The present invention relates to a ceiling fan, and more particularly to a ceiling fan having double-layer blades.
A conventional double-motor ceiling fan structure includes a ceiling fan body. Either side of the ceiling fan body is connected with a motor. Each motor has a motor housing. The motor housing is provided with a plurality of blade holders. Each blade holder is provided with a blade. The dual-motor ceiling fan structure is driven by the motors to rotate the corresponding blades. Compared with a single-motor ceiling fan, the dual-motor ceiling fan structure can generate greater current of air for cooling.
However, the above-mentioned dual-motor ceiling fan structure is not only complicated and cumbersome but also expensive. Another conventional dual-motor ceiling fan structure provides blades that are rotated reversely. This rotation will offset air current and cannot generate more wind volume. Accordingly, the inventor of the present invention has devoted himself based on his many years of practical experiences to solve these problems.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a ceiling fan having double-layer blades, which increases the current of air for cooling and has the advantages of saving costs and installation costs.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a ceiling fan having double-layer blades. The ceiling fan comprises a motor unit, a blade frame unit, a first blade unit, and a second blade unit. The motor unit includes a motor. The motor has a rotating component. The blade frame unit has a blade frame body. The blade frame body is arranged on an outer peripheral side of the motor. The blade frame body is fixedly connected to the rotating component of the motor. An upper end of the blade frame body has an upper mounting portion. A lower end of the blade frame body has a lower mounting portion. The first blade unit includes a plurality of first blades. The first blades each have a first fixing portion, a first extension wall, and a first blade portion. The first fixing portions of the first blades are fixed to the upper mounting portion. The first extension wall and the first blade portion of each first blade are connected to each other. The first extension walls of the first blades extend axially along the blade frame body. The first extension walls of the first blades surround an outside of the blade frame body to collectively form a first casing. The first casing has a first accommodating space therein. The second blade unit includes a plurality of second blades. The second blades each have a second fixing portion, a second extension wall, and a second blade portion. The second fixing portions of the second blades are fixed to the lower mounting portion. The second extension wall and the second blade portion of each second blade arc connected to each other. The second extension walls of the second blades extend axially along the blade frame body. The second extension walls of the second blades surround the outside of the blade frame body to collectively form a second casing. The second casing has a second accommodating space therein. The first accommodating space of the first casing and the second accommodating space of the second casing are configured to accommodate the blade frame body and the motor.
In the ceiling fan having double-layer blades provided by the present invention, the first casing formed by the first blades and the second casing formed by the second blades collectively surround the outside of the blade frame body, so that there is no need for the motor unit to provide a motor housing for connecting the first blade unit and the second blade unit, thereby saving costs and installation costs. With the multi-layer arrangement of the first blades of the first blade unit and the second blades of the second blade unit, the ceiling fan having double-layer blades can increase the current of air for cooling.
