The present invention relates to a fan, and more particularly to a ceiling fan structure.
As shown in
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a ceiling fan structure. The internal space of the ceiling fan structure is properly planned so that the components of the ceiling fan structure can be reasonably configured, so as to improve the efficiency of assembly.
In order to achieve the foregoing object, the present invention provides a ceiling fan structure, comprising:
a mounting bracket fixed to a ceiling;
a hanging plate, having a top fixed to the mounting bracket, the top being formed with a recessed accommodating groove for accommodating a first electronic component;
a coupling, connected to a bottom of the accommodating groove and extending downward, the coupling being connected with a support plate extending horizontally, the support plate being configured to support a second electronic component;
a motor, connected to the coupling.
Preferably, the first electronic component is a receiver, the second electronic component is a motor forward/reverse rotation module, and the motor forward/reverse rotation module is provided with an integrated output flat cable connector.
Preferably, the accommodating groove is surrounded by four connected side walls connected to the top and a bottom wall connected to the four side walls, and the first electronic component is a receiver.
Preferably, one of the side walls is formed with a wire hole through which a wire passes.
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to
The middle portion of the top 21 of the hanging plate 2 is recessed downward to form four connected side walls 22 connected to the top 21 and a bottom wall 23 connected to the four side walls 22. A rectangular accommodating groove 24 is defined between the four side walls 22 and the bottom wall 23 to provide a first accommodating space 25 for accommodating a receiver 6. Furthermore, one of the side walls 22 is formed with a wire hole 221 for the wire of the receiver 6 to extend out of the accommodating groove 24.
The top end of the coupling 3 is locked to the bottom wall 23, and the bottom end of the coupling 3 extends downward and is connected to the motor 4, thereby hanging and positioning the motor 4 on the ceiling. The coupling 3 is connected with a support plate 31 extending horizontally. A second accommodating space 32 is defined above the support plate 31 to support a motor forward/reverse rotation module 7. The motor forward/reverse rotation module 7 is a component that integrates a controller used for controlling the forward/reverse rotation of the motor 4 and a capacitor used for controlling the speed of the motor 4, and that integrates its wire connectors into an output flat cable connector (not shown in the figure). Accordingly, only the output flat cable connector needs to be wired in the assembly process, instead of wiring each electronic component one by one, so as to simplify the assembly and save time.
The mounting bracket 1 is formed with a plurality of gourd-shaped holes 12. The housing 5 is provided with a plurality of screws 51. The housing 5 is rotatably coupled to the mounting bracket 1 through the cooperation of the gourd-shaped holes 12 and the screws 51, and covers various components of the ceiling fan, including the hanging plate 2, the coupling 3 and the motor 4.
With the above structure, the present invention properly plans the space inside the ceiling fan for the hanging plate 2 to form the accommodating groove 24, and the receiver 6 is arranged in the accommodating groove 24, without installing on the support plate 31. In addition, the present invention may be a ceiling fan without a receiver in the original specifications. The accommodating groove of the hanging plate is provided for the user to install the receiver thereafter to facilitate the assembly. Accordingly, since the receiver 6 and the motor forward/reverse rotation module 7 are respectively located in the accommodating groove 24 and on the support plate 31, they will not crowd each other. Thus, other components can have a reasonable configuration, so that the internal components of the ceiling fan are kept at an appropriate distance to facilitate ventilation and heat dissipation.
