Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to an external smart device for a ceiling fan receiving box and, in particular, to a ceiling fan wireless control device of selectable in assembly and disassembly.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A conventional ceiling fan control receiving box body 10, as shown in FIG. 6, is mounted on the hanger body 31 of the ceiling fan hanger set 30. The ceiling fan control receiving box body 10 and the hanger body 31 are further disposed in the hanging bell body 32. Inside the ceiling fan control receiving body 10 is provided with an RF control module and a wireless control module (not shown). The user uses a remote control or mobile phone to do remote control on the RF control module or the wireless control module in the receiving box 10. However, as the RF control module and the wireless control module are arranged in the ceiling fan control receiving box 10 without any choices. This results in higher costs in production and purchase. Moreover, it cannot satisfy user' s choices according to needs. When either of the RF control module and the wireless control module disposed in the ceiling fan control receiving box 10 fails, the entire ceiling fan control receiving box 10 must be replaced altogether, instead of each component individually. This is not environment-friendly, and the cost of replacement is higher. It is necessary to search for improvements.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention is inspired by the fact that the conventional ceiling fan receiving box has high costs of purchase and replacement and is not environment-friendly.

An objective of the invention is to provide an external smart device for a ceiling fan receiving box, which comprises a wireless control receiving box body and a ceiling fan control receiving box body. The wireless control receiving box body has an upper box body and a lower box body. The upper box body and the lower box body are fixedly coupled to each other. A positioning joint hole is provided on an end side of the upper box body, and is provided with a positioning joint element. The outer side of the lower box body is provided with an engaging surface part, which is provided with a contact opening. An end side of the engaging surface part is provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions. A wireless receiving control circuit board is disposed in the upper box body and the lower box body. The wireless receiving control circuit board is provided with a Bluetooth wireless remote control module or a Wi-Fi wireless network remote control module. The wireless receiving control circuit board is provided with a contact terminal, which corresponds to the contact opening provided on the engaging surface part. The ceiling fan control receiving box body is provided with a box body, the outer side of which is provided with a positioning engaging surface part. The other side of the box body is provided with a joint hole groove. The positioning engaging surface part is provided with a lead opening and a plurality of positioning holes. Inside the box body is provided with an RF control circuit board and a buzzer, which are electrically connected with each other. The RF control circuit board is provided with a lead terminal, which corresponds to the positioning engaging surface part of the box body. The lead opening and the engaging surface part provided on the lower box body of the wireless control receiving box body correspond to the positioning engaging surface part provided on the boxy body of the ceiling fan control receiving box body. The positioning protrusions on the engaging surface part are inserted and fixed into the positioning holes on the positioning engaging surface part. The positioning joint hole on the end side of the upper box body is combined with the joint hole groove on the box body and is fixed by the positioning joint element. The contact opening on the engaging surface part is opposite to the lead opening on the positioning engaging surface part, so that the contact terminal disposed on the wireless control receiving circuit board inside the wireless control receiving box body is in electrical connection with the lead terminal on the RF control circuit board in the ceiling fan control receiving box. With the selection of assembly and disassembly between the wireless control receiving box and the ceiling fan control box body, they are combined into a ceiling fan hanger set that contains a hanger set and a is provided with a hanger body and a hanging bell body. The assembled wireless control receiving box body and the ceiling fan control receiving box body are combined into the hanger body and housed in the hanging bell body. When the wireless control receiving box body and the ceiling fan control receiving box body are assembled, the RF control circuit board inside the ceiling fan control receiving box body controls the buzzer to send a warning sound about connection. The user uses a remote control or mobile phone to perform remote control of the receiving box body and the wireless control receiving box body. The user can selectively use the wireless control receiving box body alone or in company with the ceiling fan control receiving box body. The design of separate independent components can effectively reduce the costs of production and purchase. When the wireless control receiving box body or the ceiling fan control receiving box body fails, one can replace the component individually. This greatly reduces the waste of raw materials and the generation of wastes for environmental protection. Moreover, it reduces the cost of component replacements. As a result, it achieves the effects of low costs of purchase and replacements and being environment-friendly.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The aforementioned and other objectives and advantages of this disclosure will become clearer in light of the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment of this invention described in connection with the drawings.

Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 3 for a three-dimensional assembly view, a three-dimensional exploded view, and a side cross-sectional view of the disclosed external smart device for a ceiling fan receiving box, respectively. Connected to a ceiling fan control receiving box body 20, the external smart device comprises: a wireless control receiving box body 10 composed of an upper box body 11 and a lower box body 12. The upper box body 11 and the lower box body 12 are connected and fixed together. The outer side of the lower box body 12 is provided with an engaging surface part 120 having a contact opening 120A. Inside the upper box body 11 and the lower box body 12 is provided with a wireless receiving control circuit board 13, which has a Bluetooth wireless remote control module or Wi-Fi wireless network remote control module (not shown). The wireless receiving control circuit board 13 is provided with a contact terminal 130 corresponding to the contact opening 120A provided on the engaging surface part 120 of the lower box body 12.

With the above-mentioned structure, the disclosed external smart device for a ceiling fan receiving box is formed.
