DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1 through FIG. 4, an installation structure 100 of a ceiling fan and an upper illuminating lamp according to a first embodiment of the present invention comprises a ceiling fan body 10, a down rod 20, a lamp unit 30, a first mounting unit 40, and a second mounting unit 50.

The ceiling fan body 10 has a connecting portion 11 on its upper side. The ceiling fan body 10 further has a peripheral wall 12.

The down rod 20 is connected to the upper side of the ceiling fan body 10. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the down rod 20 is connected to the inside of the connecting portion 11.

The lamp unit 30 is disposed above the ceiling fan body 10. The lamp unit 30 is disposed within the peripheral wall 12 of the ceiling fan body 10 to prevent the lamp from falling off because of looseness. The lamp unit 30 includes at least one lamp 31. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the number of the at least one lamp 31 is one. The lamp 31 of the lamp unit 30 is disposed on the outer side of the down rod 20. The lamp 31 has a light-emitting portion 32 on its upper side. The light-emitting portion 32 illuminates upwards. A lampshade 33 is disposed on the outer side of the light-emitting portion 32 of the lamp 31 of the lamp unit 30. The lamp unit 30 has a longitudinal through space 34 corresponding to the down rod 20. The down rod 20 is inserted through the through space 34. The inner side of the lamp 31 has a longitudinal inner arc surface 35 corresponding to the down rod 20. The inner arc surface 35 of the lamp 31 of the lamp unit 30 surrounds the through space 34. The lamp 31 has a pair of longitudinal side wall surfaces 36 on its both sides. An opening 37 is defined between the pair of side wall surfaces 36 of the lamp 31. The opening 37 communicates with the through space 34. The opening 37 is configured to allow the down rod 20 to pass through.

The first mounting unit 40 is disposed on one of the connecting portion 11 and the lamp 31 of the lamp unit 30. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the first mounting unit 40 is disposed around the outer wall of the connecting portion 11. The first mounting unit 40 includes at least two protruding posts 41. The protruding posts 41 are spaced apart from each other and extend radially.

The second mounting unit 50 is disposed on the other one of the connecting portion 11 and the lamp 31 of the lamp unit 30. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the second mounting unit 50 is disposed around the inner wall of the lamp unit 30. The second mounting unit 50 corresponds to the first mounting unit 40. The second mounting unit 50 includes a plurality of guide structures 51. The guide structures 51 correspond to the protruding posts 41. The guide structures 51 each include a notch 511, a groove 512 and a guide groove 513 corresponding to the protruding posts 41. The groove 512 extends longitudinally. The notch 511 is located at one side of the groove 512 for the corresponding protruding post 41 to be located and inserted therefrom. The guide groove 513 extends from the other side of the groove 512 toward a pressing end 514 along a guide direction and a radial direction. The guide groove 513 is gradually reduced toward the pressing end 514 for guiding and tightening the corresponding protruding post 41.

In installation, the down rod 20 passes through the opening 37 and the through space 34 of the lamp unit 30. The protruding post 41 of the connecting portion 11 of the first mounting unit 40 of the ceiling fan body 10 passes through the notch 511 and the groove 512 to be inserted into the guide groove 513 of the guide structure 51 of the second mounting unit 50 of the lamp unit 30. The pressing end 514 of the guide groove 513 presses against the protruding post 41, so that the ceiling fan body 10 and the lamp unit 30 are coupled together to complete the assembly quickly.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, there are many connection implementations. Therefore, the details are not repeated here, and only one preferred implementation is listed for specific description.

FIGS. 5 to 7 illustrate a second embodiment of the present invention. The second embodiment of the present invention is substantially similar to the first embodiment with the exceptions described hereinafter.

The connecting portion 11 is disposed on the outer side of the top of the ceiling fan body 10. The number of the at least one lamp 31 is one.

The first mounting unit 40 includes a plurality of positioning posts 42 and at least one first magnetic portion 43. The positioning posts 42 extend longitudinally. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the first mounting unit 40 is disposed around the lamp unit 30.

The second mounting unit 50 includes a plurality of positioning grooves 52 and at least one second magnetic portion 53. The positioning grooves 52 correspond to the positioning posts 42. The positioning grooves 52 extend longitudinally for insertion of the positioning posts 42. The at least one second magnetic portion 53 corresponds to and attracts the at least one first magnetic portion 43. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the second mounting unit 50 is disposed around the connecting portion 11.

In installation, the down rod 20 passes through the opening 37 and the through space 34 of the lamp unit 30. The positioning posts 42 of the first mounting unit 40 of the lamp unit 30 are inserted into the positioning grooves 52 of the second mounting unit 50 of the ceiling fan body 10. The first magnetic portion 43 of the first mounting unit 40 of the lamp unit 30 attracts the second magnetic portion 53 of the second mounting unit 50 of the ceiling fan body 10, so that the ceiling fan body 10 and the lamp 31 of the lamp unit 30 are coupled together to complete the assembly quickly.

In the second embodiment of the present invention, there are many connection implementations. Therefore, the details are not repeated here, and only one preferred implementation is listed for specific description.

FIGS. 8 to 9 illustrate a third embodiment of the present invention. The third embodiment of the present invention is substantially similar to the second embodiment with the exceptions described hereinafter. The at least one lamp 31 includes a plurality of lamps. The at least one first magnetic portion 43 includes a plurality of first magnetic portions. The positioning posts 42 and the first magnetic portions 43 of the first mounting portion 40 are disposed on one of the connecting portion 11 and each lamp 31 of the lamp unit 30. The positioning grooves 52 and the second magnetic portions 53 of the second mounting portion 50 are disposed on the other one of the connecting portion 11 and each lamp 31 of the lamp unit 30. When the lamps 31 are to be assembled and disassembled, the opening 37 defined between the side wall surfaces 36 of the lamp 31 allows the displacement of the down rod 20, thereby increasing the convenience of use.

Although particular embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
