Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a ceiling fan, in particular to a ceiling fan with conveniently installed fan blades. Background Art

[0002] Ceiling fans are hung on the ceiling to supply air. They do not occupy floor space and are widely used. Ceiling fans generally include a motor that drives a turntable to rotate. A number of fan blades are inserted on the turntable. For the convenience of storage and transportation, the fan blades and the turntable are unpacked. After purchase, users need to assemble the fan blades and the turntable by themselves, and then hang the ceiling fan on the ceiling.

[0003] There are generally two ways to fix the existing fan blades and turntable: 1. The fan blades are locked and fixed to the turntable by multiple screws. This structure requires users to prepare special screwdriver tools, and each fan blade requires multiple screws to ensure a reliable connection. The operation of multiple screws is labor-intensive. A ceiling fan has at least 3 fan blades. At least ten screws need to be tightened to install all the fan blades. For users, the installation of the fan blades is too troublesome; 2. Automatic locking mechanism. During assembly, the fan blades are directly inserted into the slots of the turntable, triggering the automatic locking mechanism in the turntable to lock the fan blades. Although this structure is indeed convenient for users to install, the automatic locking mechanism is complex, costly, and easy to damage.

[0004] For this reason, it is necessary to improve and optimize the existing ceiling fans. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the embodiments of the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments described below can be combined with each other arbitrarily without conflict.

[0037] Many different implementations or examples are provided below to implement the structure of the present utility model.

[0038] See also Figure 1-Figure 11 The utility model is a ceiling fan with easy installation of fan blades, comprising a hanger 1, which is fixed on the ceiling. The specific structure is a well-known technology. The motor is installed below the hanger 1, and the motor is covered by a decorative cover and is not visible; the turntable 2 is connected to the motor and driven by the motor. Specifically, in this embodiment, the motor is an outer rotor motor, and the turntable 2 is connected and fixed to the outer rotor. A slot 21 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the turntable 2, and there are multiple slots 21. The turntable 2 is provided with a screw hole 22; the fan blade 3 is inserted into the slot 21. A limiting groove 31 is provided at the root of the blade 3; a pressure plate 4 is crimped onto the fan blade 3, and a limiting buckle 41 is provided on the pressure plate 4, and the limiting buckle 41 is located in the limiting groove 31 to limit the radial displacement of the fan blade 3; a hand-tightening bolt 5 passes through the pressure plate 4 and is connected to the screw hole 22 to fix the pressure plate 4 on the turntable 2, and the hand-tightening bolt 5 includes a screw rod 51 and a hand-tightening portion 52 fixed on the screw rod 51, and the hand-tightening portion 52 is a round cap, a polygonal cap or a horn head, wherein the screw rod 51 passes through the pressure plate 4 and is connected to the screw hole 22.

[0039] See Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, the pressure plate 4 is a U-shaped plate, including a bottom plate 42 and side plates 43 arranged on both sides of the bottom plate 42, the limiting buckle 41 is arranged on the bottom plate 42 or the side plate 43, and the limiting groove 31 is arranged on both side edges of the fan blade 3. The setting of the side plate 43 can form circumferential limitations on both sides of the root of the fan blade to prevent the fan blade 3 from circumferentially shaking when rotating.

[0040] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, the side panel 43 includes a first side panel 431 and a second side panel 432, and the first side panel 431 and the second side panel 432 each have two left and right panels, and the opening between the two first side panels 431 is larger than the opening between the second side panels 432, and a guide slope 44 is provided on the second side panel 432. Thus, when the fan blades are inserted from the radial direction, it is convenient for the fan blades to be inserted into the opening between the first side panels 431, and inserted into the opening between the second side panels 432 under the guidance of the guide slope 44, and the second side panel 432 can form a good abutment limit on both sides of the fan blades in the circumferential direction.

[0041] See Fig.10 and Fig.11As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a cushion block 6 is further included. When the fan blade 3 is not installed, the cushion block 6 is located between the pressure plate 4 and the turntable 2, so that an escape space A is formed between the pressure plate 4 and the turntable 2; when the fan blade 3 is inserted into the escape space A, the fan blade 3 pushes the cushion block 6 out. This structure allows the pressure plate 4 to be pre-installed on the turntable 2 (such as Fig.10 As shown in FIG. 1 , due to the presence of the cushion block 6, the pressure plate 4 will not be pressed against or too close to the turntable 2 after pre-installation. The thickness of the cushion block 6 is the same as or slightly larger than the thickness of the root of the fan blade. Therefore, the height of the avoidance space A between the pressure plate 4 and the turntable 2 is just enough to allow the fan blade 3 to be inserted. For details, see Fig.11 As shown, when the fan blade 3 is inserted into the slot 21 on the turntable 2 and continues to be pushed inward, the root of the fan blade 3 will push out the pad 6, wherein the two dotted arrows respectively indicate the pushing direction of the fan blade and the pushing direction of the pad 6. The pad 6 can be discarded after it falls off. Therefore, the user only needs to do two actions: insert the fan blade 3 and tighten the hand bolt 5 to complete the connection and fixation of the fan blade 3 on the turntable 2.

[0042] For the structure without the cushion block 6, the installation of the fan blade is as follows: insert the fan blade 3 into the slot 21 and push it inward to the position, then place the pressure plate 4 at the root of the fan blade 3, so that the limit buckle 41 on the pressure plate 4 is inserted into the limit groove 31 of the fan blade 3, and then tighten the hand bolt 5. Therefore, the provision of the cushion block 6 reduces the installation steps of the pressure plate 4 on the turntable 2, making the installation of the fan blade simpler and more efficient.

[0043] See Fig.11 As shown, in order to avoid the hand-tightening bolt 5, an avoidance groove 32 can be provided at the root of the blade 3, so that when the pressure plate 4 is pre-installed on the turntable 2 using the cushion block 6, the insertion of the blade 3 will not be blocked by the hand-tightening bolt 5. It is understandable that the root of the blade 3 can also be divided into two to avoid the hand-tightening bolt 5.

[0044] In order to improve the limiting fixation of the fan blades, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the number of groups of the limiting grooves 31 and the limiting buckles 41 is two or more, such as Fig.11 As shown, two groups are selected in this embodiment.

[0045] In order to prevent the hand-tightening bolt 5 from loosening when the ceiling fan is working, in some embodiments of the utility model, a gasket 7 is provided between the hand-tightening bolt 5 and the pressing plate 4 .

[0046] The ceiling fan of the embodiment of the utility model can be a ceiling fan for blowing air only, or a lighting assembly 8 can be connected and fixed to the motor shaft of the motor, and the ceiling fan forms a ceiling fan lamp, integrating blowing air and lighting.

[0047] From the above structural analysis, it can be known that the embodiment of the utility model sets a pressure plate 4, which is crimped onto the fan blade 3, and a limiting buckle 41 is set on the pressure plate 4, and the limiting buckle 41 is located in the limiting groove 31 of the fan blade 3 to limit the radial displacement of the fan blade 3; the hand-tightening bolt 5 passes through the pressure plate 4 and is connected with the screw hole 22 in the turntable 2 to fix the pressure plate 4 on the turntable 2. During installation, the user only needs to crimp the pressure plate 4 onto the fan blade 3 and manually tighten the hand-tightening bolt 5. The fan blade 3 will not radially separate from the turntable 2 under the cooperation of the limiting groove 31 and the limiting buckle 41, and the method of fixing the fan blade by hand with multiple screws in the prior art is abandoned, thereby reducing the labor of the user when installing the fan blade. Compared with the existing automatic locking structure, the structure described in the embodiment of the utility model is simpler and has lower cost.

[0048] The embodiments of the utility model are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the utility model.
