Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a ceiling fan with a display component for promoting air circulation. Background Art

[0002] Ceiling fans are usually installed on the roof or above the indoor space of indoor or public places to create airflows and promote air circulation.

[0003] The graphics or colors of the appearance of existing ceiling fans are usually fixed. Therefore, existing ceiling fans do not have the function of changing the appearance graphics or colors to match environmental changes or display information.

[0004] In the prior art US application US20110044045A1, a ceiling fan with an OLED display component provided on the fan blade is disclosed. Through the OLED display component, the fan blade of the ceiling fan can emit diffused light of different colors, thereby changing the appearance color of the ceiling fan.

[0005] However, the OLED display component uses organic materials as the light-emitting layer. By applying an electric current, these materials will emit light by themselves to generate images. However, the substrate of the OLED display component itself has a certain thickness and weight, and requires complex power supply and control circuits. Therefore, setting an OLED display component on the fan blade of a ceiling fan will increase the weight of the fan blade and change the aerodynamic shape of the fan blade. And because the OLED display component needs to consume a certain amount of current and needs continuous power supply to maintain light emission or display graphics, it will increase the power consumption of the ceiling fan. And when the ceiling fan stops running, continuous power supply is also required to maintain the graphics or colors displayed by the OLED display component.

[0006] Due to the above factors, existing ceiling fans cannot change the appearance color or graphics, and the technology of setting an OLED display component on the fan blade or ceiling fan to change the appearance graphics or colors of the ceiling fan is also limited by the characteristics of the OLED display component and has quite a lot of limitations. Therefore, how to overcome the above defects through the improvement of structural design has become one of the important issues to be solved in this industry. Summary of the Utility Model

The present utility model can be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified and changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the concept of the present utility model. Additionally, it should be noted in advance that the drawings of the present utility model are only simple schematic illustrations and are not drawn according to actual dimensions. The following embodiments will further detail the related technical content of the present utility model, but the disclosed content is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. In addition, the term "or" used herein may include any one or a combination of multiple of the related listed items depending on the actual situation.

[0038] [First Embodiment]

[0039] Refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the first embodiment of the present utility model provides a ceiling fan 1 with an electronic paper display component. As Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, the ceiling fan 1 includes: a fixed component 100, a movable component 200, and a driving component and a control component (not shown in the figure).

[0040] Among them, the fixed component 100 includes but is not limited to: a suspension component 110, a surrounding component 120, and at least one fixed housing 130. Among them, the suspension component 110 can be installed on the roof or an upper position of an indoor space to install the ceiling fan 1 on the roof or above the indoor space; the surrounding component 120 is composed of an annular member surrounding the periphery of the ceiling fan 1, or a plurality of components arranged in a ring around the periphery of the ceiling fan 1.

[0041] The movable component 200 includes a plurality of fan blades 210. The plurality of fan blades 210 are connected to the hub and the drive component (not shown in the figure) of the ceiling fan, so that the plurality of fan blades 210 can be driven by the drive component to rotate and drive the air flow.

[0042] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the fixed component 100 and the movable component 200 of the ceiling fan 1 respectively have a plurality of surfaces that can be seen by the users in the indoor space in the ceiling fan usage state. And at least one electronic paper display component 300 is provided on at least one surface of the fixed component 100 or the movable component 200. The electronic paper display component 300 is configured to change the color or pattern of at least one surface of the ceiling fan 1.

[0043] As Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, the visible surface of the movable component 200 is the bottom surfaces 211 of the plurality of fan blades 210, and a plurality of electronic paper display components 300 are provided on the bottom surfaces of the fan blades 210. Therefore, the color or pattern displayed on the bottom surfaces of the fan blades 210 can be changed through the plurality of electronic paper display components 300.

[0044] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, in this embodiment, the bottom surface, the outer side surface, and the inner side surface of the surrounding component 120 of the fixed component 100 can be visible surfaces, and an electronic paper display component 300 is provided on the surface of the surrounding component 120.

[0045] As Figure 5 shown, the bottom surface and the side surface of the fixed housing 130 of the fixed component 100 are visible surfaces, and an electronic paper display component 300 is provided on the bottom surface and the side surface of the fixed housing 130.

[0046] It should be noted that Figure 1In the illustrated embodiment, although the electronic paper display component 300 is provided on the surfaces of the surrounding component 120, the fixed housing 130 of the fixed component 100, and the fan blades 210 of the movable component 200, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the position where the electronic paper display component 300 is provided is not limited to the positions disclosed in the foregoing drawings. Any visible surface of the fixed component or the movable component of the ceiling fan 1 in the use state (for example, the surface of the housing of the ceiling fan, the surface of the wheel bracket, etc.) can be provided with the electronic paper display component. In addition, the ceiling fan 1 of the present invention can be provided with the electronic paper display component 300 on only one of the fixed component 100 or the movable component 200, without the need to provide the electronic paper display component 300 on both the fixed component 100 and the movable component 200.

[0047] More specifically, the electronic paper display component 300 can include at least one flexible electronic paper display 310. The electronic paper display 310 is a thin-film display using electrophoretic display (EPD) technology. It generally includes main components such as upper and lower substrates, microcapsules, pigment particles, electrodes, etc. Among them, the substrates are usually made of plastic or glass materials and serve as the support structure of the display. There is a transparent polymer substrate in the gap between the upper and lower substrates, and the microcapsules are distributed in the transparent polymer substrate. The microcapsules contain charged pigment particles, and these particles move under the action of an electric field to form a visible image. The upper and lower electrodes are provided on the substrates to control the generation of the electric field, thereby controlling the color change of the microcapsules displayed, and causing the graphics or colors displayed by the electronic paper display 310 to change.

[0048] The electronic paper display 310 controls the movement of the pigment particles in the microcapsules of the electronic paper display 310 through electrophoretic display (EPD) technology or electrochromic display (ECD) technology to form an image. The electronic paper display only requires power when refreshing the display content, and does not require power during static display. Moreover, the electronic paper display itself does not emit light and does not require a backlight, so it has the characteristic of low power consumption. In addition, the electronic paper display 310 has a thin-film structure, and its control circuit is simple, so it has the characteristics of small size, thin thickness, and light weight.

[0049] Since the structure and specific details of the electronic paper display 310 are considered to be well-known to those skilled in the art, further description of its structure and technical details is not required.

[0050] Due to the above characteristics of the electronic paper display component 300 of the present utility model and its flexibility, the electronic paper display component 300 can cooperate with the ceiling fan 1 to conform to the bending shape of the fixed component 100 or the movable component 200 of the ceiling fan 1, and is arranged on the surface of the fixed component 100 or the movable component 200 of the ceiling fan 1 in a conforming manner, without significantly increasing the thickness and weight of the fixed component 100 or the movable component 200 of the ceiling fan 1. Moreover, when the electronic paper display component 300 is arranged on the aerodynamic surface of the fan blade 210 of the ceiling fan 1, it will not significantly change the shape of the aerodynamic surface of the fan blade 210, thus affecting the aerodynamic performance of the fan blade 210.

[0051] Furthermore, because the electronic paper display component 300 has low power consumption and can maintain the displayed graphics or colors without power supply, the electronic paper display component 300 will not increase the power consumption of the ceiling fan 1, and when the ceiling fan 1 is in an unoperated state, the electronic paper display component 300 can still maintain the graphics or colors in the last displayed state.

[0052] As Figure 6 shown is a block schematic diagram of the control circuit of the ceiling fan 1 and the electronic paper display component 300 of the present utility model. In this embodiment, the control circuit includes: a power supply 460, a processing unit 400, a wireless communication unit 410, a sensing unit 420, a driving module 430, a motor 450, a lighting and additional function unit 440, and an electronic paper display component 300, as well as a power supply unit 320.

[0053] Among them, the power supply 460 is used to supply the power required for the ceiling fan 1 or the electronic paper display component 300. The processing unit 400 contains a microprocessor and is used to control the operation of the ceiling fan 1 and the electronic paper display component 300. The wireless communication unit 410 and the sensing unit 420 are connected to the processing unit 400. The wireless communication unit 410 can be one of the wireless communication devices selected from wireless communication protocols such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LoRa, ZigBee, RFID, UWB, IrDA, etc., and can communicate with connected electronic devices (such as mobile phones, remote controls, smart home gateways, or other networked electronic devices) through wireless communication means and receive instructions or information from the electronic devices.

[0054] The sensing unit 420 is connected to the processing unit 400. The sensing unit 420 can include: a light sensing unit 421 and an air quality sensing unit 422, which are used to detect at least one environmental parameter of the environment around the ceiling fan 1, and the processing unit 400 can control the ceiling fan 1 and the electronic paper display component 300 according to at least one environmental parameter detected by the sensing unit 420.

[0055] The processing unit 400 is also connected to the driving module 430, and controls the motor 450, the lamp and additional function unit 440, and the electronic paper display component 300 through the driving module 430. Among them, the driving module 430 includes a controller for controlling the motor 450 of the ceiling fan 1, the lamp and additional function unit 440, and the electronic paper display component 300; the motor 450 is used to drive the blades 210 of the ceiling fan 1 to rotate to generate an air flow; the lamp and additional function unit 440 can include additional function components such as a lamp, an ultraviolet sterilizer, and an ozone generator, which are used to provide illumination, or provide additional functions such as clean air, sterilization, and elimination of air odor; the electronic paper display component 300 can be controlled by the processing unit 400 and the driving module 430 to change the graphics or colors displayed by the electronic paper display component 300, so that the graphics or colors on the surface provided with the electronic paper display component 300 are changed.

[0056] In one application embodiment of the ceiling fan with an electronic paper display component of the present utility model, the processing unit 400 of the ceiling fan 1 can control the graphics or colors displayed by the electronic paper display component 300 according to the signals received by the wireless communication unit 410, so that the graphics or colors on the surface of the ceiling fan 1 can be changed according to the signals output by the electronic device connected to the wireless communication unit 410. For example, the ceiling fan 1 can communicate with a remote control or a mobile phone through the wireless communication unit 410, so that the operator can control the graphics or colors of the electronic paper display component 300 through the remote control or the mobile phone; for another example, the wireless communication unit 410 can communicate with a smart home gateway, and the smart home gateway can output control signals according to the built-in software or program, or the signals output by other electronic devices connected to the smart home gateway, to control the change of the graphics or colors displayed by the electronic paper display component 300.

[0057] In another application embodiment of the ceiling fan with an electronic paper display component of the present utility model, the processing unit 400 of the ceiling fan 1 can control the graphics or colors displayed by the electronic paper display component 300 according to at least one environmental parameter detected by the sensing unit 420, so that the graphics or colors on the surface of the ceiling fan 1 can be changed according to at least one environmental parameter.

[0058] More specifically, in this embodiment, the light sensing unit 421 of the sensing unit 420 can include a color temperature / color sensor (such as an RGB tri-color sensor, a spectral sensor, or an image sensor, etc.), or a sensor for sensing light illuminance (such as a phototransistor, a digital light sensor, etc.), or a composite sensor for color temperature / color and illuminance. The light sensing unit 421 can detect changes in the color temperature, light color, or light illuminance of the indoor space, and the processing unit 400 can generate a control signal for controlling the color or pattern displayed on the electronic paper display component 300 based on the detection signal output by the light sensing unit 421, so that the color or pattern displayed on the electronic paper display component 300 can change according to the light changes in the surrounding environment.

[0059] For example, Figure 11 and Figure 12 illustrates the change situation of the appearance color or pattern of the ceiling fan 1 in this embodiment according to the change of indoor light. Figure 11 It is disclosed that when the ceiling fan 1 has bright light illumination in an indoor space S, or has a high color temperature (such as higher than 4000K), or is in a light color system environment, the processing unit 400 of the ceiling fan 1 can control the electronic paper display component 300 on the outer surface of the ceiling fan 1 to display colors or patterns that match the bright light, high color temperature, or light color system. Figure 12 It is disclosed that when the ceiling fan 1 has low illuminance in an indoor space S, or has a low color temperature (such as lower than 3500K), or is in a dark color system environment, the processing unit 400 of the ceiling fan 1 can control the electronic paper display component 300 on the outer surface of the ceiling fan 1 to display colors or patterns that can match the low illuminance, low color temperature, or dark color system.

[0060] Therefore, the ceiling fan 1 of the present utility model can change the color or pattern of the appearance of the ceiling fan 1 according to the changes of natural light during day and night, or the brightness or color temperature changes of indoor lighting, as well as the color changes of indoor decoration or furnishings, so that the appearance color or pattern of the ceiling fan 1 can blend into the indoor environment.

[0061] The air quality sensing unit 422 of the sensing unit 420 can include one or more sensors for detecting air quality, such as: carbon dioxide (CO2) sensor, volatile organic compound (VOC) sensor, fine suspended particulate (PM2.5 and PM10) sensor, carbon monoxide (CO) sensor, ozone (O3) sensor, temperature and humidity sensor, etc. The processing unit 400 is configured to be able to detect one or more air quality-related parameters (such as: carbon dioxide concentration, chemical volatile substance concentration, air suspended particulate concentration, ozone concentration, temperature, humidity, etc.) of the indoor space through the air quality sensing unit 422, to judge the air quality state of the indoor environment, and to control the electronic paper display component 300 to display different colors or graphics according to the air quality state.

[0062] Figure 13 and Figure 14 illustrates the change situation of the appearance color or graphics of the ceiling fan 1 according to the change of the indoor air quality state in this embodiment. As Figure 13 shown, when the processing unit 400 judges that the indoor air quality state is good, it can control the electronic paper display component 300 to display the color or graphics representing good air quality. As Figure 14 shown, when the processing unit 400 judges that the indoor air quality state is poor, it can control the electronic paper display component 300 to display the color or graphics used to warn of poor indoor air quality, so that the user can know the indoor air quality state through the color or graphics displayed by the electronic paper display component 300 on the outer surface of the ceiling fan 1, and then take corresponding actions according to the air quality state displayed on the appearance of the ceiling fan 1.

[0063] It should be noted that Figure 6 Although the sensing unit 420 is shown to be directly connected to the processing unit 400, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in an embodiment not shown in the figures of the present invention, the sensing unit 420 can be connected to the wireless communication unit 410 by means of wireless communication, and then connected to the processing unit 400 through the wireless communication unit 410. In addition, the light sensing unit 421 and the air quality sensing unit 422 of the sensing unit 420 are not limited to be arranged on the ceiling fan 1. For example, various sensors of the light sensing unit 421 and the air quality sensing unit 422 of the sensing unit 420 can be arranged at different positions in the indoor space S, and connected to the processing unit 400 by means of wireless communication, or connected to the processing unit 400 by communicating with the wireless communication unit 410 of the ceiling fan 1 through a communication intermediate device (such as: smart home gateway, wireless router, etc.).

[0064] As Figure 6As shown, the power supply unit 320 is connected to the electronic paper display component 300 to supply the power required by the electronic paper display component 300. In an embodiment of the present invention, the power supply unit 320 is an electrical connection device connected between the power supply 460 of the ceiling fan 1 and the electronic paper display component 300, so that the power supply 460 of the ceiling fan 1 can supply power to the electronic paper display component 300.

[0065] In another embodiment of the present invention, the power supply unit 320 can include at least one power generation component 321. Taking Figure 7 the embodiment shown as an example, the power generation component 321 can be arranged on the fan blade 210. The power generation component 321 can be a solar cell, a wind power generation component, a piezoelectric power generation component or other types of power generation components. The power supply unit 320 can supply the power generated by the power generation component 321 to the electronic paper display component 300.

In this embodiment, the movable component 200 of the ceiling fan 1 has a fan blade 210 with a spiral curved arc surface, and the electronic paper display component 300 is arranged on the bottom surface 211 of the fan blade 210. Since the fan blade 210 in this embodiment has a large bending arc and presents a spiral shape, the electronic paper display component 300 in this embodiment is composed of a plurality of electronic paper displays 310 spliced together. In this embodiment, the bottom surface 211 of the fan blade 210 is pre-planned into a plurality of divided blocks according to the curved arc surface and the curved shape of the fan blade 210, and the electronic paper display 310 is cut according to the contour shape of each divided block after being unfolded, and the plurality of cut electronic paper displays 310 are attached to the corresponding divided blocks, so that the plurality of electronic paper displays 310 are spliced into an electronic paper display component 300 covering the entire bottom surface 211 of the fan blade. And in this embodiment, a joint 311 is formed between the adjacent edges of every two adjacent electronic paper displays 310.

[0068] Through the splicing method, the electronic paper display component 300 can be attached to a curved surface or an arc surface that exceeds the bendable degree of the electronic paper display 310.

The ceiling fan 1 further has a lamp 140 located inside the surrounding component 120. The inner surface 123 of the surrounding component 120 facing the lamp 140 forms a reflecting surface capable of reflecting the light of the lamp. The electronic paper display component 300 is disposed on the inner surface 123 of the surrounding component 120.
