Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of ceiling fans, and in particular to a ceiling fan control panel. Background Art
[0002] Traditional ceiling fan motors generally have a disc-shaped part added above the motor bearing for installing the control board. If there is no control board, it can also prevent the leads or debris from contacting the rotating motor end cover and fan blades.
[0003] This disc-shaped part is usually fixed by screwing on the side, or fixed with a tight fit to the shaft. Screwing on the side will add a process, and tight fit will make rework difficult. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a ceiling fan control panel, aiming to solve the problems in the background technology.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the utility model, the first aspect of the utility model provides a ceiling fan control panel, including a control panel body, the control panel body including:
[0006] A positioning rib having a clearance fit with the shaft of the ceiling fan motor;
[0007] at least two claw-like structures, said claw-like structures being tightly fitted with grooves machined on said shaft;
[0008] The claw-like structure is elastic, and the control plate body is pushed into and fixed in the groove of the shaft along the axial direction by the elastic claw-like structure, and is prevented from rotating and falling out by friction.
[0009] Optionally, during installation, the control panel body is manually pressed into the shaft until the claw-like structure enters the groove on the shaft and fits tightly against the groove wall.
[0010] Optionally, during disassembly, the claws of the claw-like structure may be stretched outward using a tool so that the control panel main body can be easily removed from the groove of the shaft.
[0011] Optionally, the groove on the shaft matches the claw-like structure to achieve stable installation of the control panel. Beneficial Effects
[0012] The utility model provides a ceiling fan control panel, which has beneficial effects after deduction based on the above contents.
[0013] This utility model provides a ceiling fan control panel. Its main body, using elastic claws, can be manually pressed axially onto the motor shaft, eliminating the need for additional tools or fasteners. This greatly simplifies the installation process and improves work efficiency. The clearance between the positioning ridges and the motor shaft ensures easy alignment of the control panel during installation and prevents unnecessary rotation, further enhancing installation convenience.
[0014] 2. The ceiling fan control panel of this utility model utilizes a claw-like elastic design that allows it to deform during insertion and pass through the slot on the motor shaft.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 An embodiment of the present invention provides an embodiment of a ceiling fan control panel, including a control panel body 1, wherein the control panel body 1 includes:
[0026] A positioning rib 12 is provided, wherein the positioning rib 12 is loosely fitted with the shaft 2 of the ceiling fan motor;
[0027] at least two claw-like structures 11, wherein the claw-like structures 11 are tightly fitted with the grooves machined on the shaft 2;
[0028] The claw-like structure 11 is elastic, and the control panel body 1 is pushed along the shaft 2 and fixed in the groove of the shaft 2 by the elastic claw-like structure 11, preventing rotation and disengagement by friction. The groove on the shaft 2 matches the claw-like structure 11 to achieve a stable installation of the control panel.
[0029] During installation, the control panel body 1 is manually pressed into the shaft 2 until the claw-like structure 11 enters the groove on the shaft 2 and fits tightly against the groove wall.
[0030] During disassembly, the claws of the claw-like structure 11 are stretched outward using a tool, so that the control panel main body 1 can be easily removed from the groove of the shaft 2 .
[0031] It should be noted that the control panel body 1 is provided with a positioning ridge 12, which provides a clearance fit with the ceiling fan motor shaft 2. When the control panel is installed on the motor shaft 2, the positioning ridge 12 positions the shaft 2 to prevent rotation. The control panel body 1 is equipped with at least two elastic claw-like structures 11. These claw-like structures 11 are designed to fit tightly into the grooves on the motor shaft 2. Due to their elastic properties, the claw-like structures 11 can be pushed along the shaft 2 during installation. Once inside the groove of the shaft 2, they tightly adhere to the groove wall, using friction to prevent the control panel from rotating or accidentally falling out.
[0032] During installation, the operator manually presses the control panel body 1 along the axis 2 into the motor shaft 2. Due to the elasticity of the claw-like structures 11, they automatically adapt to the outer diameter of the shaft 2 and naturally fit into the groove when they encounter it, achieving a secure installation. This process requires no additional tools or fasteners, simplifying the installation process and improving efficiency.
[0033] Disassembly requires the use of a specialized tool. This tool stretches the claw-like structure 11 outward, reducing friction between the claw and the groove on shaft 2. The operator can then gently push the control panel upward along shaft 2 to smoothly disengage it from the motor shaft 2. This method ensures safe and convenient disassembly while avoiding damage to the control panel or motor shaft 2.
[0034] Once installed, without human intervention, the control panel is firmly fixed in place due to the friction between the claw structure 11 and the shaft 2 groove, and cannot rotate or fall off on its own. This design not only enhances safety
[0035] In specific applications, there is a clearance fit between the positioning rib 12 on the control panel main body 1 and the motor shaft 2. This design allows the operator to easily align the control panel with the motor shaft 2 and slide it along the shaft 2 until the claw-like structure 11 reaches the preset position. The at least two elastic claw-like structures 11 equipped on the control panel main body 1 are the key to the entire installation mechanism. These claw-like structures 11 have sufficient elasticity to deform during the pushing process and pass through the groove on the motor shaft 2. Once inside the groove, the claw-like structure 11 will return to its original shape and tightly fit against the groove wall to form a tight fit.
[0036] When the claw-like structures 11 are fully embedded in the groove, the tight contact between them and the groove wall will generate significant frictional force. This frictional force not only prevents the control panel from rotating on its own during motor rotation but also stops it from accidentally disengaging along the shaft 2 direction, thus ensuring the stable installation of the control panel.
[0037] During the operation of the ceiling fan, the control panel relies on the above installation mechanism to remain stable and will not become loose or displaced due to the vibration or rotation of the motor. Specifically:
[0038] Due to the tight fit and high frictional force between the claw-like structures 11 and the groove of the shaft 2, even when the motor runs at high speed, the control panel will not rotate. This ensures the stability of all electrical components and wiring terminals on the control panel and avoids the risk of connection loosening or short circuit caused by rotation. In the radial direction and the axial direction of the motor shaft 2, the control panel is effectively fixed. Radially, the tight fit of the claw-like structures 11 against the groove wall provides the necessary support; axially, the frictional force prevents the control panel from moving up and down. Therefore, during the normal operation of the ceiling fan, the control panel always remains in the correct position.
[0039] When it is necessary to disassemble the control panel for maintenance or replacement, the application of a special tooling makes this process simple and damage-free. The specific steps are as follows:
[0040] Use the tooling to stretch the claw-like structure 11 outward to reduce the frictional force between the claw and the groove of the shaft 2. This can reduce the force required for disassembly and also reduce the potential damage to the control panel and the motor shaft 2. After reducing the frictional force, the operator can gently push the control panel upward along the shaft 2 direction to smoothly disengage it from the motor shaft 2. The whole process does not require additional tools or complex operations, ensuring the safety and convenience of disassembly.
[0041] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and it does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be similarly included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
