Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of fans, in particular to a driving component used on a fan, a fan, and a fan lamp. Background Art

[0002] The fan is used for blowing air. In order to increase the blowing surface, a shaking mechanism is generally provided on the fan, so that the fan shakes its head while blowing air to change the blowing position.

[0003] Taking the ceiling fan installed on the ceiling as an example, it has two motors, one of which is a fan motor for driving the fan blades to rotate at high speed, and the other motor is a shaking motor for driving the fan head (including the fan blades and the fan motor) to shake. For this reason, the fan motor needs to be connected with a wire to power it. In the existing technology, one end of the wire is connected to the fan motor and the other end of the wire is connected to the mains, so that one end of the wire is in a stationary state and the other end shakes its head cyclically with the fan head. This can easily cause the wire to be entangled on other components and be pulled during the cyclic movement of the fan head. Moreover, one end of the wire will always be pulled during the cyclic movement of the fan head, and the pulling force changes cyclically. After long-term use, it is easy to cause the wire to fatigue and break under the repeated action of the pulling force, or the welding point between the wire and the fan motor will become loose, causing the fan to malfunction.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve and optimize the existing fan structure. Utility Model Content

In this embodiment, the cover plate 2 is fixed to the shell 1 by a number of screws; an oscillating motor 3 is fixed to the top of the cover plate 2 by screws; an oscillating member 4, which has a base 41 and a rotating shaft 42 arranged on the base 41, and the rotating shaft 42 is eccentrically arranged relative to the base 41. In this embodiment, the base 41 is roughly circular, and the rotating shaft 42 is integrally formed with the base 41 and is located near the edge of the base 41. A number of ears are provided on the base 41, and the ears are used to fix the following fan motor, the rotating shaft 42 is connected to the oscillating motor 3 and driven by the oscillating motor 3. The rotating speed of the oscillating motor 3 is slow, which drives the rotating shaft 42 to rotate slowly; there are at least two power rings 5, and in this embodiment, three are set. The power ring 5 includes an inner ring 51, an outer ring 52, and a ball 53 located between the inner ring 51 and the outer ring 52. There are multiple balls 53 between the inner ring 51 and the outer ring 52. The inner ring 51 can rotate relative to the outer ring 52 through the ball 53. The inner ring 51 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 42 of the shaking member 4, and the outer ring 52 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 2. When the shaking motor 3 is working, the inner ring 51 is linked with the rotating shaft 42, and the outer ring 52 remains stationary; the fan motor 6 is fixed to the base 4 of the shaking member 4. 1, specifically connected to the lug of the base 41 by screws, the fan motor 6 is provided with a drive shaft 61, which is used to connect the fan blades to drive the fan blades to rotate at high speed to supply air; it also includes a mains power conductor 7, at least two, in this embodiment, set to three, respectively, the positive and negative poles and the ground wire (3-phase electricity), it can be understood that the mains power conductor 7 does not require direct connection to the high-voltage mains. In this embodiment, the fan motor is a low-voltage motor, so the mains power conductor 7 is connected to the transformer and frequency converter. Each mains power conductor 7 is correspondingly connected to the outer ring 52 of the power ring 5, and the mains power conductor 7 can be welded to the outer ring 52; it also includes a motor conductor 8, at least two, in this embodiment, set to three, each motor conductor 8 is correspondingly connected to the inner ring 51 of the power ring 5, specifically can be welded, the motor conductor 8 is connected to the fan motor 6, supplies power to the fan motor 6, and the motor conductor 8 is electrically connected to the mains power conductor 7 through the inner ring 51, the ball 53, and the outer ring 52.

[0043] The working principle of the embodiment of the utility model is as follows: when the fan starts the shaking function, the shaking motor 3 works, driving the rotating shaft 42 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 42 drives the fan motor 6 to rotate through the base 41 to realize the shaking function. While the fan motor 6 is rotating, the motor wire 8 connected thereto and the inner ring 51 connected to the motor wire 8 all move synchronously with the fan motor 6, that is, the motor wire 8 and the fan motor 6 remain synchronous and relatively still, so that the motor wire 8 will not be pulled or entangled, and the motor wire 8 is electrically connected to the mains wire 7 through the inner ring 51, the ball 53 and the outer ring 52. No matter where the shaking piece 4 moves to, the motor wire 8 and the mains wire 7 always maintain a good electrical connection, eliminating the problem of In the prior art, the structure of directly connecting the motor wire to the mains power cleverly divides the wire supplying power to the fan motor 6 into two parts: the mains wire 7 and the motor wire 8. The two are then electrically connected through a connecting ring 5 having an inner ring 51, a ball 53 and an outer ring 52, which greatly improves the service life of the motor wire. In addition, the inner ring 51 and the outer ring 52 of the connecting ring 5 are connected by the ball 53, the mains wire 7 is directly connected to the outer ring 52, and the motor wire 8 is directly connected to the inner ring 51, so that there is wear between the mains wire 7 and the motor wire 8 only between the inner ring 51 and the outer ring 52, and the presence of the ball makes the wear extremely small, thereby ensuring the reliability and durability of the electrical connection of the fan drive assembly.

[0044] See Figure 11 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a first wire groove 421 is provided on the rotating shaft 42, and the first wire groove 421 extends along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 42. A plurality of second wire grooves 422 are further provided on the rotating shaft 42, which are set to three in this embodiment. The second wire groove 422 is connected to the first wire groove 421, and the second wire groove 422 extends along the circumference of the rotating shaft 42. Three motor wires 8 are arranged together in the first wire groove 421, and each motor wire 8 extends to be welded to the inner ring 51 through a second wire groove 422. As a result, the welding points of the three motor wires 8 and the corresponding inner ring 51 are cleverly isolated to avoid short circuits between the motor wires 8 due to their close distance. At the same time, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the motor wire 8 can pass through the inner side of the inner ring 51 and be easily welded to the inner ring.

[0045] See Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the cover plate 2 includes a first cover plate 21 and a second cover plate 22, and a half shell 23 is respectively provided on the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22, and the two half shells 23 enclose a clamping cavity, and the power connection ring 5 is arranged in the clamping cavity 24 and is clamped and fixed by the half shell 23. The half shell 23 and the cover plate are integrally formed. After the two half shells 23 are closed, they are locked by bolts, thereby making it easy to install the power connection ring 5 on the cover plate 2, and the power connection ring 5 can be firmly and reliably clamped and fixed by the locking bolts, effectively preventing the outer ring 52 from loosening or being driven by the rotating inner ring 51, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection between the outer ring 52 and the mains conductor 7. It can be understood that an avoidance hole is provided on the half shell 23 to allow the mains conductor 7 to pass through the avoidance hole and be welded to the outer ring 52. In some embodiments of the present invention, a clamping groove 25 is provided on the cavity wall of the clamping cavity 24, and the number of the clamping grooves 25 corresponds to the number of the connecting rings 5. The outer ring 52 of the connecting ring 5 is fixed in the clamping groove 25, and the clamping groove 25 simultaneously limits the axial and radial directions of the connecting ring 5 to better improve the reliability of the connecting ring 5 after installation.

[0046] See Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a groove 11 is provided at the lower end of the shell 1, and a through hole is provided on the bottom wall of the groove 11. A ball bearing sleeve 9 is provided in the groove 11, and the lower part of the ball bearing sleeve 9 is located in the through hole. A pressure plate 10 is also included, and the pressure plate 10 is fixed on the shell 1, specifically by screws. A rotating cavity is formed between the pressure plate 10 and the groove 11, and the ball bearing sleeve 9 is located in the rotating cavity. The drive shaft 61 of the fan motor 6 passes through the ball bearing sleeve 9 and then extends out of the shell 1, and a bearing 91 is provided between the drive shaft 61 and the ball bearing sleeve 9. The working principle is as follows: the upper end of the fan motor 6 is connected to the base 41 of the oscillating member 4. Since the base 41 is eccentric relative to the rotating shaft 42, the fan motor 6 rotates around the rotating shaft 42. The lower end of the fan motor 6 is connected to the ball bearing sleeve 9 through the drive shaft 61, so that the fan motor 6 rotates around the rotating shaft 42 with the ball bearing sleeve 9 as the fulcrum. The ball bearing sleeve 9 rotates up and down in the rotating cavity as the drive shaft 61 swings circumferentially, causing the fan blades connected to the bottom end of the drive shaft 61 to oscillate. The provision of structures such as the ball bearing sleeve 9 reduces friction and helps to increase the service life of the drive assembly.

[0047] See Figure 3 as well as Figures 8-10As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a limiting post 92 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the ball bearing sleeve 9, and a limiting groove 101 is provided on the side of the pressure plate 10 close to the rotating chamber. The limiting post 92 is located in the limiting groove 101 to limit the lateral rotation of the ball bearing sleeve 9 around the drive shaft, that is, the ball bearing sleeve 9 can only rotate up and down in the rotating chamber, but not horizontally, to ensure that the fan blade connected to the end of the drive shaft 61 has a complete and accurate 360° shaking. In some embodiments of the present invention, the number of groups of the limiting posts 92 and the limiting grooves 101 is 4, and the limiting posts 92 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the outer peripheral wall of the ball bearing sleeve 9.
