[0015] The implementation and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The following drawings will disclose several embodiments of this utility model. For clarity, many practical details will be described in the following description. However, it should be understood that these practical details should not be used to limit this utility model. That is, in some embodiments of this utility model, these practical details are not essential. In addition, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and components will be shown in the drawings in a simple schematic manner.

[0017] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0018] Furthermore, in this utility model, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" is for descriptive purposes only and does not specifically refer to any order or sequence, nor is it intended to limit the utility model. They are merely used to distinguish components or operations described with the same technical terms and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only if they are feasible for those skilled in the art. If a combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0019] To further understand the content, features, and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a ceiling fan, including: a body 1, a support 2 and a connecting ring 3. The body 1 is pivotally connected to the connecting ring 3 by a stud 11. The support 2 has two arms 21 on both sides, and each arm 21 has a detachable end cap 22 at its lower end. The arm 21 and the end cap 22 form a groove 23. The connecting ring 3 has a rotating shaft 31 pivotally connected to the groove 23 on both sides. Compared with the prior art, the ceiling fan of this utility model has a detachable end cap 22 at the lower end of the support arm 21, and the lower end of the support arm 21 and the end cap 22 form a groove 23; the connecting ring 3 has a pivot shaft 31 on both sides that is pivotally connected in the groove 23; compared with the prior art, the ceiling fan of this utility model has a detachable end cap 22 at the lower end of the support arm 21, and the support arm 21 and the end cap 22 form a groove 23; the connecting ring 3 has a pivot shaft 31 on both sides that is pivotally connected in the groove 23; by eliminating the connecting piece, the support 2 has a strong overall integrity, which greatly improves the aesthetics of the support; the body 1 is suspended from the support arm 21 of the support 2 by the connecting ring 3, which has the advantages of being firm and reliable and effectively preventing the body 1 from falling off; during installation, it is only necessary to put the pivot shaft 31 of the connecting ring 3 into the groove 23 formed by the support arm 21 and the end cap 22 to realize the limitation of the pivot shaft 31 in the groove 23 and prevent it from falling off, which has the advantages of simple and convenient assembly and high production efficiency.

[0021] Furthermore, the end cap 22 is detachably installed on the lower end of the support arm 21 by screws 24. During installation, the rotating shaft 31 of the connecting ring 3 is placed into the groove 23 formed by the lower end of the support arm 21 and the end cap 22, and then the screws 24 are passed through the through hole of the end cap 22 and tightened into the screw hole at the lower end of the support arm 21. This achieves a fixed connection between the end cap 22 and the support arm 21. After the end cap 22 and the support arm 21 are fixedly connected, the rotating shaft 31 is confined in the groove 23 and will not come out, which has the advantages of simple and convenient assembly.

[0022] Specifically, the connecting ring 3 has sleeves 32 on both sides, and the machine body 1 has threaded holes 12. The stud 11 passes through the sleeves 32 of the connecting ring 3 and is screwed into the threaded hole 12 of the machine body 1 by the threaded part. The stud 11 is pivotally connected to the sleeves 32 by the non-threaded part. The pivotal connection of the stud 11 to the sleeves 32 by the non-threaded part effectively increases the contact area between the stud 11 and the connecting ring 3, making the swing of the machine body 1 relative to the connecting ring 3 more stable and smooth.

[0023] Furthermore, the cross-section of the groove 23 is the same as or similar to the cross-section of the rotating shaft 31. Preferably, the cross-section of the groove 23 is "T" shaped, and the cross-section of the rotating shaft 31 is "T" shaped. The "T" cross-section of the groove 23 and the rotating shaft 31 fit together, which can effectively prevent relative axial movement between the rotating shaft 31 and the groove 23.

[0024] The support 2, connecting ring 3, and end cap 22 are all made of plastic injection molding, which is simple to manufacture and makes them look more harmonious when assembled.

[0025] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
