The bottom end of the protruding part 123 has an opening 125 at the center of the corresponding first annular groove 124. The outer casing 12 is made of plastic. The permanent magnet ring 11 is press-fitted into the outer casing 12 through the opening 121 at the top of the outer casing 12, thus fixing the permanent magnet ring 11 to the outer casing 12. The stator core 22 passes through the permanent magnet ring 11. The shaft 21 passes through the central hole 221 of the outer casing 12 and exits the outer casing 12. A first bearing 4 is provided between the shaft 21 and the outer casing 12. The first bearing 4 is pressed into the first annular groove 124 to fix the outer ring of the first bearing 4 to the outer casing 12.

There are three fan blades 3, and each fan blade 3 includes a fan blade body 31 and a bent rod 32 integrally provided at the rear end of the fan blade body 31. 2. The complete angle is 90°. A hinge shaft 33 is integrally provided at the bottom end of the bent rod 32. The two ends of the hinge shaft 33 protrude from the opposite sides of the bent rod 32. Each first receiving groove 1311 corresponds to the installation of one fan blade 3. The hinge shaft 33 of the fan blade 3 is placed in the first receiving groove 1311. The bottom surface of the fan blade mounting cover 132 is recessed with a second receiving groove 1321. The number of second receiving grooves 1321 is equal to the number of first receiving grooves 1311. The fan blade mounting cover 132 is fixed to the top of the shell end cover 131 by bolts. Each end cap 131 has a clearance hole 1312 in the middle for the shaft 21 to pass through. The bottom surface of the end cap 131 also has a second annular groove 1313 recessed at the position corresponding to the clearance hole 1312. A second bearing 5 is provided between the shaft 21 and the end cap 131. The second bearing 5 is press-fitted into the second annular groove 1313, and its outer ring is fixed to the end cap 131. The shaft 21 is press-fitted into the inner hole of the second bearing 5 and fixed to its inner ring. Each second receiving groove 1321 has a first receiving groove 1311 corresponding to it. Each set of first... Both the receiving groove 1311 and the second receiving groove 1321 form a cavity for the hinge shaft 33 to rotate and restrict the movement and deviation of the hinge shaft 33. The fan blade mounting cover 132 has a slot 1322 in the middle of each second receiving groove 1321 around its periphery. The slot 1322 is used to avoid the bent rod 32. The fan blade 3 can swing up and down along the length of the shaft 21 with the hinge shaft 33 rotating in the cavity. The bent rod 32 of the fan blade 3 abuts against the bottom wall of the slot 1322 to make the fan blade 3 perpendicular to the shaft 21.

[0023] The implementation principle of the umbrella motor fan of this application is as follows: the shaft 21 serves as the umbrella shaft, and is connected to an external power supply device through the lead wire 25. The circuit control board 24 controls the coil 23 to be energized, so that the stator core 22 cooperates with the permanent magnet ring 11, causing the permanent magnet ring 11 to drive the outer shell 12 and the top cover assembly 13 to rotate. Through the rotation of the outer shell 12 and the top cover assembly 13, the fan blades 3 open from the hanging state through centrifugal force, are perpendicular to the shaft 21, and rotate to generate airflow. The airflow blows towards the people under the umbrella, achieving a cooling effect. In this application, the umbrella shaft is placed in the middle of the fan and is integrated with the fan. The fan blades 3 are hinged to the top cover assembly 13, which allows for folding and hanging down when not in motion, effectively reducing the overall volume of the umbrella when the canopy is closed, making it easy to carry. At the same time, the fan blades 3 are less likely to collide with the umbrella shaft when rotating, eliminating safety hazards. The airflow can blow vertically downwards towards the people under the umbrella, significantly improving the utilization efficiency of wind power and the cooling effect.
