AI Technical Summary
Existing ceiling fan systems fail to effectively distribute warm air near the ceiling to the walls, leading to reduced room temperature and potential condensation due to cooler wall surfaces.
A cover plate for ceiling fans featuring a base plate with radially arranged flow guide plates and optional fixed guide plates, coated with a photocatalyst, enhances air circulation and temperature distribution by directing warm air towards walls.
Improves air circulation and raises wall surface temperature, enhancing thermal comfort and preventing condensation by efficiently distributing warm air throughout the room.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a cover plate that can be attached to a ceiling fan, and more particularly to a cover plate that enhances the air circulation effect of a ceiling fan and raises the temperature of a wall surface in a room. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, the ceiling fan lighting device described in the following Patent Document 1 is a ceiling fan device that is attached to an indoor ceiling and is a rotating fan that is arranged radially from the center and is used to move the indoor air up and down or stir it, and as described above, titanium oxide is coated or attached to the surface of the fan for the purpose of deodorizing the air and purifying it by decomposing organic compounds (see claim 1 of the same document 1), and it is proposed to form a titanium oxide coating surface layer with photocatalytic effect on the surface of the ceiling fan.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3080670 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Indoor temperatures are affected by the surface temperatures of the walls, window glass, and window frames. Normally, the temperature of the indoor air is higher than the surface temperature of the walls, etc., but if the surface temperature of the exterior walls or window glass, etc., becomes too low, the air in contact with those areas will cool down, causing the overall temperature of the room to drop. The cooled air moves from top to bottom, which can cause condensation. For this reason, it is important to raise the temperature of the walls inside the room. In this regard, the ceiling fan lighting device described in Patent Document 1 above circulates air using a ceiling fan, but the warm air near the ceiling is not sufficiently sent to the walls of the room, making it impossible to raise the temperature of the walls, which is a problem that needs to be solved.
[0005] Therefore, the object of the present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and is to provide a cover plate that can be attached to a ceiling fan, which can enhance the air circulation effect of the ceiling fan and raise the temperature of the wall surface inside the room. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The invention described in claim 2 is a cover plate that can be attached to the ceiling fan described in claim 1, characterized in that a photocatalyst 32 is sprayed onto the surfaces of the base plate 2 and the flow guide plate 51.
[0008] The invention described in claim 3 is a cover plate that can be attached to the ceiling fan described in claim 1, characterized in that the base plate body 2 further comprises a plurality of fixed flow guide plates 52 that also serve the function of fixing the cover plate 1 to the ceiling 10, and the fixed flow guide plates 52 are arranged in a cross shape and are formed thicker than the flow guide plates 51.
[0009] The invention described in claim 4 is a cover plate that can be attached to the ceiling fan described in claim 3, characterized in that a photocatalyst 32 is sprayed onto the surfaces of the base plate 2, the flow guide plate 51, and the fixed flow guide plate 52.

[Effects of the Invention]
[0011] The cover plate that can be attached to the ceiling fan of the present invention can improve the air circulation effect and raise the temperature of the wall surface inside the room. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0013] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A preferred embodiment of a cover plate that can be attached to a ceiling fan of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.
[0014] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the cover plate 1 is composed of a base plate 2 made of a plasterboard base with a cross-finish that is sized to cover the desired area of the ceiling 11. A circular mounting hole 4 is provided in the center of the base plate 2 for inserting the ceiling fan 3.
[0015] On the upper surface of the base plate 2, flow guide plates 51 are arranged radially from an outer region K slightly spaced from the outer periphery 40 of the mounting hole 4 towards the outer edge 20 of the base plate 2. Some of the flow guide plates 51 may be arranged at different distances from the center of the mounting hole 4. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the flow guide plates 51 at the four corners are arranged farther from the center of the mounting hole 4 than the other flow guide plates 51.
[0016] For example, a preferred embodiment is one in which fixed flow guide plates 52, which also serve to fix the cover plate 1 to the ceiling 11, are arranged in a cross shape. The fixed flow guide plate 52 is separate from the flow guide plate 51, but in addition to its fixing function, it has the same rectifying effect as the flow guide plate 51. The fixed flow guide plate 52 is fixed to the ceiling 11 with adhesive, bolts, etc., and the cover plate 1 can be fixed to the ceiling 11. The fixed flow guide plate 52 can be formed to be thicker than the flow guide plate 51, for example. The flow guide plate 51 and the fixed flow guide plate 52 are preferably rectangular parallelepipeds.
[0017] Therefore, the action of the flow guide plate 51 and the fixed flow guide plate 52 enhances the air circulation effect in the room 10, and it is possible to raise the temperature of the wall surfaces 12 of the room 10 in addition to the temperature of the ceiling 11. By raising the temperature of the wall surfaces 12, it is possible to raise the temperature that people in the room 10 feel.
[0018] In Fig. 3, the width of the base plate 2 occupies about half the width of the ceiling 11, but this is not limited to this. For example, in order to adjust the wall surface temperature more efficiently, it may be formed to cover almost the entire width of the ceiling 11, as shown in Fig. 4. When the base plate 2 covers almost the entire width of the ceiling 11, the downward air circulation port is closer to the wall surface 12, and as shown by the air flow arrows in Fig. 4, warm air near the ceiling 11 is more likely to be directly transmitted to the wall surfaces 12 on all four sides. Conversely, when lowering the wall surface temperature, the air is more likely to be efficiently transmitted to the wall surfaces 12 and cooled.
[0019] Any commercially available ceiling fan can be used as the ceiling fan 3. The ceiling fan 3 may have a lighting function, such as an LED light 31. The ceiling fan 3 shown in FIG. 4 has an LED light 31 on its underside, which emits light that irradiates the base plate 2, the air guide plate 51, and the fixed air guide plate 52.
[0020] An embodiment in which photocatalyst 32 is sprayed onto the surfaces of the above-mentioned base plate 2, flow guide plate 51, and fixed flow guide plate 52 is preferably adopted. The photocatalyst's catalytic function can be exerted by irradiating light from the LED lighting 31 onto the base plate 2, flow guide plate 51, and fixed flow guide plate 52. Then, air circulation by the ceiling fan 3 can keep the air throughout the room clean.
[0021] While the embodiments have been described above with reference to the drawings, it should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples and includes design modifications and application variations that would normally be made by a person skilled in the art, provided that they do not deviate from the technical concept of the present invention. For example, the shape, number, and arrangement of the flow guide plate 51 and the fixed flow guide plate 52 may be modified as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
