A ceiling fan and a surrounding device thereof are provided. The ceiling fan includes a main body, a bracket set connected to the main body, and a surrounding device connected to the bracket set. The main body includes a main shaft, a motor, and a plurality of ceiling fan blades. The bracket set includes a plurality of brackets, and each of the brackets has one end connected to the main shaft. The surrounding device is connected to another end of each of the brackets that is relatively far away from the main shaft, and the surrounding device is roundly arranged around and spaced apart from an end of each of the ceiling fan blades that is relatively far away from the motor. The surrounding device includes at least one functional component that is configured to disinfect or sterilize air or to provide lighting.

An integral fan blade includes a fan blade connecting disk and a plurality of fan blade bodies arranged around and equidistantly surrounding the fan blade connecting disk. The fan blade bodies and the fan blade connecting disk are integrally formed. This design allows the wind angle to cover a cone-shaped area from top to bottom. Under the same specifications, the wind force is relatively larger than ordinary conventional fan blades, and the coverage area is also larger, thus bringing better blowing effect and better use effect to users.

Apparatus, methods and instructions for disinfecting air. The apparatus may include, and the methods may involve, a fixture. The fixture may include a germicidal light source. The fixture may include a fan. The fan may circulate air through a volume into which the germicidal light source propagates germicidal light. The light source may be configured to emit, upward from a horizontal plane, a beam that, absent reflection off an environmental object, does not cross the horizontal plane. The apparatus may include a shield that prevents light from the light source from crossing the horizontal plane. The sensor may face upward from the horizontal plane. The sensor may face downward from the horizontal plane.

A fan includes a motor adapted to be rotated about an axis and a hub adapted to be rotated by the motor. The hub may include first and second hub parts adapted to mate to form the hub, the first and second hub parts having a gap therebetween. A plurality of fan blades each includes an end portion located in the gap formed between the first and second hub parts, which may be drawn together by a fastener to capture the blades therebetween. One or more of the fan blades may include a receiver, such as an open-ended groove, for receiving a portion of the hub. An adapter may be configured to remain stationary during use while the hub and fan blades rotate, and a portion of the hub is adapted to be selectively deployed to engage the adapter to prevent rotation of the hub. Related methods are also disclosed.

Systems, devices, and methods for providing switch housing remote controls for ceiling fans. The remote receiver in the ceiling fan housing uses existing capacitors installed in the ceiling fan and shares those capacitors with existing mechanical pull chains for the ceiling fan, which eliminates the need for separate capacitors in the remote receiver.

A fan includes a central hub defining an inlet, a motor positioned within the central hub, and an impeller positioned within the central hub. The impeller is operable to be rotated by the motor to generate air movement. The fan also includes a nozzle defining a channel that receives the airflow from the central hub. The nozzle also defines an outlet in communication with the channel to direct air out of the nozzle. The fan further includes a plurality of conduits connecting the nozzle to the central hub to direct air from the central hub to the channel and through the outlet of the nozzle. The nozzle defines a projection aligned with each conduit to divide air movement through the nozzle.

A fan light has a fan assembly, a connecting assembly, and a lighting disc assembly. The fan assembly has a motor case, a main shaft, and multiple fan blades. The connecting assembly has a connecting unit main body having a main shaft connecting screw hole and multiple lighting disc fixing holes, a screw fixing hole formed on an inner surface of the main shaft connecting screw hole, and a fixing unit. The main shaft is mounted in the main shaft connecting screw hole. The fixing unit is mounted in the screw fixing hole to fix the main shaft. The lighting disc assembly has a lighting disc fixing shell having multiple lighting disc mounting holes. The lighting disc fixing shell is fixed on the top surface of the connecting unit main body via the lighting disc mounting holes and the lighting disc fixing holes.

A fan includes a motor, a rotatable hub coupled to the motor, and at least one fan blade. The at least one fan blade includes a first end coupled to the rotatable hub, a second end, a leading edge, a trailing edge, a passage extending from the first end to the second end, and a winglet attached to the second end. At least one flexible strap extends through the passage of the at least one fan blade. The flexible strap is coupled at a first end to the rotatable hub and coupled at a second end to the winglet, such as to an inner portion thereof within the passage.

Disclosed are a manual and remote control forward and reverse rotation control device and its control method for DC brushless ceiling fans. The control device includes a power supply, a remote control, a manual control switch assembly and a ceiling fan brushless motor which are electrically connected with one another. A gear position signal can be inputted from a remote end to determine and control the forward and reverse rotations of a brushless motor of the ceiling fan. The remote control can be connected externally by an existing control line or a manual controller module without requiring additional wiring, so as to improve the diversity of structural mechanism, increase the versatility of remote operation, and achieve good functionality and variability of applications.

A fan includes a hub, several fan blades, and a motor that is operable to drive the hub. A motor controller is in communication with the motor, and is configured to select the rate of rotation at which the motor drives the hub. The fan is installed in a place having a floor and a ceiling. An upper temperature sensor is positioned near the ceiling. A lower temperature sensor is positioned near the floor. The temperature sensors communicate with the motor controller, which includes a processor configured to compare substantially contemporaneous temperature readings from the upper and lower temperature sensors. The motor controller is thus configured to automatically control the fan motor to minimize the differences between substantially contemporaneous temperature readings from the upper and lower temperature sensors. The fan system may thus substantially destratify air in an environment, to provide a substantially uniform temperature distribution within the environment.
