A system for controlling thermal comfort in a space is provided with a variable mode of operation. The system may include a conditioner for conditioning air in the space, and a sensor for measuring a temperature in the space. A controller is provided for controlling the conditioner based on the temperature sensed by the sensor, and a fan for circulating air within the space is regulated based on the temperature sensed by the sensor. A related system for controlling a fan based on height is also provided, as is a system and method for easily and efficiently determining the height of a fan using a simple camera, such as one on a “smart” phone. A further aspect pertains to a controller, such as for example a portable handheld device, having a user interface adapted for suggesting an increase in a set point temperature of a thermostat based on the selected speed of the fan.

A ceiling fan is designed with enhanced structural strength and prolonged service life. The ceiling fan includes a stator, a loading plate, a rotor and a plurality of blades is disclosed. The stator includes a shaft. The loading plate includes a sleeve and a radial extending portion. The radial extending portion radially extends outwards in radial directions of the shaft. The sleeve receives a bearing coupled with an outer periphery of the shaft. The rotor includes a hub coupled with the loading plate. The plurality of blades is coupled with the radial extending portion.

An air moving device according to the present disclosure can include a housing and an installation hub. The housing can be connected to the installation hub via one or more adjustable supports. An impeller can be installed at least partially in the housing and configured to direct air out of the housing. In some embodiments, the adjustable supports can be adjusted to move the housing with respect to the installation hub. For example, the adjustable supports can be configured to modify the tilt of the housing and/or the overall distance between the housing and the installation hub. The installation hub can be installed on a ceiling, wall, or other mounting surface. Adjustment of the adjustable supports can permit vertical alignment of the air moving device housing, even when the installation hub is mounted to a slanted or sloped (e.g., non-horizontal) ceiling or wall.

An electric ceiling fan that is suitable for safe operation in outdoor conditions and is capable of being subjected to high pressure washing without damage.

A mounting base of a ceiling fan has a mounting disc, a fitting sleeve, and a positioning unit. The mounting disc has a through hole. The fitting sleeve is mounted in the through hole and has a hanging block located on an end of the fitting sleeve. The fitting sleeve is hung on the mounting disc via the hanging block. An accommodating space is formed through the fitting sleeve and is adapted to accommodate a hanging rod. The positioning unit is mounted in the accommodating space and is capable of engaging with the hanging rod. The positioning unit has a bending edge. The positioning unit is hung on the fitting sleeve via the bending edge. The mounting base has a simplified assembling process and a great stability in mounting structure.

A ceiling mounted fan or ceiling fan includes a body defining an interior passage having an inlet and an outlet provided on the body. The inlet, outlet, and interior passage can be annular. An impeller mounted is mounted within the interior passage and driven by a motor mounted within the body to draw a volume of air through the interior passage from the inlet to the outlet. The impeller blades include a set of extensions extending from the tip.

An air moving device includes an outer casing comprising an outer diameter, an inner portion defining a flow path, an inlet portion defining an inlet cross-sectional area, and an opposing outlet portion defining an outlet cross-sectional area. A motor assembly is disposed within the outer casing, and a hub and blade assembly is secured to a shaft on the motor assembly. The air moving device further includes a de-swirl vane package. The package includes a plurality of de-swirl vanes disposed in the flow path. The blades are characterized by one or more resonant frequencies, and a potential excitation source of the blade resonant frequencies is a flow path obstruction comprising a plurality of objects substantially equally spaced about the circumference of the flow path. The flow path obstruction is characterized by a periodic frequency. The periodic frequency differs from the blade resonant frequencies by a safety margin of at least 20%.

A long-distance speed control system for a brushless DC motor of a fan is provided. The long-distance speed control system includes a switch connected with a mains power supply, a switch circuit, a voltage detection module, a power cord, a processing unit, and a drive unit, which can control the multi-stage rotational speed of the motor. In the field of brushless DC motors for fans, there is no need to use analog-to-digital conversion chips between the mains power supply and the processor, having the advantages of low cost, environmental protection, and reduction of waste of earth resources. Besides, the switch, the switch circuit and the power cord can withstand the mains power supply, having the advantages of less signal attenuation and long-distance transmission.

A ceiling fan having double-layer blades includes a motor unit, a blade frame unit, a first blade unit, and a second blade unit. The blade frame unit has a blade frame body. The first blade unit includes a plurality of first blades. The second blade unit includes a plurality of second blades. The first blades and the second blades surround the outside of the blade frame body, so that there is no need for the motor unit to provide a motor housing for connecting the first blades and the second blades, thereby saving costs and installation costs. With the arrangement of the first blades and the second blades, the ceiling fan can increase the current of air for cooling.

A quick buckle structure of a fan blade of a ceiling fan comprises a base fixed on a rotor of a ceiling fan motor, wherein the base is provided with a bottom wall and a front wall, the front wall is provided with an insertion opening, the bottom wall is provided with a guide rail part adjacent to the insertion opening, and the bottom wall is provided with a fixing frame located above the guide rail part. The fan blade is inserted into the insertion opening with a tongue part, wherein the tongue part extends along the guide rail part. The tongue part is provided with a base area located behind the fixing frame, a stop block is integrally erected on the base area, and the stop block abuts against the fixing frame so that the fan blade cannot exit from the insertion port.
