DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The present disclosure is described below in further detail in combination with accompanying drawings.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, the present disclosure provides a ceiling fan, including a shell 1, wherein an electric machine 2 is installed in the shell 1, the electric machine 2 is connected with at least three connecting pieces 3, and each of the connecting pieces 3 is detachably connected with a ceiling fan blade 4, the ceiling fan blade 4 includes an inner core layer 41 made of a carbon-fiber material, an outside of the inner core layer 41 is connected with a blade main body layer 42 made of a molding pulp material, both upper and lower ends of the blade main body layer 42 are provided with a dampproof covering layer 43, and an antistatic covering layer 44 is further arranged on an upper side of the blade main body layer 42, the blade main body layer 42 is an aerofoil type blade, and the blade main body layer 42 includes an upper shell 421 and a lower shell 422 in clamping connection with the upper shell 421, the upper shell 421 and the lower shell 422 are both hollow structures and a honeycomb structure 401 is arranged on the hollow portion of both the upper shell 421 and the lower shell 422, a gap is formed between connecting surfaces of the upper shell 421 and the lower shell 422, a sealing coating 423 is arranged in the gap, and a connecting spray coating 45 is sprayed on peripheral edges of the upper shell 421 and the lower shell 422.

[0038] The ceiling fan blade 4 of the ceiling fan provided in the present disclosure is provided with the inner core layer 41. Since the inner core layer 41 is a sheet made of a carbon-fiber material, two sides of the inner core layer 41 are provided with the upper shell 421 and the lower shell 422 made of a molding pulp material, both the upper shell 421 and the lower shell 422 are hollow structures, and a honeycomb structure 401 is arranged on the hollow portion, the weight of the whole ceiling fan blade 4 can be reduced. In addition, the honeycomb structure 401 is evenly distributed; therefore, the ceiling fan blade will have a more balanced rotation, without the occurrence of up-down offset and jitter. The inner core layer 41 is connected to the upper shell 421 and the lower shell 422 using a strong glue, and the upper shell 421 is connected to the lower shell 422 using a strong glue too, which achieves secure fixing. The dampproof covering layer 43 is stuck on surfaces of both the upper shell 421 and the lower shell 422, to resist water and moisture. In addition, the antistatic covering layer 44 is stuck on the surface of the upper shell 421, which can prevent the ceiling fan blade 4 being stained with dust; meanwhile, the connecting spray coating 45 also employs a glue to fasten the upper shell 421 and the lower shell 422. If the ceiling fan blade 4 is damaged, since the inner core layer 41 is made of a carbon-fiber material and has a high compression resistance, the inner core layer 41 can still be recycled and reused; furthermore, since the blade main body layer 42 is made of a molding pulp material, it can still be recycled and reused even if damaged, which is more environmentally friendly. The whole ceiling fan to which the ceiling fan blade 4 is connected has a lighter weight. It is convenient for a user to hang the ceiling fan. The antistatic covering layer is a paster coated with at least one of antistatic agent TM, octadecyl diethanolamine, PEG, methyl acrylate, polyethylene oxide and polyether ester amide. The dampproof covering layer 43 is one of a triamine polyester surface layer, a PVC wood grain veneer layer and a water transfer printing surface layer. The glue is PUR hot melt adhesive. The connecting spray coating 45 is RTV paint with waterproof and dampproof natures. The molding pulp is a pulp used for manufacturing pulp molded products, for example, the pulp with several additives mentioned in the paper “Research on strength properties of pulp molded products based on pulp additives” with the issue number of CNKI: SUN: SYHH.0.2020-01-033.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 4, the lower shell 422 includes a lower connection plate 4221, the lower connection plate 4221 is provided with a connecting protrusion 4222 and the lower connection plate 4221 is further provided with a plurality of protruded ribs 4223, the upper shell 421 includes an upper connection plate 4211, the upper connection plate 4211 is provided with a protrusion part 4212 and the protrusion part 4212 defines a fixing clamping groove 4213 capable of being fixed onto the rib 4223 in a clamping manner, the connecting protrusion 4222 and the protrusion part 4212 form the gap when the lower shell 422 and the upper connection plate 4211 are in clamping connection. The rib 4223 and the fixing clamping groove 4213 not only are used for distinguishing the lower shell 422 from the upper shell 421, but also are matched and fixed to each other to enhance the overall support strength and stress strength of the blade main body layer 42.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 6, the upper shell 421 and the lower shell 422 both include a tabulate fixing part 51, a tail edge of the fixing part 51 is connected with a blade part 52, and between the fixing part 51 and the blade part 52 is arranged a transition part 53 allowing an oblique arrangement of the blade part 52 relative to the horizontal plane. The wind blown by the blade part 52 towards the underneath of the ceiling fan is in some angle, thus simulating the natural wind. Thus, the wind blown by the ceiling fan is softer and of wider range.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 6, the transition part 53 is twisted from head to tail, such that one side of the blade part 52 is protruded upwards and the other side is protruded downwards, which makes the blade part 52 inclined towards a rotating direction. The transition part 53 causes an inclined angle α in a range of 15-30 degrees between the blade part 52 and the horizontal plane. The blade main body layer 42 is a large-area aerofoil type blade, and when the inclined angle α between the blade part 52 and the horizontal plane is set to be between 15 and 30 degrees, the air flow can be cut to be more delicate and soft and can be cut evenly and intensively, which better restores the softness and tenderness of the natural wind, and better suits the comfortable wind receiving point of the human body. Moreover, the ultra-far air supply distance of the blade main body layer 42 makes the cooling air from an air conditioner uniformly distributed in a room.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 5, an upper surface of the upper shell 421 near a tail part is provided with a protrusion 4214, one side of the protrusion 4214 presents a cambered surface, and one side of the protrusion 4214 presents a vertical surface. The protrusion 4214 has the cambered surface protruded upwards, which cuts the air flow more smoothly, and then reduces the hindrance suffered by the tail part and reduces the noise the ceiling fan blade 4 causes when cutting the air flow.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 7, the connecting piece 3 is a connecting sheet, one end of the connecting sheet is fixed to the electric machine 2, and between the other end of the connecting sheet and the ceiling fan blade 4 is arranged a quick installation structure 6 capable of connecting them. The quick installation structure 6 is provided for a user to perform quick installation.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the connecting piece 3 defines a plurality of connecting holes 31, the ceiling fan blade 4 defines mounting holes 402 corresponding to the positions of the plurality of connecting holes 31, the quick installation structure 6 includes a connecting pin 61 which can penetrate through the connecting piece 3 and the ceiling fan blade 4 at the same time, and the connecting pin 61 is connected with a clamping lock element 62 which, when clamped on the connecting pin 61, can press against the connecting pin 61 and the surface of the ceiling fan blade 4 at the same time so as to fasten the ceiling fan blade 4 and the connecting piece 3.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, a rubber ring 403 is installed inside the mounting hole 402, the rubber ring 403 defines in the middle a channel 4031 allowing the connecting pin 61 to pass through, both ends of the rubber ring 403 are provided with a protruded ring 4032, between the two protruded rings 4032 is defined a meshing clamping groove 4033 which can fit the upper and lower surfaces of the ceiling fan blade 4 and can be meshed with the ceiling fan blade 4, the clamping lock element 62 is a circular clamping lock sheet, the clamping lock sheet defines an opening clamping groove 621 allowing the connecting pin 61 to be clamped in, the clamping lock sheet at two ends of the opening clamping groove 621 is provided with an extension part 622 extending outwards, the extension part 622 defines a through hole 6221 allowing a quick installation tool to be inserted into, the opening of the opening clamping groove 621 can be expanded for the connecting pin 61 to be clamped in when a quick installation tool is inserted into the through hole 6221 and a force is applied, a head part of the connecting pin 61 presents an umbrella shape, the connecting pin 61 further defines a clamping lock groove 611 allowing the clamping lock element 62 to be clamped in, a diameter of the connecting pin 61 at the clamping lock groove 611 is less than other portions, and when the clamping lock sheet is clamped in the clamping lock groove 611, upper and lower ends of the clamping lock sheet press against the rubber ring 403 and the inner wall of the connecting pin 61 respectively to as to fasten the connecting piece 3 and the ceiling fan blade 4. The connecting piece 3 is a fan blade pin. When connect the fan blade pin to the ceiling fan blade 4, first install the rubber ring 403 in the mounting hole 402 of the ceiling fan blade 4, such that the rubber ring 403 can be meshed with the side wall of the mounting hole 402, then align the ceiling fan blade 4 to the connecting hole 31 on the connecting piece 3, now the channel 4031 on the rubber ring 403 is aligned to the connecting hole 31, next make the connecting pin 61 pass through the connecting hole 31 and the channel 4031 in turn and make the clamping lock groove 611 exposed to one side of the ceiling fan blade 4, and insert a circlip plier into the through hole 6221 on the extension part 622 and press the circlip plier, now the circlip plier expands the groove opening of the opening clamping groove 621 of the clamping lock element 62, then clamp the clamping lock element 62 in the clamping lock groove 611 of the connecting pin 61 and finally loosen the hand. Since the clamping lock element 62 has a deformation capability, the clamping lock element 62 can be meshed on the connecting pin 61 through the circumferential surface of the opening clamping groove 621 when reset, now the upper and lower ends of the clamping lock element 62 press against the rubber ring 403 and the inner wall of the connecting pin 61 respectively to as to fasten the connecting piece 3 and the ceiling fan blade 4.
