A ceiling fan includes a support, a motor portion, a blade portion, control section, illumination portion, and case. Illumination portion includes lower illumination cover, upper illumination cover, and LED substrate portion. Heat dissipation plates are provided on a side of upper illumination cover.

Ceiling fan

A ceiling fan includes a suspending unit and a ceiling fan body. The ceiling fan body includes a shaft; a motor; a plurality of blades; an upper body cover having a first opening, at a central part, for passing the shaft therethrough, and a second opening outside the first opening; and a lower body cover. The upper body cover rotates with the blades and has a first wall standing vertically between the first opening and the second opening.

A ceiling fan includes a suspension part, a pipe, and a main body, the main body has a coupling part, an upper portion of the coupling part has a coupling hole, a lower portion of the pipe has a pipe hole, the coupling part is inserted into the pipe, a bolt inserted into the coupling hole and the pipe hole, and a nut. The bolt includes a threaded portion and a head having a curved surface that conforms to the shape of the outer surface of the pipe. The curved surface has a head direction guide part that guides the direction of the curved surface such that the curved surface is fixed in contact with the outer surface with the nut.

A ceiling fan includes a suspending part fixed to a ceiling and a ceiling fan body suspended via the suspending part. The ceiling fan body has a plurality of horizontally-provided blades, a motor that rotates the blades, a shaft protruding from an upper side of the motor, and a joint part that is fixed to an upper side of the shaft and is connected to the suspending part. The joint part is detachable from the suspending part and is provided with a suspension detecting part extending from the joint part to the suspending part. The suspension detecting part detecting an energized state between the suspending part and the joint part.

Ceiling fan with suspension detection

A ceiling fan includes a motor which rotates a plurality of blades, a shaft projecting from the motor, a pipe connected to an upper end of the shaft and which hangs from a ceiling surface, and a connecting rod for connecting the pipe and the shaft with each other via through holes formed in the pipe and the shaft, respectively. The ceiling fan also includes a displacement-correspondence tool which is displaced or which detects a displacement amount in correspondence with a relative positional displacement amount between the shaft and the pipe, and a power source control tool which controls energization to the motor in accordance with the displacement of the displacement-correspondence tool or the detected displacement amount.

A ceiling fan includes a motor for rotating multiple blades. This motor includes a hollow shaft that is disposed upright on the center of a disc-like stator, and a rotor around an outer periphery of the stator. The rotor integrally rotates with the blades. This motor further includes a cylindrical bearing housing, and a pair of ball bearings including an upper ball bearing and a lower ball bearing housed in this bearing housing. This bearing housing has a base in its center. The upper ball bearing is disposed over the base, and the lower ball bearing is disposed under the base in this bearing housing. Both bearings are fixed onto the hollow shaft.
