DETAILED DESCRIPTION



[0021] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention are described clearly and completely below in combination with specific embodiments of the present invention and corresponding accompanying drawings. Apparently, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] Technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawings.

[0023] An embodiment of the present invention discloses a fan lamp, which includes a turntable 1, an elastic restoring assembly 2 and fan blades 3, the fan blades 3 are fixed at the turntable 1 through the elastic restoring assembly 2, and the turntable 1 is used to drive the elastic restoring assembly 2 and the fan blades 3 to rotate and provide a centrifugal force for the stretching of the fan blades 3. In the present embodiment, the elastic restoring assembly 2 includes an upper cover 20, a lower cover 22 and an elastic member 24, and two ends of the elastic member 24 are connected with the upper cover 20 and the lower cover 22 respectively. In the present embodiment, the elastic member 24 may be a spring, may also be elastic rubber, etc., can be deformed elastically along with the rotation of the upper cover 20 relative to the lower cover 22, and can make the upper cover and lower cover rotate relative to each other in an opposite direction through the elastic recovery.

[0024] As illustrated by Fig. 1, the fan blades 3 are connected with the upper cover 20, and the turntable 20 is connected with the lower cover 22, so that, upon the fan blades 3 being away from the turntable 20 due to the centrifugal force, the fan blades 3 drive the upper cover 20 to rotate relative to the lower cover 22, and make the elastic member 24 deformed elastically; and upon the centrifugal force disappearing, the elastic member 24 drives the fan blades 3 to rotate back to an original position through the elastic recovery. In the present embodiment, the upper cover 20 includes a connecting member 200, the lower cover 22 has a connection mating member 220, and the upper cover 20 and the lower cover 22 are both arranged in a circular shape with the same circumferential contour; the connecting member 200 and the mating member 220 may be concentric annular fasteners as illustrated by Fig. 1, and may also be buckles or combinations of plugs and jacks, as long as the upper cover 20 and the lower cover 22 can be fastened with each other and can rotate freely relative to each other. By adopting the structure, the rotation requirement can be met, and a closed accommodating space may be formed between the upper cover 20 and the lower cover 22 at the same time. The closed accommodating space is used to accommodate the elastic member 24. In this way, liquid such as lubricating oil arranged on the elastic member 24 may be possibly limited in the closed accommodating space instead of being thrown out under the centrifugal force.

[0025] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the upper cover and the lower cover are used to form a rotatable closed space, the elastic member is received in the closed space, and the fan blades are connected with the turntable through the upper cover and the lower cover, so that the possibility that the lubricating oil is thrown out in the utilization process of the fan can be reduced.

[0026] In order to facilitate the installation of the fan blades 3 and turntable 1 to the elastic restoring assembly 2, in the present embodiment, the upper cover 20 includes a first through hole 202, and the lower cover 22 includes a second through hole 222. As illustrated by Fig. 1, the elastic restoring assembly 2 has a central spindle a, and the elastic restoring assembly 2 is circumferentially symmetric around the central spindle a. In order to make the first through hole 202 and the second through hole 222 and internal structures thereof have small internal stress on the elastic restoring assembly 2, in the present embodiment, the first through hole 202 and the second through hole 222 both adopt the central spindle a as a symmetric axis; and moreover, the first through hole 202 and the second through hole 222 may be matched with each other to form a through cavity 26 running through the elastic restoring assembly 2, as illustrated by Fig. 4. In the present embodiment, the fan blades 3 and the elastic restoring assembly 2 are fixed on the turntable 1 by a connecting assembly 4. As illustrated by Fig. 1, the fan blade 3 includes a base 30 and a blade 32; and the base 30 is connected with the upper cover 20 and includes a third through hole 300 as illustrated by Fig. 1. The turntable 1 has a fastener 10 corresponding to the through cavity 26. The connecting assembly 4 passes through the third through hole 300 and the through cavity 26 in sequence and is connected with the fastener 10, so that the turntable 1, the elastic restoring assembly 2 and the fan blade 3 are fixed in an extension direction of the central spindle a. The connecting assembly 4 may be a bolt assembly, a bolt passes through the through structure, and a nut is arranged in the fastener 10; and the connecting assembly may also be a tenon-and-mortise structure, as long as the turntable 1, the elastic restoring assembly 2 and the fan blade 3 can be fixed in sequence, and the above rotating action is allowed to occur.

[0027] However, the turntable 1, the elastic restoring assembly 2 and the fan blades 3 are fixed by utilizing the above structure, which may easily cause the problem that the upper cover 20 cannot rotate with the fan blade 3 or the lower cover 2 cannot rotate with the turntable 1. In order to avoid the problem, in the present embodiment, the turntable 1 has a lower cover connecting seat 12 corresponding to the lower cover 22; the lower cover connecting seat 12 has an eccentric occlusion member 120 that is arranged eccentrically; the lower cover 22 has a first mating member 224 corresponding to the eccentric occlusion member 120; the eccentric occlusion member 120 may be configured as an eccentric hole on the lower cover connecting seat 12, and the first mating member 224 is arranged as a corresponding convex column, so that, upon the elastic restoring assembly 2 being fixed to the turntable 1 by the connecting assembly 4, the convex column stretches into the hole and prevents the lower cover 22 from rotating circumferentially; and the eccentric occlusion member 120 and the first mating member 224 may also be arranged as a pair of magnets, as long as the rotation of the lower cover 22 with respect to the turntable 1 can be prevented. The base 30 includes a connecting tenon 302; in order to realize a similar effect for preventing the upper cover 20 from rotating relative to the base 30, the connecting tenon 302 has circumferentially-protruding tenon teeth 3020 as illustrated by Fig. 1; the upper cover 20 has a mortise 204 corresponding to the connecting tenon 302; the mortise 204 has tenon grooves 2040 corresponding to the tenon teeth 3020; upon the connecting tenon 302 being inserted into the mortise 204, the tenon teeth 3020 are inserted into the mortise grooves 2040 and matched with the tenon grooves 2040 to prevent the relative rotation of the upper cover 20 and fan blades 32; and in the present embodiment, a component that prevents the relative rotation and corresponds to upper cover 20 or the lower cover 22 is not limited to the above eccentric occlusion member 120, the connecting tenon 302 or the magnet, etc., and may be any component that can prevent the relative rotation, which is not repeated herein.

[0028] To facilitate the manufacturing, the connecting tenon 302 is arranged at the center of the base 30 and adopts the central spindle a as the symmetric axis; and the third through hole 300 runs through the connecting tenon 302, so that the concentric structure is convenient for the manufacturing, and especially the fan blade 3 that is made of a plastic material is easy to demold.

[0029] In order to reduce the internal stress and losses caused by dislocation during the installation, in the present embodiment, as illustrated by Fig. 1, a plurality of tenon teeth 3020 are circumferentially protruded out of the connecting tenon 302, and a circumferential size of at least one tenon tooth 3020 is different from the circumferential sizes of other ones of the tenon teeth 3020, so that during the installation, the connecting tenon 302 can only be inserted into the mortise 204 in a unique preset posture.

[0030] In the present embodiment, in order to facilitate the fan blades 3 to extend out uniformly when rotating, as illustrated by Fig. 1, the circumferential contour of the turntable 1 is arranged in a circular shape, and a plurality of elastic restoring assemblies 2 and corresponding fan blades 3 are uniformly distributed on the periphery of the turntable 1.

[0031] To realize the illuminating function, the fan lamp according to the embodiments of the present invention also has an illuminating module 5, and the fan blades 3 are arranged at an upturned side of the turntable 1; the illuminating module 5 is connected with the turntable 1; and an optical axis b of the illuminating module extends downward, so that, upon the fan lamp being lifted, the fan blades 3 may not block the light emitted from the illuminating module 5.

[0032] In conclusion, according to the embodiments of the present invention, the upper cover and the lower cover are used to form the rotatable closed space, the elastic member is received in the closed space, and the fan blades are connected with the turntable through the upper cover and the lower cover, so that the possibility that the lubricating oil is thrown out in the utilization process of the fan can be reduced.

[0033] The above embodiments of the present invention focus on differences among the various embodiments. As long as different optimization features among the various embodiments are not contradictory, the embodiments can be combined to form a better embodiment, which is not repeated here for brevity.

[0034] The above description is only embodiments of the present invention and is not used to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various changes and variations of the present invention can be made. Any modifications, equivalent substitution and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be contained within the scope of claims of the present invention.
