Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a system and method for adjusting the orientation of a ceiling fan's stationary assembly, comprising a stator and shaft, for better visibility of a screen mounted thereon.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

With evolving usage of display screens in various gadgets like smart phone, watch, vehicle etc., now ceiling fans are the next electrical & electronic products to have similar like digital display screens, printed design casings, and decorative panels, along with various functional & decorative features. Ceiling fans with integrated digital display screens, printed design casings, and decorative panels provide users with valuable information such as temperature, humidity, and fan speed or offer aesthetically pleasing designs. However, a significant usability issue arises when such stationary screen or décor panel is mounted directly to the fan's stationary stator or shaft, post installation there is no control on the orientation of the display screen, resulting in a random orientation that makes it challenging for users to view and understand the displayed content.

In addition, in case of fan with display screen or deco panel of triangular or square (any polygonal shape) shapes, the orientation of the graphics display panel becomes crucial for the viewer, compared to a fan with circular display screen, as here the polygonal shape along with the graphic on it, both need to be aligned with the space as per user’s ease of view & preference. The stator & fan shaft are fixed together whereas the fan rod (also called fan down rod) is fixed to the ceiling hook (metal angle provided in ceiling), and then the shaft along with stator and complete fan assembly is taken up to be fixed to the fan rod. Once they all are fixed together & installation is completed, one cannot rotate its stator, shaft or fan rod or overall set, to change the orientation of a ceiling fan’s stator or shaft in order to achieve the desired orientation of the display screen for proper visibility. The problem statement here is the difficulty in viewing and interpreting information on ceiling fan-mounted display screens due to random orientation.

There are several problem faced related to viewing misaligned displays is hard due to several reasons, which causes fatigue, discomfort, and distraction. Optically, it blurs our vision and leads to poor posture. Additionally, users perceive randomly oriented display screens as poorly designed, leading to daily irritation and frustration. This issue affects not only ceiling fans with digital display screens but also those with printed display screens (non-digital) containing printed visuals, text, or other data.

Therefore, there exists a need to develop a system and method for adjusting the orientation of a ceiling fan's stationary assembly, comprising a stator and shaft, for better visibility of a screen mounted thereon. The technical advancements disclosed by the present invention overcomes the limitations and disadvantages of existing and convention systems and methods.

The present invention is about the mechanism of a fixture, which enables this desired functionality and makes it possible. This inventive feature can be in the form of an independent fixture or as a part of the fan rod or as a part of the fan shaft, as in all these cases the overall fan functions the same way. Without this inventive feature, the fan with display screen (specially triangular and square shape screen) would be pointing to random directions and its orientation cannot be altered by the user as per his/her choice of viewing angle.

Figure 3, illustrates an exploded view of a generic fan with its components in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. This is to understand the overall structure and positioning of its various components to better understanding of the invention. Figure 3 illustrates an exploded view of a ceiling fan with its components in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In Figure 6, (a) stands for metal down rod, (b) for rotor-housing module, (c) for upper ball bearing, (d) for stator, (e) for mount plate, and (f) for stationary display screen. Alternatively there can be 2 ball bearings too, where the lower ball bearing exists below the stator, and below this lower ball bearing there would be a bottom cover panel which fixes to the rotor housing creating a complete housing closure for the stator, ball bearings and permanent magnets. In this case, the shaft bottom node is extended passing through the lower ball bearing, passing through a hold made at centre of the bottom cover panel, so that the stationary display panel can be fixed direct with the support of this shaft, maintaining a minimal gap between bottom cover panel which rotates with rotor & the stationary panel.

The Figure 3, one can clearly observe that the fan blades are mounted on to rotor housing body and both rotates together whereas the shaft, stator and display screen remain stationary always (regardless of the fan being switched on or off). The display screen can be a smart screen display or a printed artwork or any similar visual which may be fitted to the shaft or the stator with mounting plate or similar technique.
Figure 4, illustrates various views of a fan with and without fixture in the state of motion. Figure 4(a) illustrates a randomly aligned circular-shaped display screen of the ceiling fan whereas Figure 4(b) shows the same fan as in Figure 4(a) but with the inventive feature which has been aligned in a straight view. Figure 4(c) illustrates a randomly aligned polygon-shaped (here, square-shaped) display screen of the ceiling fan whereas Figure 4(d) shows the same fan as in Figure 4(c) but with the inventive feature which has been aligned in a straight view.
Figure 5, illustrates comparative views of a fan with and without the fixture, showcasing its static and motion states within a room. The illustrations demonstrate the appearance of a conventional fan and the enhanced fan with adjustable features, highlighting how users can customize its alignment to suit the room's configuration as per ease of view of the end user. For easy understanding, a triangular shaped display screen ceiling fan is shown here, whereas it can be circular or square or any other shape screen too where we are primarily focusing on the visual display content like infographic and wallpaper design, and secondly focusing on the shape of the display screen.

Figure 5(a) illustrates a ceiling fan with a display screen in static position, placed in a room where the central component of display screen is randomly aligned, hence looks distracting and improperly designed product. In this figure, the zoom in view of the fan rod fixed to ceiling hook can be observed which is without inventive feature. Figure 5(b) illustrates same fan as shown in Figure 5(a) in state of motion, here one can notice that the stationary display screen is still pointing in same random direction and can not be aligned as per user’s choice.
Figure 5(c) illustrates the same ceiling fan as in Figure 5(a) but with inventive feature, placed in a room where the central component of display screen is randomly aligned once installed to the ceiling hook. In the zoom in view of its fan rod, one can observe the inventive feature located on the top side of fan rod which is then fixed to ceiling hook.
In Figure 5(d), it can be observed that the user can easily adjust the alignment of the display screen himself in few seconds. First he takes out a screw from the inventive fixture located on the top edge of the fan rod, to allow the upward movement of fan when the user will push it upward to rotate and adjust alignment. Now once the screw is pulled out, user holds the fan rod with one hand to lift the fan upwards and to support, holds the display screen at bottom with another hand palm, with low pressure. By lifting the fan rod slightly, now its possible to rotate the rod along with shaft, stator and display screen to adjust the alignment of the screen display. Once aligned, the fan rod is taken back to lower position where its gets interlocked at this new specific position due to innovative design of the inventive feature. The screw is applied back to restrict the upward movement of the fan rod within the inventive fixture. After doing this, the result can be observed in Figure 5(e) where the display screen of same fan with inventive feature can be seen properly straight aligned with the interior of the room while in motion, instead of pointing in random direction.
Figure 6, illustrates various views of a ceiling fan rod and ceiling hook, with and without fixture. Figure 6(a) illustrates a generic ceiling fan rod structure that is about to be fixed to a ceiling hook with the help of a mounting bracket or clamp. Figure 6(b) illustrates the same generic fan rod post-fixation to the ceiling hook. Figure 6(c) illustrates a ceiling fan rod along with the inventive fixture on its top side that is about to be fixed to the ceiling hook. Figure 6(d) illustrates the same fan rod with inventive fixture post-fixation to the ceiling hook. It’s important to note that the illustration of the inventive feature here is generic, whereas an absolute structure of this inventive feature will be shown in Figure 9 and 10 although by calling it absolute structure doesn’t mean that it’s bound by the exact structure shown, instead the inter-rotating, inter-locking functionality to be referred. It’s also important to note that the inventive feature can be a standalone independent fixture which can be fixed to the fan rod or shaft or stator or ceiling hook and also can be combined with any of these components to form a new form of fan rod, shaft, stator or ceiling hook etc.

A similar concept is conveyed in Figure 7, illustrating the possibility of consideration of this inventive fixture at the lower end of the fan rod or top end of the fan shaft. Figure 7(a) illustrates an independent inventive fixture that facilitates inter-rotation and interlocking of the fan shaft once fixed to it while the top end of this inventive fixture is fixed to the lower end of the fan rod. Here the inventive fixture is shown as a standalone item. In Figure 7(a), step1 illustrates the position where the shaft, fan rod, and inventive fixture are not fixed to each other whereas in step2 these fixtures can be observed in assembled form. Figure 7(b) illustrates the same concept as in Figure 7(a) but here the inventive fixture is joined with lower end of the fan rod to form a single unit which then can be fixed to the upper end of the fan shaft. In Figure 7(b), step1 illustrates the position where the shaft and fan rod with inventive fixture are not fixed to each other whereas in step2 these fixtures can be observed in assembled form. Hence Figure 7(a) conveys the possibility of usage of inventive feature at upper end of the shaft and lower end of the fan rod, whether in standalone single unit or in compiled form with another fixture of the fan like shaft or rod. Another important point to note is that, similarly the inventive feature can be facilitated at the lower end of the fan shaft too.
Figure 8, illustrates various views of fixture showcasing the possibilities of obtaining the same unique functionality with a variation in its structural make, although the basic principle and fundamental of this required mechanism remains same which is facilitating inter-rotation as per required alignment adjustment of display screen and then interlocking to that position to restrict vibration or any such disturbance intervening the performance and stability of the fan in motion. Figure 8(a) illustrates first variation of the inventive feature where two components have inner and outer threading and also tiny holes to place a screw to lock at a specific position. Step 1 shows unassembled form and step 2 shows assembled form of the fixture. Figure 8(b) illustrates another variation of the possible structural make of the inventive feature where instead of threading, a different structure is designed to facilitate the movement and interlocking of its components. This structure is elaborated in Figure 9 and 10 in detail. Figure 8(c) shows the possibility of making the same standalone fixture in 2 or more components. Figure 8(d) illustrates the placement of this inventive features with respect to a fan rod, although its explained earlier that its placement is not limited or restricted to only top end of the fan rod.
Figure 9, illustrates a comprehensive view of Figure 8(b) structural make of the fixture. Figure 9(a) illustrates complete view of an enhanced hand rod structure with embedded inventive feature in it. P1 denotes inner pipe component and P2 denotes housing or outer pipe component. In Figure 9(b) illustrates the same components as in Figure 9(a) but here in assembled form. P1 denotes a specially designed fan rod (top part of rod shown here) and P2 shows the housing pipe which holds the top part of this fan rod. Together these 2 components form an enhanced fan rod with inventive feature. Point A denotes holes for the fixation of the mount bracket to the ceiling hook. Point B facilitates the passage of power cables. Point C denotes the hole to insert a screw, shown as point D here. This screw is to restrict the upward movement of the top end of inner fan rod pipe P1. Point E here shows the minimal gap between the upper end of the pipe P1 and the hole C ensuring clear passage of the screw. As mentioned earlier that this hole C and it’s screw are applicable only if required to restrict the upward movement of the inner pipe component when fan is in motion, else it can be excluded from the overall fixture. F shows the teeth structure on the inner pipe P1 and G shows similar teeth structure in the housing pipe P2. Now to understand as how it actually works, lets understand with a user adjusting it. The end user first pulls out the screw at point C and then holds the mid part of the pipe P1 to push upward and with another hand supports the display screen as explained in Figure 5(d). While the inner pipe P1 is pushed upward, the interlocking teeth structure becomes free from each other and pipe P1 can be freely rotated within pipe P2 where P2 is fixed to the ceiling hook with mount brackets. Once pipe P1 is rotated as per requirement to the desired alignment of the display screen of fan, the pipe P1 is released back downwards to get interlocked with teeth structure. Now the screw is fixed back to point C in order to restrict the upward movement of the pipe P1 as PI holds the whole fan assembly which in suspended with its support.
Figure 10 illustrates the enhanced fan rod with inventive feature and the ceiling hook with mount brackets before installation of the fan.
Figure 11 illustrates the assembled form of the complete fan along with enhanced fan rod with the fixture, fixed to the ceiling hook with mount brackets. It's important to note that the fan rod and mount brackets are designed and manufactured to fit together in a compact manner as well as accommodating the fan shaft, fan canopy, and other components of the fan assembly being taken into consideration. , Claims:1.
