  • Publication number: 20120262282
    Abstract: A hanging fan control circuit for controlling a clockwise/counterclockwise rotation and a rotation speed comprises a zero circuit including an integrating circuit for converting an external AC power at a different frequency into a DC power at a different voltage and transmitting a power signal to a central processing unit. The central processing unit distinguishes the DC power as a high potential and switches a power off switch to interrupt the power which is distinguished as a low potential. A speed adjusting instruction or a clockwise/counterclockwise rotation switching instruction can be determined according to a time interval of the change of the high potential or low potential, and different control signals will be transmitted to a triphase motor driving module according to different instructions for driving and rotating a brushless motor to achieve a correct operation of the hanging fan.
