  • Patent number: 8436566
    Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-speed control apparatus for a fan motor. The apparatus includes a driving member, a motor speed sensing member, a resistor circuit, a voltage-division resistor, and a multi-segment switch. The driving member has a controlled end connected with the multi-segment switch. The driving member has an output end connected with the fan motor. The driving member has a detection end connected with the motor speed sensing member. The resistor circuit includes some resistors with various resistances. The multi-segment switch interconnects the resistor circuit, the voltage-division resistor, the controlled end of the driving member, and a voltage source. This switch is optionally connected to the resistor disposed in the voltage source or voltage-division resistor. An input voltage is created across the resistor by dividing the voltage. The driving member is therefore provided for driving the fan motor to a rotating speed according to the input voltage.
