  • Patent number: 12196214
    Abstract: A double-layer blade ceiling fan capable of adjusting the arrangement of blades includes a motor and at least two blades. The motor has a stationary part and two rotating parts. The rotating parts are spaced apart from the stationary part. The rotating parts each have a plurality of mounting portions that are arranged around a central axis of the motor. The stationary part has an upper connecting portion and a lower connecting portion. The mounting portion is configured for connection of one of the blades. At least one of the blades is fixed to each of the rotating parts. The blades mounted to the rotating parts are selectively arranged in a same or different pattern for regulating air flow. When the blades and the rotating parts are rotated, the upper connecting portion and the lower connecting portion are not affected.

  • Publication number: 20240345178
    Abstract: For transformer fault detection, a method generates a transition region that separates a health region and a fault region in a two-dimensional feature space of two feature indicators for a plurality of operation conditions using a fault detection model for a power transformer type. The method determines the feature indicators of a given power transformer of the power transformer type. The method determines whether the feature indicators in the transition region satisfy a fault condition. The method predicts an inter-turn short fault for the given power transformer in response to satisfying the fault condition or the feature indicators being in the fault region.

  • Patent number: 12104767
    Abstract: A quick assembling structure includes a first seat, a second seat, and two elastic plates. The first seat and the second seat are configured to be coupled to a ceiling fan body and a lamp. The first seat has two bars. The second seat has two bar entrances, two longitudinal grooves, and two guide grooves. The elastic plates are disposed in the respective guide grooves, and each have a contact portion and a holding portion. When in use, the bars of the first seat are inserted into the bar entrances, the longitudinal grooves and the guide grooves, the bars are pushed to pass through the contact portions of the elastic plates, and the bars are secured between the contact portions and the holding portions of the elastic plates and the guide grooves.

  • Publication number: 20240102484
    Abstract: A ceiling fan has blades spaced apart circumferentially about and extending outward radially from a rotating component of a motor. The blades include upper blades and lower blades. Each lower blade is between and extends below a pair of adjacent upper blades. The motor, when activated, rotates the rotating component, concurrently rotating the upper blades and the lower blades in the same rotational direction. Each of the upper blades leading an adjacent one of the lower blades is configured to generate and direct an air current rearwardly and downwardly therefrom in front of the adjacent one of the lower blades and each of the lower blades trailing an adjacent one of the upper blades is configured to intercept the air current from the adjacent one of the upper blades and accelerate it rearwardly and downwardly therefrom, when the motor is activated.

  • Publication number: 20230332616
    Abstract: A ceiling fan having double-layer blades includes a motor unit, a blade frame unit, a first blade unit, and a second blade unit. The blade frame unit has a blade frame body. The first blade unit includes a plurality of first blades. The second blade unit includes a plurality of second blades. The first blades and the second blades surround the outside of the blade frame body, so that there is no need for the motor unit to provide a motor housing for connecting the first blades and the second blades, thereby saving costs and installation costs. With the arrangement of the first blades and the second blades, the ceiling fan can increase the current of air for cooling.
