Description
TITLE OF THE INVENTION TEMPERATURE DISPLAYING FAN
RELATED APPLICATIONS
Priority is claimed from application no 60/759184 filed January 13, 2006, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a rotary electric fan assembly that senses the ambient temperature and displays the ambient temperature by the persistence- of-vision effect.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION There are numerous devices of the prior art, including electric fan assemblies, that provide rotating LED arrays to produce images displaying information/data by the persistence-of-vision or after-image effect.
For example, US 2002/0135541 published September 26, 2002, issued as US 6,856,303 to Kowalewski teaches a rotating display system in which a series of individually powered LED's are swept in a cylindrical plane to display externally generated text and graphics, including, possibly, stock quotes; and, US 6,037,876 issued March 2000 to Crouch teaches a lighted message fan assembly having a row of individually powered, fan blade mounted light sources for displaying internally generated or externally communicated images. The disclosures of the above two publications are incorporated herein by reference.
However, none of the prior art teaches a rotary electric fan assembly which both senses the ambient temperature and displays the sensed temperature by a persistence-of-vision effect, or senses and displays any other ambient environmental state, by a persistence-of-vision effect.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the invention is to provide a rotary electric fan assembly which both senses the ambient temperature and displays the ambient
temperature by the persistence-of-vision effect.
An additional object of the invention is to provide such fan assembly which senses the temperature of the air as it actually passes through the fan blade assembly . A further object of the invention is to provide such fan wherein a temperature sensor is mounted on the fan blade, remote from parts of the fan assembly subject to heating by the fan mechanism so that the temperature of the ambient air is measured accurately.
According to one aspect, the invention provides an electric fan assembly of a type having a rotating fan blade mounted with an array of light emitting devices; a data supply, a fan blade position synchronizing switch and, a microcontroller and display driver for selectively powering the light emitting devices when the fan blade is in a synchronized position for displaying the data by a persistence-of-vision effect, wherein the data is supplied by a temperature sensor mounted on a portion of the electric fan assembly remote from a heat generating region thereof so that the ambient air temperature is displayed in an area swept by the fan blade during rotation.
The resulting fan display is both amusing and informative to users in displaying the ambient environmental air temperature. As temperature is an analog quantity, an analog to digital converter is in practice necessary to provide digital signals to drive the LED array. Such analog to digital converter may be provided as a separate unit, combined as a package with the temperature sensor itself, or combined as a package with the microcontroller. The temperature sensor may be mounted on the fan blade assembly, preferably on the fan blade, so that the temperature of ambient air will be sensed while passing through the fan blade assembly permitting an extremely accurate result corresponding to the temperature of the air steam actually being blown towards the user. ' It is further preferred that the LED array, the microcontroller and display driver; and the temperature sensor are mounted on a common circuit board attached to a common fan blade.
This provides a compact structure which can be assembled by
conventional mass production techniques enabling economic high volume production.
It is additionally preferred that the synchronizing means comprises a phototransistor mounted on the common circuit board on the fan blade and aligned for momentary registration with a LED mounted in the fan housing during each rotation of the fan blade assembly to provide the synchronizing signal.
This enables all three active elements to be assembled with the fan blade as a single unit.

PARTICULAR DESCRIPTION
As shown in figure 1-3, the temperature sensing and displaying fan 1 comprises a pedestal base 2 supporting a housing 3 for a fan motor 4 having a stator winding 5 surrounding a rotor winding 6 fixed on one end of drive shaft 7. The other end of the drive shaft protrudes out from the motor housing 3 and is fixed to hub 8 which is molded in one piece with fan blades 9 to form fan blade
assembly 10. The drive shaft 7 also carries a secondary winding 11 of a 1 :1 rotary transformer 12.
A circuit board mounted rectifier/filter and high frequency inverter unit 13 is mounted in the motor housing 3 and has a low voltage power input tap14 from the motor stator winding 5 and power output leads 15 and 17, respectively, connected to an infra-red LED 16 of a synchronizing switch on a front of the motor housing 3, behind the fan blades, and to the primary winding 18 of the rotary transformer 12, respectively.
A circuit board mounted rectifier/filter and voltage regulator unit 19 is fixed in a rear cavity 20 in the hub 8. An IR phototransistor 22, microcontroller 23 and thermistor 24 are mounted on the display circuit board 25 and a single row LED array 27 is mounted displaced therefrom on a front face. The circuit board is fastened to the rear face of one of the fan blades so that the LED array 26 is aligned with a radially extending window 27 in the blade and the phototransistor is radially aligned with the LED 16 for momentary switching registration therewith during each rotation of the fan blade to provide the synchronization switch.
Mains power is supplied to the motor via power cord 29 by operation of power switch 30 mounted on the motor housing 3 so that the LED array is lit during each blade rotation to display a numerical indication 31 of ambient temperature sensed by the thermistor 24 at the top of the swept area and the unit of measurement 32 at the bottom, as shown in figure 3.
In summary, as shown in figure 4, the main circuit elements comprise a rectifier/filter and high frequency inverter 13 connected to a winding to tap at reduced voltage from the stator of fan motor 4. The high frequency inverter 13 provides a low voltage dc to the IR LED 16 and a high frequency square wave
(e.g 18KHz) to the primary 18 of the rotary transformer 12. The rectifier/filter and voltage regulator 19 is connected to the transformer secondary 11 to receive the high frequency square wave induced therein and to provide a rectified and regulated dc output to power thermistor 24, photo transistor 22, the microcontroller /analog to digital converter/display driver 23 and the LED array 26.
As shown in detail in figure 5, a rectifying stage 35 of the rectifier/filter and high frequency inverter 13 is constituted by a set of rectifying diodes D21 -
D24 in parallel with filter capacitor C21 connected to provide a smoothed low voltage dc to IR LED D25 (16), biased by resistor R21 , for continuous operation and to the high frequency inverter stage 36 comprising IC U21 , (part TL494 manufactured by Texas instruments of Dallas TX with the pulse width modulating facility inoperative). Resistors R22 and C22 determine the oscillating frequency. IC U21 is connected to drive a push-pull H-bridge in which pairs of transistors Q21 ,Q24 and Q22, Q23 are respectively driven alternately by IC ports C1 ,E1 and C2, E2 to provide a square wave to the primary 18 of the rotary transformer 12. Diodes D26-D29 clamp high voltage transients that develop across the primary 18 of rotary transformer 12.
In rectifier/filter and voltage regulator 19, the square wave induced in the secondary 11 is rectified and smoothed by a set of rectifying diodes D11 -D14 in parallel with smoothing filter capacitor C11 and output to voltage regulator U11 , (part LM317 manufactured by National Semiconductor of Santa Clara, CA). Resistors R11 and R12 set up the correct regulatory response of the voltage regulator. The output from voltage regulator LJ11 in conjunction with transient response improving capacitor C12, supplies low voltage dc (e.g 3v) for operation of the thermistor 24, phototransistor 22 of the synchronization switch, the microcontroller, analog to digital converter and display driver 23 and, to the LED array 26, shown in figure 6.
The microcontroller, analog to digital converter, and display driver 23 (U 1 ) are parts of a C8051 F334 manufactured by Silicon Laboratories of Austin, TX . C2CK and C2D are program loading inputs to respective ports Rst/C2CK and P2.0/C2D of the microcontroller. Capacitor C1 holds the microprocessor in reset mode initially when turned on, until fully operational. The thermistor 24 provides an analog voltage signal corresponding to the sensed ambient temperature which is sampled by the analog to digital converter of the microcontroller via port PO.3 and is converted to a digital signal which selectively lights the arrayed LEDs D1-D12 (26) at intervals during each rotation of the fan blade in accordance with the rotational position as determined by the programming of the microcontroller, synchronism being provided by signals from the switching phototransistor 22 connected to port PO.1. C2 is a by-pass capacitor.
Although synchronization is obtained by a LED and phototransistor
combination, other types of synchronizing switches utilizing magnetic means such as reed switches and other electromagnet devices or optical devices may be used.
The low voltage ac could be provided by a transformer instead of from the motor winding tap
