ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a connecting structure for conducting wires of ceiling, fan, which enables a user to DIY in stall the ceiling fan and easily connect the conducting wires of the ceiling fan with the power wires.
FIGS. 9 and 10
show the connecting structure for conducting wire of a conventional ceiling fan. After the ceiling fan is manufactured, generally the motor
81
, connecting rod
82
, connector
83
and fixing bracket
84
are separately packed. When mounting the ceiling fan, the conducting wire
801
of the motor
81
is passed through the connecting rod
82
and a pin member
85
is passed through the connecting rod
82
and a base seat
802
of the motor
81
to fix the connecting rod
82
on the motor
81
. The other end of the connecting rod
82
is connected with the connector
83
by a pin member
86
and bolts
87
. By means of the connector
83
, the connecting rod
82
is mounted on the fixing bracket
84
fixed on the ceiling. Finally, the conducting wire
801
is conducted out of the connecting rod
82
and connected with power wire
88
by a wire connecting collar
89
which is twisted to tighten the conducting wire
801
.
The conducting wire
801
has a considerable length so that when packed, the conducting wire
801
must be wound. When passing through the conducting wire
801
through the connecting rod
82
, it is necessary to first unwind the conducting wire
801
into a straight state. This procedure is quite troublesome. Furthermore, the conducting wire
801
is conducted through the connecting. rod
82
and tends to tangle and abrade the inner circumference of the connecting rod
82
. In case the skin of the conducting wire
801
is worn out, the conducting wire
801
may contact with the metal-made connecting rod
82
to cause short circuit and fire. Moreover, the conducting wire
801
is connected with the power wire
88
by an additional wire connecting collar
89
which is twisted. The wire connecting collar
89
is liable to loosen and lead to poor contact. Also, for a DIY user, it is complicated and difficult to conduct and connect the wire.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a connecting structure for conducting wires of ceiling fan. A fixing seat and a slide seat are disposed in a connecting rod connected between the base seat and the fixing bracket. By means of pushing a rail passing through the fixing seat, the slide seat is driven to slide within the connecting rod. The slide seat are formed with two wire holes and the fixing seat are formed with through holes corresponding to the wire holes. The conducting wires are passed through the through holes and inserted into the wire holes. A connecting wire is conducted from the wire hole out of a top end of the connecting rod to connect with a wire sockets which is connected with a power supply so as to easily electrically connect the conducting wires of the ceiling fan with the power wires.
