Abstract
Smart ceiling fan, and its method of operation. A fan includes an electric rotor to rotate a set of blades at a rotation speed. A controller operates to enforce a modification to rotation speed of the set of blades, based on a first user-configurable parameter of average rotation speed to be maintained, and further based on a second user-configurable parameter of level of variance of rotation speed; and optionally, also based on a third user-configurable parameter of length of time-interval between two consecutive modifications of rotation speed of the set of blades. The fan operates to automatically emulate a naturally-occurring breeze-like airflow.
Claims20
A fan comprising:
- an electric rotor to rotate a set of blades at a rotation speed;
- a controller to enforce a modification to rotation speed of the set of blades, based on
- (i) a first user-configurable parameter of average rotation speed to be maintained, and
- (ii) a second user-configurable parameter of level of variance of rotation speed.
A method comprising:
- electrically rotating a rotor connected to a set of blades, at a rotation speed;
- automatically modifying said rotation speed, based on (i) a first user-configurable parameter of average rotation speed to be maintained, and (ii) a second user-configurable parameter of level of variance of rotation speed;
- wherein the method is implemented by utilizing at least a hardware-based control unit.
