Abstract

A ventilation system comprises a ventilation fan with a lamp for installing to a ceiling having an installation opening. The ventilation fan comprises a housing, a fan module, a power box, a junction box, a lamp module and a support. The housing has a first opening and an air outlet. The fan module comprises an inlet opening and an outlet opening. The outlet opening communicates with the air outlet. The power box has a first circuit board. The lamp module and the housing are located at opposite sides of the installation opening. The junction box is electrically connected to the first circuit board and the lamp module. The impeller comprises a hub, and a ratio of a height of the hub to a height of the housing is less than 0.5. A ratio of a height of the impeller to a height of the housing is greater than 0.65.

First claim

2 . The ventilation system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the fan module further comprises:
a second circuit board disposed in the frame and electrically connected to the motor and the first circuit board of the power box.

3 . The ventilation system as recited in claim 2 , wherein the motor is an external-rotor DC motor.

4 . The ventilation system as recited in claim 2 , wherein the frame further comprises a shaft tube disposed at the pillow, and the second circuit board is disposed around the outer periphery of the shaft tube.

5 . The ventilation system as recited in claim 4 , wherein the second circuit board is a circular board and comprising a water-proof structure.

6 . The ventilation system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprises at least one installation hole, the junction box is disposed in the housing by installing to the at least one installation hole.

7 . The ventilation system as recited in claim 2 , wherein the frame further comprises a mounting portion, the power box is connected to the mounting portion and then disposed in the housing with the fan module.

8 . The ventilation system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprises at least one extension portion, the at least one extension portion is disposed on the side wall inside the housing, a slot is formed on the at least one extension portion, the lamp module comprises at least one elastic element, and the at least one elastic element penetrating through the slot for preventing the lamp module from falling down directly during disassembling.

9 . The ventilation system as recited in claim 2 , wherein the frame further comprises at least one extension portion, the at least one extension portion is disposed on the frame, a slot is formed on the at least one extension portion, the lamp module comprises at least one elastic element, and the at least one elastic element penetrating through the slot for preventing the lamp module from falling down directly during disassembling.

10 . The ventilation system as recited in claim 1 , wherein a height of the housing is equal to or less than 4 inch.

11 . The ventilation system as recited in claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a diameter of the impeller to a value of ¼ of perimeter of the first opening is greater than 0.7.

12 . The ventilation system as recited in claim 1 , wherein a ratio of an area of the inlet opening to an area of the first opening is greater than 0.25.

13 . The ventilation system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the first circuit board of the power box outputs DC power to the fan module.

14 . The ventilation system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the support contacts the ceiling.

15 . The ventilation system as recited in claim 14 , wherein the lamp module and the support are connected by a contact portion, and the gap is configured between the lamp module and the support.

16 . The ventilation system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the lamp module comprises a light source, a base, at least one optical component, and a lamp cover, the optical component is disposed on the base, the lamp cover is disposed at one side of the optical component away from the base, and the light output direction of the light source of the lamp module is not equal to the light output direction of the lamp module.

17 . The ventilation system as recited in claim 16 , wherein the optical component is a light diffuser, and the light diffuser receives the light emitted from the light source of the lamp module.

18 . The ventilation system as recited in claim 17 , wherein the light source is disposed at the side of the light diffuser.
