The invention discloses a novel brushless DC ceiling fan which comprises blades and a motor for driving the blades. The motor comprises a stator and a rotor. The stator uses a centralized three-phasewinding structure of a brushless DC motor. The rotor uses a squirrel-cage winding structure of an asynchronous motor. A motor shaft passes through the stator and the rotor and is mounted on two end caps of the motor through bearings. The stator is disposed in the inner layer of the motor. The rotor is disposed in the outer layer of the motor. The stator is embedded in the rotor. The novel brushless DC ceiling fan can realize smooth speed regulation, is low in energy consumption and can save energy by 35% to 40%.
