Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fan structures, and in particular to a fan blade structure with adjustable fan blade inclination angle and an axial flow fan. Background Art

[0002] Existing air conditioner outdoor units generally use axial flow fans as condenser heat dissipation devices. The axial flow fans exhaust air outward, allowing air to pass through the condenser fins and take away heat to achieve a heat exchange effect.

However, the shape and inclination angle of the fan blades are fixed, and the air volume of the axial flow fan cannot be universal for air conditioner outdoor units with different working conditions and specifications. If blades matching different working conditions are required, frequent mold opening is required, which greatly increases the production cost and is not suitable for small-scale production.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 6 The fan blade structure shown in the figure is arranged on a rotating shaft 1, and the rotating shaft 1 is arranged on a shaft seat. The fan blade structure includes: a rotating disk 3, which is arranged on the rotating shaft 1 and rotates together with the rotating shaft 1; a fan blade 2, and the fan blade 2 is arranged on the rotating disk 3; a lifting mechanism 4, which is arranged on the shaft seat and has a lifting state that can move freely along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 1; a connecting rod mechanism 5, which is arranged between the lifting mechanism 4 and the fan blade 2, and in the lifting state, the connecting rod mechanism 5 adjusts the inclination angle of the fan blade 2. When the fan blade structure works normally, the rotating shaft 1 rotates, and the rotating disk 3 rotates with the rotation of the rotating shaft 1, and at the same time, the connecting rod mechanism 5 adjusts the inclination angle of the fan blade 2. The moving fan blade 2 rotates to achieve the effect of supplying air. At this time, the lifting mechanism 4 and the connecting rod mechanism 5 are in a relatively static state, so as to maintain the inclination angle of the fan blade 2. When the fan blade structure needs to adjust the inclination angle, the lifting mechanism 4 is moved along the axis of the rotating shaft 1, thereby driving the connecting rod mechanism 5 to move at the same time. The connecting rod mechanism 5 converts the linear motion of the lifting mechanism 4 into rotation of the fan blade 2, thereby completing the adjustment of the inclination angle. That is to say, when the lifting mechanism 4 moves in the first direction, the inclination angle becomes larger, and when the lifting mechanism 4 moves in the second direction, the inclination angle becomes smaller. In particular, when the inclination angle is adjusted, the fan structure can perform normal air supply work.

[0035] The inclination angle of the fan blade 2 refers to changing the windward area of ​​the fan blade 2, or in other words, changing the static pressure generated by the fan blade 2, so as to achieve the purpose of changing the final air supply volume of the fan blade structure.

[0036] The connecting rod mechanism 5 includes a connecting rod 51 and a cam 52. The cam 52 is arranged on the fan blade 2. One end of the connecting rod 51 is hinged to the cam 52, and the other end is hinged to the lifting mechanism 4. In the lifting state, the connecting rod 51 drives the cam 52 to rotate. When the connecting rod 51 receives the linear motion of the lifting mechanism 4, it can pull the top of the cam 52, so that the cam 52 rotates along its rotation axis 1, thereby realizing the purpose of converting the linear motion into rotational motion. Because the cam 52 is on the fan blade 2, it can drive the fan blade 2 to rotate to achieve the adjustment of the inclination angle.

[0037] The lifting mechanism 4 includes a rotating table 41, a lifting platform 42 and a bearing 43. The lifting platform 42 is arranged on the shaft seat, the rotating table 41 is arranged on the rotating shaft 1, and the bearing 43 is arranged between the lifting platform 42 and the rotating table 41. In the lifting state, the lifting platform 42 moves along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 1, so that the rotating table 41 is driven by the bearing 43 to move freely along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 1, so as to realize the movement of one end of the pull rod mechanism, so as to use the bearing 43 to separate the rotation of the fan blade 2 or the rotating table 41 from the stillness of the lifting platform 42 or the shaft seat, so as to ensure that the fan blade 2 can perform normal air supply work.

[0038] The lifting mechanism 4 further includes a driving member 44 . The driving member 44 is disposed on the shaft seat, and the driving member 44 drives the lifting platform 42 to move freely along the axis direction of the rotating shaft 1 .

[0039] The driving member 44 includes a lifting motor 101 and a screw 102, wherein the lifting motor 101 is arranged on the shaft seat, and the screw 102 is directly or indirectly connected to the output end of the lifting motor 101, and a screw nut 103 is arranged on the lifting platform 42, and the screw nut 103 cooperates with the screw 102 for transmission, wherein the lifting motor 101 is a stepping motor, and the screw nut 103 and the screw 102 produce relative rotation in a straight line, so that the screw nut 103 moves on the screw 102 along the length direction of the screw 102, thereby realizing the linear movement of the lifting platform 42, when the stepping motor rotates forward, the screw nut 103 moves toward the first end of the screw 102, driving the lifting platform 42 to move in the first direction, and when the stepping motor rotates reversely, the screw nut 103 moves toward the second end of the screw 102, driving the lifting platform 42 to move in the second direction.

[0040] The driving member 44 further includes a coupling, and the output shaft of the lifting motor 101 is connected to the lead screw 102 via the coupling.

[0041] The driving member 44 further includes a guide rail 104 . A guide hole is provided on the lifting platform 42 . The guide rail 104 is provided on the shaft seat, and the guide rail 104 slides freely in the corresponding guide hole, thereby limiting the lifting platform 42 to move only in a set direction.

[0042] The axis of the guide rail 104 is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 1 , so that the lifting platform 42 can move along the axis of the rotating shaft 1 .

[0043] The driving member 44 also includes a guide rail cover 105, one end of the guide rail 104 is arranged on the shaft seat, and the other end is arranged on the guide rail cover 105, and the lifting platform 42 moves freely between the shaft seat and the guide rail cover 105, which is convenient for reliable fixation of structures such as the guide rail 104 and the screw 102.

[0044] The friction force encountered by the rotating table 41 when it moves along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 1 is smaller than the air supply resistance encountered by the fan structure when it is working. When the fan structure is placed vertically, the rotating table 41 can be squeezed on only one side of the bearing 43 under the combined action of gravity and air supply resistance, and the bearing 43 can be squeezed on the lifting platform 42. When the lifting platform 42 moves in the direction away from the fan blade 2, the rotating table 41 moves together with the lifting platform 42 under the action of the force.

[0045] A rotating groove 31 is provided on the circumferential side of the rotating disk 3, and the end of the fan blade 2 extends into the rotating disk 3 through the rotating groove 31. In the lifting state, the fan blade 2 can rotate freely along the axis of the rotating groove 31, that is, it can be ensured that the fan blade 2 rotates under the drive of the rotating disk 3, and at the same time, it can be ensured that the fan blade 2 only adjusts the inclination angle during the adjustment of the pull rod mechanism without any changes in other positions.

[0046] The rotating disk 3 includes an upper cover 32 and a lower cover 33 that are interlocked. The upper cover 32 and the lower cover 33 are both provided with arc grooves, and the two opposite arc grooves together form the rotating groove 31, which is convenient for installing the fan blade 2 on the rotating disk 3. In particular, two protrusions are provided on the fan blade 2, and a gap is formed between the two protrusions. The rotating groove 31 is within the gap, thereby ensuring the reliability of the position of the fan blade 2.

[0047] A supporting groove is provided on the rotating shaft 1, and the end of the fan blade 2 extending into the rotating disk 3 extends into the supporting groove, thereby limiting the dimension of the fan blade 2 extending into the rotating disk 3. At the same time, the supporting groove can further drive the fan blade 2 to rotate along with the rotating shaft 1, thereby ensuring the reliability of the installation and operation of the fan blade 2.

[0048] The fan blade structure further includes a motor 6 , and an output shaft of the motor 6 constitutes the rotating shaft 1 or is drivingly connected to the rotating shaft 1 .

[0049] The number of the fan blades 2 is n, and the angle formed by two adjacent fan blades 2 at the axis of the rotating shaft 1 is 360° / n, wherein n≥2, preferably four, and the angle is 90°.

[0050] An axial flow fan comprises the above-mentioned fan blade structure.

[0051] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
