[0029] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0030] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, when terms such as "set on", "connected", and "connected" appear, these terms should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can be fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally connected; they can be directly connected or connected through one or more intermediate media. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances. The directional words that appear in the present invention are to better illustrate the characteristics of the features and the relationship between the features. It should be understood that when the placement direction of the present invention changes, the characteristics of the features and the direction of the relationship between the features also change accordingly. Therefore, the directional words do not constitute an absolute limitation on the characteristics of the features and the relationship between the features in space, but only play a relative limitation role.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, an explosion-proof centrifugal fan includes an impeller 2, a casing 1, and a pressure plate 3. The impeller 2 includes a base plate 21, blades 20, and a connecting shaft 22. The connecting shaft 22 is disposed at the axis of the base plate 21. A plurality of backward-inclined blades 20 are fixedly connected to the base plate 21 and the connecting shaft 22. The blades 20 are fixed to the base plate 21 and the connecting shaft 22 by welding. The backward-inclined blades 20 generate less noise during operation, and the efficiency, flow rate, and air pressure are relatively stable.

[0032] The blade 20 includes a bottom edge connected to the bottom plate 21 and a top edge away from the bottom plate 21. The top edge includes an air inlet oblique edge 23 whose inner end is connected to the connecting shaft 22 and continuously extends outward and upward. The outer end of the air inlet oblique edge 23 is connected to an air guide oblique edge 24 that continuously extends outward and downward. An air outlet straight edge 25 is connected between the outer end of the air guide oblique edge 24 and the outer end of the bottom edge, and the air outlet straight edge 25 is perpendicular to the bottom plate 21. The height of the lowest end of the air inlet oblique edge 23 is consistent with the height of the connecting shaft 22, and the thickness of the blade 20 at the end close to the bottom plate 21 is slightly greater than the thickness of the blade 20 at the end away from the bottom plate 21.

[0033] like Figure 8As shown, the projection of the blade 20 on the base plate 21 includes a projected arc segment away from the connecting axis 22 and a projected straight line segment close to the connecting axis 22. The projections of the air inlet bevel 23 and the air guide bevel 24 are included in the projected straight line segment, and the projections of other parts of the air guide bevel 24 are included in the projected arc segment. The projected straight line segment is tangent to the projected arc segment.

The bottom surface of the pressure plate 3 is parallel to the wind guide bevel 24, and the spacing H2 between the two is 1.2-1.3mm. The specific gap formed by the combination of the two can effectively reduce the guide section. The outer side of the pressure plate 3 and the air inlet 31 are both designed with a draft, and the draft angle is 3 degrees. The air inlet 31 at this angle is not only convenient for casting demolding, but also has a rectifying effect, improving the smoothness of the air flow, and achieving the purpose of increasing the total pressure and static pressure.

[0035] In this embodiment, the casing 1, impeller 2 and pressure plate 3 are all made of aluminum. The pressure plate 3 and casing 1 are both made of high-strength ADC12 aluminum alloy, and the impeller 2 is made of high-strength 6061 (T6) aluminum. Aluminum products are relatively soft, and the energy generated during friction will be directly consumed in metal deformation.

[0037] In this embodiment, the radius R2 of the outer circle surrounded by the outer ends of all the blades is 204.5-205.5 mm, the thickness H5 of the bottom plate 21 is 6.7-7.2 mm, and a boss is provided at the bottom of the bottom plate 21; the radius R3 of the top end of the connecting shaft 22 is 36.5-37.5 mm and the height H4 is 47.5-48.5 mm; a through hole is also provided on the bottom plate 21 to pass through the connecting shaft 22 and the boss.

[0038] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the height H1 of the inner cavity formed by the shell is 189.5-190.5 mm, and the shortest distance H3 from the bottom edge of the blade 20 to the shell is 35.5-36.2 mm. Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the height H6 between the intersection of the air guide oblique edge 24 and the air inlet oblique edge 23 and the bottom plate is 115-115.5 mm, the height H7 of the air outlet straight edge 25 is 86.5-87.5 mm, and the angle ∠5 formed by the air outlet straight edge 25 and the air guide oblique edge 24 is 104.5-105.5 degrees.

[0039] In this embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the profile of the casing 1 is surrounded by a first arc segment, a second arc segment, a third arc segment, a fourth arc segment, a fifth arc segment and a diffuser segment. The first arc segment is tangent to the second arc segment, the second arc segment is tangent to the third arc segment, the third arc segment is tangent to the fourth arc segment, the fourth arc segment is tangent to the fifth arc segment, and the fifth arc segment is tangent to the diffuser segment. A rectangular coordinate system is established with the center of the mounting position 12 of the housing 1 as the coordinate origin O. The coordinates of the center O1 of the first arc segment are (22.7, 5), the radius R4 is 233.3-233.6 mm, and the central angle ∠1 is 17.5-18.5 degrees; the coordinates of the center O2 of the second arc segment are (4, 8), the radius R5 is 252-253 mm, and the central angle ∠2 is 90.5-91.5 degrees; the coordinates of the center O3 of the third arc segment are (-1, -9), the radius R6 is 269-270 mm, and the central angle ∠3 is 88.5-89.5 degrees; the coordinates of the center O4 of the fourth arc segment are (21, -10), the radius R7 is 291-292 mm, and the central angle ∠4 is 92.5-93.5 degrees; the coordinates of the center O5 of the fifth arc segment (not shown in the figure) are (18.5, 1579.5), the radius R8 is 1880-1881 mm, and the central angle corresponding to the fifth arc segment is 1.5-2.5 degrees; the length L2 of the diffuser section is 151.5-152.5 mm.

[0040] In this embodiment, a motor mounting plate 4 is mounted on a mounting position 12 on the housing 1 away from the pressure plate 3 , and a driving motor 5 for driving the impeller 2 is mounted on the motor mounting plate 4 .

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the gap of a specific size formed between the pressure plate 3 and the impeller 2 in the present invention can increase the guiding effect, reduce the intake noise and reduce vortex while increasing the airflow; the backward arc-shaped and lubricated blades 20 can reduce the airflow resistance, make its movement smoother, and reduce the impact of the airflow on the impeller 2 and the casing 1, so as to achieve the purpose of noise reduction; at the same time, the aluminum casing 1, impeller 2 and pressure plate 3 can effectively achieve an explosion-proof effect, and the air inlet 31 with a draft design can have a rectifying effect, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the total pressure and static pressure of the explosion-proof centrifugal fan.

[0042] In the absence of conflict, the above embodiments and features therein may be combined with each other.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
