Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to a volute, a fan, and an air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, distributed air supply technology has gained high recognition in the air conditioning market. However, due to its high cost, it is mainly used in high-end products, which leads to its insufficient market competitiveness.
[0003] After long-term research and development, distributed air supply technology has been significantly improved, reducing the number of fans from the initial three to a single centrifugal fan with equivalent performance. This represents a major breakthrough in cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
[0004] However, due to the problems of large lateral dimensions and low fan efficiency in single-centrifugal distributed air supply systems, there is still considerable room for improvement in fan performance. In order to achieve greater breakthroughs in cost reduction and efficiency improvement, it is urgent to develop more competitive single-centrifugal distributed air supply systems.
[0005] Because double-suction centrifugal fans have the characteristics of large flow coefficient and good noise quality, we chose to research and develop a brand-new single-centrifugal double-suction fan to improve the performance of centrifugal fans and achieve further cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
[0006] However, the high-pressure airflow at the outlet of the double-suction volute is prone to backflow, which can easily cause eddy current loss and backflow loss inside the volute, resulting in reduced fan efficiency. At the same time, it can also cause discontinuous aerodynamic noise at the outlet of the volute, resulting in poor sound quality of the air conditioner. Summary of the Invention

[0038] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a volute, comprising: a volute body 1, the volute body 1 including a fan blade mounting portion 3 for mounting a fan blade assembly 2 and two air duct portions 4 spaced apart along a first direction on both sides of the fan blade mounting portion 3 and communicating with the fan blade mounting portion 3; the fan blade mounting portion 3 is used to mount the fan blade assembly 2; a first air duct profile 5 and a second air duct profile 6 are respectively formed between the opposite sides of each air duct portion 4 spaced apart along a second direction and the fan blade mounting portion 3; the connection between the side of each air duct portion 4 near the first air duct profile 5 and the fan blade mounting portion 3 is streamlined; the connection between the side of each air duct portion 4 near the second air duct profile 6 and the fan blade mounting portion 3 is a volute tongue 7; at least one air duct portion 4 has a convex bulge 8 on its opposite sides spaced apart along the rotation axis of the fan blade assembly 2, protruding in a direction away from the corresponding air duct portion 4; wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other and both perpendicular to the rotation axis of the fan blade assembly 2.
[0039] In this way, the volute of the present invention, by setting the first air duct profile 5, the second air duct profile 6, and the convex bulge 8, increases the air volume of the dual-suction single centrifugal fan, improves the uneven distribution of airflow velocity in the air duct, reduces the aerodynamic noise of the dual-suction centrifugal fan, improves the working performance of the centrifugal fan, and adjusts the direction of the outlet airflow. It can effectively suppress the backflow phenomenon in different wind modes, effectively reduce the vortex in the air duct, reduce airflow loss, improve noise problems such as outlet air duct surge and discontinuous airflow, improve the user's comfort experience, and solve the problems of low fan efficiency and discontinuous aerodynamic noise at the outlet of the volute of the prior art single centrifugal dual-suction fan.
[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the convex bulge 8 includes: an upper surface 81, which is spaced apart from the air duct portion 4; a first side surface 82 and a second side surface 83, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the upper surface 81 along the extending direction of the air duct portion 4, with the first side surface 82 located on the side of the upper surface 81 away from the fan blade mounting portion 3 and the second side surface 83 located on the side of the upper surface 81 close to the fan blade mounting portion 3; a third side surface 84 and a fourth side surface 85, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the upper surface 81 along a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the air duct portion 4, with the third side surface 84 located on the side of the upper surface 81 close to the first air duct profile 5 and the fourth side surface 85 located on the side of the upper surface 81 close to the second air duct profile 6; wherein, the upper surface 81 is connected to the outer surface of the air duct portion 4 through the first side surface 82, the second side surface 83, the third side surface 84 and the fourth side surface 85.
[0041] In the first and second embodiments of the present invention, the inner wall surface of the convex 8 near the volute tongue 7 is connected to the inner wall surface of the volute body 1 near the volute tongue 7 to guide the airflow direction, reduce the mutual impact of airflow, thereby reducing the vortex in the air cavity and reducing surge noise.
[0042] In the first embodiment of the present invention, the calculation formula for the first air duct profile 5 is as follows: ;in, ; ; ; ; The dimension of the first air duct profile 5 in the second direction is defined by the intersection of a straight line parallel to the second direction and passing through the rotation axis of the fan blade assembly 2 with the side of the volute body 1 closest to the first air duct profile 5. The dimension of the first air duct profile 5 in the first direction is taken as the starting point of the rotation axis of the fan blade assembly 2.
[0043] In the first embodiment of the present invention, the calculation formula for the second air duct profile 6 is as follows: L is the total length of the air duct, 300mm≤L≤400mm; θ is the angle between the extension direction of the second air duct profile 6 and the second direction, 55°≤θ≤65°; l is the length of the second air duct profile 6.

[0046] This effectively improves the performance of the bidirectional centrifugal fan, reduces production costs, and adjusts the airflow direction within the duct in different wind modes, thereby increasing the fan's air volume. Even with the rear-mounted air guide plate, which may result in a slightly less pleasant user experience, it effectively curbs airflow backflow and reduces vortices within the duct, improving the airflow field within the fan duct, reducing aerodynamic noise, and enhancing the overall sound quality of the fan, thus improving user comfort.
[0047] In the second embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall surface of the convex 8 on the side near the volute tongue 7 is connected to the inner wall surface of the volute body 1 on the side near the volute tongue 7, and the inner wall surface of the convex 8 on the side away from the volute tongue 7 is connected to the inner wall surface of the volute body 1 on the side away from the volute tongue 7, so as to adjust the airflow direction, reduce the mutual impact of airflow, reduce the vortex in the air cavity, and thus reduce surge noise.
[0048] In the second embodiment of the present invention, the calculation formula for the second air duct profile 6 is as follows: L is the total length of the air duct, 300mm≤L≤400mm; θ is the angle between the extension direction of the second air duct profile 6 and the second direction, 55°≤θ≤65°; l is the length of the second air duct profile 6.

[0050] In the third embodiment of the present invention, gaps are left between the two inner wall surfaces of the convex bulge 8 that are close to the first air duct profile 5 and the second air duct profile 6 and the inner wall surface of the volute body 1, so as to adjust the airflow direction, reduce the mutual impact of airflow, reduce the vortex in the air cavity, and thus reduce the surge noise.
[0051] In the third embodiment of the present invention, the calculation formula for the second air duct profile 6 is as follows: Where L is the total length of the air duct, 300mm≤L≤400mm; θ is the angle between the extension direction of the second air duct profile 6 and the second direction, 55°≤θ≤65°; and l is the length of the second air duct profile 6.

[0054] Specifically, the fan is also equipped with a guide vane. By controlling the rotation angle of the guide vane, the guide vane can be tilted forward to tilt and send the airflow upward, or the guide vane can be tilted backward to press the airflow downward, thus achieving a variety of wind sensation experiences.
[0055] The present invention also provides an air conditioner including the aforementioned fan.
[0056] like Figure 6 The diagram shown illustrates the airflow distribution within the duct section of a volute in the prior art. The presence of vortices and uneven flow field distribution within the duct section easily generates aerodynamic noise, thus affecting the fan's performance and overall sound quality. Figure 7 As can be seen from the airflow distribution diagram of the duct section of the volute of the present invention, the volute of the present invention greatly improves the above-mentioned problems.
[0057] like Figure 8 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the airflow velocity distribution in the duct section of a volute in the prior art. Airflow within the duct experiences backflow, resulting in backflow losses. This reduces airflow volume and the volute's working efficiency; furthermore, the backflow generates significant aerodynamic noise. Figure 9 As can be seen from the cross-sectional view of the airflow velocity distribution of the duct section of the volute of the present invention, the volute of the present invention greatly improves the above-mentioned problems.
[0058] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
[0059] The volute of the present invention includes: a volute body 1, the volute body 1 including a fan blade mounting portion 3 for mounting a fan blade assembly 2 and two air duct portions 4 spaced apart along a first direction on both sides of the fan blade mounting portion 3 and communicating with the fan blade mounting portion 3; the fan blade mounting portion 3 is used to mount the fan blade assembly 2; a first air duct profile 5 and a second air duct profile 6 are respectively formed between the opposite sides of each air duct portion 4 spaced apart along a second direction and the fan blade mounting portion 3; the connection between the side of each air duct portion 4 near the first air duct profile 5 and the fan blade mounting portion 3 is streamlined; the connection between the side of each air duct portion 4 near the second air duct profile 6 and the fan blade mounting portion 3 is a volute tongue 7; at least one air duct portion 4 has a protrusion 8 on its opposite sides spaced apart along the rotation axis of the fan blade assembly 2, protruding in a direction away from the corresponding air duct portion 4; wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other and both perpendicular to the rotation axis of the fan blade assembly 2. In this way, the volute of the present invention, by setting the first air duct profile 5, the second air duct profile 6, and the convex bulge 8, increases the air volume of the dual-suction single centrifugal fan, improves the uneven distribution of airflow velocity in the air duct, reduces the aerodynamic noise of the dual-suction centrifugal fan, improves the working performance of the centrifugal fan, and adjusts the direction of the outlet airflow. It can effectively suppress the backflow phenomenon in different wind modes, effectively reduce the vortex in the air duct, reduce airflow loss, improve noise problems such as outlet air duct surge and discontinuous airflow, improve the user's comfort experience, and solve the problems of low fan efficiency and discontinuous aerodynamic noise at the outlet of the volute of the prior art single centrifugal dual-suction fan.
