[0016] S2, when the fan blades rotate, they can drive the rotating shaft 1, the bevel gear 2, the bevel gear 2, the rotating shaft 2, the bevel gear 3, the bevel gear 3, the bevel gear 4 and the rotating shaft 3 to rotate. When the bevel gear 4 rotates, it can drive the bevel gear 1 to rotate, and finally make the bevel gear 1 rotate, so that the screw rotates, and the screw drives the two sliding blocks 2 thereon to perform relative motion;

[0020] (1) When the present invention is used, the wedge-shaped blocks on the left and right sides can drive the V-shaped connecting ends in contact with them to move relative to each other, so that the angle of the V-shaped connecting ends changes, thereby expanding or contracting each W-shaped filter, and then changing the projected area of ​​the air flow flowing in each W-shaped filter and the air duct housing, thereby adjusting the filtering efficiency of the foldable filter.

[0021] (2) When the present invention is used, when the flow air in the air duct housing passes through, it can drive the fan blades to rotate, so that the device can use the flow air in the air duct housing as a power to drive the two wedge blocks to move relative to each other, so that each W-shaped filter can be automatically unfolded when there is flow air passing through the device.

[0022] (3) When the present invention is used in practice, different airflow velocities in the air duct housing will cause the fan blades to rotate at different angles to overcome the elastic potential energy of the elastic rope. The greater the airflow velocity, the greater the rotation angle of the fan blades, which will increase the opening angle of the V-shaped connection end, and the expanded area of ​​each W-shaped filter screen will increase, thereby increasing the filtration efficiency of the foldable filter screen. When the airflow velocity decreases or there is no airflow, the wound and stretched elastic rope will drive the winding reel to rotate in the opposite direction, reducing the opening angle of the V-shaped connection end and folding the foldable filter screen, so that the device can automatically adjust the filtration efficiency of the foldable filter screen according to the airflow velocity in the air duct housing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings. However, the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not exhaustive. Based on the embodiments in the implementation manner, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Specific embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] As attached Figures 1-9 The air flow filtering device of a biological safety cabinet shown in the figure includes an air duct housing 100, which is installed in a ventilation duct 140 on a biological safety cabinet 130. The air duct housing 100 is a shell that is through-through from front to back. A foldable filter screen 110 is arranged inside the air duct housing 100. Connecting plates 120 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the outer wall of the foldable filter screen 110. The inner wall of the air duct housing 100 and the foldable filter screen 110 are fixedly connected by the connecting plates 120. The foldable filter screen 110 is formed by connecting a plurality of W-shaped filter screens 111. A V-shaped connecting end 200 is provided at the connection between two adjacent W-shaped filter screens 111 on the left and right. A wedge block 210 is provided on the inner side of the V-shaped connecting end 200 on the left and right sides. The wedge block 210 and the inner side wall of the V-shaped connecting end 200 fit together, and the wedge block 210 drives the V-shaped connecting end 200 on the left and right sides to move left and right.

[0037] Among them: when the wedge blocks 210 on the left and right sides move relative to each other, they can drive the V-shaped connecting ends 200 in contact with them to move relative to each other, so that the angle of the V-shaped connecting ends 200 changes, thereby expanding or contracting each W-shaped filter 111, and then changing the projected area of ​​the airflow flowing in each W-shaped filter 111 and the air duct housing 100, thereby adjusting the filtering efficiency of the foldable filter 110.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Based on the first embodiment, the solution in the first embodiment is further detailed in combination with the following specific working methods, as described below:

[0040] As attached Figures 1-8The figure shows an air flow filter device for a biological safety cabinet, wherein the lower ends of the outer walls of the two wedge-shaped blocks 210 are fixedly mounted with sliding blocks 1 310, the lower ends of the left and right inner walls of the air duct housing 100 are fixedly mounted with connecting blocks 400, and the opposite sides of the inner walls of the left and right connecting blocks 400 are fixedly mounted with slide rail frames 300, and the two sliding blocks 1 310 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the slide rail frames 300, and the inner walls of the left and right connecting blocks 400 are rotatably connected with screws 410 located at the rear end of the slide rail frames 300, and the threads on the left and right sides of the screws 410 are opposite, and the outer walls of the screws 410 are symmetrically threaded with sliding blocks 2 420, and the two The lower end of the outer wall of each sliding block 420 is fixedly installed with an n-type connecting rod 430, and the front end of each n-type connecting rod 430 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer wall of the sliding block 1 310 on the corresponding side. A bevel gear 500 is fixedly installed in the middle of the outer wall of the screw 410. A protective plate 510 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the outer wall of the screw 410 and located on the left and right sides of the bevel gear 500. A connecting frame 600 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the left and right connecting blocks 400 and located at the rear end of the screw 410. The upper end of the outer wall of the connecting frame 600 is fixedly installed by a support rod 700, and the upper end of the outer wall of the support rod 700 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 710. The front section of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 710 passes through the rear side of the outer wall of the support rod 700 and is fixedly installed with a fan blade 720. The rear end of the outer wall of the fan blade 720 is fixedly installed with a bevel gear 2 730. The upper end of the outer wall of the connecting frame 600 is symmetrically fixed with the connecting frame 2 800 on both sides. The upper ends of the outer walls of the two connecting frames 800 are fixedly installed with a fixed block 810 at the same time. The fixed block 810 is internally connected to the rotating shaft 2 820 for rotation. The upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2 820 are fixedly installed with a bevel gear 3 830. The internal connection of the connecting frame 600 is connected to the rotating shaft 3 601. The front and rear ends of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 3 601 are fixedly installed. There is a bevel gear four 610, and the bevel gear four 610 on the front and rear sides are respectively meshed with the bevel gear one 500 and the bevel gear three 830. A winding drum 900 is fixedly installed on the front section of the outer wall of the rotating shaft one 710, and an elastic rope 920 is wound around the inner wall of the winding drum 900. The number of elastic ropes 920 can be changed according to the rated wind speed of the air duct shell 100 and the model of the fan blade 720. The elastic rope 920 can be an elastic rubber rope or a cow tendon rope. A fixing rod 910 is fixedly installed on the end of the elastic rope 920 away from the winding drum 900, and the front end of the outer wall of the fixing rod 910 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the outer wall of the air duct shell 100.

[0041] Among them: When the flow airflow in the air duct housing 100 passes through, it can drive the fan blade 720 to rotate. When the fan blade 720 rotates, it can drive the rotating shaft 1 710 and the bevel gear 2 730 to rotate, so that the bevel gear 2 730 drives the rotating shaft 2 820 and the bevel gear 3 830 to rotate, thereby making the bevel gear 3 830 drive the bevel gear 4 610 and the rotating shaft 3 601 to rotate.

At the same time, when the two sliding blocks 2 420 move, they can respectively drive the two sliding blocks 1 310 to slide on the inner wall of the slide rail frame 300 through the N-shaped connecting rod 430, so that the two wedge blocks 210 move relative to each other, so that the device can use the flow airflow in the air duct housing 100 as a driving force to drive the two wedge blocks 210 to move relative to each other, so that when there is flow air passing through the device, each W-shaped filter 111 can be automatically unfolded. At the same time, when there is airflow passing through the air duct housing 100 to rotate the fan blades 720, the fan blades 720 can drive the winding drum 900 to rotate when rotating, and the winding drum 900 can wrap and stretch the elastic rope 920 when rotating. Different airflow velocities in the air duct housing 100 will cause the fan blades 720 to overcome the elastic potential energy of the elastic rope 920 and do work, and the rotation angles are different. The greater the airflow velocity, the greater the rotation angle of the fan blades 720. The larger the opening angle of the V-shaped connecting end 200, the larger the expanded area of ​​each W-shaped filter 111, thereby increasing the filtering efficiency of the foldable filter 110. When the airflow velocity decreases or there is no airflow, the wound and stretched elastic rope 920 will drive the winding reel 900 to rotate in the opposite direction, reducing the opening angle of the V-shaped connecting end 200 and retracting the foldable filter 110, allowing the device to automatically adjust the filtering efficiency of the foldable filter 110 according to the airflow velocity in the air duct housing 100.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely preferred examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
