Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of DC fans, and in particular relates to a DC fan with silencing and noise reduction functions. Background Art

[0002] A DC fan is one that converts DC power into mechanical energy by rotating a DC motor through input DC power, which in turn drives the fan impeller. A key feature of a DC fan is its DC motor. This permanent magnet excitation eliminates the losses caused by the excitation current of an induction motor. Furthermore, the permanent magnet brushless DC motor operates in synchronous mode, eliminating the frequency losses of the induction motor's rotor core. These two factors make the permanent magnet brushless DC motor far more efficient than an induction motor, with the efficiency improvement being even more pronounced for smaller motors. While DC fans are widely used, the rotating blades of these fans generate considerable noise, significantly impacting the working environment.

[0003] To this end, the patent specification with publication number CN212643118U discloses a DC fan with a sound-absorbing and noise-reducing function, including a housing, a first fixed head fixedly connected to the inner bottom end of the housing, a first sound-absorbing mechanism fixedly connected to one side of the first fixed head, the first sound-absorbing mechanism including a filter screen, one end of the filter screen fixedly connected to the first fixed head, the other end of the filter screen connected to a second fixed head, both sides of the filter screen connected to a second sound-absorbing cotton layer, each second sound-absorbing cotton layer is connected to a mesh layer on one side, the second fixed head fixedly connected to one side of the second sound-absorbing mechanism, the second sound-absorbing mechanism fixedly connected to one side of a third fixed head, and the third fixed head fixedly connected to one side of a third sound-absorbing mechanism. The second sound-absorbing cotton layer absorbs noise, and at the same time, the second and third sound-absorbing mechanisms absorb noise generated by the rotation of the blades, thereby reducing the amount of noise generated by the operation of the DC fan and achieving a good noise reduction effect.

[0004] However, this DC fan with noise reduction function still has some shortcomings. Its internal sound absorption and noise reduction mechanism does not have a self-cleaning function, is prone to dust accumulation, and is difficult to clean. Therefore, it needs to be optimized and improved. Summary of the Invention
