Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of ultra-low noise centrifugal fan equipment, specifically to an ultra-low noise energy-saving centrifugal fan. Background Technology

[0002] A centrifugal fan includes a fan body with an internal cavity and an air inlet on the side communicating with the cavity. The fan body also has an air outlet at the bottom communicating with the cavity. An impeller is also present inside the fan body. During impeller rotation, airflow smoothly enters the fan body and is output rapidly through the outlet. Because the air inlet and outlet of the centrifugal fan are staggered, the centrifugal fan generates considerable noise during operation.

[0003] Application number 202210139416.6 discloses an ultra-low noise energy-saving centrifugal fan, including a housing, a connecting cylinder, and a connecting rod. The housing has an internal cavity with an opening at the right end and a through inlet on the side. After the housing is fitted onto the fan body, the inlet is connected to the air inlet of the fan body. The connecting cylinder is cylindrical and horizontally arranged. The impedance silencer is tightly fitted inside the connecting cylinder. The connecting cylinder is connected to the housing via the connecting rod, and the air outlet of the fan body is directly connected to the impedance silencer. This ultra-low noise energy-saving centrifugal fan has high stability.

[0004] Although this setup results in a highly stable, ultra-low-noise energy-saving centrifugal fan, the impedance silencer and casing can reduce noise to some extent for the fan and motor. However, during the rotation of the fan impeller driven by the motor shaft, the friction between the fan shaft and bearings and other mechanical components will generate noise. This is especially true at high speeds, where the wear on the bearings will increase and the friction will produce more noticeable noise. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ultra-low noise, energy-saving centrifugal fan to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] The present invention is an energy-saving centrifugal fan with ultra-low noise, including a support assembly, wherein a drive assembly, a housing and a lubrication drive structure are mounted on the top of the support assembly;

[0008] The outer wall of the housing is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet;

[0009] The drive assembly includes a motor, an impeller, and a duckbill. The impeller and the duckbill are installed inside the housing, and the motor drives the impeller and the duckbill through an output shaft.

[0010] The motor has a first bearing and a second bearing installed on its output shaft.

[0011] The lubrication drive structure includes a second housing and an oil pipe. An oil groove is provided inside the output shaft of the motor. The lubricating oil inside the second housing is delivered to the support plate and the first bearing through the oil pipe and the oil groove.

[0012] The purpose of this design is to lubricate the first and second bearings through a lubrication drive structure, thereby reducing wear.

[0013] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a flat plate, on the upper surface of which a first support plate and two second support plates are mounted. The motor is mounted on top of the first support plate, and the housing is mounted on top of the two second support plates. The output shaft of the motor extends into the interior of the housing.

[0014] The impeller is mounted on the output shaft of the motor, and a duckbill is provided inside the impeller;

[0015] The purpose of this design is to drive the impeller and the duckbill to rotate through the output shaft of the motor, so that the airflow enters from the air inlet, passes through the inside of the casing, and flows out to the air outlet.

[0016] Furthermore, the first bearing is installed between the motor output shaft and the housing, and several support plates are connected to the inner wall of the housing. The second bearing is installed between the support plates and the motor output shaft. The purpose of this arrangement is to allow the motor output shaft to rotate while simultaneously lubricating the first and second bearings.

[0017] Furthermore, a number of guide plates are installed at one end of the output shaft of the motor, and the guide plates are located at the port of the housing. The purpose of this arrangement is that when the output end of the motor rotates, it drives the guide plates to rotate, and the external airflow is introduced through the guide plates. During the introduction process, turbulence is prevented, thereby reducing airflow noise.

[0018] Furthermore, the oil groove extends to the inner side of the first and second bearings, and the purpose of this arrangement is to allow lubricating oil to flow to the inner side of the first and second bearings.

[0019] Furthermore, an intermittent gear is installed on the outer wall of the output shaft of the motor, and the lubrication drive structure also includes a driven gear. The second housing is installed on the outer wall of the motor, and the driven gear is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the second housing. The driven gear meshes with the intermittent gear with a clearance. An oil inlet is provided on the upper surface of the second housing for adding lubricating oil.

[0020] The purpose of this setup is to drive the intermittent gear through the motor's output shaft, thereby causing the driven gear to rotate intermittently.

[0021] Furthermore, the driven gear's shaft extends into the interior of the second housing, a helical rod is mounted on the outer wall of the driven gear's shaft, an oil separator is mounted on the outer wall of the second housing, and the driven gear's shaft extends into the interior of the oil separator.

[0022] The purpose of this design is to allow the driven gear shaft to rotate with clearance, thereby driving the screw rod to rotate with clearance. During this rotation, lubricating oil is output to the oil outlet.

[0023] Furthermore, an oil outlet hole is provided between the second housing and the oil distribution housing. A stop block for opening and closing the oil outlet hole is installed on the shaft of the driven gear. Several push plates are installed on the outer wall of the driven gear shaft. Several push plates are located inside the oil distribution housing. The oil distribution housing is connected to the oil tank through an oil pipe.

[0024] The purpose of this design is to allow the driven gear shaft to rotate the stop block intermittently, thereby allowing the stop block to intermittently open and close the oil outlet. The driven gear shaft drives the push plate to rotate, pushing the lubricating oil and delivering it into the oil pipe for lubrication.

[0025] Furthermore, a buffer structure is installed at the bottom of the support assembly. The buffer structure includes a base plate and a moving groove. A plurality of moving grooves are provided on the lower surface of the plate. An oil distribution pipe is connected to the outer wall of the oil separator. The oil distribution pipe is connected to the moving groove. A second sliding plate and a first sliding plate are slidably connected on the inner wall of the moving groove. A spring is installed between the second sliding plate and the first sliding plate. The second sliding plate is located at the top of the spring. A sliding rod is connected to the lower surface of the first sliding plate, which extends through the moving groove to the outside and connects with the base plate.

[0026] The purpose of this design is that during the intermittent rotation of the screw rod, as the lubricating oil is output to the oil outlet, a portion of the lubricating oil flows into the oil distribution pipe and the cavity between the second sliding plate and the moving groove, forming oil pressure. When the moving groove is vibrated, the oil pressure surface disperses the vibration wave, which is then absorbed by the compression spring of the second sliding plate, thereby reducing vibration.

[0027] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] (1) The present invention, through the setting of the lubrication drive structure, the motor output end rotates, which drives the guide plate to rotate, and the external airflow is introduced through the guide plate. During the introduction process, turbulence is prevented, thereby reducing airflow noise. The guide plate can reduce the turbulence and turbulence generated when the air flows from different directions, thereby reducing the noise level. The upper surface of the second housing is provided with an oil inlet for adding lubricating oil. The output shaft of the motor drives the intermittent gear, thereby causing the driven gear to rotate intermittently. The shaft of the driven gear rotates intermittently, which drives the screw rod to rotate intermittently. During the rotation, the lubricating oil is output to the oil outlet. The shaft of the driven gear rotates intermittently on the stop block, thereby allowing the stop block to intermittently open and close the oil outlet. The shaft of the driven gear drives the push plate to rotate, which pushes the lubricating oil and delivers the lubricating oil to the inside of the oil pipe for lubrication. The lubricating oil flows to the inside of the first bearing and the second bearing through the oil pipe and the oil groove. With the cooperation of the gap structure, lubricating oil is saved while lubricating.

[0029] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

The second housing 401 is mounted on the outer wall of the motor 201. The driven gear 402 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the second housing 401.

[0054] The purpose of this configuration is to drive the intermittent gear 202 through the output shaft of the motor 201, thereby causing the driven gear 402 to rotate intermittently.

[0055] The driven gear 402's shaft extends into the interior of the second housing 401. A helical rod 406 is installed on the outer wall of the driven gear 402's shaft. An oil separator 400 is installed on the outer wall of the second housing 401. The driven gear 402's shaft extends into the interior of the oil separator 400.

[0056] The purpose of this configuration is to allow the driven gear 402 to rotate with a gap, thereby driving the screw rod 406 to rotate with a gap. During the rotation, lubricating oil is output to the oil outlet 407.

[0057] An oil outlet 407 is provided between the second housing 401 and the oil distribution housing 400. A stop 405 for opening and closing the oil outlet 407 is installed on the shaft of the driven gear 402. Several push plates 404 are installed on the outer wall of the shaft of the driven gear 402.

The driven gear 402's shaft drives the push plate 404 to rotate, pushing the lubricating oil and delivering it to the inside of the oil pipe 403 for lubrication. The lubricating oil then flows through the oil pipe 403 and the oil groove to the inside of the first bearing 7 and the second bearing 8. With the intermittent structure, lubrication is saved while lubrication is achieved. During the intermittent rotation of the screw rod 406, as the lubricating oil is output to the oil outlet 407, a portion of the lubricating oil flows into the oil distribution pipe 40 and the cavity between the second sliding plate 504 and the moving groove 505, forming oil pressure. When the moving groove 505 is vibrated, the oil pressure surface disperses the vibration wave, which is absorbed by the compression spring 503 of the second sliding plate 504, thereby reducing vibration.
