Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of axial flow fans, and more specifically, relates to a variable speed and low noise axial flow fan. Background Art

[0002] Axial flow fans are a common type of fans, also known as local ventilation fans, and are widely used in industrial and mining enterprises, agricultural production, construction sites, aerospace and other fields. It is the airflow in the same direction as the axis of the fan blades, such as electric fans and air conditioner outdoor fans, which are axial flow fans. They are called "axial flow" because the gas flows parallel to the fan axis. Axial flow fans are usually used in situations where the flow requirements are high and the pressure requirements are low. Axial flow fans are fixed in position and move the air.

[0003] During operation, the existing axial flow fan may generate loud noise due to the friction between the blades and the airflow and the vibration of the motor, which affects the normal operation of the fan. At the same time, after long-term operation, dust will accumulate inside the axial flow fan. The adhesion of dust on the surface of the axial flow fan component will cause unbalanced operation of the component, which may cause unstable driving of the motor on the blades, thereby shortening the service life of the fan. Taking an axial flow fan with noise reduction function disclosed in a Chinese invention patent document (CN202210548985.6) as an example, the invention arranges an airflow stabilizing mechanism in the shell to prevent the fan blades from being impacted by turbulent airflow and generating excessive noise, and a cleaning mechanism is provided in the middle of the shell to clean the dust accumulated on the fan blades. However, the invention only reduces the noise generated by the friction between the blades and the airflow, and cannot solve the noise generated by the vibration of the motor. At the same time, the cleaning mechanism can only clean the fan blades locally, and the cleaning effect is not good. The efficiency of the axial flow fan will still be reduced due to the dust after long-term operation.
