Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of fans, and more particularly to a single-drive series fan. Background Art

[0002] A fan is a mechanical device used to create air or gas flow. It transports air or gas from one place to another through rotating blades, thereby changing the speed and direction of the air flow.

[0003] Existing fans are used in many scenarios. For example, in the process of drying textiles, the fabrics usually need to go through the step of drying or removing moisture. The fan accelerates the air flow to remove moisture from the surface or inside of the textiles.

[0004] For example, the fan is also the core device that provides airflow power in the dust collection system. It generates airflow to suck dust and particulate matter in the air from the work area or production line and transport it to the dust collection device.

[0005] In the above two scenarios, the wind pressure inside the fan is different. In terms of fabric drying, the wind pressure required by the fan is relatively low, as long as the wind can pass through the fabric. Excessive wind pressure may cause damage to the textile. In terms of dust collection, the wind pressure required by the fan is higher in order to inhale particulate matter in the air and transmit it to the dust collector through the piping system. Therefore, in textile production plants, two fans are generally used to realize the application of the above two scenarios. By changing the rotation speed of the motor to generate different wind pressures in the fan, the fan can meet the needs of different application scenarios.

[0006] However, using two fans that can be controlled independently to realize the application of the above two scenarios requires sufficient space on the factory floor to place the two fans. The two fans occupy a large area, which is not conducive to the utilization of factory space.

[0007] Therefore, new solutions need to be proposed to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a single-drive series fan.

[0009] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions: a single-drive series fan, comprising a base, a fan 1 and a fan 2, the fan 1 and the fan 2 being centrifugal fans, the fan 1 and the fan 2 being respectively provided with an impeller 1 and an impeller 2, the base being fixedly connected to a driving motor for synchronously driving the impeller 1 and the impeller 2 to rotate, an annular cover being fixedly connected between the fan 1 and the fan 2, a plurality of ventilation holes being provided on one side of the fan 1 being connected to one end of the annular cover, the other end of the annular cover being connected to the air inlet of the fan 2, a plurality of air inlets being provided on the outer peripheral wall of the annular cover, the impeller 1 being able to push part of the air volume in the fan 1 toward the ventilation holes;

[0010] The impeller 1 includes a mounting plate and an annular plate, and a plurality of blades 1 are fixedly connected between the mounting plate and the annular plate. The output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the mounting plate. The blade 1 includes a centrifugal area and an axial flow area. The area of the centrifugal area is larger than the area of the axial flow area. A plurality of ventilation slots are opened on the mounting plate, and the ventilation slots are located at the projection position of the axial flow area on the mounting plate.

[0011] The present invention is further configured as follows: a guide ring is fixedly connected to the inner edge of the annular plate, the diameter of the guide ring decreases the further away from the annular plate, and the axial flow area is the portion of the blade extending to the guide ring.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: all the ventilation holes form a ventilation area on the mounting plate, the ventilation area is annular, and the projection of the ventilation slot on an inner wall of the fan is located on the ventilation area.

[0013] The present invention is further configured as follows: a plurality of balancing blades are fixedly connected to the side of the annular plate facing away from the mounting plate, and the balancing blades can generate a balancing force for the impeller 1 toward the annular cover.

[0014] The present invention is further configured as follows: a number of the balancing blades are arranged near the outer edge of the annular plate, an air guide cover is fixedly connected to the inner edge of the air inlet of fan 1, one end of the air guide cover extends into fan 1 and is close to the guide ring, the diameter of the air guide cover becomes smaller as it approaches the guide ring, and the minimum diameter of the guide ring is larger than the minimum diameter of the air guide cover.

[0015] The present invention is further configured as follows: a wind collecting hood is fixedly connected to the annular cover, one end of the wind collecting hood is fixedly connected to the air inlet of fan 2, and the other end of the wind collecting hood is fixedly connected to the inner circumferential wall of the annular cover, and all the air inlets are located on the side of the wind collecting hood facing away from fan 2.

[0016] The present invention is further configured as follows: the impeller 2 includes a plurality of blades 2, and the impeller 2 can only generate wind facing away from the center of the fan 2.

[0017] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] Impeller 1 and impeller 2 are driven synchronously by the same drive motor, so that fan 1 and fan 2 become a whole. Compared with two independent fans, a motor and a frame and other structures are saved, thereby reducing the footprint of the entire fan and saving site space.

[0019] During the operation of fan one, impeller one centrifuges most of the wind in fan one and discharges it from the air outlet of fan one. The wind discharged from fan one is used to dry textiles. Part of the wind in fan one also moves toward the ventilation hole through the action of impeller one. Because the wind entering from fan one has been accelerated by impeller one, after entering fan two, it is accelerated by impeller two, which makes the wind flow faster, thereby making the air pressure in fan two higher than that of separate control. Therefore, the wind flowing out of fan two is also stronger, which is suitable for the dust collection function in textile factories. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Single drive series fans, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it includes a base 1, a fan 2 and a fan 3. Both fans 1 2 and 2 3 are centrifugal fans. Fan 1 2 and fan 2 3 are fixedly connected to the base 1 by screws. Fan 1 2 and fan 2 3 are respectively provided with an impeller 1 4 and an impeller 2 5. A driving motor 6 for synchronously driving impeller 1 4 and impeller 2 5 to rotate is fixedly connected to the base 1. An annular cover 7 is fixedly connected between fans 1 2 and 2 3. One end of the output shaft of the driving motor 6 passes through the center of the annular cover 7 and is fixedly connected to the impeller 1 4. A plurality of annular covers are provided on one side of the fan 2. 7, the other end of the annular cover 7 is connected to the air inlet of the fan 2 3, and a plurality of air inlets 9 are opened on the outer peripheral wall of the annular cover 7. The plurality of air inlets 9 are distributed in a circular array on the outer peripheral wall of the annular cover 7. The impeller 1 4 can push part of the air volume in the fan 2 toward the ventilation hole 8. In the present invention, the impeller 1 4 and the impeller 2 5 are synchronously driven to rotate by the same driving motor 6, so that the fan 2 and the fan 2 3 become a whole. Compared with two independent fans, a motor and a frame structure are saved, thereby reducing the overall wind speed. The floor area of the machine is reduced, which saves space in the site. Both fan 1 2 and fan 2 3 are centrifugal fans, so the air inlets and air outlets of the two fans are not in a straight line. Fan 1 2 and fan 2 3 both have independent air inlets. The difference is that the wind in fan 2 3 enters the annular cover 7 through the air inlet 9 on the annular cover 7, and then enters fan 2 3 through the air inlet of fan 2 3. During the operation of fan 1 2, the impeller 1 4 centrifuges most of the wind in fan 1 2 and discharges it from the air outlet of fan 2. The wind discharged from fan 2 It is used for drying textiles, wherein part of the wind in fan 2 is also moved toward the ventilation hole 8 by the action of impeller 1 4, so that the wind enters the annular cover 7 through the ventilation hole 8 under the action of impeller 1 4, and then enters fan 2 3. Because the wind entering from fan 1 2 has been accelerated by impeller 1 4, after entering fan 2 3, it is accelerated by impeller 2 5, which makes the flow rate of the wind faster, so that the air pressure in fan 2 3 is higher than that of separate control, so the wind flowing out of fan 2 3 is also stronger, which is suitable for the dust collection function in textile factories.

[0028] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the impeller 4 includes a mounting plate 10 and an annular plate 11, and a plurality of blades 12 are fixedly connected between the mounting plate 10 and the annular plate 11. The output shaft of the drive motor 6 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 10. The blade 12 includes a centrifugal area 13 and an axial flow area 14. A plurality of ventilation slots 15 are provided on the mounting plate 10. The ventilation slots 15 are located at the projection position of the axial flow area 14 on the mounting plate 10. The blade 12 has a certain curvature whether it is in the centrifugal area 13 or in the axial flow area 14. The main function of the centrifugal area 13 is to push the air in the fan 2 back to the center direction of the fan 2. The main function of the axial flow area 14 is to push the air in the fan 2 toward the ventilation slot 15. Because the blade 12 has a certain curvature, the centrifugal area 13 can also push part of the wind toward the ventilation slot 15. The area of the centrifugal area 13 is larger than the axial area. Due to the area of the flow zone 14, the main function of the blade 12 is to push the wind in the fan 2 toward the air outlet of the fan 2, but a certain axial flow fan capacity is retained, which can push part of the air volume toward the ventilation slot 15. A guide ring 16 is fixedly connected to the inner edge of the annular plate 11. The diameter of the guide ring 16 becomes smaller as it moves away from the annular plate 11. The axial flow zone 14 is the part of the blade 12 extending to the guide ring 16. During the rotation of the blade 12, since the inner wall of the guide ring 16 has a certain angle, the direction of the wind moving back to the center of the fan 2 will change after contacting the inner wall of the guide ring 16. That is, the wind moving back to the center of the fan 2 in the axial flow zone 14 will be converted into wind moving toward the ventilation slot 15, so that most of the wind in the axial flow zone 14 can be pushed toward the ventilation slot 15.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, all ventilation holes 8 form a ventilation area on the mounting plate 10, and the ventilation area is annular. The projection of the ventilation slots 15 on the inner wall of the fan 2 is located on the ventilation area. The ventilation holes 8 are evenly arranged on the ventilation area, so that the ventilation volume at each position of the ventilation area is the same. This arrangement allows the wind flowing out of the ventilation slots 15 to enter the annular cover 7 through the ventilation area during the rotation of the impeller 4. A number of balancing blades 17 are fixedly connected to the side of the annular plate 11 facing away from the mounting plate 10. The balancing blades 17 can generate a balancing force for the impeller 4 toward the annular cover 7. In order to ensure the strength of the fan 2 shell, the ventilation area There is still a certain distance between each ventilation hole 8 inside. Therefore, when the axial wind generated by the impeller 4 flows to the position where the ventilation hole 8 is not opened in the ventilation area, it will have a certain reverse force on the impeller 4, so that the impeller 4 has a tendency to move back to the direction of the annular cover 7, which makes it easy for the impeller 4 to vibrate on the output shaft of the drive motor 6. The setting of the balancing blade 17 enables the balancing blade 17 to generate a balancing wind toward the direction of the annular cover 7 during the rotation of the impeller 4. The balancing wind hits the impeller 4 and can offset part of the reaction, thereby reducing the vibration of the impeller 4 on the output shaft of the drive motor 6.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of balancing blades 17 are arranged near the outer edge of the annular plate 11, and an air guide hood 18 is fixedly connected to the inner edge of the air inlet of the fan 2. One end of the air guide hood 18 extends into the fan 2 and is close to the guide ring 16. The diameter of the air guide hood 18 is smaller as it is closer to the guide ring 16. The air guide hood 18 can gather the wind and the minimum diameter of the guide ring 16 is larger than the minimum diameter of the air guide hood 18 close to it, so that the wind out of the air guide hood 18 can be smoothly sucked into the guide ring 16, so that it is not easy to interfere with the balanced wind generated by the position of the balancing blades 17. There is a distance between the air guide hood 18 and the guide ring 16, so that when the impeller 4 vibrates to a certain extent, it is not easy for the guide ring 16 and the air guide hood 18 to interfere with each other, thereby ensuring the safety between the guide ring 16 and the air guide hood 18. A wind gathering hood 19 is fixedly connected to the annular cover 7, one end of the wind gathering hood 19 is fixedly connected to the air inlet of the fan 2 3, and the other end of the wind gathering hood 19 is fixedly connected to the inner peripheral wall of the annular cover 7. All air inlets 9 are located on the side of the wind gathering hood 19 facing away from the fan 2 3. The wind gathering hood 19 is arranged in the annular cover 7, which can gather the wind entering the annular cover 7, thereby making the wind pressure entering the fan 2 3 greater, ensuring the wind pressure in the fan 2 3. The arrangement of the wind gathering hood 19 allows the annular cover 7 to have a larger cross-sectional area while also ensuring the wind pressure in the fan 2 3. The large cross-sectional area of the annular cover 7 indicates that the diameter of the annular cover 7 is also relatively large, so that more air inlets 9 can be opened on the outer surface of the annular cover 7, ensuring the air intake of the fan 2 3.

[0031] like Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, impeller 2 5 includes several blades 20. Impeller 2 5 can only generate wind facing away from the center of fan 2 3. Specifically, blade 2 20 is arranged in a rectangular shape. Compared with blade 1 12, blade 2 20 has no curvature, so that blade 2 20 cannot generate axial wind, thereby ensuring the air outlet efficiency of fan 2 3.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, both fan 1 2 and fan 2 3 are driven by a 90KW, 2P motor as the drive motor 6. When the drive motor 6 independently drives the fan 1 2, its air volume is 14000m³ / H and its pressure is 13000PA. When the drive motor 6 independently drives the fan 2 3, its air volume is 2000m³ / H and its pressure is 10000PA. After the fan 1 2 and the fan 2 3 are connected in series and synchronously driven by the drive motor 6, the air volume at the outlet of the fan 1 2 is 12000m³ / H and its pressure is 13000PA, and the air volume at the outlet of the fan 2 3 is 2000m³ / H and its pressure is 20000PA. m³ / H, and the pressure is 22000PA. After comparing the above data, it is found that the air volume of fan 2 is only 14.3% less than that of separate control. The loss of this air volume is relatively small, and the wind pressure in fan 2 is almost unchanged, so that the air volume of fan 2 can still ensure the drying effect of textiles. The wind pressure of fan 23 is increased by 1.2 times compared with independent control, from the original 10000PA to 22000PA, so that the internal wind pressure of fan 23 can reach the wind pressure of efficient dust collection, so that this wind pressure can meet the dust collection effect, and the air volume of fan 23 is almost unchanged. It can be obtained from the above that after fan 23 is connected in series with the above structure, the wind pressure in fan 23 is higher than that in fan 2, so that the wind pressures in fan 2 and fan 23 can respectively meet the effects of fabric drying and dust collection.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. All technical solutions based on the concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, various improvements and modifications that do not depart from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
