[0012] The front part of the outer supporting part of the rear suspension supporting plate is bent towards the leeward side, so that the profile tangent of the front part of the outer supporting part gradually approaches the axial direction, the flow direction of the fluid passing through this part can be gradually deflected to approach the axial direction, the deflection degree of the fluid relative to the axial direction is reduced, the residual velocity of the fluid is recovered, and the efficiency of the axial flow fan is improved.

[0072] The present application is further illustrated by the following examples without thereby limiting the present application to the examples.

[0073] Example 1

[0074] The present embodiment provides a range hood, Figures 1-7 The present embodiment provides a range hood,

[0075] As Figure 1 The range hood 10000 includes an axial fan 1000, a hood 2000, and an outer shell 3000. The hood 2000 is fixed to the outer shell 3000, and the axial fan 1000 is installed in the outer shell 3000. The bottom of the hood 2000 is formed with an opening as an inlet of the range hood 10000. The inlet of the axial fan 1000 is communicated with the inlet of the range hood 10000, and the outlet of the axial fan 1000 is formed as an outlet of the range hood 10000.

[0076] In the present embodiment, the length direction, the width direction, and the height direction of the range hood 10000 are respectively the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction, which are perpendicular to each other. The Z direction is parallel to the vertical direction. In the drawings of the present application, the Z axis coincides with the axis of the axial fan 1000, and the direction of the Z axis is the direction in which the inlet of the axial fan 1000 faces the outlet, which also corresponds to the direction in which the fluid flows from the upstream to the downstream in the axial fan 1000. For the convenience of the following description, the direction of the Z axis is referred to as the “first direction” hereinafter.

[0077] In other embodiments, the shape and the installation direction of the range hood 10000 can be adjusted according to the use requirements. For example, the inlet of the axial fan 1000 can be set as the inlet of the range hood 10000, such as when the hood 2000 is not provided; or the inlet of the axial fan 1000 can be communicated with the inlet of the range hood 10000. The outlet of the axial fan 1000 can be set as the outlet of the range hood 10000; or the outlet of the axial fan 1000 can be communicated with the outlet of the range hood 10000 through a pipeline.

[0078] As Figures 2-5The axial flow fan 1000 comprises a housing 1, and a rotating shaft 3, a blade assembly 2, two suspension plates 5 including a front suspension plate 51 and a rear suspension plate 52, and two mounting members 4 including a front mounting member 41 and a rear mounting member 42 arranged in the housing 1.

[0079] The blade flow channel 6 is a known concept, and is a flow channel range of the blade assembly 2 in the housing 1 of the axial flow fan 1000 along the Z direction from the leading edge to the trailing edge, Figure 4 The range of the blade flow channel 6 along the Z direction is shown by Z_YPLD. As shown in Figure 4 The blade flow channel 6 is formed between the inner surface of the housing 1 and the surface of other components in the housing 1 except the blade assembly 2, and in the embodiment, the blade flow channel 6 is formed by the inner surface of the housing 1 and the outer surface of the rotating shaft 3; the blade assembly 2 is arranged in the blade flow channel 6. In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The inner diameter of the housing 1 and the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 3 remain constant along the Z direction so that the minimum radius and the maximum radius of the blade flow channel 6 remain constant, thereby forming a stable blade flow channel 6.

[0080] As shown in Figures 3-5 The blade assembly has a stage number K=3, and each single-stage blade assembly 2 comprises two blades including a moving blade 21 and a stationary blade 22, and along the Z direction, a first-stage moving blade 211, a first-stage stationary blade 221, a second-stage moving blade 212, a second-stage stationary blade 222, a third-stage moving blade 213, and a third-stage stationary blade 223 are arranged in sequence and at intervals, the stationary blade 22 is mounted on the housing 1, and the moving blade 21 is mounted on the rotating shaft 3. As shown in Figure 2 The housing 1 of the axial flow fan 1000 comprises a front housing 11 and a rear housing 12, and the flange of the front housing 11 and the flange of the rear housing 12 are fixedly connected.

[0081] As shown in Figure 5 The rotating direction of the rotating shaft 3 is W, and when the fluid flow direction has a component in the same direction as W, the speed is considered to be negative. The component of the fluid not parallel to the Z direction when flowing through the blade assembly is called “pre-whirl”, and when flowing out of the blade assembly, it is called “residual speed”, and when the component is in the same direction as W, it is negative residual speed or negative pre-whirl.

[0082] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 The absolute value of the outlet angle β2 of the moving blade 21 is greater than the absolute value of the outlet angle β4 of the stationary blade 22, and the outlet angle β4 of the stationary blade 22 is ≥0°, so that after the fluid flows through the stationary blade 22, it is deflected relative to the axial direction and then flows to the next-stage moving blade 21, thereby facilitating the generation of negative pre-whirl and improving the pressure rise efficiency of the axial flow fan 1000. The outlet angle is defined in accordance with the American textbook, and is the angle between the tangent direction of the camber line of the blade at the trailing edge and the Z direction. Figure 5 In the embodiment, β4 is positive, and the trailing edge of the stationary blade 22 points in the same direction as the rotating direction of the rotating shaft 3.

[0083] The front suspension support plate 51 is located upstream of the blade assembly 2 and fixed to the housing 1; the front mounting piece 41 is located upstream of the rotating shaft 3 and rotatably connected to the upstream end of the rotating shaft 3, and fixed to the front suspension support plate 51; the rear suspension support plate 52 is located downstream of the blade assembly 2 and fixed to the housing 1; the rear mounting piece 42 is located downstream of the rotating shaft 3 and rotatably connected to the downstream end of the rotating shaft 3, and fixed to the rear suspension support plate 52. The rotatable connection method includes, but is not limited to, connection via bearings. Figure 6 A perspective view of the rear suspension support plate and rear mounting components is shown. The mounting components 4 and suspension support plate 5 are provided to install the rotating shaft 3, avoiding interference with the processing and manufacturing of the blade assembly 2 in the axial flow fan 1000, and improving the ease of manufacturing the axial flow fan 1000.

[0084] In this embodiment, a rear suspension plate 52 is provided to recover the residual velocity of the fluid flowing out of the blade assembly 2, thereby improving the efficiency of the axial flow fan. For the specific principle, please refer to Embodiment 2.

[0085] Example 2

[0086] This embodiment provides an axial flow fan. The main difference between the axial flow fan in this embodiment and that in Embodiment 1 is the shape of the rear suspension plate. The housing, rotating shaft, blade assembly, and rear mounting parts are set up in the same way as in Embodiment 1. For details, please refer to Embodiment 1. Figures 8-10 This is a schematic diagram of this embodiment.

[0087] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 The rear suspension plate 52 has an outer support portion 531 with a radius greater than the minimum radius r1 at the downstream end of the blade flow channel 6, and an inner support portion 532 with a radius less than r1. Figure 8 The dashed line L-R2 in the diagram illustrates the approximate boundary between the outer branch 531 and the inner branch 532. (Example 1) Figure 7 The dashed line L-R1 indicates the approximate boundary between the outer support portion 531 and the inner support portion 532. The rear mounting component 42 is at least fixed to the inner support portion 532. By setting the inner support portion 532 to mount the rear mounting component 42, the axial space occupied by the rear suspension plate 52 on the rotating shaft 3 can be reduced, facilitating a reduction in the length of the rotating shaft 3. This reduces material usage, lowering the overall weight and cost of the axial flow fan 1000; furthermore, it allows for a more compact axial dimension of the axial flow fan 1000. The radius of the outer support portion 531 in the rear suspension plate 52 is greater than or equal to the minimum radius of the downstream end of the blade assembly 2, providing strong guidance for the fluid flowing out from the blade assembly 2. The rear suspension plate 52 can be configured with only the outer support portion 531. For example... Figure 12 In the corresponding embodiment, the rear suspension plate 52 does not have an inner support portion 532.

[0088] like Figure 8The rear suspension support plate 52 has a front part 541 and a rear part 542 connected to each other along the Z direction. The front edge of the rear suspension support plate 52 is formed by the front part 541, and the tail edge of the rear suspension support plate 52 is formed by the rear part 542. The front part 541 is curved, and the thickness T of the rear part 542 gradually decreases along the Z direction. The rear part 542 is arranged to reduce the wake of the fluid flowing through the rear suspension support plate 52, thereby reducing flow loss and noise. Figure 8 The L-Z2 in FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the approximate boundary between the front part 541 and the rear part 542. Figure 7 The L-Z1 in FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the approximate boundary between the front part 541 and the rear part 542. Figure 8 In Table 1, the various parts of the rear suspension support plate 52 are defined by abbreviations.

[0089] Table 1, rear suspension support plate 52 part division

[0090] Middle portion of rear suspension support plate 52 Abbreviation Front portion 541 in outer support portion 531 First portion 521 Rear portion 542 in outer support portion 531 Second portion 522 Inner support portion 532 Third portion 523

[0091] Figure 9 The rear suspension support plate 52 is arranged in the axial flow fan 1000 Figure 8 The A-A, B-B, and C-C in FIG. 1 are schematic diagrams of the corresponding equal-radius surfaces of the rear suspension support plate 52. The A-A is a part with a radius greater than r1, the B-B is a position with a radius equal to r1, and the C-C is a position with a radius less than r1. The outline of the rear mounting part 42 is shown by the dashed line L2. The equal-radius surface is a virtual cylindrical surface with the axis of the axial flow fan 1000 as the axis. The axial flow fan 1000 has an infinite number of equal-radius surfaces.

[0092] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 8 , Figure 9 The windward surface 551 and the leeward surface 552 of the first part 521 are both convex and curved toward the leeward surface 552. When the fluid with negative residual velocity flows through the front part 541, the flow direction can gradually deflect to approach the axial direction, reducing the deflection of the fluid relative to the axial direction, recovering the residual velocity of the fluid, and improving the efficiency of the axial flow fan 1000. The direction in which the radius gradually increases in the radial direction of the axial flow fan 1000 is defined as the second direction. The first part 521 is arranged to have a gradually increasing degree of curvature along the second direction, so that the flow rate gradually increases from the root to the tip. After the fluid with gradually increasing flow rate flows through the front part 541, the flow rate is relatively uniform. The side of the rear suspension support plate 52 close to the rear mounting part 42 is the root, and the side close to the housing 1 is the tip. The degree of curvature can be understood as the dimension along the W direction. For example, in different equal-radius surfaces, the greater the total dimension of the first part 521 along the W direction, the greater the degree of curvature, Figure 9The bending degree of the first portion 521 at B-B is less than that at A-A. Further, in order to achieve the same output, the rotational speed of the axial flow fan 1000 can be reduced to improve the efficiency of the axial flow fan 1000, thereby reducing the noise.

[0093] The solidity and average solidity are known concepts. The solidity of a blade can be understood as the chord length of the blade / the distance between two adjacent blades in a single row of blades. The average solidity can be understood as the average of the solidities at different radii. The rear suspension support plate 52 can be regarded as a kind of blade. In a preferred embodiment, there are multiple rear suspension support plates 52, which are uniformly arranged along the axial direction. See Figure 3 ; further, the average solidity of the rear suspension support plate 52 is greater than or equal to 0.7, so that the rear suspension support plate 52 is arranged densely enough to ensure that the residual velocity recovery effect of the rear suspension support plate 52 is good enough. When the average solidity of the rear suspension support plate 52 is greater than or equal to 1, the effect is better.

[0094] In a preferred embodiment, the outlet angle β4 of the stationary blade 22 is between 0° and 40°, so that the fluid generates a large pre-rotation at the outlet of the upper stationary blade 22 and then flows to the lower moving blade 21, thereby improving the efficiency of the axial flow fan 1000 and achieving a good residual velocity recovery effect through the rear suspension support plate 52. Further, when the outlet angle β4 of the stationary blade 22 is between 5° and 20°, the residual velocity recovery effect of the rear suspension support plate 52 is better.

[0095] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 , the radii of the root portion and the tip portion of the front portion 541 are equal to the minimum radius r1 and the maximum radius r2 of the downstream end of the blade passage 6, respectively, so that the rear suspension support plate 52 can recover the residual velocity of the incoming flow in the blade passage 6, thereby further improving the efficiency of the axial flow fan 1000.

[0096] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 , L-Z2 can be regarded as the trailing edge profile of the front portion 541. The axial coordinate of L-Z2 increases with the increase of the radius, i.e., the trailing edge profile point of the front portion 541 is closer to the outlet of the axial flow fan 1000 with the increase of the radius, which is shown as the inclination of L-Z2 to the right in Figure 8 . In this way, the length of the front portion 541 along the axial direction gradually increases with the increase of the radius to facilitate the bending arrangement, so that the fluid flows more smoothly. For example Figure 9 , at A-A and B-B, the front portion 541 at A-A has a larger radius and a larger axial coordinate of L-Z2, so that the front portion 541 is longer and the bending degree is larger and changes more smoothly.

[0097] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 8, the front edge of the L-Z2 is convexly curved away from the rear suspension support plate 52. In other embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 , the trailing edge profile L-Z1 of the front portion 541 in the rear suspension support plate 52 can be straightly inclined towards the outlet of the axial flow fan 1000.

[0098] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 , Figure 9 , the front portion 541 and the rear portion 542 can be connected to make the axial dimension of the rear suspension support plate 52 compact and facilitate the axial demolding.

[0099] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 9 , the absolute value of the profile tangent slope of the windward surface 551 of the second portion 522 in the equi-radius surface gradually increases along the first direction, and the same applies to the leeward surface 552; in other embodiments, it can gradually increase or remain unchanged to form a natural demolding angle to facilitate axial demolding.

Figure 11The leeward face 552 of the upper rear suspension support plate 52 faces the windward face 551 of the lower rear suspension support plate 52, and the line L-S2 connecting the tail edge point of the leeward face 552 of the first part 521 of the upper rear suspension support plate 52 and the leading edge point of the first part 521 of the lower rear suspension support plate 52 is used as a parting line, and the slope of the line L-S2 at any point on the equal radius surface is positive; a mold is arranged upstream of the line L-S2, and the mold is pulled out in the reverse direction of the Z direction, and the pulling-out angle of the mold is between the absolute value of the included angle between the line L5 and the axial direction and the absolute value of the included angle between the tangent line at the point with the minimum slope of the tangent line of the line L-S2 and the axial direction, and S3 is a pulling-out direction during the pulling-out process; another mold is arranged downstream of the line L-S2, and the mold is pulled out in the direction S4, and the direction S4 is the same as the Z direction; thus, the outer support part can be obtained. Further, the direction S4 can be parallel to the Z direction.
