[0023] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings. However, it should not be understood that the scope of the above subject matter of the present invention is limited to the following embodiments, and all technologies realized based on the content of the present invention belong to the scope of the present invention.
[0024] Example
[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 , a large air volume dust-proof fan structure with a Gurney flap, comprising:
[0026] Shell assembly 1;
[0027] A rotor assembly, the rotor assembly comprising a rotor shaft 2, a rotor sleeve 3, a magnetic steel 4 and a rotor blade 5, the rotor shaft 2 being mounted on a housing assembly 1 of a fan structure via a bearing 16, the rotor sleeve 3 and the rotor blade 5 being coaxially mounted on the rotor shaft 2, the magnetic steel 4 being fixed in the rotor sleeve 3, and the rotor blade 5 being provided with a Gurney flap 6, the Gurney flap 6 being a protruding structure vertically arranged along the trailing edge of the rotor blade 5;
[0028] The stator assembly 7 is fixedly installed in the housing assembly 1 , and the stator assembly 7 is coaxially matched with the magnetic steel 4 .
[0029] In this embodiment, a Gurney flap 6 is added to the fan rotor blade 5, so that the fan can more effectively guide the airflow during operation and reduce eddy loss, thereby improving the efficiency and air volume of the fan, significantly improving the airflow characteristic indicators of the fan, and can also effectively reduce the lag effect of the oscillating airfoil aerodynamic load and reduce the noise generated during the operation of the fan, thereby improving the acoustic characteristics of the fan.
[0030] In this embodiment, the rotor sleeve 3 and the rotor shaft 2 are fitted with interference fit and laser welding to further improve the rotor structural strength; when assembling the fan product, the original spring is replaced with an adjustment gasket to reduce the assembly preload, increase the rotation speed, reduce the current, and improve the efficiency of the fan.
[0031] In this embodiment, an annular extension portion 8 is provided on the rotor assembly, and the extension portion 8 is arranged at a position close to the root of the rotor blade 5, and the extension portion 8 is coaxially arranged with the rotor shaft 2. The extension portion 8 extends axially to a position that matches the clearance of the inner wall of the shell assembly 1, so that the rotor assembly and the shell assembly 1 are enclosed to form a dustproof isolation area 9. Under the premise of ensuring the normal operation of the rotor assembly, it can effectively prevent dust and particulate matter from entering the interior of the rotor assembly, thereby improving the dustproof ability of the product in harsh environments and improving the service life of the fan.
[0032] In this embodiment, weight-reducing holes 10 are provided on the rotor sleeve 3. By designing the structure and arrangement range of the weight-reducing holes 10, it is possible to achieve the purpose of reducing weight without affecting the overall performance of the fan. While maintaining the high-efficiency operation of the fan, it can also reduce energy consumption and extend the service life, thereby meeting the dual demands of modern industry for fan performance and economy.
[0033] In this embodiment, a dynamic balancing slot 11 is opened on the rotor blade 5, and the dynamic balancing slot 11 is used to insert a dynamic balancing adjustment plate 12. By designing the dynamic balancing slot 11, the dynamic balancing accuracy of the product rotor is further improved, and the blade can achieve a better balanced state when rotating at high speed, reducing vibration caused by imbalance and ensuring the stability of product operation.
[0034] In this embodiment, the installation angle of the rotor blade 5 ranges from 29° to 33°, and the installation angle θ is the angle between the outer chord line L2 of the blade profile at the root of the rotor blade 5 and the cascade front line L1. In this embodiment, based on the initial design installation angle of 31° at the root of the rotor blade 5, the installation angle at the root of the rotor blade 5 is reduced by 2°, increased by 2°, and increased by 3° using 3D modeling software, respectively, to obtain fan models with installation angles of 29°, 33°, and 34°, respectively. By testing the fan blade models with different installation angles (29°, 31°, 33°, and 34°), the rotation noise data of the fan blades with different installation angles are obtained as shown in Table 1.
[0035] Table 1 Data of fan blade rotation noise at different installation angles
[0036] Installation angle 29° 31° 33° 34° noise 41.6 42.8 41.4 42.5
[0037] It can be seen from the test data in Table 1 that when the installation angle θ changes, the fundamental frequency spectrum of the rotational noise remains unchanged, the noise value at the fundamental frequency does not change much, and the peak noise at the high frequency gradually weakens. Since the change in the blade installation angle mainly affects the distribution of eddy currents on the blade surface, the impact on the eddy current noise is also relatively large. After the installation angle increases, the eddy current noise gradually becomes stable from violent fluctuations, and the noise at the medium and high frequencies also decreases; but when the installation angle increases to a certain extent, the fluctuation of the eddy current noise is more obvious, and the noise in the medium frequency band increases. According to the test results, this embodiment selects a blade with an installation angle of 33°, and the noise is reduced by about 1.4dB.
[0038] In this embodiment, the magnetic steel 4 is fixedly installed in the rotor sleeve 3, and the rotor sleeve 3 is provided with a magnetic steel 4 limiting component at the installation position corresponding to the magnetic steel 4, which can ensure that the magnetic steel 4 is consistent with the position of the Hall element when assembled, thereby improving the consistency of product quality.
[0039] In this embodiment, an end cover 13 is further included. A shaft sleeve 14 is fixedly mounted on the end cover 13 . The shaft sleeve 14 extends into the inner cavity of the rotor sleeve 3 . The bearing 16 is installed in the shaft sleeve 14 to ensure stable rotation of the rotor sleeve 3 .
[0040] The stator assembly 7 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the shaft sleeve 14, and an anti-rotation keyway 15 is provided between the stator assembly 7 and the shaft sleeve 14 to ensure reliable circumferential positioning of the stator after installation.
[0041] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
