[0006] Furthermore, the included angle change range between the flow guiding plate A and the flow guiding plate B is 15 degrees - 30 degrees to avoid sudden changes in flow velocity.

[0007] Furthermore, the tee pipe body is provided with a pipe body A, a pipe body B, and a pipe body C. The center line of the pipe body B or the pipe body C is distributed at an angle of 30 degrees - 45 degrees with the center line of the pipe body A.

[0008] Furthermore, the ratio of the radius on the center line of the three-way connection of the pipe body A, pipe body B, and pipe body C to the pipe diameter of the pipe body B or pipe body C is greater than or equal to 1.5.

[0009] Furthermore, the three-way pipe body is manufactured by a hydroforming process.

[0015] The advantages of the present invention are as follows: 1. The gas flow enters through the pipe body A in the three-way pipe body, and the gas is split through the pipe body B and pipe body C in the three-way pipe body and then flows out; when the air flow passes through the deflector A or deflector B, due to the decrease in the space between the deflector A or deflector B and the pipe body A, when the fluid flows through the reduced cross-section, the flow velocity of the air flow passing through the pipe body B or pipe body C is increased, thereby reducing the pressure loss; at the same time, the actuating motor is started, the actuating motor drives the connecting bracket to rotate, the connecting bracket drives the deflector A and deflector B to rotate, so that the cross-sectional area between the deflector A and the pipe body A or the cross-sectional area between the deflector B and the pipe body A changes, and the flow velocity of the air flow passing through the pipe body B or pipe body C changes. When the angle between the deflector A and the deflector B is fixed, if the cross-sectional area between the deflector A and the pipe body A increases, the cross-sectional area between the deflector B and the pipe body A decreases, and vice versa. When the cross-sectional area between the deflector A and the pipe body A increases, the flow velocity of the air flow passing through the pipe body B becomes relatively smaller; when the cross-sectional area between the deflector A and the pipe body A decreases, the flow velocity of the air flow passing through the pipe body B becomes relatively larger; similarly, when the cross-sectional area between the deflector B and the pipe body A increases, the flow velocity of the air flow passing through the pipe body C becomes relatively smaller; when the cross-sectional area between the deflector B and the pipe body A decreases, the flow velocity of the air flow passing through the pipe body C becomes relatively larger; at the same time, the actuating cylinder A is started, and the actuating cylinder A drives the articulated connecting rod A and the articulated connecting rod B to move through the connecting sleeve A, so that the angle between the deflector A and the deflector B changes; 2. Start the actuating cylinder B, and the actuating cylinder B drives the end plate B to rotate through the connecting rod B, so that the end plate B changes the cross-sectional area of the three-way pipe body, thereby adjusting the ventilation volume.

The connecting bracket 2-2 is rotatably installed on the tee pipe body 1, the actuating motor 2-1 is installed on the tee pipe body 1, the output shaft of the actuating motor 2-1 is installed on the connecting bracket 2-2, and the deflector A 2-3 and the deflector B 2-4 are rotatably installed on the connecting bracket 2-2. One end of the deflector A 2-3 is hingedly installed on one end of the hinged connecting rod A 2-5, the other end of the hinged connecting rod A 2-5 is hingedly installed on the connecting sleeve A 2-8, one end of the deflector B 2-4 is hingedly installed on one end of the hinged connecting rod B 2-6, the other end of the hinged connecting rod B 2-6 is hingedly installed on the connecting sleeve A 2-8, the connecting sleeve A 2-8 is installed on the output shaft of the actuating cylinder A 2-7, and the actuating cylinder A 2-7 is installed on the connecting bracket 2-2. With such a setting, the gas flow enters through the pipe A in the tee pipe body 1, and the gas is divided through the pipe B and the pipe C in the tee pipe body 1 and then the air flow flows out. When the air flow passes through the deflector A 2-3 or the deflector B 2-4, since the cross-section between the deflector A 2-3 or the deflector B 2-4 and the pipe A becomes smaller, when the fluid flows through the reduced cross-section, the flow rate of the air flow passing through the pipe B or the pipe C is increased, thus realizing the reduction of pressure loss. At the same time, start the actuating motor 2-1, the actuating motor 2-1 drives the connecting bracket 2-2 to rotate, the connecting bracket 2-2 drives the deflector A 2-3 and the deflector B 2-4 to rotate, so that the cross-sectional area between the deflector A 2-3 and the pipe A or the cross-sectional area between the deflector B 2-4 and the pipe A changes, and the flow rate of the air flow passing through the pipe B or the pipe C changes. When the included angle between the deflector A 2-3 and the deflector B 2-4 is fixed, if the cross-sectional area between the deflector A 2-3 and the pipe A increases, the cross-sectional area between the deflector B 2-4 and the pipe A decreases, and vice versa. When the cross-sectional area between the deflector A 2-3 and the pipe A increases, the flow rate of the air flow passing through the pipe B becomes relatively smaller; when the cross-sectional area between the deflector A 2-3 and the pipe A decreases, the flow rate of the air flow passing through the pipe B increases relatively. Similarly, when the cross-sectional area between the deflector B 2-4 and the pipe A increases, the flow rate of the air flow passing through the pipe C becomes relatively smaller; when the cross-sectional area between the deflector B 2-4 and the pipe A decreases, the flow rate of the air flow passing through the pipe C increases relatively.

The end plate B3-3 is fixedly installed on the connecting rod B3-2. With such a setting, when the actuating cylinder B3-1 is started, the actuating cylinder B3-1 drives the end plate B3-3 to rotate through the connecting rod B3-2, so that the end plate B3-3 changes, causing the cross-sectional area of the three-way pipe body 1 to change, thereby adjusting the ventilation volume.

[0021] Embodiment 3 As Figures 1-8 shown, the included angle range of the deflector A2-3 and the deflector B2-4 is 15 degrees - 30 degrees to avoid sudden changes in flow velocity.

[0022] Among them, the three-way pipe body 1 is provided with a pipe body A, a pipe body B, and a pipe body C. The center line of the pipe body B or the pipe body C is distributed at an angle of 30 degrees - 45 degrees with the center line of the pipe body A.

[0023] Among them, the ratio of the radius on the center line of the three-way of the pipe body A, the pipe body B, and the pipe body C to the pipe diameter of the pipe body B or the pipe body C is greater than or equal to 1.5.

[0024] Among them, the three-way pipe body 1 is manufactured by a hydroforming process.

[0025] Among them, the inner wall of the three-way pipe body 1 is polished or lined with a flexible material.
