Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ventilation and purification, and in particular to an energy-saving purification fume hood. Background Art

[0002] Cleanroom fume hoods are essential lab equipment used to control the spread of harmful gases and ensure operator safety. Their operating principle is typically to maintain clean laboratory air by driving air through the operating port through a fan and exhausting it through an internal purification system.

[0003] The laboratory environment has strict requirements on air quality, especially when dealing with harmful gases or volatile chemicals. To ensure the continuous purification and safety of the air in the laboratory, existing fume hoods mostly use continuous electricity to drive the fan operation. Especially when entering the standby state after the experiment, if the fan is still kept running, it will cause a large waste of energy; if the fan is turned off directly, it may cause the residual harmful gases in the cabinet to be unable to be discharged, affecting the safety of the experimental environment. To solve the above problems, some fume hoods use variable frequency control or low power consumption mode to reduce energy consumption, but still need to provide continuous electricity to drive the fan operation, and the energy saving effect is limited. At the same time, the existing equipment lacks an effective backup ventilation mechanism after the main fan is turned off, making it difficult to achieve a balance between safety and energy saving.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to propose an energy-saving purification fume hood that can reduce power consumption while ensuring ventilation effect and improve the intelligence and sustainability of the equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the gear ring frame is engaged with the clasp, the gear ring frame restricts the clasp to rotate in one direction only toward the direction of storing force in the elastic spring.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] Although the present invention may be described with respect to a specific application or industry, those skilled in the art will recognize the broader applicability of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will recognize that terms such as "above," "below," "upwardly," "downwardly," and the like are used to describe the drawings and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims. Any numerical designations such as "first" or "second" are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way.

[0028] Example 1: An energy-saving clean fume hood, such as Figures 1-6As shown, it includes a fume hood 1, the top of the fume hood 1 is connected to an exhaust duct 2, a fan 3 is installed on the lower side of the exhaust duct 2, a support rod 4 is fixedly connected to the exhaust duct 2, the support rod 4 is located above the fan 3, and a fan 5 is rotatably connected to the middle of the support rod 4. The axis of the fan 3 and the fan 5 are both fixedly connected to a rotating rod 6, and the end surfaces of the two rotating rods 6 that are close to each other are provided with circumferentially distributed protrusions, and the end surfaces of the protrusions are set as guide inclined surfaces 601. A spring box 7 is fixedly connected to the exhaust duct 2, and the spring box 7 is located between the fan 3 and the fan 5. An elastic spring 701 is wound in the spring box 7. The middle rotation of the clockwork box 7 is connected to the rotating shaft 702, the elastic clockwork 701 is fixed to the rotating shaft 702, and the upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 702 are fixed to the turntable 8. The turntable 8 is connected to a magnetic baffle 9 that slides in the up and down directions. The magnetic baffle 9 slides and contacts the adjacent rotating rod 6 under the action of magnetic repulsion. The rotating rod 6 drives the magnetic baffle 9 to rotate through the protrusion thereon. A spring 10 is fixed between the magnetic baffle 9 and the adjacent turntable 8. The upper and lower sides of the clockwork box 7 are fixed with electromagnets 11, and the electromagnet 11 cooperates with the adjacent magnetic baffle 9 through repulsive magnetic forces.

[0029] During the experiment, the fume hood 1 uses electric energy to drive the main fan 3 on the lower side to start purification and ventilation normally, and at the same time stores energy through the elastic spring 701. When the main fan 3 is in standby mode, the energy of the elastic spring 701 is released, and the mechanical energy is used to drive the standby fan on the upper side to ventilate at a slow speed. In this way, the safety of the laboratory is guaranteed during standby mode, and energy conservation and environmental protection are also achieved. The specific operation is as follows:

[0030] During the experiment, the fume hood 1 is turned on, and the fan 3 on the lower side is controlled to be powered on and rotated, blowing the wind from the bottom to the top and discharging it from the exhaust pipe 2, thus achieving rapid ventilation and purification. The fan 3 on the lower side drives the rotating rod 6 on it to rotate synchronously, and at the same time controls the electromagnet 11 on the lower side to be energized, so that the magnetic baffle 9 on the lower side slides downward and contacts the upper end surface of the rotating rod 6 on the lower side. The spring 10 on the lower side is compressed, and thus the rotating rod 6 on the lower side drives the magnetic baffle 9 on the lower side to rotate through the protrusion thereon, thereby driving the turntable 8 on the lower side to rotate, and then driving the rotating shaft 702 to rotate, applying torque to the elastic spring 701, causing it to undergo elastic deformation. As the elastic spring 701 is further wound, its internal stress increases and is stored in the form of elastic potential energy. When the elastic spring 701 is deformed to the limit, the raised guide inclined surface 601 of the lower rotating rod 6 intermittently squeezes the magnetic baffle 9 on the lower side to jump up and down.

[0031] When the experiment is completed, the fan 3 on the lower side is controlled to be powered off and stop rotating, and the electromagnet 11 on the lower side is controlled to be powered off. The spring 10 on the lower side is reset to drive the magnetic barrier rod 9 on the lower side to slide upward and separate from the upper end surface of the lower rotating rod 6. At the same time, the electromagnet 11 on the upper side is controlled to be energized. The magnetic repulsion force causes the magnetic barrier rod 9 on the upper side to slide upward and contact the lower end surface of the upper rotating rod 6. The spring 10 on the upper side is compressed. At this time, the elastic spring 701 generates a reverse torque, slowly and steadily releasing the stored energy, thereby driving the rotating shaft 702 to reverse, and then driving the upper turntable 8 to reverse, and then through the upper magnetic barrier rod 9 to move the protrusion of the upper rotating rod 6, so that the upper rotating rod 6 drives the upper spare fan 5 to reverse. Since the upper fan 5 and the fan blades of the lower fan 3 are in opposite directions, although it is reversed, the wind is still blown from bottom to top, thus achieving slow ventilation and purification.

[0032] In summary, the present invention stores the energy that might be wasted when the main fan 3 is running (such as part of the motor kinetic energy) in the form of mechanical energy through a spring, and releases it after the main fan 3 is deactivated to drive the backup fan 5 to run at a slow speed. No additional power input is required, and a certain degree of energy recycling is achieved. This can maintain the basic ventilation or circulation function of the system after the main fan 3 is shut down, preventing ventilation interruption, and is particularly suitable for transition or emergency scenarios of purification systems that have certain maintenance requirements for airflow or temperature.

[0033] And through the cooperation of the electromagnet 11 and the spring 10, automatic switching between the main fan 3 and the backup fan 5 is achieved, which is easy to operate and does not require manual intervention, thereby improving the intelligence level of the system.

[0034] Example 2: Based on Example 1, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a snap ring 12, which is fixed to the turntable 8 on the lower side. The middle of the spring box 7 is slidably connected to a gear ring frame 13 in the up and down directions. The gear ring frame 13 is engaged with the snap ring 12. At this time, the gear ring frame 13 limits the snap ring 12 to only rotate in one direction in the direction of the elastic spring 701 storing power. The upper side of the gear ring frame 13 is fixed with a magnetic frame 14 symmetrically distributed along the left and right sides of the gear ring frame 13. The magnetic frame 14 cooperates with the adjacent electromagnet 11 through repulsive magnetic forces to drive the gear ring frame 13 to slide upward to release the meshing state of the gear ring frame 13 and the snap ring 12, thereby allowing the elastic spring 701 to release energy.

[0035] After the elastic spring 701 is deformed to the limit, each time the magnetic blocking rod 9 on the lower side jumps up and down after passing a protrusion, the elastic spring 701 must be relaxed and tightened (i.e., the process of tightening and releasing). Repeatedly doing this may cause material fatigue and elastic attenuation of the elastic spring 701, thereby affecting its energy storage efficiency. Therefore, the retaining ring 12 is restricted by the gear ring frame 13, so that the lower turntable 8 can only rotate forward and cannot reverse, so that the rotating shaft 702 cannot reverse, and then the elastic spring 701 cannot relax, which has a preventive effect. When the lower turntable 8 rotates forward, it drives the retaining ring 12 to rotate forward and squeezes the gear ring frame 13 to slide upward.

[0036] When the upper electromagnet 11 is energized, the upper electromagnet 11 pushes the magnetic frame 14 upward through magnetic repulsion, thereby pulling the gear ring frame 13 upward to disengage from the retaining ring 12, so as not to affect the energy release of the elastic spring 701.

[0037] Example 3: Based on Example 2, Figure 9 As shown, it also includes a conical exhaust cover 15, which is fixed to the rotating rod 6 on the side close to the fan 3, and disperses the wind discharged by the fan 3 along the outer side of the exhaust cover 15 to prevent the wind from accidentally pushing the magnetic frame 14 to move upward.

[0038] While the present disclosure has been described with respect to only a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art, having benefit of this disclosure, will appreciate that numerous other embodiments can be devised without departing from the scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention should be limited only by the claims appended hereto.
