Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of axial flow fans, in particular to an ultra-low noise axial flow fan with a muffler. Background Art

[0002] Axial flow fans are widely used in industrial ventilation, HVAC systems, and large equipment cooling due to their high air volume and moderate air pressure. However, the aerodynamic noise (such as airflow turbulence caused by rotating blades) and mechanical vibration noise generated during operation can impact the working environment and the lives of surrounding residents. With increasing environmental protection requirements and noise control standards, "ultra-low noise" has become a key development direction for axial flow fans.

[0003] To achieve the goal of ultra-low noise, the existing technology generally installs a silencer at the air outlet of the axial flow fan, absorbs medium and high frequency noise by filling the interior with porous sound-absorbing materials (such as glass wool and polyester fiber), and weakens low frequency noise with a resistant structure, thereby greatly reducing the noise radiation of the air outlet. However, the sound absorption effect of the silencer is highly dependent on the integrity of the internal sound-absorbing material. During long-term operation, the material will experience fiber shedding, pore blockage or aging and deterioration due to factors such as high-speed airflow scouring, dust erosion, and temperature and humidity changes, resulting in a gradual attenuation of the sound absorption performance. At present, the silencers of existing axial flow fans lack effective detection methods for the status of the internal sound-absorbing materials. Since the silencer is usually a closed structure, it is difficult to directly observe or monitor the loss of the material. The silencer can only be disassembled for inspection after the overall noise of the fan has increased significantly. At this time, the material is often severely damaged, which not only affects the ultra-low noise performance of the fan, but may also cause noise to exceed the standard due to the failure of the silencer, and may even require shutdown for maintenance, causing production delays.

[0004] Therefore, an ultra-low noise axial flow fan with a muffler is proposed. Summary of the Invention

Although the sound pressure is small, by optimizing the mass, area and mechanical friction of the piston (such as using low-resistance guide rails and lightweight materials), the sound pressure fluctuations can be converted into observable lifting displacements]. The top of the sound pressure piston 83 is fixedly provided with a piston rod 84 extending to the outside of the muffler housing 6, and the rod wall of the piston rod 84 is sleeved with a spring 85, and the two ends of the spring 85 are respectively fixedly connected to the top of the sound pressure piston 83 and the top inner wall of the piston cylinder 82; the rod wall of the piston rod 84 is provided with scale lines, which makes it convenient for staff to observe the extended length of the two piston rods 84, and an airflow baffle 86 is fixed at the bottom opening of the piston cylinder 82, which can prevent the airflow from directly impacting the sound pressure piston 83 and only allow sound pressure fluctuations to be transmitted to the surface of the sound pressure piston 83.

[0024] In summary, when in use, after the motor 2 is started, the output end drives the drive shaft 5 to rotate, thereby driving the blades 3 fixed to the shaft wall of the drive shaft 5 to rotate at high speed. When the blades 3 rotate, they push the air to form a directional airflow, and the airflow enters from the air inlet of the fan housing 1. The protective net 13 at the air inlet can prevent external debris from entering the fan, thereby preventing the blades 3 from being damaged. One side of the fan casing 1 is fixedly connected to the muffler casing 6 by a bolt assembly 12, and the air flow enters the muffler casing 6 through the fan casing 1 for noise reduction treatment. The noise reduction mechanism 7 inside the muffler casing 6 is the core noise reduction component, wherein the annular fixing plate 71 stably fixes the noise reduction bed 72 in the noise reduction casing 6. The noise reduction bed 72 consists of a bed body 721 and a bed cover 722, and the two are detachably connected by the cooperation of a threaded ring 723 and a threaded groove, so as to facilitate the later replacement of the internal noise reduction material layer 73. The noise reduction material layer 73 is filled between the bed body 721 and the bed cover 722. The through holes 724 opened on the side walls of the bed body 721 and the bed cover 722 provide a channel for sound waves to enter the noise reduction material layer 73 so that the sound waves are absorbed by the material. The air guide cover 74 of the noise reduction bed 72 facing the side of the fan casing 1 is trumpet-shaped, and its open side is fixed to the inner wall of the muffler casing 6, which can guide the air flow to smoothly enter the noise reduction bed 72, thereby reducing the secondary noise caused by air flow turbulence. In order to monitor the sound-absorbing effect of the sound-absorbing material layer 73, a noise detection mechanism 8 is provided on the inner wall of the top of the muffler shell 6 and on both sides of the muffler mechanism 7. A fixing rod 81 suspends and fixes the piston cylinder 82. The sound pressure piston 83 inside the piston cylinder 82 can slide up and down under the action of sound pressure. The piston rod 84 at the top of the sound pressure piston 83 extends to the outside of the muffler shell 6. The scale lines on its rod wall can intuitively display the displacement changes. The airflow baffle 86 at the bottom opening of the piston cylinder 82 can prevent the airflow from directly impacting the sound pressure piston 83 and only allow sound pressure fluctuations to be transmitted to the surface of the sound pressure piston 83. A spring 85 is sleeved on the piston rod 84, and its two ends are respectively connected to the top of the sound pressure piston 83 and the inner wall of the top of the piston cylinder 82, which can assist the sound pressure piston 83 in resetting when the sound pressure changes. By comparing the displacement difference of the sound pressure pistons 83 on both sides of the muffler mechanism 7, the degree of loss of the sound-absorbing material layer 73 can be judged. In addition, a filter screen 9 is provided on one side of the muffler housing 6 near the fan housing 1, which is used to filter dust and impurities in the airflow to prevent them from clogging the pores of the sound-absorbing material layer 73. A cleaning mechanism 10 is provided on one side of the filter screen 9. One end of the drive shaft 5 drives the cleaning mechanism 10 to work through the speed reduction transmission mechanism 11. In the speed reduction transmission mechanism 11, the support rod 111 supports the box body 112, and the drive shaft 5 extends into the box body 112 and drives the first small gear 113 to rotate. The first small gear 113 is engaged with the first large gear 115 on the transmission shaft 114, so that the transmission shaft 114 rotates at a lower speed. The second small gear 116 on the transmission shaft 114 is engaged with the second large gear 117 on the rotating shaft 102, and drives the rotating shaft 102 to rotate after further speed reduction. The cleaning brush 101 on the rotating shaft 102 rotates accordingly to clean the surface of the filter screen 9 to ensure its filtering effect.
