TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of airflow elements, in particular to a centrifugal fan with a three-dimensional flow impeller and a method of using the same. BACKGROUND
[0002] The traditional centrifugal fan impeller is a product designed using two-dimensional technology theory, but with the development of technology and the increasing demand for efficiency, the traditional centrifugal fan two-dimensional design theory has obvious limitations and shortcomings in terms of design accuracy, efficiency improvement, adaptability, maintenance convenience, and noise control.
[0003] During operation, the centrifugal fan impeller will face various losses, which have a significant impact on the efficiency and noise of the fan, and may also cause wear and failure of the equipment. In particular, for the volute structure of the centrifugal fan, fluid algorithm control is usually used to control the design of the volute curvature to ensure that the corresponding volute curvature can ensure that the airflow effectively enters the air outlet under the expected wind speed condition, avoiding the generation of turbulence and vortex, while ensuring airflow concentration. However, in actual use, most centrifugal fans now use variable frequency motors for driving to output different power outputs under different working conditions, which causes the volute curvature to be incompatible with the change in wind speed.

[0017] A method of using a centrifugal fan with a three-dimensional impeller includes:
[0018] S1. Design the output power thresholds Pmax and Pmin of the variable frequency motor. Then, based on the thrust Fb generated by the airflow at the air outlet on the memory metal plate under different working conditions of Pmax and Pmin, design the magnetic strength of the first and second strong magnetic components and the tension Fa of the traction spring.
[0019] S2. When the output power of the variable frequency motor is greater than Pmax, it is the "strong wind mode". At this time, the airflow thrust Fb can overcome the tension Fa of the traction spring and the magnetic force of the second strong magnet and the connecting part, so that the memory metal plate is tightly attached to the side wall of the volute air guide plate.

At this time, the overall air outlet turns quickly with "large curvature", making the airflow more concentrated.
[0021] S4. When the output power of the variable frequency motor is between Pmin and Pmax, the memory metal plate maintains its current state.
[0022] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows:
[0023] 1. This centrifugal fan with a three-dimensional impeller, by installing a variable airflow guide on the inner wall of the fan casing, when the wind speed increases to above the preset wind speed, the shape memory metal plate is tightly attached to the inner wall of the volute guide plate and is attracted and fixed by the first strong magnetic component. At this time, the curvature of the flow channel inside the entire fan casing is at its maximum design range, and the strong airflow smoothly and slowly transitions along the inner wall of the shape memory metal plate to the air outlet for discharge, effectively avoiding eddies and airflow howling. When the wind speed decreases to below the preset wind speed, the entire shape memory metal plate deforms inward, thereby forming a guide channel with a larger curvature between the volute guide plate and the shape memory metal plate, allowing the low-speed airflow to pass through the guide quickly and be discharged from the air outlet, thus making the exhaust air more concentrated and avoiding the formation of backflow turbulence at the air outlet.
[0024] 2. This centrifugal fan with a three-dimensional impeller has a sealing fold that moves tightly against the inner wall of the sealing cover plate. The outer surface of the sealing fold is formed with a sealing and noise reduction layer through a rubber coating process. This prevents air leakage at low wind speeds and avoids friction and noise generation when the shape memory metal plate moves.
[0025] 3. The method of using the centrifugal fan with a three-dimensional impeller is based on the preset wind speed variation to design the magnetic strength of the first and second strong magnets and the tension Fa of the traction spring. This ensures that at high wind speeds, the shape memory metal plate can adhere tightly to the inner wall of the volute guide plate to form an effective fit; at low wind speeds, the shape memory metal plate can deform to a preset state under the traction of the traction spring and be fixed by magnetic attraction, avoiding vibration of the shape memory metal plate caused by small wind speed changes.

The bottom end of the variable air outlet guide 5 moves toward the inner wall of the fan volute 1, thereby pulling the variable air outlet guide 5 to bend and deform, thereby adjusting the curvature of the air outlet of the fan volute 1 to a preset value.
[0052] The variable airflow guide 5 includes a shape memory metal plate 51 and connecting parts 53 fixedly welded to both sides of the bottom end of the shape memory metal plate 51.

The top end of the shape memory metal plate 51 is fixedly welded to the inner wall of the volute-shaped air guide plate 12. The connecting parts 53 are slidably disposed on the inner side wall of the sealing cover plate 11.

The sealing edge 56 is attached to the inner wall of the sealing cover plate 11, and the outer surface of the sealing edge 56 is formed with a sealing and noise reduction layer by a rubber coating process. A self-resetting component 6 is fixedly welded to the bottom outer wall of the sealing cover plate 11, and the connecting part 53 is pulled and reset by the self-resetting component 6.

[0055] A second strong magnet 63 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sealed chamber, and a first strong magnet 57 is fixedly welded to the inner wall of the bottom end of the volute air guide plate 12. The bottom of the connecting part 53 and the memory metal plate 51 are both magnetized so that the second strong magnet 63 is magnetically attracted to the connecting part 53 and the first strong magnet 57 is magnetically attracted to the bottom of the memory metal plate 51.
[0056] An air inlet 16 is provided on a set of sealing cover plates 11. An air inlet cover 3 is fixedly welded to the outside of the air inlet 16. A variable frequency motor 4 is fixedly installed on another set of sealing cover plates 11. One side of the three-dimensional flow impeller body 2 is fixedly connected to the output end of the variable frequency motor 4, and the other side of the three-dimensional flow impeller body 2 faces the air inlet cover 3.

A guide vane 15 is arranged in a ring on the outer side of the bearing 14. The guide vane 15 is fixedly welded to the sealing cover plate 11 so that the airflow flows along the volute guide plate 12 towards the air outlet 13.
[0060] Working Principle: This centrifugal fan with a three-dimensional flow impeller generates its centrifugal fan by controlling the volute curvature of the fan casing 1 using an exponential spiral equation. A baffle 52 is installed near the outlet 13 of the fan casing 1 to suppress the generation of outflow vortices. The three-dimensional flow impeller body 2 contains multiple blades 23 arranged in a ring array. The shape of each blade 23 is designed using multiple control curves and control equations. There are 13 blades in total, and their spatial profile is generated by fitting multiple control curves. The entire fan is manufactured using a 4-axis precision machining fixture with a hot-pressing process, achieving a three-coordinate measurement accuracy of less than 0.4mm. After extensive simulation calculations, the final technical solution was determined. This three-dimensional flow impeller body 2 is suitable for medium and high-speed applications. High-speed operation significantly reduces separation losses within the impeller flow channel; the inlet angle of attack gradually increases from the rear plate to the intermediate front, and the separation formed by the impact of the blade leading edge is symmetrical and uniform, reducing impact losses and preventing the secondary flow from fully forming. At the same time, the separation of the non-working blades 23 is also suppressed to a certain extent. The overall impeller efficiency is 2-3 percentage points higher than that of products with a two-dimensional design. The product has been simulated by CFD, and the highest efficiency exceeds 89%, which is better than the 86% requirement of the national first-level energy efficiency standard GB19761-2020. Meanwhile, the prototype product has an impeller diameter of 1200 mm and an experimental speed of 1492 rpm. The experimental efficiency reaches 90% at its highest point, which is better than the 87% requirement of the national first-level energy efficiency standard GB19761-2020.
[0061] Furthermore, this centrifugal fan with a three-dimensional impeller, by installing a variable airflow guide 5 on the inner wall of the fan casing 1, when the wind speed is increased to above the preset wind speed, the tangential thrust of the airflow acting on the shape memory metal plate 51 at the air outlet 13 is greater than the tension Fa of the traction spring 64 and the magnetic force of the second strong magnet 63 and the connecting part 53, thereby causing the connecting shaft 54 to slide upward along the inclined groove 62, and finally causing the shape memory metal plate 51 to be tightly attached to the inner wall of the volute guide plate 12, so that the bottom end of the shape memory metal plate 51 is attracted and fixed to the first strong magnet 57. At this time, the curvature of the flow channel inside the entire fan casing 1 is at the maximum design range. At this time, the strong airflow smoothly and slowly transitions along the inner wall of the shape memory metal plate 51 to the air outlet 13 for discharge, effectively avoiding the occurrence of eddies and airflow whistling.
[0062] When the wind speed drops below the preset wind speed, the tension Fa of the traction spring 64 is greater than the sum of the airflow thrust and the magnetic attraction of the first strong magnet 57 and the memory metal plate 51. At this time, the traction spring 64 contracts, pulling the connecting shaft 54 down along the inclined groove 62 to the bottom, so that the second strong magnet 63 is magnetically fixed to the connecting part 53, thereby causing the entire memory metal plate 51 to deform inward, so that the front part of the volute guide plate 12 and the memory metal plate 51 form a guide channel with a larger curvature, so that the low-speed airflow can quickly pass through the guide and be discharged from the air outlet 13, thereby making the exhaust air more concentrated and avoiding the formation of backflow turbulence at the air outlet 13.
[0063] Meanwhile, during the above process, the sealing fold 56 moves closely against the inner wall of the sealing cover plate 11. The outer surface of the sealing fold 56 is formed with a sealing and noise reduction layer through a rubber coating process, which prevents air leakage at low wind speeds and avoids friction noise when the shape memory metal plate 51 moves. At the same time, the flow guide baffle 52 on the shape memory metal plate 51 can play the role of airflow diversion. When the shape memory metal plate 51 is bent, the internal stress is released by the shearing opening 55, and the side deformation of the shape memory metal plate 51 can be effectively prevented.
[0064] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the present invention further proposes a method for using a centrifugal fan with a three-dimensional flow impeller, including:
[0065] S1. Design the output power thresholds Pmax and Pmin of the variable frequency motor 4. Then, based on the thrust Fb generated by the airflow at the air outlet 13 on the memory metal plate 51 under different working conditions of Pmax and Pmin, design the magnetic strength of the first strong magnet 57 and the second strong magnet 63, as well as the tension Fa of the traction spring 64.
[0066] S2. When the output power of the variable frequency motor 4 is greater than Pmax, it is in "strong wind mode". At this time, the airflow thrust Fb overcomes the tension Fa of the traction spring 64 and the magnetic force of the second strong magnet 63 and the connecting part 53, so that the memory metal plate 51 is tightly attached to the side wall of the volute air guide plate 12. At this time, the overall air outlet has a "small curvature" and a smooth transition, avoiding airflow vortex.
[0067] S3. When the output power of the variable frequency motor 4 is less than Pmin, it is in "weak wind mode". At this time, the tension Fa of the traction spring 64 is greater than the sum of the airflow thrust Fb and the magnetic attraction of the first strong magnet 57 and the memory metal plate 51, causing the memory metal plate 51 to bend and deform inward. At this time, the overall air outlet is in a "large curvature" and turns quickly, making the airflow more concentrated.
[0068] S4. When the output power of the variable frequency motor 4 is between Pmin and Pmax, the memory metal plate 51 maintains its current state.
[0069] Working principle: In this method, the magnetic strength of the first strong magnet 57 and the second strong magnet 63, as well as the tension Fa of the traction spring 64, are designed based on the preset wind speed intensity changes to affect the thrust value Fb generated by the shape memory metal plate 51. This ensures that at high wind speeds, the shape memory metal plate 51 can adhere tightly to the inner wall of the volute wind guide plate 12 to form an effective fit. At the same time, at low wind speeds, the shape memory metal plate 51 can deform to a preset state under the traction of the traction spring 64 and be fixed by magnetic attraction, avoiding vibration of the shape memory metal plate 51 caused by small wind speed changes.
[0070] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

The inner end of the inner air guide part (33) is outwardly expanding. The end of the inner air guide part (33) is integrally formed with an outer folded lip (34). An assembly flange ring (32) is fixedly welded to the outer wall of the inner air guide part (33). The assembly flange ring (32) is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the air inlet (16). A reinforcing rib plate (35) is fixedly welded between the assembly flange ring (32) and the air inlet flare (31).
8. A centrifugal fan with a three-dimensional flow impeller according to claim 7, characterized in that, The three-dimensional impeller body (2) includes a rear plate meridional acceleration guide (21) and a front plate (22). The blade (23) is fixedly welded between the rear plate meridional acceleration guide (21) and the front plate (22). The output shaft of the variable frequency motor (4) is coaxially fixed with the rear plate meridional acceleration guide (21). The front plate (22) is integrally formed with an inner folded lip (24) that is adapted to the outer folded lip (34), and the assembly gap between the outer folded lip (34) and the inner folded lip (24) is 3mm.
9. A centrifugal fan with a three-dimensional flow impeller according to claim 8, characterized in that, A bearing (14) is installed between the rear plate radial acceleration guide fluid (21) and a set of sealing cover plates (11). A guide vane (15) is arranged in an annular shape on the outer side of the bearing (14). The guide vane (15) is fixedly welded to the sealing cover plate (11) so that the airflow flows along the volute guide plate (12) towards the air outlet (13).
10. A method of using a centrifugal fan with a three-dimensional flow impeller, as described in any one of claims 1-9, characterized in that, include: S1. Design the output power thresholds Pmax and Pmin of the variable frequency motor (4), and then design the magnetic strength of the first strong magnetic component (57) and the second strong magnetic component (63) and the tension Fa of the traction spring (64) based on the thrust Fb generated by the airflow at the air outlet (13) on the memory metal plate (51) under different working conditions of Pmax and Pmin. S2. When the output power of the variable frequency motor (4) is greater than Pmax, it is a "strong wind mode". At this time, the airflow thrust Fb overcomes the tension Fa of the traction spring (64) and the magnetic force of the second strong magnet (63) and the connecting part (53), so that the memory metal plate (51) is tightly attached to the side wall of the volute air guide plate (12). At this time, the overall air outlet has a "small curvature" smooth transition to avoid airflow vortex. S3. When the output power of the variable frequency motor (4) is less than Pmin, it is a "weak wind mode". At this time, the tension Fa of the traction spring (64) is greater than the sum of the airflow thrust Fb and the magnetic attraction of the first strong magnetic component (57) and the memory metal plate (51), causing the memory metal plate (51) to bend and deform inward. At this time, the overall air outlet is in a "large curvature" and turns quickly, making the airflow more concentrated. S4. When the output power of the variable frequency motor (4) is between Pmin and Pmax, the memory metal plate (51) maintains its current state.
