Abstract
Description
A fan to prevent impeller loosening Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fans, and more particularly to a fan that prevents the impeller from loosening. Background Technology
[0002] Fans are key equipment in industrial production and environmental control systems, providing gas transport and pressurization. The reliable fixation of the impeller on the main shaft directly affects the stability and safety of the entire machine. Under long-term high-speed rotation and complex load conditions, ensuring the impeller is reliably fixed on the main shaft and preventing relative loosening or displacement is a core technical requirement for ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of the fan and avoiding catastrophic failures.
[0003] Traditional methods of preventing loosening of wind turbine impellers often rely on initial interference fits, key connections, or mechanical tightening with axial lock nuts. These static tightening methods suffer from gradually diminishing preload or stress relaxation under continuous vibration, periodic load changes, and potential thermal expansion differences between the shaft and impeller, leading to decreased reliability. Furthermore, the lack of an automatic locking mechanism linked to wind turbine operating conditions (such as speed) prevents dynamic compensation of the loosening force. In addition, vibrations and thermal loads at the drive end are easily transmitted directly to the impeller shaft system through rigid transmission components, potentially interfering with the stability of the fixed interface. Routine maintenance and inspection often require shutdown and disassembly, a cumbersome process that cannot provide real-time assessment of the locking status. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0025] Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] As shown in Figures 1 to 8, a fan designed to prevent impeller loosening has a main shaft 1 with a stepped shaft structure. The first shaft section is fitted to the hub hole of the impeller 2 via an interference fit or key connection. The second shaft section is supported in the bearing seat of the casing 3 via a support bearing assembly 602. The third shaft section is connected to the output shaft of the drive device 4 via a flexible coupling 601. When the drive device 4 is started, power is transmitted to the main shaft 1 via the flexible coupling 601, driving the main shaft 1, along with the impeller 2 and related components of the anti-loosening mechanism 5, to rotate. The impeller 2 is an integral structure including a hub and multiple blades. The hub has a mounting hole at its center that matches the first shaft section of the main shaft 1. The blades are circumferentially and radially fixed to the outer circumference of the hub. When the impeller 2 rotates, its hub provides a fixed foundation for the mounting base 5011, the blades push the airflow to generate wind pressure, and the centrifugal force generated by the rotation acts on the centrifugal slider 5012.
[0028] The housing 3 is configured as a volute or cylindrical structure, with an internal cavity accommodating the impeller 2. Air inlets and outlets are located on the side walls or ends. A maintenance window 301 is located on the wall of the housing 3 corresponding to the anti-loosening mechanism 5 or the impeller 2 hub area. A cover plate 302 is attached to the maintenance window 301 by bolts or snap-fit locking, and a sealing ring is sandwiched between the cover plate 302 and the window edge. The drive unit 4 is configured as an electric motor or turbine, its body fixedly mounted on the outside of the housing 3 or on an independent base via a base. The output shaft axis of the drive unit 4 is aligned with the axis of the main shaft 1.
[0029] The anti-loosening mechanism 5 is arranged around the assembly joint between the impeller 2 and the main shaft 1. In the centrifugal trigger assembly 501, the mounting base 5011 is set as an annular sleeve or multiple independent seats, which are fixed to the end face or inner hole step of the impeller 2 hub by screw fastening or welding; the centrifugal slider 5012 is set as a wedge-shaped block or a rectangular block, which is slidably nested in the inclined groove or guide hole opened in the mounting base 5011. The extension direction of the groove or guide hole forms an acute angle with the axial direction of the main shaft 1; that is, it forms an inclined setting, so that the centrifugal slider 5012 generates an axial component force under the action of centrifugal force.
[0030] In the axial locking assembly 502, the support seat 5021 is configured as an annular flange or end face boss, fixed to the shoulder of the main shaft 1 by interference fit or key connection, and adjacent to the end face of the impeller 2 hub. Its left side can serve as one of the axial positioning references of the impeller 2. The centrifugal pressure block 5022 can specifically be composed of a wedge-shaped drive block and a rectangular clamping block. The rectangular clamping block is located to the left of the wedge-shaped drive block and directly faces the end face of the impeller 2 hub. The centrifugal pressure block 5022 can be axially movable and accommodated in the groove or cavity of the support seat 5021 facing the impeller 2.
[0031] It should be noted that the sliding direction of the centrifugal slider 5012 is defined by the guide member 5013 as an inclined direction forming an acute angle with the axial direction of the main shaft 1. When the impeller 2 rotates, the radially outward centrifugal force acts on the centrifugal slider 5012. This centrifugal force can be decomposed along the inclined direction into a component force parallel to the guide member 5013 and a component force perpendicular to the guide member 5013. Among them, the component force parallel to the guide member 5013 drives the centrifugal slider 5012 to slide away from the center of the impeller 2 hub along the guide member 5013, while the component force perpendicular to the guide member 5013 is balanced by the side wall of the mounting base 5011. When the rotational speed decreases and the centrifugal force decreases, the elastic force of the reset member 5014 drives the centrifugal slider 5012 to slide back to its original position along the guide member 5013. This structural design directly utilizes the inclined guide to convert radial centrifugal force into driving force along the guide, eliminating the need for an additional inclined plane conversion structure. In the transmission isolation mechanism 6, the flexible coupling 601 is configured as an elastic sleeve pin coupling or diaphragm coupling, connected to the output shaft of the drive unit 4 and the third shaft section of the main shaft 1 respectively via keys and lock nuts, used to compensate for minor axial misalignment and absorb torsional vibration. The support bearing assembly 602 is configured as a pair of angular contact ball bearings or tapered roller bearings, with the outer ring of the bearing installed in the bearing seat hole of the housing 3, and the inner ring installed in the second shaft section of the main shaft 1. Bearing caps are provided at both ends of the bearing for axial positioning and sealing. The heat insulation sleeve 603 is a cylinder made of ceramic fiber or special alloy, interference-fitted onto the outer surface of the main shaft 1 section located between the impeller 2 and the flexible coupling 601.
[0032] In monitoring unit 7, sensor 701 is configured as an eddy current displacement sensor or an acceleration sensor. Sensor 701 is fixed to the bearing cover of housing 3 or a specially designed bracket via a threaded mounting base. The sensing probe of sensor 701 is axially or radially aligned with the designated monitoring surface of impeller 2 hub. Signal processor 702 is configured as a controller with an analog-to-digital converter and a communication interface. Signal processor 702 is installed in the control cabinet and connected to sensor 701 via a shielded cable.
[0033] The centrifugal slider 5012 and the centrifugal pressing block 5022 are connected by a transmission pin 8. The transmission pin 8 is a cylindrical pin, one end of which is tightly fitted into a pin hole on the side of the centrifugal slider 5012. The guide groove 5026 on the centrifugal pressing block 5022 is an elongated hole or an oblique channel, and the other end of the transmission pin 8 extends into this guide groove 5026. In the auxiliary locking assembly 9, the locking element 901 is a round nut, which engages with the external thread at the end of the main shaft 1. The anti-loosening element 902 is a pair of disc springs or wave spring washers placed opposite each other. The anti-loosening element 902 is sleeved on the main shaft 1 and located between the locking element 901 and the hub end face of the impeller 2. In the test assembly 10, the test rod 1001 is axially movable within the housing 3, with one end located outside the housing 3 and the other end extending inside the housing 3 and capable of moving axially to contact the centrifugal slider 5012. Specifically, the test rod 1001 is a round metal rod that slides through the sealing bushing on the side wall of the housing 3. The test rod 1001 is only inserted when the fan is completely stopped and must be removed before the fan starts running, with the test hole on the housing 3 sealed by a sealing cover. The rod end inside the housing 3 is machined into a ball head or a flat surface, while the rod body outside the housing 3 is machined with external threads. The indicator 1002 is a dial with a pointer, and is fixed to the rod end of the test rod 1001 located outside the housing 3 via a threaded connection.
[0034] When the fan is running, the main shaft 1 drives the impeller 2 and the mounting base 5011 to rotate. The centrifugal slider 5012, under centrifugal force, overcomes the elastic force of the reset member 5014 and slides along the guide member 5013 away from the impeller 2. The radial movement of the centrifugal slider 5012 pushes the second mating inclined surface 5025 on the centrifugal pressing block 5022 through the first mating inclined surface 5015 on it, or through the sliding of the transmission pin 8 in the guide groove 5026, and is converted into an axial thrust on the centrifugal pressing block 5022, forcing the centrifugal pressing block 5022 to overcome the pressure of the preload member 5023 and move along the guide portion 5024 of the bearing seat 5021 towards the end face of the impeller 2 and press the impeller 2. At the same time, the vibration on the drive side is attenuated by the flexible coupling 601, the heat at the end of the impeller 2 is blocked by the heat insulation sleeve 603, and the main shaft 1 is stably supported by the support bearing assembly 602. The sensor 701 monitors the state of the impeller 2 and transmits the signal to the signal processor 702. The auxiliary locking assembly 9 provides static preload. When testing is required, pushing the test rod 1001 from the outside can simulate centrifugal force to trigger the anti-loosening mechanism 5, and the displacement is displayed by the indicator 1002. During maintenance, the removable cover 302 can be used to access the internal mechanism through the maintenance window 301.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] Based on Embodiment 1, as another feasible alternative to the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 to 8, and detailed in the following description: Further, the guide member 5013 is configured as a guide rod or guide groove structure, the mounting base 5011 is correspondingly provided with a fixing hole or fixing groove for mounting the guide member 5013, and the centrifugal slider 5012 is correspondingly provided with a guide hole or guide block that slides with the guide member 5013, ensuring that the sliding trajectory of the centrifugal slider 5012 forms an acute angle with the axial direction of the main shaft 1; the reset member 5014 is configured as a spiral... A spring or disc spring, one end of which abuts against a spring seat on the inner wall of the mounting base 5011, and the other end of which abuts against the end face of the centrifugal slider 5012 facing the inside of the mounting base 5011, when the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the impeller 2 drives the centrifugal slider 5012 to slide along the guide member 5013 in a direction away from the axis of the main shaft 1, the reset member 5014 is compressed and stores energy; when the speed of the impeller 2 decreases and the centrifugal force weakens, the reset member 5014 releases the stored energy and drives the centrifugal slider 5012 to slide back to the initial position along the guide member 5013.
[0037] Furthermore, the preload element 5023 is configured as a compression spring. One end of the preload element 5023 is installed on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the support seat 5021, and the other end abuts against the back of the centrifugal pressure block 5022 to provide an initial preload force to the centrifugal pressure block 5022 in the direction of the centrifugal slider 5012. The guide part 5024 is configured as a cooperating guide rail and a slide groove. The guide rail is set on the inner wall of the support seat 5021, and the slide groove is correspondingly opened on the side of the centrifugal pressure block 5022, or the slide groove is set on the inner wall of the support seat 5021. The guide rail is correspondingly protruding on the side of the centrifugal pressing block 5022 to ensure that the moving direction of the centrifugal pressing block 5022 is perpendicular to the axis of the main shaft 1. When the centrifugal slider 5012 moves under the action of centrifugal force and pushes the centrifugal pressing block 5022, the centrifugal pressing block 5022 moves towards the end face of the impeller 2 along the direction defined by the guide part 5024 and squeezes the pre-tightening member 5023 to achieve axial pressing of the impeller 2. When the centrifugal force decreases, the elastic force of the pre-tightening member 5023 pushes the centrifugal pressing block 5022 to move in the opposite direction along the guide part 5024 to reset.
[0038] Furthermore, the first mating inclined surface 5015 is disposed on the side of the centrifugal slider 5012 facing the axis of the main shaft 1 and inclined away from the impeller 2. The second mating inclined surface 5025 is disposed on the end of the centrifugal pressing block 5022 facing the centrifugal slider 5012 and matches the inclination angle of the first mating inclined surface 5015. The two inclined surfaces are in contact with each other. When the impeller 2 rotates, the centrifugal slider 5012 slides outward along the axis of the main shaft 1 under the action of centrifugal force. Through the contact between the first mating inclined surface 5015 and the second mating inclined surface 5025 and the setting of the transmission pin 8 and the guide groove 5026, the sliding is converted into a thrust on the centrifugal pressing block 5022, driving the centrifugal pressing block 5022 to move towards the end face of the impeller 2 in a direction parallel to the axis of the main shaft 1. When the centrifugal force decreases, the centrifugal slider 5012 slides radially inward under the action of the reset member 5014, while the centrifugal pressing block 5022 moves axially under the action of the pre-tightening member 5023.
[0039] Furthermore, the heat insulation sleeve 603 is configured as a cylindrical sleeve made of heat insulation material. The heat insulation sleeve 603 is fixedly sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the main shaft 1 by interference fit or key connection. One end face of the heat insulation sleeve 603 is close to the hub of the impeller 2 in the axial direction, and the other end face is close to the output end of the drive device 4 in the axial direction, thereby forming a thermal barrier area between the impeller 2 and the drive device 4 in the axial direction of the main shaft 1. When the main shaft 1 is driven to rotate by the drive device 4, the heat insulation sleeve 603 rotates synchronously with the main shaft 1. When the heat generated in the impeller 2 area is conducted through the main shaft 1, it is blocked by the rotating heat insulation sleeve 603 to reduce the heat transfer to the drive device 4.
[0040] Furthermore, sensor 701 is configured as a vibration sensor or displacement sensor. Sensor 701 is fixedly installed on the side wall or end cover of housing 3 via threaded connection or bracket, and its sensing probe is precisely aligned with the hub or blade root area of impeller 2. Signal processor 702 is configured as a microcontroller or application-specific integrated circuit. Signal processor 702 is connected to the electrical interface of sensor 701 via signal cable. When impeller 2 rotates, sensor 701 detects the vibration amplitude or axial displacement of impeller 2 in real time and converts the detected physical quantity into an electrical signal. Signal processor 702 continuously receives and processes the electrical signal. When the processed signal value exceeds a preset threshold, signal processor 702 triggers an alarm circuit or sends a shutdown command to the fan control system.
[0041] Furthermore, the transmission pin 8 is rotatably hinged to a groove inside the centrifugal slider 5012, with its pin body inclined toward the centrifugal pressing block 5022, and its end extending out of the centrifugal slider 5012 and inserted into the guide groove 5026 of the centrifugal pressing block 5022. The guide groove 5026 is located at the corresponding position of the centrifugal pressing block 5022 and is an inclined arc-shaped groove with sufficient depth and length, with its right side wall and bottom wall forming a continuous arc-shaped guide surface. In the initial state, under the action of the reset member 5014, the end of the transmission pin 8 is located at the upper right part of the guide groove 5026. When the centrifugal slider 5012 slides along an inclined direction forming an acute angle with the axial direction of the main shaft 1 under the action of centrifugal force, the hinged transmission pin 8 moves to the right accordingly. Its end first contacts and presses against the right arc-shaped wall of the guide groove 5026. As the sliding continues, the transmission pin 8 slides to the lower left along the arc-shaped wall until its trajectory is guided to contact the left side wall of the guide groove 5026. During this process, the pressing action of the transmission pin 8 against the groove wall generates a component force that forces the centrifugal block 5022 to move to the left as a whole, thereby driving the centrifugal block 5022 to slide to the left along its guide portion 5024. When the centrifugal force decreases, each component is reset under the action of the reset member 5014 and the pre-tightening member 5023.
[0042] Furthermore, the locking element 901 is configured as a locking nut, which is screwed onto the external thread section at the end of the main shaft 1 via a threaded connection; the anti-loosening element 902 is configured as an elastic washer or a disc spring, which is sleeved on the main shaft 1 and located between the locking element 901 and the hub end face of the impeller 2; when the locking element 901 is tightened, the locking element 901 moves axially along the thread of the main shaft 1 and presses against the anti-loosening element 902, causing the anti-loosening element 902 to undergo elastic deformation, thereby applying a continuous axial preload to the hub of the impeller 2; this preload, together with the clamping force generated by the anti-loosening mechanism 5, works to prevent the impeller 2 from axially loosening on the main shaft 1; when disassembly is required, the locking element 901 is loosened in the opposite direction, the locking element 901 retracts axially, releasing the compression on the anti-loosening element 902, and the elastic deformation of the anti-loosening element 902 is restored.
[0043] Furthermore, the test rod 1001 is configured as a cylindrical rod body, passing through a through hole opened on the housing 3, and is axially movable to the housing 3 through a threaded connection or bushing installation; the end face of the test rod 1001 located inside the housing 3 is configured as a flat surface or a ball head, and this end face is directly opposite the outer end face or side boss of the centrifugal slider 5012; the indicator 1002 is a scale provided on the test rod 1001, and a pointer is provided at a corresponding position on the housing 3 to indicate the distance the test rod 1001 has entered the housing 3. The indicator 1002 is fixedly installed on one end of the test rod 1001 located outside the housing 3. When it is necessary to test the function of the anti-loosening mechanism 5, the test is only carried out when the fan is stopped. The test rod 1001 is pushed or pulled axially from the outside. The end of the test rod 1001 presses against or pulls the centrifugal slider 5012, simulating centrifugal force to produce sliding displacement, thereby visually displaying the movable stroke and reset state of the centrifugal slider 5012. After the test is completed, the external force is removed, the test rod 1001 is taken out, the opening at the housing 3 is sealed, and the centrifugal slider 5012 is reset under the action of the reset component 5014.
[0044] Furthermore, the maintenance window 301 is configured as a circular or rectangular through-hole, and the maintenance window 301 is opened on the side wall or end of the housing 3, with its opening position corresponding to the installation area of the internal anti-loosening mechanism 5 or impeller 2; the cover plate 302 is configured as a plate body that matches the shape of the maintenance window 301, and the cover plate 302 is detachably connected to the housing 3 at the edge of the maintenance window 301 by multiple bolts or buckle structures; a sealing gasket is provided at the mating surface of the cover plate 302 and the maintenance window 301, and when the cover plate 302 is installed in place and fastened by the connector, the cover plate 302 presses the sealing gasket to achieve the closure and sealing of the maintenance window 301; when maintenance or inspection is required, the connector of the cover plate 302 is removed, and the cover plate 302 can be removed from the maintenance window 301 to expose the internal space of the housing 3.
