DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] The present application embodiment discloses an engine cooling fan 2, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , including an engine housing 1 and a fan 2, the engine housing 1 is provided with a generator pulley 11, a clutch idler pulley set 3, a clutch water pump 12 pulley set and a crankshaft drive wheel 5. Among them, the clutch idler pulley set 3 includes a first multi-V belt pulley 31 and a first toothed belt pulley 32, and the clutch water pump 12 pulley set includes a second multi-V belt pulley 41 and a second toothed belt pulley 42.

[0023] The clutch idler wheel group 3 and the clutch water pump 12 wheel group are both provided with clutch control parts, which are used to control the multi-V belt 6 wheels and the toothed belt 7 wheels in the two wheel groups to mesh and transmit synchronously or disengage and rotate independently. The generator pulley 11, the first multi-V belt pulley 31, and the crankshaft drive wheel 5 are wound around and meshed with the multi-V belt 6. The second multi-V belt pulley 41 is located on the outside of the multi-V belt 6 and meshes with the multi-V belt 6 wheels, so that the second multi-V belt 6 rotates in the opposite direction with the generator pulley 11, the first multi-V belt pulley 31, and the crankshaft drive wheel 5 when the multi-V belt 6 rotates. The first toothed belt pulley 32 and the second toothed belt pulley 42 are wound around and meshed with the toothed belt 7. The generator pulley 11 is connected to the output end of the engine, the second multi-V belt pulley 41 is connected to the fan blade input shaft of the water pump 12, and the input shaft of the fan 2 is connected to the second toothed belt pulley 42.

[0024] When the engine is operating normally, the clutch control part controls the coaxial meshing transmission of the second multi-V belt pulley 41 and the second toothed belt pulley 42 in the clutch water pump 12 wheel set, and the first multi-V belt pulley 31 and the first toothed belt pulley 32 in the clutch idler wheel set 3 are separated and rotated, and the engine drives the crankshaft to rotate, and the second multi-V belt pulley 41 in the clutch water pump 12 wheel set rotates to drive the fan blades in the water pump 12 to operate normally. At the same time, the first toothed belt pulley 32 drives the fan 2 to rotate to blow air to the engine housing 1 to dissipate heat from the engine. The multi-V belt 6 passes through the generator pulley 11 and the second multi-V belt pulley 41 in the clutch idler wheel set 3, and then wraps around the crankshaft drive wheel 5, driving the generator pulley 11 to rotate normally. The first toothed belt pulley 32 drives the second toothed belt pulley 42 to rotate through the toothed belt 7. At this time, the second toothed belt pulley 42 and the second multi-V belt pulley 41 are separated from each other, and the rotation does not interfere with each other.

[0025] When it is necessary to clean the residue on the surface of the engine housing 1, the clutch control part controls the first multi-V belt pulley 31 and the first toothed belt pulley 32 in the clutch idler wheel group 3 to separate and rotate independently, and controls the second multi-V belt pulley 41 and the second toothed belt pulley 42 in the clutch water pump 12 wheel group to mesh and rotate synchronously. When the multi-V belt 6 drives the first multi-V belt pulley 31 and the generator pulley 11 to rotate normally and the water pump 12 and the engine operate normally, the second multi-V belt pulley 41 rotates in the opposite direction, the second multi-V belt pulley 41 and the second toothed wheel rotate synchronously, and the second toothed wheel drives the first toothed wheel to rotate, and the first toothed wheel rotates in the opposite direction relative to the first multi-V belt pulley 31, so that the fan 2 is reversed, and the rice, stems and leaves and other flammable residues on the surface of the engine housing 1 are blown out away from the engine. The rotation direction of the fan 2 can be quickly switched without stopping the machine, and the back-blowing interval time can be controlled according to the actual use environment, object, weather and other conditions, or the manual control switch can be used to realize immediate back-blowing for a certain time.

[0026] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, a tensioning wheel 8 is also provided, the engine housing 1 includes an engine casing that protects the engine, the tensioning wheel 8 is rotatably connected to the outside of the engine casing, and the tensioning wheel 8 is located in the toothed belt 7 and meshes with the toothed belt 7, the tensioning wheel 8 and the clutch water pump 12 wheel group and the clutch idler wheel group 3 are arranged in a triangle, and a driving member for driving the tensioning wheel 8 to move is provided on the engine casing. Specifically, a slider is linearly slidably installed on the engine casing, the tensioning wheel 8 is rotatably installed on the slider, the driving member may be an unadjustable screw 81, the adjusting screw 81 is rotatably connected to the engine casing parallel to the sliding direction of the slider, one end of the adjusting screw 81 is coaxially fixed with an adjusting knob, a screw hole is penetrated through the slider, and the adjusting screw 81 passes through the screw hole and is threadedly connected to the screw hole. By rotating the adjusting screw 81, the slider can be driven to move on the engine housing 1, and the tensioning wheel 8 can pull the toothed belt 7 to tighten. When the fan 2 rotates forward and reverse multiple times, the toothed belt 7 is prone to fatigue and stretching. Setting the tensioning wheel 8 can extend the service life of the toothed belt.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that the structure of the fan 2 is different. In the embodiment of the present application, the fan 2 includes a plurality of fixed blades 21, and a plurality of movable blades 22, which are the same in number as the fixed blades 21 and are installed one by one in contact with the fixed blades 21. The fixed blades 21 are rectangular strip blades. The movable blades 22 are slidably connected to the fixed blades 21 along the width direction of the fixed blades 21. The movable blades 22 have two limit end points during the sliding process on the fixed blades 21. When the movable blades 22 move to one limit end point, the movable blades 22 coincide with the fixed blades 21. When the movable blades 22 are located at the other limit end point, the movable blades 22 slide out from one side edge of the fixed blades 21.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present application, when the fan 2 is turning to blow air to the engine housing 1 for heat dissipation, the movable blade 22 moves on the fixed blade 21 to overlap with the fixed blade 21, reducing wind resistance while meeting the basic ventilation and heat dissipation requirements of the engine housing 1 and reducing the amount of slag blown toward the engine. When it is necessary to blow the slag on the engine housing 1 outward, the fan 2 is reversed. During the reversal of the fan 2, the movable blade 22 slides to another limit point on the fixed blade 21, so that the movable blade 22 slides out from one side of the fixed blade 21, increasing the area of ​​the fan 2 blades, increasing the air supply, and enhancing the suction effect of the slag on the surface of the engine housing 1.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, two mutually parallel limiting strips 23 are fixedly provided on the fixed blade 21, and a bar-shaped limiting hole is opened on the limiting strip 23. The movable blade 22 is inserted into the limiting strip 23. The movable blade 22 is limited by the limiting strip 23, which makes it more stable during the sliding process, thereby improving the stability of the fan 2. Furthermore, a spring can be provided in the limiting hole of the limiting strip 23, one end of the spring abuts against the inner wall of the limiting strip 23, and the other end abuts against the movable blade 22. The spring is used to drive the movable blade 22 to slide and overlap with the fixed blade 21. When the fan 2 stops rotating, the movable blade 22 can be retracted into the fixed blade 21 to reduce the dust falling in the sliding area of ​​the fixed blade 21 for the movable blade 22, and keep the movable blade 22 sliding smoothly.
