[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model is solved by the following technical solutions:
[0007] A car engine cooling fan comprises a turntable and a plurality of fan blades, wherein the plurality of fan blades are respectively mounted on the turntable through a detachable structure, wherein the detachable structure comprises a plug-in slot which is circumferentially arranged on the outer wall of the turntable and has an open end which is the same number as the fan blades, and a plug-in block which is embedded in the plug-in slot and is fixed to the fan blades at the top, wherein an anti-slip component for preventing the plug-in block inserted in the plug-in slot from slipping out of the plug-in slot and an unlocking component for releasing the limit of the plug-in block by the anti-slip component are arranged in the plug-in slot, wherein the anti-slip component comprises a limit slot arranged at the bottom of the plug-in block, a limit block which is telescopically arranged in the plug-in slot and can be partially inserted into the limit slot, and a receiving slot arranged in the plug-in slot for receiving the retracted limit block, and a telescopic component for driving the limit block to be telescopic is arranged between the receiving slot and the limit block.
[0008] By adopting the above scheme, the plug-in block arranged under the fan blade can be inserted into the plug-in slot on the turntable when the fan blade needs to be installed on the turntable. When the plug-in block is inserted into the plug-in slot, the telescopic component can be used to control the limit block to retract into the storage slot, so that the plug-in block can be inserted into the plug-in slot. When the limit slot on the plug-in block is exactly opposite to the position of the limit block in the plug-in slot, the telescopic component will drive the limit block to extend out of the storage slot and insert into the limit slot, thereby limiting the position of the plug-in block, realizing the installation between the fan blade and the turntable, thereby improving the efficiency of fan blade installation.

[0013] By adopting the above scheme, when the plug-in block is inserted into the plug-in slot, the plug-in block will gradually abut against the guide slope on the surface of the limit block. At this time, the plug-in block will exert pressure on the guide slope on the limit block, thereby pressing the limit block back into the receiving slot. At this time, the plug-in block can be inserted into the plug-in slot, and when the limit slot at the bottom of the plug-in block is directly opposite to the limit block in the receiving slot, the rebound component set at this time will drive the limit block to rebound partially and extend out of the receiving slot and insert into the limit slot, thereby preventing the plug-in block from falling out of the plug-in slot and realizing the installation between the fan blades and the turntable.
[0014] Preferably, the unlocking component includes a pulling rod arranged vertically downward on the bottom surface of the limit block and capable of driving the limit block to retract; a through groove for partially passing the pulling rod is arranged at the bottom of the storage groove; a concave hole which is interconnected with the through groove is also arranged on the turntable; the pulling rod passes through the through groove and is inserted into the concave hole; a limiting component for limiting the lifting and lowering of the pulling rod is arranged between the concave hole and the pulling rod passing through the through groove.
[0015] By adopting the above scheme, the setting of the pulling rod can drive the limit block to move downward when the fan blades need to be removed from the turntable, so that the limit block is disengaged from the limit groove at the bottom of the plug-in block. At this time, the plug-in block can be pulled out of the plug-in groove, thereby removing the fan blades from the turntable. The setting of the limit component can limit the lifting and lowering of the pulling rod, thereby reducing the probability of the pulling plate automatically descending when the fan is in use, causing the fan blades to fall from the turntable.
[0016] Preferably, the limiting component includes a latch, a through hole for the latch to pass through is provided at the position where the pulling rod extends out of the through slot, and a limiting hole for the latch to be partially inserted after passing through the through hole is provided on the concave hole.
[0017] By adopting the above scheme, the arranged pin is inserted through the through hole on the pulling rod into the limiting hole in the recessed hole, so that the pin limits the lifting and lowering of the pulling rod. Since the lifting and lowering of the pulling rod is limited, the limiting block inserted in the limiting groove at the bottom of the plug-in block cannot fall out of the limiting groove, thereby realizing the installation between the fan blades and the turntable.
[0018] Preferably, a blocking component is also provided on the turntable to prevent the latch from automatically falling out of the limiting hole.
[0019] Preferably, the blocking component includes a screw cap arranged in the recessed hole, an external thread is arranged on the surface of the screw cap, and an internal thread matching the external thread on the screw cap is arranged on the inner wall of the recessed hole, and when the screw cap is screwed into the recessed hole, one end of the pin close to the screw cap abuts against the screw cap.
[0020] By adopting the above scheme, the recessed hole can be closed by the provided screw cover, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the fan; and when the screw cover is screwed into the recessed hole, its surface will abut against the surface of the pin inserted through the through hole into the limiting hole on the recessed hole, preventing the pin from falling out of the limiting hole, making it impossible for the pulling rod to be raised or lowered, thereby preventing the limiting block from falling out of the limiting groove at the bottom of the plug-in block, thereby achieving installation between the fan blades and the turntable.
[0021] The utility model has a significant technical effect due to the adoption of the above technical scheme: the plug-in block arranged under the fan blade can be inserted into the plug-in slot on the turntable when the fan blade needs to be installed on the turntable, and when the plug-in block is inserted into the plug-in slot, the telescopic component can be used to control the limit block to retract into the storage slot, so that the plug-in block can be inserted into the plug-in slot, and when the limit slot on the plug-in block is directly opposite to the position of the limit block in the plug-in slot, the telescopic component will drive the limit block to extend out of the storage slot and insert into the limit slot, thereby limiting the position of the plug-in block, realizing the installation between the fan blade and the turntable, thereby improving the efficiency of fan blade installation.
