Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of centrifugal fans, in particular to an impeller mounting structure of a centrifugal fan, a centrifugal fan and a range hood. Background Art

[0002] Centrifugal fans are an important air supply device, commonly used in range hoods, air conditioners and other products. Among them, the fan system is the core component of the range hood, and the impeller is the key component of the fan system. When the impeller is contaminated by oil and the surface of the blades is oily, the oil will change the streamline of the blades and increase the weight of the impeller, thus causing the overall performance of the fan system to decline. When the accumulated oil reaches a certain amount, the overall performance of the range hood is seriously reduced, the noise increases, the air volume loss is serious, and smoke leakage occurs, which seriously affects the user experience. Therefore, after the range hood has been used for a period of time, the range hood, especially the impeller of its fan system, needs to be disassembled and cleaned.

[0003] In order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the impeller, a Chinese utility model patent application with application number CN01239583.8 discloses a fan impeller installation structure for a range hood, including an impeller and a motor output shaft, the impeller including a front ring and a rear ring arranged relatively to each other and a plurality of blades connected to the outer edges of the two, a wheel disk fixed at the central part of the rear ring, a central hole for the motor output shaft to pass through is opened on the wheel disk, a slot is opened on the central rear end face of the wheel disk, and a pin that can be embedded in the slot is passed through the motor output shaft at a corresponding position, and the front end face of the wheel disk is limited by a hand-tightening nut connected to the front end thread of the motor output shaft. However, the fixing method of the impeller is basically a left-handed tightening nut, and a certain pre-tightening force needs to be applied during installation to prevent loosening. During the long-term use of the fan, due to the vibration problem of the impeller, it is easy to loosen due to insufficient pre-tightening of the hand-tightening nut installation, that is, it does not have an anti-loosening effect, and therefore, there are certain safety hazards.

[0004] For this purpose, a Chinese utility model patent application with application number CN202320080046.3 (authorization announcement number: CN219220852U) discloses a mounting structure of a centrifugal fan impeller assembly, a centrifugal fan and a range hood, the mounting structure comprising: a motor having an output shaft; a locking position thereon, a locking assembly comprising a locking piece and a first spring, the locking piece having a mounting hole, a locking portion being provided on the inner wall of the mounting hole, a limiting structure allowing the locking piece to rotate between a locked position and an unlocked position with the output shaft of the motor as the rotation center is also constructed between the output shaft of the motor and the mounting hole of the locking piece, the first spring acts on the locking piece, and causes the locking piece to always have a tendency to move in a direction away from the wheel disc. When the locking member is in the locked position, the movement of the locking member can be limited in the axial direction and / or circumferential direction of the motor output shaft; when the locking member is in the unlocked position, the locking portion of the locking member is disengaged from the locking position on the motor output shaft to release the position limit between the two in the axial direction and circumferential direction along the motor output shaft. The installation structure of the impeller assembly can effectively avoid the loosening problem caused by insufficient installation pre-tightening.

[0005] However, the impeller installation structure in the above patent application still has certain shortcomings. Under normal circumstances, the spring of the locking assembly must be pressed by manual force and play an axial pre-tightening role after installation. However, as the operating speed of the range hood continues to increase, the acceleration of the startup is getting higher and higher, resulting in the axial component force becoming larger and larger during the impeller startup process. Therefore, when the motor is required to run at a high speed, the spring of the locking assembly cannot achieve axial pre-tightening while ensuring the installation feel, and therefore further optimization design is urgently needed.

Since the embodiments disclosed in the present invention can be arranged in different directions, these terms indicating directions are only used as explanations and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "up" and "down" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figure 1-Figure 8 A preferred embodiment of the present embodiment is shown, an impeller mounting structure of a centrifugal fan, which is used to mount the impeller assembly 2 of the centrifugal fan on the output shaft 11 of the motor 10, and to achieve axial and circumferential limitation of the impeller assembly 2 on the output shaft 11 of the motor 10.

[0043] The centrifugal fan of this embodiment includes a volute 70, a motor 10 and an impeller assembly 2. The main body of the motor 10 is connected to the volute 70, and the motor 10 has an output shaft 11. The outer peripheral wall of the end of the output shaft 11 has a pin 12 extending radially outward. The impeller assembly 2 is arranged in the volute 70, which includes an impeller and a wheel disc 21 connected to the middle disc 20 of the impeller, and the wheel disc 21 is connected to the output shaft 11 of the motor 10. The output shaft 11 of the motor 10 and the wheel disc 21 of the impeller assembly 2 are connected using the impeller mounting structure of this embodiment.

[0044] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 The impeller mounting structure includes a locking assembly, which is connected to the output shaft 11 of the motor 10 and is located on the side of the wheel disc 21 away from the main body of the motor 10, and is used to limit the wheel disc 21 in the axial direction of the output shaft 11. The locking assembly includes a knob member 3, a cover plate 4, a first elastic member 61 and an axial preload assembly.

[0045] The knob member 3 is a cap structure having an accommodation chamber 30 with an opening formed on the side facing the wheel disc 21. The knob member 3 also has a mounting hole 31 opened along the axial direction of the output shaft 11 of the motor 10 from the bottom wall of the accommodation chamber 30 (i.e., the side wall opposite to the opening). The inner peripheral wall of the mounting hole 31 also has a guide slideway 32 opened along the extension direction of the mounting hole 31, a transition slideway 33 opened along the circumference of the mounting hole 31, and a positioning slideway 34 opened along the extension direction of the mounting hole 31. The above-mentioned transition slideway 33 is an arc-shaped slideway, and its corresponding central angle is about 90°. The bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 30 has an installation opening 35 that is connected to the guide slideway 32 and allows the pin shaft 12 to slide into the guide slideway 32. The end of the guide slideway 32 away from the wheel disc 21 is connected to the first end of the transition slideway 33, and the end of the positioning slideway 34 away from the wheel disc 21 is connected to the second end of the transition slideway 33. The end of the positioning slideway 34 adjacent to the wheel disc 21 is a closed structure. The bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 30 also has a second opening 37 that axially penetrates to the second end of the positioning slideway 34.

[0046] The guide slide 32, transition slide 33 and positioning slide together constitute the locking slide structure of the knob member 3 of this embodiment. The pin 12 on the output shaft 11 of the motor 10 of this embodiment has two sections symmetrically arranged about the axis of the output shaft 11, and the locking slide structure on the knob member 3 also has two corresponding sections.

[0047] The cross section of the accommodating chamber 30 of the knob member 3 is circular, and correspondingly, the cover plate 4 is also a matching circular plate body, which is axially movably arranged in the accommodating chamber 30 of the knob member 3. Specifically, the cover plate 4 is connected to the bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 30 of the knob member 3 through a plurality of connecting rods 43 (such as step screws) arranged in sequence in the circumferential direction of the knob member 3. The first elastic member 61 adopts a first spring, and the first axial limit sleeve 51 is arranged on the connecting rod 43, and its two ends are respectively against the cover plate 4 and the bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 30 of the knob member 3. Under the elastic force of the first spring, the knob member 3 and the cover body have a tendency to move away from each other. Among them, the length dimension of the connecting rod 43 should be reasonably designed to ensure that the cover plate 4 does not fall out from the front opening of the knob member 3 in a natural state.

[0048] The axial preload assembly is also arranged in the accommodating chamber 30, specifically, between the cover plate 4 and the bottom of the accommodating chamber 30. The axial preload assembly includes a first axial limit sleeve 51 and a second elastic member 62. The middle part of the cover plate 4 has a first opening 41 through which the output shaft 11 and the pin shaft 12 of the power supply machine 10 pass, and the outer peripheral edge of the first opening 41 has an annular flange 42 that is folded and extended toward the accommodating chamber 30. The main body of the first axial limit sleeve 51 has a limit stop 511 extending radially outward. The second elastic member 62 of this embodiment is a second spring, one end of which is sleeved outside the annular flange 42 of the cover plate 4, and the other end is sleeved outside the first axial limit sleeve 51 and abuts against the limit stop 511. Under the elastic force of the above-mentioned second spring, the first axial limit sleeve 51 always has a tendency to move toward the side away from the wheel disc 21. The first axial limiting sleeve 51 has an axially extending preload rod 53 on its end wall away from the wheel disc 21. The preload rod 53 can pass through the second opening 37 on the bottom wall of the knob member 3 and extend into the positioning slideway 34, and axially abut against the pin 12 in the positioning slideway 34. In accordance with the number of locking slideway structures of the knob member 3, the axial preload assembly also has two corresponding preload rods 53.

[0049] In this embodiment, the stiffness coefficient of the second spring is greater than the stiffness coefficient of the first spring.

[0050] The combined length of the second spring and the first axial limit sleeve 51 of this embodiment is the distance between the inner end face of the cover plate 4 and the cylindrical surface of the pin shaft 12 of the output shaft 11 of the motor 10 after the knob 3 is installed in place. In order to ensure sufficient preload, the second spring should use a large stiffness spring, that is, the initial compression or a slight displacement can meet the axial preload requirement. Specifically, the combined length interference can be within 0.5mm to ensure the installation feel. During operation, the installation opening 35 on the bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 30 of the knob 3 is aligned with the pin shaft 12. When the outer end face of the cover plate 4 contacts the impeller 21 of the impeller, the first spring begins to compress. Since the first spring is not required to achieve axial preload in this embodiment, the first spring can ensure the reset of the knob 3 and the manual operation feel. During the process of the first spring being compressed and the pin shaft 12 moving along the guide slide 32 to the bottom of the mounting channel 31 of the knob member 3, due to the extrusion of the cover plate 4, the second spring pushes the first axial limit sleeve 51 to move downward. Since the first axial limit sleeve 51 has not yet contacted the main body of the knob member 3 (the bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 30), the second spring will not be compressed at this time and continues to press downward until the first axial limit sleeve 51 contacts the main body of the knob member 3. At this time, the second spring must ensure that it contacts the inner end surface of the cover plate 4. If it just contacts, the pin shaft 12 of the output shaft 11 of the motor 10 has already contacted the bottom of the guide slide 32 of the knob member 3, that is, it can rotate. If there is an interference, it is necessary to continue to move down an axial distance equivalent to the interference distance before it can rotate. If it moves down the interference distance, the second spring will be compressed. At this time, the interference distance is the compression distance of the second spring. Since the force compressing the second spring will be transmitted to the hand, the interference distance is designed to be as small as possible. When the downward pressure starts, the first spring is compressed. When the compression reaches the final stage, the second spring also begins to be compressed. However, since the interference distance is very small, there will be no obvious feeling of effort in this compression. The pin shaft 12 of the output shaft 11 of the motor 10 moves to the bottom of the guide slide 32 and rotates 90° to the left along the transition slide 33 to enter the position corresponding to the positioning slide 34. Then release the knob 3. At this time, the preload force is provided by the second spring and the first spring. Under the elastic force of the first spring, the knob 3 is pushed backward. At this time, the pin shaft 12 contacts the two preload rods 53 of the first axial limit sleeve 51. The axial preload force acts on the pin shaft 12 to complete the axial limit. Since the pin shaft 12 is stuck in the positioning slide 34, the circumferential limit is also achieved at the same time.

[0051] In order to further improve the hand feel, during the rotation process after the pin shaft 12 is compressed to the bottom of the guide slide 32 of the knob member 3, the front side wall surface of the transition slide 33 for the circumferential movement of the pin shaft 12 can be designed as a slope, and the interference displacement is borne by the pin shaft 12 rotating on the slope. Compared with pressing, the operating feel will be improved, that is, the pressing force is converted into rotational force.

[0052] After the output shaft 11 of the motor 10 is inserted into the mounting hole 31 of the knob 3 and rotated to a certain angle to be circumferentially limited in the positioning slide 34, the impeller mounting structure of this embodiment also limits the pin 12 of the output shaft 11 of the motor 10 in the axial direction through the preload rod 53 of the axial preload assembly. Thus, while ensuring that locking and unlocking are faster and more labor-saving, a reliable anti-loosening function is achieved. Without external operation, there will be no loosening and falling off, which is safer and more reliable. In addition, the impeller mounting structure also has a locking feel prompt, which is convenient for users to judge whether it is locked. This structure can be improved on the basis of the existing structure without modifying the original design, reducing costs and shortening the development cycle.

[0053] The present embodiment also relates to a range hood, comprising a fan system, wherein the fan system adopts the centrifugal fan mentioned above.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] See also Fig. 9 and Fig.10 , shows another preferred embodiment of the utility model, which differs from the embodiment 1 in that the structure of the axial preload assembly is different, the second spring is omitted, and a second axial limit sleeve 52 is used, and the axial length of the second axial limit sleeve 52 is also equivalent to the combined length of the second spring and the first axial limit sleeve 51 in the embodiment 1. The length of the second axial limit sleeve 52 is limited by interference to limit the axial displacement, and through reasonable size design, it is ensured that the minimum interference of the matching relationship is greater than 0, and the interference should not be too large, otherwise it cannot be assembled. When the second axial limit sleeve 52 contacts the knob member 3, the pin 12 is rotatable, and in this state, the end face of the guide column is not flush with the front side wall of the transition slide 33, but slightly exceeds a certain distance. The interference contact also starts from the rotation of the pin 12 to the guide column of the second axial limit sleeve 52. A small inclined surface 530 is designed at the end of the guide column. When the pin 12 contacts the inclined surface 530, an interference fit is gradually formed until the pin 12 can slide into the positioning slide 34. Under the elastic force of the first spring, the knob member 3 moves backward, so that the pin 12 contacts the bottom surface of the positioning slide 34, thereby completing the axial positioning.
