Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of centrifugal fans for refrigerators, and in particular relates to an AC centrifugal fan. Background Art

[0002] The principle of air-cooled refrigerators is to use air for refrigeration. When high-temperature air flows through the built-in evaporator, due to the high air temperature and low evaporator temperature, the two directly exchange heat, the air temperature will be reduced, and the cold air will be blown into the storage room of the refrigerator through the fan system. The air-cooled refrigerator uses this continuous circulation method to reduce the temperature in the refrigerator storage room. However, the existing air-cooled refrigerators have replaced the axial flow fans with centrifugal fans. The centrifugal fans currently used are all direct current, that is, DC motors. Because the voltage input to the refrigerator is all AC voltage, when the input AC voltage flows into the DC motor of the centrifugal fan, it needs to be converted into DC voltage through a power converter to make the DC motor work. During this period, complex power converters and main control boards are required, which not only makes the structure of the centrifugal fan more complicated, but also makes the DC motor easily damaged after long-term operation and cannot withstand high-load operation and high energy consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a centrifugal fan using an AC motor, and the rational arrangement of the capacitors and resistors on the electric control circuit board used by the AC motor on the fan bracket will affect the structural volume change of the entire centrifugal fan.
