[0018] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the drawings.
[0019] As shown in the attached Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, a connection structure suitable for the installation of multi-model fan motors of the present utility model includes a drive shaft 1, an impeller 2, and a positioning cover 3. The impeller 2 is installed at one end of the drive shaft 1; as Figure 2 shown, a keyway 11 is provided on the drive shaft 1. The keyway 11 penetrates through the end of the drive shaft 1. The center of the arc surface of the keyway 11 is tangent to the drive shaft shoulder 13 of the drive shaft 1. The end shaft diameter of the drive shaft 1 is the minimum shaft diameter of the drive shaft 1; as Figure 3 shown, the impeller 2 includes a hub 21. There is a through installation hole 24 at the axis of the hub 21. A rib 23 is provided on the inner wall of the installation hole 24; as Figure 4 shown, when the installation hole 24 of the impeller 2 is sleeved on the drive shaft 1, the rib 23 slides in the keyway 11. The positioning cover 3 is sleeved on the end of the drive shaft 1; the positioning cover 3 is locked on the end of the drive shaft 1 by an axial fastener 4, so that the hub 21 is clamped between the positioning cover 3 and the drive shaft shoulder 13.
[0020] As Figure 3 shown, a chamfer 25 is provided at one end of the rib 23 on the hub 21 close to the drive shaft shoulder 13. The inclined surface of the chamfer 25 can make the rib 23 be more easily pushed into the keyway 11, and the rib 23 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the installation hole 24 along the length direction of the hub 21; the length of the hub 21 is less than the length of the keyway 11. The width of the rib 23 is the same as the width of the keyway 11. The inner wall radius of the installation hole 24 of the hub 21 is the same as the end shaft diameter of the drive shaft 1; as Figure 3 shown, the impeller 2 further includes a plurality of fan blades 22. The plurality of fan blades 22 are integrally formed on the surface of the hub 21 in a circumferential array, ensuring the stability of the impeller 2 when rotating around its own axis driven by the drive shaft 1.
[0021] As Figure 2 shown, a threaded hole 14 is further provided on the drive shaft 1. The threaded hole 14 is opened at the center of the drive shaft end face 12 of the drive shaft 1. A chamfer is provided at the outermost end of the threaded hole 14. The chamfered inclined surface guides the axial fastener 4 during the process of the axial fastener 4 entering the threaded hole 14. The axial fastener 4 locks the positioning cover 3 on the drive shaft 1 through the threaded fit with the threaded hole 14.
[0022] As Figure 4As shown in the figure, the positioning cover 3 has a barrel-shaped structure. The inner wall radius of the positioning cover 3 is the same as the end radius of the drive shaft 1. An end wall 32 is provided at the outer end of the positioning cover 3. A connection hole 31 penetrates through the end wall 32. The connection hole 31 is coaxially arranged with the threaded hole 14. The diameter of the connection hole 31 is larger than the diameter of the axial fastener 4. The diameter of the axial fastener 4 is the same as the diameter of the threaded hole 14. Such a setting can make it easier for the axial fastener 4 to pass through the connection hole 31 and engage in threaded cooperation with the threaded hole 14. When the axial fastener 4 locks the positioning cover 3 onto the drive shaft 1 through threaded cooperation with the threaded hole 14, an adjustment chamber 5 is formed between the end wall 32 and the end face 12 of the drive shaft. When the length of the keyway 11 remains unchanged, the longer the length of the hub 21, the larger the space of the adjustment chamber 5; the shorter the length of the hub 21, the smaller the space of the adjustment chamber 5. Since the length of the hub 21 is less than the length of the keyway 11, the positioning cover 3 can press the impeller 2 against the shaft shoulder 13 of the drive shaft when the space of the adjustment chamber 5 is not zero, so that the installation and testing of the impeller 2 with different hub 21 lengths can be realized.
[0023] As Figure 4 shown, the axial fastener 4 includes an axial bolt 41, a flat washer 42 and a spring washer 43. The spring washer 43 and the flat washer 42 are successively sleeved on the screw of the bolt 41. The spring washer 43 is clamped between the flat washer 42 and the head of the bolt 41. When the axial fastener 4 passes through the connection hole 31 and engages in threaded cooperation with the threaded hole 14, the flat washer 42 is in close contact with the end wall 32 of the positioning cover 3. As the threaded cooperation between the axial fastener 4 and the threaded hole 14 continues, finally the positioning cover 3 pushes the end of the hub 21 away from the positioning cover 3 to the shaft shoulder 13 of the drive shaft, and makes the hub 21 of the impeller 2 in close contact with the shaft shoulder 13 of the drive shaft.
[0024] In summary, the installation steps of a connection structure suitable for the installation of multi-model fan motors of the present utility model are as follows: Step 1: Align the rib 23 on the impeller 2 with the keyway 11 on the drive shaft 1, and sleeved the impeller 2 on the end of the drive shaft 1. Step 2: Continue to push the impeller 2 so that one end of the rib 23 close to the chamfer contacts the shaft shoulder 13 of the drive shaft. Step 3: Sleeve the positioning cover 3 on the end of the drive shaft 1, and make the port of the positioning cover 3 contact the side of the hub 21 away from the shaft shoulder 13 of the drive shaft. Step 4: Pass the axial fastener 4 through the connection hole 31 on the end wall 32 of the positioning cover 3, and make the axial fastener 4 engage in threaded cooperation with the threaded hole 14 on the end face 12 of the drive shaft. Step 5: As the threaded cooperation between the axial fastener 4 and the threaded hole 14 on the end face 12 of the drive shaft intensifies, finally the positioning cover 3 presses one end of the hub 21 close to the shaft shoulder 13 of the drive shaft against the shaft shoulder 13 of the drive shaft, realizing the tight connection between the positioning cover, the impeller and the drive shaft for subsequent experiments.
[0025] In the first embodiment described above, when the connection between the impeller 2 and the drive shaft 1 relies too much on the axial fastener 4 passing through the connection hole 31 and the threaded hole 14 for threaded engagement, the positioning cover 3 forms a top thrust on the hub 21. However, as the impeller 2 rotates around its own axis driven by the drive shaft 1, the threaded engagement between the axial fastener 4 and the threaded hole 14 will inevitably become loose. This looseness will cause the impeller 2 to collide with the keyway 11 of the drive shaft 1 during rotation, resulting in abnormal noise during the rotation of the impeller 2, and more seriously, the positioning cover 3 may fall off.
[0026] To solve the above problems, an optimized design is made for the adjustment chamber 5 formed between the end wall 32 and the end face 12 of the drive shaft, resulting in the second embodiment. The specific optimization is as follows:
[0027] As Figure 5 shown, a number of preloading springs 61 arranged in a circumferential array are also provided in the adjustment chamber 5, and a number of preloading force compensation holes 62 corresponding to the preloading springs 61 and arranged in a circumferential array are opened on the end face 12 of the drive shaft; when the positioning cover 3 is locked at the end of the drive shaft 1 through the axial fastener 4, each preloading spring 61 is inserted into the corresponding preloading force compensation hole 62; as Figure 6 shown, one end of the preloading spring 61 is fixedly connected to the end wall 32 of the inner cavity of the positioning cover 3. When the axial fastener 4 passes through the connection hole 31 and the threaded hole 14 for threaded engagement, the preloading spring 61 can generate a thrust on the positioning cover 3. This thrust can make the threaded engagement between the threaded hole 14 and the axial fastener 4 tighter, thus avoiding loosening of the threaded engagement between the axial fastener 4 and the threaded hole 14, and can also make the preloading forces the same when impellers 2 with different hub 21 lengths are installed on the drive shaft 1; as Figure 6 shown, a number of preloading force compensation washers 63 are stacked axially in each preloading force compensation hole 62. There is a process hole 64 at the center of each preloading force compensation washer 63. Workers can hook the process hole 64 at the center of the preloading force compensation washer 63 with a wire with a small hook to take or place the preloading force compensation washer 63; when the length of the keyway 11 remains unchanged, the longer the hub 21 length, the larger the space of the adjustment chamber 5, and the number of preloading force compensation washers 63 stacked in each preloading force compensation hole 62 needs to be increased. The shorter the hub 21 length, the smaller the space of the adjustment chamber 5, and the number of preloading force compensation washers 63 stacked in each preloading force compensation hole 62 needs to be reduced, so as to make the thrust generated by the preloading spring 61 on the positioning cover 3 the same and ensure that the preloading forces are the same when impellers 2 with different hub 21 lengths are installed on the drive shaft 1.
[0028] The above are the preferred embodiments described in the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present utility model.
