DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.

[0033] The embodiment of the present application discloses a self-cooling fan.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 A self-cooling fan includes a motor 1, a guide housing 2, fan blades 5, and a collecting hood 6. The end of the motor 1 near the rotating shaft 4 is located inside the guide housing 2, and the other end of the motor 1 is located outside the guide housing 2. The motor 1 is connected to the inner wall of the guide housing 2. The fan blades 5 are coaxially fixed to the rotating shaft 4. The collecting hood 6 is fixed to the end of the guide housing 2 near the rotating shaft 4. The fan blades 5 are located inside the collecting hood 6. A through hole 3 is formed between the motor 1 housing and the inner wall of the guide housing 2. The end of the collecting hood 6 away from the motor 1 is an air inlet 7, and the end of the guide housing 2 away from the rotating shaft 4 is an air outlet 8.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 The through hole 3 is located between the air inlet 7 and the air outlet 8. Air flows in from the air inlet 7 and flows out from the air outlet 8 through the through hole 3. During the operation of the self-cooling fan, the motor 1 drives the fan blades 5 on the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, thereby generating a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the gathering cover 6, causing air to flow from the air inlet 7 into the gathering cover 6. The airflow flows through the through hole 3 and flows in a direction away from the rotating shaft 4. The airflow flows out from the air outlet 8 along the motor 1, and removes the heat generated by the motor 1 through heat transfer, thereby realizing that the self-cooling fan partially cools the motor 1 in a high-temperature environment, preventing the motor 1 from being damaged or even burned due to long-term use in a high-temperature environment.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 A number of guide plates 9 are arranged inside the through hole 3. One end of the guide plates 9 is fixed to the outer casing of the motor 1, and the other end is fixed to the inner wall of the guide shell 2. The guide plates 9 play a supporting role between the motor 1 and the inner wall of the guide shell 2. While ensuring the flow of gas, the stability of the guide plates 9 fixed to the outer casing of the motor 1 and the inner wall of the guide shell 2 is enhanced.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Several guide vanes 9 are evenly spaced within the through hole 3. The guide vanes 9 divide the through hole 3 into several guide holes 10. During the operation of the self-cooling fan, the airflow through the motor 1 is made more uniform, improving the heat dissipation efficiency. The airflow can be evenly distributed around the motor 1, making the heat dissipation of the motor 1 more uniform during operation and preventing local overheating of the motor 1. The edges of the guide vanes 9 are each provided with chamfers 11, which make the airflow through the guide vanes 9 smoother and prevent the operator from being scratched by the sharp edges of the guide vanes 9 when installing and removing the guide vanes 9.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 A plurality of heat dissipation slots 20 are provided on the motor 1. When the motor 1 is running, gas flows through the heat dissipation slots 20, which increases the heat dissipation area of the motor 1 and improves the heat dissipation effect of the motor 1.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first flange 12 is provided at one end of the gathering cover 6 near the air inlet 7, and the second flange 13 is provided at one end of the gathering cover 6 near the air outlet 8. The arrangement of the first flange 12 and the second flange 13 facilitates the operator to disassemble or install the self-cooling fan.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 A first annular plate 14 is integrally formed at one end of the guide shell 2 near the gathering hood 6, and a second annular plate 15 is integrally formed at one end of the gathering hood 6 near the guide shell 2. The first annular plate 14 and the second annular plate 15 are coaxially fixed, and the second annular plate 15 is located inside the first annular plate 14, so that the connection between the gathering hood 6 and the guide shell 2 is tightly sealed. A fixing component is provided between the gathering hood 6 and the guide shell 2, and the fixing component is used to fix the gathering hood 6 and the guide shell 2.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fixing assembly includes a plurality of first protrusions 16 integrally formed at one end of the gathering cover 6 and a plurality of second protrusions 17 integrally formed at one end of the guide shell 2. A first hole 18 is opened on the first protrusion 16, and a second hole 19 is opened on the second protrusion 17. The first hole 18 cooperates with the second hole 19. A bolt is provided between the first protrusion 16 and the second protrusion 17. The bolt passes through the first hole 18 and is fixed in the second hole 19, thereby fixing the guide shell 2 and the gathering cover 6.

[0042] The implementation principle of a self-cooling fan in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: the self-cooling fan can be fixed to other equipment through a first flange 12 and a second flange 13. During the operation of the self-cooling fan, the motor 1 drives the rotation of the fan blades 5, forming a pressure difference inside and outside the gathering hood 6, and sucking air from the air inlet 7 into the gathering hood 6. Under the action of the fan blades 5, the air flow passes through the guide holes 10, and under the action of the guide holes 10, the air flow is evenly blown toward the motor 1, and the heat on the motor 1 is taken away by heat transfer, so that the motor 1 is cooled, so that the self-cooling fan can operate for a long time in a high-temperature environment.
