Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oblique flow fans, in particular to a low-noise oblique flow fan. Background Art

[0002] Diagonal flow fans, also known as mixed flow fans, are a type of fan between axial flow fans and centrifugal fans. Their unique impeller design creates both centrifugal and axial motion as the air passes through them, creating a blend of both axial and centrifugal flow. Diagonal flow fans use angled blades to spin the air into a spiral flow that propels it toward the outlet. This process, the air is subjected to both centrifugal and axial forces, achieving a good balance between air volume and pressure.

[0003] However, diagonal flow fans face noise issues in practical applications, particularly at the junction of the two barrels. This noise is generated by the intense interaction between the high-speed rotation of the blades and the airflow. At high speeds, friction and impact between the blades and the airflow exacerbate the noise. Furthermore, the junction of the two barrels may contain gaps, unevenness, and other structural issues. This creates complex flow phenomena such as eddies and turbulence, further exacerbating the generation and propagation of noise. Utility Model Content

[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] In today's industrial landscape, where both efficiency and environmental protection are paramount, low-noise diagonal flow fans, with their superior performance and unique design, have become an ideal choice for numerous applications. This article will provide a detailed analysis of a typical low-noise diagonal flow fan. By providing detailed and empirical research, it will delve into its structural characteristics, operating principles, and noise reduction mechanisms, presenting a more comprehensive and vivid image of the fan.

[0027] See also Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, this low-noise diagonal flow blower features an ingenious design and compact structure, primarily consisting of core components such as the support legs, barrel, impeller 5, and drive unit 6. The first support leg 2 is securely welded to the bottom of the first barrel 2, providing a solid foundation for the entire blower. The second barrel 4 is cleverly positioned at the side of the first barrel 2, creating a unique asymmetric layout that optimizes air flow and reduces wind resistance. The second support leg 3 is also welded to the bottom of the second barrel 4, further enhancing the stability of the overall structure.

[0028] The drive unit 6 is cleverly installed within the first barrel 2 and connected to the impeller 5 via a precise transmission mechanism. The impeller 5, the "heart" of the entire blower, is located within the second barrel 4. When the drive unit 6 is activated, it rotates at high speed, generating a powerful airflow. This design not only improves energy conversion efficiency but also ensures long-term, stable operation of the blower.

[0029] To achieve low-noise operation, the fan features a clever connection flange 7 at the barrel connection, connected to a unique storage ring 8 via a lateral flange 9. The inner wall of storage ring 8 is covered with carefully designed through-slots 10, which tightly connect to storage blocks 13 within a storage compartment 12. Storage blocks 13 are filled with highly efficient porous sound-absorbing materials 15, such as organic fiber, glass wool, mineral wool, or rock wool. These materials, with their excellent sound-absorbing properties, effectively absorb the noise generated during fan operation.

[0030] Elastic strips 14 are embedded on both sides of the storage block 13. These strips not only secure the storage block 13 but also deform when squeezed by external forces, allowing it to more closely adhere to the walls of the storage bin 12, further enhancing the sound absorption effect. When the fan is running, the airflow through the slots 10 and the porous sound-absorbing material 15 work together to significantly reduce noise, creating a quieter working environment for the user.

[0031] This blower also demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship in its attention to detail. Both the first barrel 2 and the second barrel 4 utilize a frustoconical design, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also effectively directs airflow, enhancing blower performance. Furthermore, the large-diameter flange at the barrel connection fits tightly with the lateral flange 9, complemented by high-quality sealing rings, ensuring a tight seal between the barrels and preventing air leakage.

[0032] Furthermore, the elastic strips 14 on the storage block 13 are made of a resilient metal sheet with a C-shaped cross-section. This design ensures sufficient elasticity while maintaining stable performance over long-term use. The opening at the bottom of the storage block 13 is aligned with the through-slot 10, allowing airflow to flow smoothly through the sound-absorbing material, achieving optimal sound absorption.

[0033] In summary, this low-noise diagonal flow fan stands out among other fan products thanks to its sophisticated structural design, efficient drive system, and innovative noise reduction mechanism. It not only meets modern industry's demands for high efficiency, energy conservation, and environmental protection, but also provides users with a more comfortable and quiet working environment. With the continuous advancement of technology and the emergence of innovative designs, we have reason to believe that future fan products will be even more intelligent, efficient, and environmentally friendly, contributing even more to the sustainable development of mankind.
