Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling fans, in particular to a noise-reducing engine cooling fan. Background Art

[0002] Tractors play a vital role in agricultural production, and the noise generated by their engines is often a major factor affecting operator comfort and work efficiency. Traditional engine cooling fans simply dissipate heat and do not address noise reduction. While some noise-reducing fan products exist on the market, most rely on improved materials or soundproofing designs, failing to fundamentally address the noise issues caused by airflow vortices and turbulence. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a noise-reducing engine cooling fan, which can significantly reduce the noise generated by the cooling fan during operation.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a noise-reducing engine cooling fan, comprising a plurality of fan blades, each of which is provided with at least 6 noise-reduction holes, the noise-reduction holes being evenly distributed between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the fan blade, and a plurality of semicircular blade tip structures being evenly provided along the edge of the leading edge of the fan blade.

[0005] Preferably, the noise reduction holes are arranged on the fan blades in a ring or arc shape as a whole.

[0006] Preferably, the diameter range of the noise reduction holes is set to be 0.5 mm to 2 mm.

[0007] Preferably, the thickness of the semicircle of the semicircular blade tip structure is 20%-30% of the thickness of the leading edge of the fan blade, and the tooth spacing is 1 cm to 2 cm.

[0008] Preferably, the fan blades are made of polypropylene or polycarbonate.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0010] This solution sets at least 6 noise reduction holes on the fan blades. According to the principles of fluid mechanics, when the airflow passes through these noise reduction holes, local negative pressure is generated, thereby forming micro-vortices, thereby effectively reducing the disturbance and noise of the airflow. The cooling fan can form a stable airflow during operation, reducing the noise caused by the instability of the airflow. The noise reduction holes are evenly distributed between the leading and trailing edges of the fan blades to ensure uniform dispersion of the airflow and maximize the noise reduction effect. The diameter range of the noise reduction holes is set to 0.5mm to 2mm, which can effectively balance the needs of air flow and noise control.

[0011] This solution optimizes turbulence at the end of the airflow by uniformly distributing multiple semicircular blade tips along the leading edge of the fan blade. The semicircular tip structures have a thickness of 20%-30% of the leading edge thickness of the fan blade, and the teeth are spaced 1cm to 2cm apart. This ensures smooth flow diversion during passage, reducing impact and turbulence, and thus reducing noise caused by unstable airflow. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] The utility model discloses a noise-reducing engine cooling fan. Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment includes a plurality of fan blades 4, and the fan blades 4 are made of polypropylene or polycarbonate material.

[0020] The fan blades 4 are provided with at least six noise-reducing holes 1. According to the principles of fluid mechanics, when air flows through these holes 1, local negative pressure is generated, thereby forming micro-vortices, which effectively reduce airflow disturbances and noise. This allows the cooling fan to generate a stable airflow during operation, reducing noise caused by airflow instability.

[0021] The noise reduction holes 1 are arranged in a circular or arc-shaped pattern on the fan blades 4. They are evenly distributed between the leading and trailing edges of the fan blades 4 to ensure uniform airflow dispersion and maximize noise reduction. The diameter of the holes 1 ranges from 0.5mm to 2mm, effectively balancing the requirements of air flow and noise control.

[0022] Multiple semicircular tip structures 2 are evenly spaced along the leading edge of the fan blades 4, optimizing for turbulent airflow at the end. The thickness of the semicircle of these tip structures 2 is 20%-30% of the thickness of the leading edge of the fan blade 4, and the tooth spacing is 1cm to 2cm. This ensures smooth flow diversion during passage, reducing impact and turbulence, and thus reducing noise caused by unstable airflow.

[0023] The engine cooling fan is equipped with an electronic control system consisting of a rotating motor 3, a control unit 6, and a temperature sensor 5. The rotating motor 3 rotates the fan blades 4, and a speed sensor is provided on the rotating motor 3 to detect its rotational speed. The temperature sensor 5 monitors the engine's operating temperature in real time and feeds this data back to the control unit 6. The control unit 6 automatically adjusts the speed of the rotating motor 3 based on the engine's real-time temperature and a preset cooling strategy to achieve efficient cooling.
