[0032] The oil inlet assembly 10 includes an oil inlet shaft 11, a bearing 12, a combined seal 13, and a retaining spring 14. The oil inlet shaft is a cylindrical machined component with an oil inlet passage defined therein. The oil inlet shaft is segmented and includes an oil inlet end 111, an oil outlet end 112, and a bearing mounting section and a dynamic seal section located between the two ends.

[0033] A shoulder 15 and a retaining spring mounting groove are provided on the outer side of the oil inlet shaft 11. The shoulder 15 is used for installing the bearing. Specifically, the shoulder 15 is used to position and fix the inner ring of the bearing, and at least two bearings 12 are installed on the oil inlet shaft between the shoulder 15 and the retaining spring mounting groove. A retaining spring 14 is installed in the retaining spring mounting groove. The retaining spring acts on the inner ring of the bearing to firmly fix the bearing on the bearing mounting section of the above-mentioned oil inlet shaft.

[0034] Furthermore, the two bearings 12 are deep groove ball bearings used in combination, preferably maintenance-free deep groove ball bearings with dust covers.

[0035] Furthermore, the two bearings 12 are deep groove ball bearings used in combination, preferably maintenance-free deep groove ball bearings with dust covers, and are arranged in a back-to-back or face-to-face combination.

[0036] Furthermore, the above-mentioned deep groove ball bearing can be replaced by other bearings with similar effects, which is also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] At least one set of combined seals 13 is installed on the dynamic sealing section of the oil inlet shaft. The combined seals are installed on the oil inlet shaft in a sleeve-type manner.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the combined seal 13 includes a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) seal ring 131 and a rubber seal ring 132. The polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) seal ring has a certain thickness, which is theoretically no less than the radius of the oil inlet shaft and no less than 6 mm, to ensure axial rigidity. A mounting groove for the rubber seal ring is provided in the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) seal ring 131. The rubber seal ring is installed in the mounting groove. After installation, the rubber seal ring and the polytetrafluoroethylene seal ring form an integral unit, i.e., the combined seal. This combined seal can be used in combination; for example, one or two sets can be mounted on the oil inlet shaft as needed.

[0039] Furthermore, the above-mentioned rubber sealing ring is an O-shaped rubber sealing ring, or a sealing ring made of other materials with similar effects.

[0040] Furthermore, the side of the aforementioned PTFE seal ring 131 is provided with an annular groove 133, which effectively improves the elasticity of the PTFE seal ring, allowing it to maintain sufficient elastic contact with the surface of the oil inlet shaft. This has a positive effect on compensating for deformation of the PTFE seal ring after the temperature rises.

[0041] A fan housing has a mounting hole for an oil inlet assembly on the front housing 20. The mounting hole is a through hole for mounting the oil inlet assembly. Four scenarios are described below based on the different mounting methods of the oil inlet assembly on the front housing:

[0042] Method 1, reference Figure 2 The oil inlet assembly is installed using an internally mounted, dual-seal structure. The so-called internal mounting refers to the following: an annular raised ring 21 is positioned within the mounting hole. The outer side of this raised ring 21 is mounted to mate with the bearing, with the outer ring of the bearing resting against the raised ring. A retaining spring mounting groove is provided in the mounting hole on the outer side of the raised ring, and a retaining spring 14 is installed therein, securing the bearing. Two sets of combined seals are installed from the inside of the mounting hole on the other side of the raised ring. These are then fitted onto the oil inlet shaft and initially positioned by the rubber sealing ring. The two sets of combined seals are spaced a certain distance apart.

[0043] Method 2, reference Figure 3 The oil inlet assembly is installed using an external, dual-seal structure. External installation refers to the installation of a shoulder 23 within the mounting hole, with the oil inlet assembly installed from the outside. The combined seal rests against this shoulder 23, and a retaining spring 14 is used at the outer end of the mounting hole to quickly secure the oil inlet assembly. This installation method is faster and more efficient than the wall method. It should be noted that in this method, an annular bearing pad 22 is installed in the gap between the two combined seals and between the combined seal and the bearing to maintain a predetermined spacing between them. This installation method requires only a single retaining spring for quick installation from the outside.

[0044] Method 3, reference Figure 4 , the oil inlet assembly is installed with an internal installation and a single sealing structure. The so-called internal installation means that an annular convex ring 21 is provided in the mounting hole, and the outer side of the convex ring is installed to cooperate with the bearing, that is, the outer ring of the bearing is against the convex ring, and a retaining ring mounting groove is provided at the mounting hole on the outer side of the convex ring and a retaining ring 14 is installed to achieve fixed installation of the above-mentioned bearing. A group of combined seals are installed from the inside into the mounting hole on the other side of the convex ring 21, and are mounted on the above-mentioned oil inlet shaft and are initially positioned under the action of the rubber sealing ring. An annular retaining ring 24 is provided on both sides of the combined seal. The annular retaining ring is preferably a metal retaining ring. The two annular retaining rings limit the axial displacement of the combined seal and have a limiting effect. Refer to Figure 4 One of the annular retaining rings is clamped in the retaining ring mounting groove of the mounting hole using a retaining ring.

[0045] Method 4, reference Figure 5 The oil inlet assembly is installed using an external, single-seal structure. External installation means that a shoulder 23 is positioned within the mounting hole, the oil inlet assembly is installed from the outside, the combined seal rests against this shoulder 23, and a retaining spring is used at the outer end of the mounting hole to quickly secure the oil inlet assembly. This installation method is faster and more efficient than the wall-mounted method. It is important to note that in this method, an annular bearing washer 22 is placed in the gap between the combined seal and the bearing to maintain a predetermined spacing between them. This installation method requires only a single retaining spring for quick installation from the outside.

[0046] A reversing fan includes a housing, a piston 30, a return spring 40, a blade shaft 50, blades, an eccentric pin 60, etc., wherein the piston 30 is installed in the piston cavity of the housing and has a propulsion action under the drive of the hydraulic oil of the oil inlet assembly. The return spring is installed in the opposite direction of the oil inlet assembly and acts together with the hydraulic oil to realize the reciprocating motion of the piston. A slide groove is provided on the piston, and the slide groove is used to slide with the eccentric pin. The above-mentioned blade shaft is rotatably installed in the shaft hole of the housing through a bearing assembly. The shaft hole is perpendicular to the axis of movement of the above-mentioned piston. The outer end of the blade shaft is equipped with blades, and the inner end is located in the housing and is fixedly installed with an eccentric pin. The eccentric pin has an eccentric position relative to the axis of the blade shaft. When the above-mentioned piston reciprocates, it drives the above-mentioned blade shaft to perform an angle adjustment action. The housing of the reversing fan consists of two parts, a front housing and a rear housing, that is, a two-part design. It can also be designed to consist of three parts, a front part, a rear part, and a middle part, that is, a three-part design according to needs. All of these are within the scope of application of this oil inlet assembly and should be protected. Whether it is a two-part design or a three-part design,

[0047] The front housing has a mounting hole for the oil inlet assembly. The mounting method of the oil inlet assembly and the front housing can refer to the above description and will not be repeated here.

[0048] The embodiments described above are merely descriptions of preferred implementations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
