Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A centrifugal fan mainly consists of an impeller, a volute, and a motor. The impeller is the main working component that generates wind pressure and transmits energy; the volute is mainly used to introduce and exhaust gas, while converting part of the kinetic energy of the gas into pressure energy. The working principle of a centrifugal fan is mainly to generate centrifugal force through the high-speed rotation of the impeller, throwing the gas from the center of the impeller to the volute, so that the gas gains kinetic energy and pressure energy. Driven by the impeller, the gas leaves the impeller in the radial direction and relies on the centrifugal force generated to do work. When flowing through the impeller, the gas changes to radial direction and enters the diffuser. The cross-section of the diffuser gradually expands, converting part of the kinetic energy into pressure energy, so that the outlet gas has a certain pressure energy and is transported out.

[0003] In low-noise ventilation and air-conditioning systems, the noise requirements for centrifugal fans are high. Ordinary centrifugal fans generally reduce noise by reducing the fan speed, but they cannot meet the low noise requirements in places with high noise requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a low-noise centrifugal fan to solve the technical problem of high noise of the centrifugal fan in the prior art.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a low-noise centrifugal fan, including a volute, which is provided with an air outlet, wherein a plurality of noise reduction holes are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the volute, a silencer cover is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the volute, and a sound-absorbing layer is provided between the silencer cover and the outer peripheral wall of the volute, the sound-absorbing layer is arranged along the circumference of the outer peripheral wall of the volute and covers all the noise reduction holes, and the sound-absorbing layer is pressed from at least one sound-absorbing material.

[0006] After adopting the above structure, the utility model has the following advantages: when the low-noise centrifugal fan is working, when the noise wave generated by the air flow in the volute is incident on the surface of the volute, a part of it will be reflected back by the surface of the volute, thereby reducing the propagation of the noise. At the same time, the noise reduction through-hole causes the reflected noise wave to be refracted and diffracted differently, thereby achieving the effect of noise reduction, and part of the noise wave propagated out from the noise reduction through-hole is absorbed by the sound-absorbing layer made of sound-absorbing material, thereby also achieving the effect of noise reduction; the utility model achieves better noise reduction effect through the combined action of the volute, the noise reduction through-hole and the sound-absorbing layer, meeting the use of ventilation and air-conditioning systems with low environmental noise.

[0007] As an improvement, a closed accommodating cavity is provided between the silencer hood and the outer peripheral wall of the volute, and the sound-absorbing layer is arranged in the accommodating cavity; with this structure, a closed accommodating cavity is formed by the silencer hood and the outer peripheral wall of the volute, and the sound-absorbing layer is arranged in the accommodating cavity, so that the silencer hood can also play a role in noise reduction, further improving the noise reduction effect.

[0008] As an improvement, the silencer hood includes a circumferential portion, a front partition, a rear partition, a first end partition and a second end partition. The circumferential portion is arranged along the outer peripheral wall of the volute, the front partition and the rear partition are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the circumferential portion, the first end partition and the second end partition are respectively arranged at the circumferential ends of the circumference of the circumferential portion, the front partition, the rear partition, the first end partition and the second end partition are all connected to the outer peripheral wall of the volute, and the front partition, the rear partition, the first end partition, the second end partition and the circumferential portion are enclosed to form a accommodating cavity; with this structure, the circumferential portion, the front partition, the rear partition, the first end partition and the second end partition of the silencer hood can also play a role in isolating and reducing noise, further improving the noise reduction effect.

[0009] As an improvement, the first end baffle and the second end baffle are both provided with connecting plates, and the two connecting plates are connected to the outer peripheral wall of the volute by bolts; this structure has the advantages of simple structure and convenient connection.

[0010] As an improvement, the sound-absorbing layer includes a first sound-absorbing layer and a second sound-absorbing layer from the inside to the outside, and the density of the second sound-absorbing layer is greater than the density of the first sound-absorbing layer. With this structure, the noise is absorbed layer by layer by arranging the first sound-absorbing layer and the second sound-absorbing layer with increasing density, thereby further improving the noise reduction effect.

[0011] As an improvement, the first sound-absorbing layer is pressed from glass fiber yarns, and the second sound-absorbing layer is pressed from felt. With this structure, the first sound-absorbing layer made of glass fiber yarns and the second sound-absorbing layer made of felt absorb the energy of sound waves, thereby reducing the reflection and propagation of sound waves and further improving the noise reduction effect.

[0012] As an improvement, the cross-section of the noise reduction through holes is circular, the aperture of the noise reduction through holes is 3mm, and the perforation rate of the outer wall of the vortex casing is 1.6%; this structure further improves the noise reduction effect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following is a detailed description of a low-noise centrifugal fan of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a low-noise centrifugal fan includes a volute 1, which is provided with an air outlet 2, wherein the air outlet 2 is arranged on the outer wall of the volute 1, a motor 7 is connected to the end face of the volute 1, and a plurality of impellers 8 are arranged along the circumferential direction in the inner cavity of the volute 1. The specific arrangement of the air outlet 2, the motor 7 and the impeller 8 is the same as that in the prior art and will not be repeated here.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of noise reduction through holes 3 are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the volute 1. The noise reduction through holes 3 are distributed in an array along the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral wall of the volute 1 and are only distributed on the outer peripheral wall of the volute 1. No noise reduction through holes 3 are provided on the two opposite end faces of the volute 1.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, a silencer cover 4 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the volute 1, and a silencer layer 5 is provided between the silencer cover 4 and the outer peripheral wall of the volute 1. The silencer layer 5 is arranged circumferentially along the outer peripheral wall of the volute 1 and covers all noise reduction through holes 3. The silencer layer 5 is pressed from at least one sound-absorbing material.

[0023] like Figure 4As shown, a closed accommodating chamber 6 is provided between the silencer cover 4 and the outer peripheral wall of the volute 1, and the sound-absorbing layer 5 is provided in the accommodating chamber 6; specifically, the silencer cover 4 includes a circumferential portion 41, a front partition 42, a rear partition 43, a first end partition 44 and a second end partition 45, the circumferential portion 41 is arranged along the outer peripheral wall of the volute 1, the front partition 42 and the rear partition 43 are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the circumferential portion 41, the first end partition 44 and the second end partition 45 are respectively arranged at the circumferential ends of the circumferential portion 41, the front partition 42, the rear partition 43, the first end partition 44 and the second end partition 45 are all connected to the outer peripheral wall of the volute 1 The front partition 42, the rear partition 43, the first end partition 44, the second end partition 45 and the circumferential portion 41 together form an accommodating chamber 6, wherein the front partition 42 and the rear partition 43 are both arranged on the front and rear sides of the circumferential portion 41 along the circumferential direction of the circumferential portion 41, and the circumferential portion 41 covers all the noise reduction through holes 3. That is to say, after the silencer 4 is connected to the volute 1, all the noise reduction through holes 3 are located in the accommodating chamber 6, and the front partition 42, the rear partition 43, the first end partition 44 and the second end partition 45 are all attached to the outer peripheral wall of the volute 1, and the sound-absorbing layer 5 fills the entire accommodating chamber 6.

[0024] In addition, if Figure 4 As shown, the first end baffle 44 and the second end baffle 45 are both provided with a connecting plate 46 , and the two connecting plates 46 are connected to the outer peripheral wall of the volute 1 by bolts. Similarly, the two connecting plates 46 are also attached to the outer peripheral wall of the volute 1 .

[0025] The sound-absorbing layer 5 includes, from the inside out, a first sound-absorbing layer and a second sound-absorbing layer. The second sound-absorbing layer has a higher density than the first sound-absorbing layer. In this embodiment, the first sound-absorbing layer is formed by pressing glass fiber yarn, and the second sound-absorbing layer is formed by pressing felt. In other embodiments, a third sound-absorbing layer, or even more, may be provided in addition to the first and second sound-absorbing layers. The sound-absorbing material is a material with a high sound absorption coefficient. In addition to the two aforementioned materials, other materials such as foam plastics may also be used.

[0026] When the gas passes through the portion of the volute 1 provided with the noise reduction through hole 3, the gas flow rate will increase, resulting in a decrease in the pressure of the gas. This pressure drop is controlled by the geometric shape and aperture size of the noise reduction through hole 3. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the noise reduction through hole 3 is circular, the aperture of the noise reduction through hole 3 is 3 mm, the perforation rate of the outer wall of the volute 1 is 1.6%, and the thickness of the outer wall of the volute 1 is 1.2 mm, thereby producing a better noise reduction effect.

[0027] When the low-noise centrifugal fan is working, when the noise waves generated by the air flow in the volute 1 are incident on the surface of the volute 1, a part of them will be reflected back by the surface of the volute 1, thereby reducing the propagation of the noise. At the same time, the noise reduction through-hole 3 causes the reflected noise waves to be refracted and diffracted differently, thereby achieving the effect of noise reduction, and part of the noise waves propagated out from the noise reduction through-hole 3 is absorbed by the sound-absorbing layer 5 made of sound-absorbing material, thereby also achieving the effect of noise reduction. In addition, in addition to being used to fix the sound-absorbing layer 5, the sound-absorbing cover 4 can also play a certain role in isolating the noise. The utility model achieves better noise reduction effect through the combined action of the volute 1, the noise reduction through-hole 3, the sound-absorbing layer 5 and the sound-absorbing cover 4, meeting the use of ventilation and air-conditioning systems with low environmental noise.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
