[0036] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the axial flow wind wheel of the embodiment of the present invention comprises a hub 1 and a plurality of blades 2, wherein the plurality of blades 2 are provided on the outer peripheral side of the hub 1 and are spaced apart along the circumference of the hub 1. For example, the hub 1 can be generally a cap-shaped structure, and an open inner cavity is provided in the hub 1, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sealing end of the hub 1 can face the air inlet side during use, and the opening of the inner cavity of the hub 1 can face the air outlet side during use.

[0038] The fan blades 2 can be integrally molded on the outer peripheral side of the hub 1 . Three fan blades 2 can be provided, and the three fan blades 2 can be arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the hub 1 .

[0039] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the structure of the three above-mentioned fan blades 2 can be the same, and the outer peripheral contour of each fan blade 2 can have four edges, which are the above-mentioned front edge 21, rear edge 22, inner edge 23 and outer edge 24. Among them, the front edge 21 and the rear edge 22 are oppositely arranged in the circumferential direction of the hub 1, and the inner edge 23 and the outer edge 24 are oppositely arranged in the radial direction of the hub 1, and the inner edge 23 is connected with the hub 1, for example, the inner edge 23 is integrally injection molded with the hub 1.

[0040] The suction surface 20 of the fan blade 2 is provided with a recess 25, and at least part of the outer peripheral contour of the recess 25 is formed by inwardly offsetting the front edge 21, rear edge 22, inner edge 23 and outer edge 24. For example, as shown in Figure 1 As shown, the suction surface 20 of the fan blade 2 can be the surface of the fan blade 2 facing the air inlet side in use, the recess 25 can be a groove structure provided on the suction surface 20, and the overall shape of the outer peripheral contour of the recess 25 can be similar to the shape of the fan blade 2, that is, the outer peripheral contour of the recess 25 can be considered as being formed by offsetting the above-mentioned front edge 21, rear edge 22, inner edge 23 and outer edge 24 of the fan blade 2 inwardly.

[0041] The axial flow fan of the embodiment of the utility model, the recess 25 is arranged on each fan blade 2, and the recess 25 is arranged in one aspect to reduce the material and consumables of the fan blade 2, so that the overall cost can be reduced and the lightweight design of the axial flow fan can be realized.

[0042] Secondly, when the axial flow fan rotates, the added recess 25 can perform lag processing on the separation of the suction surface 20, so that the vortex of the suction surface 20 can form two-stage separation in advance, that is, part of the flow will flow along the recess 25, and the two-stage separation will make the original separation point lag, so that the pressure intensity at the blade tip position can be reduced, and the effect of reducing the noise of the impeller rotation is achieved.

[0043] In some embodiments, the rear edge 22 is provided with a groove 221, and the groove 221 is arranged adjacent to the outer edge 24 in the radial direction of the hub 1. For example, as shown in Figure 2 As shown, the groove 221 can be a circular arc groove, and each rear edge 22 can be provided with one groove 221, and each groove 221 is arranged more adjacent to the outer edge 24 than the inner edge 23 in the radial direction of the hub 1.

[0044] The arranged groove 221 can effectively reduce the vortex shedding of the tail of the fan blade 2, and can further reduce the noise generated by the tail edge vortex. Secondly, the arrangement of the groove 221 can further reduce the consumables and materials, and the lightweight design of the axial flow fan can be further realized.

[0045] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the outer contour of the recess 25 can be trapezoidal in shape as a whole, with the recess 25 having a front contour line 251, a rear contour line 252, an inner contour line 253, and an outer contour line 254. The front contour line 251 is formed by offsetting the leading edge 21, the rear contour line 252 is formed by offsetting the leading edge 21, the inner contour line 253 is formed by offsetting the inner edge 23, and the outer contour line 254 is formed by offsetting the outer edge 24. This design, in which the outer contour of the recess 25 is similar to the shape of the fan blade 2, allows the recess 25 to substantially cover the entire fan blade 2, further reducing its usage and achieving lightweighting.

[0046] In some embodiments, the leading edge 21, trailing edge 22, inner edge 23, outer edge 24, front contour line 251, rear contour line 252, inner contour line 253, and outer contour line 254 may all be curved, wherein the front contour line 251 has the same curvature as the leading edge 21, the rear contour line 252 has the same curvature as the trailing edge 22, the inner contour line 253 has the same curvature as the inner edge 23, and the outer contour line 254 has the same curvature as the outer edge 24. This further ensures that the outer contour of the recess 25 is similar to the shape of the blade 2, which is also conducive to further enhancing the two-stage separation effect and reducing noise.

[0047] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the line connecting the connection between the leading edge 21 and the outer edge 24 and the center of the hub 1 forms a first line 3, and the line connecting the connection between the front contour line 251 and the outer contour line 254 and the center of the hub 1 forms a second line 4. The first line 3 and the second line 4 form an angle a1.

[0048] The line connecting the connection between the rear edge 22 and the outer edge 24 and the center of the hub 1 forms a third line 5, and the line connecting the connection between the rear contour line 252 and the outer contour line 254 and the center of the hub 1 forms a fourth line 6. The third line 5 and the fourth line 6 form an angle a2.

[0049] The angle a1 is greater than the angle a2, so that the distance between the first connecting line 3 and the second connecting line 4 at the blade tip is larger, which fully ensures the structural strength of the blade tip, avoids the blade tip from vibrating and deforming under high wind pressure, and improves the stability of use.

[0050] In some embodiments, the angle a1 is between 8° and 12°. For example, the angle a1 can be 8°, 9°, 10°, 11°, 12°, etc. When the angle a1 is within this range, the leading edge 21 can have a good weight reduction effect while maintaining the structural strength.

[0051] In some embodiments, the angle a2 is between 2° and 4°. For example, the angle a2 can be 2°, 3°, 4°, etc. Within this range, the angle a2 can ensure the structural strength of the trailing edge 22 while achieving a good weight reduction effect.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first connecting line 3, the second connecting line 4, the third connecting line 5, and the fourth connecting line 6 may all be tangent lines, wherein the first connecting line 3 is a tangent line at the connection between the leading edge 21 and the outer edge 24, the second connecting line 4 is a tangent line between the front contour line 251 and the outer contour line 254, the third connecting line 5 is a tangent line at the connection between the trailing edge 22 and the outer edge 24, and the fourth connecting line 6 is a tangent line between the trailing contour line 252 and the outer contour line 254. This makes each connecting line unique, facilitating the determination and positioning of each connecting line.

[0053] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the distance between the inner edge 23 and the outer edge 24 is d, which can be the distance between the inner edge 23 and the outer edge 24 in the radial direction of the hub 1. The distance between the outer contour line 254 and the outer edge 24 is d1, which can be the distance between the outer contour line 254 and the outer edge 24 in the radial direction of the hub 1. 0.08≤d1 / d≤0.1. For example, the ratio of distance d1 to distance d can be 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, etc.

[0054] Since the airflow velocity at the blade tip is very high during rotation, limiting the ratio of the distance d1 to the distance d within the above range avoids the blade tip being thinner due to the setting of the recess 25, thereby fully ensuring the structural strength of the blade tip.

[0055] In some embodiments, the distance between the inner contour line 253 and the inner edge 23 is d2, which can be the radial spacing between the inner contour line 253 and the inner edge 23 in the hub 1, and 0.15≤d2 / d≤0.18. For example, the ratio of the distance d2 to the distance d can be 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, etc.

[0056] Since stress concentration occurs at the blade root during rotation, limiting the ratio of the distance d2 to the distance d within the above range avoids the blade root from being thinner due to the provision of the recess 25, thereby fully ensuring the structural strength of the blade root.

[0057] In some embodiments, the depth dimension M of the recess 25 is 1 mm to 4 mm. Figure 3As shown, the depth dimension M of the recess 25 can be a dimension along the axial direction, and the depth dimension M can be 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, etc., thereby constraining the groove depth of the recess 25. While achieving lightweight, it also avoids the situation where the groove depth is too deep and the structure is significantly weakened. Secondly, it is also beneficial to enhance the two-stage separation effect of the incoming flow.

[0058] The following describes the fan equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] The fan device of the present invention includes an axial flow fan wheel, which can be any of the axial flow fan wheels described in any of the above embodiments. The fan device can specifically be an air conditioner outdoor unit. In other embodiments, the fan device can also be a fan, an industrial fan, a vehicle fan, or other fan devices.

[0060] The fan blades of the fan device in the embodiment of the utility model are provided with recesses, which can effectively reduce the weight of the wind wheel, reduce the amount of consumables, and reduce costs. At the same time, it can also effectively reduce the noise of the wind wheel, ensure the sound quality when the wind wheel is running, and improve the user experience.

[0061] Although the above embodiments have been shown and described, it is understood that the above embodiments are illustrative and cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention. Changes, modifications, substitutions and variations of the above embodiments made by ordinary technicians in this field are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
