Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fan technology, and more specifically, to a semi-open axial flow fan. Background Technology

[0002] Axial flow fans consist of a hub and multiple blades distributed around the hub. The blades have airfoils, leading edges, and trailing edges. Air flows in from the leading edge of the blades, is pressurized by the airfoils, and flows out from the trailing edge of the blades to propel the air to flow in the same direction as the axis. They are commonly used in fans or other ventilation equipment.

[0003] Slight deformation of the blades can easily occur during production or storage and transportation. Due to the high overall structural strength of the thicker blades, it is difficult for them to automatically deform and find a new balance point during operation. This ultimately causes the axial flow fan to vibrate and generate noise during operation. Moreover, the fan usually uses irregularly shaped blades to achieve large air volume and low noise, but the effect is not good and it is impossible to achieve a balance between air volume and noise, resulting in a poor customer experience.

[0004] As disclosed in patent announcement CN217271003U, a seven-bladed high-efficiency, low-noise axial flow fan includes: a hub with a built-in drive motor and an outer wall; a rim; and seven identical composite blades evenly arranged between the outer wall and the rim. Each composite blade includes a main wing and a tip winglet. The main wing includes a blade root fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hub and a blade tip fixedly connected to the rim. The main wing has ten interlocking cross-sections along the blade height direction, where cross-section S0 is the blade root cross-section, cross-section S10 is the blade tip cross-section, and S1 to S9 are located between them. Each cross-section is configured by its cross-sectional diameter, chord length, and installation angle. However, during operation, a large amount of dust accumulates at the rim, causing uneven weight distribution and swaying during operation. Furthermore, the dust accumulation is difficult to clean, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, resulting in significant limitations. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a semi-open axial flow fan.

[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A semi-open axial flow fan includes a hub with an outer wall. A set of blades is evenly distributed on the outer circumference of the outer wall. Each blade includes at least a main wing and blade roots and tips at its two ends. The main wing has ten interlocking cross-sections along its height direction, where cross-section S0 is the blade root cross-section, cross-section S9 is the blade tip cross-section, and cross-sections S1 to S8 are located between them. Each cross-section is configured by its diameter, chord length, and installation angle.

[0008]

[0009] Preferably, the airfoil of the blade (3) has a geometric shape, formed by smoothly connecting the two-dimensional coordinates of each point on the pressure surface and the suction surface, wherein the two-dimensional coordinates of the pressure surface and the suction surface are respectively:

[0010]

[0011]

[0012]

[0013] Preferably, using the trailing edge axial reference line of the blade root section as a reference, the trailing edge axial offset distances of sections S1 to S9 are as follows:

[0014]

[0015]

[0016] Preferably, each section of the main wing (31) curves forward along the trailing edge in the circumferential direction, with the following curve angles:

[0017]

[0018] Preferably, seven blades (3) are evenly distributed on the outer circumferential surface of the outer wall (2) of the hub. The leading edges of each blade (3) are non-uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction. The two sides of the leading edges form a non-uniform angle α with the center of the hub (1). The non-uniform angle data of each blade (3) are as follows:

[0019] blade Circumferential non-uniform angle (degree) Leaf #1 0 Leaf #2 2.7 Leaf #3 -0.4 Leaf #4 1.8 Leaf #5 -0.8 Blade #6 3.1 Leaf #7 -0.5 .

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are mainly reflected in its compact structure, reasonable layout, and optimized number of blades. Furthermore, under the same wind pressure conditions, this invention significantly improves airflow and efficiency while greatly reducing noise. In addition, compared with existing technologies, the elimination of the wheel rim avoids dust accumulation and greatly improves cleanliness. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a semi-open axial flow fan, including a hub 1. The hub 1 has an outer wall 2, and a set of blades 3 are evenly distributed on the outer circumferential surface of the outer wall 2. In this embodiment, seven blades 3 are evenly distributed on the outer circumferential surface of the outer wall 2. The leading edges of each blade 3 are non-uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction, and the two sides of the leading edges form a non-uniform angle α with the center of the hub 1. Taking the direction in the same direction as the rotation direction of the hub 1 as a positive value, the non-uniform angle data of each blade 3 are as follows:

Each cross section is configured by the cross section diameter, chord length, and installation angle.

[0032]

[0033] Furthermore, the airfoil of blade 3 is a composite airfoil, based on the NACA-6407 airfoil, with a portion of the trailing edge removed to give the airfoil a geometric shape. It is formed by smoothly connecting the two-dimensional coordinates of points on the pressure and suction surfaces. The two-dimensional coordinates of the pressure and suction surfaces are as follows:

[0038]

[0039] Each section of the main wing 31 curves forward along the trailing edge in the circumferential direction, with the following curve angles:

[0040]

[0041] It should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This way of describing the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
