Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to centrifugal fans, specifically to a centrifugal fan volute structure. Background Technology
[0002] The volute is a crucial component of a centrifugal fan, with an air inlet and an air outlet formed on it. For example, Chinese patent CN202122075327.3 provides a fan volute including an air outlet and a rear side plate. A rear air inlet is formed in the rear side plate, and the rear air inlet is eccentrically positioned on the side furthest from the air outlet, forming a single-sided distribution. The rear side plate is closed on the side closest to the air outlet. This invention distributes the rear air inlet only on the side furthest from the air outlet, while omitting the closed rear air inlet on the side closest to the air outlet, creating an eccentric design for the rear air inlet distribution. This avoids fan pressure loss due to the air outlet and effectively increases fan pressure when using the same power fan motor. In existing volutes like the one described above, the air outlet is generally integrally formed with the volute, making it difficult to change the direction of the air outlet and adjust it according to specific application scenarios, which is detrimental to the installation and arrangement of the conveying air duct on the air outlet.
