[0013] Figure 1 This is a side view of a centrifugal fan.
[0014] Figure 2 This is a front view diagram of the inside of the volute.
[0015] The markings in the diagram are: 1. volute, 2. impeller, 3. air inlet, 4. volute tongue, 5. guide vane, 6. air outlet. Detailed Implementation
[0016] Referring to the attached diagram, the specific implementation method is as follows:
[0017] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a dual-outlet centrifugal fan includes a volute 1, an impeller 2, and an inlet 3. The impeller 2 is located inside the volute 1, and the inlet 3 is located on one side of the impeller 2 along its axial direction. The inlet 3 is inserted into the side wall of the volute 1, and the side wall of the volute 1 has two outlets 6. The plane containing the outlets 6 is parallel to the axis of the impeller 2. The side of the outlets 6 away from the impeller 2 has a distal sidewall perpendicular to the plane containing the outlets 6, and the distal sidewall smoothly transitions to the arc-shaped sidewall of the volute 1. The width of the volute 1 along the axial direction of the impeller 2 is defined as B, and the width along the axial direction of the outer edge of the impeller 2 is defined as B1, where B / B1 = 2.15~2.65.
[0018] like Figure 2 As shown, a volute tongue 4 is provided between the side of the air outlet 6 near the impeller 2 and the arc-shaped sidewall of the volute 1. The side of the volute tongue 4 connected to the air outlet 6 has a diffuser sidewall. The diffusion angle F between the diffuser sidewall and the far-end sidewall is 15~30°, which can increase the actual area of the volute outlet and reduce the volute outlet velocity, thereby improving the diffusion effect of the volute.
[0019] like Figure 2As shown, the minimum distance between the outer edge of the impeller 2 and the distal side wall is defined as A1, and the minimum distance between the outer edge of the impeller 2 and the volute tongue 4 is defined as A2, A2=(0.035~0.085)D, D is the diameter of the impeller 2, A1 / A2=4.5~8.5. By controlling the ratio of A1 / A2, not only the maximum opening degree of the air outlet is increased, but also the equivalent expansion area of the volute is ensured.
[0020] As shown in the figure, Figure 2 the plane parallel to the air outlet 6 and containing the axis of the impeller 2 is defined as the horizontal reference plane, the plane parallel to the distal side wall and containing the axis of the impeller 2 is defined as the vertical reference plane, and the plane containing both the center line of the volute tongue 4 and the axis of the impeller 2 is defined as the volute tongue reference plane. The angle E between the volute tongue reference plane and the vertical reference plane is 35~48°. Under this angle, the depth of the volute tongue is increased compared with the volute tongue of the existing fan. By aerodynamic optimization, the shallow volute tongue or flat volute tongue is changed to a deep volute tongue, which reduces the gap between the volute tongue and the impeller, is beneficial to reduce the exposure of the impeller, reduce the circulating flow of part of the gas in the volute, and improve the aerodynamic performance of the fan.
[0021] As shown in the figure, Figure 2 the inside of the volute 1 is also provided with a plurality of guide vanes 5, which are divided into two groups corresponding to the two air outlets 6 respectively. The plurality of guide vanes 5 in the same group are distributed between the volute tongue 4 and the distal side wall. The number of guide vanes 5 in the same group is 2~6, and the length of the plurality of guide vanes 5 in the same group decreases in the direction away from the distal side wall. The outlet end of the guide vane 5 extends to the plane where the air outlet 6 is located, the inlet end of the guide vane 5 is located inside the volute 1, and the guide vane 5 has an arc-shaped curved surface between the inlet end and the outlet end. The arc-shaped curved surface can guide the airflow to the air outlet.
[0022] As shown in the figure, Figure 2 the guide vane 5 closest to the distal side wall in the same group is defined as the first guide vane, and the guide vane adjacent to the first guide vane in the same group is defined as the second guide vane. The inlet angle β of the tangent line of the inlet end of the first guide vane intersecting with the horizontal reference plane is 40~60°, and the inlet angle α of the tangent line of the inlet end of the second guide vane intersecting with the horizontal reference plane is 50~70°. The minimum distance between the outlet end of the first guide vane and the distal side wall along the horizontal reference plane is defined as L1, and the minimum distance between the outlet end of the second guide vane and the distal side wall along the horizontal reference plane is defined as L2. The length of the air outlet 6 along the horizontal reference plane is defined as L, L1 / L=0.08~0.15, and L2 / L=0.3~0.6. By controlling the structural parameters of the above two guide vanes, the gas flow state at the air outlet position can be further effectively improved.
[0023] Based on the experience design, the three-dimensional model of the whole fan is established and CFD analysis is carried out. Through observing and analyzing the velocity vector and streamline of the airflow in the numerical simulation results and optimizing the aerodynamic model of the fan by genetic algorithm, the aerodynamic model with the optimal aerodynamic performance and the minimum flow loss is obtained, so that the static pressure of the fluid in the volute increases stably, the airflow flows uniformly, the flow state of the airflow is greatly improved, which helps to reduce the loss of useless work in the volute, and improves the aerodynamic parameters and overall efficiency of the fan.
