[0001] This application relates to the field of fan blades, and more particularly to a fan blade structure for an axial flow fan used in a cooling tower. Background Technology
[0002] Axial flow fans are a common type of industrial equipment used in industrial production and have broad application prospects. However, the blades of commonly used axial flow fans can deform over time, affecting the fan's efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0007] The blades, at least two, are evenly distributed along the circumference of the hub;
[0008] The petiole is attached to the hub at one end and to the blade at the other end;
[0009] One end of the blade has a first connecting piece, which is integrally welded to the blade and has an included angle with the blade. One end of the first connecting piece has a notch, and the end wall of the notch is inclined.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the blades are made of aluminum alloy and are low-speed airfoil hollow blades, which have a high lift coefficient, a high lift-to-drag ratio, and wide blades driven at low speeds. High-efficiency operation is achieved by setting an inclined first connecting piece on the blade and an inclined notch on the first connecting piece, ensuring low-speed blade drive.

[0013] In one possible implementation, reinforcing ribs are also provided inside the cavity.
[0014] In one possible implementation, the blade has a second connecting piece at the end away from the petiole, and the second connecting piece is arranged perpendicular to the blade.
[0015] In one possible implementation, the hub is provided with several grooves for connecting with the blade stalk, and the blade stalk is installed in the groove by bolts and nuts.
[0016] In one possible implementation, an annular groove is provided on the leaf stalk, and the bolt has a "U" shaped structure, with the "U" shaped bolt embedded in the annular groove.
[0017] In one possible implementation, the groove of the hub is provided with a raised ring portion, which is engaged with the "U"-shaped bolt and embedded in the annular groove.
[0018] In one possible implementation, there are one or two annular grooves.
[0019] In one possible implementation, a bushing is mounted on the hub to facilitate connection with an axial flow fan.
[0020] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects: the blades are made of aluminum alloy, are low-speed airfoil-shaped hollow blades, and have a high lift coefficient, a high lift-to-drag ratio, and wide blades for low-speed drive. By providing an inclined first connecting piece on the blade and an inclined notch on the first connecting piece, high-efficiency operation is achieved, ensuring low-speed drive of the blades.

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0026] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely used to explain the technical principles of the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the embodiments of this application. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.
[0027] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0028] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0029] Reference Figure 1-3 The axial flow fan blade structure for cooling towers includes a hub 1, a blade holder 2, blades 3, and a bushing 4. The blade holder 2 is mounted on the hub 1, and the blades 3 are mounted on the blade holder 2. There are at least two blades 3, evenly distributed along the circumference of the hub 1. The bushing 4 is mounted on the hub 1 and facilitates the mounting of the hub 1 onto the axial flow fan. Specifically, one end of the blade 3 has a first connecting piece 5, which is integrally welded to the blade 3, and there is an angle between the first connecting piece 5 and the blade 3. One end of the first connecting piece 5 has a notch 6, which is cut off from the first connecting piece 5 on the blade 3 according to precise aerodynamic calculations. The end wall of the notch 6 is inclined, and the connection between the blade 3 and the first connecting piece 5 is modified into an arc-shaped part 7. The blades 3 are made of aluminum alloy, are low-speed airfoil hollow blades, and have a high lift coefficient and a high lift-to-drag ratio, with wide blades driven at low speeds. By providing an inclined first connecting piece 5 on the blade 3 and an inclined notch 6 on the first connecting piece 5, high-efficiency operation is achieved, ensuring that the blade 3 is driven at low speed.
[0030] The wheel hub 1 is made of low-pressure die casting. The wheel hub 1 adopts a one-mold-two-use design, which can install 6-blade 3 or 4-blade 3, which has strong versatility, reduces production costs, and is more suitable for mass production.
[0031] The blade 3 has a cavity 8 inside for inserting the blade stalk 2. A limiting part 9 is installed inside the cavity 8. The limiting part 9 is arc-shaped and is interference-fitted with the blade stalk 2. A reinforcing rib 10 is also provided inside the cavity 8 to enhance the strength of the blade 3.
[0032] The blade 3 has a second connecting piece 11 at the end away from the petiole 2, and the second connecting piece 11 is set perpendicular to the blade 3.
[0033] The stalk 2 is made of grooved steel pipe, which is made of carbon steel or stainless steel.
[0034] The hub 1 has several grooves 12 for connecting with the blade shank 2. The blade shank 2 is installed in the grooves 12 by bolts 13 and nuts. The blade shank 2 has annular grooves 14, with at least one or two grooves. The number of bolts 13 matches the number of annular grooves 14. The bolts 13 have a U-shaped structure, and are embedded in the annular grooves 14. The grooves 12 of the hub 1 have protruding rings 15, which mate with the U-shaped bolts 13 and are embedded in the annular grooves 14. Through the annular grooves 14, the U-shaped bolts 13, and the protruding rings 15, the connection strength between the blade shank 2 and the hub 1 is enhanced. This also makes the blade shank 2 highly efficient, versatile, and reduces production costs. Compared with the old-style blade shank 2, the blade shank 2 of this application is lightweight, high-strength, highly efficient, and aesthetically pleasing.
