Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, especially to a fan static vane diffuser structure and a fan and household appliance equipment comprising the same. BACKGROUND

[0002] The fan used by the range hood is generally a multi-wing centrifugal fan, but its efficiency is low. With the development of technology, the axial flow or multi-stage axial flow fan is gradually applied to the range hood fan, and its efficiency is much higher than that of the multi-wing centrifugal fan. For example, the patents with the patent application numbers CN202310968785.0 and CN202410061836.6 all use this type of fan as the main fan. The motor of these fans drives the rotating impeller, the airflow is sucked into the fan inlet, obtains a large kinetic energy after passing through the high-speed rotating impeller, and then flows into the axial diffuser from the outlet of the impeller along the radial direction of the impeller. To ensure the diffuser effect, the diffuser is generally composed of two stages of static vanes, and then the airflow flows out of the casing and is discharged to the public flue with oil fumes.

[0003] The structure of the diffuser generally includes a static vane casing and two-stage static vane assemblies arranged in the static vane casing. Each static vane assembly includes a static vane hub at the center and a plurality of static vanes arranged at intervals on the circumferential surface of the static vane hub. Each static vane is arranged obliquely on the circumferential surface of the static vane hub. The airflow flowing into the diffuser from the axial direction is guided to flow through the gaps between the static vanes to form an axial flow. To ensure the diffuser effect, the first-stage static vanes and the adjacent static vanes generally have some overlap from the axial direction. Therefore, the first-stage static vanes cannot be extracted from the mold along the axial direction (i.e., cannot be extracted from the mold along the axial direction). Therefore, to ensure the manufacturing process, the first-stage static vanes generally do not have a static vane casing, and the first-stage static vanes are assembled to the second-stage static vanes along the axial direction. If the outer diameter of the first-stage static vanes is D1 and the inner diameter of the static vane casing is D2, to ensure that the first-stage static vanes can be assembled into the casing, the condition D1 < D2 generally needs to be met.

[0004] However, the function of the static vane diffuser is to convert the airflow with tangential rotational flow from the outlet of the impeller to axial airflow. The tangential airflow will cause energy loss and generate aerodynamic noise. Because there is a gap between the static vanes and the static vane casing, the airflow with tangential velocity in the gap between the static vanes cannot be converted to axial airflow, resulting in a lot of energy loss, reduced fan efficiency, and increased noise. In addition, because the airflow in the gap between the static vanes is high-speed airflow, the high-speed airflow will generate a lot of noise in the gap, resulting in a large fan noise and poor sound quality. SUMMARY

The motor 4 drives the moving impeller 2 to rotate at high speed, the airflow is sucked from the fan inlet 10, obtains a large kinetic energy after passing through the high-speed rotating moving impeller 2, flows along the radial direction of the moving impeller 2 (the radial direction of the moving impeller 2 is the same as the radial direction B of the primary stationary blade hub 321), then flows out from the moving impeller 2 outlet, and then flows into the stationary blade diffuser structure 3 in the axial direction C for diffusing, and finally the airflow flows out through the motor housing.

[0054] As shown in Figures 3-4 The stationary blade diffuser structure 3 comprises a stationary blade casing 31 and a primary stationary blade assembly 32 and at least one secondary stationary blade assembly 33 arranged in sequence along the flow direction A of the airflow in the stationary blade casing 31, the primary stationary blade assembly 32 comprises a primary stationary blade hub 321 and a plurality of primary stationary vanes 322 arranged on the circumferential surface of the primary stationary blade hub 321.

[0055] The primary stationary vanes 322 and the primary stationary blade hub 321 are formed separately, the primary stationary vanes 322 have a cross section perpendicular to the radial direction of the primary stationary blade hub 321 (not shown in the figure), the circumferential wall of the stationary blade casing 31 is provided with a plurality of casing holes 311 matching the profile of the cross section, and the primary stationary vanes 322 are arranged to be inserted from the casing holes 311 and to abut against the outer surface of the primary stationary blade hub 321 or extend into the circumferential wall of the primary stationary blade hub 321 by one end of the primary stationary vanes 322, when the one end of the primary stationary vanes 322 abuts against the outer surface of the primary stationary blade hub 321, the abutting end surface of the primary stationary vanes 322 matches the outer surface of the primary stationary blade hub 321, and the length of the primary stationary vanes 322 along the radial direction B is not less than the distance between the stationary blade casing 31 and the primary stationary blade hub 321.

[0056] Specifically, in the embodiment, after the primary stationary vanes 322 are inserted into the casing holes 311, a plurality of primary stationary vanes 322 are arranged on the circumferential surface of the primary stationary blade hub 321 at the same inclination angle, the airflow is guided by the primary stationary vanes 322 to form a diagonal flow. The stationary blade diffuser structure 3 has only one secondary stationary blade assembly 33, forming a two-stage stationary blade structure, but in other embodiments, according to the needs of the effect, there can be multiple secondary stationary blade assemblies 33 or three-stage, four-stage stationary blade assemblies. In the embodiment, the connection between the primary stationary vanes 322 and the primary stationary blade hub 321 adopts the abutting mode, that is, after the primary stationary vanes 322 are inserted into the casing holes 311, the end surface thereof gradually approaches the primary stationary blade hub 321 until abutting against the outer surface of the primary stationary blade hub 321.

[0057] The vane diffuser structure 3 of the fan 1 is designed in the first-stage vane 322. A casing hole 311 matching the cross section of the first-stage vane 322 is formed on the vane casing 31. The first-stage vane 322 is inserted into the vane casing 31 and the first-stage vane hub 321. When the first-stage vane 322 is inserted into the vane casing 31 and the other end thereof abuts or extends into the circumferential wall of the first-stage vane hub 321, the gap is eliminated, the flow energy loss of the airflow is reduced, the working efficiency of the fan 1 is improved, and the noise is reduced.

[0058] In order to better achieve the gap-free state, a sealing material can be filled in the gap between the vane casing 31 and the first-stage vane 322 located in the casing hole 311, further improving the air tightness between the vane casing 31 and the first-stage vane 322, and ensuring the gap-free state.

[0059] In this embodiment, the length of the first-stage vane 322 in the radial direction B is equal to the sum of the distance between the vane casing 31 and the first-stage vane hub 321 and the wall thickness of the vane casing 31, so that the length of the first-stage vane 322 is not too long, and the outer surface of the vane casing 31 remains flat after the first-stage vane 322 is inserted into the vane casing 31, which is more beautiful.

[0060] In other embodiments, the connection between the first-stage vane 322 and the first-stage vane hub 321 can also be achieved by extending the first-stage vane 322 into the circumferential wall of the first-stage vane hub 321. For example, the circumferential wall of the first-stage vane hub 321 is provided with a plurality of hub grooves (not shown in the figure) matching the cross-sectional profile, and the first-stage vane 322 is inserted into part or all of the hub grooves. Through the hub grooves, the first-stage vane 322 and the first-stage vane hub 321 are connected without gaps, and the first-stage vane 322 is accommodated in the hub grooves, improving the reliability of the connection between the two and the reliability of the gap-free state. The hub grooves match the cross-sectional profile of the first-stage vane 322, which is conducive to the cooperation of the first-stage vane 322 and the first-stage vane hub 321 on the circumferential surface.

[0061] At this time (i.e. the primary vanes 322 are inserted into the casing hole 311 and the hub groove in turn), the radial length of the primary vanes 322 is equal to the sum of the distance between the vane casing 31 and the primary vane hub 321, the wall thickness of the vane casing 31 and the depth of the hub groove, so that the length of the primary vanes 322 is not too long, and the outer surface of the vane casing 31 remains flat after the primary vanes 322 are inserted into the vane casing 31, which is more beautiful.

[0062] When the primary vanes 322 are inserted into the hub groove, the gap between the primary vane hub 321 and the primary vanes 322 located in the hub groove is filled with sealing material, further improving the air tightness between the primary vane hub 321 and the primary vanes 322, and ensuring no gap.

[0063] In this embodiment, the vane casing 31 is also provided with a chamfer (not shown in the figure) at the profile edge of the casing hole 311, which facilitates the positioning and smooth insertion of the primary vanes 322.
