[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an engine fan blade assembly includes a drive shaft 1. A fan connecting ring 11 is slidably connected to the outer side of the middle of the drive shaft 1. A fan blade body 12 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fan connecting ring 11. A limiting pin 15 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the drive shaft 1 near the fan connecting ring 11. A limiting groove 16 is formed inside the fan connecting ring 11. The limiting pin 15 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 16. A threaded groove 14 is provided on the top of the outer side of the drive shaft 1. A threaded cylinder 13 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded groove 14. During operation, the fan blade body 12 is first installed on the outer side of the fan connecting ring 11, and then the fan connecting ring 11 is slidably installed on the outer side of the drive shaft 1. The limiting groove 16 inside the fan connecting ring 11 and the limiting groove 16 are slidably connected to the fan connecting ring 11. The fan connecting ring 11 is connected to the drive spindle 1 by matching the limiting pin 15 on the outside of the drive spindle 1. Then, the threaded cylinder 13 is installed on one end of the drive spindle 1 by rotation and is fixed to the fan connecting ring 11 by cooperating with the threaded groove 14. In this step, the engine fan blade needs to be disassembled for inspection and replacement due to the extremely harsh working environment. However, the disassembly steps are cumbersome and complicated, which will increase the disassembly time and time cost. Therefore, it is only necessary to fix the fan connecting ring 11 to the outside of the drive spindle 1 by the threaded cylinder 13, and then limit it by the limiting pin 15 and the limiting groove 16. This makes the fan connecting ring 11 more stable when it rotates with the drive spindle 1, which simplifies the disassembly steps, increases stability, and reduces time cost.

[0027] like Figures 1-2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6As shown, a connecting post 2 is fixedly connected to the end of the fan blade body 12 away from the fan connecting ring 11. A reinforcing ring 22 is provided on the outer side of the fan blade body 12. Multiple sets of sliding grooves 21 are opened inside the reinforcing ring 22. The connecting post 2 is installed inside the sliding groove 21. A Torx screw 23 is threaded inside the reinforcing ring 22. During operation, the connecting post 2 is first installed at one end of the fan blade body 12. Then, the sliding groove 21 inside the reinforcing ring 22 is matched with the connecting post 2. The Torx screw 23 is used to fix the connecting post 2 and the reinforcing ring 22. During the operation of the device, the fan blade body 12 needs to rotate at high speed. Because the outermost stroke is larger and the rotation speed is faster, it needs to withstand greater force and is prone to deformation and twisting. Therefore, the reinforcing ring 22 is used to connect multiple sets of fan blade bodies 12 to reduce the possibility of deformation and twisting of the fan blade body 12 under high-speed rotation.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, a spring column 3 is fixedly connected inside the threaded cylinder 13, and a pressure plate 31 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the spring column 3. The pressure plate 31 slides inside the spring column 3. A circular groove 32 is opened on the top of the fan connecting ring 11. The circular groove 32 is slidably connected to the pressure plate 31. During operation, when the threaded cylinder 13 is raised and rotated to be installed outside the drive spindle 1, as the bottom of the threaded cylinder 13 gradually approaches the fan connecting ring 11, the pressure plate 31 first contacts the circular groove 32. Then, the pressure plate 31 squeezes and contracts the spring column 3. During the operation of the device, the engine drive device may generate vibration, which may cause the threaded cylinder 13 to loosen. Therefore, through the compression of the spring column 3, after installation, an outward force is applied to the threaded cylinder 13, making the thread inside the threaded cylinder 13 more tightly connected to the thread groove 14, reducing the possibility of the threaded cylinder 13 loosening due to engine vibration.

[0029] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a fixing ring 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded cylinder 13. During operation, when the threaded cylinder 13 is installed on the outside of the fan connecting ring 11, the assist device is connected to the fixing ring 4. Then, by rotating the fixing ring 4, the threaded cylinder 13 can be disassembled. This step often requires a large force to assist in the installation during mechanical assembly in order to increase the stability of the connection. Therefore, the use of the fixing ring 4 makes the disassembly of the threaded cylinder 13 more efficient.

[0030] like Figures 1-2 , Figure 5 As shown, a keyway 5 is provided in the middle of the drive spindle 1. The keyway 5 is far away from the threaded groove 14. When installing the drive spindle 1 during operation, the keyway 5 can be installed conveniently, and other structures can be firmly fixed to the outside of the drive spindle 1.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, a shim 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer side of the drive spindle 1. The shim 6 is close to the limiting pin 15. During operation, when the fan connecting ring 11 is installed on the outer side of the drive spindle 1, the shim 6 is located between the fan connecting ring 11 and the drive spindle 1. In this step, when the fan connecting ring 11 is fixed on the outer side of the drive spindle 1, the shim 6 increases the contact surface and protects the fan connecting ring 11.

[0032] like Figures 1-2 , Figure 5 As shown, the drive spindle 1 has a chamfer 7 at the end away from the threaded groove 14. The use of chamfer 7 can reduce installation damage and also enhance the compressive strength of the drive spindle 1.

[0033] The working principle is as follows: First, the fan blade body 12 is installed on the outside of the fan connecting ring 11. Then, the fan connecting ring 11 is slidably installed on the outside of the drive main shaft 1. The limiting groove 16 inside the fan connecting ring 11 matches the limiting pin 15 on the outside of the drive main shaft 1, realizing the connection between the fan connecting ring 11 and the drive main shaft 1. At this time, the threaded cylinder 13 is installed on one end of the drive main shaft 1 by rotation, and it cooperates with the threaded groove 14 to fix the fan connecting ring 11. Due to the extremely harsh working environment, the engine fan blade needs to be disassembled for inspection and replacement. However, the disassembly process is cumbersome and complicated, which will increase the disassembly time and time cost. Therefore, it is only necessary to fix the fan connecting ring 11 on the outside of the drive main shaft 1 by the threaded cylinder 13, and then fix it by the limiting pin. 15. The limiting groove 16 provides a limiting position, making the fan connecting ring 11 more stable when rotating with the drive spindle 1. This simplifies the disassembly process, increases stability, and reduces time costs. First, the connecting post 2 is installed at one end of the fan blade body 12. Then, the sliding groove 21 inside the reinforcing ring 22 mates with the connecting post 2, and the connecting post 2 and the reinforcing ring 22 are fixed together by the Torx screw 23. During the operation of the device, the fan blade body 12 needs to rotate at high speed. Because the outermost stroke is larger and the rotation speed is faster, it needs to withstand greater forces, making it prone to deformation and twisting. Therefore, the reinforcing ring 22 connects multiple sets of fan blade bodies 12, reducing the possibility of deformation and twisting of the fan blade body 12 under high-speed rotation. When the threaded cylinder 13 is lifted and rotated to be installed outside the drive spindle 1, as the bottom of the threaded cylinder 13 gradually approaches the fan connecting ring 11, the pressure plate 31 first contacts the circular groove 32, and then the pressure plate 31 compresses and contracts the spring column 3. During the operation of the device, vibration may occur due to the operation of the engine drive device, causing the threaded cylinder 13 to loosen. Therefore, through the compression of the spring column 3, an outward force is applied to the threaded cylinder 13 after installation, making the internal threads of the threaded cylinder 13 more tightly connected to the threaded groove 14, reducing the possibility of the threaded cylinder 13 loosening due to engine vibration. When installing the threaded cylinder 13 outside the fan connecting ring 11, the assist device is connected to the fixing ring 4, and then rotated... By rotating the retaining ring 4, the threaded cylinder 13 can be disassembled. This step often requires considerable force during mechanical assembly to increase the stability of the connection. Therefore, the use of the retaining ring 4 makes the disassembly of the threaded cylinder 13 more efficient. When installing the drive spindle 1, the keyway 5 facilitates installation and firmly fixes other structures to the outside of the drive spindle 1. When installing the fan connecting ring 11 on the outside of the drive spindle 1, the washer 6 is located between the fan connecting ring 11 and the drive spindle 1. In this step, when fixing the fan connecting ring 11 to the outside of the drive spindle 1, the washer 6 increases the contact surface and protects the fan connecting ring 11. The use of the chamfer 7 can reduce installation damage and also enhance the compressive strength of the drive spindle 1.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
