Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric heating products, and particularly relates to a fan for electric heating products. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the design of electric heating products, fans play a crucial role. They are either used to blow hot air to meet specific heating or drying needs, or used to effectively dissipate the heat accumulated inside to ensure the safe and stable operation of the product. Currently, the main types of fans used in electric heating products are axial fans and centrifugal fans. However, both types of fans have some obvious shortcomings in practical application.

[0003] Axial fans, with their compact structure, easy installation, and ability to produce large air volume, have been widely used in electric heating products. They effectively bring internal heat to the outside environment by pushing air to flow in a direction parallel to the rotating shaft. However, while providing large air volume, axial fans often have low static pressure capacity, which means their performance will significantly decrease when facing greater resistance or needing to transport hot air over long distances. In addition, axial fans can generate significant noise when running at high speed, which not only affects user comfort but also may mask the working sound of the electric heating product itself, making fault diagnosis difficult.

[0004] Centrifugal fans, on the other hand, excel in electric heating products that require pressurized delivery of hot air or heating against greater resistance, due to their ability to produce higher static pressure. They achieve long-distance delivery and precise control of hot air by pushing air to flow in a direction perpendicular to the rotating shaft (i.e., radially). However, the flow rate of centrifugal fans is relatively small, which means they may not meet the high-efficiency heating needs in situations requiring rapid heating or large heating areas. At the same time, the structure of centrifugal fans is relatively complex, increasing manufacturing costs and potentially generating additional noise due to friction and vibration between components. In addition, the larger size of centrifugal fans can be a disadvantage in electric heating products with limited space. SUMMARY

For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0045] The utility model is described below in combination with the drawings for the fan on the electric heating product.

[0046] As Figure 1 And Figure 6 The utility model relates to a fan for electric heating product, including motor 2 and fan blade 1, the rotating shaft 21 of motor 2 is connected with fan blade 1, to drive fan blade 1 rotation, its characteristics are still including fan casing 3, motor 2 is connected at the center position of fan casing 3 and forms the air duct between motor 2 and fan casing 3 inner wall, fan blade 1 is located at the air inlet 30 of fan casing 3, the blade 11 of fan blade 1 is inclined to set along the axis direction of fan blade 1 away from air inlet 30 and the radial direction away from the axis, as Figure 3As shown in the direction of view, the blade 11 of the fan blade 1 is arranged obliquely from the position of the upper end air inlet 30 to the periphery, the blade 11 comprises a proximal end surface 111 close to the axis, a distal end surface 112 away from the axis, a top end surface 113 towards the end direction of the air inlet 30, and two air guide surfaces 114 for guiding air, the two air guide surfaces 114 are curved arc surfaces along the length direction, that is, the blade 11 of the fan blade 1 is in an arc shape. The working principle of the fan is as follows: when the motor 2 drives the fan blade 1 to rotate, the fan blade 1 generates a negative pressure area in the rotating process, thereby forming a low pressure area in the central area of the air inlet 30, under the action of the low pressure area, the air outside the air inlet 30 is quickly sucked into the arc structure area formed by the adjacent two blades 11, and the high-speed rotation of the blade 11 generates a centrifugal force, and the blade 11 is obliquely designed, so that the sucked air is obliquely discharged to the periphery and downward, as shown in the figure Figure 3 In this process, the air moves along the curved path of the blade 11 to accelerate and increase its kinetic energy. Since there is a gap between the distal end surface 112 and the inner side wall 312 of the fan housing 3, the finally discharged air continues to flow downward under the blockage of the inner side wall 312 of the fan housing 3, thereby realizing that the air flowing downward from the air inlet 30 continues to flow downward after diffusing to the periphery, achieving the purpose of pushing the air to flow in the direction parallel to the rotating shaft 21, ensuring that a relatively large air flow can be provided, and the pressure of the air is improved in the process of centrifugal motion, forming a strong air flow, that is, having a high static pressure capacity. Thus, the shortcomings of the axial flow fan in performance decline when facing large resistance are effectively overcome, and the deficiency of the centrifugal fan in small flow is also compensated, that is, the fan can more quickly and uniformly blow out hot air or assist in dissipating heat for the electric heating product, improving the heating or heat dissipation efficiency of the electric heating product.

[0047] As shown in the figure Figure 5 The fan blade 1 of the utility model further comprises a body 12, the part close to the end of the air inlet 30 of the body 12 is provided with a circular arc inclined surface 121 in the shape of an umbrella surface, and the blades 11 are arranged on the circular arc inclined surface 121 in a uniform interval; the part away from the end of the air inlet 30 of the body 12 is provided with a connecting rod 122, and the connecting rod 122 is provided with a shaft hole 123 connected with the rotating shaft 21 of the motor 2 in the middle. The body 12 designed in this way can improve the rotating performance of the fan blade 1 and improve the stability of rotation.

[0048] The number of the blades 11 of the utility model can be three or more than three, which are arranged on the circular arc inclined surface 121 in a uniform interval. Since the blades 11 are curved, all the blades 11 arranged on the circular arc inclined surface 121 present a rotating radial shape. The blades 11 as air guides are of the same size and style, which can make the fan blade 1 rotate more stably and generate uniform centrifugal force.

[0049] In order to optimize the flow splitting effect of the fan and improve the air outlet performance, considering the complex air flow in the arc structure region formed by the adjacent two blades 11, especially near the suction side of the tail of the blade 11, there is a serious air flow separation phenomenon, which will lead to the formation of a wake region where low-energy flow accumulates, thereby affecting the air outlet performance of the fan. Therefore, in order to achieve better flow splitting effect, as shown in the utility model, the blade 11 can be designed to include long blades 1101 and short blades 1102, the long blades 1101 and the short blades 1102 are arranged alternately on the circular arc inclined surface 121, wherein the long blades 1101 are the wind guide blades 11, that is, responsible for forming a low pressure area and discharging the air sucked in to the surrounding, and the short blades 1102 are arranged at the arc structure region between the adjacent two blades 11 and close to the tail of the long blades 1101. Through the short blades 1102, the wake region of the tail of the long blades 1101 can be broken and reduced, the short blades 1102 play a role of adding power to the air near the outlet of the suction surface, thereby effectively preventing the occurrence of flow separation and improving the stability of the flow field. Moreover, the addition of the short blades 1102 can change the flow path of the air, making it flow more smoothly through the arc structure region, reducing the energy loss caused by air flow separation, thereby significantly improving the fan total pressure. Figure 5

[0050] Further in order to more effectively share the load and avoid excessive fluid blockage and energy loss, as shown in the utility model, the height of the short blades 1102 of this embodiment is lower than the height of the long blades 1101, which can improve the fluid dynamics characteristics and reduce the diffusion effect. The short blades 1102 are shorter than the long blades 1101, so they are closer to the circular arc inclined surface 121, thereby more effectively flushing the wake of these critical areas; and the shorter short blades 1102 can more easily mix with the main flow fluid, reducing the formation of separation zones. Figure 5

[0051] In order to make the air outlet effect better at the gap between the distal end surface 112 and the inner side wall 312 of the fan housing 3, as shown in the utility model, the distal end surface 112 of the blade 11 is designed as an inclined surface, wherein the diameter of the arc line where the distal end surface 112 intersects with the top end surface 113 is greater than the diameter of the arc line where the distal end surface 112 intersects with the circular arc inclined surface 121, that is, according to Figure 6 Figure 6 ​​​In terms of direction, the distal end face 112 is inclined downwards towards the central axis. This ensures that the upper flow rate of the air discharged from the tail of the blade 11 that impacts the inner wall 312 of the fan casing 3 is less than the lower flow rate, thereby reducing flow turbulence at this gap and making the air turn more smoothly, ensuring that energy is not significantly lost. Furthermore, the height of the blade 11 gradually decreases smoothly radially outwards along the axis of the arc-shaped inclined surface 121, that is, the closer to the tail of the blade 11, the lower its height. This design allows the air to be better concentrated at the tail of the blade 11, reducing energy loss caused by airflow separation, and also improving the static pressure capacity at the outlet of the blade 11.

[0052] like Figure 6 As shown, the tip surface 113 of the blade 11 in this embodiment is an inclined surface that curves from the inward-curved air guide surface 114 to the outward-curved air guide surface 114. Therefore, it can better guide the air at the tip of the blade 11 to the arc-shaped structural area formed by the two adjacent blades 11. Furthermore, the higher edge of the tip surface 113 is closely fitted with the inner wall surface 311 around the air inlet 30 of the fan housing 3. Here, "closely fitted" means that the tip surface 113 is infinitely close to the inner wall surface 311 but does not contact it. In this way, the two will not come into contact and generate friction, and the gap between them is very small so that there is no air leakage. Therefore, it can avoid the loss and confusion of airflow, and the noise level generated by the fan blade 1 during operation is significantly lower than that of a traditional fan, so that the electric heating product can operate relatively quietly and reduce noise interference.

[0053] The arc-shaped inclined surface 121 of this invention can be an inclined surface with its cross-sectional edge being an inclined straight line. However, in order to make the air flow more smoothly through the arc-shaped structural area formed by the two adjacent blades 11, a preferred solution is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the arc-shaped inclined surface 121 of the body 12 in this embodiment is an arc-shaped curved surface with a centrally sunken cross-section edge that is an arc-shaped line; correspondingly, the inner wall surface 311 around the air inlet 30 is an arc-shaped curved surface parallel to the arc-shaped inclined surface 121.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, the fan housing 3 in this embodiment includes a fan blade sleeve 31 and a motor base 32. The fan blade sleeve 31 is fitted over the outside of the fan blade 1. A gap is left between the inner sidewall 312 of the fan blade sleeve 31 and the outer contour of the fan blade 1. An air inlet 30 is formed on the fan blade sleeve 31. When viewed in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the fan blade sleeve 31, the edge of the air inlet 30 substantially coincides with the edge of the near end face 111 of the blade 11 of the fan blade 1. Figure 1As shown, the design can achieve better air suction effect. The motor base 32 is fixedly connected with the fan blade sleeve 31 at the opposite end away from the air inlet 30, and the connection mode can be plug-in, threaded rotation, rotary clamping, etc. In this embodiment, the plug-in mode is used for connection, and the buckle 4 is additionally buckled during plug-in, thereby enhancing the connection firmness and effectively avoiding disconnection due to vibration caused by fan operation. The motor base 32 of this embodiment is in the form of a cylinder with both ends open, and the installation plate 321 is arranged at the middle position of the open end of the motor base 32 connected with the fan blade sleeve 31. The outer contour of the installation plate 321 forms a gap with the inner wall of the motor base 32, and the outer contour of the installation plate 321 extends four narrow-width rib bars 322 to be fixedly connected with the inner wall of the motor base 32. The narrow-width rib bars 322 can effectively reduce the air resistance in the air duct. Specifically, a through hole 323 is formed in the center of the installation plate 321, four screw holes 324 are formed in the plate surface of the installation plate 321, the motor 2 is arranged in the motor base 32 from the open end away from the fan blade sleeve 31, and the motor 2 is locked with the motor base 32 by the screw 5 passing through the screw holes 324. The through hole 323 in the installation plate 321 can be passed through by the connecting rod 122 of the fan blade 1.

[0055] The fan has simple structure, the fan blade 1 is designed ingeniously, and the overall volume is small, so the fan can be applied to various electric heating products, such as hot air pens and electric irons used in the electronic industry field, and hot air fans and heat dissipation fans used in the household electrical appliance field. The use of the fan can effectively improve the heating or heat dissipation performance of the electric heating product, and also improves the user experience, so that the electric heating product can maintain high performance while still maintaining the characteristics of compactness and lightness, and can meet more diversified user needs.
