Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of axial flow fans, and in particular to axial flow fans with self-cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] Axial flow fans, also known as local ventilation fans, are a type of fan commonly used in industrial and mining enterprises. However, unlike ordinary fans, their motor and blades are all inside a cylinder, giving them a cylindrical shape. They are used for local ventilation, are easy to install, provide significant ventilation and air exchange effects, are safe, and can be connected to ductwork to deliver air to designated areas.

[0003] However, existing axial flow fans typically have a filter screen installed at one end of the air inlet to filter dust from the air and prevent it from accumulating inside the axial flow fan. However, after a period of use, manual cleaning is required. When the centrifugal fan is installed in a poor environment, it needs to be cleaned again not long after the first cleaning, which is extremely inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0037] Example 1

[0038] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 The self-cleaning axial flow fan shown includes a body 1, a drive mechanism 3, a filter screen 4, and a cleaning mechanism 5. An impeller 2 is installed inside the body 1, and a mounting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the body 1. The drive mechanism 3 is located inside the body 1 and drives the impeller 2 to rotate. The filter screen 4 is fixedly installed at the air inlet of the body 1. The cleaning mechanism 5 is located on the filter screen 4. The cleaning mechanism 5 cleans the filter screen 4 by rotating on it via the drive mechanism 3. The drive mechanism 3 drives the impeller 2 to rotate, performing normal operation of the axial flow fan. When cleaning is required, the drive mechanism 3 drives the cleaning mechanism 5 to rotate on the filter screen 4, thus cleaning both sides of the filter screen 4 during rotation. This prevents dust from clogging the filter screen 4, facilitates air intake, and eliminates the need to disassemble the filter screen 4, greatly reducing the labor intensity of workers and making it easy to use.

[0039] Specifically, the drive mechanism 3 includes a motor 31, a transmission rod 32, a rotating rod 33, a first gear 34, and an extrusion block 35. The motor 31 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the machine body 1. The motor 31 is electrically connected to an external power supply through an external switch. The output end of the motor 31 is connected to the transmission rod 32. The rotating rod 33 is fixedly inserted and connected to the impeller 2. The first gear 34 is fixedly inserted and connected to both the transmission rod 32 and the rotating rod 33. The first gear 34 is meshed with the transmission rod 32. One end of the rotating rod 33 is fixedly connected to the extrusion block 35. The motor 31 can drive the transmission rod 32 to rotate, thereby enabling the transmission rod 32 to drive the rotating rod 33 to rotate through the first gear 34, thus performing the normal operation of the axial flow fan.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 5 includes a rotating frame 51, a rotating frame 52, a cleaning cylinder 53, a second gear 54, a gear ring 55, an electric telescopic rod 56, a support frame 57, a sleeve 58, and a limiting rod 59. The rotating frame 51 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the filter screen 4 via bearings. The rotating frame 52 is symmetrically mounted at the bottom of the rotating frame 51 with the filter screen 4 as the center. The cleaning cylinder 53 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating frame 52. The second gear 54 is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 52. Annular grooves are provided on both sides of the filter screen 4. The gear ring 55 is fixedly connected inside the annular grooves. The second gear 54 meshes with the gear ring 55. The electric telescopic rod 56 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting plate 6. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 56 is connected to the support frame 57 via a transmission. The sleeve 58 is rotatably mounted inside the support frame 57 via bearings. The sleeve 58 is slidably mounted inside the rotating frame 51. One end of the sleeve 58 has an extrusion groove that cooperates with the extrusion block 35. The cross-section of the extrusion groove is... The sleeve 58 is polygonal, and a limiting groove is provided at the other end. A limiting rod 59 is slidably inserted into the limiting groove. One end of the limiting rod 59 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating frame 51. The cross-section of the limiting rod 59 is T-shaped. When it is necessary to clean the filter screen 4, the sleeve 58 on the rotating frame 51 can be pre-aligned with the internal squeezing block 35 with manual assistance. Then, the electric telescopic rod 56 can be activated, so that the support frame 57 drives the sleeve 58 to insert with the squeezing block 35. At this time, the squeezing block 35 driven by the motor 31 can drive the sleeve 58 to rotate, so that the rotating frame 51 can be rotated through the limiting rod 59. At the same time, the rotating frame 51 drives the rotating frame 52 to rotate, so that when the rotating frame 52 rotates, the second gear 54 on the rotating frame 52 can roll on the gear ring 55, so that the cleaning cylinder 53 can rotate on its own while rotating through the rotating frame 51, thereby cleaning the outer wall of the filter screen 4, which is convenient for use.
