Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fan technology, specifically a high-temperature fan with adjustable air intake. Background Technology
[0002] High-temperature fans are special types of fans designed for use in high-temperature environments, such as the boiler and drying industries. Their materials possess strong resistance to high temperatures and pressures, and they typically operate within a temperature range of 100~180℃. High-temperature fans mainly consist of an impeller, casing, air inlet, motor, connector, and cooling fan blades. The impeller is a multi-blade single-inlet centrifugal impeller made of high-quality galvanized steel or cold-rolled steel. The blades are designed based on aerodynamic principles, ensuring excellent airflow performance, high efficiency, and stable operation.
[0003] Inside the fan's outlet, a specially designed adjusting flap is used to precisely control the airflow by changing its opening degree. However, with prolonged operation, dust and other impurities inevitably accumulate on the adjusting flap. This accumulation not only affects the fan's performance but may also reduce its output efficiency. Regular cleaning of the adjusting flap is essential to maintain the fan's normal operating condition and extend its lifespan. However, since the adjusting flap is located inside the outlet, cleaning it requires disassembling the outlet ductwork, a relatively cumbersome process that causes inconvenience for users. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-temperature fan with adjustable air intake to solve the problem of inconvenient cleaning of the flap in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-temperature fan with adjustable air intake, comprising a fan base, a fan volute fixedly mounted on the fan base, an air outlet on the fan volute, a connecting flange on the air outlet, an adjustment mechanism inside the air outlet, the adjustment mechanism comprising a positioning seat fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the air outlet, a movable shaft rotatably mounted on the positioning seat, an adjustment flap fixedly mounted on the movable shaft, a worm gear fixedly mounted at one end of the movable shaft, a worm rotatably mounted below the worm gear, and a cleaning mechanism above the adjustment flap.
[0006] Preferably, a drive shaft is fixedly mounted on the worm gear, and a handwheel is fixedly mounted on one end of the drive shaft.
[0007] Preferably, the positioning seat has a movable hole, the movable shaft is rotatably mounted on the positioning seat through the movable hole, and the positioning seat is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the air outlet by bolts.
[0008] Preferably, the adjusting flap is rotatably mounted inside the air outlet via a movable shaft, the positioning seat has a rotating hole, the drive shaft is rotatably mounted inside the positioning seat via the rotating hole, and the worm is rotatably mounted below the worm wheel via the drive shaft, with the worm wheel and worm meshing together.
[0009] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes a drive motor fixedly installed on the outside of the air outlet and a reciprocating lead screw rotatably installed inside the air outlet. A lead screw slider is rotatably installed on the reciprocating lead screw, a drive frame is fixedly installed on the lead screw slider, a cleaning brush is fixedly installed on the drive frame, and a coupling is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor.
[0010] Preferably, a motor frame is provided on the outside of the air outlet, and the drive motor is fixedly installed on the outside of the air outlet through the motor frame.
[0011] Preferably, bearings are provided at both ends of the reciprocating lead screw, the reciprocating lead screw is rotatably installed in the air outlet through the bearings, one end of the reciprocating lead screw is fixedly installed to the output end of the drive motor through a coupling, the drive frame is movably installed in the air outlet through the lead screw slider, and the cleaning brush is movably installed above the adjusting flap through the drive frame.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. In this application, rotating the handwheel drives the drive shaft to rotate. The rotation of the drive shaft drives the worm gear to rotate, which in turn causes the worm wheel to rotate. The rotation of the worm wheel causes the movable shaft to rotate, which ultimately controls the rotation of the adjusting flap, thereby controlling the opening degree of the adjusting flap to regulate the air intake.
[0014] 2. In this application, after the adjustment flap is adjusted to a horizontal state, the drive motor can be started. After the motor starts, it will drive the reciprocating screw to rotate. Subsequently, the screw slider will move back and forth under the drive of the reciprocating screw. During this process, the drive frame will also move back and forth, thereby causing the end of the cleaning brush to reciprocate along the surface of the adjustment flap, so as to achieve effective cleaning of the adjustment flap.

[0021] 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.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for a high-temperature fan with adjustable air intake, including a fan base 1, a fan volute 2 fixedly installed on the fan base 1, an air outlet 3 on the fan volute 2, a connecting flange 4 on the air outlet 3, an adjustment mechanism 5 inside the air outlet 3, and a cleaning mechanism 6 above the adjustment flap 503. The adjustment mechanism 5 can adjust the air intake, and the adjustment mechanism 5 and the cleaning mechanism 6 work together to facilitate the user to clean the adjustment flap 503.
[0023] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 5 includes a positioning seat 501 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air outlet 3. A movable shaft 502 is rotatably installed on the positioning seat 501. An adjustment flap 503 is fixedly installed on the movable shaft 502. A worm gear 506 is fixedly installed at one end of the movable shaft 502. A worm 507 is rotatably installed below the worm gear 506. A drive shaft 505 is fixedly installed on the worm 507. A handwheel 504 is fixedly installed at one end of the drive shaft 505. A movable hole is provided on the positioning seat 501. The movable shaft 502 is rotatably installed on the positioning seat 501 through the movable hole. The positioning seat 501 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air outlet 3 by bolts.
[0024] Specifically, rotating the handwheel 504 directly drives the drive shaft 505 to rotate. The rotation of the drive shaft 505, in turn, causes the worm gear 507 to rotate. The rotation of the worm gear 507 is transmitted to the worm wheel 506, causing it to rotate as well. The rotation of the worm wheel 506 then drives the connected movable shaft 502 to rotate. The rotation of the movable shaft 502 ultimately causes the adjustment flap 503 to rotate. By adjusting the opening size of the flap 503, effective control of the air intake volume is achieved.
[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 6 includes a drive motor 606 fixedly installed on the outside of the air outlet 3 and a reciprocating lead screw 603 rotatably installed inside the air outlet 3. A lead screw slider 604 is rotatably installed on the reciprocating lead screw 603. A drive frame 601 is fixedly installed on the lead screw slider 604. A cleaning brush 602 is fixedly installed on the drive frame 601. A coupling 605 is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor 606. A motor frame is provided on the outside of the air outlet 3. The drive motor 606 is fixedly installed on the outside of the air outlet 3 through the motor frame.
[0026] Specifically, when performing equipment maintenance and cleaning, the first step is to ensure that the adjusting flap 503 is in a horizontal position. Once the adjusting flap 503 is adjusted to a balanced position, the next step is to start the drive motor 606. Once activated, the drive motor 606 will begin to rotate, thereby driving the connected reciprocating lead screw 603. As the reciprocating lead screw 603 rotates, it causes the lead screw slider 604 to move back and forth, and the drive frame 601 will move back and forth with the movement of the lead screw slider 604. During the back-and-forth movement of the drive frame 601, it pushes the end of the cleaning brush 602, causing it to adhere closely to the surface of the adjusting flap 503 and perform a back-and-forth cleaning motion. This removes dirt and impurities from one side of the adjusting flap 503. Once this side of the adjusting flap 503 is thoroughly cleaned, the operator can rotate the adjusting flap 503 180 degrees using the handwheel 504. This rotation operation allows the other side of the adjusting flap 503 to also be covered by the cleaning brush 602, thereby achieving the cleaning of the other side of the adjusting flap 503.
[0027] Working principle: During operation, the airflow generated by the fan is discharged through the air outlet 3. During discharge, the handwheel 504 can be rotated, which in turn drives the drive shaft 505. The drive shaft 505 then drives the worm gear 507, which in turn drives the worm wheel 506. The worm wheel 506 then drives the movable shaft 502, which in turn drives the adjusting flap 503. This controls the opening size of the adjusting flap 503, thus adjusting the airflow. Simultaneously, rotating the handwheel 504 can level the adjusting flap 503. After leveling the adjusting flap 503, the drive motor 606 can be started. After the machine 606 is activated, it will drive the reciprocating lead screw 603 to rotate. After the reciprocating lead screw 603 rotates, it will drive the lead screw slider 604 to move back and forth. When the lead screw slider 604 moves back and forth, it will drive the drive frame 601 to move back and forth. During the back and forth movement of the drive frame 601, it will drive the end of the cleaning brush 602 to move back and forth against the surface of the adjusting flap 503, thereby cleaning one side of the adjusting flap 503. After one side of the adjusting flap 503 is cleaned, the adjusting flap 503 can be rotated 180° by the handwheel 504 to facilitate cleaning the other side of the adjusting flap 503. During the cleaning process, the fan can be turned on, and the impurities generated during cleaning will be carried out by the airflow generated by the fan.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
