Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fan technology, and in particular to a permanent magnet DC brushed fan with a nut-type structure. Background Technology

[0002] A brushed DC fan is a power unit that combines a brushed DC motor with a fan impeller. The brushed DC motor is based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, using a commutator and brushes to switch the direction of current, driving the rotor to rotate continuously. With improvements in permanent magnet materials (such as neodymium iron boron) and brush materials, brushed DC motors have achieved breakthroughs in efficiency and miniaturization, and are gradually being applied in the fan industry.

[0003] The structure of existing conventional DC brushed fans is as follows: Figure 1 As shown. The DC brushed fan includes a motor 100, a fixed impeller 30, and a moving impeller 20. The motor 100 includes a rotor assembly 50, a stator assembly 40, a brush holder assembly 60, and an end cover 70. Ball bearings 83 are provided at both ends of the rotor assembly 50, and one end of the ball bearing 83 is installed inside the end cover 70. The brush holder assembly 60 is fixed to the end cover 70 and connected to the rotor assembly 50. A certain air gap is maintained between the stator assembly 40 and the rotor assembly 50, allowing the rotor assembly 50 to rotate within the stator assembly 40. The fixed impeller 30 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of one end of the motor 100, and the fixed impeller 30 and the stator assembly 40 are connected together by fasteners 81, such as bolts. The moving impeller 20 is pressed against the other end of the rotor assembly 50. The gap between the fixed impeller 30 and the stator assembly 40 can be sealed using a seal 82, such as an O-ring.

[0004] In addition, Chinese utility model patent (CN202068269U) discloses a vacuum cleaner motor with an integrated impeller assembly, which includes an impeller with a lower plate, a bushing located on one side of the lower plate, a pressure ring located on the other side of the lower plate and having a pressure ring hole, and a motor shaft passing through the pressure ring hole, the lower plate, and the bushing. The lower plate has a shaft hole, and the bushing passes through the shaft hole and the pressure ring hole and is fastened to the pressure ring by stamping.

[0005] As mentioned above, the existing impeller is a one-piece press-fit structure, meaning it is tightly integrated with the shaft and cannot usually be disassembled using simple tools. If the impeller or shaft malfunctions, the entire assembly needs to be replaced, resulting in high maintenance costs. For example, if a blade on the impeller is damaged, it cannot be replaced individually; the entire impeller assembly must be replaced. Furthermore, because the impeller and shaft are a single unit, maintenance requires disassembling the entire fan casing and other components to access the impeller. This increases the complexity and time cost of maintenance. For instance, during maintenance, it may be necessary to disassemble components such as the motor and bearings, increasing the difficulty and risk of repairs. Utility Model Content

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0036] The foregoing and other technical contents, features, and effects of this utility model will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. The directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as up, down, left, right, front, or back, are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the present utility model. Furthermore, in all embodiments, the same reference numerals denote the same elements. Example 1

[0037] Combination Figures 2 to 5 A permanent magnet DC brushed fan includes a motor 100, a fixed impeller 30, and a moving impeller 20. The motor 100 includes a rotor assembly 50, a stator assembly 40, a brush holder assembly 60, and an end cover 70. One end of the rotor assembly 50 is mounted inside the end cover 70. The brush holder assembly 60 is fixed to the end cover 70 and connected to the rotor assembly 50. A certain air gap is maintained between the stator assembly 40 and the rotor assembly 50, allowing the rotor assembly 50 to rotate within the stator assembly 40. The fixed impeller 30 is fixed to the outer wall of one end of the motor 100. The moving impeller 20 is fixed to the other end of the rotor assembly 50 by a nut 84.

[0038] Specifically, in combination Figure 8 The rotor assembly 50 includes a shaft 501, a permanent magnet 502, and a commutator 503. The shaft 501 is mounted inside the end cover 70 via bearings. The permanent magnet 502 is fixed to the shaft 501 and connected to the brush holder assembly 60 via the commutator 503.

[0039] Furthermore, the rotor assembly 50 also includes a cooling fan 504 mounted on the shaft 501. The cooling fan 504 provides effective heat dissipation to ensure that the motor remains within a safe operating temperature range during operation.

[0040] In addition, combined Figure 4 The outer diameter of the rotating shaft 501 is 4mm. It should be noted that the existing outer diameter of the rotating shaft 501 is 3.175mm. This embodiment improves the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 501 by changing it from 3.175mm to 4mm, which can effectively reduce the vibration of the permanent magnet DC fan and optimize product performance.

[0041] Combination Figure 7 The stator assembly 40 includes a stator core 401 and a stator winding 402 embedded within the stator core 401. Specifically, the stator winding 402 is embedded in a slot in the stator core 401 and is isolated from the stator core 401 by an insulating material.

[0042] Combination Figure 6 The impeller 30 includes a mounting flange 301, a hub 302 located at the end of the mounting flange 301, and multiple blades 303 fixed within the hub 302. The multiple blades 303 can be evenly or non-uniformly distributed. The shape of the blades 303 is typically designed according to the fluid flow characteristics, and the angle of the blades 303 is typically precisely adjusted according to design requirements to ensure that the fluid has appropriate pre-swirl and velocity distribution before entering the impeller. The hub 302 is secured by fasteners 81. In this embodiment, the fasteners 81 can be Phillips head screws, which can withstand large tensile and shear forces, ensuring the strength and reliability of the connection. The screw's thread design and head shape help prevent loosening, especially in vibration and impact environments. The Phillips head design of the screw head makes installation and removal very convenient using a Phillips screwdriver or power tool.

[0043] The installation steps in this embodiment are as follows:

[0044] S1. The stator winding 402 is embedded into the slot of the stator core 401 according to the design requirements to form the stator assembly 40;

[0045] S2. Coaxially assemble the rotating shaft 501 and the permanent magnet 502; install bearings at both ends of the rotating shaft 501; install the commutator 503 at one end of the rotating shaft 501 to form the rotor assembly 50.

[0046] S3. Install the stator assembly 40 and the rotor assembly 50 into the mounting flange 301 of the stator impeller 30, with the end of the shaft 501 without the commutator 503 extending out of the stator impeller 30.

[0047] S4. Install the moving impeller 20 on the end of the rotating shaft 501 where the commutator 503 is not installed, and fix the moving impeller 20 to the end of the rotating shaft 501 where the commutator 503 is not installed with nut 84. Example 2

[0048] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 8 As shown, the permanent magnet DC fan also includes a bushing 85 fitted onto one end of the rotating shaft 501 and interference-fitted with it. The bushing 85 separates the rotating shaft 501 from the impeller 20. The bushing 85 can significantly reduce the wear of the rotating shaft 501 and extend its service life. Furthermore, the bushing 85 provides stable mechanical support for the rotating shaft 501, ensuring that the rotating shaft 501 maintains concentric rotation during operation and reducing vibration and eccentricity.

[0049] The installation principle of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here. Example 3

[0050] Based on Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, such as Figure 4 As shown, the permanent magnet DC fan also includes a first pressure ring 86 and a second pressure ring 87 that press against the moving impeller 20. The surface of the first pressure ring 86 is attached to the first surface of the moving impeller 20. The surface of the second pressure ring 87 is attached to the second surface of the moving impeller 20. The inner walls of the first pressure ring 86 and the second pressure ring 87 are attached to the outer wall of the bushing 85.

[0051] The installation principle of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here. Example 4

[0052] Based on any one of the embodiments from Example 1 to Example 3, such as Figure 2 As shown, the permanent magnet DC brushed fan also includes a shroud 10. The stator impeller 30 is installed inside the shroud 10. The shroud 10 protects the internal components of the permanent magnet DC brushed fan from external mechanical impacts and damage. It provides a robust enclosure for the permanent magnet DC brushed fan, preventing dust, debris, and liquids from entering the fan. Furthermore, the inner surface of the shroud 10 is typically designed to be streamlined, effectively guiding airflow into and out of the permanent magnet DC brushed fan.

[0053] The installation principle of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0054] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0055] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
