Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fan technology, specifically to an axial flow fan. Background Technology
[0002] A fan is a machine that uses input mechanical energy to increase gas pressure and discharge gas; it is a type of driven fluid machinery.
[0003] Existing fans are mainly composed of impellers, casings, motors and other components. When the motor starts, it drives the impeller to rotate, so that the gas enters the impeller axially from the air inlet. The gas energy is increased by the pushing of the blades on the impeller, and then flows into the guide vanes. The guide vanes deflect the airflow into axial flow and guide the gas into the diffuser, further converting the gas kinetic energy into pressure energy, and finally introducing it into the working pipeline.
[0004] To protect personnel safety and prevent foreign objects from entering, protective mesh covers are typically installed on the casing of wind turbines. These covers are usually made of robust materials with excellent impact resistance and corrosion resistance, ensuring safe operation of the wind turbine. After a period of use, dust accumulates on the impeller surface of existing wind turbines. To ensure the impeller's performance, it needs to be wiped clean, requiring the removal of the protective mesh cover from the casing. However, existing protective mesh covers are usually fixed to the casing with multiple bolts and nuts, requiring tools for disassembly and making the process cumbersome and time-consuming.

[0023] 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.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, an axial flow fan includes a housing 1, on which a protective mesh cover is provided. The protective mesh cover includes a mesh body 2, which is made of stainless steel, possessing high strength and hardness, and corrosion resistance, thus ensuring the durability of the protective mesh cover. Several connecting pieces 3 are provided at the edges of the mesh body 2 for fitting against the inner wall of the housing 1. Insertion holes 4 are provided on the connecting pieces 3. Several through holes communicating with locking holes are provided on the side wall of the housing 1. Several locking components are provided on the housing 1. The locking assembly includes a locking pin 5, which can move up and down. The locking pin 5 is used to pass through the through hole and insert into the insertion hole 4. When the protective mesh cover needs to be installed, it can be placed inside the housing 1 so that the connecting piece 3 is in contact with the inner wall of the housing 1. Then, the locking pin 5 is pushed to move, so that it passes through the through hole and inserts into the insertion hole 4, thereby locking the connecting piece 3. Through the combined action of multiple locking pins 5, the protective mesh cover can be fixed inside the housing 1. When the protective mesh cover needs to be removed, simply push the locking pin. 5. Move the pin 5 so that it exits sequentially from the insertion hole 4 and the through hole, thereby releasing the locking of the connecting piece 3. This allows the protective mesh cover to be removed from the inside of the housing 1 without the need for tools, making the disassembly operation more time-saving and labor-saving. An elastic sleeve 13 made of rubber is fitted outside the locking pin 5. After the locking pin 5 is inserted into the insertion hole 4, the elastic sleeve 13 will deform under the pressure of the inner wall of the insertion hole 4, thereby reducing the gap between the locking pin 5 and the insertion hole 4. The sealing makes the connection between the locking pin 5 and the insertion hole 4 more secure, thereby improving the installation firmness of the protective net cover inside the housing 1. Several stop plates 14 are provided on the inner wall of the housing 1. When the connecting plate 3 abuts against the stop plate 14, the locking hole and the through hole are connected. Therefore, when installing the protective net cover, by abutting the connecting plate 3 against the stop plate 14, the locking hole and the through hole can be aligned, so that the locking pin 5 can pass through the through hole and be inserted into the insertion hole 4 more easily, thus making the installation of the protective net cover more convenient.
[0025] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the locking assembly also includes a connecting seat 6 fixedly connected to the housing 1. A slider 7 is slidably connected inside the connecting seat 6, and the locking pin 5 is fixedly connected to the slider 7. By pushing the slider 7 to slide inside the connecting seat 6, the locking pin 5 can be moved accordingly, making operation convenient. A spring 8 is connected to the slider 7, and the end of the spring 8 away from the slider 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting seat 6. When the slider 7 is pushed to slide and retract into the connecting seat 6, the locking pin 5 will sequentially exit from the insertion hole 4 and the through hole, thus unlocking. This will compress the spring 8, causing it to deform. When the slider 7 is released, the spring 8 will be freed from the pressure and extend and return to its original shape, thereby pushing the slider 7 out and causing the locking pin 5 to pass through the through hole and insert into the insertion hole 4. The spring 8 will then apply a pushing force to the locking pin 5, making the locking pin 5 more securely locked to the connecting piece 3, thus ensuring that the protective mesh cover is properly secured to the housing. The internal installation is more secure. A groove 9 is provided along the length of the connecting seat 6, and a lever 10 is provided on the slider 7 that passes through the groove 9. By pushing the lever 10 to slide in the groove 9, the slider 7 can be driven to slide inside the connecting seat 6, thereby pushing the locking pin 5. The lever 10 provides a force point for pushing the locking pin 5, making the operation easier and less strenuous. A first magnet 11 is provided on the lever 10, and a second magnet 12 matching the first magnet 11 is provided on the connecting seat 6. When the lever 10 is moved, the slider 7 is pushed into the connecting seat 6, and the locking pin 5 is withdrawn from the insertion hole 4 and the through hole in sequence. The first magnet 11 and the second magnet 12 will attract each other, thereby limiting the lever 10 and limiting the locking pin 5. The locking pin 5 can then be pushed to unlock, making the unlocking operation more convenient and simple.
