[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an oil sealing structure, including a rotating shaft 3, an oil suction member 4, and a positioning cover 5. The positioning cover 5 is connected to the rotating shaft 3. The rotating shaft 3 is provided with an oil cut-off groove 31 in the circumferential direction. The oil suction member 4 is arranged close to the oil cut-off groove 31. When the lubricating oil moves to the oil cut-off groove 31 under the rotation of the rotating shaft 3, it is absorbed by the oil suction member 4.
[0031] The rotating shaft 3 can be made of a high-strength and wear-resistant metal material, such as stainless steel, to ensure that it is not easily worn or deformed during long-term rotation. The connection between the rotating shaft 3 and the positioning cover 5 can take various forms. For example, an external thread can be provided on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 3, and a corresponding internal threaded hole can be provided in the positioning cover 5, achieving a stable connection through threaded engagement; alternatively, a snap-fit protrusion can be provided on the rotating shaft 3, and a corresponding snap-fit groove can be provided in the positioning cover 5, connecting them through snap-fit. An oil cut-off groove 31 is provided circumferentially on the rotating shaft 3. The oil cut-off groove 31 can be an annular groove, with its depth adjustable according to actual needs, generally between 0.5mm and 2mm, and its width between 1mm and 3mm. This size ensures that the lubricating oil has sufficient space within the groove without excessively weakening the strength of the rotating shaft 3.
[0032] Specifically, the oil cut-off groove 31 has an inclined surface 311 on its groove wall. The angle between the inclined surface 311 and the axial direction of the rotating shaft 3 can be set to 30°-60°, such as 45°, so that when the rotating shaft 3 rotates, the lubricating oil can more smoothly converge into the oil cut-off groove 31 along the inclined surface 311, avoiding the accumulation of lubricating oil on the groove wall.
[0033] The oil-absorbing component 4 is arranged near the oil-cut-off groove 31. The oil-absorbing component 4 has a ring-shaped structure and is made of an oil-loving material, such as sponge or non-woven fabric. The inner ring of the oil-absorbing component 4 contacts the rotating shaft 3, with the contact point located above the oil-cut-off groove 31 to ensure that the lubricating oil is promptly absorbed after entering the oil-cut-off groove 31. The tightness of the contact between the inner ring of the oil-absorbing component 4 and the rotating shaft 3 can be achieved by controlling the inner diameter of the oil-absorbing component 4 to be slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 3. This ensures good contact between the oil-absorbing component 4 and the rotating shaft 3 without causing excessive resistance to the rotation of the rotating shaft 3.
[0034] The outer ring of the oil-absorbing component 4 is fixedly connected to the positioning cover 5. Specifically, the bottom of the positioning cover 5 is provided with a nesting hole 51. The oil-absorbing component 4 can be fixed in the nesting hole 51 by interference fit, or the oil-absorbing component 4 can be fixed in the nesting hole 51 by adhesive such as glue, so as to ensure that the oil-absorbing component 4 will not loosen or shift during use.
[0035] When the oil sealing structure is working, the lubricating oil adhering to the rotating shaft 3 moves with the rotation of the shaft 3. Due to the presence of the oil cut-off groove 31 and the guidance of the inclined surface 311 of the groove wall, the lubricating oil will gather in the oil cut-off groove 31. At this time, the oil suction component 4 arranged near the oil cut-off groove 31 can quickly absorb the lubricating oil in the oil cut-off groove 31, thereby effectively preventing the lubricating oil from being thrown out of the rotating shaft 3, significantly improving the oil sealing effect, reducing equipment failures caused by lubricating oil leakage, and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0036] In addition to an annular groove, the shape of the oil cut-off groove 31 can also be a spiral groove. The spiral groove can more effectively guide the lubricating oil to flow in a specific direction and converge into the oil cut-off groove 31.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model embodiment also provides a fan, including a fan blade 1, an outer frame 2, a stator assembly 9, a bearing 6, and the above-mentioned oil sealing structure. The stator assembly 9 is fixed in the outer frame 2, the bearing 6 is connected to the stator assembly 9, the rotating shaft 3 is connected to the bearing 6, and the fan blade 1 is connected to the rotating shaft 3. When the rotating shaft 3 rotates, it drives the fan blade 1 to rotate.
[0038] The outer frame 2, serving as the fan's outer shell, protects and supports the internal components. It can be made of a high-strength, yet resilient, plastic, such as ABS plastic, to reduce the overall weight of the fan while maintaining structural strength. The outer frame 2 can be round, square, or other conventional shapes, and its dimensions depend on the specific application.
[0039] The stator assembly 9 is fixed in the outer frame 2. The specific fixing method can be to set a fixing lug on the outer periphery of the stator assembly 9, open a fixing groove at the corresponding position on the inner wall of the outer frame 2, insert the fixing lug into the fixing groove, and then tighten it with screws; or use strong glue to directly bond the stator assembly 9 to the inner wall of the outer frame 2.
[0040] Bearing 6 can be a deep groove ball bearing 6, the inner diameter of which is matched with the diameter of the shaft 3 to ensure that bearing 6 and shaft 3 fit tightly and can rotate flexibly. The connection between bearing 6 and stator assembly 9 can be achieved by setting mounting holes for bearing 6 on stator assembly 9, and pressing bearing 6 into the mounting holes with an interference fit. To further enhance the connection stability, an appropriate amount of thread-locking agent can be applied to the contact area between bearing 6 and mounting hole.
[0041] The rotating shaft 3 passes through the inner hole of the bearing 6, and the two are connected by an interference fit. The fan blade 1 is connected to the rotating shaft 3. The fan blade 1 can be made of lightweight and high-strength aluminum alloy or plastic. The connection method between the fan blade 1 and the rotating shaft 3 can be as follows: a shaft hole is set in the center of the fan blade 1, and the shaft hole and the rotating shaft 3 are connected by a key. A keyway is machined on the rotating shaft 3, the key is embedded in the keyway, and then the shaft hole of the fan blade 1 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 3, and the fan blade 1 is fixed to the rotating shaft 3 with screws; or a snap ring connection is used, with an annular groove on the rotating shaft 3 and a snap ring groove in the shaft hole of the fan blade 1. The snap ring is installed in the groove, achieving a quick connection between the fan blade 1 and the rotating shaft 3. When the rotating shaft 3 rotates, it can stably drive the fan blade 1 to rotate, realizing the fan's air delivery function.
[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a fan also includes a retaining ring 7, which is snapped onto the rotating shaft 3, and the bearing 6 is confined between the positioning cover 5 and the retaining ring 7.
[0043] The function of the retaining ring 7 is to cooperate with the positioning cover 5 to securely limit the bearing 6 in a specific position, ensuring that all components of the fan can operate stably and reliably.
[0044] The retaining ring 7 is made of a metal material with a certain degree of elasticity and strength, such as spring steel. This material ensures that when the retaining ring 7 is snapped onto the rotating shaft 3, it can generate sufficient elastic deformation to achieve the snapping action, and it can also maintain a stable state after snapping. The retaining ring 7 is generally an open ring structure, and the open design facilitates its installation onto the rotating shaft 3. The cross-sectional shape of the retaining ring 7 can be circular, rectangular, etc., and the specific dimensions are determined according to the diameter of the rotating shaft 3 and the actual usage requirements.
[0045] A ring-shaped groove is machined on the rotating shaft 3, and the depth and width of the groove match the size of the retaining ring 7. When installing the retaining ring 7, the opening of the retaining ring 7 is opened so that it can be inserted into the rotating shaft 3 and locked into the groove. After the retaining ring 7 is locked into the groove, due to its own elasticity, it will fit tightly in the groove and will not easily fall off.
[0046] Bearing 6 is positioned between the positioning cover 5 and the retaining ring 7. After the positioning cover 5 is connected to the rotating shaft 3, one end face of the positioning cover 5 contacts one end face of the bearing 6; while after the retaining ring 7 is engaged with the rotating shaft 3, one side of the retaining ring 7 contacts the other end face of the bearing 6. Thus, through the combined action of the positioning cover 5 and the retaining ring 7, bearing 6 is firmly fixed in a specific position in the axial direction, preventing axial movement. For example, during fan operation, the rotating shaft 3 rotates at high speed. If bearing 6 is not effectively limited, it may move in the axial direction, causing friction or collision with other components, affecting the normal operation and service life of the fan. This method of limiting bearing 6 through the cooperation of the retaining ring 7 and the positioning cover 5 avoids the above problems, ensuring that bearing 6 is always in a stable working state.
[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a fan also includes a pad 8, which is disposed at the bottom of the shaft 3.
[0048] The material of gasket 8 can be flexibly selected according to actual needs, such as rubber, specifically nitrile rubber or polytetrafluoroethylene. Gasket 8 has a sheet-like structure;
[0049] When installing shim 8, place shim 8 on the bottom of shaft 3, ensuring that shim 8 is flat and perpendicular to shaft 3.
[0050] By placing a shim 8 at the bottom of the shaft 3, vibrations generated during the rotation of the shaft 3 can be effectively absorbed, reducing noise caused by vibration transmission and making the fan operate more quietly. Furthermore, the shim 8 prevents direct contact and friction between the bottom of the shaft 3 and other components, preventing wear on the bottom of the shaft 3 and protecting the surfaces of the components in contact with it, thus extending the service life of all fan components. In addition, by selecting shims 8 of different thicknesses, the axial position of the shaft 3 can be fine-tuned, ensuring the assembly precision between fan components and making the fan operate more stably.
[0051] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
