Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling fan technology, specifically to a low-noise cross-flow cooling fan. Background Technology

[0002] During operation, existing cooling fans are prone to radial misalignment of the fan blade shaft due to long-term high-speed operation or mechanical vibration. This causes the fan blade rotation center to not coincide with the housing center. This eccentric operation not only increases bearing wear and shortens the service life of the equipment, but also generates abnormal vibration and noise, seriously affecting the working environment. Traditional solutions mostly use rigid fixed structures, which cannot monitor and automatically correct shaft misalignment in real time. When slight misalignment occurs, it is still necessary to stop the machine for manual adjustment, which affects the continuous operation efficiency of the equipment and increases maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the defects and shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a low-noise crossflow cooling fan that is reasonably designed and easy to use, which can effectively solve the defects of the existing technology.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: it includes a cooling fan body, support feet, and a drive motor. Support feet are fixed to the four corners of the outer bottom wall of the cooling fan. A drive motor is installed on one side of the cooling fan body, and the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the shaft at one end of the fan blade inside the cooling fan body. It also includes:

[0005] Guide vanes, wherein there are several guide vanes, which are equally spaced in the air inlet of the cooling fan body, and the two sides of the guide vanes are screwed to the two side walls of the housing of the cooling fan body by shafts.

[0006] The sliding blocks are two in number and are respectively screwed onto the shafts on both sides of the fan blade via bearings. The sliding blocks are respectively slidably disposed in the sliding grooves on both sides of the cooling fan body housing.

[0007] A square rod is fixed on the output shaft of the drive motor and inserted into the shaft at one end of the fan blade.

[0008] Mounting plates, there are two mounting plates, and they are respectively sleeved and fixed on the shafts on both sides of the fan blade at one end of the outer side of the housing. Infrared sensors are fixed on the front side wall of each mounting plate. The receiving end of the infrared sensor is fixed on the outer side wall of the housing through the support plate. The infrared sensor is set in the same plane as the center of the housing.

[0009] An adjustment mechanism is provided inside the housing and is connected to an infrared sensor and a sliding block.

[0010] A fixed base is provided on the lower side of the drive motor. A protrusion on one side wall of the fixed base is movably disposed inside one side wall of the housing, and the protrusion is connected to the adjustment mechanism. The base plate of the drive motor is connected to the fixed base through a limiting mechanism.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the drive motor is mounted on the fixed base through a limiting mechanism. When the cooling fan body is in use, the drive motor is started, and the drive motor drives the fan blades in the cooling fan body to rotate. During the rotation, the position of the shaft on the fan blade is detected by an infrared sensor. When the shaft of the fan blade is offset, the infrared sensor transmits the signal to the adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism drives the sliding block and the fixed base to move until the axis of the fan blade shaft is in the same plane as the center of the housing, thereby avoiding the fan blade offset and reducing the noise generated during rotation.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the adjustment mechanism includes:

[0013] An internally threaded tube is fixed to the bottom wall of a sliding block on the side away from the drive motor.

[0014] The screw consists of two screws, which are symmetrically connected to the two side walls of the housing via bearings. The screw on the side adjacent to the drive motor is screwed to the protrusion on the fixed seat via threads, and the screw on the other side is screwed to the internal threaded tube via threads.

[0015] The drive rod is screwed into the bottom wall of the housing via bearings. Both ends of the drive rod are connected to the lower ends of the screws on both sides via worm gear pairs. An adjustment motor is fixed to one end of the drive rod. The adjustment motor is fixed on the outer wall of one side of the housing. An infrared sensor is connected to the adjustment motor via a controller.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the infrared sensor starts the regulating motor through the controller, the regulating motor drives the drive rod to rotate, the drive rod drives the screws on both sides to rotate through the worm gear pair, the screws on both sides drive the internal thread tube and the fixed seat to move up and down respectively, the internal thread tube drives the sliding block connected to it to move up and down, and the fixed seat drives the drive motor and the sliding block on the other side to move up and down until the center of the fan blade and the housing are on the same plane.

[0017] As a further improvement of this utility model, the limiting mechanism includes:

[0018] The sliding bar is fixed to the bottom wall of the support plate of the drive motor and is slidably disposed in the groove on the fixed base;

[0020] The limiting rods are multiple in number and are fixed at equal intervals on the upper surface of the limiting plate. The limiting rods are inserted into the slots on the bottom wall of the sliding strip.

[0021] With the above technical solution, when the drive motor is installed on the fixed base, the limiting plate is pushed down so that the limiting rod is located on the lower side of the upper sliding groove of the fixed base. Then, the sliding strip on the bottom wall of the drive motor is slid into the fixed base. When the drive motor moves to the appropriate position, the elastic force of the limiting spring drives the limiting plate to move upward and insert into the slot on the bottom wall of the sliding strip, thereby limiting the drive motor.

[0022] As a further improvement of this utility model, a pushing wedge is fixed on one side wall of the limiting plate, and the pushing wedge is movably disposed inside one side wall of the fixed seat.

[0023] With the above technical solution, when the sliding bar at the bottom of the drive motor is inserted into the fixed base, it abuts against the inclined surface of the push wedge and simultaneously abuts against the push wedge, causing the push wedge to drive the limiting plate to move downward, thereby facilitating the installation of the drive motor onto the fixed base.

[0024] As a further improvement of this utility model, each of the limiting springs is provided with a telescopic rod inside, and the upper and lower ends of the telescopic rod are fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the limiting plate and the inner bottom wall of the fixing seat, respectively.

[0025] The above technical solution can increase the stability of the limit plate when it moves up and down.

[0026] As a further improvement of this utility model, a filter plate is embedded and fixed in the air inlet of the cooling fan body, and the outer wall of the filter plate is set in the same plane as the outer wall of the air inlet of the cooling fan body; the air entering the cooling fan body can be filtered.

This utility model has the advantages of reasonable design and low manufacturing cost. Attached Figure Description

[0041] Adjustment mechanism 9, which is disposed inside the housing, is connected to infrared sensor 8 and sliding block 5;

[0042] The fixed seat 10 is located on the lower side of the drive motor 3. The protrusion on the left side wall of the fixed seat 10 is movably disposed inside the right side wall of the housing, and the protrusion is connected to the adjustment mechanism 9. The base plate of the drive motor 3 is connected to the fixed seat 10 through the limiting mechanism 11. Example

[0043] See Figure 1-3 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the adjustment mechanism 9 includes:

[0044] The internally threaded tube 9-1 is welded and fixed to the bottom wall of the sliding block 5 on the side away from the drive motor 3.

[0045] Screw 9-2, there are two screws 9-2, and they are symmetrically connected to the two side walls of the housing through bearings. The right screw 9-2 is screwed to the protrusion on the fixed seat 10 through threads, and the left screw 9-2 is screwed to the internal thread tube 9-1 through threads.

[0046] The drive rod 9-3 is screwed into the bottom wall of the housing via bearings.

[0047] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the limiting mechanism 11 includes:

[0048] The sliding bar 11-1 is welded and fixed to the bottom wall of the support plate of the drive motor 3, and the sliding bar 11-1 is slidably arranged in the groove on the fixed seat 10.

[0049] The limiting plate 11-2 is movably disposed on the lower side inside the fixed base 10. Several limiting springs 11-3 are welded and fixed at equal intervals on the lower surface of the limiting plate 11-2. The lower ends of the limiting springs 11-3 are welded and fixed to the inner bottom wall of the fixed base 10. Each limiting spring 11-3 is provided with a telescopic rod 13 inside.

[0050] A push wedge 12 is welded and fixed on the right side wall of the limiting plate 11-2. The push wedge 12 is movably disposed in the right side wall of the fixed base 10. When the sliding bar 11-1 at the bottom of the drive motor 3 is inserted into the fixed base 10, it abuts against the inclined surface of the push wedge 12 and simultaneously abuts against the push wedge 12, so that the push wedge 12 drives the limiting plate 11-2 to move downward, thereby facilitating the installation of the drive motor 3 onto the fixed base 10.

The screws 9-2 on both sides drive the internal thread tube 9-1 and the fixed seat 10 to move up and down respectively. The internal thread tube 9-1 drives the sliding block 5 connected to it to move up and down. The fixed seat 10 drives the drive motor 3 and the sliding block 5 on the other side to move up and down until the center of the fan blade and the housing are on the same plane, thereby avoiding the fan blade from shifting and reducing the noise generated during rotation.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this specific embodiment are as follows:
