Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fan sealing technology, and more specifically, to a sealing mechanism between a fan impeller and an air inlet. Background Technology
[0002] A centrifugal fan is a mechanical device that uses a high-speed rotating impeller to generate centrifugal force to transport gas. The gas enters the impeller from the axial air inlet, is thrown out radially under the action of centrifugal force, is collected and pressurized by the volute, and is discharged from the air outlet.
[0003] Currently, to effectively prevent media leakage or air infiltration during fan operation, the connection between the fan shaft and the casing is typically sealed. Using graphite packing as a sealing material is a widely used method. However, this sealing method has certain limitations in practice. Specifically, when performing the packing seal, operators need to cut the graphite packing and insert it into the sealing gland. After packing, the gland is tightened evenly and then secured with bolts. However, during this process, the operator's hands are occupied while applying pressure to the gland, making it difficult to simultaneously perform bolt installation or other auxiliary operations. Often, assistance from other personnel is required to complete the subsequent work. This operational inconvenience not only reduces work efficiency but may also affect the final sealing effect.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sealing mechanism between a fan impeller and an air inlet, comprising...

The clamps are pulled to move through the linkage and other structures, so that the clamps limit the side edges of the filling cap and pressure cap. By controlling the rotation direction and angle of the motor, it is convenient to quickly clamp and disassemble filling caps of different specifications. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 An embodiment of this utility model provides a sealing mechanism between a fan impeller and an air inlet, including...
[0025] A processing table 1 has a vertical frame 4 fixedly installed at the top along its length. A horizontal frame 5 is set at the top of the vertical frame 4. A screw 7 is rotatably installed in the middle of the horizontal frame 5. A rotating wheel 6 is fixedly installed at the top of the screw 7. A sleeve 8 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the bottom end of the screw 7. A pressure pad 9 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the sleeve 8.
[0026] The filling cover 2 is located below the pressure plate 9. The filling cover 2 has a filling groove 3 in the middle. The filling groove 3 is filled with graphite packing. The top of the filling cover 2 is provided with a pressure cover for pressing and fixing. The filling cover 2 is installed with the pressure cover bolt.
[0027] Among them, a connecting plate 10 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the bottom end of the sleeve 8, and a limit rod 11 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of both ends of the connecting plate 10. The outer surface of the two limit rods 11 is slidably sleeved with the inner surface of the cross frame 5.
[0028] Among them, the top surfaces of the vertical frame 4 are fixedly installed with fixing blocks 12, the outer surface of the fixing blocks 12 is slidably installed with the inner surfaces of both sides of the horizontal frame 5, the two ends of the side of the horizontal frame 5 are provided with slots 16, and the top side of the vertical frame 4 away from the fixing blocks 12 is provided with a snap-fit mechanism.
[0029] The snap-fit mechanism includes a cover box 13, the outer surface of which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the side of the vertical frame 4. A movable rod 15 is slidably sleeved on the inner surface of the cover box 13. A spring 14 is provided between the movable rod 15 and the cover box 13. The two ends of the spring 14 are fixedly connected to the side of the cover box 13 and the surface of the end of the movable rod 15, respectively. The end of the movable rod 15 is sleeved on the inner wall of the side of the vertical frame 4 and the inner surface of the slot 16.
[0030] By setting a snap-fit mechanism, when filling the inside of the filling cover 2 with graphite packing, the movable rod 15 can be moved outward first, so that its end moves out of the slot 16 to unlock the crossbar 5. Then, the crossbar 5 is moved laterally, so that the crossbar 5 moves laterally along the outer surface of the fixed block 12 until it reaches the slot 16 opened near the rotating wheel 6. Under the elastic reset action of the spring 14, the end of the movable rod 15 will be inserted into the inside of the slot 16 to lock the crossbar 5. This makes it easier to adjust the lateral position of the crossbar 5 and reduces the interference of the pressure plate 9 and other structures located above the filling cover 2 and in the middle of the crossbar 5 on the filling operation.
[0031] The upper surface of the middle part of the processing table 1 is fixedly installed with a housing 17, the top of the housing 17 is fixedly sleeved with a fixing plate 18, four sliders 20 are slidably installed on the inner surface of the fixing plate 18, the upper surface of each of the four sliders 20 is fixedly installed with a clamping piece 19, and the lower surface of each slider 20 is fixedly installed with a connecting rod 21.
[0032] An adjusting plate 22 is rotatably mounted on the inner surface of the bottom of the housing 17. The adjusting plate 22 has four guide grooves 26 inside. The inner surface of the guide grooves 26 is movably sleeved with the outer surface of the connecting rod 21. A toothed ring 23 is fixedly mounted on the side edge of the adjusting plate 22. A gear 24 meshes with the outer edge of the toothed ring 23. A motor 25 is provided on the top of the gear 24. The output end of the motor 25 is fixedly sleeved with the middle part of the gear 24, and its outer surface is fixedly mounted with the inner surface of the housing 17.
[0033] By setting the guide groove 26, during the rotation of the adjusting plate 22 against the inner wall of the housing 17, the guide groove 26 will push the connecting rod 21, which is traction sleeved inside the guide groove 26, to gradually approach the center of the adjusting plate 22, causing the slider 20 installed on the top of the connecting rod 21 to slide along the inner surface of the fixed plate 18, so that the clamping piece 19 moves, and completes the quick clamping or disassembly of the filling cover 2.
[0034] Among them, the four sliders 20, the four clamps 19, the four connecting rods 21, and the four guide grooves 26 are all arranged in a circle about the center of the connecting rod 21.
[0035] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0036] After fixing the filler cap 2 filled with graphite packing and the corresponding gland with bolts, the combined sealing mechanism can be installed at the connection between the fan main shaft and the housing for sealing treatment to reduce media leakage and other issues.
[0037] When fixing the filling cap 2 filled with graphite packing and the corresponding pressure cap, the filling cap 2 and the filling groove 3 can be combined and placed on the top of the fixing plate 18. Then, the control motor 25 drives the gear 24 to rotate, which drives the meshing gear ring 23 and the adjusting plate 22 fixed to the gear ring 23 to rotate along the inner wall of the bottom of the housing 17. The clamping plate 19 is moved by the connecting rod 21 and other structures, so that the clamping plate 19 limits the side edge of the filling cap 2 and the pressure cap. By controlling the rotation direction and angle of the motor 25, it is easy to quickly clamp and disassemble the filling cap 2 of different specifications.
[0038] After using the clamping plate 19 and other structures to limit the filling cap 2 and the corresponding pressure cap, the rotating wheel 6 can be rotated to drive the screw 7 fixedly connected at the bottom to rotate along the inner wall of the middle of the cross frame 5. The sleeve 8 threaded to the outer surface of the screw 7 will move downward along the outer surface of the screw 7, pushing the pressure pad 9 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sleeve 8 and the connecting plate 10 fixedly installed at the bottom to gradually move downward, so that the limiting rod 11 connected to the upper surfaces of both ends of the connecting plate 10 moves downward along the inner surface of the cross frame 5 to limit it until the pressure pad 9 presses on the top of the filling cap 2 and the corresponding pressure cap, so that the two are in a suitable compressed state. After that, the filling cap 2 and the corresponding pressure cap can be connected with bolts, so that the pressure pad 9 and other structures can be used to assist in the pressing operation of the filling cap 2 and the corresponding pressure cap, freeing up labor and providing a more uniform and stable pressing effect.
