Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a novel cross-flow fan structure. Background Technology

[0002] Cross-flow fans are characterized by their simple structure, small size, large airflow, and low noise. They are widely used in electric fireplaces, equipment cooling and heat dissipation, fresh air systems, ventilation, heating and cooling rooms, wall-mounted air conditioners, display cabinets, air-cooled refrigerators, air evaporators, floor-standing air conditioners, heaters, air curtains, clothes dryers, built-in ovens, and other household appliances. However, existing cross-flow fans still have the disadvantage of inconvenient operation when installing and connecting the motor and fan.

[0003] Existing cross-flow fans mostly use internal rotor motors, where the internal rotor rotates synchronously with the motor's output shaft, which drives the fan blades. The motor bracket is fixedly connected to the external stator. During installation, one hand is sufficient to hold the external stator, and the other hand to hold the fan; the motor bracket's locking mechanism can then be screwed into the locking holes on the side of the fan. However, if the motor is an external rotor motor, the motor bracket is fixedly connected to the internal stator, and the motor bracket and external rotor can rotate relative to each other. In this case, this installation method is not feasible. Because the installation space for the motor bracket is limited, it is inconvenient to hold it by hand. Existing methods rely on complex external tools for clamping, which is inconvenient and slow.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical features of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can understand them.

[0025] A novel cross-flow fan structure, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the device includes a motor 1 and a fan 2. A motor bracket 3 is provided on the motor 1 to connect the fan 2. The output shaft 101 of the motor 1 passes through the motor bracket 3 and extends into the fan 2 to drive the fan blades of the fan 2 to rotate. The motor 1 is an external rotor motor. Several screw holes 201 are provided on the side of the fan 2. Several screw parts 301 are provided on the motor bracket 3 to screw into the screw holes 201. Several fixing buckles 302 are also provided on the motor bracket 3 to fix the motor bracket 3 on the mounting base 4 and rotate the fan 2 to screw the screw parts 301 into the screw holes 201.

[0026] The fan 2 of this novel cross-flow fan is cylindrical. During installation, the mounting base 4 is not required. By holding the fixing buckle 302 with your hand and rotating the motor bracket 3 or the fan 2, the screw buckle 301 can be screwed into the fixing buckle 302 of the screw buckle hole 201 to form a snap. Therefore, the worker's hand can be regarded as equivalent to the mounting base 4, but using the mounting base 4 will be more convenient and faster for installation.

[0027] As described above, in the novel cross-flow fan structure, the swivel hole 201 includes a large hole and a small hole connected together, and the swivel part 301 is screwed into the small hole from the large hole.

[0028] The buckle part 301 is provided with a locking protrusion, and two locking points are provided on the outside of the small hole of the buckle hole 201. When the buckle part 301 is screwed into the small hole of the buckle hole 201, the locking protrusion is engaged between the two locking points to form a positioning.

[0029] As described above, in the novel cross-flow fan structure, the rotating buckle hole 201 is preferably provided with four holes, which are symmetrically arranged on the side of the fan 2 in a circumferential manner, while the rotating buckle part 301 is preferably provided with two holes, and the fixing buckle part 302 is also preferably provided with two holes.

[0030] As described above, in the novel cross-flow fan structure, the motor 1 includes an outer rotor 102 fixedly connected to the output shaft 101, an inner stator, and a bearing housing 103 fixedly connected to the inner stator. The bearing housing 103 has multiple studs 5 for fixing the motor bracket 3. The outer rotor 102 drives the output shaft 101 to rotate together; when the output shaft 101 rotates, the bearing housing 103 and the inner stator do not rotate.

[0031] As described above, in the novel cross-flow fan structure, the motor bracket 3 includes a circular housing with a large hole 306 that matches the bearing seat 103. The output shaft 101 passes through the large hole 306. The housing has a strip hole 303 connected to the large hole 306 and several small holes 304. The housing is tightened to the stud portion 5 by screws passing through the strip hole 303 and the small holes 304.

[0032] The strip-shaped hole 303 is an adjustable mounting hole, which can increase the number of motor mounting holes and match more motor models, enriching the product range and giving customers more choices. The diameter of the large hole 306 is slightly larger than the diameter of the bearing housing 103, making it easier to fit the motor bracket 3 and the protective cover 105 onto the bearing housing 103.

[0033] The edge region of the housing portion extends downward and then bends outward to form the snap fastener 301, and the edge region of the housing portion extends outward to form the retaining buckle 302. "Outward" refers to the radial direction. The snap fastener 301 is nested with the snap fastener hole 201 and then rotated to engage, making installation and disassembly convenient and quick.

[0034] The outer edge of the housing has a flange 307, which strengthens the overall strength of the motor bracket 3, making the motor bracket 3 less prone to deformation. After installation, the flange 307 rests against the side of the fan 2.

[0035] Preferably, the fixing buckle 302 and the screw buckle 301 are integrally provided on the housing, that is, the motor bracket 3 is an integral sheet metal part, and the stud part 5 is also integrally provided on the bearing seat 103.

[0036] The surface of the fixing buckle 302 is flush with the surface of the housing, and the distance between the outer sides of the two fixing buckles 302 is greater than the diameter of the outer rotor 102, which facilitates positioning on the mounting base 4.

[0037] As described above, in the novel cross-flow fan structure, a circuit board 104 and a protective cover 105 are also fixed on the bearing housing 103. The circuit board 104, the protective cover 105, and the motor bracket 3 are all fixed on the stud portion 5 by screws. The protective cover 105 is placed between the bearing housing 103 and the motor bracket 3. The protective cover 105 is also provided with the small hole 304 and the large hole 306. The protective cover 105 is also provided with a notch 6 for the wiring of the circuit board 104 to pass through.

[0038] Additionally, the fixing buckle 302 may also be provided with a positioning hole 305, and the mounting base 4 includes a base body, such as Figure 4 As shown, the base has a receiving hole 401 for accommodating the motor 1, and a plurality of slots 402 for positioning the fixing buckle 302 are provided on the edge of the receiving hole 401. During installation, screws can be tightened through the positioning holes 305 into the slots 402 for further fixation.

[0039] The embodiments described herein are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the concept and scope of the invention. Any modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the design concept of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
