Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fume hood technology, specifically to an internal circulation ductless fume hood. Background Technology
[0002] Fume hoods are a common type of local exhaust ventilation equipment used in laboratories. They completely and promptly remove harmful gases from the work area, preventing operators from inhaling toxic, harmful, and odorous gases, thus providing excellent protection. Fume hoods typically have a work area where operators conduct experiments, and a fan at the top of the fume hood exhausts harmful gases.
[0003] Reference patent (publication number: CN207507955U; publication date: 2018-06-19) discloses a safe and environmentally friendly laboratory fume hood, the main body of which includes a lower cabinet and an upper cabinet located above the lower cabinet. An experimental table is provided on the upper part of the lower cabinet. The upper cabinet is an open cabinet assembled from a back panel, side panels and a top panel. A transparent sliding door is installed at the opening of the upper cabinet. A snap-fit plate is provided below the transparent sliding door. An exhaust duct is installed on the top of the upper cabinet. Hollow columns are installed on both sides of the upper cabinet. Limiters are installed on the hollow columns. The limiters can be embedded in the hollow columns. A baffle is installed above the opening of the upper cabinet located outside the transparent sliding door.
[0004] Based on the aforementioned patent, the fan inside the internal circulation ductless fume hood is activated to draw air from the experimental area into the fume hood. The filtered clean air is then returned to the experimental area by the fan, forming an internal circulation. This avoids the exhaust gas from the ducted fume hood being discharged outdoors through pipes. However, existing equipment lacks precise directional control when exhausting gas, which may cause exhaust gas to blow directly towards experimental personnel or sensitive equipment, affecting experimental safety and operational comfort. Therefore, this utility model provides an internal circulation ductless fume hood. Utility Model Content

[0014] Beneficial effects
[0015] This invention provides a ductless fume hood with internal circulation. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0016] Firstly, the fan in this invention is used to draw in external gas, filter it, and then discharge it. The direction of the discharge is controlled by a guide plate. A gear rod slides on the inner wall of a limiting plate via a connecting block and an electric push rod. The gear rod drives a transmission gear to rotate, causing the support shaft on the transmission gear to rotate. This, in turn, adjusts the angle of the guide plate on the outer wall of the support shaft, controlling the direction of the discharged gas. This precise control of the discharged gas direction prevents the gas from directly blowing onto personnel or sensitive equipment, improving experimental safety. Furthermore, the flexible adjustment of the guide plate angle allows for dynamic adjustment of the gas discharge direction according to experimental needs or environmental conditions, enhancing the applicability of the equipment.
[0017] Secondly, the mesh frame set in this utility model is installed on the top of the fume hood body to protect the operating fan, prevent external objects or personnel from accidentally contacting the fan, and ensure the safe operation of the equipment. The mesh frame is inserted into the positioning shell on both sides of the supporting shell through the positioning bracket, and is locked and disassembled by the second bolt, so that the mesh frame can be quickly locked or disassembled, which is convenient for the maintenance of the fan.

[0034] During operation, the fan 802 draws in air from the fume hood, filters it through the HEPA filter 801, and then discharges it, thus purifying the laboratory air. The HEPA filter 801 filters the air in the fume hood, removing harmful particles, microorganisms, and pollutants to ensure that the discharged or recirculated air is clean. The snap-fit design of the elastic buckle 803 and the positioning hole 804 ensures that the HEPA filter 801 is firmly installed in the support frame 8, preventing it from loosening due to vibration or airflow impact. This also makes installation and disassembly easier and facilitates regular replacement or maintenance.

The gear rod 305 slides on the inner wall of the limiting plate 304 through the push of the connecting block 306 and the electric push rod 307. The gear rod 305 drives the transmission gear 303 to rotate, causing the support shaft 301 on the transmission gear 303 to rotate. This adjusts the angle of the guide plate 302 on the outer wall of the support shaft 301, controlling the direction of the discharged gas. This allows for precise control of the discharged gas direction, preventing the gas from directly blowing onto experimental personnel or sensitive equipment, improving experimental safety.
