AI Technical Summary
Existing wind turbines require two sets of drive units to adjust the wind direction, resulting in high manufacturing costs and inconvenient operation, especially when the wind direction changes periodically, requiring complex control devices.
A device is used to adjust the wind direction at any angle through a guide wheel and a strip structure driven by an electric motor. The deflection of the guide wheel and strip changes the airflow direction, and the design of screws and bushings enables flexible adjustment of the wind direction.
It enables arbitrary angle adjustment of wind direction, reduces manufacturing costs and simplifies operation, and is suitable for smooth adjustment when wind direction changes periodically.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a fan, and more particularly to a fan with wind direction adjustment function. Background Technology
[0002] In some situations, it is necessary to adjust the wind direction of the fan, such as tilting the wind upwards, downwards, leftwards, or rightwards. For upward and downward tilting adjustments, one set of upward and downward drive devices is used to change the fan's tilt angle. For leftward and right tilting, a separate set of leftward and rightward drive devices is used to change the leftward or rightward tilt direction of the louvers at the fan outlet. The need for two sets of drive devices increases the fan's manufacturing cost. If the wind direction requires adjustments such as tilting leftwards or rightwards, both sets of devices must operate in conjunction, which is inconvenient. Furthermore, if the wind direction needs to change periodically, additional control devices must be added to both sets of devices. Utility Model Content
[0003] To facilitate the adjustment of the wind direction of the fan, this utility model proposes a fan with wind direction adjustment function, which only requires one set of devices to achieve adjustment of the wind direction at any angle.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is a fan with wind direction adjustment function, which includes a motor 3. The motor housing is fixedly inserted into a sleeve 6. Multiple stiffeners 4 are symmetrically connected between the outer circle of the sleeve 6 and the inner wall of the cylindrical housing 5 of the fan. An impeller 2 is connected to the main shaft of the motor. The main shaft of the motor faces away from the air outlet at the right end of the fan housing. A guide wheel is provided at the right end of the housing. Multiple strips 8 are fixedly connected parallel to each other along the chord length of the rim 7 of the guide wheel. The spacing between adjacent strips 8 is equal. The strips are tilted at a certain angle. The bushing 10 at the center of the guide wheel passes through the strip. The outer circle of the bushing is fixedly connected to the strip it contacts. The right end of the sleeve is closed. A shaft post 11 extends to the right from the closed end of the sleeve. The bushing 10 is fitted on the shaft post 11. A screw 12 is screwed into the right end of the shaft post. The flange at the right end of the screw is in contact with the right end face of the bushing.
[0005] The beneficial effects of this invention are that the airflow generated by the impeller is deflected when it passes through the strip plate, i.e., the wind direction is deflected. Rotating the guide wheel can change the direction of the airflow. Only one device is needed to achieve adjustment of the wind direction at any angle, which can reduce manufacturing costs; when it is necessary to adjust the wind direction, loosen the screw, rotate the guide wheel at a certain angle, and then tighten the screw; it is convenient to use.

[0009] A fan with wind direction adjustment function includes a motor 3, the motor housing is fixedly inserted into a sleeve 6, and multiple stiffening plates 4 are symmetrically connected between the outer circle of the sleeve 6 and the inner wall of the cylindrical housing 5 of the fan. The housing is connected to the base 14, and an impeller 2 is connected to the main shaft of the motor. The impeller is covered by a protective cover 1.
[0010] The main shaft of the motor faces away from the air outlet at the right end of the fan housing. A guide wheel is provided at the right end of the fan. Multiple strips 8 are fixedly connected to each other parallel to each other along the chord length of the guide wheel rim 7. The spacing between adjacent strips 8 is equal. The strips are flipped at a certain angle. The bushing 10 at the center of the guide wheel passes through the strip. The outer circle of the bushing is fixedly connected to the strip it contacts. The right end of the bushing is closed. A shaft post 11 extends to the right from the closed end of the bushing. The bushing 10 is fitted on the shaft post 11. A screw 12 is screwed into the right end of the shaft post. The flange at the right end of the screw is in contact with the right end face of the bushing.
[0011] The airflow generated by the impeller is deflected when it passes through the baffles, thus changing the airflow direction. Rotating the guide wheel can change the direction of the airflow, such as to the right, left, upper right, or lower left. To adjust the airflow direction, loosen the screw, rotate the guide wheel at a certain angle, and then tighten the screw.
[0012] The tilting angle of the strip 8 can be selected between 3 and 9 degrees, preferably 6 degrees.
[0013] The spacing between adjacent strips 8 is slightly larger than the width of the strip.
[0014] The guide wheel can be made of cast aluminum or injection molded. If injection molding is used, multiple reinforcing strips 9 are connected to the strip, which can reduce the thickness of the strip and help reduce the resistance of the strip to airflow. Adjacent reinforcing strips are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the strip.
[0015] By loosening the screw appropriately, the guide wheel can rotate under the action of airflow, thus allowing the airflow direction at the fan outlet to change periodically. The rotational speed of the guide wheel is related to the tightness of the screw; the looser the screw, the higher the rotational speed of the guide wheel. To smoothly adjust the rotational speed of the guide wheel, the shaft 11 has a taper, with the diameter of the right end of the shaft being smaller than the diameter of the left end. The inner circle of the bushing 10 has a taper that matches the shaft 11. To prevent the screw from rotating along with the guide wheel, a plane bearing 13 (thrust ball bearing) is provided between the flange of the screw 12 and the bushing, with the plane bearing fitted onto the screw.
