Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the technical field of noise control for axial flow fans, and more specifically, to a soundproof cover for an axial flow fan. Background Technology

[0002] Axial flow fans, with their simple structure and high ventilation efficiency, are widely used in industrial production, building ventilation, and heat dissipation of various equipment. In factories, a large number of axial flow fans work together to deliver fresh air to the workshop and exhaust waste gas; in the ventilation systems of high-rise buildings, axial flow fans are responsible for maintaining air circulation and ensuring the comfort of the indoor environment.

[0003] However, axial flow fans generate significant noise during operation, causing considerable disruption to people's lives and work. The noise primarily originates from the high-speed rotation of the fan impeller, the operation of the motor, and the friction between the airflow and fan components. In industrial settings, the noise from axial flow fans can overlap with that from other equipment, creating a high-intensity noise environment. Prolonged exposure to such an environment can not only lead to hearing damage but also cause fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and other problems, ultimately impacting work efficiency and production safety.

[0004] In locations with high noise control requirements, such as hospitals, schools, and residential areas, the noise problem of axial flow fans is even more pronounced. Hospitals need a quiet environment to ensure patients' rest and recovery, schools need to create a good learning atmosphere for teachers and students, and residential areas are concerned with residents' quality of life. However, existing axial flow fans usually lack effective sound insulation measures; simple casings cannot block noise transmission, which limits the application of axial flow fans in these locations.

[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a soundproof cover for axial flow fans to reduce the noise generated during operation of axial flow fans and meet the needs of different usage scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this disclosure provide a soundproof cover for an axial flow fan, which solves the technical problem in the prior art that the high-speed rotation of the fan impeller, the operation of the motor, and the friction between the airflow and the fan components may cause the noise of the axial flow fan to be superimposed with the noise of other equipment, forming a high-intensity noise environment.

[0007] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a soundproof enclosure for an axial flow fan, comprising:

[0008] The package includes an outer shell and an air vent, wherein the air vent is disposed at the outer end of the outer shell;

A docking cover is provided on the outer surface of the outer casing, and an ejector layer is provided around the inner surface of the docking cover.

[0015] As a further technical solution, a baffle is provided inside the vent hood, and a raised layer is provided on the inner surface of the vent hood, with a reflective groove formed on the surface of the raised layer.

[0016] As a further technical solution, the steering connection assembly includes a slide rail, which is arranged around the outer surface of the docking cover, and a connecting sleeve is provided on the surface of the air vent cover, the connecting sleeve being slidably connected to the outside of the slide rail.

[0017] As a further technical solution, an annular layer is provided around the outer surface of the docking cover, and several slots are provided on the surface of the annular layer. Several limiting rods are provided on the surface of the air outlet cover, and the surface of the limiting rods protrudes outward and is embedded in the slots.

[0037] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a soundproof enclosure for an axial flow fan according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is provided, comprising:

[0039] The package includes an outer shell 1 and an air vent 2, wherein the air vent 2 is disposed at the outer end of the outer shell 1;

[0040] The steering connection assembly 6 is disposed between the outer casing 1 and the vent 2;

[0041] A plurality of brackets 3 and a fixing and mounting assembly 4, wherein the brackets 3 are all fixed inside the outer casing 1, and the fixing and mounting assembly 4 is disposed on the outer casing 1;

[0042] Noise reduction component 5, wherein the noise reduction component 5 is disposed inside the outer casing 1 and the air vent 2;

[0043] The fixed installation assembly 4 includes a pair of fixing blocks 4-1, which are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the outer surface of the outer casing 1. A tensioning screw 4-2 is rotatably connected inside the fixing block 4-1. One end of the tensioning screw 4-2 is threadedly connected to a pressure plate 4-3. A pair of notches 4-4 are opened on the outer end face of the outer casing 1. The pressure plate 4-3 is located in the notches 4-4. A pair of guide rods 4-5 are provided on the surface of the fixing block 4-1. One end of the guide rod 4-5 is slidably connected to the pressure plate 4-3.

[0044] In some examples, during the installation of the axial flow fan, to achieve a stable assembly between the axial flow fan and the outer casing 1, and to prevent the fan from shaking inside the casing and affecting its operation, a fixed installation component 4 is designed. This component includes a pair of fixing blocks 4-1 located at opposite ends on the outer surface of the outer casing 1, providing basic support for the entire installation and fixing structure. A tensioning screw 4-2 is rotatably fitted inside the fixing block 4-1, with one end connected to a pressure plate 4-3 via a threaded connection, forming the main fixing structure. When the tensioning screw 4-2 is rotated, the pressure plate 4-3 can be adjusted through the threaded drive. 3. Moving along the screw axis, it wraps around a pair of notches 4-4 on the outer end face of the outer casing 1, providing space for the movement of the pressure plate 4-3, allowing the pressure plate 4-3 to move within the notches 4-4 and apply pressure to the axial flow fan. A pair of guide rods 4-5 are provided on the surface of the fixing block 4-1, one end of which is slidably connected to the pressure plate 4-3, serving as a guide and limiter. The guide rods 4-5 ensure that the pressure plate 4-3 remains stable during movement, avoiding deviation or tilting, and ensuring that the pressure plate 4-3 applies pressure to the axial flow fan evenly, thereby achieving reliable fixation.

[0045] like Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, the noise reduction component 5 proposed in this embodiment includes sound-absorbing cotton 5-1, which is attached to the inner surface of the outer casing 1 around the perimeter. The outer surface of the outer casing 1 is provided with a docking cover 5-2, and the inner surface of the docking cover 5-2 is provided with an ejector layer 5-3 around the perimeter. The air vent 2 is provided with a baffle 5-4 inside, and the inner surface of the air vent 2 is provided with a protruding layer 5-5. The surface of the protruding layer 5-5 is provided with a reflective groove 5-6.

[0046] In some examples, the noise generated by the axial flow fan during operation can affect the surrounding environment. To reduce the noise generated by the axial flow fan within the outer casing 1 and the exhaust hood 2, a noise reduction component 5 is designed. This component includes sound-absorbing cotton 5-1 that adheres to the inner surface of the outer casing 1. The sound-absorbing cotton 5-1 can absorb some of the noise generated by the axial flow fan during operation, reducing the reflection and propagation of noise within the outer casing 1, thus playing a preliminary noise reduction role. The docking cover 5-2 is provided on the outer surface of the outer casing 1, and the ejector layer 5-3 is provided around its inner surface to further reduce noise. The noise from 1 is reflected and scattered, causing the noise energy to be continuously consumed within the docking cover 5-2, further reducing the outward transmission of noise. The baffle 5-4 set inside the exhaust cover 2 can change the path of noise propagation, causing the noise to be reflected and refracted multiple times within the exhaust cover 2, thereby consuming noise energy. The convex layer 5-5 set on the inner surface of the exhaust cover 2, and the reflective grooves 5-6 opened on the surface of the convex layer 5-5, can irregularly reflect the noise, disrupt the direction of noise propagation, and make the noise form a complex propagation path within the exhaust cover 2, increasing the loss of noise energy and effectively reducing the noise intensity transmitted from the exhaust cover 2.

[0047] like Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, the steering connection assembly 6 in this embodiment includes a slide rail 6-1, which is arranged around the outer surface of the docking cover 5-2. A connecting sleeve 6-2 is provided on the surface of the vent cover 2. The connecting sleeve 6-2 is slidably connected to the outside of the slide rail 6-1. An annular layer 6-3 is provided around the outer surface of the docking cover 5-2. A plurality of slots 6-4 are provided on the surface of the annular layer 6-3. A plurality of limiting rods 6-5 are provided on the surface of the vent cover 2. The limiting rods 6-5 protrude outward and are embedded in the slots 6-4.

[0048] In some examples, during the use of axial flow fans, in order to flexibly adjust the exhaust angle of the exhaust hood 2 to meet different usage requirements, a steering connection assembly 6 is designed. This assembly includes a slide rail 6-1 set around the outer surface of the docking cover 5-2, providing a sliding track foundation for the rotation of the exhaust hood 2. A connecting sleeve 6-2 set on the surface of the exhaust hood 2 slides around the outside of the slide rail 6-1, allowing the exhaust hood 2 to rotate circumferentially along the slide rail 6-1, thereby achieving initial adjustment of the exhaust angle. An annular layer 6-3 set around the outer surface of the docking cover 5-2 has several slots 6-4 on its surface, which cooperate with several limiting rods 6-5 set on the surface of the exhaust hood 2. The limiting rods 6-5 protrude outward and are embedded in the slots 6-4. This structure can not only limit the rotation position of the exhaust hood 2, ensuring that the exhaust hood 2 can be stably fixed after being adjusted to a suitable angle, but also withstand the external force during the rotation of the exhaust hood 2 to a certain extent, ensuring the reliability of the connection.

[0049] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the shield 5-4 has a bent transition structure, and the surface of the convex layer 5-5 is an umbrella-shaped raised structure.

[0050] In some examples, the flow path of gas and noise can be changed by bending the transition structure so that the noise can be better eliminated by the convex layer 5-5 and the reflective groove 5-6.

[0051] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the distance between the bracket 3 and the inner wall of the outer casing 1 is greater than the thickness of the sound-absorbing cotton 5-1.

[0052] In some examples, larger intervals allow the sound-absorbing cotton 5-1 enough space to eliminate noise.

[0053] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the vent hood 2 is provided with a number of grid bars 7.

[0054] In some examples, the grille bar 7 is used to concentrate the exhaust and prevent dust from easily entering.

[0055] In actual use: the axial flow fan is placed between the brackets 3 inside the outer casing 1. The tension screw 4-2 is rotated to move the pressure plate 4-3 under the guidance of the guide rod 4-5, thereby pressing the axial flow fan to achieve fixation. According to the usage requirements, the connecting sleeve 6-2 slides on the slide rail 6-1 and the angle of the exhaust hood 2 is adjusted by using the limit rod 6-5 and the slot 6-4. When the axial flow fan generates noise, the sound-absorbing cotton 5-1 absorbs part of the noise, the ejector layer 5-3 reflects and scatters the noise, the baffle 5-4, the convex layer 5-5 and the reflective groove 5-6 change the noise propagation path and consume energy, and the grille rod 7 concentrates the exhaust and blocks dust from entering.

[0056] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
