Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circulating fan technology, and in particular to a compact circulating fan. Background Technology
[0002] A circulating fan is a device used to promote the circulation of gas within a specific space. Its core functions are to achieve air circulation, ventilation, and temperature regulation. Its working principle is that the motor drives the impeller to rotate, causing the air to flow in a specific direction and forming a circulating airflow. It is widely used in air conditioning systems (to assist in the distribution of hot and cold air), industrial plants (to remove dust and dissipate heat), agricultural greenhouses (to regulate temperature and humidity), and other scenarios.
[0003] In daily work, it has been found that most existing circulating fans are driven by either a direct connection between the motor and the fan or a combination of a motor and a belt. However, both the mainstream direct connection and belt-driven methods result in an excessively large overall size of the equipment. The direct connection method requires the motor to be axially aligned with the fan, which significantly increases the axial length of the entire machine. While belt drive can achieve vertical transmission, it requires additional space for the installation of pulleys and tensioning devices, resulting in an excessively large radial dimension and affecting subsequent installation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the mainstream solutions of direct motor connection or motor-fan transmission via belt in the existing technology both lead to excessively large overall equipment size, and to propose a compact circulating fan.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a compact circulating fan, comprising a housing, an impeller body, an air inlet, an air outlet, and a transmission mechanism, wherein the impeller body is installed in the inner wall of the housing, and the air inlet and air outlet are both disposed on the surface of the housing; the transmission mechanism is disposed on the surface of the housing, and the transmission mechanism includes a bracket and a drive motor.
[0006] The bracket is mounted on the surface of the housing, and the drive motor is mounted on the surface of the bracket, arranged vertically. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the impeller body, and a bevel gear is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod. A bevel gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, and the bevel gear meshes with the bevel gear. A protective part is provided on the surface of the housing, including a base plate fixed to the surface of the housing. A protective cover is installed on the base plate by screws, and a protruding plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the base plate. A groove for inserting the protruding plate is opened on the lower surface of the protective cover. By using the above components, and by setting the drive motor vertically, and by driving the connecting rod and impeller body to rotate through the bevel gear and bevel gear, the overall volume can be reduced, making it more compact. At the same time, the base plate, protective cover, and protruding plate cooperate with each other to protect the transmission parts.
[0007] Preferably, the inner wall of the protective cover is rotatably connected to a support shaft, and the surface of the bevel gear is provided with a slot for the support shaft to be inserted. Through the above components, when the protective cover is installed, the support shaft in the protective cover can be inserted into the slot on the surface of the bevel gear, so that the support shaft can achieve a support effect when the bevel gear rotates.
[0008] Preferably, a cover plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the protective cover, and a handle is fixedly connected to the surface of the cover plate. When it is necessary to apply lubricating oil or clean the bevel gear one and bevel gear two, the cover plate can be moved by the handle, so that the bevel gear one and bevel gear two inside can be operated accordingly.
[0009] Preferably, the cover plate is fixedly connected to a spring on the corresponding side of the inner wall of the protective cover. There are two springs. Through the above-mentioned components, the springs can control the cover plate to reset, while ensuring the stability of the cover plate when closed.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the air inlet on the surface of the housing is provided with an auxiliary device, which includes a filter plate located in the inner wall of the air inlet. The inner wall of the filter plate is provided with multiple sets of mounting parts, and the inner wall of the air inlet is provided with multiple sets of insertion holes for the mounting parts to be inserted. Through the above components, the filter plate can be installed in the inner wall of the air inlet through the mounting parts, thereby achieving the function of interception and filtration.
[0011] Preferably, a convex ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet. Through the above-mentioned components, the convex ring can position the filter plate and also play a supporting role.
[0012] Preferably, the mounting part includes a threaded sleeve that is slidably connected to the inner wall of the filter plate, and a screw is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the filter plate. The screw is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve, and the threaded sleeve is inserted into the inner wall of the insertion hole. With the above components, during installation, only the screw needs to be rotated, and the screw controls the threaded sleeve to move. The threaded sleeve can be inserted into the insertion hole to achieve the function of installation and positioning.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, by setting up a transmission mechanism, the transmission motor drives the impeller to rotate through the vertical meshing of bevel gear one and bevel gear two. The axial direct connection of the transmission motor is changed to a horizontal arrangement, which reduces the axial length of the fan and makes the whole more compact. At the same time, the protection part can protect the transmission parts of bevel gear one and bevel gear two, improving the overall practicality.
[0015] 2. In this utility model, by pushing the cover plate on the protective cover, bevel gear one and bevel gear two can be cleaned and lubricated.
[0016] 3. In this utility model, by setting auxiliary components, the filter plate is installed in the inner wall of the air inlet through multiple mounting parts, and the convex ring can support the filter plate, so as to effectively intercept the air during air intake and improve the protection effect of the impeller body.

A spring 535 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 534 on the corresponding side of the inner wall of the protective cover 533. There are two springs 535.
[0026] In this implementation scheme: by vertically setting the drive motor 52 and driving the connecting rod 54 and impeller body 2 to rotate through bevel gear 2 56 and bevel gear 1 55, the overall volume can be reduced, making it more compact. At the same time, the base plate 531, protective cover 533 and protruding plate 532 cooperate with each other to protect the transmission parts. When the protective cover 533 is installed, the support shaft 537 in the protective cover 533 can be inserted into the slot 57 on the surface of bevel gear 1 55, so that the support shaft 537 can provide support when bevel gear 1 55 rotates.
