[0002] In an inverted axial flow fan system, the motor is installed on the outlet side of the air duct with the motor shaft facing downwards. The main rib of the mesh cover supports the weight of the motor and impeller and is installed on the outlet plane of the air duct. A complete axial flow fan system includes a motor, bracket, impeller, air guide ring, and mesh cover. After being assembled into a complete fan system, one end of the main rib of the mesh cover is fixed to the motor, bearing the weight of the motor and impeller, while the other end is connected to the air duct. Therefore, the strength of the main rib of the mesh cover has a significant impact on the reliability of the fan system.

[0003] The existing wind turbine system has a circular double main rib on the top of the mesh cover. One end of the circular double main rib is connected to the motor. The top of the main rib is pressed with a rectangular pad and locked to the motor housing with bolts. However, the contact area between the circular double main rib, the rectangular pad and the motor housing is small and the weld is relatively narrow, which easily causes stress concentration. This results in insufficient strength of the wind turbine system. During vibration table testing, this connection is prone to breakage and failure. Utility Model Content

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-2As is the existing technology, the inverted axial flow fan system includes a screen 1, a motor 2, an impeller 12, and a guide ring 3. A bracket 4 is installed on the screen 1. The bracket 4 is circular. One end of the bracket 4 is welded to the housing of the motor 2, and the other end is connected to the guide ring 3. A rectangular gasket 5 is provided at the connection end between the bracket 4 and the motor 2. The rectangular gasket 5 has a threaded hole 6 reserved so that one end of the circular bracket 4 can be fastened to the housing of the motor 2 by bolts. However, by welding the circular bracket 4 and the housing of the motor 2, the contact area between the two is small and the weld is relatively narrow, which is prone to stress concentration. During the vibration table test, the fan system is prone to breakage at the weld due to insufficient strength.

[0030] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment of the present invention, an inverted axial flow fan with a highly reliable support mounting structure includes a mesh cover 1, a motor 2, and a guide ring 3. The mesh cover 1 is mounted on the guide ring 3, the motor 2 is mounted on the mesh cover 1, the motor shaft of the motor 2 is located inside the guide ring 3, and the impeller 12 is mounted on the motor shaft of the motor 2. A support part is mounted on the mesh cover 1. One end of the support part is connected to the motor 2, and the other end of the support part is connected to the guide ring 3. The motor 2 is fixed by one end of the support part, which bears the weight of the motor 2 and the impeller 12, and the other end is connected to the guide ring 3. The support part ensures the reliability of the inverted axial flow fan system.

[0031] Specifically, please refer to Figures 4-7 The support includes two main ribs 8, with a foot plate 7 welded to one end of each main rib 8. The main ribs 8 are flat steel, which increases the contact area between the main ribs 8 and the foot plate 7 to ensure the reliability of their connection. The foot plate 7 is connected to the motor 2, and a connection hole 9 is reserved on the foot plate 7 to facilitate the installation of the motor 2, so as to further fasten the foot plate 7 and the housing of the motor 2 with bolts. In addition, a connecting part 11 is connected to the other end of the main rib 8. A second connecting hole 10 is symmetrically opened on the connecting part 11. The second connecting hole 10 is located on the outside of the two main ribs 8, so as to fasten the other end of the main rib 8 to the air duct 3 with bolts.

[0032] Furthermore, please refer to Figures 8-9The support plate 7 is an L-shaped plate, welded to the two main reinforcing bars 8. The support plate 7 includes a T-shaped part 19 and a square base plate 21. The T-shaped part 19 has symmetrical slots 20, through which one end of the main reinforcing bar 8 passes. The bottom of the main reinforcing bar 8 has a notch 22, and the square base plate 21 is located within the notch 22. The slots 20 and the notch 22 restrict the position between the support plate 7 and the two main reinforcing bars 8, facilitating the fixing of their positions before welding and ensuring accurate welding. Specifically, the T-shaped part 19 is located between the two main reinforcing bars 8, and the bottom of the square base plate 21 forms a shape between the main reinforcing bars 8 and the base plate 21. Two bottom welds 13 are formed, two top welds 14 are formed between the top of the square base plate 21 and the main rib 8, and another two top welds 14 are formed between the slot 20 and the main rib 8. The main rib 8 is set as a flat steel, and the foot plate 7 is set as an L-shape. At this time, when the support part and the motor 2 housing are connected, there are a total of six connection positions between the foot plate 7 and the main rib 8. All six connection positions are connected by welding. At the same time, the contact area at the connection point increases and the number of welds increases, further ensuring the reliability of the welding and avoiding the phenomenon of breakage at the connection point.

[0033] In addition, please see Figures 10-11 To further ensure the reliability of the connection between the foot plate 7 and the motor 2, multiple extension plates 16 are installed on the body of the motor 2. The extension plates 16 are evenly installed in a circumferential direction, and limit grooves 17 are opened on the extension plates 16. The square base plate 21 is located in the limit groove 17, and through holes 23 are opened on the limit groove 17. The through holes 23 and the connecting hole 9 are coaxial. The square base plate 21 and the extension plates 16 are connected by bolts, that is, the connection between the foot plate 7 and the motor 2 is achieved by bolts. In order to further strengthen the strength of the connection, two reinforcing ribs 15 are installed at the top of the extension plate 16. The two reinforcing ribs 15 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the limit groove 17. In addition, a load-bearing block 18 is installed at the bottom of the extension plate 16. The through holes 23 penetrate the load-bearing block 18, and the bolts used to connect the square base plate 21 and the extension plate 16 also pass through the load-bearing block 18. At this time, the strength of the connection between the foot plate 7 and the motor 2 is high and it is not easy to break.

[0034] As a preferred option, assuming the thickness of the support plate 7 is W mm, and the total weight of the motor 2 + impeller 12 + mesh cover 1 is M kg, then W / M≥0.16 and W / M≤0.26.

[0035] According to the experiment,

[0036] Maximum stress at the connection Percentage reduction in vibration value Original fan system 110MPa / This application's fan system 51MPa 53.6%

[0037] Therefore, the inverted axial flow fan system of this utility model increases the contact area between the support plate 7 and the main rib 8, i.e., increases the number of welds, and improves the support performance of the support part, so that it can stably bear the weight of the motor 2 and the impeller 12, further improving the stability of the fan system. The fan system of this utility model has strong vibration resistance and better reliability; and it is suitable for the field of rotating machinery, especially for outdoor unit fan systems containing air heat exchange devices such as heat pumps or air conditioners.
