Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of single-stage centrifugal fan technology, and in particular to a reference positioning tool for the outlet guide vane of a single-stage centrifugal fan. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, the outlet guide vanes of a single-stage centrifugal fan typically consist of 11 circumferentially distributed blades. To ensure consistent and repeatable fan performance, these blades must be positioned at a uniform reference point during installation. To guarantee the accuracy of this reference positioning, a template is usually used to locate the blades. This involves machining holes on the template that match the shape and arrangement of the 11 blades, and then fitting each blade into the corresponding hole on the template for positioning. However, due to accumulated machining errors, the blade holes on the template must be much larger than the blades to ensure that all blades fit into the holes. This positioning method is not only inaccurate but also not universally applicable, making it particularly inconvenient for field maintenance and large-scale products due to their size and weight. Summary of the Invention

[0044] Reference Figures 1A to 2B As shown, this utility model discloses a reference positioning fixture for the outlet guide vane of a single-stage centrifugal fan. The single-stage centrifugal fan includes a diffuser seat 0 and multiple blades circumferentially distributed on the diffuser seat 0. One of the blades is a main blade 001. The main blade 001 includes a positioning section profile 002. An arc-shaped step 03 with a first arc 01 is provided at the outer peripheral end of the diffuser seat 0. A first alignment line 00 is provided at the outer end of the arc-shaped step 03.
[0045] The reference positioning fixture includes:
[0046] The positioning seat 1 has a bottom end face that can be supported on the arc-shaped step 03 and a second alignment line 10 that is suitable for aligning with the first alignment line 00 is provided along the middle. A second arc 11 that is suitable for closely abutting the first arc 01 is provided on one side end face of the positioning seat 1. A guide groove 15 is provided on the upper end face of the positioning seat 1.
[0047] The positioning block 2 includes a guide part 21 that is movably engaged with the guide groove 15 and a positioning part 24 connected to the guide part 21. The positioning part 24 is provided with a profile surface 22 that is suitable for closely adhering to the positioning section profile 002.
[0048] A clamping member 6 is disposed between the guide portion 21 and the bottom wall of the guide groove 15 to clamp the guide portion 21 onto the positioning seat 1 when the guide portion 21 moves to a predetermined position in the guide groove 15.
[0049] The support plate 3 is connected to the other end face of the positioning seat 1;
[0050] The support member 5 is disposed on the support plate 3 and abuts against the side end of the guide portion 21.
[0051] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1C , Figure 2A , Figure 3A As shown, the upper end face of the positioning seat 1 is provided with a first through hole 12 on both sides of the guide groove 15, and the upper end face of the arc-shaped step 03 is provided with a first screw hole 02 corresponding to the first through hole 12. A connecting screw 7 is fitted between the first through hole 12 and the first screw hole 02.
[0052] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1A As shown, the support member 5 includes a support screw, which is screwed into a threaded through hole in the middle of the outer end face of the support plate 3 and abuts against the side end face of the guide portion 21.
[0053] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1A , Figure 1C As shown, a second through hole is provided on the side end face of the support plate 3 at the position on both sides of the support member 5, and a second screw hole 13 is provided on the other side end face of the positioning seat 1 corresponding to the second through hole. A fastening screw 4 is provided between the second through hole and the second screw hole 13.
[0054] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1D , Figure 1E , Figure 1FAs shown, the guide portion 21 is provided with an oblong through hole 23, the upper end face of the positioning seat 1 is provided with a third screw hole 14, and the clamping member 6 includes a clamping screw connected between the oblong through hole 23 and the third screw hole 14. By using the oblong through hole 23 in conjunction with the clamping screw for adjustment, the positioning is made more stable.
[0055] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1A As shown, after the positioning seat 1 and the positioning block 2 are positioned and connected, a gap x is left between the end of the positioning part 24 near the guide part 21 and the positioning seat 1 to prevent it from jamming.
[0056] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1C , Figure 1E As shown, the width of the guide part 21 is n, and the width of the guide groove 15 is m, where m is slightly larger than n, so that the guide part 21 and the guide groove 15 can fit together with a small gap and form a sliding pair between them.
[0057] It should be noted that in the outlet guide vane system of a single-stage centrifugal fan, each blade has its own rotation axis (oscillation axis). Existing blade synchronization adjustment mechanisms can be used to synchronize these blades. That is, when the main blade 001 rotates through an angle, the other blades will also change by the same angle. One blade serves as the main blade 001, with a drive device installed at its shaft end; the remaining blades are auxiliary blades. Since the movement of all auxiliary blades is driven by the main blade 001 (and its connection to the synchronization mechanism), as long as the angle of the main blade 001 is fixed, the other auxiliary blades will also lock to the corresponding angle. An indicator is installed on the drive device to display the current angle. When the main blade 001 is at a certain reference position, the indicator shows zero, and the other auxiliary blades are also at zero. After removing the reference positioning fixture, in subsequent operations, as the drive device rotates, the indicator displays the corresponding rotation angle value. The blade synchronization adjustment mechanism can simultaneously drive the other auxiliary blades to rotate through the same angle, allowing all blades to be adjusted synchronously.
[0058] Reference Figure 3A , Figure 3B As shown, when using this utility model, the second arc 11 of the positioning seat 1 is pressed against the first arc 01 of the diffuser seat 0, and the second alignment line 10 of the bottom end face of the positioning seat 1 is aligned with the first alignment line 00 on the diffuser seat 0. The positioning seat 1 is fixed on the diffuser seat 0 by the connecting screw 7 (two first screw holes 02 are preset on the diffuser seat 0), so that the profile surface 22 of the positioning block 2 is close to the positioning section profile 002 on the main blade 001. The support member 5 (support screw) is turned to press against the positioning block 2 (do not use too much force to damage the blade). The clamping member 6 (clamping screw) is tightened to completely fix the positioning block 2.
[0059] Subsequently, install all blades and blade synchronization adjustment mechanisms, then install the diffuser seat 0 together with the blade synchronization adjustment mechanism on the gearbox. Connect the drive device to the main blade 001 and fix the drive device on the gearbox. Adjust the indicator position so that the blade reference is the same as the reference on the indicator. At this time, the blade reference positioning installation is completed, and the reference positioning fixture is removed.
[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to examples, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
