Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ventilation and air exchange technology, specifically relating to a high-efficiency mixed-flow fan. Background Technology
[0002] Existing market models of older mixed-flow fans (such as...) Figure 1 To save on mold costs, the impeller shroud and rear guide cone are designed as flat plates. This cost-saving design causes the airflow to be blocked by the flat impeller shroud when entering the impeller, resulting in interference and energy loss with the incoming airflow. When passing through the rear guide cone, the abrupt change in the airflow wall causes the airflow to detach from the airflow wall, generating turbulence and energy loss, thus reducing the efficiency of the fan.

[0032] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, it will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this utility model; the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0034] See Figures 2-4This embodiment discloses a high-efficiency mixed-flow fan, including a casing assembly 1, an impeller 4, and a drive mechanism 3 for driving the impeller 4 to rotate. The inner cavity of the casing assembly 1 is provided with an inner shell 7 for accommodating the drive mechanism 3, and the drive mechanism 3 is disposed within the inner shell 7. The impeller 4 is located within the inner cavity of the casing assembly 1 and is connected to the power output component of the drive mechanism 3. A first guide shroud 5 is provided at the end of the impeller 4 away from the drive mechanism 3. The first guide shroud 5 has an arc-shaped cross-section in the axial direction and protrudes towards the air inlet end. A second guide shroud 6 is provided at the end of the inner shell 7 away from the impeller 4. Along the airflow direction, the tail of the second guide shroud 6 has an arc-shaped cross-section in the axial direction and protrudes towards the air outlet end.
[0035] Furthermore, the first guide shield 5 in this embodiment is spherical in shape. The spherical shape of the first guide shield 5 makes its overall shape more uniform and its outline smoother, which is more conducive to a more stable and balanced airflow entering the housing assembly 1, preventing airflow loss due to backflow. Moreover, the first guide shield 5 and the impeller 4 in this embodiment are detachably connected. The structure of the impeller 4 in this embodiment can refer to the prior art, and the shape and number of the blades 401 of the impeller 4 can be flexibly adjusted. Generally, the impeller 4 includes a ring 402 and multiple blades 401 disposed on the circumferential surface of the ring 402. The ring 402 has a connecting part that connects to the power output component of the drive mechanism 3, allowing the impeller 4 to rotate under the drive of the drive mechanism 3. The detachable connection structure between the first guide shield 5 and the impeller 4 can adopt threaded connection, snap-fit connection, or bolt connection, etc.
[0036] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 The tail of the second deflector 6 is spherical. The spherical shape of the second deflector 6 makes its overall shape more uniform and its outline smoother, which is more conducive to the smooth and even flow of air within the casing assembly 1, and avoids turbulence at the end.
[0037] To further enhance the airflow guiding effect of the second airflow guide 6, this embodiment designs the second airflow guide 6 as a first airflow guide 601 and a second airflow guide 602. The first airflow guide 601 is connected to the inner shell 7, and the second airflow guide 602 is connected to the end of the first airflow guide 601 away from the inner shell 7. The second airflow guide 602 forms the tail of the second airflow guide 6, that is, the second airflow guide 602 is spherical; the first airflow guide 601 is conical. In this embodiment, the first airflow guide 601 and the second airflow guide 602 in the second airflow guide 6 adopt an integrated structure, forming a conical arc-shaped airflow guide, allowing the airflow to pass through smoothly and evenly, and enabling more efficient airflow output. Of course, the first airflow guide 601 and the second airflow guide 602 in this embodiment can also adopt an assembled structure, which can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0038] In this embodiment, the inner shell 7 is cylindrical; the inner shell 7 and the second flow guide 6 combine to form a receiving cavity; the driving mechanism 3 is located in the receiving cavity. The second flow guide 6 and the inner shell 7 can be fixedly connected or detachably connected.
[0039] Furthermore, the drive mechanism 3 is provided with a connecting plate, which is detachably connected to the end of the inner shell 7 near the impeller 4; the power output component of the drive mechanism 3 passes through the connecting plate and connects to the impeller 4. In this embodiment, the connecting plate and the inner shell 7 can be detachably connected by bolts, screws, or other means. The connecting plate, the inner shell 7, and the second guide shroud 6 combine to form a relatively closed cavity, in which the main body of the drive mechanism 3 is located. This protects the drive mechanism 3 and prevents it from affecting the airflow.
[0040] In this embodiment, a plurality of guide vanes 2 are provided between the outer wall of the inner shell 7 and the inner wall of the housing assembly 1, and each guide vane 2 is evenly distributed along the circumferential direction. The shape and number of the guide vanes 2 in this embodiment can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation, and specific details can also be found in the prior art.
[0041] The housing assembly 1 in this embodiment includes a main housing 101 and a front air duct 102; the drive mechanism 3, the inner housing 7 and the second air guide 6 are all located inside the main housing 101, and the impeller 4 and the first air guide 5 are located inside the front air duct 102.
[0042] The drive mechanism 3 in this embodiment can be a motor or other drive source, as can be found in the prior art.
[0043] For other specific embodiments of the high-efficiency mixed-flow fan in this example, please refer to the mixed-flow fans in the prior art.
[0044] In this embodiment, the high-efficiency mixed-flow fan is driven by the drive mechanism 3 to rotate the impeller 4. The airflow enters through the front air duct 102, and enters the flow channel of the impeller 4 in a gradual and progressive manner along the inner wall of the front air duct 102 and the outer wall of the first guide shroud 5 and the space between them. It then flows forward along the flow channel of the guide vanes 2 welded to the housing assembly 1, and then enters the outer wall of the second guide shroud 6, the inner wall of the housing assembly 1 and the space between them. The airflow flows out from the end of the housing assembly 1 in a manner that the airflow cross-section gradually expands.
[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
