By adjusting the blade angle, the flow direction and speed of the fluid passing through the impeller can be changed, thereby optimizing energy conversion efficiency.

[0003] Among them, a search revealed that Chinese patent CN116950927A discloses a chain-type adjusting impeller for quickly adjusting the blade angle. In the application of the above-mentioned patent's technical solution, the blade angle adjustment relying solely on chain and sprocket transmission has a certain deviation, resulting in poor performance of the adjusting impeller. Therefore, in order to better realize the blade angle adjustment function, promote technological progress in the industry, and improve the core technology competitiveness, this application proposes a new implementation scheme that differs from the existing adjusting impeller transmission structure.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Reference Figures 1-6 A chain-type adjusting impeller for blade angle adjustment includes a lower housing 1, an opening on the upper surface of the lower housing 1, a connecting cylinder 11 integrally formed inside the opening, an upper housing 2 fixedly connected to the top of the lower housing 1 by bolts, and a plurality of rotating columns 3 sealingly rotatably connected between the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1.

[0030] The bottom of the inner wall of the lower housing 1 is provided with multiple support components 4. The support components 4 include a fixing plate 401. The fixing plate 401 is fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the lower housing 1 by bolts. The upper surface of the fixing plate 401 is fixed with a bearing seat 404 by bolts, and the rotating column 3 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 404 through a bearing.

[0031] One end of the rotating column 3 is keyed to a first worm gear 403, and the upper surface of the fixed plate 401 is rotatably connected to a first worm 402 via a bearing. The first worm 402 meshes with the first worm gear 403, and the top of the first worm 402 is inserted through and inserted into the upper part of the upper housing 2.

[0032] A chain drive assembly 5 is provided above the upper housing 2. The chain drive assembly 5 includes multiple connecting shafts 501. The multiple connecting shafts 501 are rotatably connected to the surface of the upper housing 2 through embedded bearings. The top ends of the multiple connecting shafts 501 and the top ends of the first worm gear 402 in the multiple support assemblies 4 are all fixedly sleeved with sprockets 502. The multiple sprockets 502 are connected by the same chain 503. The gap between the sprockets 502 and the chain 503 is less than 0.3mm. The tolerance grade is H7 / h6 fit.

[0033] The upper surface of the upper housing 2 is fixed with a support housing 7 by bolts, and a drive assembly 8 is provided above the support housing 7. The drive assembly 8 includes a mounting plate 801, which is fixed to the upper surface of the support housing 7 by bolts. A micro motor 804 is fixed to the upper surface of the mounting plate 801 by bolts, and a second worm gear 802 is welded to the output end of the micro motor 804.

[0034] In one of the support components 4, the top end of the first worm 402 is inserted through the top of the support shell 7 and is keyed to a second worm wheel 803. The second worm 802 meshes with one side of the second worm wheel 803, and the micro motor 804 drives the first worm 402 to rotate.

[0035] The design combining two sets of worm gears and worms ensures that the rotating column 3 in the adjusting impeller will not rotate arbitrarily after two-stage transmission. The design combining two sets of worm gears and worms can double lock the rotating column 3 and its blades, ensuring the fixed effect of the blade angle adjustment on the adjusting impeller.

[0036] The upper surface of the support shell 7 is fixed with a wireless control module 9 by bolts. The wireless control module 9 contains a main control chip of model STM32F103C8T6, a 2.4G radio frequency wireless module of model NRF24L01, and a motor drive chip of model TB6612.

[0037] This allows operators to connect the wireless control module 9 to an external terminal device via the 2.4G radio frequency wireless module. The external terminal device can send commands, which are received via the 2.4G radio frequency wireless module. After the main control chip parses the commands, it can drive the micro motor 804 to adjust the angle of the rotating column 3 in the adjusting impeller.

[0038] Among them, the micro motor 804 can be a micro geared motor of model DS-16RP050 with a self-locking function, or other models of motors with self-locking function can be selected to ensure the adaptability of power and function. The battery 10 is attached to the upper surface of the support shell 7. The battery 10 is electrically connected to the wireless control module 9 and the micro motor 804 through the RS485 / TTL interface, and the wireless control module 9 is electrically connected to the micro motor 804.

[0039] The top of the support shell 7 is fixed with a top cover 12 by bolts, which covers the battery 10, the wireless control module 9 and the micro motor 804.

[0040] The bottom of the lower housing 1 is fixed with a bottom cover 13 by bolts. The design of the top cover 12 and the bottom cover 13 can seal and protect the various structures in the regulating impeller, preventing fluid from entering the inside of the regulating impeller during use, thus enhancing the practicality of the regulating impeller.

[0041] The lower housing 1, upper housing 2, support housing 7, top cover 12, and bottom cover 13 can be made of corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel, and the multiple housings are sealed and connected by nitrile rubber rings. The multiple worms, worm wheels, and gears are all made of alloy steel, such as carburized steel or surface-hardened steel, and all adopt the tolerance fit of H7 / h6.

[0042] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, the operator first assembles the adjusting impeller on the axial flow machine. The blades are fixedly connected to one end of the rotating column 3 by bolts. Then, the connecting cylinder 11 is keyed to the rotating shaft of the motor of the axial flow machine. In this way, the assembly of the adjusting impeller is completed.

[0043] When using axial flow machinery, the operator transmits signals to the wireless control module 9 via an external terminal device. Upon receiving the signal, the wireless control module 9 controls the micro motor 804 to start and stop. In the drive assembly 8, when the micro motor 804 starts, the second worm 802 and the second worm wheel 803 work together to drive the first worm 402 of one of the support assemblies 4 to rotate. In the chain transmission assembly 5, the sprocket 502 and the chain 503 work together to make the first worm 402 in multiple support assemblies 4 rotate simultaneously. When the first worm 402 rotates, it drives the first worm wheel 403 and its rotating column 3 to rotate. The blades on the rotating column 3 rotate accordingly. In this way, the angle of the blades in the axial flow machinery is adjusted, which can change the flow direction and speed of the fluid when passing through the adjusting impeller, thereby optimizing the energy conversion efficiency.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] refer to Figure 7-8 The bottom of the lower housing 1 is provided with a gear transmission assembly 6, which includes a drive gear 601. The drive gear 601 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the connecting cylinder 11 through a bearing. The bottom ends of the first worm gear 402 in the multiple support assemblies 4 respectively protrude from the bottom of the lower housing 1 and are fixedly sleeved with driven gears 602. The multiple driven gears 602 are all meshed with the drive gear 601.

[0046] The first worm gear 402 in the multiple support components 4 can rotate simultaneously. Under the action of the gear transmission component 6, the driving gear 601 and the driven gears 602 on the multiple first worm gears 402 rotate simultaneously. The chain transmission component 5 and the gear transmission component 6 cooperate to ensure the consistency of the simultaneous rotation of the multiple rotating columns 3 in the regulating impeller.

[0047] A Type-C charging port is installed on the outer wall of the top cover 12. The Type-C charging port is connected to the battery 10. A waterproof plug is then filled into the Type-C charging port. At this time, when the battery 10 is out of power, the operator can charge the battery 10 through the Type-C charging port.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
