Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas transportation technology, and more specifically, to an air pipeline flow equalization and speed regulation device. Background Technology
[0002] Centrifugal blowers are key equipment in wastewater treatment plants for maintaining the stable operation of biological treatment systems. In actual operation, blowers face the following technical challenges: first, operational instability due to complex operating conditions; and second, the significant impact of environmental factors (such as temperature and humidity) and process loads (such as seasonal water quality fluctuations) on the air intake conditions of wastewater treatment plants, including changes in media properties and airflow disturbances. High temperatures in summer reduce air density, while low temperatures in winter may cause condensate to enter the airflow. Impurities or non-uniform flow in the intake air can alter the rotational intensity and incident angle of the airflow, causing the impeller inlet flow field to deviate from the design conditions. These changes can easily lead to blower surge, vortexing, and other unstable phenomena, and in severe cases, cause resonance in the casing or rotor, threatening equipment safety.
[0003] Furthermore, different operating conditions require different airflow rates and pressures. Currently, wastewater treatment plants generally use fixed-parameter impeller designs. Although variable frequency speed control can partially alleviate the flow and pressure regulation problem, the adjustment of flow and pressure still depends on the adjustment of impeller geometry parameters. At present, the airflow rate and pressure are changed by shutting down and replacing different models of impellers, but storing multiple different models of impellers leads to high equipment costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the issue of high equipment costs in existing technologies where different impeller models need to be replaced when process requirements are adjusted, this invention provides an air duct flow equalization and speed regulation device that can meet different process requirements and reduce equipment costs.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An air duct flow equalization and speed regulation device includes a housing, a rotary drive assembly, and an impeller located at the air outlet of the housing and rotatably connected to the housing. The power output end of the rotary drive assembly is connected to the impeller. The impeller includes a turntable, multiple blades, and multiple locking structures. The blades are evenly distributed along the outer circumference of the turntable and are all detachably connected to the turntable through the locking structures.
[0007] The locking structure can be a detachable fastener such as a screw, or a snap-fit connection structure.
[0008] In the above technical solution, when the process requirements are adjusted, some or all of the blades can be removed. After rotating the removed blades by a certain angle, the blades can be locked using the locking structure, thereby achieving the adjustment of the blade installation angle. By adjusting the angles of some of the blades, the non-uniform flow of the air flow can be disrupted to achieve the purpose of uniform flow. At the same time, by finely adjusting the angles of some or all of the blades, the axial velocity of the air flow can be changed, thereby reducing or increasing the air flow rate and pressure. Different numbers of adjusted blades and adjustment angles will result in different final adjustment effects, which specifically need to be determined according to the actual working conditions. That is to say, the above technical solution can achieve the purpose of air flow adjustment without replacing the entire impeller, which can reduce the equipment investment cost.
[0009] Preferably, a plurality of positioning grooves are provided on the turntable, and a plug pin is connected to one end of each blade close to the turntable, and the plug pins are inserted into the positioning grooves one by one. In this solution, after inserting the plug pins into the positioning grooves one by one and then locking the blades, it is possible to prevent the blades from shaking during the locking operation, which may affect the locking operation.
[0010] Preferably, a plurality of anti-rotation protrusions are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the plug pin, and a plurality of anti-rotation card slots are provided on the inner wall of the positioning groove, and the anti-rotation protrusions are engaged with the anti-rotation card slots one by one. During the actual installation process, it is only necessary to deflect the blade by a certain angle and insert it into the positioning groove, so that the anti-rotation protrusion is engaged with the anti-rotation card slot. The cooperation of the anti-rotation protrusion and the anti-rotation card slot can ensure that the deflection angle of the blade will not change during the rotation process.
[0011] Preferably, the anti-rotation protrusion extends along the axial direction of the plug pin, the anti-rotation card slot extends along the axial direction of the positioning groove, and the anti-rotation protrusion can slide linearly along the positioning groove. Such a structure can make the insertion or extraction of the plug pin into or from the positioning groove smoother and more labor-saving.
[0012] Preferably, a first flange ring is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the plug pin, and a plurality of threaded through holes are provided on the first flange ring; a second flange ring is connected to the outer circumferential surface of the turntable, the second flange ring is in contact with the first flange ring, and a plurality of threaded blind holes corresponding to the threaded through holes one by one are provided on the second flange ring; the locking structure includes a plurality of screws, and the screws are threadedly connected to the corresponding threaded through holes and the threaded blind holes. The first flange ring is fixed to the second flange ring by the screws, thereby realizing the connection between the blade and the turntable. The pre-tightening force of the screws can provide a uniform clamping force to resist the centrifugal load during the high-speed rotation of the impeller and prevent the blade from loosening.
[0013] Furthermore, the device also includes a connector, through which the pin and the positioning groove are connected, with the connector located within the positioning groove. The pin is maintained connected to the positioning groove via the connector, thus preventing the blade from falling off and affecting operational efficiency when adjusting the blade rotation angle.
[0014] Furthermore, the connector is an elastic element, capable of extending and retracting along the axial direction of the positioning groove. In its initial state, the connector applies a pulling force to the pin, and the connector is rotatably connected to the positioning groove or the pin about the axis of the positioning groove. It is understood that the connector does not rotate with the blade when the blade rotates. After releasing the locking mechanism, simply pull out the pin, rotate the blade, determine the rotation angle, and release. The pulling force of the connector on the pin quickly pulls the pin into the positioning groove, significantly reducing installation time.
[0015] Preferably, the pin has a receiving groove, and the end of the connector away from the turntable is located within the receiving groove. Providing a receiving groove helps to shorten the axial length of the positioning groove, thereby making the entire impeller structure more compact.
[0016] Preferably, the connector is a spring structure. Compared to elastic material components, spring structures have better elastic deformation capabilities, are more wear-resistant, and have a longer service life and higher reliability.
[0017] Preferably, the outlet end of the housing is provided with a duct connector, and the side of the duct connector away from the housing is provided with a pipe positioning groove. The end of the air duct can be inserted into the pipe positioning groove to form a preliminary connection with the device, so as to facilitate further connection processing between the air duct and the device.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By setting the blades to have an adjustable installation angle, the non-uniform flow of air can be disrupted by adjusting the angle of some blades, thus achieving the purpose of flow uniformity. Simultaneously, by fine-tuning the angle of some or all blades, the axial velocity of the airflow can be changed, thereby reducing or increasing the airflow rate and pressure. When dealing with different operating conditions, it is not necessary to replace the entire impeller; only the angle of some or all blades needs to be adjusted to meet the requirements of flow uniformity and deceleration in the air duct, thereby reducing equipment investment costs.

[0026] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0027] Example 1
[0028] This embodiment is a first embodiment of an air duct flow equalization and speed regulation device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a housing 1, a rotary drive assembly 2, and an impeller located at the air outlet of the housing 1 and rotatably connected to the housing 1. The power output end of the rotary drive assembly 2 is connected to the impeller. The impeller includes a turntable 3, multiple blades 4, and multiple locking structures 5. The blades 4 are evenly distributed along the outer circumferential surface of the turntable 3 and are all detachably connected to the turntable 3 through the locking structures 5.
[0029] The preferred number of blades 4 is 6, 8 or 12, and in this embodiment, the blades are provided with 6.
[0030] Specifically, the housing 1 has a bracket (not shown in the figure) inside; the rotary drive assembly 2 includes a motor (not shown in the figure) and a rotating shaft. The motor is fixed inside the housing 1 by the bracket. One end of the rotating shaft is connected to the power output end of the motor, and the other end of the rotating shaft is coaxially fixedly connected to the turntable 3.
[0031] The working principle or workflow of this embodiment is as follows: When process requirements are adjusted, some or all of the blades 4 can be removed. The removed blades 4 are rotated at a certain angle and then locked in place using the locking structure 5, thus adjusting the installation angle of the blades 4. By adjusting the angle of some of the blades 4, non-uniform airflow can be disrupted, achieving uniform flow. Simultaneously, by fine-tuning the angle of some or all of the blades 4, the axial velocity of the airflow can be changed, thereby reducing or increasing the airflow rate and pressure. Different numbers and angles of blade 4 adjustment result in different adjustment effects, which must be determined based on the actual operating conditions. In other words, the above technical solution achieves airflow adjustment without replacing the entire impeller, reducing equipment investment costs.
[0032] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: By setting the blades to have an adjustable installation angle, the non-uniform flow of air can be disrupted and flow uniformity achieved by adjusting the angle of some or all of the blades. Simultaneously, by fine-tuning the angle of some or all of the blades, the axial velocity of the airflow can be changed, thereby reducing or increasing the airflow rate and pressure. When dealing with different operating conditions, it is not necessary to replace the entire impeller; only the angle of some or all of the blades needs to be adjusted to meet the flow uniformity and deceleration requirements of the air duct, thus reducing equipment investment costs.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] This embodiment is a second embodiment of an air duct flow equalization and speed regulation device. This embodiment is similar to embodiment 1, except that it combines... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the turntable 3 is provided with multiple positioning slots 301, and each blade 4 has a pin 6 connected to the end near the turntable 3. The pins 6 are inserted into the positioning slots 301 one by one. In this scheme, the blade 4 is locked after the pins 6 are inserted into the positioning slots 301 one by one, which can prevent the blade 4 from shaking during the locking process and affecting the locking operation.
[0035] Specifically, multiple connecting blocks 303 are detachably installed on the turntable 3, and positioning grooves 301 are provided on the connecting blocks 303.
[0036] Furthermore, the outer circumferential surface of the pin 6 is provided with multiple anti-rotation protrusions 7, and the inner wall of the positioning groove 301 is provided with multiple anti-rotation slots 302. The anti-rotation protrusions 7 are embedded into the anti-rotation slots 302 and engaged with them. The cooperation between the anti-rotation protrusions 7 and the anti-rotation slots 302 ensures that the deflection angle of the blade 4 will not change during rotation. In actual installation, it is only necessary to deflect the blade 4 at a certain angle and insert it into the positioning groove 301, so that the anti-rotation protrusions 7 are engaged with the anti-rotation slots 302.
[0037] Furthermore, the anti-rotation protrusion 7 extends along the axial direction of the pin 6, forming a strip-shaped anti-rotation protrusion structure. The anti-rotation groove 302 extends along the axial direction of the positioning groove 301, and the anti-rotation protrusion 7 can slide linearly along the positioning groove 301. This structure makes it easier and less strenuous for the pin 6 to be inserted into or removed from the positioning groove 301.
[0038] Furthermore, a first flange ring 8 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the pin 6, and the first flange ring 8 has four threaded through holes (not shown in the figure); a second flange ring 9 is connected to the outer circumferential surface of the turntable 3. Specifically, the second flange ring 9 is set on the connecting block 303, and the second flange ring 9 has four threaded blind holes 901 corresponding one-to-one with the threaded through holes. The first flange ring 8 and the second flange ring 9 fit together; the locking structure 5 includes multiple screws, which are threadedly connected to the corresponding threaded through holes and threaded blind holes 901. The first flange ring 8 is fixed to the second flange ring 9 by the screws, thereby realizing the connection between the blade 4 and the turntable 3. The screw preload provides a uniform clamping force to resist the centrifugal load when the impeller rotates at high speed and prevent the blade 4 from loosening.
[0039] Furthermore, the device also includes a connector 10, and the pin 6 and the positioning groove 301 are connected by the connector 10, which is located within the positioning groove 301. The pin 6 is connected to the positioning groove 301 via the connector 10, thus preventing the blade 4 from falling off and affecting operational efficiency when adjusting the rotation angle of the blade 4.
[0040] Furthermore, the connector 10 is an elastic element, capable of extending and retracting along the axis of the positioning groove 301. In its initial state, the connector 10 applies a pulling force to the pin 6, and the connector 10 and the pin 6 are rotatably connected about the axis of the positioning groove 301. It is understood that when the blade 4 rotates, the connector 10 will not rotate with it. After releasing the locking mechanism 5, simply pull out the pin 6, then rotate the blade 4, and release it after determining the rotation angle of the blade 4. The pulling force of the connector 10 on the pin 6 can quickly pull the pin 6 into the positioning groove 301, thus significantly reducing installation time.
[0041] Furthermore, the connector 10 is a spring structure. Compared to elastic material components, the spring structure has better elastic deformation capability, and is more wear-resistant, with a longer service life and higher reliability.
[0042] Furthermore, the pin 6 is provided with a receiving groove 601, and the end of the connector 10 away from the turntable 3 is located in the receiving groove 601. The receiving groove 601 helps to shorten the axial length of the positioning groove 301, thereby making the structure of the entire impeller more compact.

The end of the air duct can be inserted into the pipe slot 1101, thereby forming a preliminary connection with the device, so that the air duct can be further connected to the device.
