Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air volume regulating device for heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Background Technology

[0002] In HVAC systems, air volume control devices are key equipment for maintaining indoor environmental comfort and ensuring system energy efficiency. They achieve precise control of supply and return air volume by changing the size of the air duct cross-section and are widely used in various building scenarios such as commercial buildings, industrial plants, and medical facilities. With increasing demands for indoor environmental quality and a deeper understanding of energy conservation, higher requirements are being placed on the adjustment accuracy, response speed, and operational stability of air volume control devices, driving continuous technological iteration and upgrades.

[0003] In existing technologies, airflow regulating devices mostly employ manual adjustment or simple electric drive structures. Manual adjustment devices typically use a handle to drive a linkage mechanism to open or close single or multiple blades. Their mechanical principle is based on lever transmission, relying on manual operation to change the blade angle to adjust the airflow. Electric adjustment devices mostly use a motor to directly drive the blade shaft to rotate, or use a gear set to drive a single blade to rotate. Some devices use a synchronous belt to connect multiple sets of blades to achieve linkage. The core of these structures is to adjust the effective ventilation area of ​​the air duct by changing the angle between the blades and the airflow direction, thereby achieving the purpose of airflow regulation.

[0004] However, existing airflow regulating devices generally suffer from low regulation accuracy and slow response. For example, manual regulation relies on manual operation, making it difficult to achieve continuous and precise airflow control; some electric regulating devices, due to their simple transmission structure design, are prone to poor synchronization when multiple blades are linked, resulting in uneven adjustment of the ventilation cross section. Furthermore, the presence of gaps in the transmission link between the motor and the blades makes the airflow regulation response speed slow and unable to quickly adapt to dynamic changes in system load. Therefore, an airflow regulating device for HVAC systems is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0036] The adjustment assembly includes a fixed frame 9 and multiple adjustment plates 10. The side wall of the fixed frame 9 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed sleeve 4. The fixed frame 9 is used to install the adjustment plates 10 and to support and limit the adjustment plates 10. The side walls of the multiple adjustment plates 10 are rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed frame 9. The adjustment plates 10 are used to change the size of the ventilation cross section to achieve the effect of air volume adjustment. A rotating disk 5 is rotatably connected inside the fixed sleeve 4. A gear ring 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating disk 5. A motor 7 is fixedly connected inside the housing 1. The motor 7 is the drive source and is used to provide power to drive the operation of the adjustment assembly. A gear 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 7. The gear 8 meshes with the gear ring 6. A connecting strip 11 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the rotating disk 5. The connecting strip 11 works in conjunction with the rotating disk 5 and the adjustment plates 10 to achieve the effect of driving the adjustment plates 10 to rotate synchronously. One end of the connecting strip 11 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the adjustment plate 10. The multiple adjustment plates 10, the connecting strip 11, the rotating disk 5 and other components are combined to achieve the synchronous opening and closing of the multiple adjustment plates 10, thereby accurately adjusting the size of the ventilation cross section.

[0037] Reference Figures 4-6The fixing components include clamp 14 and clamp 2 15. Clamp 14 and clamp 2 15 fasten the interface between the housing 1 and the duct 2. The side wall of clamp 14 is rotatably connected to the side wall of clamp 2 15. Clamp 14 and clamp 2 15 cooperate in opening and closing movements, achieving convenient fastening at the interface between the housing 1 and the duct 2. The inner walls of clamp 14 and clamp 2 15 are slidably connected to the interface between the housing 1 and the duct 2. A plug 16 is fixedly connected to the side wall of clamp 14, and the side wall of clamp 2 15 is fixed... A sleeve 17 is connected, and the sleeve 17 engages with the insert block 16 to achieve a pre-fixing effect on clamp one 14 and clamp two 15. The side wall of the insert block 16 is slidably connected to the inside of the sleeve 17, and a fixing shell 18 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sleeve 17. A fixing rod 19 is slidably connected inside the fixing shell 18, and the side wall of the fixing rod 19 is slidably connected to the inside of the insert block 16. One end of the fixing rod 19 is rotatably connected to a rotating handle 20, which is used to drive the fixing rod 19 to move, achieving convenient operation of the fixing rod. The effect of the fixed rod 19 is that a connecting ring 21 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed rod 19, and the side wall of the connecting ring 21 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixed shell 18. A spring 22 is sleeved on the side wall of the fixed rod 19. The spring 22 cooperates with the connecting ring 21 to perform telescopic movement, so that the fixed rod 19 is always kept in a locked state. One end of the spring 22 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting ring 21, and the other end of the spring 22 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed shell 18. A positioning block 12 is fixedly connected to the interface end of the shell 1. The positioning block 12 is used to align with the groove of the interface end of the air duct 2 to achieve the effect of precise docking between the shell 1 and the air duct 2. The side wall of the positioning block 12 is slidably connected to the interface end of the air duct 2. A sealing ring 13 is provided at the interface end of the shell 1. The sealing ring 13 is made of rubber and its function is to seal the interface between the shell 1 and the air duct 2. The side wall of the sealing ring 13 is slidably connected to the inside of the interface end of the air duct 2. The combination of components such as clamp 14, clamp 2, positioning block 12, and sealing ring 13 achieves the effect of quick and precise docking and firm sealing between the shell 1 and the air duct 2.

[0038] Working principle: When airflow needs to be adjusted, the motor 7 inside the housing 1 starts, driving the gear 8 to rotate. Since the gear 8 meshes with the gear ring 6 on the side wall of the rotating disk 5, the rotation of the gear 8 will drive the rotating disk 5 to rotate synchronously inside the fixed sleeve 4. When the rotating disk 5 rotates, the connecting strip 11 moves accordingly. The other end of the connecting strip 11 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the adjusting plate 10, thus driving the adjusting plate 10 to rotate around its own rotation axis inside the fixed frame 9. Multiple sets of adjusting plates 10 open and close synchronously through the above-mentioned linkage structure. When the adjusting plates 10 are parallel to each other and in the same direction as the airflow, the ventilation cross section is at its maximum and the airflow reaches its maximum. When the adjusting plates 10 rotate to cross each other or are perpendicular to the airflow, the ventilation cross section decreases and the airflow decreases accordingly. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation and speed of the motor 7, stepless adjustment of the airflow can be achieved.

[0039] When connecting the housing 1 to the duct 2, first align the positioning block 12 at the interface end of the housing 1 with the corresponding slot at the interface end of the duct 2, so that the side wall of the positioning block 12 slides into the interface end of the duct 2, thereby achieving precise positioning of the housing 1 and the duct 2 and avoiding misalignment. At the same time, the sealing ring 13 at the interface end of the housing 1 is embedded inside the interface end of the duct 2 to initially form a seal. After positioning, fasten clamp one 14 and clamp two 15 to the outside of the interface between the housing 1 and the duct 2, so that the inner walls of both are in close contact with the interface. At this time, the insert block 16 on the side wall of clamp one 14 slides into the insert sleeve 17 on the side wall of clamp two 15 to achieve pre-fixation of the clamp.

[0040] Next, push the fixing rod 19 inside the fixed housing 18 so that one end passes through the insert sleeve 17 and slides into the insert block 16, completing the locking of the clamp. The connecting ring 21 on the side wall of the fixing rod 19 will compress the spring 22. The rebound force of the spring 22 acts on the fixing rod 19 through the connecting ring 21, keeping it in a locked state and preventing loosening. If disassembly is required, pull the fixing rod 19 by rotating the handle 20, compressing the spring 22 and disengaging the fixing rod 19 from the insert block 16, thus opening the clamp. The sealing ring 13 is compressed under the locking force of the clamp, tightly fitting the interface surface between the housing 1 and the air duct 2. Combined with the guiding action of the positioning block 12, it effectively prevents airflow leakage.
