Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to a fan assembly and an air handling system. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, many different types of air handling systems have appeared on the market. Some air handling systems have a fan assembly consisting of a housing and a fan component. The fan component is detachably installed inside the housing. However, the fan component is difficult to disassemble. The side panels and air outlet panels of the housing are detachably installed on the frame, and the air guide plate is located inside the housing. Its four corners are fixed to the frame, making disassembly cumbersome. Moreover, the connection between the air guide plate and the frame is blocked by the air outlet panel of the housing, which means that the side panels and air outlet panels must be removed first, and then the air guide plate must be removed before the fan component can be disassembled. This makes it inconvenient to disassemble and maintain the fan component. Utility Model Content

[0033] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0034] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the fan assembly and air handling system of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments and implementations can be combined with each other.

[0035] Figure 1 The diagram shown is a perspective view of one embodiment of the fan assembly 10. Figure 2 As shown Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the fan assembly 10 from another direction. Figure 3 As shown Figure 1 A partial exploded view of the fan assembly 10 shown. Figure 4 As shown Figure 2 A partial exploded view of the wind turbine assembly 10 shown. See also... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a fan assembly 10, which includes a fan component 11 and a housing 12. The fan component 11 includes a fan 13. The fan component 11 is detachably installed within the housing 12.

[0036] The housing 12 includes an air outlet 14 and a side panel component 15 detachably connected to the air outlet 14. The air outlet 14 has an air outlet 16, and a fan 13 is positioned facing the air outlet 16, allowing air generated by the fan 13 to be discharged outside the housing 12 through the air outlet 16. The fan 13 can be positioned directly opposite the air outlet 16. The side panel component 15 includes a side panel 17 and a guide plate 18. The side panel 17 is detachably connected to the air outlet 14 by screws. One end of the guide plate 18 is connected to the inner surface of the side panel 17, and the other end extends outward. Thus, the guide plate 18 can be removed by disassembling the side panel 17, making disassembly simple. The fact that one end of the guide plate 18 is detachably connected to the inner surface of the side panel 17 by screws facilitates replacement of the guide plate 18. The other end of the guide plate 18 can extend outward in an arc shape for better airflow guidance. When the side panel component 15 is connected to the air outlet plate 14, the other end of the air guide plate 18 abuts against the outer edge of the air outlet 16. The outer edge of the air outlet 16 refers to the position of the inner surface of the air outlet plate 14 near the edge of the air outlet.

[0037] The fan assembly 10 provided in this application has a housing 12 including an air outlet plate 14 and a side plate component 15 detachably connected to the air outlet plate 14. The side plate component 15 includes a side plate 17 and a guide plate 18. One end of the guide plate 18 is connected to the inner surface of the side plate 17, and the other end extends outward. Thus, the fan assembly 11 can be disassembled simply by removing the side plate component 15. The disassembly of the fan assembly 11 is simple and facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the fan assembly 11.

[0038] Figure 5 As shown Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the side plate component 15 of the fan assembly 10 shown. Figure 6 As shown Figure 1 A cross-sectional perspective view of the side plate component 15 of the fan assembly 10 shown. See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the other end of the air guide plate 18 is provided with a flange 19, which is perpendicular to the inner surface of the side plate 17. When the side plate component 15 is connected to the air outlet plate 14, the flange 19 at the other end of the air guide plate 18 abuts against the outer edge of the air outlet 16. In this way, the flange 19 can fit tightly against the inner surface of the air outlet plate 14, resulting in good air guiding effect. At the same time, it can also prevent the air guide plate 18 from deforming during the disassembly of the side plate component 15, thus improving the reliability of the air guide plate 18.

[0039] Figure 7 As shown Figure 3 A magnified view of a local area 10a. See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment, the housing 12 further includes an edge sealing member 20 disposed on the air outlet plate 14. The edge sealing member 20 extends circumferentially along the air outlet 16. A guide flange 21 is provided on the side of the edge sealing member 20 near the side plate component 15. The guide flange 21 extends obliquely outward from the edge of the edge sealing member 20 in a direction away from the inner surface of the air outlet plate 14, forming a receiving gap with the inner surface of the air outlet plate 14. When the side plate component 15 is connected to the air outlet plate 14, the other end of the air guide plate 18 abuts against the outer edge of the air outlet 16 and is confined within the receiving gap. Specifically, the flange 19 at the other end of the air guide plate 18 abuts against the outer edge of the air outlet 16 and is confined within the receiving gap. This allows the air guide plate 18 to be confined between the guide flange 21 and the inner surface of the air outlet plate 14, thus achieving the fixation of the air guide plate 18. Thus, during the assembly of the side panel component 15 onto the air outlet plate 14, it is only necessary to push the side panel 17 connected to the air guide plate 18 in until the flange 19 on the other side of the air guide plate 18 is limited to the receiving gap, and then connect the side panel 17 to the air outlet plate 14. The disassembly method is simple.

[0040] See also Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, there are two side panel components 15, which are detachably connected to opposite sides of the air outlet plate 14 along a first direction X. The first direction X can be the left-right direction of the fan assembly 10. At least one side panel component 15 has a side panel 17 including a first panel 22 and a second panel 23. Either one side panel component 15 may have a side panel 17 including a first panel 22 and a second panel 23, or both side panel components 15 may have a side panel 17 including a first panel 22 and a second panel 23. The first panel 22 and the second panel 23 are located on opposite sides of the fan assembly 11 along a second direction Y. The first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y. The second direction Y can be the front-rear direction of the fan assembly 10. The first panel 22 is located on the front side of the fan assembly 11, and the second panel 23 is located on the rear side of the fan assembly 11. The first panel 22 is detachably connected to the second panel 23 by screws. One end of the air guide plate 18 is connected to the inner surface of the first panel 22. Thus, the air guide plate 18 can be removed by simply disassembling the first panel 22, thereby allowing the fan component 11 to be disassembled. The side panel 17 is split into the first panel 22 and the second panel 23, so only the first panel 22 needs to be removed to disassemble the fan component 11. The first panel 22 is lighter than the side panel 17, making it easier for the user to disassemble.

[0041] Figure 8 As shown Figure 1 A perspective view of the fan component 11, the first sub-slide 28, and the second sub-slide 31 of the fan assembly 10 shown. (See also...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the fan component 11 is slidably disposed in the housing 12 along the first direction X. The fan component 11 can be pushed into the housing 12 along the first direction X to realize the installation of the fan component 11. The fan component 11 can be moved out of the housing 12 along the first direction X to realize the disassembly of the fan component 11. This facilitates the installation and disassembly of the fan component 11.

[0042] In one embodiment, the fan assembly 10 further includes at least one first slide rail 24 extending along a first direction X. The housing 12 also includes a first mounting plate 25 connected to the air outlet plate 14 on the upper side along a third direction Z. The first direction X is perpendicular to the third direction Z, which can be the vertical direction of the fan assembly 10. The first mounting plate 25 can refer to either the top plate or the bottom plate of the housing 12. The at least one first slide rail 24 includes a first sub-slide rail 28 disposed on the first mounting plate 25. The fan component 11 also includes a fan mounting plate 29 to which the fan 13 is connected. The fan 13 can be screwed to the fan mounting plate 29, and the fan mounting plate 29 can be used to fix the fan 13. The fan mounting plate 29 is slidably disposed in the first sub-slide rail 28 along the first direction X, so that the fan component 11 can be slidably disposed in the housing 12 along the first direction X. The fan mounting plate 29 connected to the fan 13 can be pushed in or moved out along the first sub-slide rail 28. This installation method is simple and highly reliable.

[0043] In one embodiment, the housing 12 further includes a second mounting plate (not shown) connected to the other side of the air outlet plate 14 along the third direction Z. The second mounting plate may refer to either the top plate or the bottom plate of the housing 12. At least one first slide rail 24 further includes a second sub-slide rail 31, which is arranged on the second mounting plate. The fan mounting plate 29 is slidably disposed within the second sub-slide rail 31 along the first direction X, so that the fan component 11 is slidably disposed within the housing 12 along the first direction X. The fan mounting plate 29 connected to the fan 13 can be pushed in or moved out along the first sub-slide rail 28 and the second sub-slide rail 31, thus improving reliability.

[0044] Figure 9 As shown Figure 8 A partial perspective view of the first sub-slide 28 of the fan assembly 10 shown. (See also...) Figure 3 and Figure 9As shown, in one embodiment, the first mounting plate 25 is the bottom plate of the housing 12. The first sub-slide 28 includes a slide body 32 and a support portion 33. The support portion 33 protrudes from the outer surface of the slide body 32, and can be perpendicular to the outer surface of the slide body 32, thus providing good support. The fan mounting plate 29 is slidably disposed within the slide body 32 of the first sub-slide 28 along the first direction X. When the fan component 11 is installed in the housing 12, the support portion 33 supports the fan 13 from below. The support portion 33 can support the fan 13, thereby reducing the stress on the fan mounting plate 29 and ensuring high reliability.

[0045] In one embodiment, the first sub-slide 28 further includes a guide portion 30, which protrudes from the outer surface of the slide body 32. The guide portion 30 can extend obliquely outward from the outer surface of the slide body 32 and in a direction away from the slide body 32. The guide portion 30 and the support portion 33 can be provided on opposite sides of the slide body 32.

[0046] Figure 10 As shown Figure 2 A magnified view of a local area 10b. See also Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the fan assembly 10 further includes a second slide rail 34 extending in the third direction Z. The second slide rail 34 is disposed on the side plate 17. The second slide rail 34 may be disposed on the first panel 22 of the side plate 17. When the fan component 11 is installed in the housing 12, the fan mounting plate 29 is embedded in the second slide rail 34. The fan mounting plate 29 includes a large surface for fixing and connecting the fan 13 and an end face connected to the large surface. When the fan component 11 is installed in the housing 12, the end face of the fan mounting plate 29 abuts against the bottom surface of the second slide rail 34. This confines the fan mounting plate 29 within the housing 12 by the first slide rail 24 and the second slide rail 34, thus making the installation of the fan component 11 more secure.

[0047] In one embodiment, the fan assembly 10 further includes a mounting member 35, which may be a screw. The side plate 17 has mounting holes 36 through which the mounting member 35 passes and is fixedly connected to the end face of the fan mounting plate 29. This prevents the fan 13 from vibrating.

[0048] Figure 11 As shown Figure 2The diagram shows a partial top view of the fan component 11, side plate component 15, and second slide rail 34 of the fan assembly 10. In one embodiment, the second slide rail 34 includes a groove 40 and a guide edge 41, the guide edge 41 extending obliquely outward from the top of the groove 40. The top of the groove 40 refers to the side end face opposite the bottom of the groove 40. When the fan component 11 is installed within the housing 12, the fan mounting plate 29 is embedded within the groove 40. The guide edge 41 serves a guiding function.

[0049] In one embodiment, an elastic sealing gasket (not shown in the figure) is provided in the first slide rail 24 to prevent air leakage from the fan assembly 10. An elastic sealing gasket may also be provided in the second slide rail 34; this application is not limiting. The elastic sealing gasket includes a smooth surface on the side facing away from the bottom surface of the first slide rail 24. When the fan assembly 11 is installed in the housing 12, the smooth surface presses against the end face of the fan mounting plate 29. The elastic sealing gasket can be a compressible gasket with aluminum foil, and the smooth surface of the elastic sealing gasket is the side surface with aluminum foil. This facilitates the sliding of the fan mounting plate 29 along the first direction X within the first slide rail 24, ensuring sealing performance while facilitating the smooth installation and removal of the fan assembly 11.

[0050] In this embodiment, only the first panel 22 connected to the air guide plate 18 needs to be disassembled to remove the fan mounting plate 29 connected to the fan 13 from the housing 12 along the first sub-slide rail 28 and the second sub-slide rail 31, thereby enabling the disassembly of the fan component 11. After replacing or repairing the fan 13, the fan mounting plate 29 connected to the fan 13 can be pushed into the housing 12 along the first sub-slide rail 28 and the second sub-slide rail 31 until the fan mounting plate 29 is embedded in the second slide rail 34, and then the first panel 22 can be connected to the air outlet plate 14, thereby enabling the installation of the fan component 11.

[0051] Figure 12 As shown Figure 6 A magnified view of a local area 15a. See also Figure 6 and Figure 12 As shown, the side plate 17 includes a first layer plate 37, a second layer plate 38, and a reinforcing rib 39, with the reinforcing rib 39 positioned between the first layer plate 37 and the second layer plate 38. The cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing rib 39 can be U-shaped. This prevents the side plate 17 from being deformed by the mounting component 35.
