Detailed Implementation

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model is an axial flow fan with plastic blades, including a frame 1, an impeller 2 and blades 3 rotatably disposed within the frame 1, a ratchet 4 at the root of the blades 3, the ratchet 4 being installed on the side of the impeller 2, and a limiting tooth 5 on the side of the impeller 2, the limiting tooth 5 cooperating with the ratchet 4 to adjust and lock the tilt angle of the blades 3.

[0032] The impeller 2 has a mounting post 6 on its side, a limiting tooth 5 on the mounting post 6, and mounting blocks 7 at both ends of the mounting post 6. A torsion spring 8 is provided inside the limiting tooth 5, and the two ends of the torsion spring 8 are located inside the mounting blocks 7 to maintain the meshing state between the limiting tooth 5 and the ratchet 4.

[0033] A power source is installed inside the frame 1 via a bracket. The impeller 2 is mounted on the power source and is driven to rotate by the power source. Several blades 3 are evenly arranged on the side of the impeller 2. The rotation of the impeller 2 and the blades 3 by the power source is a well-known technical solution to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] Frame 1 is fixedly installed inside the mounting bracket.

[0035] A support frame is fixedly installed on one side of the ratchet 4, and the root of the blade 3 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support. A connecting post is fixedly installed on the other side of the ratchet 4. The ratchet 4 is rotatably installed on the side of the impeller 2 through the connecting post, thereby enabling the blade 3 to be rotatably installed on the side of the impeller 2.

[0036] An mounting column 6 is fixedly installed on the side of the impeller 2, and mounting blocks 7 are fixedly installed at both ends of the mounting column 6. The end of the limiting tooth 5 is rotatably installed on the mounting column 6 and located between the two mounting blocks 7. A torsion spring 8 is provided in the middle of the limiting tooth 5, and the two ends of the torsion spring 8 are fixedly inserted into the fixing blocks on both sides for limiting and fixing the limiting tooth 5.

[0037] The adjacent teeth on the ratchet 4 form a limiting groove 9, and the side of the limiting tooth 5 is adapted to the limiting groove 9 to limit the ratchet 4.

[0038] The limiting tooth 5 is L-shaped, and the adjacent teeth on the ratchet 4 form a limiting groove 9. The end of the limiting tooth 5 is adapted to the limiting groove 9. The end of the limiting tooth 5 is located in the limiting groove 9 to limit and fix the ratchet 4 and prevent the ratchet 4 from rotating.

[0039] Blade 3 features a curved design to increase the airflow of the axial fan while reducing noise and energy consumption.

[0040] Blade 3 is made by injection molding.

[0041] The blade 3 and the ratchet 4 are integrally injection molded.

[0042] The blade 3, ratchet 4, support frame and connecting column are injection molded as one piece. By using plastic material, the weight of the mechanism can be reduced so as not to affect the rotation effect of the power source driving the impeller 2 and blade 3.

[0043] Working principle: When the tilt angle of blade 3 needs to be adjusted, rotate the limiting tooth 5 outward so that the end of the limiting tooth 5 disengages from the ratchet 4 so that the ratchet 4 can rotate. At the same time, the torsion spring 8 deforms. The rotation of the ratchet 4 adjusts the angle of blade 3, changes the air volume of the fan to meet the usage requirements. After adjustment, loosen the fixing of the limiting tooth 5. Through the setting of the torsion spring 8, the limiting tooth 5 is locked back into the ratchet 4, fixing the ratchet 4 and blade 3.

[0044] Example 2:

[0045] like Figure 8 As shown, the air inlet end and the air outlet end of the frame 1 are respectively provided with a filter plate 10 and a cover mesh 11.

[0046] A filter plate 10 is installed outside the air inlet of the frame 1. The filter plate 10 has several holes evenly arranged on it. The filter plate 10 prevents debris from being drawn into the fan and affecting the normal operation of the fan. A cover net 11 is installed at the air inlet of the frame 1. The cover net 11 protects the staff and prevents the blades 3 from causing injury to the workers when they rotate.

[0047] The filter plate 10 is located inside the mounting ring 12, which is attached to the end of the frame 1 by screws 13.

[0048] The mounting ring 12 is fixedly installed on the frame 1 by using screw 13.

[0049] The mesh cover 11 is provided with a connecting rod 14 on the side, and a limiting block 15 is provided on both sides of the connecting rod 14. The end of the frame 1 is provided with a connecting hole 16, and a through groove 17 is provided on both sides of the inner wall of the connecting hole 16. After the connecting rod 14 is inserted into the connecting hole 16, it is rotated to make the limiting block 15 and the through groove 17 misaligned, thereby realizing the connection between the mesh cover 11 and the frame 1.

[0050] A top plate 18 and a spring 19 are provided inside the connecting hole 16. The two ends of the spring 19 are connected to the top plate 18 and the inner wall of the connecting hole 16, respectively. An anti-slip pad 20 is provided on the top plate 18. The anti-slip pad 20 abuts against the end of the connecting rod 14 to fix the connecting rod 14.

[0051] A connecting plate is fixedly installed on the side of the cover 11, and the connecting rod 14 is movably installed on the connecting plate to support the connecting rod 14. At the same time, limit blocks 15 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the movable end of the connecting rod 14 to prevent the connecting rod 14 from slipping off the connecting plate.

[0052] The end face of the frame 1 is provided with a connecting hole 16 corresponding to the position of the connecting rod 14, and through grooves 17 are provided on both sides of the connecting hole 16, so that the connecting rod 14 and the limiting block 15 can be inserted into the connecting hole 16. By rotating the connecting hole 16, the limiting block 15 and the through groove 17 are misaligned, thereby fixing the connecting rod 14.

[0053] A spring 19 is installed inside the connecting hole 16. The two ends of the spring 19 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting hole 16 and the top plate 18, respectively. An anti-slip pad 20 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the top plate 18. After the connecting rod 14 is inserted into the connecting hole 16, it compresses the spring 19. At the same time, the anti-slip plate on the top plate 18 abuts against the connecting rod 14. The spring 19 and the anti-slip pad 20 limit the connecting rod 14 and prevent the connecting rod 14 from rotating, which would cause the cover net 11 to be unstable during installation.

[0054] Working principle: The connecting rod 14 can be pushed into the connecting hole 16, then rotated and pulled outward to disengage the connecting rod 14 from the connecting hole 16, thereby disassembling the cover screen 11. The filter screen can be disassembled by removing the screw 13, which facilitates cleaning of the filter screen and the cover screen 11. At the same time, the tilt angle of the blade 3 can be adjusted.

[0055] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the technical features of this utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on this utility model to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
