Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air supply device technology, and more specifically, to a forward and reverse rotating fan. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of ventilation equipment, fans, as an important airflow control device, are widely used in various scenarios such as building ventilation, industrial cooling, and environmental control. Traditional fans are usually designed with a unidirectional airflow mode, meaning they can only achieve one function: forward or reverse rotation airflow. This design limits the application flexibility and airflow efficiency of fans to some extent. For example, in situations requiring wide coverage of the airflow area, unidirectional airflow is often insufficient, leading to insufficient or uneven airflow in some areas and affecting the overall ventilation effect. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a forward and reverse rotating fan, which aims to achieve efficient and stable forward and reverse rotation of the fan blades and expand the air delivery coverage area by optimizing the design of the fan mechanism and the configuration of the control unit.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] The reversible fan of this utility model includes a frame, a fan mechanism, and a control unit. The fan mechanism is mounted on the frame, and the control unit is electrically connected to the fan mechanism for controlling the start and stop of the fan mechanism. The fan mechanism includes a drive device and a fan-changing structure. The drive device provides power to the fan-changing structure. The drive device is electrically connected to the control unit, and the control unit controls the start and stop of the drive device.
[0006] The fan-changing structure includes a driven structure and a fan blade structure. The driven structure is tractably connected to the driving device, and the fan blade structure is tractably connected to the driven structure.
[0007] The drive device is configured to rotate in both the forward and reverse directions.
[0008] Preferably, the fan blade structure and the driven structure are connected by a transmission mechanism.
[0009] Preferably, the fan blade structure includes multiple fan blades and multiple lead screws corresponding to the multiple fan blades. Each fan blade is installed on one end of a lead screw, and the other end of the lead screw is provided with a first bevel gear. The driven structure is sleeved with a second bevel gear. The first bevel gear and the second bevel gear are meshed and connected. Multiple first bevel gears and second bevel gears together constitute a transmission mechanism.
[0010] Preferably, the driven structure is configured as a stepper motor.
[0011] Preferably, the drive device is configured as an asynchronous motor.
[0012] Preferably, the driving device is provided with a first pulley, and the driven structure is provided with a second pulley, and the first pulley and the second pulley are connected by a belt for transmission.
[0013] Preferably, a rain cover is provided on the frame corresponding to the fan mechanism.
[0014] Preferably, the frame is further provided with louvers corresponding to the fan mechanism.
[0015] Preferably, one end of the driven structure is provided with a conductive ring, which is electrically connected to the control unit.
[0016] Preferably, the control unit includes a processing module, a receiving module, and a remote control module, wherein the processing module is electrically connected to the receiving module, and the receiving module is electrically connected to the remote control module.
[0017] Preferably, the processing module includes a programmable controller and an encoder, wherein the encoder is electrically connected to the conductive ring, and the programmable controller is electrically connected to the encoder.
[0018] Preferably, the receiving module includes an AC contactor and a remote control receiver, the remote control receiver being electrically connected to the AC contactor, and the AC contactor being electrically connected to the processing module.
[0019] Preferably, the frame is provided with a fan operation indicator light, which includes a forward rotation indicator light and a reverse rotation indicator light.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0021] This invention enables the fan blades to rotate in both directions, allowing the fan to flexibly change the airflow direction and effectively expand the airflow coverage area. This solves the problem of uneven or insufficient airflow in a wide area by traditional single-direction airflow fans, thus improving the ventilation effect.
[0022] Based on this, a transmission mechanism such as a bevel gear set (and other conventional optional transmission methods) is used to realize the power transmission and direction change between the fan blades and the drive device. When designed properly, it can ensure stable and reliable transmission, reduce power loss, improve transmission efficiency, and ensure smooth forward and reverse operation of the fan blades.
[0023] In addition, the installation of a rain cover and louvers on the frame effectively prevents rainwater and debris from entering the fan, protecting the internal structure from damage, extending the fan's service life, and improving the fan's environmental adaptability.
[0024] Furthermore, the control unit integrates a processing module, a receiving module, and a remote control module, achieving a seamless combination of local and remote control. Through components such as a PLC programmable controller and stepper motor encoder, it can precisely control the fan's operating status, enabling intelligent scheduling. The remote control module includes components such as a time relay and a remote control transmitter, supporting remote control via smart devices (such as mobile phones), greatly facilitating user operation, reducing labor costs, and enhancing the user experience.
