[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a metal louvered ventilation fan, including a sheet metal frame 1 and a fan 3. A mesh cover 2 is provided on one side of the sheet metal frame 1. The sheet metal frame 1 is manufactured using an advanced one-piece molding process, and galvanized sheet with a thickness of 1.0mm is selected as the raw material. In the processing stage, a folding process is adopted: first, the sheet metal is folded 180° flat to form a regular and stable frame flange edge, used for the installation of the mesh cover 2 and the overall installation and fixation of the ventilation fan; next, the sheet metal is bent 90° to shape a louvered frame that meets the design requirements, used for installing the louvered blades 8; finally, it is folded 90° in the opposite direction to form an inward reinforcing edge at the end of the louvered frame, increasing the strength of the louvered frame and improving the overall torsional resistance of the frame.

[0020] A fan 3 is located in the center of the mesh cover 2, and the fan 3 is fixed to the center of the mesh cover 2 with bolts. The mesh cover 2 is connected to the inner wall of the sheet metal frame 1 with screws. A rain cover 5 is located on the other side of the sheet metal frame 1. Louvers 8 are rotatably installed between the inner walls of the two sides of the sheet metal frame 1. An air outlet shell 6 is located at the bottom of the rain cover 5. The rain cover 5 is pressed into the outer edge of the sheet metal frame 1 with an interference fit of 0.3mm. The louvers 8 are connected to the inner walls of the frame on both sides through a rotating shaft. A guide shell 10 is provided inside the air outlet shell 6. The outer contour of the guide shell 10 and the inner contour of the air outlet shell 6 are in clearance fit. The clearance design allows the guide shell 10 to move smoothly under wind pressure, while also buffering the impact of airflow and reducing noise; at the same time, it prevents the structure from jamming due to thermal expansion and contraction.

[0021] Air outlet slots 11 are formed in the inner walls of the guide housing 10, and an air outlet is provided at the bottom of the air outlet housing 6. The sealing plate 9 can fit against the bottom of the air outlet housing 6. The bottom of the guide housing 10 is provided with a sealing plate 9, and spring sleeve rods are provided at both ends of the sealing plate 9. The sealing plate 9 is movably set at the bottom of the air outlet housing 6 by the spring sleeve rods. Under wind conditions, the sealing plate 9 can dynamically adjust up and down according to the wind pressure, so that the air outlet slots 11 on the guide housing 10 increase or decrease leakage, thereby automatically adjusting the air volume.

[0022] The spring sleeve includes a guide rod 12 and a spring 13. The top end of the guide rod 12 is fixed to the bottom outer wall of the rain cover 5. Guide holes that mate with the guide rod 12 are provided at both ends of the sealing plate 9. The top end of the spring 13 is fixed to the bottom outer wall of the rain cover 5, and the bottom end of the spring 13 is fixed to the top surface of the sealing plate 9. An elastic protective cover 14 is provided on the outside of the spring 13. The protective cover 14 prevents rainwater and dust from entering the interior of the spring 13 and prevents the elasticity from weakening due to corrosion. A junction box 4 is provided on one outer wall of the mesh cover 2, and a flange is provided at the connection end between the sheet metal frame 1 and the mesh cover 2. The junction box 4 is fixed to the outside of the mesh cover 2, and the flange is connected to the wall by bolts.

[0023] Electromagnets 7 are fixed to the outer walls of both sides of the bottom of the air outlet casing 6. The area below the electromagnets 7 on the top of the sealing plate 9 is made of magnetic material. The electromagnets 7 are fixed to the side walls of the air outlet casing 6 with bolts, and the corresponding area of ​​the sealing plate 9 is made of 2mm thick magnetic steel plate. When the electromagnets 7 are energized, they generate a magnetic field, which attracts the sealing plate 9 to rise and achieve a complete seal, blocking the backflow path of rainwater during heavy rain. A rain sensor can be installed on the outer wall of the top of the rain cover, and a controller can be set in the junction box to achieve linkage. Specifically, after the rain sensor detects rainwater, the controller controls the fan 3 to shut down, and at the same time, the electromagnets 7 start to attract the sealing plate 9, achieving a seal.

[0024] A rotating arm 16 is fixed to the middle of the bottom surface of the louver 8, and a connecting rod 15 is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating arm 16 to support the louver 8.

[0025] The rain cover 5 and the sheet metal frame 1 are connected by an interference fit. The rain cover 5 is pressed into the outer edge of the sheet metal frame 1 with an interference fit of 0.3mm, and waterproof sealant is applied to the mating surfaces to improve the sealing effect.

[0026] A limiting plate is provided at the bottom end of the guide rod 12. The diameter of the limiting plate is larger than the diameter of the guide hole. The limiting plate is fixed to the bottom end of the guide rod 12 by welding. The diameter is larger than the guide hole to limit the maximum displacement of the sealing plate 9 and prevent the sealing plate 9 from falling off.

[0027] When using a metal louvered ventilation fan, the entire device is installed on the ventilation opening of the window or wall through the flange of the sheet metal frame 1. The fan 3 exhausts the indoor air to the outside to achieve ventilation. At this time, the rain cover 5 provides overall rain protection for the outer end of the louver 8 to prevent rainwater from flowing back into the room through the gap after the louver 8 is closed. During ventilation, the wind generated by the fan 3 blows the louvers 8, causing them to rotate and open, allowing air to enter the rain cover 5. The air is then blown by the wind through the air outlet shell 6 to the sealing plate 9. Under normal conditions, the electromagnet 7 is closed, and there is a gap between the sealing plate 9 and the air outlet shell 6, allowing air to be discharged directly. The downward air outlet design of the air outlet shell 6 effectively prevents rainwater from flowing back in. When ventilation is not required, the electromagnet 7 can be activated to attract the sealing plate 9, causing the sealing plate 9 to rise and tightly seal the bottom surface of the air outlet shell 6, preventing outside air from entering the room.

[0028] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
