Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, and more specifically, to a submerged fan. Background Technology
[0002] When installing fans on the outdoor units of central air conditioning systems, the fans are typically mounted on the top or side, causing the entire fan to protrude from the unit casing and significantly increasing the overall external space occupied by the equipment. This structural defect is particularly prominent in application scenarios where external installation space is severely limited, such as high-rise buildings and narrow equipment platforms, greatly restricting equipment selection and layout, and even making installation impossible. Therefore, a new installation structure is needed to overcome the aforementioned space limitations. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a submerged fan includes a mounting plate 14, an air guide duct 15, and a fan. The mounting plate 14 has an opening in the middle, as shown. Figure 2 As shown, the air guide duct 15 is conical, with the smaller diameter end inserted into the hole, so that the outer wall of the air guide duct 15 contacts the hole wall in the middle of the mounting plate 14. The two are fixed together by welding, riveting, or other methods. Then, a flared mouth is formed at the smaller diameter end of the air guide duct 15 using a flanging mold or spinning.
[0026] The fan includes a motor 17 and an impeller 19, with the motor 17 driving the impeller 19 to rotate. The motor 17 and impeller 19 are located inside the air duct 15. Specifically, the motor 17 is fixedly mounted to the air duct 15 via a mounting bracket 20. The motor 17 and impeller 19 are located above and below the mounting plate 14, respectively. The portion below the mounting plate 14 is located inside the outdoor unit of the central air conditioning system, thus reducing the structure outside the outdoor unit and minimizing the external space occupied. This design is suitable for situations where the external space of the central air conditioning outdoor unit is limited.
[0027] The air guide duct 15 includes an air inlet end and an air outlet end. The end of the air guide duct 15 with a smaller diameter is the air inlet end, and the end of the air guide duct 15 with a larger diameter is the air outlet end. The diameter of the air guide duct 15 gradually and uniformly increases along the direction from the air inlet end to the air outlet end. The impeller 19 is located near the air inlet end, and the motor 17 is located near the air outlet end.
[0028] like Figure 7 As shown, mounting plate 14 is installed on the upper part of fins 22, such that the inlet end of air guide duct 15 is located between fins 22. Motor 17 drives impeller 19 to rotate, drawing in ambient air from all sides. After the air flows through fins 22, the hot air is discharged along air guide duct 15. As the airflow moves from the inlet end to the outlet end, the flow cross-sectional area increases, and the airflow velocity decreases. The reduced kinetic energy is converted into pressure energy, enabling the airflow to overcome external resistance, such as natural wind and exhaust from other outdoor units. This ensures that the discharged hot air can be blown to a farther location, preventing hot air from being drawn back in by the fan.
[0029] A reinforcing ring 21 is connected to the middle of the mounting plate 14. The taper of the reinforcing ring 21 is the same as that of the air duct 15. The reinforcing ring 21 is set to abut against the outer wall of the air duct 15 to increase the contact area, thereby enhancing the firmness of the connection between the two.
[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the mounting bracket 20 includes a mounting ring 1 and a guide vane bracket 2. The mounting ring 1 is fixedly mounted on the motor 17. One end of the guide vane bracket 2 is connected to the mounting ring 1 by bolts, and the other end of the guide vane bracket 2 is connected to the flange 16 at the air outlet end of the air duct 15.
[0031] Mounting ring 1 includes a mounting ring 3 and a positioning ring 4. The positioning ring 4 is located on the inner circumference of the mounting ring 3 and extends axially along the mounting ring 3. Motor 17 includes several mounting blocks 18 located on the outer wall of motor 17. Mounting ring 3 is connected to mounting blocks 18 by bolts, thereby fixing it to motor 17. The inner diameter of positioning ring 4 is slightly larger than the diameter of motor 17. During installation, positioning ring 4 is fitted over motor 17, serving to position the mounting ring 3.
[0032] Multiple guide vane supports 2 are provided, and the multiple guide vane supports 2 are evenly distributed around the mounting ring 1, thereby increasing the connection strength with the motor 17 and the air guide tube 15, that is, increasing the installation stability of the motor 17 in the air guide tube 15.
[0033] The guide vane support 2 includes a first connecting block 6, a second connecting block 8, and a guide vane 7, with the guide vane 7 located between the first connecting block 6 and the second connecting block 8. A portion of the first connecting block 6 is fixed to the mounting block 18 and the mounting ring 3 by bolts. The first connecting block 6 is directly connected to the mounting block 18, allowing a portion of the guide vane support 2 to directly support the motor 17. The remaining portion of the guide vane support 2 indirectly supports the motor 17 by supporting the mounting ring 3.
[0034] Connecting block 16 includes a connecting plate 22 and a fixing plate 23 connected together. The connecting plate 22 is vertically arranged, and the fixing plate 23 is horizontally arranged. The fixing plate 23 is located below the mounting ring 3. The fixing plate 213 has a mounting hole 2 that mates with the fixing hole 5. The fixing hole 5 and the mounting hole 2 are fixedly connected by screwing in bolts. Connecting block 28 includes a fixing plate 19 and a connecting plate 10 connected together. The connecting plate 10 is vertically arranged, and the fixing plate 19 is horizontally arranged. The fixing plate 19 has a mounting hole 11 that mates with the fixing hole 2 at the end of the air guide duct 15. The fixing is completed by screwing in bolts.
[0035] One end of the guide vane 7 is connected to the outer side of the connecting plate 12 by welding, and the other end of the guide vane 7 is also connected to the inner side of the connecting plate 10 by welding.
[0036] The guide vane 7 is inclined in the vertical direction and has a curved structure, which can guide the air discharged by the fan, regulate the airflow path, reduce air turbulence, make the air pass through more concentratedly and smoothly, avoid disorderly air diffusion, and improve the aerodynamic efficiency of the fan.
[0037] The curvature of guide vane 7 near the end of connecting block 6 is less than that near the end of connecting block 8, and the curvature increases uniformly. When the fan is working, the air vortex generated at the blade tip is stronger. By increasing the curvature of guide vane 7 at this position, the airflow can be better guided and the vortex can be reduced.
[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
