Tip clearance is the distance between the tip of a rotating airfoil and a stationary part.

Fan assembly with exhaust offset

A fan assembly has a rotatable propeller having a plurality of fan blades, each having an outer tip. A cylindrical fan shroud surrounds the propeller and has an inner surface facing the propeller. The inner surface comprises a pocket surface longitudinally aligned with the propeller and a constricted exhaust surface longitudinally downstream of the pocket surface and radially offset from the pocket surface by a pocket depth. Outer tips of the fan blades may define a tip clearance gap between the propeller and the inner surface. The outer tips may extend into an annular pocket. An effective tip clearance gap, defined by a distance between a diameter of the constricted exhaust surface and the outer tips of the fan blades, is smaller than a tip clearance gap between the outer tips and the pocket surface. Related fan assemblies for agricultural building are also disclosed.

A low-noise axial flow blade with double-stage serrations

This invention relates to a low-noise axial flow blade with dual-stage serrations. It pertains to the field of axial flow fan technology. The blade trailing edge is divided into a lower-middle region (I) and an upper region near the blade tip (II) along the blade height. Both regions have serrations on their trailing edges, forming a dual-stage noise reduction structure. The trailing edge of region I is fitted using a Mie-squared function to match gradually sized serrations; the trailing edge of region II is fitted using a linear square root mixed function to match equidistant serrations. This invention can simultaneously and specifically suppress two core noise sources: trailing edge shedding vortices and tip clearance leakage vortices, significantly reducing fan aerodynamic noise while maintaining blade aerodynamic efficiency. It can be directly adapted to existing conventional fan installation structures, has a mature molding process, and is suitable for low-pressure, high-volume applications such as HVAC and industrial ventilation.

Adjustable double-moving-blade tip clearance simulation test device and method for rotor elastic wire reconstruction and fault identification test

PendingCN122282330AAxial displacementImpeller
This invention relates to the field of aero-engine technology, and discloses an adjustable dual-blade tip clearance simulation test device and method for rotor elastic line reconstruction and fault identification tests. The invention employs a dual independent drive assembly design. During rotor rotation, the axial displacement of the first and second auxiliary bearings is controlled by the first and second drive assemblies, respectively. The axial movement of the first and second auxiliary bearings is converted into radial extension and retraction of the blades via a connecting rod structure, allowing both adjustable blades to extend or retract simultaneously, achieving synchronous adjustment of the tip clearance of both blades. Alternatively, the tip clearance of a single adjustable blade can be adjusted by extending or retracting it individually. This invention can meet the dynamic adjustment requirements of tip clearance in rotor elastic line reconstruction and fault identification tests, and can support rotor dynamics research in rotating turbomachinery.

Ducted fan

This application relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to a ducted air conditioning unit. The ducted air conditioning unit proposed in this application includes multiple fans and a drive unit. The drive unit is disposed between adjacent fans and includes a motor and a connecting shaft. The motor drives the fans of the multiple fans to rotate through the connecting shaft. By constructing a coordinated matching relationship between the total length of the volute, the fan spacing, and the motor size, and limiting the ratio of the total volute length W to the total spacing S, the volute opening W / S is limited to the optimal range of 0.55~0.675. This allows the fan blades to form a reasonable tip clearance with the inner wall of the casing, effectively suppressing high-frequency aerodynamic noise generated by tip vortices, while ensuring smooth airflow within the casing. This reduces airflow turbulence and increased vortex noise caused by excessive clearance, and prevents airflow interference, increased structural vibration, and structural interference risks caused by insufficient clearance. This achieves a comprehensive performance improvement of low noise, large air volume, and high stability from the structural layout source.

High-efficiency cooling system for supersonic turbine blade tips based on shock wave interference effect

This invention relates to a high-efficiency cooling system for supersonic turbine blade tips based on shock wave interference effects. Specifically, it involves setting film cooling holes of different sizes in the leading and trailing edge regions of the turbine blade. Through numerical simulation, the wave system structure of the blade tip clearance is accurately captured, clarifying the distribution of high-pressure / low-pressure regions formed by shock wave interference. The relationship between shock waves and tip heat transfer and flow field is precisely analyzed, as well as the flow field distribution within the clearance, which differs from conventional subsonic blade tip clearances, due to the complex wave system structure of shock waves and expansion waves. By arranging film cooling holes of different diameters and spacings close to the pressure side in the leading and trailing edge regions, the non-uniform spatial layout of the cooling holes is optimized, greatly improving cooling efficiency and targeting. This solves the cooling failure problem caused by neglecting the influence of shock wave interference, achieving precise matching between flow field characteristics and cooling structure design, resulting in greater targeting.
