In the disclosure of fans applied to the household appliance industry, with the improvement of people's quality of life, the requirements for indoor air quality are getting higher and higher, and the types of various filter elements and resistance components in air treatment device are increased. This poses a huge challenge to the static pressure resistance of the fans.
Currently, the air treatment device usually adopts forward centrifugal fans to guarantee the flowing of airflow.

With reference of
In the present disclosure, the centrifugal fan blade 100 includes a hub 110 and a plurality of fan blades 120, wherein the plurality of fan blades 120 are distributed around the periphery of the hub 110; the hub 110 has a bearing function and bears the plurality of fan blades 120; and the fan blades 120 guide the airflow to flow. When the centrifugal fan blade 100 rotates, the hub 110 is configured to drive the plurality of fan blades 120 thereon to rotate, and the fan blades 120 guide the airflow to flow, thereby realizing acceleration and pressurized output of the airflow. Moreover, the airflow enters the centrifugal fan blade 100 along the axial direction of the centrifugal fan blade 100 and flows out via the flow channels between the adjacent fan blades 120.
As shown in
In some embodiments, the first blade 121 and the second blade 122 are connected in series. In other words, the centrifugal fan blade 100 of the present disclosure realizes serial connection of two different blade forms on one fan blade 120, namely the first blade 121 in a backward blade form and the second blade 122 in a forward blade form are connected in series. Compared with cooperative use of the current forward fans and backward fans, the centrifugal fan blade 100 of the present disclosure can cancel the use of a connecting structure for the above-mentioned two parts, a frame, etc., and thus the overall structure of the centrifugal fan blade 100 is compact.
In some embodiments, the first blade 121 is connected with the hub 110, and the second blade 122 is disposed away from the hub 110. In other words, the first blade 121 in a backward blade form is located at the inlet of the centrifugal fan blade 100, and the second blade 122 in a forward blade form is located at the outlet of the centrifugal fan blade 100. Certainly, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the first blade 121 in a backward blade form is located at the outlet of the centrifugal fan blade 100, and the second blade 122 in a forward blade form is located at the inlet of the centrifugal fan blade 100.
Moreover, the radial bending direction of the first blade 121 refers to the direction of an arc-shaped recess of the first blade 121, and the radial bending direction of the second blade 122 refers to the direction of an arc-shaped recess of the second blade 122. The radial bending direction of the first blade 121 is opposite to that of the second blade 122, that is, the direction of the arc-shaped recess of the first blade 121 is opposite to the direction of the arc-shaped recess of the second blade 122, so that the blade in a forward blade form and the blade in a backward blade form can be connected in series; meanwhile the flow channel formed by the adjacent fan blades 120 can further be bent, so that sound wave is reflected and refracted a plurality of times in the flow channel, thus sound energy is effectively dissipated, a blade channel sound insulation effect is achieved in a propagation route, the sound radiation energy is reduced, thereby achieving the effect of reducing noises.
As one implementable embodiment, the curvature radius of the first blade is greater than that of the second blade 122. In other words, the first blade 121 adopts a blade in a backward blade form with a larger curvature radius, and the second blade 122 adopts a blade in a forward blade form with a smaller curvature radius. Compared to a simplex blade form, the flow channel formed by the adjacent fan blades 120 is relatively narrow and long, so that the sound wave is refracted and reflected a plurality of times when propagating in the flow channel, thereby effectively dissipating the sound energy, achieving a sound insulation effect in the propagation route and reducing the sound radiation energy. Further, the ratio of the curvature radius of the first blade 121 to the curvature radius of the second blade 122 ranges from 3.4 to 3.8 in order to further reduce the sound radiation energy.
Furthermore, the blade entrance angle of the first blade 121 ranges from 64.5° to 68.5° . After the blade entrance angle of the first blade 121 is within the above-mentioned range, it can be matched with an airflow inlet angle, so that the airflow can flow along the extension direction of the first blade 121, which reduces the impact generated by the airflow to the first blade 121, thereby reducing the noises generated during running of the centrifugal fan blade 100 and guaranteeing stable running of the centrifugal fan blade 100. The blade exit angle of the second blade 122 ranges from 16° to 20°. The output direction of the air can be determined by the blade exit angle of the second blade 122, thus the airflow blows out along the second blade 122 with the blade exit angle to guarantee the static pressure resistance. The blade exit angle of the second blade 122 is within the above-mentioned range to guarantee the static pressure resistance requirement of the centrifugal fan blade 100.
After the first blade 121 at the inlet of the centrifugal fan blade 100 adopts a blade in a backward blade form, since the flow channel formed by the first blades 121 which are in a backward blade form is small in curvature rate, the attack angle of the airflow inlet can be reduced; the impact generated by the airflow to the blades is small; the impact loss at the inlet is reduced, so the natural impact noise is low, the energy loss is minimal, and the air output efficiency can be improved. Moreover, the first blade 121 is a blade in a backward blade form, which can also facilitate the adjustment of the entrance angle of the fan blade 120. It can be understood that the convenient adjustment here refers to the convenient adjustment of the blade entrance angle of a backward blade form; furthermore, the adjustment refers to the adjustment of the blade entrance angle of the first blade 121 in formation design of the centrifugal fan blade 100, so that the blade entrance angle of the first blade 121 is matched with the inlet airflow, thus during running of the centrifugal fan blade 100, the airflow can flow along the extension direction of the first blade 121, so direct impact generated by the airflow to the first blade 121 is reduced, thereby achieving the aim of reducing the noises generated during running of the centrifugal fan blade 100.
The second blade 122 at the outlet of the centrifugal fan blade 100 adopts a blade in a forward blade form, which can make the airflow outputted smoothly without swirling between adjacent fan blades 120, and can effectively inhibit the formation of a vortex area at the outlet, so that the airflow flows out along the fan blades 120, thereby improving the static pressure resistance of the centrifugal fan blade 100 and guaranteeing the air volume. Thus, to some units having relatively high requirements on static pressure resistance, the second blade 122 in a forward blade form can ensure that the air volume is not attenuated based on high static pressure resistance.
As an implementable embodiment, the fan blade 120 further includes a connecting blade 123 which smoothly connects the first blade 121 with the second blade 122. The connecting blade 123 achieves a connection function and builds a connection between the first blade 121 and the second blade 122. Meanwhile, the connecting blade 123 can realize smooth transition between the flow channel between the first blades 121 and between the second blades 122, thus making the airflow flow stably and reducing the loss. Optionally, the connecting blade 123 is a linear segment by which the first blade 121 is connected with the second blade 122.
As an implementable embodiment, the first blades 121 of every two adjacent fan blades 120 form a first flow channel A1. Each first flow channel A1 causes the airflow flow at the same velocity. Optionally, the first flow channel A1 is equal width flow channel. The equal width flow channel here means that the width between the inner walls of the first flow channel A1 is substantially equal everywhere. That is, the section width of the equal width flow channel is substantially constant, which can reduce the vortex areas in the first flow channel A1; as the separation of the airflow in the first flow channel A1 is reduced, energy dissipation between the fan blades 120 is reduced, so that the efficiency of the centrifugal fan blade 100 is improved.
In some embodiments, the width L1 at the inlet of the first flow channel is smaller than the width L2 at the outlet of the first flow channel. It can be understood that the inlet position of the first flow channel A1 refers to the position of the end where the first flow channel A1 is connected with the hub 110, and the outlet position of the first flow channel A1 refers to the position of the end where the first flow channel A1 is away from the hub 110. In this embodiment, the outlet position of the first flow channel A1 refers to the position connected with the connecting blade 123. In other words, the width from the end of the first flow channel A1 connected with the hub 110 to the end far away from the hub 110 is substantially equal, so that the first flow channel A1 forms a constant-velocity flow channel. Thus, the airflow can realize uniform-velocity flowing when flowing in the first flow channel A1, thereby reducing the loss. Moreover, the width refers to the width between two adjacent first blades 121.
Further, the ratio of the width L1 at the inlet of the first flow channel A1 to the width L2 at the outlet of the first flow channel A1 ranges from 1 to 1.05. By constructing the first blades 121 according to the design parameter, the width between adjacent first blades 121 is substantially the same, and the air flow velocity of the first flow channel A1 is ensured to be consistent. Furthermore, the ratio of the width at any position of the first flow channel A1 to the width L1 at the inlet of the first flow channel A1 ranges from 1 to 1.05. Thus, the first flow channels A1 are ensured to be constant-velocity flow channels.
As an implementable embodiment, the second blades 122 of every two adjacent fan blades 120 form a second flow channel A2. Each second flow channel A2 gradually increases the flow velocity of the airflow. Optionally, the second flow channel include a divergent flow channel and a convergent flow channel, and the outlet of the divergent flow channel is in communication with the inlet of the convergent flow channel. In the divergent flow channel, the width between the inner walls of the second flow channel A2 is gradually increased, and in the convergent flow channel, the width between the inner walls of the second flow channel A2 is gradually reduced. In other words, the second flow channel A2 formed by the adjacent second blades 122 are gradually divergent and then convergent.
The divergent flow channel is connected with the first flow channel A1 formed by the first blades 121, and the smooth connection between the divergent flow channel and the first flow channel A1 can reduce the loss of the flow channel to increase the energy of output air, thereby improving the static pressure resistance. The width between the inner walls of the convergent flow channel close to the air outlet side is reduced, the flow area of the same air volume is reduced, which will correspondingly increase the velocity of the airflow at the outlet, and thus the convergent blade form can effectively eliminate unevenness of the flow velocity at the outlet and reduce diffusion of the airflow, thereby weakening the jet-wake influence at the outlet.
The width L3 at the inlet of the second flow channel A2 is greater than the width L5 at the outlet of the second flow channel A2. It can be understood that the width at the inlet of the second flow channel A2 refers to that at the position of the end of each second flow channel A2 close to the corresponding first flow channel A1; in this embodiment, the width at the inlet of the second flow channel A2 refers to that at the position of the joint of each second blade 122 and the corresponding connecting blade 123; and the outlet of each second flow channel A2 refers to the tail end of the corresponding fan blade 120. In other words, the width from the end of each second flow channel A2 connected with the corresponding connecting blade 123 to the end far away from the corresponding connecting blade 123 is firstly large and then small, so that the second flow channel A2 forms an accelerating flow channel. Thus, when the airflow flows in the second flow channels A2, the second flow channels A2 can accelerate the airflow.
Further, the ratio of the width at the inlet of the divergent flow channel to the width at the outlet of the convergent flow channel ranges from 1.3 to 1.7, and the ratio of the width at the inlet of the convergent flow channel to the width at the outlet of the convergent flow channel ranges from 2 to 2.4. Namely, the width L3 at the inlet of the second flow channel A2 to the width L5 at the outlet of the second flow channel A2 ranges from 1.3 to 1.7. The ratio of the width at the inlet of the convergent flow channel to the width at the outlet of the second flow channel A2 ranges from 2 to 2.4. Moreover, as shown in
Optionally, the length of the first blade 121 along the radial direction is equal to that of the second blade 122 along the radial direction. If the second blade 122 is too short, it will be difficult to form an acceleration process of the airflow and the static pressure resistance will be insufficient. If the second blade 122 is too long, although the static pressure resistance will be improved, the noise of the airflow will be large and the efficiency will be greatly reduced as well. Moreover, due to the limitation of the diameter of the centrifugal fan blade 100, if the first blade 121 is too long, the corner at the joint of the first blade 121 and the second blade 122 will be too large, the blade profile line will be not smooth, and the strong airflow at the corner will form a concentrated vortex area in the flow channel, resulting in swirling of the airflow in the flow channel, which will cause a disadvantage for air output. Therefore, the setting of equal length of the first blade 121 and the second blade 122 can reduce noise, guarantee efficiency, and facilitate flowing of the airflow while guaranteeing the static pressure resistance.
As an implementable embodiment, the connecting blades 123 of every two adjacent fan blades 120 form a third flow channel A3, and each third flow channel A3 smoothly connects the first flow channel A1 with the corresponding second flow channel A2. Thus, the flow channels for the airflow can be ensured to be smooth, the flow loss of the airflow can be reduced, and the output air volume can be guaranteed. Moreover, the width at the inlet of the third flow channel A3 is less than the width L3 at the inlet of the second flow channel A2, and the width at the inlet of the third flow channel A3 is greater than the width L2 at the outlet of the first flow channel A1. In other words, the width between the third flow channel A3 is gradually increased along the flow direction of the airflow so as to achieve smooth connection between the first flow channel A1 and the second flow channel A2.
As shown in
Further optionally, the first blade 121, the connecting blade 123 and the second blade 122 form an integrated structure. Thus, the fan blade 120 can be easy to process and shape, reliable connection is guaranteed, and meanwhile the assembly efficiency can also be improved. Moreover, the first blade 121, the connecting blade 123, the second blade 122 and the hub 110 may also be integrally formed.
The design parameters of the centrifugal fan blade 100 of a specific embodiment of the present disclosure are as follows: the hub ratio of the first blade 121 (the ratio of the diameter of the end where the first blade 121 is connected with the hub 110 to the diameter of the end where the first blade 121 is connected with the connecting blade 123) is 0.8125; the hub ratio of the second blade 122 (the ratio of the diameter of the end where the second blade 122 is connected with the connecting blade 123 to the diameter of the tail end of the second blade 122) is 0.6; the blade entrance angle of the first blade 121 is 66.5°; the blade exit angle of the second blade 122 is 18.3°; the central angle of the first blade 121 is 28;, the central angle of the second blade 122 is 117°; the arc radius of the first blade 121 is 64.7 mm; and the arc radius of the second blade 122 is 17.8 mm. Thus, the airflow can flow into the centrifugal fan blade 100 along the first blade 121 to reduce the impact caused by the airflow to the fan blade 120 at the inlet, reduce the impact noise, can also improve the flowing of the airflow at the inlet of the fan blade 120, inhibit flow division and increase the output air volume; the second blade 122 can inhibit the formation of vortex at the outlet, and improve the static pressure resistance, so that the centrifugal fan blade 100 guarantees the air output efficiency as well as has a compact structure and reduces the noises generated during running of the centrifugal fan blade 100.
The present disclosure further provides a fan, including a motor and a centrifugal fan blade 100. An output shaft of the motor is connected with the hub 110 of the centrifugal fan blade 100 to realize rotation driving of the centrifugal fan blade 100, thereby realizing accelerated output of the airflow. After the fan of the present disclosure adopts the above-mentioned centrifugal fan blade 100, it can improve the static pressure resistance, guarantee the air output efficiency, reduce the noises generated during running of the fan, and guarantee stable and reliable running of the fan.
