The present disclosure relates to a blade adjusting device for a counter-rotating axial flow fan, and particularly, to a mechanically driven type two-stage blade adjusting device for a counter-rotating axial flow fan.
A desirable ventilation system should be simple in structure, and ventilation equipment can be adjusted according to actual conditions for safety production. The quality of the ventilation equipment has a significant impact on the ventilation effect. The existing moving blade adjustable axial flow fan is usually driven by a hydraulic system to adjust the installation angles of blades. The hydraulic system generally includes a pump, a pipeline, a servo valve, a servo cylinder and the like, wherein considerable parts of components need to be specially made, so that the overall manufacturing process of the system is complex and the maintenance cost is high. Besides, when the fan equipment is placed in a narrow ventilator, the circulation of air may also be influenced and the size of impeller hubs is limited, and the narrow space also limits the application of an adjusting mechanism in a medium or small fan. For example, CN103727062A discloses “a device for adjusting moving blades of an axial flow fan”, wherein the device is mainly composed of moving blades, transmission groups, impeller hubs, a hydraulic transmission system and a control panel, and the hydraulic system provides power in the blade adjusting process, so that the control panel drives the blades to change the installation angles. Such an adjusting structure increases the manufacturing and maintenance cost of the hydraulic system, is not suitable for being applied to a medium or small fan, and cannot realize synchronous adjustment.
In an existing mechanical adjusting type mechanism, e.g., “a device for adjusting moving blades of an axial flow fan” disclosed in CN204386932U, a motor drives a lead screw to rotate so that a nut produces axial displacement, and drives adjusting arms for blades so as to adjust the angles of the blades. The mechanism for adjusting blades is completely placed in a ventilator, thereby leading to the problems that the maintenance is inconvenient and the performance of the fan is influenced, and also failing to realize synchronous adjustment of two-stage blades.
For another example, CN201865932U discloses “an angle adjustable counter-rotating axial flow energy-saving fan for a mine”, wherein a large bevel gear drives a series of small bevel gears to rotate so as to adjust the angles of blades, the synchronism of a plurality of moving blades would be poor in the adjusting process, and the moving blades are asynchronous during primary and secondary adjustment and need to be adjusted by shutdown, which is unbeneficial to the safety of the mine.
Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a two-stage blade adjusting mechanism for a counter-rotating axial flow fan, which is compact in structure and low in manufacturing cost and realizes synchronous adjustment.
The present disclosure provides a two-stage blade adjusting device for a counter-rotating axial flow fan, which solves the problems of complex structure and poor synchronism of the existing mechanical adjusting mechanism for adjusting the angles of two-stage blades of a counter-rotating axial flow fan.
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a two-stage blade adjusting device for a counter-rotating axial flow fan, including a transmission shaft, a primary impeller, a secondary impeller and an adjusting mechanism; wherein the adjusting mechanism is configured to drive a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear via a blade adjusting operation shaft and transfers power to a split sleeve of the transmission shaft, the split sleeve is configured to transform rotary motion of the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear into linear motion to lead to an axial displacement of an axial translation disc, a rotating angle pull rod is configured to push a first translation disc in a first impeller hub to move, and the first translation disc is configured to drive a first fan blade tumbler to rotate so as to adjust the blade installation angle of a first fan blade; the first translation disc in the first impeller hub transfers power to a second translation disc in a second impeller hub and a follow-up rotating rod via a bearing and a sleeve thereof, a second fan blade tumbler is configured to rotate to adjust the angle of a second fan blade on the second impeller hub, and synchronous adjustment of two-stage blade angles is thus realized.
In some embodiments, the first impeller hub and the second impeller hub are respectively fixed with the first translation disc and the second translation disc via the follow-up rotating rods, and springs are provided for keeping the axial positions of the first translation disc and the second translation disc.
In some embodiments, the blade adjusting operation shaft is a manual adjusting mechanism or an electric adjusting mechanism arranged outside the counter-rotating axial flow fan.
In some embodiments, the first bevel gear is fixed with the blade adjusting operation shaft via a bevel gear fixing shaft, a woodruff key and a key locking sleeve.
In some embodiments, the adjusting mechanism further includes a blade adjusting indication shaft with a blade rotation dial, and the blade adjusting indication shaft is engaged with the split sleeve and a blade adjusting angle center sleeve via a gear pair to transform the axial motion of the split sleeve into the rotation of the blade adjusting indication shaft, thereby displaying the two-stage blade adjusting angles of the fan.
Based on the above solution of the present disclosure, the adjusting device adopts a mechanical structure, a manual or electric rod and a bevel gear transmission mechanism thereof transform rotary motion into linear motion, leading to a axial displacement of the axial translation disc, and the two blade angles are simultaneously changed via the rotating angle pull rod, so that air quantity and air pressure are changed, the problem of high manufacturing and maintenance cost in the existing hydraulic driving mode is solved, and the problems of complex structure and poor synchronism when the two-stage blade angles of the counter-rotating axial flow fan are adjusted by adopting a mechanical adjusting mechanism are also solved. Meanwhile, the blade adjusting mechanism is arranged inside the impeller hubs, so that the structure of the adjusting mechanism is more compact, the ventilation resistance is further reduced, the consumption of energy is also reduced while the air pressure condition is satisfied, and counter-rotating impeller ventilation equipment achieves a good energy-saving effect.
Moreover, the adjusting mechanism is additionally provided with a blade adjusting indication shaft with a blade rotation dial, thereby adjusting and displaying any angle of two-stage blades of the counter-rotating axial flow fan and further enlarging the adjusting range of the blade angles. Besides, the blade adjusting operation shaft extends out of a ventilator, so that the adjustment of the blade angles is more convenient, flexible and reliable, and the application range of the counter-rotating axial flow fan is further widened.
