For the regulation curvature of foline, make the curvature of foline leading section of large percentage of the rotary air stream that blows out from propeller type fan 6 less, it is bigger to make above-mentioned rotary air stream become the curvature of base portion of above-mentioned foline of large percentage of axial flow.In addition, though detailed content illustrates in the back, but the position that in fact forms the air mass flow maximum that blows out with above-mentioned propeller type fan 6 is near the corresponding certain curvature of blow out air stream angle of propeller type fan 6 external diameter 70-80% of the inflow axial velocity maximum of rotary air stream, also can obtain good result.
Be installed in for radial 8 and be located at the annulus frame member 11 that the guide ring ground that is installed to the blow-off outlet of being located at propeller type fan 6 with the central component 10 of the cardinal principle circle of the wheel hub position in opposite directions of propeller type fan 6 and casing 1 is provided with.In addition, above-mentioned annulus frame member 11 is used to strengthen above-mentioned radial 8, above-mentioned central component 10 not only is used to strengthen above-mentioned radial 8, and the inboard that also has the security protection grid on the axis of rotation extended line that prevents propeller type fan 6 becomes negative pressure and makes the air that blows out from propeller type fan 6 flow the effect of flowing backwards.
Concentric circles bar 9 is used to prevent that foreign matter or people's finger etc. from entering into the accident that propeller type fan 6 causes and taking place.In addition, above-mentioned concentric circles bar 9 is the center with the central component of being located at the cardinal principle circle of the wheel hub 6a position in opposite directions of propeller type fan 6 10, and annulus frame member 11 is configured to concentric circles relatively.Above-mentioned concentric circles bar 9 but also can be provided with spiral helicine pole stock respectively in the most inboard and outermost of this concentric circles bar 9 by being strengthened with radial 8 combination, this pole stock is respectively installed to central component 10 and annulus frame member 11 ground are strengthened.Only be the occasion that radial 8 is used to strengthen, also can not using section of the present invention to have the bar of regulation curvature, and be to use simple bar strip.
Concentric circles bar 9 at upstream side in order to reduce its wind-force resistance, have fillet ground at leading section and form (following occasion be called simply have fillet) at the concentric circles bar, be formed in the downstream by metal pattern and make the projection 13 (aftermentioned) that the occasion of these concentric circles bar 9 grades forms, be combined to radial 8, and the bar that will adjoin each other is configured to staggered orthogonal.
Radiation lines of the present invention are being used as radial 8 the occasion that makes up with concentric circles bar 9, above-mentioned concentric circles bar 9 is inserted upstream side position (following title upstream side) and position, downstream (to call the downstream in the following text) that the logical air from propeller type fan 6 that is arranged at this section flows with above-mentioned radial 8 the section orthogonal ground with regulation curvature, constitutes staggered.
Radial 8 occasion of using simple pole stock in combinations thereof, the axis of rotation direction orthogonal of above-mentioned concentric circles bar 9 and propeller type fan 6 and alternately be configured in radial 8 upstream side and the downstream that is made of above-mentioned pole stock constitutes staggered.
By such formation, with the axis of rotation direction orthogonal ground of existing relative simply propeller type fan 6 parallel be disposed at the concentric circles bar on the one side compare the loss less.
In addition, the outer circumferential side of radial 8 foline (guide ring 4 sides) becomes the formation that prolongs towards the upstream side of propeller type fan 6.That is, compare with interior all sides, it is big that the size of depth direction becomes.Like this, in the occasion that does not have this prolongation,, can produce rotating flow in this space though between guide ring 4 and security protection grid 20, form the space.In the present embodiment, because above-mentioned extension is set, so even for the diameter bigger than the external diameter of this propeller type fan 6, also the dynamic pressure that the rotating flow that above-mentioned propeller type fan 6 forms can be had can be reclaimed with good efficiency as static pressure.In addition,, can reduce the speed that flows into security protection grid 20 from above-mentioned propeller type fan 6 because above-mentioned space enlarges the flow path area of propeller type fan 6, so, noise can be reduced.
At security protection grid 20, can make radial 8, central component 10, annulus frame member 11, concentric circles bar 9 become one drip molding, this integrally formed blow-off outlet that is installed in the propeller type fan 6 of being located at casing 1.In addition, concentric circles bar 9, radial 8, central component 10, annulus frame member 11 also can be formed separately.
Below, the projection of staggered concentric circles bar is described with reference to Fig. 3.Fig. 3 is the key diagram of air stream of security protection grid of the outdoor unit of air conditioner of an embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 3 (a) is the side sectional drawing of a form of implementation of outdoor unit of air conditioner of the present invention, the key diagram of the air rheologyization that Fig. 3 (b) causes for the projection on the concentric circles bar of the outdoor unit of air conditioner of prior art, Fig. 3 (c) is the key diagram that is configured to the air that the convexes to form stream on the staggered concentric circles bar of Fig. 3 (a).
Shown in Fig. 3 (a), constitute concentric circles bar 9 and radial 8 in one, be positioned at its central authorities and to its central component that supports 10 and be positioned at the occasion of the annulus frame member 11 that is used to strengthen of the outer edge side of above-mentioned radial 8 and concentric circles bar 9, when making, form protruding 13 by metal pattern.
In the prior art, shown in Fig. 3 (b), considering that outward appearance is formed on projection 13 can not be from the upstream side of the concentric circles bar of seeing previously 9 of security protection grid 20.In the present invention, like that, above-mentioned protruding 13 be formed on can be from the downstream of the concentric circles bar of seeing previously 9 of security protection grid 20 shown in Fig. 3 (c).Above-mentioned protruding 13 can formed by metal pattern integral production concentric circles bar 9, radial 8, the occasion of central component 10, annulus frame member 11, also can form in interior occasion of partly being made by metal pattern comprising the concentric circles bar.
Below, be the explanation action of the outdoor unit of air conditioner of formation like this in center with reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 with the security protection grid.
At first, the mobile variation during particularly by concentric circles bar 9 by security protection grid 20 of the fluid that blows out from propeller type fan 6 is described.
Shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 (a), Fig. 2 (b), when off-premises station 30 made propeller type fan 6 courts be turned round by clockwise direction shown in the solid arrow Q in the driving by fan motor 3, air was inhaled into the heat exchanger 2 in the off-premises station 30, carries out blowing out after the heat exchange.The air that blows out is inhaled into propeller type fan 6.Above-mentioned propeller type fan 6 comparatively safe protective grille blow out this inhaled air stream.Like this, air from the left of solid arrow P to flowing towards right.
Such shown in Fig. 3 (a), Fig. 3 (b), Fig. 3 (c), on concentric circles bar 9 relatively from the left that blows out to flowing towards the right flow air, at this moment, concentric circles bar 9 at Fig. 3 of prior art (b), because the projection 13 that forms during with these concentric circles bar 9 grades of the integrated making of metal pattern is in the upstream side of above-mentioned concentric circles bar 9, so the air flow circuit that above-mentioned concentric circles bar is 9 diminishes, its flow path width b narrows down.For the concentric circles bar 9 of Fig. 3 of the present invention (c), because above-mentioned protruding 13 downstreams that are in above-mentioned concentric circles bar 9, so, can increase the air flow circuit of 9 of this concentric circles bars of adjacency, so this flow path width b broadens.
In Fig. 3 of prior art (b) is shown, projection 13 upstream sides at concentric circles bar 9, cause peeling off on the surface of this concentric circles bar 9 from the air stream of propeller type fan 6, the stripping area S that illustrates above-mentioned concentric circles bar 9 downstreams becomes big, and air flow circuit narrows down by the flow path width b of area.
Like that, by projection 13 being constituted segmentation shape backward, thereby the stripping area S from the air stream of propeller type fan 6 diminishes on the surface of concentric circles bar 9, can increase the flow path width b that air flow circuit passes through area shown in Fig. 3 (c) in the present invention.
In the occasion of the same air quantity of supposition by both security protection grids 20, become staggered concentric circles bar 9 for the arranged radially along propeller type fan 6 of the present invention, compare with the existing concentric circles bar 9 that is arranged in parallel, it is big that flow path width b becomes, thereby speed is correspondingly reduced.The pressure loss of above-mentioned concentric circles bar 9 is because proportional with about 2 powers of wind speed, so, become staggered by radial arrangement along propeller type fan 6, can reduce energy loss at the security protection grid, increase air quantity.
In addition, by staggered, can when impacting above-mentioned concentric circles bar 9, the air that blows out from above-mentioned propeller type fan 6 stream change the phase place of time along radially concentric circles bar 9 being arranged in of propeller type fan 6.Like this, can reduce the noise of discrete frequency composition.
Below, flow into security protection grid 20 with reference to Fig. 4 explanation from propeller type fan 6 and particularly flow into radial 8 the rotating flow of air stream and the relation of axial flow.Fig. 4 is the rotating flow of air stream of security protection grid of outdoor unit of air conditioner of an embodiment of the present invention and the key diagram of axial flow, Fig. 4 (a) is the air stream of the security protection grid that flow into outdoor unit of air conditioner of the present invention and the key diagram of the relation of axial flow, and Fig. 4 (b) is the A-A sectional drawing of Fig. 4 (a).
Shown in Fig. 4 (a), have radial 8 of regulation curvature, and the security protection grid that becomes staggered concentric circles bar 9 etc. to constitute along the arranged radially of propeller type fan 6, Cm in the configuration of the downstream of propeller type fan 6 by the guide ring 4 that the air stream that blows out from this propeller type fan 6 is guided, the section that imports this air that blows out stream
1The distribution of the inflow axial flow speed that flow into security protection grid 20 is shown.The axis of rotation direction of the above-mentioned relatively propeller type fan 6 of this leaked-in air stream is parallel, and its air quantity becomes maximum at the 70-80% place of the external diameter of above-mentioned propeller type fan 6.Therefore, also can make radial 8 the regulation curvature of section corresponding with this point.

1Because for meeting at right angles, the gyroaxis direction of relative propeller type fan 6 is circumferential composition, so, irrelevant with air quantity, only be to make the air rotation.When its not successfully when axially turning to, the produce power loss.In the downstream of propeller type fan 6, the dynamic pressure that this rotation composition has can produce loss, so, cause the decrease in efficiency of fan.
Below, the rotating flow that the air that is produced by propeller type fan 6 with reference to Fig. 5 explanation flows and the conversion of axial flow.Fig. 5 is in the expansion key diagram of the barrel surface of predetermined radius for the relative propeller type fan axis of rotation of the outdoor unit of air conditioner of an embodiment of the present invention.Fig. 5 (a) is the B-B sectional drawing of Fig. 4 (a), and Fig. 5 (b) is the C-C sectional drawing of Fig. 4 (a).Shown in Fig. 5 (a), 5 (b), to the upstream side indexing 1 of security protection grid 20, to downstream indexing 2.
Shown in Fig. 5 (a), from flowing promptly that rotating propeller type fan 6 blows out towards radial 8 inflow velocity C
