The utility model provides a vortex ring generating device 100.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 to 5, the vortex ring generator 100 includes a housing 110, an airflow pushing assembly 120, a roller assembly 130 and a driving device 140. The casing 110 includes an air duct 111 and a flow collecting member 112, one end of the air duct 111 is provided with an air outlet 111a, the flow collecting member 112 is mounted at the air outlet 111a, the flow collecting member 112 is provided with an air supply outlet 112a communicated with the air duct 111, and an air passing area of the air supply outlet 112a is smaller than that of the air outlet 111 a. The airflow pushing assembly 120 is movably disposed in the housing 110. The roller assembly 130 is mounted to one of the airflow pushing assembly 120 and the housing 110 and is in rolling engagement with the other of the airflow pushing assembly 120 and the housing 110 such that the airflow pushing assembly 120 can move in the axial direction of the housing 110. The driving device 140 is used to drive the airflow pushing assembly 120 to reciprocate in the housing 110, so as to periodically push the airflow to be blown out from the air blowing opening 112 a.

In this embodiment, the inner cavity of the housing 110 forms a vortex ring air duct, and the shape of the housing 110 may be a straight cylinder shape or a bent cylinder shape, and the cross section thereof may be a rectangular shape, a circular shape, an oval shape, a polygonal shape, an irregular shape, and the like, which is not limited herein. The overall shape and the cross-sectional shape of the vortex ring air duct can be selected according to the use requirement, and are not particularly limited herein. The overall shape of the airflow pushing assembly 120 is substantially matched with the shape of the inner cavity of the housing 110, and the size of the airflow pushing assembly 120 is slightly smaller than the cross-sectional size of the inner cavity of the housing 110, so that the airflow pushing assembly 120 can move in the housing 110 along the axial direction thereof. The airflow pushing assembly 120 is axially movable within the air duct 111. The airflow pushing assembly 120 may be a piston, a push plate, or a combination of a push plate and a film disposed on the periphery of the push plate, and only needs to push the airflow in the casing 110, so that the air supply opening 112a blows out the vortex ring, and the structure of the airflow pushing assembly 120 is not specifically limited herein. In order to facilitate the movement of the airflow pushing member 120 to the side away from the air supply opening 112a, ventilation openings may be formed in the bottom wall of the air duct 111 or the side wall adjacent to the bottom wall.

The shapes of the outlet 111a and the outlet 112a may be circular, rectangular, elliptical, polygonal, or the like. The air duct 111 is substantially cylindrical. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the flow collecting piece 112 is a flow collecting cover, and the flow collecting cover is tapered from the air outlet 111a to the air blowing outlet 112 a. The cross-sectional shape of the manifold can be circular, oval, rectangular, etc. In order to reduce wind resistance, the collecting cover is substantially cylindrical. By providing the collecting cover with a taper from the air outlet 111a to the air blowing port 112a, the collecting cover can collect the air blown out from the air outlet 111a, and the generation and blowing of the vortex ring can be made smoother.

In another embodiment, the collecting member 112 is a collecting plate, and the collecting plate is installed at the air outlet 111a and is provided with an air inlet 112 a. The collecting plate may be a single plate covering the outlet 111a, and the flow-guiding plate may be provided with the outlet 112a smaller than the outlet 111a, so that when the air flow is blown out from the outlet 111a to the outlet 112a, the air flow blown out from the outlet 112a can be made into a vortex shape due to a partial blocking effect of the collecting plate. And the collector plate has simple structure and is easy to manufacture and process. In other embodiments, the collecting member 112 may be formed by enclosing several plates, and the formation of the vortex ring may be also achieved by providing the air blowing port 112a on one of the plates. The current collector 112 may also be formed by a combination of a current collector plate and a current collector cup,

the collecting member 112 and the air duct 111 may be integrally formed or may be separately formed. It can be understood that when the collecting member 112 is formed separately from the air duct 111, the collecting member 112 is hermetically connected to the air duct 111. When the collecting cover is integrally formed with the air duct 111, a virtual boundary is defined by a boundary at a junction between the air duct 111 and the collecting member 112, one side of the boundary is the air duct 111, the other side is the collecting member 112, and an air outlet 111a of the air duct 111 is formed at the boundary. Clearly, the air outlet 111a has an air passing area larger than that of the air supply outlet 112a of the collecting member 112. The extension directions of the outer wall surfaces of the collecting piece 112 and the air duct 111 can be the same, that is, the length extension lines of the outer wall surfaces of the collecting piece and the air duct are in a straight line, and at the moment, the vortex ring air supply part is in a complete shape without a patch cord. The extending directions of the collecting piece 112 and the outer wall surface of the air duct 111 may be different, that is, the length extending lines of the outer wall surfaces of the collecting piece 112 and the air duct 111 form an included angle, and at this time, a junction line is formed at the junction of the collecting piece 112 and the air duct 111.

Since the air flow passing through the air outlet 111a is smaller than the air flow passing through the air outlet 111a, part of the air flow flowing from the air outlet 111a to the air outlet 112a flows along the inner wall surface of the collecting member 112 and then flows out from the periphery of the air outlet 112a, and the other part of the air flow flows out from the middle of the air outlet 112 a. The partial flow flowing out from the edge of the air blowing opening 112a is defined as edge flow, and the flow flowing out from the center of the air blowing opening 112a is positioned as center flow. Then, the edge flow is subjected to resistance by the inner wall surface of the manifold 112. The flow velocity is lower compared to the middle stream. This difference in flow velocity causes a vortex ring airflow to be generated when the airflow exits the supply opening 112 a. Under the same air quantity, the mode of vortex ring air supply can realize directional, fixed-point and remote air supply. And the vortex ring exchanges heat with ambient air in the transmission process, the temperature difference between the temperature of the vortex ring and the ambient air is not large, so that the vortex ring cannot generate obvious supercooling or overheating feeling when being blown on a person, and the comfort is improved.

It is understood that the roller assembly 130 includes one or more rollers 131 to effect rolling, but of course, the roller assembly 130 may include a plurality of balls to effect rolling. The roller 131 or ball bearing may be directly mounted on the airflow pushing assembly 120 or the housing 110, or may be mounted through a roller 131 mounting seat. The roller assembly 130 and the airflow pushing assembly 120 or the housing 110 may be detachably mounted, such as clamped, screwed, and the like, or may be fixedly connected, such as welded, riveted, and the like. When the roller assembly 130 is mounted on the airflow pushing assembly 120, the roller assembly 130 is in rolling fit with the inner wall surface of the housing 110, and the airflow pushing assembly 120 is in rolling connection with the housing 110 through the roller assembly 130. That is, the airflow pushing assembly 120 can roll within the housing 110 in the axial direction of the housing 110. Therefore, on one hand, since the friction between the airflow pushing assembly 120 and the casing 110 is rolling friction, compared with the sliding friction between the periphery of the airflow pushing assembly 120 and the casing 110, the friction force is greatly reduced, the sliding friction is converted into rolling friction, and the movement noise is reduced, so that the overall movement noise of the vortex ring generating device 100 is low; on the other hand, since the circumferential direction of the airflow pushing assembly 120 is in contact with the inner wall surface of the housing 110 through the roller assembly 130, the roller assembly 130 can also play a role in guiding the axial movement of the airflow pushing assembly 120, so that the sliding friction between the guide bar and the housing 110 is converted into rolling friction compared with the guiding through the guide bar, and the noise is further reduced.

When the roller assembly 130 is mounted on the housing 110, a plurality of rows of rollers 131 or balls may be disposed on the housing 110 corresponding to the moving stroke of the airflow pushing assembly 120, each row of rollers 131 or balls is distributed along the circumferential direction of the housing 110 at intervals, and a gap between two adjacent rows of balls or balls is smaller than or equal to the thickness of the airflow pushing assembly 120, so that when the airflow pushing assembly 120 moves along the axial direction of the housing 110, rolling friction is generated between the airflow pushing assembly 120 and the housing 110, and the airflow pushing assembly 120 is prevented from being clamped between two adjacent rows of rollers 131 or balls.

The structure of the driving device 140 may be various. In one embodiment, the driving device 140 includes an electromagnetic driving element 141 and a push rod, one end of which is connected to the airflow pushing assembly 120, and the other end of which is connected to the electromagnetic driving element 141. The push rod is driven to reciprocate by the on/off of the electromagnetic driving element 141, so as to drive the push plate to reciprocate between the air supply opening 112a and the ventilation opening. In another embodiment, the driving device 140 includes a driving motor, a gear and a rack engaged with each other, one end of the rack is connected to the airflow pushing assembly 120, and the driving motor drives the gear to drive the rack to move, thereby driving the airflow pushing assembly 120 to reciprocate. It is also possible that the motor drives the airflow pushing assembly 120 to move only to the side far away from the air supply opening 112a, and the elastic resetting piece 144 is used to reset the airflow pushing assembly 120 to move to the side near the air supply opening 112 a. In yet another embodiment, the driving device 140 includes a driving motor, a worm ring and a worm screw engaged with each other, one end of the worm screw is connected to the push plate, and the other end is connected to a worm wheel, and the worm wheel is fixedly installed with a driving shaft of the driving motor. The worm is driven to reciprocate by the driving motor to drive the worm to reciprocate, so as to drive the push plate to reciprocate between the air supply outlet 112a and the scavenging port. In another embodiment, the driving device 140 includes a driving motor, an eccentric wheel disposed on the driving motor, and a connecting rod having one end connected to a rotating shaft of the eccentric wheel and the other end connected to the push plate. Therefore, the connecting rod can drive the push plate to move back and forth.

When the vortex ring airflow needs to be pushed out, the driving device 140 drives the push plate to move towards the ventilation opening side, so that the air in the housing 1101 is discharged from the ventilation opening, then the driving device 140 drives the airflow pushing assembly 120 to rapidly move towards the side of the air supply opening 112a, the airflow pushing assembly 120 pushes the airflow to be rapidly blown out from the air supply opening 112a, and the vortex ring airflow can be blown out from the air supply opening 112a by enabling the air passing area of the air supply opening 112a to be smaller than the air passing area of the air outlet 111 a. This cycle is repeated, and the vortex ring airflow can be periodically blown out from the air blowing port 112 a.

The utility model discloses vortex ring generating device 100 is through making the overfire air area of supply-air outlet 112a be less than the overfire air area of air outlet 111a, and in airflow promoted subassembly 120 movably located casing 110, drive arrangement 140 drive airflow promoted subassembly 120 along casing 110's axial reciprocating motion in casing 110 to periodic promotion air current is seen off from supply-air outlet 112 a. The vortex ring airflow can be periodically output from the air supply opening 112a, and directional, fixed-point and remote air supply can be realized. Meanwhile, the airflow pushing assembly 120 may be moved in the axial direction of the housing 110 by having the roller assembly 130 mounted to one of the airflow pushing assembly 120 and the housing 110 and in rolling engagement with the other of the airflow pushing assembly 120 and the housing 110. The airflow pushing assembly 120 rolls relatively in the housing 110, so that the guiding and contacting friction force is reduced while the airflow pushing assembly 120 is guided and moved along the axial direction of the housing 110, thereby effectively reducing the noise of the vortex ring generating apparatus 100.

In practical applications, referring to fig. 2 to 5, the airflow pushing assembly 120 includes a push plate, a plurality of sets of roller assemblies 130 are disposed at intervals in a circumferential direction of the push plate, and the airflow pushing assembly 120 is connected to an inner wall surface of the housing 110 in a rolling manner through the roller assemblies 130. Specifically, the number of the roller assemblies 130 may be two, three, four, five, six, etc. The plurality of groups of roller assemblies 130 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the push plate at intervals, so that the airflow pushing assembly 120 is more stably contacted with the shell 110, and the airflow pushing assembly 120 is prevented from radially deviating in the axial moving process. That is, the plurality of roller assemblies 130 guide the airflow pushing assembly 120, and make the axial movement of the airflow pushing assembly 120 smoother and smoother.

Specifically, the number of the roller assemblies 130 is three or more, and the plurality of sets of roller assemblies 130 are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the push plate. Through making the quantity of roller assemblies 130 be three groups at least, and make the circumference evenly distributed of multiunit roller assemblies 130 along the push pedal for the atress of push pedal is more even, further improves the stationarity of push pedal when axial displacement.

In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, 8 and 9, the inner wall surface of the air duct 111 is provided with a moving platform 111b extending along the axial direction thereof, the moving platform 111b is provided with a moving plane, the roller assembly 130 includes a plurality of rollers 131, and the plurality of rollers 131 are arranged to roll against the moving plane.

In this embodiment, the movable platform 111b may be integrally formed with the air duct 111, or may be formed separately from the air duct 111, and the movable platform 111b may be fixed to the inner wall surface of the air duct 111 by means of bonding, screwing, or the like. In this case, the movable platform 111b and the air duct 111 may be made of the same material or different materials. It can be understood that the plurality of rollers 131 of the roller assembly 130 are substantially equal in size and are located on the same plane, thereby ensuring rolling smoothness of the roller assembly 130 on the moving plane of the moving platform 111 b. Through set up along its axial extension's moving platform 111b on the internal wall face of dryer 111 for a plurality of gyro wheels 131 of roller subassembly 130 move on moving platform 111b, compare in that gyro wheel 131 directly moves on the curved surface of dryer 111, can guarantee the mobility stationarity of the relative casing 110 of roller subassembly 130, and make the removal of roller subassembly 130 more smooth and easy. In the embodiment where the roller assemblies 130 have a plurality of sets, the inner wall surface of the housing 110 is provided with a moving platform 111b corresponding to each set of roller assemblies 130. Specifically, referring to fig. 2 to 10, the number of the rollers 131 of each group of roller assemblies 130 may be two, three, four, etc. The plurality of rollers 131 simultaneously move in the same direction when the airflow pushing assembly 120 moves.

The movable platform 111b and the roller 131 may be made of various materials. In one embodiment, the movable platform 111b is made of a hard material and the outer surface of the roller 131 is made of a hard material. In another embodiment, the moving platform 111b is made of a hard material and the outer surface of the roller 131 is made of a soft material. In yet another embodiment, the moving platform 111b is made of a soft material and the outer surface of the roller 131 is made of a hard material. In yet another embodiment; the moving platform 111b is made of a soft material, and the outer surface of the roller 131 is made of a soft material. The hard material may be wood, metal, hard plastic, etc. The soft material can be silica gel, rubber, etc. By making at least one of the outer wall surfaces of the movable platform 111b and the roller 131 made of a hard material, the wear resistance can be improved, and the service life can be prolonged. At least one of the outer wall surfaces of the moving platform 111b and the roller 131 is made of a soft material, so that the roller assembly 130 generates less noise when moving. In other embodiments, the outer wall surfaces of the movable platform 111b and the roller 131 may be adhered or coated with soft or hard materials to meet the use requirements.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 to 5 and 10, the roller assembly 130 is movable in a radial direction of the airflow pushing assembly 120. The vortex ring generator 100 further includes an adjusting assembly 120, one end of the adjusting assembly 120 abuts against the airflow pushing assembly 120, and the other end abuts against the roller assembly 130, so as to adjust the moving distance of the roller assembly 130 and enable the roller assembly 130 to roll against the inner wall surface of the housing 110.
