Description

  The present invention relates to a fan device for separating a mist from an air flow including oil mist and causing the air flow separated from the mist to flow in an axial flow direction.

Conventionally, a ring-shaped plate portion whose central portion is an opening into which gas containing oil mist flows in front of a disk portion fixed to a motor shaft is opposed to the ring-shaped plate portion and the disk portion. A plurality of blades with a letter shape in front view are laid radially between them, and an air current flowing from the opening of the ring-shaped plate part flows between the letter-shaped blades adjacent to each other in the rotation direction and is included in the air current 2. Description of the Related Art A baffle flow path for oil mist separation that is bent in a substantially square shape for separating oil mist by a baffle effect is known. (For example, see Patent Document 1)
However, in the conventional example shown in Patent Document 1, the airflow flowing from the opening of the ring-shaped plate portion flows through the baffle flow path bent in a substantially square shape, so that the oil contained in the airflow The mist can be effectively separated by the baffle effect, but the direction in which the air flow separating the oil mist exits and the direction in which the separated oil mist is blown off by centrifugal force are the same direction (centrifugal force direction) Therefore, there is a problem that the separated oil mist rides on the airflow and re-scatters, and there is a problem that the overall oil mist capturing efficiency is not so high. For this reason, in the past, in order to compensate for this, it is also known that a thin film filter is disposed downstream of the fan to capture the re-scattered oil mist (see Patent Document 2). In this case, since the thin film filter is passed, not only the air flow is reduced, but the thin film filter is easily clogged, and there is a problem that the air flow is further reduced in this respect.

  In addition, a ring-shaped plate portion whose center portion is an opening through which airflow flows is opposed to the front of the disk portion fixed to the motor shaft, and the front-viewed character is between the ring-shaped plate portion and the disk portion. A plurality of radially shaped blades are installed in a radial manner, and the outer portion of the disk-shaped bent portion protrudes outward from the outer peripheral end of the disk portion, and the outer side of the bent portion of the blade bent in the character-shaped manner. Patent Document 3 discloses a fan device in which a portion is twisted with respect to an inner portion of a bent portion and inclined so that a front end and a rear end of an outer portion of the bent portion are displaced with respect to the rotation direction.

  In this Patent Document 3, a gas containing oil mist is sucked from the opening of the ring-shaped plate portion and flows along the blades. At this time, the gas flows between the inner portions of the square blades. While the gas is deflected at the bent part, the gas collides with the outer part of the blade and the oil mist is separated from the gas. The aggregate of oil mist that is heavier than the gas is caused by the centrifugal force of the fan behind the outer part of the blade. The air is blown from the edge toward the outer periphery of the fan, and the gas is guided by the outer portion of the blade and sent backward. That is, in this conventional example, the direction in which the wind flows out and the direction in which the oil mist is blown are different, so that a higher baffle effect can be obtained as compared with Patent Document 1 described above.

However, in the fan device of Patent Document 3, the outer portion of the bent portion of the square-shaped blade is protruded outward from the outer peripheral end of the disk portion, and oil mist is applied to the outer portion of the rectangular blade. Since the oil mist is separated from the gas by the baffle effect by colliding the contained gas, it is necessary to increase the baffle effect in the outer part of the square blades in order to increase the oil mist capture efficiency is there. However, when the baffle effect is increased, there is a drawback that the flow resistance of the wind increases and the air volume decreases. For example, in order to increase the baffle effect in the outer portion of the square blade, the outer portion of the square blade in a side view and a line parallel to the motor shaft passing through the front end of the outer portion are formed. The smaller the angle, the greater the resistance and the greater the baffle effect.However, the smaller the angle, the smaller the air volume, and it is necessary to increase the fan power to obtain the required air volume. There was a problem in terms of energy saving.

  The present invention was invented in view of the above-described conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fan device having a high air volume and high oil mist capturing efficiency.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the fan device according to the present invention is a ring-shaped plate portion in which a central portion is an opening portion 3 into which a gas containing oil mist flows in front of a disc portion 2 fixed to the motor shaft 1. 4 are arranged opposite to each other, and a plurality of blades 5 are radiated between the ring-shaped plate portion 4 and the disc portion 2 so as to extend outward from the outer end portion of the square-shaped baffle piece portion 6 having a square shape when viewed from the front. A region in which the screw piece portion 7 is provided via the bent portion 8 to constitute the blade 5 and the square baffle piece portion 6 of the blade 5 is covered with the ring-shaped plate portion 4 and the disc portion 2 in the front-rear direction. A gas containing oil mist flowing from the opening 3 of the ring-shaped plate portion 4 between the cross-section baffle pieces 6 of the blades 5 adjacent to each other in the rotation direction is constructed so as to have a substantially square shape when viewed from the front. Oil mist bent in a substantially square shape for separating oil mist contained in gas by baffle effect The baffle flow path 9 for separation is formed, and the front and rear sides of the screw piece portion 7 outside the outer bent portion 8 of the blade 5 are respectively larger in diameter than the outer end of the ring-shaped plate portion 4 and the outer end of the disc portion 2. Projecting outward in the direction, the screw piece portion 7 is bent in the rotational direction in front view, and inclined so that the rear end is located on the outer side in the radial direction from the front end of the outer bent portion 8 in side view, Or it is made to incline so that the front end may be located in the diameter direction outside rather than the rear end of the outside bending part 8 in a side view.

  By adopting such a configuration, when the gas containing oil mist flowing in from the opening 3 of the ring-shaped plate portion 4 passes through the baffle flow path 9 bent in a substantially letter-like shape, the letter-like baffle piece. The oil mist is separated from the gas by the baffle effect of the portion 6, and the gas from which the oil mist has been separated by passing through the baffle channel 9 in this way is bent in the rotation direction in the front view and bent outward in the side view. The screw piece portion 7 is inclined so that the rear end is located radially outside the front end of the portion 8 or the front end is located radially outside the rear end of the outer bent portion 8 in a side view. The gas flows in the axial direction while changing the direction from the direction in which the centrifugal force acts (hereinafter referred to as the centrifugal direction) to the axial direction while being guided by the inner surface of the gas. The isolated oil mist is The oil separated from the gas by being collided with the square baffle piece 6 bent into a square shape when passing through the baffle flow path 9 while being blown in the centrifugal direction by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the cylinder 10 Since the mist is heavier than the gas, it moves along the surface of the square baffle piece 6 by centrifugal force, passes through the outer bent portion 8, and along the inner surface of the screw piece portion 7 by the centrifugal force. It moves to an edge and is blown away in the centrifugal direction by centrifugal force from the side edge of the screw piece 7. As a result, the flow direction of the gas from which the oil mist is separated in the baffle flow path 9 and the direction in which the oil mist separated in the baffle flow path 9 is blown are different. When the gas discharge direction is different from the direction in which the oil mist is blown by using the inner surface portion of the screw piece portion 7 as a guide surface in this way, the screw piece portion 7 Since the oil mist is separated from the gas in the upstream baffle channel 9, there is no need for the screw piece 7 to function as a baffle plate, and the wind flow resistance in the screw piece 7 is reduced to increase the air volume. As a result, a fan device with high airflow and high oil mist capture efficiency is provided. It is those that can Rukoto.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the screw piece part 7 is made into a curved-surface shape so that it may become circular arc shape in side view.

  By adopting such a configuration, even if the flow resistance of the wind at the screw piece 7 is reduced and the air volume is increased, the oil mist capturing efficiency is not lowered, and the oil mist capturing efficiency is high. Can be high.

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to provide a fan device having a high air volume and high oil mist capturing efficiency.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the fan device A according to the present invention includes a fan 10, a motor 14, a main body base 18, a fan cover 19 that covers the fan 10, and a motor cover 15 that covers the motor. It is configured.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the fan 10 has a ring shape in which a central portion is an opening 3 into which a gas containing oil mist flows in front of a disc portion 2 fixed to the motor shaft 1 of the motor 14. A plurality of blades 5 are arranged in a radial manner between the ring-shaped plate portion 4 and the disc portion 2 with the plate portions 4 arranged to face each other. The blade 5 is as shown in FIG. 4, and is configured by providing a screw piece portion 7 through an outer bent portion 8 at an outer end portion of a square-shaped baffle piece portion 6 having a square shape when viewed from the front. . The U-shaped baffle piece 6 is formed by forming an inner piece 11 and an outer piece 12 in a square shape when viewed from the front via an inner bent portion 13, and the outer bent portion 8 is formed from the outer end of the outer piece 12. Thus, as described above, the screw piece 7 is bent integrally and continuously.

  The blade 5 having the above-described configuration is substantially square-shaped when viewed from the front in a region in which the above-described square-shaped baffle piece 6 portion is covered by the ring-shaped plate portion 4 and the disc-shaped portion 2. An oil mist separating baffle passage 9 is provided between the piece-like baffle pieces 6 adjacent to each other in the rotational direction and bent in a substantially letter-like shape when viewed from the front. The front and rear of the screw piece portion 7 outside the outer bent portion 8 of the blade 5 protrude outward in the radial direction from the outer end of the ring-shaped plate portion 4 and the outer end of the disc portion 2, respectively. 7 is bent in the rotational direction when viewed from the front, and is further inclined so that the rear end is positioned radially outside the front end of the outer bent portion 8 when viewed from the side (that is, as shown in FIG. 3). The screw piece 7 and the line L parallel to the motor shaft 1 passing through the front end of the screw piece 7 are formed so as to have an angle α in side view). Moreover, the screw piece part 7 is formed in the curved surface shape so that it may become circular arc shape in side view.

  The motor 14 having the disk portion 2 of the fan 10 fixed to the motor shaft 1 as described above is surrounded by the motor cover 15, and the motor 14 is supported and fixed to the motor cover 15 by the motor support member 16. A plurality of mounting members 17 project radially from the front end of the outer peripheral portion of the motor cover 15, and the mounting members 17 are fixed to the inner peripheral portion of the main body base 18 having a large opening at the center portion. A motor cover 15 that supports the motor 14 is supported and fixed. A rear end portion of the fan cover 19 is fixed to the outer peripheral portion of the front surface portion of the main body base 18, and the ring-shaped plate portion 4, the disc portion 2, and the blades 5 are covered by the fan cover 19. The fan cover 19 is provided with an opening 20 in the center of the front surface. The opening 20 of the fan cover 19 is in close proximity to the opening 3 of the ring-shaped plate portion 4 inside. A gas containing oil mist flows from 20 into the opening 3 of the ring-shaped plate portion 4. An oil discharge hole 21 is provided in the lower end portion of the fan cover 19 and the main body base 18.

  The main body base 18 is attached to, for example, a front end portion (indoor side end portion) of a wall mounting frame 24 attached to a hole portion 23 of a building wall 22, and the front end opening portion of the outdoor side hood 25 is attached to the wall mounting frame 24. The exhaust port 26 is opened on the lower surface of the outdoor hood 25.

  When the fan device A is used by being attached to the wall 22 as described above, it may be used alone, but an oil mist removing device 27 is disposed on the upstream side of the fan device A as shown in FIG. You may use as the fan apparatus A of the oil mist removal apparatus 27. FIG. The oil mist removing device 27 has a grease filter 29 attached to an opening provided in the front surface of the chamber 28, a rear end portion of the chamber 28 is attached to the wall 22, and the fan cover 19 extends from the rear opening of the chamber 28 to the chamber. 28. The lower end portion of the chamber 28 is a dish-like portion 30, and the oil and fat flows from the lower end portion of the fan cover 19 and the oil and fat discharge hole 21 provided in the main body base 18. The oil reservoir 32 is connected to the bottom via a pipe 31.

  Thus, by rotating the motor 14 and rotating the fan 10 (the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2 is the direction of rotation of the fan 10), the gas containing oil mist generated in the kitchen passes through the grease filter 29. Into the chamber 28. In this case, the oil mist in the gas is removed when passing through the grease filter 29. However, the oil mist is not completely removed and part of the oil mist is contained in the gas without being separated from the gas. The oil flows from the opening 20 of the cover 19 into the baffle channel 9 for oil mist separation bent in a square shape through the opening 3 of the ring-shaped plate portion 4. The gas containing oil mist flowing from the opening 3 of the ring-shaped plate portion 4 collides with the outer piece 12 of the character-shaped baffle piece 6 when passing through the baffle channel 9 bent in a substantially character-like shape. The oil mist is separated from the gas by the baffle effect. The gas from which the oil mist has been separated by passing through the baffle channel 9 in this way is bent in the rotational direction in front view, and the rear end is located radially outside the front end of the outer bent portion 8 in side view. While being guided by the inner surface of the screw piece portion 7 that is inclined, the direction of flow is changed from the centrifugal direction to the axial flow direction as indicated by the arrow A in FIGS. 3 and 5 and flows in the axial flow direction. On the other hand, the oil mist separated from the gas when passing through the baffle flow path 9 is blown away in the centrifugal direction by centrifugal force. Since the oil mist separated from the gas by colliding with the piece 6 is heavier than the gas, the oil mist moves along the surface of the square baffle piece 6 due to centrifugal force, passes through the outer bent portion 8, and the screw piece 7. It moves to the side edge of the screw piece part 7 by centrifugal force along the inner surface of the screw, and is blown in the centrifugal direction from the side edge of the screw piece part 7 by the centrifugal force as shown by the arrow b in FIGS. become.

  As described above, the oil mist is separated and removed, the direction of the oil is changed in the axial flow direction, and the gas flowing rearward from the fan 10 as shown by the arrow B flows into the outdoor hood 25 and is exhausted to the outside through the exhaust port 26. .

  On the other hand, the oil mist blown by the centrifugal force from the side edge of the screw piece 7 of the fan 10 collides with the inner surface of the fan cover 19 and flows down along the inner surface of the fan cover 19. The oil flows from the oil / fat discharge hole 21 provided in the lower end portion and the main body base 18 to the dish-like portion 30 at the lower end portion of the chamber 28, and further flows through the pipe 31 and accumulates in the oil sump 32.

  When the gas containing oil mist is exhausted by the fan device A as described above, the oil mist is separated from the gas by the fan 10 portion of the fan device A, and the separated oil mist is scattered away from the fan 10. By making the direction different from the direction in which the gas flows away from the fan 10, the oil mist separated from the gas and scattered from the fan 10 is prevented from being discharged on the gas flow again. It is trying to increase the capture efficiency. Here, in the fan device A of the present invention, the oil mist contained in the gas flowing in from the opening 3 of the ring-shaped plate portion 4 is mainly formed between the adjacent baffle pieces 6 adjacent to each other. The gas is separated from the gas by the baffle effect when passing through the baffle flow path 9 bent in a shape, and therefore, the flow of wind flows through the screw piece 7 outside the square baffle piece 6 of the blade 5. There is no restriction that the oil mist must be separated from the gas by the baffle by increasing the resistance. For this reason, the screw piece portion 7 reduces the wind flow resistance, so that the screw piece portion 7 in a side view shown in FIG. Even if the angle α formed by the line L parallel to the motor shaft 1 passing through the front end portion of the screw piece 7 is increased to increase the air volume, the oil mist capturing efficiency in the fan 10 is reduced. Accordingly, in the present invention, the screw piece 7 causes the separated oil mist to be scattered in the centrifugal direction by centrifugal force without considering the baffle performance for oil mist separation, and the gas is discharged. The design may be made in consideration of simultaneously increasing the air volume while changing the direction from the centrifugal direction to the axial flow direction. As already described, the screw piece portion 7 may be formed in a curved shape so as to have an arc shape in a side view, and the air volume may be increased.

  Thus, in the present invention, the air volume can be increased without reducing the oil mist capturing efficiency.

  In addition, the baffle flow path 9 bent in the front-view-shaped baffle piece portion 6 formed between the square-shaped baffle pieces 6 having the front-view shape is formed in a wide-angle shape with a wide entrance at the baffle flow path 9. If the gas flow velocity is increased at the bent portion of the baffle flow path 9 by making it narrower as it goes to the bent portion, the gas containing oil mist becomes a letter immediately after the flow velocity becomes maximum. Since the blade 5 suddenly collides with the outer piece 12 of the baffle piece 6 and changes direction, the blade 5 is rotated at high speed, so that the outer piece 12 is efficiently baffled and the oil mist is separated and captured from the gas. Therefore, it is preferable.

  7 and 8 show another embodiment of the present invention. In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the screw piece portion 7 in the fan 10 is inclined so that the rear end is located on the outer side in the radial direction with respect to the front end of the outer bent portion 8 in a side view is shown in FIG. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the screw piece portion 7 in the fan 10 is inclined so that the front end is located on the outer side in the radial direction from the rear end of the outer bent portion 8 in a side view. The configuration is the same as that of the fan 10 of the embodiment, and the effect is the same as that of the above embodiment. In the present embodiment, the gas from which the oil mist has been separated is guided by the screw piece 7 and flows forward (axial direction) from the front end of the screw piece 7 as shown in FIGS. The gas that has flowed forward strikes the front piece of the fan cover 19 as shown by the arrows in FIGS. 7 and 8, changes its direction, flows to the outdoor hood 25, and is exhausted to the outside through the exhaust port 26.
