Please refer to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, duct assembly 17 comprises the connecting pipe 170 that links to each other with blowing pipe 19, the duct 171 that links to each other with housing 11, and motor 172 and fan 173, motor 172 is connected with control assembly 14 on the wire The trigger 140 is connected, the connecting pipe 170 and the channel 171 are engaged with each other, the connecting pipe 170 and the channel 171 are provided with a support ring 174 for accommodating the motor 172, the motor 172 is installed in the support ring 174, and the output shaft of the fan 173 and the motor 172 Connected, the connecting pipe 170 and the channel 171 are uniformly formed with a number of divergent air guide ribs 175, one end of the air guide rib 175 is connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 170 or the channel 171, and the other end is connected to the supporting ring 174, At least one of the air guiding ribs 175 is provided with a channel 176 through which the wires of the power supply 172 pass. This not only increases the reliability of wire positioning but also reduces wind resistance, and no new parts are added, and the fixing of wires during assembly is simple, reliable and convenient. It can be understood that, if the length of the bypass 171 is sufficient, the support ring 174 and the air guiding rib 175 can be directly arranged on the bypass 171 without connecting the pipe 170 . The duct 171 has an air inlet part 1711. In order to reduce the noise at the duct inlet part 1711, the duct air inlet part 1711 is set as a lip structure that facilitates air guide. The above lip structure can be integrally formed with the duct 171 or A separate part is formed and mounted on the channel 171 .

In the embodiment of the present invention, the fan 173 is an axial flow fan, the motor 172 is a brushless DC motor, and the fan 173 is driven by the motor 172, which includes a hub 1731 mounted on the motor rotating shaft (not shown in the figure), and multiple mounted To the blades 1732 on the above-mentioned hub 1731, the blades 1732 and the hub 1731 can be integrally formed, or can be formed separately and assembled together.

The fan 173 is provided with a fairing 177 near one end of the housing 11, and the motor 172 is connected to the fan 173 near the end of the blowing pipe 19. Since the fan 173 is an axial flow fan, the air flow enters through the first blowing passage and the second and third blowing passages. Behind the fan 173 , under the action of the fan 173 , the axial direction passes through the air guide rib 175 and flows into the blowing pipe 19 . In the embodiment of the present invention, the support ring 174 includes a housing part 1741 for housing the motor 172 and an air guiding part 1742. Formed in one piece, the air guide part 1742 is set on the supporting ring 174 near the end of the blowing pipe 19, and the air guide part 1742 is provided with a number of air inlet holes (not shown in the figure) for the inflow of cooling air. During the blowing process, since the air pressure around the motor 172 is higher than the air pressure near the fan 173, a secondary air flow is generated under the effect of the pressure difference, and the secondary air flow flows into the support ring 174 through the air inlet hole on the air guide part 1742 to cool the motor 172 The inside finally flows out through the opening at the front end of the receiving portion 1741 , so that the motor 172 can be cooled during the blowing process.

Please refer to Fig. 3 again, in order to be portable, the hand-held hair dryer of the present invention is also provided with straps (not shown in the figure), and the two ends of the straps are respectively connected to two lanyard holes 118, 119 arranged on the housing 11. The distances from the two lanyard holes 118, 119 to the center of the grip portion 130 are substantially the same, and the midpoint of the line connecting the two lanyard holes 118, 119 is located near the center of gravity of the machine.

The hand-held DC blower is mainly used to blow the fallen leaves and small garbage near the ground, the stadium and the stands. According to the research, in order to blow a large number of fallen leaves on the ground and some garbage in the cracks, the air volume of the hand-held blower is usually greater than 395cfm. . Due to the limitations of small battery capacity and low air output efficiency of the hand-held DC hair dryers on the market with battery packs installed on the housing, it is difficult for the hair dryer to achieve the performance of air volume greater than 395cfm and working time greater than 5min. index. Therefore, in order to achieve greater air volume and higher blowing efficiency, it is necessary to optimize the battery capacity, brushless DC motor, axial flow fan parameters and air duct design.

In order to achieve the ideal air volume and working time, the capacity of the battery is usually greater than 170wh. Usually, the capacity of the battery is proportional to its own weight. For a hand-held hair dryer, due to the weight requirement of the whole machine, the battery pack capacity is preferred. The range is between 170wh-400wh. This setting is because on the one hand, if the capacity of the battery pack is too small, it cannot meet the requirements of air volume and working time; on the other hand, if the capacity of the battery pack is too large, the hand-held fatigue will It will increase, which is not conducive to the operator working for a long time.

Table 1 lists the effective working time of the hand-held hair dryer when the battery capacity is 200wh and 300wh at the maximum air volume operation and the minimum air volume operation. It can also be seen from Table 1 that when the battery capacity is constant, the air volume is inversely proportional to the working time, that is to say, the greater the air volume, the shorter the working time. According to ergonomics, and through the analysis of a large number of simulation experiments on the weight of the whole machine and the tolerance of people, the performance parameters of the hand-held DC hand-held hair dryer that are more suitable for the use of mass customers are: the air volume is between 385cfm-700cfm The working time is between 20min-75min.

Table 1

battery capacity Maximum air volume Minimum air volume 200wh 36min 120min 300wh 54min 180min

In the case of a certain battery capacity, in order to obtain a hand-held DC hand-held hair dryer with an air volume greater than 395cfm and higher blowing efficiency, it is necessary to optimize the parameters of the brushless DC motor, axial fan, and air duct design.

Please refer to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 again, the motor 172 is accommodated in the support ring 174 provided on the channel 171 and the connecting pipe 170, the hub 1731 of the axial flow fan 173 is installed on the rotating shaft (not shown) of the motor 172, according to Aerodynamic principles, in order to reduce wind resistance and increase wind speed, the outer contours of fairing 177, hub 1731 and support ring 174 are designed to be streamlined, so the diameter of motor 172 also determines the diameter of hub 1731. In addition, when designing an axial flow fan, the ratio of the root diameter of the blade to the top diameter, that is, the ratio of the fan hub diameter to the outer diameter of the blade, hereinafter referred to as the hub ratio, is a very important parameter. For the same impeller outer diameter, the hub is smaller The blade length is more suitable for axial flow fans with low pressure and high flow rate. According to the simulation analysis, the hub ratio is between 0.25-0.45, and the air outlet efficiency of the fan blades is relatively high. Therefore, if the diameter of the motor is larger, the corresponding diameter of the hub will also be larger. In order to keep the hub ratio parameter within the optimal range and obtain higher air outlet efficiency, the diameter of the blades will increase accordingly, which will lead to an increase in the volume of the channel. , The volume of the whole machine is also increased, so both the shape design and the operating comfort in the actual use process will be adversely affected, so the preferred motor diameter is not greater than 35mm, so that the weight of the whole machine is lighter and the space occupied is smaller. According to the range of the wheel-to-hub ratio, it can be further concluded that the outer diameter of the blade is between 78mm-140mm, so that the blowing efficiency is higher. As shown in Figure 9, C1 and C2 are when the air volume is 560cfm and 500cfm respectively. The graph of the functional relationship between the outer diameter of the blade and the blowing efficiency obtained from the model analysis shows that the blowing efficiency is the best when the outer diameter of the blade is 85mm-140mm, and the blowing efficiency here is defined as the work generated by the air flow and the rotation of the fan blade The ratio of the work expended.

Furthermore, since the diameter of the motor is less than 35mm, and the ratio of the air volume to the diameter of the motor is greater than 12cfm/mm, compared with ordinary hand-held hair dryers, the hand-held hair dryer of the present invention obtains a more powerful blowing effect through a small-volume motor.

The air duct design of the present invention is described in detail below, please refer to Fig. 2 again, along the direction of the axis L1, the flow cross section S1 of the air duct near the air inlet 112 at the rear end of the fan 173 is larger than the air outlet on the blowing pipe 19 The flow cross-section S3 at position 191, and an annular flow surface (not shown) is formed between the inner wall of the channel 171 and the fan hub 1731, the flow cross-section S3 at the air outlet 191 on the blowing pipe 19 is connected to the axial flow fan 173 The ratio between the flow cross-sections S2 of the annular flow surface at the position is preferably greater than or equal to 0.8, such setting can effectively improve the flow characteristics of the airflow and increase the blowing efficiency. At the same time, the section of the air duct from the fan 173 to the air outlet 191 defines an outer contour line L2, and L1 and L2 define an included angle. Preferably, the angle between the axis L1 and the outer contour line L2 is less than 8 degrees. This is because the larger the angle is, the greater the airflow resistance is, so the airflow loss of the air duct wall increases, and the air flowing in the blowing pipe 19 The loss of the high-speed airflow increases, resulting in a decrease in the blowing efficiency of the whole machine. Through the optimization of the above two parameters, a favorable air flow condition can be realized and a small pressure loss in the blowing pipe 19 can be realized, effectively improving the blowing efficiency.

In order to achieve sufficient air output at the air outlet 191, through CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis and test data summary, a larger air outlet area is usually designed. Preferably, the cross-sectional area of the air outlet 191 is set to be greater than 4300mm². Of course, as the blowing area increases, the wind speed will decrease accordingly. After the actual operation, the optimal air outlet area is set to 4300mm ² to 8000mm ² .

Through the optimization of the battery capacity, brushless DC motor, parameter design of the axial flow fan and the improvement of the air duct design in the present invention, when the battery capacity is between 170wh-400wh, the air volume of the hand-held hair dryer can reach more than 395cfm, Especially when the air volume is 430-700cfm, it can still meet the working time of more than 5min. At the same time, it can ensure that when the hair dryer is running at the maximum air volume, the ratio of the air volume to the input power is greater than or equal to 0.7cfm/w, and the blowing efficiency is greatly improved.

Although the present invention has been disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art of the present invention can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be defined by the claims.
