Description

Optimization Method of Impeller Blades of Low Pressure Axial Flow Fan

technical field

The invention belongs to the technical field of fan impellers, and in particular relates to an optimization method for blades of a low-pressure axial flow fan impeller.

Background technique

Low-pressure axial flow fans are widely used as the main power of industrial equipment and household appliances such as ventilation, HVAC, cooling, air conditioning and transportation. The aerodynamic characteristics of the axial flow fan are low total pressure, large air volume, and low impeller efficiency. The reason is that there is a gap between the blade and the pipe, there is a secondary flow at the top of the blade, the blade root is connected to the hub, and the separation flow is also serious. There are a large number of vortices near the tip of the blade, and even backflow, causing a large flow loss.

In an axial flow fan, the pressure loss when the airflow passes through the blades is very complicated, and the pressure loss distribution along the height of the blades is uneven. At the average radius of the blade, the pressure loss is relatively small, and the pressure loss is mainly concentrated in a very narrow area in the wake of the blade; in the middle part of the blade path close to the average radius of the blade, the pressure loss is relatively small and relatively uniform; but Near the hub and casing, the area of pressure loss is enlarged, and the value of pressure loss also increases. That is because when the airflow flows through the blade passage, there is relative motion between the airflow and the blade, so there is a force between them, and the pressure on the concave surface of the blade is greater than the pressure on the convex surface of the blade. Therefore, between two adjacent blades, there is a lateral pressure gradient from the concave surface of one blade to the convex surface of the other blade, and this lateral pressure gradient increases with the increase of the lift coefficient. On the other hand, the airflow passes through the cascades in a curvilinear motion, which creates a centrifugal force directed from the convex surface of one blade to the concave surface of the adjacent blade. In the mid-section along the height of the blades, the lateral pressure gradient between adjacent blades is balanced by the centrifugal force of the airflow, so that the airflow does not flow in a lateral direction. However, the situation is different at the root and tip of the blade. For example, at the blade root, the airflow pressure in the boundary layer on the hub surface is the same as the airflow pressure outside the boundary layer, while the airflow velocity inside the boundary layer decreases as it approaches the hub surface and tends to zero. Therefore, there is a transverse pressure gradient in the boundary layer, but there is no or very little centrifugal force of the airflow, so the transverse gradient pressure in the boundary layer cannot be balanced, and the gas in the boundary layer will flow from the concave surface of one blade to the other. The lateral flow of the convex surface adjacent to the blade reduces the pressure in the boundary layer near the concave surface of the blade, while the pressure increases near the convex surface of the adjacent blade, thus forming a vortex. These eddies are carried away by the main air flow, and behind the blade tip, these eddies are gradually converted into heat energy loss, which occurs at the root and tip of the blade. Therefore, the design and optimization goal of the axial flow fan is to reduce the radial speed, make the axial speed more uniform, increase the axial speed at the hub and wheel cover, and improve the working ability of the blades, etc., so that the fan efficiency and All-in pressure is boosted.

Contents of the invention

The object of the present invention is to provide an optimization method for the impeller blades of a low-pressure axial flow fan aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art.

The steps of the present invention are specifically as follows:

Measure the chord lengths b _i of n sections, i=1, 2, 3,..., n, and the outlet geometric angle β _2A(i) , i=1, 2, 3,..., n. Remove all chamfers and rounded corners in the model to obtain a simplified model. Use meshing software to mesh the simplified model and perform numerical simulation calculations to obtain the total pressure of the impeller model to be optimized and the three velocity components at the inlet of n sections; draw the velocity triangle according to the three velocity components to obtain n Inlet airflow angle β _1(i) of each section, i=1, 2, 3,...,n. Assign the full pressure value of the model to Z1.

Step 2. Assign 1 to i.

Step 3. Draw a sketch, the sketch includes the first line segment, the second line segment, the third line segment, the fourth line segment, the fifth line segment, the sixth line segment, the first arc, the second arc, the seventh line segment and the eighth line segment . The first line segment and the second line segment are parallel to each other, the endpoints of the third line segment are on the first line segment and the second line segment respectively, and the length of the third line segment is b _i . The fourth line segment and the sixth line segment are arranged on both sides of the fifth line segment respectively, and one end points of the fourth line segment and the sixth line segment coincide with two end points of the third line segment respectively. The other end point of the fourth line segment is on the fifth line segment. The other endpoint of the sixth line segment coincides with the one end point of the fifth line segment, and the sixth line segment and the fifth line segment have the same length. The fifth line segment intersects the third line segment. The center of the first arc is the intersection point of the fourth line segment and the fifth line segment, and the two end points are non-coincident end points of the fourth line segment and the fifth line segment respectively. The center of the second circular arc is the intersection point of the fifth line segment and the sixth line segment, and the two end points are non-coincident end points of the fifth line segment and the sixth line segment respectively. The first arc is in the clockwise direction of the second arc. The seventh line segment coincides with the tangent of the first arc at the end point of the fourth line segment, the angle between the seventh line segment and the first line segment is β _1(i) , and the eighth line segment and the second arc are at the end point of the sixth line segment The tangents of are coincident, and the angle between the eighth line segment and the second line segment is β _2A(i) .

The included angle between the third line segment and the seventh line segment is α ₁ , and the included angle between the third line segment and the eighth line segment is α ₂ .

Step 4: The first arc and the second arc form a new type of line. Superimpose the thickness value a of the new line, 1mm≤a≤6mm, to obtain a circular arc section; or select an airfoil from the airfoil database to obtain the thickness distribution of the airfoil section, and combine the thickness distribution of the airfoil section with the new line to obtain the airfoil type section.
