Abstract

An induced draft fan includes a motor, a volute, a wind wheel, and a conversion interface. The volute includes a cavity for accommodating the wind wheel. The volute further includes a bottom surface and a side surface. The bottom surface includes an air inlet and the side surface includes an air outlet. The air inlet and the air outlet communicate with the cavity. The conversion interface includes a connection section, a transition section, and an exit section. The connection section and the exit section are disposed on two ends of the transition section, respectively. The transition section tilts upward so that the exit section and the connection section are staggered with each other. The connection section includes a rectangular hollow frame including an upper side plate, a lower side plate, a left side plate, and a right side plate.

Claims (23)

1. A device, comprising:

a motor;

a volute;

a wind wheel; and

a conversion interface;

wherein:

the volute comprises a cavity for accommodating the wind wheel;

the volute further comprises a bottom surface and a side surface; the bottom surface comprises an air inlet and the side surface comprises an air outlet; the air inlet and the air outlet communicate with the cavity;

the conversion interface is disposed on an outlet end of the volute;

the conversion interface comprises a connection section, a transition section, and an exit section; the connection section and the exit section are disposed on two ends of the transition section, respectively;

the transition section tilts upward so that the exit section and the connection section are staggered with each other;

the connection section comprises a rectangular hollow frame comprising an upper side plate, a lower side plate, a left side plate, and a right side plate;

the connection section further comprises a convex plate disposed on and parallel to the upper side plate, and a groove is formed between the convex plate and the upper side plate; and

the volute further comprises a top plate, a lower plate, and two side plates; the top plate, the lower plate, and the two side plates enclose the air outlet;

when the conversion interface is connected to the volute, the connection section is embedded in the air outlet, and the top plate is embedded in the groove.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the two side plates each comprise a first flange; two side joints of the connection section and the transition section each comprise a first step; and when the conversion interface is connected to the volute, the first flange is secured to the first step.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the lower plate comprises a second flange; a bottom joint of the connection section and the transition section comprises a second step; and when the conversion interface is connected to the volute, the second flange is secured to the second step.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the connection section, the transition section, the exit section, and the convex plate form an integrated structure.

5. The device of claim 2 , wherein the connection section, the transition section, the exit section, and the convex plate form an integrated structure.

6. The device of claim 3 , wherein the connection section, the transition section, the exit section, and the convex plate form an integrated structure.

7. The device of claim 4 , wherein a joint of the exit section and the transition section are provided with a plurality of locating lugs.

8. The device of claim 5 , wherein a joint of the exit section and the transition section are provided with a plurality of locating lugs.

9. The device of claim 6 , wherein a joint of the exit section and the transition section are provided with a plurality of locating lugs.
