Abstract
An axial flow fan includes an impeller having a hub and vanes disposed at equal intervals on an outer peripheral portion of the hub; a rotor shaft located at the center of the impeller; a motor portion rotating the impeller around the rotor shaft as an axis; a casing surrounding an outer periphery of the impeller; a base portion supporting the motor portion; and a stationary blade located in a blowout opening side of air flow, the stationary blade connecting the base portion and the casing, wherein the stationary blade has on its surface a guide portion allowing air flow flowing along the surface to be rectified and guided from a direction of the blowout opening to an outside.
Claims8
An axial flow fan, comprising:
- an impeller including a vane;
- a rotor shaft;
- a motor portion rotating the impeller around the rotor shaft as an axis;
- a casing surrounding the impeller;
- a base portion supporting the motor portion;
- and
- a stationary blade located in a blowout opening of air flow, the stationary blade connecting the base portion and the casing, wherein
- the stationary blade includes a first surface facing the blowout opening and a second surface facing a suction opening,
- a surface of the base portion extends in a radial direction,
- in a longitudinal direction of the rotor shaft, an entirety of the first surface is inclined to the surface of the base portion and is curved in a cross-sectional view of the stationary blade,
- a groove opening toward the air flow is formed only in the first surface facing the blowout opening,
- the groove is formed with two walls curvedly intersecting each other and is empty, and
- the groove is a guide portion guiding the air flow flowing in a direction from the suction opening to the blowout opening.
