## Abstract

Provided is an axial flow blower capable of improving an intake efficiency even when air is introduced from a plurality of suction openings. An axial flow blower includes a housing including an air blowing passage extending from a plurality of suction openings (lateral suction opening and lower suction opening) to an ejection opening, an electric motor, and an air blowing fan that blows air from the plurality of suction openings (lateral suction opening and lower suction opening) toward the ejection opening. An air blowing guide member is provided closer to the plurality of suction openings (lateral suction opening and lower suction opening) than to the air blowing fan, inside of the plurality of suction openings (lateral suction opening and lower suction opening). The air blowing guide member guides air introduced into the air blowing passage from the plurality of suction openings (lateral suction opening and lower suction opening) toward the air blowing fan.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An axial flow blower comprising:
a housing including a plurality of suction openings, an ejection opening, and an air blowing passage extending in an axial direction from the plurality of suction openings to the ejection opening;
an electric motor disposed within the housing; and
an air blowing fan coupled to the electric motor and rotated within the air blowing passage with a driving force of the electric motor so as to blow air from the plurality of suction openings toward the ejection opening,
wherein an air blowing guide member is provided, radially inside of the plurality of suction openings, closer in the axial direction to the plurality of suction openings than to the air blowing fan, the air blowing guide member being adapted to guide air introduced into the air blowing passage from the plurality of suction openings toward the air blowing fan, and wherein the air blowing guide member includes a plurality of through-holes.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The axial flow blower according to claim 1, wherein a chamber is provided on one side of the air blowing guide member opposite in the axial direction to the air blowing fan.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The axial flow blower according to claim 2, wherein the chamber is defined by a space having a predetermined size.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The axial flow blower according to claim 1, wherein the air blowing guide member has a conical shape, and an outer peripheral surface of the conical shape serves as a guide surface that guides air introduced into the air blowing passage from the plurality of suction openings toward the air blowing fan.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The axial flow blower according to claim 4, wherein a top portion of the conical shape is disposed to face the air blowing fan in the axial direction.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The axial flow blower according to claim 4, wherein the air blowing guide member is formed to have an upstream end portion located radially inside of the plurality of suction openings formed in the housing.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The axial flow blower according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of suction openings is formed at a plurality of positions of the housing around a rotation axis of the air blowing fan.

### Claim 8 (depends on 2)

The axial flow blower according to claim 2, wherein the chamber includes a sound absorbing member.
