Abstract
In an axial flow fan motor having openings through which air can flow linearly in the axial direction provided between a plurality of blades which rotate along with the rotation of the motor, the plurality of blades are arranged at different intervals or at equal intervals every other blade circumferentially around the rotation axis of the motor. With this axial flow fan motor, when two axial flow fan motors are stacked in the axial direction and either one is selectively used, the blades of the other fan motor that is stopped do not obstruct airflow from the fan motor that is being driven.
Claims1
An axial flow fan motor unit in which two axial flow fan motors are stacked in an axial direction, wherein each of said axial flow fan motors comprises:
- a casing having a ventilation hole formed in a center portion thereof,
- a motor fixed in a center of said ventilation hole, and
- a plurality of blades which rotate around a motor rotation axis along with rotation of said motor, and
- has openings enabling air flow linearly in the axial direction between said blades,
- wherein characterized in that said plurality of blades is arranged at equal intervals every other blade circumferentially around the rotation axis of said motor, and said plurality of blades arranged circumferentially around the rotation axis of said motor has two kinds of intervals.
