Abstract
An axial flow fan wherein an impeller having a plurality of blades is supported rotatably in the cylindrical cavity portion of a venturi case so that an outer peripheral edge of each of the blades faces to an inner peripheral surface of the cavity portion with a small air gap. The outer peripheral edge of the blade is increased in thickness gradually toward a discharge port side of the venturi case from a suction port side of the venturi case. An peripheral edge portion of the blade at a suction port side of the venturi case is bent in the circumferential direction from a negative pressure surface side of the blade, so that the edge is small in thickness. An outer peripheral edge portion of the blade at a discharge port side of the venturi case has a portion extending circumferentially from a positive pressure surface side of the blade.
Claims4
An axial flow fan comprising a venturi case having a cylindrical cavity portion, an impeller having a plurality of blades, supported rotatably in the cylindrical cavity portion so that an outer peripheral edge of each of the blades faces to an inner peripheral surface of the cavity portion with a small air gap, and an electric motor for rotating the impeller, wherein the outer peripheral edge of the blade is increased in thickness gradually toward a discharge port side of the venturi case from a suction port side of the venturi case, wherein an outer peripheral edge portion of the blade at a suction port side of the venturi case is bent in the circumferential direction from a negative pressure surface side of the blade, so that the edge is small in thickness, and wherein an outer peripheral edge portion of the blade at a discharge port side of the venturi case has a portion extending circumferentially from a positive pressure surface side of the blade.
An axial flow fan comprising a venturi case having a cylindrical cavity portion, an impeller having a plurality of blades, supported rotatably in the cylindrical cavity portion so that an outer peripheral edge of each of the blades faces to an inner peripheral surface of the cavity portion with a small air gap, and an electric motor for rotating the impeller, wherein an outer peripheral edge portion of the blade at a suction port side of the venturi case is curved toward a negative pressure side of the blade, wherein an outer peripheral edge portion of the blade at an intermediate portion between the suction port side and a discharge port side of the venturi case has a portion extending to the negative pressure side of the blade, and wherein an outer peripheral edge portion of the blade at the discharge port side of the venturi case has portions extending to the negative pressure side and a positive pressure side of the venturi case, wherein said intermediate portion is not circular.
