Axial-flow fan
View Patent ↗This present invention relates to an axial-flow fan including a central hub connected with a driving shaft of a motor, and a plurality of blades extending radially along the circumference of the hub for blowing air toward an axial direction, the plurality of blades integrated with the hub into a single body, wherein assuming that a camber ratio at a blade root(cr 1 ) of each blade is the value obtained by dividing a maximum camber value at the blade root into a chord length, a camber ratio at a blade tip(cr 2 ) of each blade is the value obtained by dividing a maximum camber value at the blade tip into the chord length, and a percentage of decrease of the camber ratio is the value obtained by dividing a difference value between the camber ratio at the blade root(cr 1 ) and the camber ratio at the blade tip(cr 2 ) into the camber ratio at the blade root(cr 1 ), the percentage of decrease of the camber ratio is in a range between 33% and 85%.
1. An axial-flow fan comprising:
a central hub connected with a driving shaft of a motor; and
a plurality of blades extending radially along the circumference of the hub for blowing air toward an axial direction, the plurality of blades integrated with the hub into a single body,
wherein assuming that a camber ratio at a blade root(cr 1 ) of each blade is the value obtained by dividing a maximum camber value at the blade root(cr 1 ) by a chord length, a camber ratio at a blade tip(cr 2 ) of each blade is the value obtained by dividing a maximum camber value at the blade tip by the chord length, and a percentage of decrease of the camber ratio is the value obtained by dividing a difference value between the camber ratio at the blade root(cr 1 ) and the camber ratio at the blade tip(cr 2 ) by the camber ratio at the blade root(cr 1 ), the percentage of decrease of the camber ratio is in a range between 33% and 85%, said camber ratio decreasing substantially proportionally along a length of each blade from said blade root toward said blade tip.
2. An axial-flow fan according to claim 1 , wherein a setting angle of each blade increases from an intermediate region of each blade to the blade tip.
3. An axial-flow fan according to claim 2 , wherein the setting angle increases in a range between 2 degree and 8 degree at a smallest angle point.
4. An axial-flow fan according to claim 1 , wherein the camber ratio at the blade root(cr 1 ) of each blade has a greatest value of 0.1 or the camber ratio at the blade tip(cr 2 ) of each blade has a smallest value of 0.01.
5. An axial-flow fan according to claim 4 , wherein the camber ratio at the blade root(cr 1 ) of each blade has a greatest value of 0.065 and the camber ratio at the blade tip(cr 2 ) of each blade has a smallest value of 0.025.
6. An axial-flow fan according to claim 1 , wherein the percentage of decrease of the camber ratio is in a range between 50% and 70%.
7. An axial-flow fan comprising:
a central hub connected with a driving shaft of a motor; and
a plurality of blades extending radially along the circumference of the hub for blowing air toward an axial direction, the plurality of blades integrated with the hub into a single body,
wherein each blade his a backward sweep angle at the blade root thereof and a forward sweep angle at the blade tip thereof, while having an airflow distributing region that is defined by a plurality of small regions where sweep angles are changed in turn formed on a region between the backward sweep angle region and the forward sweep angle region, and
wherein assuming that a camber ratio at the blade root(cr 1 ) of each blade is the value obtained by dividing a maximum camber value at the blade root by a chord length, a camber ratio at the blade tip(cr 2 ) of each blade is the value obtained by dividing a maximum camber value at the blade tip by the chord length, and a percentage of decrease of the camber ratio is the value obtained by dividing a difference value between the camber ratio at the blade root(cr 1 ) and the camber ratio at the blade tip(cr 2 ) by the camber ratio at the blade root(cr 1 ), the percentage of decrease of the camber ratio is in a range between 33% and 85%, said camber ratio decreasing substantially proportionally along a length of each blade from said blade root toward said blade tip.
8. An axial-flow fan according to claim 7 , wherein a setting angle of each blade increases from an intermediate region of each blade to the blade tip.
9. An axial-flow fan according to claim 8 , wherein the setting angle increases in a range between 2 degree and 8 degree at a smallest angle point.
