Abstract

A fan blade structure applied to a centrifugal fan is provided. The fan blade structure includes a wheel hub and an annular vane. The wheel hub includes a plurality of connecting brackets, and the annular vane includes multiple crests and troughs which interlace to form a continuous curved surface. The continuous curved surface has an outer ring surface and an inner ring surface. The connecting brackets are connected to the inner ring surface and drive the annular vane to rotate.

Claims (6)

1. A fan blade structure applied to a centrifugal fan, the fan blade structure comprising: a wheel hub including a plurality of connecting brackets; and an annular vane including multiple crests and troughs, wherein the crests and the troughs interlace to form a continuous curved surface, the continuous curved surface includes an outer ring surface and an inner ring surface, and the connecting brackets are connected to the inner ring surface and drive the annular vane to rotate about a rotating axis, wherein the continuous curved surface of the annular vane is a non-periodical change, and a changeable angle is formed between a normal direction of each crest of the annular vane.

2. The fan blade structure according to claim 1 , wherein the continuous curved surface of the annular vane is a wave curved surface.

3. The fan blade structure according to claim 1 , wherein the wheel hub, the annular vane and the connecting brackets are integrated to form a single component.

4. A centrifugal fan, comprising: a fan blade structure including a wheel hub and an annular vane, wherein the wheel hub includes a plurality of connecting brackets, the annular vane includes multiple crests and troughs, the crests and the troughs interlace to form a continuous curved surface, the continuous curved surface includes an outer ring surface and an inner ring surface, and the connecting brackets are connected to the inner ring surface, wherein the continuous curved surface of the annular vane is a non-periodical change, and a changeable angle is formed between a normal direction of each crest of the annular vane; a motor disposed in the wheel hub of the fan blade structure and driving the wheel hub of the fan blade structure to rotate about a rotating axis; and a casing wrapping the fan blade structure and the motor, wherein an air outlet is formed at a side of the fan blade structure.

5. The fan blade structure according to claim 4 , wherein the continuous curved surface of the annular vane is a wave curved surface.

6. The fan blade structure according to claim 4 , wherein the wheel hub, the annular vane and the connecting brackets are integrated to form a single component.
