Fan blade with improved structure
A fan blade with improved structure includes a hub, a plurality of blades. The hub has a lateral side having two ends, one of which is formed a top side and the other end is extended to form an extended section, and a plurality of connecting slots located on the periphery of the extended section. Each blade has a first end correspondingly engaged in respective connecting slot and a second end. With these arrangements, the fan blade with improved structure can increase structural strength of thin fan blades and be easy to connect the hub to the blades.
1. A fan blade with improved structure, comprising:
a hub including a lateral side having two ends, one of which being formed a top side and the other end being extended to form an extended section, and plurality of connecting slots being located on the periphery of the extended section, the extended section is upwardly extended to form a connecting portion on a periphery of the hub and extending upwardly toward the top of the hub and containing the connecting slots giving the connecting portion a U-shape from a side view; and
a plurality of blades, each of which having a first and an opposite second end; and the first end correspondingly being engaged in respective connecting slot and forming a weld part by laser welding at the junction between the blades and the hub, wherein the first end of each blade and the hub have a height smaller than the second end of each blade.
2. The fan blade with improved structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connecting slots are equally or non-equally spaced on the connecting portion.
3. The fan blade with improved structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each blade is curved-shaped or non-curved-shaped.
4. The fan blade with improved structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein both the hub and the blades are made of the same or different materials.
5. The fan blade with improved structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each blade has a thickness smaller than 0.15 mm.
6. The fan blade with improved structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lateral side, the top side, and the extended section of the hub are integrally molded.
