Blower device and blower system equipped with blower device
A blower device includes a housing including an intake chamber, an accommodation chamber communicating with the intake chamber, and an exhaust port, a motor provided in the accommodation chamber and including a coil, a fan provided on a rotating shaft of the motor, a sealing member configured to seal up the intake chamber, and a flow path of the air which is introduced into a gap between a first surface of the fan and the housing, is returned from a flow path hole provided in the housing and communicating with the intake chamber to an opening, and is introduced to a second surface of the fan opposed to the first surface by an air-blowing operation of the fan.
1. A blower device comprising:
a housing including an intake chamber configured to take in external air from an intake port, an accommodation chamber communicating with the intake chamber through an opening, and an exhaust port configured to discharge the air inside the accommodation chamber to the outside of the accommodation chamber;
a motor provided in the accommodation chamber of the housing and including a coil;
a fan provided on a rotating shaft of the motor and configured to introduce the air inside the intake chamber from the opening into the accommodation chamber and blow the air from the accommodation chamber to the exhaust port;
a sealing member configured to seal up the intake chamber; and
a flow path of the air which is introduced into a gap between a first surface of the fan and the housing, is returned from a flow path hole provided in the housing and communicating with the intake chamber, and is introduced to a second surface of the fan opposed to the first surface by an air-blowing operation of the fan.
2. The blower device of claim 1 , further comprising a circuit board on which a circuit component configured to drive the motor is arranged.
3. The blower device of claim 1 , wherein
the intake chamber is arranged in a flow path of air flowing from the intake port to the fan.
4. The blower device of claim 2 , wherein
the intake chamber is arranged in a flow path of air flowing from the intake port to the fan.
5. The blower device of claim 1 , further comprising a circuit board and a heat-radiation member, wherein the heat-radiation member is provided between the sealing member and the circuit board.
6. The blower device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a circuit board;
a separate coil electrically connected to the coil and functioning as an inductor; and
a board cover arranged in such a manner as to cover the circuit board and constituting a circuit chamber accommodating therein a circuit component with the circuit board.
7. The blower device of claim 5 , wherein
the sealing member and the heat-radiation member are formed integral with each other, and the sealing member and the heat-radiation member contain aluminum.
8. A blower system comprising a plurality of blower devices of claim 1 , wherein
a first exhaust port of one of the blower devices and a first intake port of another of the blower devices are connected in series.
9. The blower system of claim 8 , further comprising a coupling member configured to couple the first exhaust port and the first intake port to each other.
