Abstract

A blade module and a fan using the same are provided. The blade module includes a rotating shaft and a plurality of blades. Each blade is connected to the rotating shaft and includes a blade body and an airflow guiding portion. The airflow guiding portion is connected to the blade body and has an opening.

Claims (22)

1. A blade module, comprising:

a rotating shaft; and

a plurality of blades each connecting to the rotating shaft and comprising:

a blade body having a first edge and a second edge, wherein the first edge and the second edge are arranged in an axial direction of the rotating shaft; and

a first airflow guiding portion connecting to the blade body at a local portion of the first edge,

wherein each first airflow guiding portion has an enclosed first opening, and

each enclosed first opening has a second airflow guiding portion connected to an opening edge of the enclosed first opening.

2. The blade module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an airflow pushing region is formed between two adjacent blade bodies, and each second airflow guiding portion extends toward the corresponding airflow pushing region.

3. The blade module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each second airflow guiding portion is bent outwardly in a direction opposite to a rotating direction of the rotating shaft.

4. The blade module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an angle included between the first airflow guiding portion and the second airflow guiding portion connected to the first airflow guiding portion ranges between 0 degree and 90 degrees.

5. The blade module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each first airflow guiding portion extends from the local portion of the first edge of the corresponding blade body toward a direction away from the corresponding blade body.

6. The blade module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each first airflow guiding portion is shaped into a bending shape which is inwardly depressed toward a direction reverse to a rotating direction of the rotating shaft.

7. The blade module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each blade further comprises:

a third airflow guiding portion connecting to the second edge of the corresponding blade body and having a second opening.

8. The blade module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each blade is a metal blade and has a thickness substantially equal to or less than 0.1 millimeters.

9. A fan, comprising:

a blade module comprising:

a rotating shaft; and

a plurality of blades each connecting to the rotating shaft and comprising:

a blade body having a first edge and a second edge, wherein the first edge and the second edge are arranged in an axial direction of the rotating shaft; and

a first airflow guiding portion connecting to the blade body at a local portion of the first edge, wherein the first airflow guiding portion has an enclosed first opening and the enclosed first opening has a second airflow guiding portion connected to an opening edge of the enclosed first opening; and

a casing surrounding a portion of the blade module and separated from each first airflow guiding portion by a distance.
