Abstract

A blower includes a fan that sends out air, a guiding member that guides air moving towards the fan or the air sent out by the fan, and a vibration suppressing member that is provided on a side opposite to a side where the guiding member is provided with the fan interposed therebetween, and that reduces vibration of the fan.

Claims (25)

1. A blower comprising:

at least two fans that send out air and are positioned perpendicular to each other;

a guiding member that guides air sent out by at least one of the at least two fans; and

a vibration suppressing member that is provided on a side opposite to a side where the guiding member is provided with a first fan of the at least two fans interposed therebetween, and that reduces vibration of the first fan, and

wherein the vibration suppressing member is only mounted on the first fan.

2. The blower according to claim 1 , wherein the vibration suppressing member is formed from a metal member mounted on the first fan of the at least two fans.

3. The blower according to claim 2 , wherein the metal member has a substantially plate shape, and is disposed in a state in which the metal member faces a surface of the first fan and is disposed in contact with the surface.

4. The blower according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a threaded member that fixes the first fan of the at least two fans to the guiding member and that includes a shaft portion,

wherein an elastic body is provided around the shaft portion of the threaded member.

5. The blower according to claim 1 , wherein the first fan of the at least two fans includes a rotary member that sends out air, and

wherein a plurality of portions of the vibration suppressing member whose positions in a radial direction of the rotary member differ from each other are fixed to the first fan.

6. The blower according to claim 5 , wherein at least two portions of the plurality of portions of the vibration suppressing member are fixed to the first fan, the two portions being a portion positioned at one end portion in the radial direction of the rotary member and a portion positioned at other end portion situated on a side opposite to the one end portion in the radial direction.

7. The blower according to claim 1 , wherein the guiding member is mounted on the first fan of the at least two fans, and

wherein the vibration suppressing member is mounted on a portion of the first fan that is positioned on a side opposite to a portion on which the guiding member is mounted.

8. A blower comprising:

at least two fans that send out air and are positioned perpendicular to each other;

a guiding member that guides air sent out by at least one of the at least two fans; and

a metal member that is mounted on a portion of a first fan of the at least two fans that is positioned on a first side opposite to a side where the guiding member is provided, and

wherein the metal member is only mounted on the first fan.

9. A blower comprising:

at least two fans that are positioned perpendicular to each other, one of the at least two fans includes a rotary member and an accommodating container that accommodates the rotary member, the one of the at least two fans sending out air as a result of rotating the rotary member;

a guiding member that guides air sent out by at least one of the at least two fans; and

a mounting member that is mounted on a portion of a first fan of the at least two fans that is positioned on a first side opposite to a side where the guiding member is provided, a specific gravity of the mounting member being larger than a specific gravity of the accommodating container, and

wherein the mounting member is only mounted on the first fan.
