Abstract

A fan includes a hub and a plurality of fan blades. The hub has an axle center. The fan blades are disposed around the hub. Each of the fan blades has a bent portion, and the bent portions of the fan blades are extended along a surrounding direction surrounding the axle center. The hub is welded with the bent portion of each of the fan blades along the surrounding direction. As a result, the number of fan blades is maximized, the strength is simultaneously ensured to be enough, and the advantages of effectively enhancing the fan characteristics are achieved.

Claims (16)

1. A fan, comprising:

a hub having an axle center, an annular sidewall surrounding the axle center, and an annular protrusion portion extended from the annular sidewall; and

a plurality of fan blades disposed around the hub, wherein each of the fan blades has a bent portion, and the bent portion of each of the fan blades is extended along a surrounding direction surrounding the axle center,

wherein the hub is welded with the bent portion of each of the fan blades along the surrounding direction, and each of the bent portions of the respective fan blades is two opposite cylinders, and the two opposite cylinders are connected with the annular protrusion portion from two sides of the annular protrusion portion.

2. The fan according to claim 1 , wherein the hub has an outer diameter, a number of the fan blades is larger than or equal to a product of mathematical constant π multiplied by a length of the outer diameter, and is less than or equal to two times of the product of mathematical constant π multiplied by the length of the outer diameter.

3. The fan according to claim 1 , wherein the hub further includes a top face, the top face is surrounded by the annular sidewall and connected with the annular sidewall, and the top face is perpendicular to the annular sidewall.

4. The fan according to claim 1 , wherein the bent portion of each of the fan blades is welded with the annular sidewall of the hub along the surrounding direction through laser line-welding.

5. The fan according to claim 1 , wherein the surrounding direction is a counter-clockwise direction surrounding an outer circumference of any concentric circle centered on the axle center.

6. The fan according to claim 1 , wherein the surrounding direction is a clockwise direction surrounding an outer circumference of any concentric circle centered on the axle center.

7. The fan according to claim 1 , wherein each of the fan blades further has a blade portion and a blade-end portion, and the bent portion and the blade-end portion of each of the fan blades are respectively formed on two opposite ends of the blade portion of each of the fan blades.

8. The fan according to claim 7 , wherein on each of the fan blades, the bent portion of each of the fan blades is closest to the hub, and the blade-end portion of each of the fan blades is farthest from the hub.

9. A fan, comprising:

a hub having an axle center; and

a plurality of fan blades disposed around the hub, wherein each of the fan blades has a bent portion, a blade portion and a blade-end portion, the bent portion of each of the fan blades is extended along a surrounding direction surrounding the axle center, and the bent portion and the blade-end portion of each of the fan blades are respectively formed on two opposite ends of the blade portion of each of the fan blades,

wherein the hub is welded with the bent portion of each of the fan blades along the surrounding direction, and

wherein the blade-end portion has a connection end portion and a buckle part, the connection end portion is extended from the blade portion, the buckle part is perpendicular to the connection end portion, a first protrusion portion and two second protrusion portions are respectively protruded from two opposite side edges of the buckle part, a notch portion is formed between the two second protrusion portions, the notch portion and the first protrusion portion are respectively located on the same position of the two opposite side edges, and the notch portion is matched with the first protrusion portion.
