Abstract

A diffuser, an air supply device and a vacuum cleaning equipment are provided. The diffuser has a base ring member and multiple rows of stationary blades. Each row of stationary blades is disposed on an outer ring wall of the base ring member along an axial direction of the base ring member, and is arranged along a circumferential direction of the base ring member. Opposite sides of the base ring member are respectively an air-inlet side and an air-outlet side. A chord length of each stationary blade in one row is greater than or equal to the chord length of each stationary blade in a next adjacent row. The installation angle of each stationary blade in one row is smaller than or equal to the installation angle of each stationary blade in the next adjacent row.

Claims (25)

1. A diffuser comprising:

a base ring member; and

multiple rows of stationary blades, the multiple rows of the stationary blades being disposed on an outer ring wall of the base ring member along an axial direction of the base ring member in sequence and arranged along a circumferential direction of the base ring member,

wherein:

opposite sides of the base ring member along the axial direction are an air-inlet side and an air-outlet side respectively, and from the air-inlet side to the air-outlet side, a chord length of each stationary blade in one row is greater than or equal to a chord length of each stationary blade in a next adjacent row;

the multiple rows of stationary blades comprise a first row of stationary blades and a second row of stationary blades, and the first row of stationary blades and the second row of stationary blades are disposed on the outer ring wall of the base ring member along the axial direction of the base ring member in sequence from the air-inlet side to the air-outlet side;

a ratio of the chord length of each stationary blade in the first row to the chord length of each stationary blade in the second row is greater than or equal to 1 and smaller than or equal to 5;

each stationary blade has an installation angle, and from the air-inlet side to the air-outlet side, the installation angle of each stationary blade in one row is smaller than or equal to the installation angle of each stationary blade in the next adjacent row, wherein the installation angle is an included angle between a forehead line and the chord length of each stationary blade and the installation angle varies in accordance with the chord length, and wherein the forehead line is a line formed by connecting corresponding points at heads of the stationary blades in a same row, and wherein each stationary blade is in an arc shape;

the forehead line of the first row of stationary blades is co-planar with a surface of the base ring member facing the air-inlet side of the base ring member;

a head of each stationary blade has an inlet placement angle, and from the air-inlet side to the air-outlet side, the inlet placement angle of each stationary blade in one row is smaller than or equal to the inlet placement angle of each stationary blade in the next adjacent row;

a tail of each stationary blade has an outlet placement angle, and from the air-inlet side to the air-outlet side, the outlet placement angle of each stationary blade in one row is smaller than or equal to the outlet placement angle of each stationary blade in the next adjacent row; and

from the air-inlet side to the air-outlet side, the outlet placement angle of each stationary blade in one row is smaller than or equal to the inlet placement angle of each stationary blade in the next adjacent row.

2. The diffuser according to claim 1 , wherein an angle value of the inlet placement angle of each stationary blade in the first row in a range from 5° to 20°, and the angle value of the inlet placement angle of each stationary blade in the second row is in a range from 20° to 40°.

3. The diffuser according to claim 1 , wherein an angle value of the outlet placement angle of each stationary blade in the first row is in a range from 10° to 60°, and the angle value of the outlet placement angle of each stationary blade in the second row is in a range from 60° to 80°.

4. The diffuser according to claim 1 , wherein:

a number of stationary blades in the first row is smaller than or equal to a number of stationary blades in the second row;

the first row of stationary blades and the second row of stationary blades are respectively distributed uniformly along the circumferential direction of the outer ring wall;

the first row of stationary blades and the second row of stationary blades are mutually staggered in the axial direction of the outer ring wall; and

at least the head or tail of one stationary blade in the first row is aligned with the head or tail of one stationary blade in the second row in the axial direction of the outer ring wall.

5. The diffuser according to claim 1 , wherein a distance along the axial direction of the base ring member between the head of each stationary blade in the first row and the tail of each stationary blade in the second row is smaller than or equal to 3 mm.

6. The diffuser according to claim 1 , wherein:

the outlet placement angle comprises a first outlet placement angle at a blade root of the stationary blade and a second outlet placement angle at a blade tip of the stationary blade; and

a difference between the angle value of the first outlet placement angle and the angle value of the second outlet placement angle is in a range from 0° to 20°.

7. The diffuser according to claim 1 , wherein the head of each stationary blade in the first row of stationary blades is axially aligned with the tail of the adjacent stationary blade in the first row of stationary blades.

8. The diffuser according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the base ring member facing the air-inlet side of the base ring member is perpendicular to the outer ring wall of the base ring.
