Multi-blade fan
View Patent ↗A multi-blade fan including a spirally-shaped casing having an inlet and an outlet; an electric motor disposed inside the casing; a main plate provided perpendicular to a rotation axis of the electric motor and having a ventilation hole; first blades disposed at a side of the inlet of the main plate; and second blades disposed at an opposite side of the inlet of the main plate. Herein, a diameter of the main plate is smaller than an outer diameter of the first and second blades and is larger than an inner diameter of them. Furthermore, an outlet angle of any one or both of the first blade and the second blade is sequentially changed in an axis direction.
1. A multi-blade fan comprising:
a spirally-shaped casing including a bellmouth-shaped inlet and an outlet at one side;
an electric motor disposed inside the casing;
a main plate provided perpendicular to a rotation axis of the electric motor and having a ventilation hole;
first blades disposed at a side of the inlet of the main plate; and
second blades disposed at an opposite side of the inlet of the main plate;
wherein a diameter of the main plate is smaller than an outer diameter of the first blades and an outer diameter of the second blades and the diameter of the main plate is larger than an inner diameter of the first blades and an inner diameter of the second blades, and
an outlet angle of at least one of the first blades is changed sequentially in an axis direction such that the outlet angle of the one of the first blades at an inlet side of the one of the first blades is smaller than an outlet angle of the second blades and the outlet angle of the one of the first blades at a main plate side of the one of the first blades is larger than the outlet angle of the second blades.
2. The multi-blade fan of claim 1 , wherein a ring-shaped lateral plate is disposed at an outer periphery of at least one of the first blades and the second blades.
3. The multi-blade fan of claim 1 , wherein an outlet angle of at least one of the second blades is constant in the axis direction.
4. The multi-blade fan of claim 1 , wherein an outlet angle of at least one of the first blades is increased sequentially in the axis direction toward the main plate.
5. The multi-blade fan of claim 1 , wherein an inlet angle of at least one of the first blades at a side of the main plate is larger than an inlet angle of the second blade.
6. The multi-blade fan of claim 1 , wherein the number of the second blades is same as or smaller than the number of the first blades.
7. The multi-blade fan of claim 1 , wherein an inner diameter of at least one of the second blades is same as or smaller than an inner diameter of the first blade.
8. The multi-blade fan of claim 1 , wherein the outlet angle of at least one of the first blade and the second blade is reduced due to a centrifugal force or a wind pressure as a rotation speed is increased.
