For example, though according to the shell 3 that is formed with inclined surface 342 in it, can suppress noise by the interference in air flow generation, but the shell 8 of the comparative example shown in Fig. 9 can have pair of angled surface (hereinafter referred to as " given shape (specific aspect) "), and this forms by grinding base portion 84 inclined surface and is provided with along circumferential with respect to central axis J2.Described given shape is to make base portion 84 contact with conical surface 821, and the part of described given shape is far away more apart from central axis J2, and this part is just far away more apart from center line 831.
And, when forming inclined surface 342 on one of them given shape at base portion 34, interference in air flow can be suppressed to a certain degree.That is to say that at least one that focuses in described two given shapes comprises inclined surface 342.It should be noted that when having only one to comprise inclined surface 342 in the given shape of each rib 33 given shape that focuses on being provided with should comprise inclined surface 342 on the same side with respect to each rib 33, thereby reduce interference in air flow.
In addition, it should be noted that to achieve these goals that described given shape has only certain part to can be used as inclined surface 342.More particularly, preferably described inclined surface is arranged on the part place that is connected with rib 33 of described given shape.And, in order when described inclined surface is provided with as mentioned above, to suppress interference in air flow effectively, preferably, if described given shape extends (as shown in Figure 9) along the identical direction of the direction of extending with rib 33, then half the zone that is equivalent to this given shape of this given shape will be inclined surface.
Be noted that in shell 3, described inclined surface can be taked Any shape, as long as this inclined surface is shaped so that the part of this inclined surface is far away more apart from central axis J1, then apart from the center line of rib 33 far away getting final product more just.But, in order to suppress the interference in air flow in the axial flow fan 1, inclined surface 342 must form and make that the part of this inclined surface 342 is far away more apart from central axis J1, then the angle that forms between the center line of inclined surface 342 and rib 33 is just big more, and when when an axial end is seen, the edge of inclined surface 342 forms curve.
In addition, divide 222 stationary part 22 though have the mounting portion 31 and the sleeve retaining that comprise as a seamless part according to the axial flow fan 1 of Fig. 1, yet this sleeve retaining divide 222 and mounting portion 31 can form independently of each other, wherein mounting portion 31 is mounted to stationary part 22.
In addition, though according to the shell 3 of Figure 13 when when an axial end is seen, having rectangular shape, the frame part of this shell can be taked arbitrary shape.For example, described framework can be the circular shape, and wherein the part of this framework comprises straight line.When described frame part was the circular shape, the part that forms minimum angle with respect to central axis J1 of the internal surface of this frame part can be specific conical surface, can on this specific conical surface described base portion be set vertically.By this structure, can suppress the interference in air flow that produces by described base portion.
In addition, it should be noted that in shell 3 that the rib 33 that frame part 32 is connected to mounting portion 31 need not extend perpendicular to central axis J1.Rib 33 can tilt with respect to axial vertical line.
