A part of the air after heat exchange enters the volute 520 from the inlet because of the single-suction centrifugal fan 510, and is discharged from the outlet 521 after being turned twice in the volute 520, and then is blown out through the air outlet 320 at the lower part. The wind shielding member 371 of this embodiment may be a flat plate, and the outer side of the circumference of the laminar flow fan 100 not shielded by the wind shielding member 371 is the notch 373. Since the wind shielding member 371 has the notches 373 at the front side and the left and right sides of the circumference of the laminar flow fan 100, the air outlets 320 are disposed at the upper portions of the front panel 311 and the two side panels 316 of the rear casing 312 of the indoor unit 300 of the floor air conditioner of this embodiment, and the laminar flow wind formed by the laminar flow fan 100 is blown out from the air outlet 320 at the upper portion, so that the air supply from three sides at the upper portion can be realized. In addition, the lower part of the front panel 311 is provided with an air outlet 320, so that single-sided air supply at the lower part can be realized.

In other embodiments, the wind shielding member 371 may be a shell, which is wrapped outside the laminar flow fan 100, and the notch 373 is only disposed on the front side of the periphery of the laminar flow fan 100, so that the indoor unit 300 of the floor air conditioner may only have the upper air outlet 320 on the front panel 311, thereby realizing upper single-sided air supply. However, regardless of the shape of the wind shielding member 371, the notch 373 corresponds to the wind outlet 320. For example, the wind shielding member 371 can discharge laminar air formed by the laminar fan 100 on three sides, and three air outlets 320 are correspondingly arranged on the position; the wind shielding member 371 can discharge the laminar air formed by the laminar fan 100 on one side, and one wind outlet 320 is correspondingly arranged at the position. The wind shielding member 371 can ensure that the laminar flow wind formed by the laminar flow fan 100 is not blown to other places in the cavity except the wind outlet 320, and the normal operation of other components in the cavity is not influenced.

As shown in fig. 7, the centers of the plurality of annular disks 10 are collectively formed with an air inlet passage 11 for allowing air outside the laminar flow fan 100 to enter. A plurality of air discharge ports 12 are formed at gaps between the plurality of annular disks 10 to allow laminar air to be blown out. The process of laminar wind formed by the inward and outward rotating movement of the air boundary layer 13 is centrifugal movement, so that the speed of the air leaving the air outlet 12 is higher than that of the air entering the air inlet channel 11. The pressure difference between the air outlet 12 of the laminar flow fan 100 and the inlet of the air inlet channel 11 is wind pressure. The plurality of air outlets 12 formed by the gaps between the plurality of annular disks 10 can enable the laminar flow fan 100 to uniformly supply air at 360 degrees, thereby avoiding various uncomfortable symptoms caused by direct blowing of air by the indoor unit 300 of the floor air conditioner, and further improving the use experience of the user.

The blowing principle of the laminar flow fan 100 is derived primarily from the "tesla turbine" found in nigula tesla. Tesla turbines mainly utilize the 'laminar boundary layer effect' or 'viscous effect' of the fluid to achieve the purpose of doing work on 'turbine disks'. In the laminar flow fan 100 of this embodiment, the laminar flow motor 20 drives the driving disk 30, the driving disk 30 drives the plurality of annular disks 10 to rotate at a high speed, and the air in the intervals of the annular disks 10 contacts and moves with each other, so that the air boundary layer 13 near the surfaces of the annular disks 10 is driven by the rotating annular disks 10 to rotate from inside to outside due to the action of the viscous shear force τ, thereby forming laminar flow wind.

Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram showing the viscous shear force distribution τ (y) and the velocity distribution u (y) to which the air boundary layer 13 is subjected. The viscous shear force experienced by the air boundary layer 13 is actually the resistance that each annular disk 10 generates to the air boundary layer 13. The axis of abscissa in fig. 9 refers to the distance in the moving direction of the air boundary layer 13, and the axis of ordinate refers to the height of the air boundary layer 13 in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction. v. of_eThe velocity of the air flow at each point in the air boundary layer 13, the thickness of the air boundary layer 13, τ_wIs the viscous shear force at the surface of annular disk 10. the variable y in τ (y) and u (y) refers to the height of the cross-section of boundary layer 13 in the direction perpendicular to the direction of travel, L is the height of a point on the inner circumference of annular disk 10 and a point on the surface of annular disk 10Then τ (y) is the distribution of viscous shear forces experienced at distance L at a cross-sectional height y of boundary layer 13, and u (y) is the velocity distribution at distance L at a cross-sectional height y of boundary layer 13.

The laminar flow fan 100 shown in fig. 10 to 13 has a groove 32 formed toward the plurality of annular disks 10 at the center of the driving disk 30, and the laminar flow motor 20 is fixedly disposed in the groove 32. Fig. 14 is a schematic view of the connection between the laminar flow fan 100 and the laminar flow motor 20 in fig. 10, and fig. 15 is a schematic view of the laminar flow motor 20, the fixing plate 340, and the fixing frame 350 in an exploded manner. As shown in fig. 14 and 15, the indoor unit 300 of the floor air conditioner may further include: a fixing plate 340 and a fixing frame 350. Wherein, one side of the fixing plate 340 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 341, and the other side is provided with a plurality of clamping grooves 342. The reinforcing ribs 341 can effectively improve the firmness of the fixing plate 340. The fixing frame 350 is provided with a plurality of clamping jaws 351 corresponding to the plurality of clamping slots 342 on one side facing the fixing plate 340, so that the laminar flow motor 20 is fixed between the fixing frame 350 and the fixing plate 340 after the plurality of clamping jaws 351 are respectively screwed in the plurality of clamping slots 342, wherein a through hole 352 is formed in the center of the fixing frame 350, and the output shaft 21 of the laminar flow motor 20 passes through the through hole 352 and then is fixed with the driving disc 30. With the laminar flow fan 100 shown in fig. 10 to 13, since the center of the driving disk 30 is formed with the groove 32 toward the plurality of annular disks 10, the output shaft 21 of the laminar flow motor 20 is fixedly disposed in the groove 32 of the driving disk 30 after passing through the penetration hole 352.

Fig. 16 is a schematic view of the connection between the laminar flow fan 100 having the circular disk 30 with the conical protrusions 31 and the laminar flow motor 20, fig. 17 is a schematic view of the laminar flow fan 100 from another view angle in fig. 16, and fig. 18 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the laminar flow fan 100 in fig. 16. The surface of the driving disk 30 of the laminar flow fan 100 in fig. 16 to 18 facing the laminar flow motor 20 is a flat surface, and the surface facing the plurality of annular disks 10 has a conical projection 31 to guide the flow of air entering the laminar flow fan 100 and assist in forming laminar flow wind.

The main function of the driving disc 30 is to fixedly receive the laminar flow motor 20 and to be connected to the plurality of annular discs 10 through a connection member, so as to drive the plurality of annular discs 10 to rotate when the laminar flow motor 20 drives the driving disc 30 to rotate. With the laminar flow fan shown in fig. 16 to 18, since the surface of the drive disk 30 facing the laminar flow motor 20 is a plane, the output shaft 21 of the laminar flow motor 20 is fixedly disposed on the plane side of the drive disk 30 after passing through the through hole 352. In the laminar flow fan 100 shown in fig. 16 to 18, the surface of the driving disk 30 facing the plurality of annular disks 10 has the conical protrusions 31, so that the air entering the laminar flow fan 100 through the air inlet channel 11 can be effectively guided into the gaps between the annular disks 10, and the efficiency of forming laminar flow air is improved.

In a preferred embodiment, the connecting member is a connecting piece 40, and the cross section of the connecting piece 40 has two curves sequentially arranged along the rotation direction of the annular disk 10, and the chord length of the two curves is in a linear relation with the air quantity generated by the laminar flow fan 100. The connecting plate 40 may be provided in plural and evenly spaced throughout the drive disk 30 and the plurality of annular disks 10. The connecting pieces 40 uniformly penetrate through the driving disk 30 and the annular disks 10 at intervals, so that the connection relationship between the driving disk 30 and the annular disks 10 is stable, and further, when the laminar flow motor 20 drives the driving disk 30 to rotate, the driving disk 30 can stably drive the annular disks 10 to rotate, and the working reliability of the laminar flow fan 100 is improved.

It should be noted that the two

curves

41 and 42 may be arcs, non-arcs, straight lines, etc., and the straight line may be a special curve. Where the distance between the two ends of the curve 41 is the same as the distance between the two ends of the curve 42, the chord line 51 length may be the distance between the two ends of the curve 41 or the curve 42. When the distance between the two end points of the curve 41 is different from the distance between the two end points of the curve 42, if the two ends of the curve 41 and the curve 42 are not intersected, the length of the chord line 51 can be the length of the connecting line of the middle points of the curves of the cross section of the connecting sheet 40 except the

curves

41 and 42; if only one end of the

curves

41 and 42 intersect, the chord line 51 length may be the length of the line connecting the midpoint of the curve of the cross-section of the connecting piece 40 excluding the

curves

41, 42 and the end point of the intersection.

As shown in fig. 18, the connecting piece 40 may be a double-arc blade 401 having a cross section having double arcs arranged in sequence in the direction in which the annular disk 10 rotates: the inner arc 41 and the back arc 42, and the inner arc 41 and the back arc 42 are both convex towards the rotating direction of the annular disk 10, have the same center and are arranged in parallel. Fig. 18 is a schematic cross-sectional view of laminar fan 100 viewed from above, in which laminar flow motor 20 drives annular disk 10 to rotate clockwise, and back arcs 42 and inner arcs 41 project in the same direction as annular disk 10. In other embodiments, the laminar flow motor 20 may also drive the annular disk 10 to rotate counterclockwise, and the protruding directions of the back arc 42 and the inner arc 41 may be opposite to those shown in fig. 18.

Fig. 19 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the length of the chord line 51 of the connecting sheet 40 in fig. 18 and the air volume and the air pressure. Since the connecting piece 40 of the laminar fan 100 in fig. 18 is a double-arc blade 401, the distance between the two ends of the inner arc 41 and the distance between the two ends of the back arc 42 are the same, and the length of the chord line 51 may be the distance between the two ends of the inner arc 41 or the back arc 42. In fig. 19, the abscissa axis bladechard indicates the length of the chord line 51 of the connecting sheet 40 of the laminar flow fan 100, the left ordinate axis Mass flow rate indicates the air volume, and the right ordinate axis Pressure refers to the air Pressure. Specifically, fig. 19 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the length of the chord line 51 and the wind volume and the wind pressure when the outer diameter, the inner diameter, the number of layers, the distance, the thickness of the annular disk 10, the installation angle of the connecting sheet 40, and the rotation speed of the laminar flow motor 20 of the laminar flow fan 100 are all kept unchanged. The mounting angle of the connecting piece 40 of the present embodiment may be: on the same cross section of the connecting sheet 40 and the annular disk 10, a chord line 51 between both ends of the inner arc 41 forms an angle with an outer diameter 52 of the annular disk 10 passing through a midpoint of the chord line 51.

When the above-mentioned parameters are all kept unchanged, for example, in a preferred embodiment, the outer diameter of the annular disk 10 of the laminar flow fan 100 is 175 mm, the inner diameter of the annular disk 10 is 115 mm, the number of layers of the annular disks 10 is 8, the pitch of the annular disks 10 is 13.75 mm, the thickness of the annular disk 10 is 2 mm, the installation angle of the connecting piece 40 is 25.5 °, and the rotation speed of the laminar flow motor 20 is 1000rpm, it can be found that after the length of the chord line 51 is increased, both the air volume and the air pressure are greatly improved, and are substantially linear. Considering the limited space inherent in the floor air conditioner indoor unit 300, there is a certain constraint on the overall occupied volume of the laminar flow fan 100. When the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the annular disk 10 are constant, the longer the chord 51 is, the greater the air volume and the wind pressure of the laminar flow fan 100 are, but the length of the chord 51 is also restricted to a certain extent, so that the connecting piece 10 does not penetrate the annular disk 10 excessively, which leads to a decrease in the stability of the laminar flow fan 100. In summary, the length of the chord line 51 can be set to the maximum range that can be achieved, so that the air volume and the air pressure of the laminar flow fan 100 can meet the use requirements of users.

Thus, in the preferred embodiment described above, the chord line 51 length is set to the maximum range achievable while ensuring the stability of the laminar flow fan 100: 40 mm to 42 mm. When the length of the chord line 51 is set to 42 mm, the air volume of the laminar flow fan 100 may be 1741m³And h, the wind pressure can reach 118.9Pa, and the use requirements of users can be completely met. At this time, the difference between the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the annular disk 10 is 60 mm, and the length of the chord 51 is set to 42 mm, so that distances of about 9 mm are respectively reserved between the two ends of the inner arc 41 and the back arc 42 and the inner circumference and the outer circumference of the annular disk 10, and on the premise of ensuring the stability of the laminar flow fan 100, the length of the chord 51 is set to the maximum range, so that the air volume and the air pressure of the laminar flow fan 100 can meet the use requirements of users.

FIG. 20 is a schematic view showing the relationship between the installation angle α of the connecting piece 40 in FIG. 18 and the air volume and the air Pressure, since the connecting piece 40 of the laminar fan 100 in FIG. 18 can be a bi-arc blade 401, the installation angle α of the connecting piece 40 actually means the angle formed by the chord line 51 between the two ends of the inner arc 41 and the outer diameter 52 of the annular disk 10 passing through the midpoint of the chord line 51 on the same cross section of the bi-arc blade 401 and the annular disk 10. in FIG. 20, the abscissa axis Metal angle (α) means the installation angle of the bi-arc blade 401 of the laminar fan 100, that is, the angle formed by the chord line 51 between the two ends of the inner arc 41 and the outer diameter 52 of the annular disk 10 passing through the midpoint of the chord line 51 on the same cross section of the bi-arc blade 401 and the annular disk 10. the left ordinate axis refers to the Mass flow rate, the right ordinate axis to the air Pressure, specifically, FIG. 20 shows that the relationship between the outer diameter, inner diameter, chord length, layer number, thickness, chord length 401 of the bi-arc blade 401, and the rotational speed of the motor 20, and the linear arc angle α, which can be the linear arc angle 401 and the linear distance between the two ends of the inner arc blade 41 of the straight line of.

In the case where each of the above-mentioned parameters is kept constant, for example, in a preferred embodiment, the outer diameter of the ring-shaped disk 10 of the laminar fan 100 is 175 mm, the inner diameter of the ring-shaped disk 10 is 115 mm, the number of layers of the ring-shaped disks 10 is 8, the pitch of the ring-shaped disks 10 is 13.75 mm, the thickness of the ring-shaped disk 10 is 2 mm, the chord length of the double-arc blade 401 is 35 mm, the rotation speed of the laminar flow motor 20 is 1000rpm (revolutions per minute), the mounting angle α of the double-arc blade 401 may be set to-5 ° to 55 ° in consideration of the total air volume and the wind pressure, it is noted that the mounting angle α is positive when the chord line 51 between the two ends of the inner arc 41 passes through the middle point of the chord line 51 in the direction of rotation of the ring-shaped disk 10, and the mounting angle α is positive when the chord line 51 between the two ends of the ring-shaped disk 10 passes through the middle point 51 of the chord line 51 in the direction of rotation of the ring-shaped disk 10.

FIG. 21 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a laminar flow fan 100 having an aero blade 402, and FIG. 22 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a mounting angle α of the aero blade 402 of the laminar flow fan 100 of FIG. 21 with respect to air volume and air pressure, in a specific embodiment, the connecting piece 40 may also be an aero blade 402. the cross-sectional view of the aero blade 402 has a double arc protruding in a direction of rotation of the ring disk 10, and the double arc includes an inner arc 41 and a back arc 42 sequentially arranged in a direction of rotation of the ring disk 10, the inner arc 41 and the back arc 42 having different centers and intersecting both ends. FIG. 21 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the laminar flow fan 100 when the motor 20 drives the ring disk 10 to rotate clockwise, and the back arc 42 and the inner arc 41 protrude in a direction consistent with the direction of rotation of the ring disk 10. in other embodiments, the laminar flow motor 20 may also drive the ring disk 10 to rotate while the protruding direction of the back arc 42 and the inner arc 41 may be opposite to that shown in.

The installation angle α of the aircraft blade 402 in fig. 22 actually refers to the angle formed by the chord line 51 between the two ends of the inner arc 41 or the back arc 42 and the outer diameter 52 of the annular disk 10 passing through the midpoint of the chord line 51 on the same cross section of the aircraft blade 402 and the annular disk 10, the abscissa axis Metal angle (α) in fig. 22 refers to the installation angle of the aircraft blade 402 of the laminar fan 100, that is, the angle formed by the chord line 51 between the two ends of the inner arc 41 or the back arc 42 and the outer diameter 52 of the annular disk 10 passing through the midpoint of the chord line 51 on the same cross section of the aircraft blade 402 and the annular disk 10, the left ordinate axis Mass flow rate refers to the air flow rate, and the right ordinate axis Pressure refers to Pressure, specifically, fig. 22 shows that the installation angle α is related to the air Pressure and the air flow rate when the outer diameter, the inner diameter, the air Pressure, the pitch, the thickness, the chord length of the aircraft blade 402, and the rotational speed of the laminar flow motor 20 are all kept constant, and the installation angle 402 of the inner chord length of the aircraft blade 41 or the chord line 51 of the straight line of the aircraft blade of this embodiment can be.

While each of the above-mentioned parameters is kept constant, for example, in a preferred embodiment, the outer diameter of the annular disk 10 of the laminar fan 100 is 175 mm, the inner diameter of the annular disk 10 is 115 mm, the number of layers of the annular disks 10 is 8, the pitch of the annular disks 10 is 13.75 mm, the thickness of the annular disk 10 is 2 mm, the chord length of the aero blade 402 is 35 mm, and the rotation speed of the laminar flow motor 20 is 1000rpm, at which time the mounting angle α of the aero blade 402 may be set to-50 ° to 15 ° in consideration of the wind pressure and the wind volume.

Fig. 23 is a schematic diagram of connection between the laminar flow fan 100 and the laminar flow motor 20 with gradually changing pitches of the plurality of annular disks 10, fig. 24 is a schematic diagram of connection between the laminar flow fan 100 and the laminar flow motor 20 from another view angle in fig. 23, and fig. 25 is a schematic diagram of relations between gradually changing pitches of the plurality of annular disks 10 of the laminar flow fan 100 and air volume and air pressure in fig. 23.

As shown in fig. 23 and 24, the connection member of the laminar flow fan 100 may also be a connection rod 60. The connecting rods 60 may also be provided in plurality, and penetrate through the driving disk 30 and the plurality of annular disks 10 at even intervals, so as to ensure that the connection relationship between the driving disk 30 and the plurality of annular disks 10 is stable, and further ensure that the driving disk 30 can stably drive the plurality of annular disks 10 to rotate when the laminar flow motor 20 drives the driving disk 30 to rotate, thereby improving the operational reliability of the laminar flow fan 100. As the distance between two adjacent annular disks 10 gradually increases from one side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side, the air volume of the laminar flow fan 100 can be effectively increased, so that the air outlet of the laminar flow fan 100 meets the use requirement of a user. In a preferred embodiment, the distance between two adjacent annular disks 10 has the same variation, that is, the distance between two adjacent annular disks 10 increases from one side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side.

In fig. 25, the abscissa axis damping uniform expansion Plate distance increment refers to the amount of change in the distance between two adjacent ring disks 10 in the direction from one side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side, the left ordinate axis Mass flow rate refers to the air volume, and the right ordinate axis Pressure refers to the air Pressure. Also, the variation amount of the pitch between two adjacent annular disks 10 is the same, that is, the increase or decrease of the pitch between two adjacent annular disks 10 is the same.

Specifically, fig. 25 is a schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between the gradual change of the pitch of the plurality of annular disks 10 and the air volume and the air pressure when the outer diameter, the inner diameter, the number, the thickness of the annular disks 10 of the laminar flow fan 100 and the rotation speed of the laminar flow motor 20 are all kept constant. As shown in fig. 25, when the above-mentioned parameters are all kept constant, the distance between every two adjacent annular disks 10 in the plurality of annular disks 10 gradually changes from one side far away from the driving disk 30 to the other side, which has a large influence on the air volume and a small influence on the air pressure. When the variation of the spacing between two adjacent annular disks 10 in the direction from the side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side, which is indicated by the axis of abscissa, is a positive number, it is described that the spacing between each two adjacent annular disks 10 in the plurality of annular disks 10 gradually increases from the side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side; when the amount of change in the pitch between two adjacent ring disks 10 in the direction from the side away from the driver disk 30 to the other side, which is indicated by the abscissa axis, is a negative number, it is described that the pitch between each two adjacent ring disks 10 in the plurality of ring disks 10 gradually decreases from the side away from the driver disk 30 to the other side.

As can be seen from fig. 25, when the pitch variation amounts between every two adjacent annular disk sheets 10 in the plurality of annular disk sheets 10 are-1 mm, 1 mm and 2 mm, the air volume and the air pressure of the laminar flow fan 100 are both greatly improved. The interval between every two adjacent ring disks 10 in the plurality of ring disks 10 is set to gradually increase from one side far from the driving disk 30 to the other side, considering the air volume and the air pressure of the laminar flow fan 100 together. In a preferred embodiment, the outer diameter of the annular disk 10 of the laminar flow fan 100 is 175 mm, the inner diameter of the annular disk 10 is 115 mm, the number of the annular disks 10 is 8, the thickness of the annular disk 10 is 2 mm, and the rotation speed of the laminar flow motor 20 is 1000rpm (revolutions per minute), and at this time, in comprehensive consideration of the air volume and the air pressure of the laminar flow fan 100, the distance between two adjacent annular disks 10 in the 8 annular disks 10 may be set sequentially from one side far away from the driving disk 30 to the other side: the distance between two adjacent annular disks 10 is gradually increased by 1 mm from one side far away from the drive disk 30 to the other side, namely, the distance between two adjacent annular disks 10 is 13.75 mm, 14.75 mm, 15.75 mm, 16.75 mm, 17.75 mm, 18.75 mm and 19.75 mm. It should be noted that, the distance between two adjacent annular disks 10 in the plurality of annular disks 10 gradually increases from the side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side, which actually means that the distance between two adjacent annular disks 10 gradually increases along the direction of the airflow flowing in the air inlet channel 11.

Fig. 26 is a partial sectional view of a laminar flow fan 100 having a plurality of ring disks 10 with gradually changing inner diameters, and fig. 27 is a schematic diagram of the relationship between the gradual change of the inner diameters of the plurality of ring disks 10 and the air volume and the air pressure of the laminar flow fan 100 in fig. 26. As the inner diameters of the plurality of annular disks 10 gradually decrease from one side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side, the air volume of the laminar flow fan 100 can be effectively increased, so that the air outlet of the laminar flow fan 100 meets the use requirement of a user. In a preferred embodiment, the inner diameters of two adjacent annular disks 10 vary by the same amount, that is, the inner diameters of the annular disks 10 decrease from the side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side by the same amount.

In fig. 27, the abscissa axis damping uniform expansion Inner radius increment refers to the variation of the Inner diameter of each ring disc 10 from the Inner diameter of the ring disc 10 adjacent to the lower side, the left ordinate axis Massflow rate refers to the air volume, and the right ordinate axis Pressure rise refers to the air Pressure. Specifically, fig. 27 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the gradual change of the inner diameters of a plurality of annular disks 10 and the air volume and the air pressure when the outer diameter, the distance, the number, the thickness of the annular disks 10 of the laminar flow fan 100 and the rotation speed of the laminar flow motor 20 are all kept constant. As shown in fig. 27, when the above-mentioned parameters are all kept constant, the inner diameters of the plurality of annular disks 10 gradually change from one side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side, and the influence on the air volume is large and the influence on the air pressure is small. When the variation of the inner diameter of each annular disk 10 represented by the abscissa axis and the inner diameter of the adjacent annular disk 10 below is a positive number, it means that the inner diameters of the plurality of annular disks 10 gradually increase from one side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side; when the change amount of the inner diameter of each ring disk 10 shown by the abscissa axis and the inner diameter of the ring disk 10 adjacent below is a negative number, it means that the inner diameters of the plurality of ring disks 10 gradually decrease from one side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side.

As can be seen from fig. 27, when the inner diameters of the plurality of annular disks 10 gradually decrease from one side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side, the air volume of the laminar flow fan 100 increases and the air pressure decreases slightly; when the inner diameters of the plurality of ring disks 10 gradually increase from one side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side, the wind pressure of the laminar flow fan 100 slightly increases and the wind volume greatly decreases. Thus, the inner diameters of the plurality of ring disks 10 are set to be gradually reduced from one side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side in consideration of the air volume and the air pressure of the laminar flow fan 100.

In a preferred embodiment, the outer diameter of the annular disk 10 of the laminar flow fan 100 is 175 mm, the pitch of the annular disks 10 is 13.75 mm, the number of the annular disks 10 is 8, the thickness of the annular disk 10 is 2 mm, and the rotation speed of the laminar flow motor 20 is 1000rpm (revolutions per minute), and at this time, the variation between the inner diameter of each annular disk 10 and the inner diameter of the adjacent annular disk 10 below may be set to be-5 mm in consideration of the air volume and the air pressure of the laminar flow fan 100. That is, the inner diameters of the 8 annular disks 10 from one side to the other side away from the driving disk 30 can be set as follows: the inner diameter of each annular disk 10 is reduced by 5mm from the inner diameter of the adjacent annular disk 10 below, by 115 mm, 110 mm, 105 mm, 100 mm, 95 mm, 90 mm, 85 mm, and 80 mm. It should be noted that the distance between the annular disks 10 in the above description specifically refers to the distance between two adjacent annular disks 10.
