FIGS. 1 to 19 , and24 . -
FIGS. 1 to 4 show a blower according to the first embodiment of the present invention. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , arotation body 2 is rotated by a motor 1, and therotation body 2 includes ahub 3, a plurality ofblades 4 which are radially mounted on an outer periphery of thehub 3, and ashroud 5 disposed on an opposite side from thehub 3 for connecting theblades 4 to one another. - The arrow A shows a rotation direction. Substantially one-wing
shaped projections 8 are formed on an outer periphery of negative pressure surfaces of theblades 4.FIG. 2 is a sectional view of theblade 4. Aphantom line 9 shows a shape of the conventional blade formed with noprojection 8. A maximum height portion of theprojection 8 is disposed at outer side of a substantiallycentral portion 10 of theprojection 8. -
FIGS. 3 and 4 show detailed shapes of theblade 4 and theprojection 8 formed on theblade 4. Theprojection 8 of eachblade 4 is formed such that a width of theprojection 8 from an inner peripheral side to an outer peripheral side of thehub 3 are the same (W1=W2=W3) over the entire height of theblade 4, and a height of theprojection 8 is the same (H1=H2=H3).FIG. 4A is a front view of theblade 4 on the side of the negative pressure surface.FIGS. 4B, 4C and 4D are sectional views of an upper portion, a central portion and a lower portion of theblade 4. - According to this structure, since the
projections 8 are formed on theblades 4 on the side of the negative pressure surface, airflow which is once separated adheres again and flows along theblade 4. Therefore, even if theshroud 5 is not formed in the stepwise manner as in the conventional technique, the separation region of air from the negative pressure surface of theblade 4 can extremely be reduced, turbulence is not generated almost at all on the discharging side of the blower, and the volume of air is increased. -
FIGS. 5 to 7 show a blower according to the second embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the blower, and a portion of the shape of theprojection 8 is different from that of the first embodiment. Other portions are the same.FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of an essential portion of the blower. -
FIG. 7A is a front view of theblade 4 on the side of the negative pressure surface.FIGS. 7B, 7C and 7D are sectional views of an upper portion, a central portion and a lower portion of theblade 4, respectively. - The
projection 8 of theblade 4 of the second embodiment is formed such that a width of theprojection 8 from an inner peripheral side to an outer peripheral side of thehub 3 are the same (W1=W2=W3) over the entire height of theblade 4, but a height of theprojection 8 is gradually reduced toward the hub 3 (H1>H2>H3). - With this structure, airflow which is once separated again adheres to the substantially one-wing shaped
projection 8 in which its maximum height is located at the outer side of the substantially central portion over the entire height of the blade on the side of the negative pressure surface of theblade 4, and the airflow flows along theprojection 8. Therefore, the separation region of air from the negative pressure surface of theblade 4 is reduced, and the height of theprojection 8 on the side of thehub 3 is lowered and thus, reduction in the volume of air can be suppressed. That is, turbulence is not generated almost at all on the discharging side of the blower, and the volume of air is increased. With this, noise can be reduced. -
FIGS. 8 to 10 shows a blower according to the third embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the blower, and a portion of the shape of theprojection 8 is different from that of the first embodiment. Other portions are the same.FIG. 9 is an enlarged view of an essential portion of the blower. -
FIG. 10A is a front view of theblade 4 on the side of the negative pressure surface.FIGS. 10B, 10C and 10D are sectional views of an upper portion, a central portion and a lower portion of theblade 4, respectively. - The
projection 8 of theblade 4 of the third embodiment is formed such that the maximum height over the entire height of the blade is the same (H1=H2=H3), but the width of theprojection 8 from the inner peripheral side toward the outer peripheral side is reduced toward the hub 3 (W1>W2>W3). - With this structure, airflow which is once separated again adheres to the substantially one-wing shaped
projection 8 in which its maximum height is located at the outer side of the substantially central portion over the entire height of the blade on the side of the negative pressure surface of theblade 4, and the airflow flows along theprojection 8. Therefore, the separation region of air from the negative pressure surface of theblade 4 can extremely be reduced. That is, turbulence is not generated almost at all on the discharging side of the blower, and the volume of air is increased. Since the width of theprojection 8 on the side of thehub 3 is reduced, the reduction of volume of air can be suppressed. That is, turbulence is not generated almost at all on the discharging side of the blower, and the volume of air is increased. With this, noise can be reduced. -
FIGS. 11 to 13 show a blower according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the blower, and a portion of the shape of theprojection 8 is different from that of the first embodiment. Other portions are the same.FIG. 12 is an enlarged view of an essential portion of the blower. -
FIG. 13A is a front view of theblade 4 on the side of the negative pressure surface.FIGS. 13B, 13C and 13D are sectional views of an upper portion, a central portion and a lower portion of theblade 4, respectively. - The
projection 8 of theblade 4 of the fourth embodiment is formed such that theprojection 8 is not formed over the entire height of the blade but is formed to a midpoint from the side of theshroud 5, and the width of theprojection 8 from the inner peripheral side to the outer peripheral side of thehub 3 is the same (W1=W2), and the maximum height of theprojection 8 is the same (H1=H2). - With this structure, airflow which is once separated from the
projection 8 on the side of the negative pressure surface again adheres and flows along theprojection 8. Thus, the separation region of air from the negative pressure surface of theblade 4 can be reduced. Further, the length of theprojection 8 on the side of theshroud 5 is set to an appropriate position. With this, the reduction in the volume of air can be suppressed. That is, turbulence is not generated almost at all on the discharging side of the blower, and the volume of air is increased. With this, noise can be reduced. -
FIGS. 14 to 16 show a blower according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the blower, and a portion of the shape of theprojection 8 is different from that of the first embodiment. Other portions are the same.FIG. 15 is an enlarged view of an essential portion of the blower. -
FIG. 16A is a front view of theblade 4 on the side of the negative pressure surface.FIGS. 16B, 16C and 16D are sectional views of an upper portion, a central portion and a lower portion of theblade 4, respectively. - The
projection 8 of theblade 4 of the fifth embodiment is formed such that theprojection 8 is not formed over the entire height of the blade but is formed to a midpoint from the side of theshroud 5, and the width of theprojection 8 from the inner peripheral side to the outer peripheral side of thehub 3 is the same (W1=W2), and the maximum height of theprojection 8 is reduced toward the hub 3 (H1>H2). - With this structure, airflow which is once separated on the side of the negative pressure surface again adheres to the
projection 8 and flows along theprojection 8. Thus, the separation region of air from the negative pressure surface of theblade 4 can be reduced. Further, the length of theprojection 8 on the side of theshroud 5 is set to an appropriate position, and the height of theprojection 8 on the side of thehub 3 is reduced. With this, the reduction in the volume of air can be suppressed. That is, turbulence is not generated almost at all on the discharging side of the blower, and the volume of air is increased. With this, noise can be reduced. Thus, the effect of the first to fourth embodiments is enhanced, whereby noise can be reduced and the volume of air is increased. -
FIGS. 17 to 19 show a blower according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 17 is a perspective view of the blower, and a portion of the shape of theprojection 8 is different from that of the first embodiment. Other portions are the same.FIG. 18 is an enlarged view of an essential portion of the blower. -
FIG. 19A is a front view of theblade 4 on the side of the negative pressure surface.FIGS. 19B, 19C and 19D are sectional views of an upper portion, a central portion and a lower portion of theblade 4, respectively. - The

projection 8 and flows along theprojection 8. Thus, the separation region of air from the negative pressure surface of theblade 4 can be reduced. Further, the length of theprojection 8 on the side of theshroud 5 is set to an appropriate position, and the width of theprojection 8 on the side of thehub 3 is reduced. With this, the reduction in the volume of air can be suppressed. That is, turbulence is not generated almost at all on the discharging side of the blower, and the volume of air is increased. With this, noise can be reduced. Thus, the effect of the first to fourth embodiments is enhanced, whereby noise can be reduced and the volume of air is increased. -
FIGS. 24 show another concrete example according to the fourth embodiment shown inFIGS. 11 to 13 . - As in the side of the negative pressure surface of the
blade 4 shown inFIG. 24A , a cross sectional shape of the blade taken along the line K1-K1 passing through theprojection 8 which is formed from theshroud 5 to a midpoint is formed such that the wing thickness is gently increased from a front edge F1 of theblade 4 along a rear edge E1 as shown inFIG. 24B , the blade wing thickness becomes maximum at a point P1 and then, is reduced on the opposite side gently to a point P2. At the point P2, the wing thickness on the side of the negative pressure surface is increased, and the wing thickness becomes maximum at the rear edge E1 from the point P2 in a point P3. The cross sectional shape of the blade taken along the line K2-K2 passing through theprojection 8 which is formed from theshroud 5 to the midpoint is formed as shown inFIG. 24C . - The
blade 4 of the seventh embodiment is formed such that the wing thickness becomes constricted at thepoint 2 which is a boundary with respect to theprojection 8 to the midpoint to the rear edge E1 from the front edge F1. - That is, the
projection 8 extends from the point P2 to the rear edge E1, and the position of the maximum wing thickness point (point P3) is located (outside of the blower) closer to the rear edge E1 than the substantially central portion of theprojection 8. - With this shape, even if air which flows along the surface of the
blade 4 separates, the air reliably adheres to the surface of theblade 4 and thus, swirl is prevented from being generated and noise can be reduced. - Although the seventh embodiment is a different example from the fourth embodiment, the shape of the
projection 8 of theblade 4 shownFIG. 4 in the first embodiment, the shape of theprojection 8 of theblade 4 shown inFIG. 7 in the second embodiment, and the shape of theprojection 8 of theblade 4 shown inFIG. 10 in the third embodiment can also be employed. - The present invention can be applied to blowers of ceiling type or cassette type air conditioners and various ventilators.
