- the conventional centrifugal fan operates as follows.
- the impeller 116 When the rotational shaft 112 is rotated as the driving motor 110 is driven, the impeller 116 is rotated to suck air through the suction opening 102.
- the air sucked through the suction opening 102 is sent in the radial direction by the blades 120 of the impeller 116 to pass through the diffusers 132, a static pressure of the air being increased while passing through the diffusers 132, and then, flows downwardly through a space between an inner circumferential surface of the impeller casing and an outer circumferential surface of the partition plate. And then, the air is guided toward the center by the rear vane 136 so as to be guided to pass through the driving motor.
- the air While passing through the driving motor 110, the air cools the motor 110 and then externally discharged through the discharge hole 106 formed at the motor housing 108.
- the conventional centrifugal fan has the following problems.
- Document DE 297 17 906 discloses a blower having at least a blower wheel propelled by an engine and an idler on the same axis than the blower wheel, both being built into a housing.
- the idler has a pressing side along the blower wheel and a diffuser side at the opposite of the blower wheel. Or each side, there is a same number of guide vanes.
- the guide vanes extend radially outwards at radial distance of the blower wheel.
- the guide vanes extend internally to the center of the idler and a connection creates a flow channel between each guide vane on the pressing side and its corresponding vane on the diffuser side.
- Document EP 1 297 772 discloses a centrifugal blower for vacuum cleaner including air guides so that air sequentially passing through an impeller, diffuser vanes and guide vanes is guided in a concentrated fashion toward the rotor of a motor.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a centrifugal fan capable of enhancing a suction force and efficiency by reducing a flow loss of air by installing an air guiding member at a diffuser and inducing air discharged from the diffuser to a rear vane, and a vacuum cleaner having the centrifugal fan.
- centrifugal fan according to claim 1 and a vacuum cleaner according to claim 5.
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of a vacuum cleaner in accordance with the present invention

- a cleaner in accordance with the present invention includes a cleaner body 14 having a dust collection filter 10 and a centrifugal fan 12, an extension pipe 18 connected with the cleaner body 14 by a suction hose 16, and a suction nozzle 20 mounted at an end portion of the extension pipe 18 and sucking dust and debris from the floor.
- the cleaner body 14 includes a first chamber 24 having a connection part 22 formed at a front side thereof to which the suction hose 16 is connected and a dust collection filter 10 installed therein, and a second chamber 26 having the centrifugal fan 12 installed therein.
- a filter 28 is mounted at a suction side of the second chamber 26 and an exhaust hole 30 is formed to externally discharge air discharged from the centrifugal fan 12.
- the centrifugal fan 12 includes an impeller casing 52 having a suction opening 50 formed at its front side, a motor housing 56 mounted at a lower side of the impeller casing 52 and having a discharge hole 54 for discharging air, a driving motor 58 installed in the motor housing 56 and generating a rotational force, an impeller 62 rotatably disposed at the impeller casing 52 and connected with the driving motor by a rotational shaft 60 to generate an air blowing force, and a guide vane 68 rotatably disposed at a rear side of the impeller 62, increasing a static pressure of air sent from the impeller 62, and guiding air sent from the impeller 62 so as to pass through the driving motor 58 to the discharge hole 54.
- the driving motor 58 includes a stator 70 fixed on an inner circumferential surface of the motor housing 56, to which power is applied, and a rotor 72 disposed at an inner circumferential surface of the stator 70, rotated by an electromagnetic force when power is applied to the stator 70.
- the rotational shaft 60 is fixed at the rotor 72.
- the impeller 62 includes a hub 64 fixed at the rotational shaft 60 by a holder 74 and a plurality of blades 66 connected at an outer circumferential surface of the hub 64 at equal intervals and sending air in a radial direction.
- Figure 6 is a perspective view of a guide vane of the centrifugal fan in accordance with the present invention
- Figure 7 is an enlarged view of a portion 'A' of Figure 6 .
- the guide vane 68 includes a plate-type partition plate disposed at a lower side of the impeller 62, diffusers 80 formed at equal intervals at an edge portion of an upper surface of the partition plate, arranged at a certain interval from an outer circumferential surface of the blades 66 of the impeller, and increasing a static pressure of air sent from the impeller 62, a rear vane 84 formed at a lower surface of the partition plate 82 and guiding air discharged from the diffusers 80 to pass through the driving motor 58, and air guiding members 90 formed on an outer surface of the diffusers 80 at equal intervals and forcibly introducing air which has passed the diffusers toward the rear vane 84 in order to reduce a flow loss.
- the diffusers 80 includes a plurality of diffuser blades 80a disposed to overlap with a certain interval therebetween at the edge portion of the upper surface of the partition plate 82 in a circumferential direction, and a passage 86 is formed between the diffuser blades 80a to allow air to pass therethrough.
- a passage 86 an area of an exit side through which air is discharged to the rear vane 84 is larger than an area of an entrance side at which air sent from the impeller 62 is introduced, whereby air can spread to increase its static pressure and reduce air flow rate.
- the air guiding member 90 is formed at the side of each of the diffuser blades 80a.
- the air guiding member 90 is formed as an air-foil type plate at an outer side of each diffuser blade 80a in a right angle direction.
- the air guiding member 90 is formed to be tilt downwardly at the exit side of the passage 86 of the diffuser 80.
- One side of the air guiding member 90 is integrally formed with the side of the diffuser blade 80a, and the other side thereof contacts with the inner circumferential surface of the impeller casing 52.
- the rear vane 84 is formed in a spiral form in an outer direction at a lower surface of the partition plate 82 in order to guide air whose static pressure has been increased while passing through the diffuser 80 to the driving motor 58.
- the rotor 72 When power is applied to the driving motor, the rotor 72 is rotated according to interaction of the rotor 72 and the stator 70, and accordingly, the rotational shaft 60 connected with the rotor 72 is rotated to rotate the impeller 62. Then, air is sucked through the suction opening 50, and the sucked air is sent in a radial direction by the blades 66, passes through the passage 86 between diffuser blades 80a, during which its static pressure is increased.
- air guided by the rear vane 84 performs a cooling operation on the driving motor 58 while passing between the stator 70 and the rotor 72 of the driving motor 58 and then is discharged externally through the discharge hole 54 formed at the motor housing 56.
