Definitions

  • the present disclosure is directed generally to a fan assembly that improves efficiency and lowers power consumption.
  • Fresh, clean air is one of the most basic needs for human beings.
  • air can contain many different kinds of impurities, including particulates, viruses, bacteria, and fungi, all of which can cause or aggravate health issues, illness, and other negative outcomes.
  • an air filter In order to improve air quality, there are many different technologies that clean air, the most common of which is an air filter.
  • filters clean air by means of a fan that pushes and/or pulls the air through the filter unit.
  • Axial fans generate high fiowrates, but result in relatively low maximum pressures.
  • radial fans generate relatively high maximum pressures but have relatively low maximum fiowrates.
  • a commonly utilized type of fan is the forward curved radial fan. Compared to a backward curved radial fan, the forward curved fan is intended for higher maximum flow rates and lower maximum pressures. Additionally, a forward curved radial fan has the advantage of high performance with minimal sound, which is an important feature for air purifiers. In contrast, however, there is high consumer demand for high flow rates and a small fan/appliance volume. Essentially, consumers want smaller fans with higher output and lower energy consumption. These two needs, however, are in direct conflict.
  • a fan assembly comprises a housing with an air inlet, a fan inlet, and an air outlet; and an impeller comprising a plurality of circumferentially positioned spaced blades, and a motor configured to drive the impeller.
  • the fan assembly has an air-permeable guard which is positioned between the air inlet and the fan inlet to prevent users from touching the impeller.
  • the air-permeable guard is spaced a first distance from the fan inlet, and a second distance from the air inlet so that a filter may be provided between the air inlet and the air-permeable guard.
  • the fan assembly reduces the drop in pressure experienced by air as it enters the impeller region as a result of the larger cross-sectional area that the air-permeable guard may have if it is not confined to the area available for the relatively small fan inlet because it is placed at the first distance from the fan inlet.
  • the fan assembly preferably also allows air to have a rotational component as it enters the air inlet and impeller region.
  • Applicant has further recognized that the prior art inlet configuration limits the rotational component of the air before it encounters the region of the fan blades, thereby limiting the performance of the fan in terms of maximum pressure as well as maximum flow.
  • the air-permeable guard By positioning the air-permeable guard at a predetermined distance from the fan inlet, in an embodiment, the incoming air is allowed to at least partially rotate prior to entering the fan inlet. This results in a significant improvement in fan performance.
  • the plurality of circumferentially positioned spaced blades is positioned circumferentially around a domed center of the impeller, the domed center facing the fan inlet, and wherein the domed center co-rotates with the spaced blades.
  • This will reduce resistance for the airflow, as the air can rotate with the rotating center of the dome, which results in an increased efficiency.
  • each of the plurality of circumferentially positioned spaced blades is curved. This results in a higher performance.
  • the domed center of the impeller has a plurality of spokes. This results in less noise.
  • the maximum height of the domed center is approximately 1 to 75% of the maximum height of the impeller. According to another embodiment the maximum height of the domed center is approximately 1 to 60% of the maximum height of the impeller, and according to yet another embodiment the maximum height of the domed center is approximately 1 to 50% of the maximum height of the impeller. If the dome is higher, air will bump on the dome thereby increasing resistance and reducing performance. The dome is present to provide room for the motor.
  • the maximum width of the domed center is approximately 20 to 95% of the maximum width of the impeller.
  • the housing includes two or more air inlets. This allows for an increased filter surface, and a higher inflow.
  • the air-permeable guard comprises a grid.
  • the diameter of the fan inlet is approximately 50 to 100% of the diameter of the impeller. A larger diameter disturbs the air flow and will result in increased noise, while a smaller diameter impedes the air flow.
  • the predetermined distance between the air-permeable guard and the fan inlet is approximately 2 to 80 mm, and can be 2 to 30 mm.
  • the air-permeable guard is spaced a predetermined distance from the air inlet. This provides room for the filter.
  • the motor is positioned on a side of the impeller facing away from the fan inlet.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a fan assembly in accordance with an embodiment.
  • FIG. 2 is a grid formation for an air-permeable guard in accordance with an embodiment.
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an impeller in accordance with an embodiment.
  • FIG. 4 is a top view of an impeller in accordance with an embodiment.
  • FIG. 5 is an exploded view of a fan assembly in accordance with an embodiment.
  • FIG. 6 shows an advantageous shape of a volute in the impeller housing to optimally guide the air flow.
  • FIG. 7 shows an embodiment in which the plates in the air outlet are aligned with the air flow.
  • the present disclosure describes various embodiments of apparatus, systems, devices, and methods for improving the function of a fan assembly. More generally, applicant has recognized and appreciated that it would be beneficial to improve efficiency and reduce power consumption of a fan during operation. A particular goal of utilization of embodiments of the present disclosure is to be able to increase the output of a fan assembly without increasing power consumption.

  • the fan assembly can alternatively be positioned in a vertical position, a tilted position, and a wide variety of other positions.
  • Housing 20 also includes a fan inlet 60, an air inlet 70 and an air outlet 80.
  • the fan and air inlets are sized and/or shaped to allow air to enter from the environment and engage with the impeller 30. Accordingly, the fan and air inlets can be round, square, or any of a wide variety of shapes. Further, housing 20 can include two or more air inlets 70, and/or two or more fan inlets 60.

According to an embodiment, fan inlet is open to allow maximal air flow into the impeller region.
  • air inlet and/or fan inlet are circular, with a diameter in the range of approximately 50-100% of the diameter of impeller 30, and preferably in the range of approximately 65-90% of the impeller diameter.
  • the distance from the fan inlet 60 to the impeller can be, for example, smaller than 0.03 x D, preferably 0.02 x D, where "D" is the diameter of the impeller, although a variety of distances are possible.
  • fan assembly 10 also includes an air-permeable guard 50 positioned between air inlet 70 and fan inlet 60.
  • air-permeable guard 50 is a grid, mesh, net, or similar design that maximizes air flow while simultaneously preventing fingers or other body parts from entering the fan inlet and encountering the impeller and/or motor.
  • the air-permeable guard 50 includes sufficient number and/or size of openings to allow for maximum air flow. As shown in FIG. 2, for example, an embodiment of the air-permeable guard 50 is viewed from above and has a height "z" and a width "y" such that the total area of the guard is "z" x "y", although other configurations are possible.

  • “1" and “m” can be in the range of approximately 4-18 mm and more preferably they are in the range of approximately 6-15 mm.
  • Air flow through the air- permeable guard 50 can be defined as the ratio of the area allowing air flow ("1" x “m” x the number of openings) over the total area of the guard ("z" x "y")- According to an embodiment, the ratio is approximately 30-90%, and preferably in the range of approximately 50-75%.
  • the air- permeable guard 50 is shown as square in FIG. 2, the guard can be any of a variety of shapes including rectangular, circular, and many others. As an example, the guard components can be rounded on the leading edge and pointed on the trailing edge to maximize air flow, among many other configurations.
  • the openings in FIG. 2 are all preferably substantially similar (i.e.
