[0011] In a class of this embodiment, the pressure balance hole is a circular hole or a non-circular hole.
[0012] In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, provided is a blade for a centrifugal fan, comprising a front edge portion, a back edge portion, and multiple pressure balance holes. The front edge portion operates to blow air from the outside of the blade, the back edge portion operates to blow air to the outside of the blade, and the pressure balance hole is disposed on the back edge portion.
[0013] In a class of this embodiment, the pressure balance holes are distributed in an array, uniformly or randomly.
[0014] In a class of this embodiment, the pressure balance holes are straight through holes or inclined through holes.
[0015] In a class of this embodiment, the pressure balance holes form a hole net whereby adjusting pressure on both side of the blade.
[0016] In a class of this embodiment, a diameter of the pressure balance hole ranges from 0.1 mmto 100 mm.
[0017] In a class of this embodiment, the pressure balance hole is a circular hole or a non-circular hole.
[0018] Advantages of the blade for an axial fan of the invention comprise: 1) the pressure balance holes disposed on the back edge portion are capable of balancing pressure and reducing pressure difference between a front side and a back side of the blade; 2) the pressure balance holes are capable of eliminating a backflow phenomena caused by separation of boundary layer airflow at the back edge portion on a windward side of the blade and thus reducing power consumption and noise; 3) the pressure balance holes are capable of preventing dust from being settled on a back edge portion on a windward side of the blade.
[0019] Advantages of the blade for a centrifugal fan of the invention comprise: 1) the pressure balance holes disposed on the back edge portion are capable of balancing pressure and reducing pressure difference between a front side and a back side of the blade; 2) the pressure balance holes are capable of eliminating a backflow phenomena caused by separation of boundary layer airflow at the back edge portion on a windward side of the blade and thus reducing power consumption and noise; 3) the pressure balance holes are capable of preventing dust from being settled on a back edge portion on a windward side of the blade.
