Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、空気調和機の送風機に用いられる斜流羽根を備えた送風機羽根車に関するもので、特に、同羽根車の羽根の断面形状に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
特許文献1にあるように従来の軸流送風機は、第8および9図に示すような構成になっていた。すなわち、円筒状のハブ12に複数枚の厚翼の翼型をした羽根11を放射状に設けて軸流送風機羽根車10を構成していた。
【0003】
軸流送風機羽根車10を円筒座標Bで切断して展開した厚翼の翼型をした羽根は、第9図の羽根13のような形状をしていた。すなわち、反り線14の最大反り高さの位置は前縁から弦長の40%から50%の位置にしていた。また、その反り線14を2つの2次曲線にて構成していた。また、翼型の最大厚みを、前縁から弦長の30%から40%の位置にするというものである。
【0004】
この軸流送風機10を適当なケ−シングに納めて回転させることにより送風作用を生じるようにしていた。
また斜流送風機の羽根車については例えば特許文献2に開示されているものがある。通常の斜流羽根車の構成と異なり、剥離点をより後縁寄りにずらすため、反り線の最大反り高さの位置が前縁と後縁の中央よりも後縁側に寄った反り形状に構成されたものである。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記従来の軸流送風機の構成では、羽根11の反り線14の最大反り高さの位置と、厚翼の翼型の最大厚みの位置を規定しただけである。これでは、反り線を円弧翼として最大反り高さの位置のみをずらしたものであり、且つ、羽根の半径方向の分布に関しては、何の記載もないものである。また、羽根13の翼型の最大厚み位置を規定したに過ぎない。
【0008】
そもそも、反り線は送風機の空力性能を規定する重要な要因である。最大反り高さの位置を前縁から弦長の40%から50%にしただけで、羽根の半径方向への分布を規定していなければ、充分な空力性能の向上、即ち、ファン効率の向上は望めない。
【0009】
羽根13の翼型の最大厚み位置は、送風機の騒音性能に影響を与える要因である。この位置を前縁から弦長の30%から40%位置にすると言うことは、NACAの翼列デ−タにも開示されていることであり、低騒音への効果も薄いものであることが、既知の事柄として我々の実験より判明している。
【0010】
また上記従来の斜流送風機の構成においても、前縁から後縁までの翼断面についての形状特徴のみの開示であり、羽根の半径方向への分布については一切記載されていない。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために本発明は、略円錐台状のハブに複数枚の羽根を設けてなる斜流送風機羽根車において、羽根の外周側弦長がハブ側弦長より長くて、前記円錐台の中心線上に頂点を持ち、これを起点とする円錐で、前記の羽根を切断して展開した円錐座標における前記羽根の断面形状において、反り線の最大反り高さを前記羽根断面に対応する円弧翼の最大反り高さより低くして、且つ、前記羽根の半径方向に渡って、最大反り高さと円弧翼の最大反り高さとの比rを一定にした空気調和機用送風機羽根車を提供するものである。
【0012】
上記構成によって、セパレ−ト型空気調和機の室外機で定常運転されている時の斜流送風機羽根車に対する、流入空気の状態は定常状態で一定である。そこで、円弧翼の場合より反り高さが低いので、流入空気に対して反り線が円弧翼の場合より流線型の度合いが強まる。このことによって、羽根への抗力が低くなり、ファン効率が向上する。この効果が、羽根の半径方向に渡って成立する。
【0013】
【発明の実施の形態】
請求項1に記載の発明は、略円錐台状のハブに複数枚の羽根を設けてなる斜流送風機羽根車において、羽根の外周側弦長がハブ側弦長より長くて、前記円錐台の中心線上に頂点を持ち、これを起点とする円錐で、前記の羽根を切断して展開した円錐座標における前記羽根の断面形状において、反り線の最大反り高さを前記羽根断面に対応する円弧翼の最大反り高さより低くして、且つ、前記羽根の半径方向に渡って、最大反り高さと円弧翼の最大反り高さとの比rを一定にした空気調和機用送風機羽根車を提供するものである。なおここでいう前記羽根断面に対応する円弧翼とは、専門家にはよく知られているように、前記円錐座標における羽根断面において、前縁点と前縁における入口角と後縁における出口角とを与えて決定される単一円弧翼のことを意味する。
【0014】
そして、この構成によれば、セパレ−ト型空気調和機の室外機で定常運転されている時の斜流送風機羽根車に対する、流入空気の状態は定常状態で一定である。そこで、円弧翼の場合より反り高さが低いので、流入空気に対して反り線が円弧翼の場合より流線型の度合いが強まる。このことによって、羽根への抗力が低くなり、ファン効率(静圧効率)が向上する。この効果が、羽根の半径方向に渡って成立する。
【0015】
請求項2に記載の発明は、反り線の最大反り高さの位置が、すべての半径方向に渡って、円弧翼の場合より、すなわち弦長の中央点より前縁寄りに存在するように構成した空気調和機用送風機羽根車を提供するものである。そして、この構成により次の効果を奏する。一般に、羽根は前縁から最大反り高さ位置までで徐々に圧力が低下し、最大反り高さ位置を過ぎた部分から逆に圧力が上昇する。そこで、騒音よりファン効率(静圧効率)の観点から、羽根のどの半径方向によっても、この構成なので、羽根での昇圧部分の弦長と範囲を大きくとることができる。これにより、空気調和機用送風機羽根車の仕事としての回転数当たりのヘッドを大きくできるので、結果的にファン効率が向上することになる。
【0016】
請求項3に記載の発明は、斜流送風機羽根車の円錐台の中心線上に頂点を起点とする円錐で、この羽根を切断して展開した座標におけるこの羽根の断面形状において、反り線に厚翼の翼型を重畳して、その最大厚みtと弦長Cとの比t/Cが、5%から12%の範囲となるように前縁側が尖った翼型の羽根形状として、且つ、最大厚みをこの羽根の半径方向に渡って一定或いは、外周に向かうにしたがって厚みを減少させる構成にした空気調和機用送風機羽根車を提供するものである。そして、この構成によって、厚さが一定の薄翼に比較して、厚翼の翼型形状をした羽根により、流れの剥離が防止されて、低騒音効果を発揮する事ができて、ファン効率の向上と両立できることになる。さらに、翼型の最大厚みが半径方向に渡って一定か、もしくは、外周よりほど細くなるので、回転時の強度に対しても安全性が高い。
【0017】
【実施例】
以下に、本発明の一実施例の斜流送風機羽根車について、図面を参照して説明する。
【0018】
(実施例1)
本発明の第1の実施例を図1から図4を用いて説明する。
図1は空調用の斜流送風機羽根車の斜視図、図2は、同羽根車の平面図、図3は同羽根車の子午面、図4は同羽根車を図3のO−Aの円錐で切断して展開した円錐座標上の反り線の図である。
【0019】
図に示すように、略円錐台状のハブ3に複数枚の薄翼の羽根2を設けてなる斜流送風機羽根車1において、羽根2の外周側弦長がハブ側弦長より長くて、円錐台の中心線O−O上に頂点を持ち、これを起点とする円錐O−Aで、前記の羽根2を切断して展開した円錐座標7における羽根2の断面形状において、反り線6の最大反り高さhを円弧翼の場合の最大反り高さより低くして、且つ、前記羽根の半径方向に渡って、最大反り高さと円弧翼の最大反り高さとの比rを一定にしたものである。
【0020】
なお従来の円弧翼およびこの円弧翼の最大反り高さを確認のために図10を使用して次に定義する。一般に翼弦長Lが決まり、前縁における反り線の接線と前縁の回転軌跡線の接線との間に形成される入口角αと、後縁における反り線の接線と後縁の回転軌跡線の接線との間に形成される出口角βとが求まると、円弧翼は一義的に定義される。そして円弧翼の最大反り高さh1とは、翼弦長Lの50%位置における反り線の高さである。
【0021】
斜流送風機羽根車1のハブ3にモ−タシャフトを固定して、適切なケ−シングに納め、モ−タにより回転させることで送風作用を生じることは、勿論である。このとき、空気の殆どは、羽根2の前縁4より流入し、後縁5より流出して、空力仕事を行う。
【0022】
そして、上記構成によって、セパレ−ト型空気調和機の室外機で定常運転されている時の斜流送風機羽根車1に対する、流入空気の状態は定常状態で一定である。そこで、円弧翼の場合より反り高さが低いので、流入空気に対して反り線6が円弧翼の場合より流線型の度合いが強まる。このことによって、羽根への抗力が低くなり、ファン効率が向上する。この効果が、羽根の半径方向に渡って成立する。
【0023】
外径Φ415の薄翼の斜流送風機をセパレ−ト型空気調和機の室外機で、実験したところ、反り線が円弧翼の場合に比較して、r=最大反り高さ/円弧翼の最大反り高さ=0.6の反り線を用いた斜流送風機羽根車1は、効率比で6%優れ、同一風量当たりの回転数比は、約5%増加する。しかし、騒音は、0.4dB増加することが判明している。
【0024】
また、この構成と効果は空調用の軸流送風機においても成立する。
(実施例2)
本発明の第2の実施例を図5を用いて説明する。
【0025】
図5は、同羽根車を図2のO−Aの円錐で切断して展開した円錐座標上の反り線の図である。
図に示すように、斜流送風機羽根車1の円錐台の中心線上O−Oに頂点を起点とする円錐で、羽根2を切断して展開した円錐座標7における羽根2の断面形状において、反り線6の最大反り高さの位置Lが、すべての半径方向に渡って、円弧翼の場合より前縁寄りに存在するように構成した空気調和機用送風機羽根車を提供するものである。即ち、L/C<0.5である。ただし、Cは羽根の弦長である。
【0026】
そして、上記構成によって、次の効果を奏する。一般に、羽根2は前縁4から最大反り高さ位置までで徐々に圧力が低下し、最大反り高さ位置を過ぎた部分から逆に圧力が上昇する。そこで、騒音よりファン効率の観点から、羽根2のどの半径方向によっても、この構成なので、羽根での昇圧部分の弦長と範囲を大きくとることができる。これにより、空気調和機用送風機の斜流送風機羽根車1の仕事としての回転数当たりのヘッドを大きくできるので、結果的にファン効率が向上することになる。
【0027】
外径Φ415の薄翼の斜流送風機をセパレ−ト型空気調和機の室外機で、実験したところ、反り線が円弧翼の場合に比較して、L/C=0.3の反り線を用いた斜流送風機羽根車1は、効率比で3%優れ、同一風量当たりの回転数比は、約3%増加する。しかし、騒音は、0.4dB増加する事が、判明している。
【0028】
また、この構成と効果は空調用の軸流送風機においても成立する。
(実施例3)
本発明の第3の実施例を図6および7を用いて説明する。
【0029】
図6は、同羽根車を図3のO−Aの円錐で切断して展開した円錐座標上の反り線の図である。図7は、翼型の最大厚みtと弦長Cの比と、騒音低減効果を記した、外径Φ415の斜流送風機羽根車1をセパレ−ト型空気調和機の室外機で実験した時の、デ−タである。
【0030】
図に示すように、斜流送風機羽根車1の円錐台の中心線O−O上に頂点を起点とする円錐で、羽根2を切断して展開した座標7における羽根2の断面形状において、反り線6に厚翼の翼型8を重畳して、その最大厚みtと弦長Cとの比t/Cが、5%から12%の範囲となるように前縁4側が尖った翼型8の羽根形状として、且つ、最大厚みを羽根2の半径方向に渡って一定、或いは、外周に向かうにしたがって厚みを減少させる構成にした空気調和機用送風機の斜流送風機羽根車を提供するものである。
【0031】
そして、この構成によって、厚さが一定の薄翼に比較して、厚翼の翼型形状をした羽根により、流れの剥離が防止されて、低騒音効果を発揮する事ができて、ファン効率の向上と両立できることになる。図7より、t/Cが5%から低騒音効果を発揮し始め、約12%でその効果が飽和しているのが判る。
【0032】
さらに、翼型8の最大厚みtが半径方向に渡って一定か、もしくは、外周よりほど細くなるので、回転時の強度に対しても安全性が高い。
また、この構成と効果は空調用の軸流送風機においても成立する。
【0033】
【発明の効果】
上記実施例から明らかなように、請求項1に記載の発明は、略円錐台状のハブに複数枚の羽根を設けてなる斜流送風機羽根車において、羽根の外周側弦長がハブ側弦長より長くて、この円錐台の中心線上に頂点を持ち、これを起点とする円錐で、この羽根を切断して展開した円錐座標における前記羽根の断面形状において、反り線の最大反り高さを円弧翼の最大反り高さより低くして、且つ、この羽根の半径方向に渡って、最大反り高さと円弧翼の最大反り高さとの比rを一定にした空気調和機用送風機羽根車を提供するものである。そして、この構成によれば、セパレ−ト型空気調和機の室外機で定常運転されている時の斜流送風機羽根車に対する、流入空気の状態は定常状態で一定である。そこで、円弧翼より反り高さが低いので、流入空気に対して反り線が円弧翼より流線型の度合いが強まる。このことによって、羽根への抗力が低くなり、ファン効率が向上する。この効果が、羽根の半径方向に渡って成立する。

請求項2に記載の発明は、反り線の最大反り高さの位置が、すべての半径方向に渡って、円弧翼の場合より前縁寄りに存在するように構成した空気調和機用送風機羽根車を提供するものである。そして、この構成により次の効果を奏する。一般に、羽根は前縁から最大反り高さ位置までで徐々に圧力が低下し、最大反り高さ位置を過ぎた部分から逆に圧力が上昇する。そこで、騒音よりファン効率の観点から、羽根のどの半径方向によっても、この構成なので、羽根での昇圧部分の弦長と範囲を大きくとることができる。これにより、空気調和機用送風機羽根車の仕事としての回転数当たりのヘッドを大きくできるので、結果的にファン効率が向上することになる。
【0035】
請求項3に記載の発明は、斜流送風機羽根車の円錐台の中心線上に頂点を起点とする円錐で、この羽根を切断して展開した座標におけるこの羽根の断面形状において、反り線に厚翼の翼型を重畳して、その最大厚みtと弦長Cとの比t/Cが、5%から12%の範囲となるように前縁側が尖った翼型の羽根形状として、且つ、最大厚みをこの羽根の半径方向に渡って一定或いは、外周に向かうにしたがって厚みを減少させる構成にした空気調和機用送風機羽根車を提供するものである。そして、この構成によって、厚さが一定の薄翼に比較して、厚翼の翼型形状をした羽根により、流れの剥離が防止されて、低騒音効果を発揮する事ができて、ファン効率の向上と両立できることになる。さらに、翼型の最大厚みが半径方向に渡って一定か、もしくは、外周よりほど細くなるので、回転時の強度に対しても安全性が高い。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a blower impeller having a mixed flow blade used for a blower of an air conditioner, and more particularly to a cross-sectional shape of the blade of the impeller.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As described in Patent Literature 1, the conventional axial blower has a configuration as shown in FIGS. That is, the axial-flow fan impeller 10 is configured by radially providing a plurality of thick blade-shaped blades 11 on a cylindrical hub 12.
[0003]
The blade having the shape of a thick wing obtained by cutting the axial flow fan impeller 10 at the cylindrical coordinate B and developing it was shaped like the blade 13 in FIG. That is, the position of the maximum warp height of the warp line 14 is set at a position 40% to 50% of the chord length from the leading edge. Further, the warp line 14 is constituted by two quadratic curves. In addition, the maximum thickness of the airfoil is set at a position of 30% to 40% of the chord length from the leading edge.
[0004]
The axial blower 10 is housed in an appropriate casing and rotated to produce a blowing action.
Further, an impeller of a mixed flow blower is disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 2. Unlike the usual mixed flow impeller configuration, the maximum warpage height of the warpage line is closer to the trailing edge than the center of the leading and trailing edges to shift the separation point closer to the trailing edge. It was done.
[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the configuration of the conventional axial flow blower described above, only the position of the maximum warp height of the warp line 14 of the blade 11 and the position of the maximum thickness of the airfoil of the thick blade are defined. In this case, only the position of the maximum warp height is shifted using the warp line as an arc blade, and there is no description about the radial distribution of the blades. Further, it merely defines the maximum thickness position of the airfoil of the blade 13.
[0008]
In the first place, warpage is an important factor that determines the aerodynamic performance of a blower. Unless the distribution of blades in the radial direction is specified only by setting the position of the maximum warp height from 40% to 50% of the chord length from the leading edge, sufficient improvement in aerodynamic performance, that is, improvement in fan efficiency. Can not hope.
[0009]
The maximum thickness position of the airfoil of the blade 13 is a factor that affects the noise performance of the blower. The fact that this position is located at 30% to 40% of the chord length from the leading edge is also disclosed in the cascade data of NACA, and the effect on low noise is also thin. It is known from our experiments.
[0010]
Also in the configuration of the above-described conventional mixed flow blower, only the shape characteristics of the blade cross section from the leading edge to the trailing edge are disclosed, and the distribution of the blades in the radial direction is not described at all.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mixed flow blower impeller having a substantially frustoconical hub provided with a plurality of blades, wherein the outer chord length of the blades is longer than the hub chord length, and With a vertex on the center line of the platform, a cone starting from this, the maximum warp height of the warp line corresponds to the cross section of the blade in the cross-sectional shape of the blade in the cone coordinates obtained by cutting and expanding the blade. Provided is a blower impeller for an air conditioner in which the ratio r between the maximum warp height and the maximum warp height of the circular arc blade is kept constant over the radial direction of the blade and lower than the maximum warp height of the circular blade. Things.
[0012]
With the above configuration, the state of the inflowing air with respect to the mixed flow blower impeller when the outdoor unit of the separate type air conditioner is operating steadily is constant in a steady state. Therefore, since the warp height is lower than in the case of the arc-shaped blade, the degree of the warp line with respect to the inflow air becomes more streamlined than in the case of the arc-shaped blade. This reduces the drag on the blades and improves fan efficiency. This effect is achieved in the radial direction of the blade.
[0013]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The invention according to claim 1 is an oblique flow fan impeller in which a plurality of blades are provided on a substantially frustoconical hub, wherein the outer peripheral chord length of the vanes is longer than the hub chord length, and A circular arc blade having a vertex on a center line, and a cone starting from the same, and in a cross-sectional shape of the blade in a cone coordinate obtained by cutting and expanding the blade, a maximum warp height of a warp line corresponds to the cross section of the blade. The present invention provides a blower impeller for an air conditioner in which the ratio r between the maximum warp height and the maximum warp height of the arc blades is kept constant over the radial direction of the blade. is there. Note that, as is well known to experts, the arc-shaped wing corresponding to the blade cross-section here refers to the entrance angle at the leading edge point and the entrance angle at the leading edge and the exit angle at the rear edge in the blade cross-section in the conical coordinates. Means a single arc wing determined by
[0014]
According to this configuration, the state of the inflowing air with respect to the mixed flow blower impeller when the outdoor unit of the separate type air conditioner is operating steadily is constant in a steady state. Therefore, since the warp height is lower than in the case of the arc-shaped blade, the degree of the warp line with respect to the inflow air becomes more streamlined than in the case of the arc-shaped blade. This reduces the drag on the blades and improves the fan efficiency (static pressure efficiency). This effect is achieved in the radial direction of the blade.
[0015]
The invention according to claim 2 is configured such that the position of the maximum warp height of the warp line exists in all radial directions as compared with the case of the arcuate wing, that is, closer to the leading edge than the center point of the chord length. It is intended to provide a blower impeller for an air conditioner that has been made. The following effects are obtained by this configuration. In general, the pressure of the blade gradually decreases from the leading edge to the maximum warpage height position, and the pressure rises from the portion past the maximum warpage height position. Therefore, from the viewpoint of fan efficiency (static pressure efficiency) rather than noise, this configuration can be used in any radial direction of the blade, so that the chord length and range of the pressure-raising portion of the blade can be increased. As a result, the head per rotation speed as the work of the air conditioner impeller can be increased, and as a result, the fan efficiency is improved.
[0016]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a diagonal blower impeller having a cone whose apex is defined as a starting point on the center line of the truncated cone of the impeller. The airfoil shape of the wing is superimposed to form a wing shape of a wing shape having a sharp leading edge so that the ratio t / C of the maximum thickness t to the chord length C is in the range of 5% to 12%, and It is an object of the present invention to provide a blower impeller for an air conditioner in which the maximum thickness is constant in the radial direction of the blade or the thickness decreases toward the outer periphery. With this configuration, compared to thin blades having a constant thickness, the blades having the shape of a thick wing can prevent flow separation and exhibit a low noise effect. Can be improved. Further, since the maximum thickness of the airfoil is constant in the radial direction or becomes narrower than the outer circumference, the safety during rotation is high.
[0017]
【Example】
Hereinafter, a mixed flow blower impeller according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0018]

A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0019]
As shown in the drawing, in a mixed flow blower impeller 1 in which a plurality of thin blades 2 are provided on a substantially frustoconical hub 3, the outer-side chord length of the blades 2 is longer than the hub-side chord length, There is a vertex on the center line O 1 -O 2 of the truncated cone, and with the cone O 1 -A starting from the vertex, the cross section of the blade 2 at the cone coordinates 7 obtained by cutting and expanding the blade 2 is warped. The maximum warp height h of the line 6 is made lower than the maximum warp height in the case of the arc blade, and the ratio r between the maximum warp height and the maximum warp height of the arc blade is kept constant in the radial direction of the blade. It was done.

It should be noted that a conventional arc blade and a maximum warp height of the arc blade are defined below with reference to FIG. 10 for confirmation. In general, the chord length L is determined, the entrance angle α formed between the tangent of the warp line at the leading edge and the tangent of the rotational trajectory line at the leading edge, and the tangent of the warp line at the trailing edge and the rotational trajectory line at the trailing edge. The arc wing is uniquely defined when the exit angle β formed between the arc wing and the tangent is determined. The maximum warp height h1 of the arc blade is the height of the warp line at a position 50% of the chord length L.
[0021]
It is a matter of course that the motor shaft is fixed to the hub 3 of the mixed flow blower impeller 1 and housed in an appropriate casing, and is rotated by the motor to produce a blowing action. At this time, most of the air flows in from the leading edge 4 of the blade 2 and flows out from the trailing edge 5 to perform aerodynamic work.
[0022]
With the above configuration, the state of the inflow air with respect to the mixed flow blower impeller 1 during steady operation of the outdoor unit of the separate type air conditioner is constant in a steady state. Therefore, since the warp height is lower than in the case of the arc blade, the degree of the warp line 6 with respect to the inflow air is more streamlined than in the case of the arc blade. This reduces the drag on the blades and improves fan efficiency. This effect is achieved in the radial direction of the blade.
[0023]
An experiment was conducted with a thin blade mixed flow blower with an outer diameter of Φ415 using an outdoor unit of a separate type air conditioner. The mixed flow blower impeller 1 using the warp line having a warp height of 0.6 is superior in efficiency ratio by 6%, and the rotation speed ratio per the same air volume increases by about 5%. However, the noise has been found to increase by 0.4 dB.
[0024]
In addition, this configuration and effect can be realized in an axial blower for air conditioning.

That is, L / C <0.5. Here, C is the chord length of the blade.
[0026]
The following effects are obtained by the above configuration. Generally, the pressure of the blade 2 gradually decreases from the leading edge 4 to the position of the maximum warp height, and the pressure increases from the portion past the position of the maximum warp height. Therefore, from the viewpoint of fan efficiency rather than noise, this configuration can be used in any radial direction of the blade 2 so that the chord length and range of the boosted portion of the blade can be increased. Thereby, the head per rotation speed as the work of the mixed flow blower impeller 1 of the air conditioner blower can be increased, and as a result, the fan efficiency is improved.
[0027]
An experiment was conducted with a thin bladed mixed flow blower with an outer diameter of Φ415 using an outdoor unit of a separate type air conditioner. The mixed flow blower impeller 1 used is superior in efficiency ratio by 3%, and the rotation speed ratio per the same air volume increases by about 3%. However, noise has been found to increase by 0.4 dB.
[0028]
In addition, this configuration and effect can be realized in an axial blower for air conditioning.

A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0029]
FIG. 6 is a diagram of a warp line on a cone coordinate obtained by cutting the impeller with the cone of O 1 -A in FIG. 3 and developing it. FIG. 7 shows the ratio of the maximum thickness t to the chord length C of the airfoil and the noise reduction effect, when the mixed flow blower impeller 1 having an outer diameter of Φ415 was tested with an outdoor unit of a separate type air conditioner. Is the data.
[0030]
As shown in the figure, the cross section of the blade 2 at coordinates 7 is obtained by cutting and expanding the blade 2 with a cone starting from the vertex on the center line O 1 -O 2 of the truncated cone of the mixed flow blower impeller 1. The airfoil 8 having a thick wing is superimposed on the warp line 6, and the leading edge 4 side is pointed so that the ratio t / C of the maximum thickness t to the chord length C is in the range of 5% to 12%. An oblique flow impeller of an air conditioner blower having a blade shape of the mold 8 and having a configuration in which the maximum thickness is constant in the radial direction of the blade 2 or the thickness decreases toward the outer periphery. Things.
[0031]
With this configuration, compared to thin blades having a constant thickness, the blades having the shape of a thick wing can prevent flow separation and exhibit a low noise effect. Can be improved. From FIG. 7, it can be seen that the low noise effect starts to be exhibited when t / C is 5%, and that the effect is saturated at about 12%.
[0032]
Further, since the maximum thickness t of the airfoil 8 is constant in the radial direction or becomes narrower than the outer circumference, the safety during rotation is high.
In addition, this configuration and effect can be realized in an axial blower for air conditioning.

Things. According to this configuration, the state of the inflowing air with respect to the mixed flow blower impeller when the outdoor unit of the separate type air conditioner is operating steadily is constant in a steady state. Therefore, since the warp height is lower than that of the arc blade, the degree of the warp line with respect to the inflow air is more streamlined than that of the arc blade. This reduces the drag on the blades and improves fan efficiency. This effect is achieved in the radial direction of the blade.
