  However, with the structure of the conventional axial blower, it is not possible to further increase the air volume and reduce the generation of noise.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an axial blower capable of increasing the air volume and reducing noise generation.

  Still another object of the present invention is to provide a shaft capable of cooling the object to be cooled as a whole even when the distance between the object to be cooled and the discharge port of the axial flow fan becomes short. It is to provide a flow blower.

  An axial blower of the present invention includes a fan housing having a wind tunnel having a discharge port and a suction port, an impeller having a plurality of blades disposed inside the fan housing, and a rotating shaft to which the impeller is fixed. A rotor that rotates about the center, a stator provided corresponding to the rotor, a motor case to which the stator is fixed, and a plurality of stationary blades that connect the motor case and the fan housing are provided. The motor case has a bottom wall portion located on the side of the discharge port and a peripheral wall portion formed continuously with the bottom wall portion and extending toward the suction port side. The stator is fixed to the bottom wall portion. Further, the plurality of stationary blades are arranged at intervals in the rotation direction of the rotor and are located in the discharge port in the wind tunnel. The plurality of stationary blades are positioned between the outer end connected to the inner wall of the fan housing wind tunnel, the inner end connected to the peripheral wall of the motor case, and the outer end and the inner end. And a discharge port side end edge located on the discharge port side, and a suction port side end edge positioned between the outer end and the inner end and located on the suction port side. Further, the plurality of stationary blades are curved so as to be convex toward the rotation direction of the impeller. Also, among the plurality of stationary blades, all or most of the plurality of stationary blades are generally inclined so that the suction port side edge is located on the opposite side of the rotation direction from the discharge port side edge. Yes. When one stationary blade is not used as the lead wire storage means for supplying power to the motor, all of the plurality of stationary blades basically have the same structure. When a single stationary blade is used as a lead storage means for supplying electric power to a motor, a plurality of stationary blades (that is, most stationary blades) except for the one stationary blade are basically used. Will have the same structure.

  In the axial blower of the present invention, the inclination angle in the vicinity of the outer end of all or most of the plurality of stationary blades is larger than the inclination angle in the vicinity of the inner end, and further, from the vicinity of the outer end to the inner end. The inclination angle gradually changes toward the vicinity of the portion. Here, in the present specification, the inclination angle refers to a virtual plane along the discharge port, and an orthogonal virtual plane orthogonal to the virtual plane and orthogonal to the discharge side edge and the suction port side edge. And an imaginary straight line passing through a second intersection where the orthogonal imaginary plane intersects with the suction side edge.

  The flow velocity of the air flow discharged from the discharge port of the axial blower tends to be faster as it is closer to the fan housing (outward) and slower as it is closer to the motor case (inward). This trend does not change when a simple stationary blade is used. According to the present invention, by configuring all or most of the plurality of stationary blades as described above, the vicinity of the inner end portion of the stationary blade can be reduced with respect to the flow velocity of the airflow flowing near the outer end portion of the stationary blade. Increase the flow velocity of the flowing airflow. Then, the flow velocity of the airflow is gradually increased from the outer end side of the stationary blade toward the inner end side. As a result, the flow velocity of the air flow discharged from the discharge port can be averaged as much as possible, and as a result, the air volume can be increased and the amount of noise generated can be reduced. .

  In a small axial flow fan, the shape of the wind tunnel has a shape in which the cross-sectional shape in the direction in which the axis is perpendicular in the region from the region where the impeller exists to the discharge port becomes larger toward the discharge portion. In some cases, the angular range is preferably as follows. That is, it is preferable that the inclination angle in the vicinity of the outer end portion is an angle in the angle range of 50 ° to 60 °, and the inclination angle in the vicinity of the inner end portion is an angle in the angle range of 45 ° to 55 °. . It will be easily understood by those skilled in the art that this preferable angle range varies depending on the shape and number of moving blades, the shape and number of stationary blades, the shape of the inner wall of the wind tunnel, and the like.

  One stationary blade among the plurality of stationary blades may have a structure in which a plurality of lead wires for supplying electric power to the stator are housed inside. In this case, the other plurality of stationary blades become most of the plurality of stationary blades described above.

  Further, the outer surface of the bottom wall portion of the motor case may be located closer to the suction port side than the discharge port side edge of all or most of the plurality of stationary blades. When such a configuration is adopted, a part of the gas flowing along the stationary blade once enters the bottom surface side of the motor case and then is discharged from the discharge port. As a result, even when the distance between the object to be cooled and the discharge port of the axial flow fan is shortened, the axial flow fan is used for the portion of the object to be cooled located at the position facing the motor case of the axial flow fan. The discharged airflow can be applied, and the object to be cooled can be cooled as a whole.

  The outer surface of the bottom wall portion of the motor case is composed of a flat bottom surface and an outer peripheral surface portion continuous with the flat bottom surface. The flat bottom surface includes not only the case where the whole is flat, but also the case where the main part is flat. For example, a bearing that supports the rotating shaft may be arranged at the center. In this case, it is preferable that the outer peripheral surface portion has a shape that gradually curves from the bottom surface toward the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion. If it does in this way, the air current which flows into the motor case side along a stationary blade will flow smoothly on the bottom face of a motor case. As a result, the amount of gas flowing from the bottom surface portion of the motor case toward the discharge port can be increased.

  Further, all or most of the plurality of stationary blades are respectively provided with extensions extending on the bottom wall portion of the motor case, and a part of the gas flowing along the stationary blades is provided in the extensions on the bottom wall portion. It is preferable to provide a guide surface for guiding on the bottom side. When such a guide surface is provided, the gas can be actively guided onto the bottom wall portion along the guide surface.

  Preferably, the extension portion is further provided with an extension guide surface formed continuously with the guide surface and extending in the rotation direction. This extended guide surface exhibits a function of helping the airflow moved onto the bottom wall portion of the motor case to smoothly flow out from the outlet while rotating.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain an axial flow fan capable of increasing the air volume and reducing the amount of noise generated as compared with the prior art.

At the four corners, through holes through which the mounting screws pass are formed.

  The impeller 7 includes a cup-shaped rotating blade fixing member 6 in which seven rotating blades 5 are fixed to a peripheral wall portion. A cup-shaped member 12 is fixed inside the peripheral wall portion of the rotary blade fixing member 6, and a plurality of permanent magnets M constituting a part of the rotor of the motor 9 are fixed to the peripheral wall.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically showing cross-sectional shapes of the rotating blade 5 and the stationary blade 11C in order to explain the shape of the rotating blade 5 and the shapes of the stationary blades 11A to 11D. In FIG. 8, an arrow indicated by a solid line indicates the rotation direction of the rotary blade 5, and an arrow indicated by a broken line indicates the direction in which the airflow flows. The stationary blade 11C shown in FIG. 8 is an end view taken along line 8-8 in FIG. 2, but the cutting end view of the rotating blade 5 is the same as the cutting end view of the stationary blade 11C. It is a cut end view when cut. As shown in FIG. 8, the seven rotating blades 5 have a curved shape in which the recesses open toward the rotation direction of the impeller 7 [clockwise direction as viewed in FIG. 2: counterclockwise direction as viewed in FIG. 3]. Have. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the stationary blade 11 </ b> C has a curved shape in which a concave portion is opened in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the impeller 7 when viewed in a sectional view taken along line 8-8 in FIG. 2.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the five stationary blades 11 </ b> A to 11 </ b> E are arranged at intervals in the rotational direction of the impeller 7 (rotor) and are located in the outlet 16 of the wind tunnel 19. The four stationary blades 11A to 11D include an outer end portion 11a connected to the inner wall portion of the wind tunnel 19 of the fan housing 3, an inner end portion 11b connected to the peripheral wall portion 10B of the motor case 10, and an outer end portion. 11a is located between the inner end portion 11b and the discharge port 16 side, and is located between the outer end portion 11a and the inner end portion 11b and on the suction port 14 side. And a suction port side end edge portion 11d. In the present embodiment, one blade 11E has a groove portion 27 that houses therein a plurality of lead wires 25 that supply power to the excitation winding of the stator 9B. The groove portion 27 opens toward the discharge port 16. The discharge port side edge 11c of the single stationary blade 11E is constituted by two divided edges 11c1 and 11c2 located on both sides of the groove 27. The shape of the two split edges 11c1 and 11c2 in the vicinity of the inner edge 11b is inclined so that the flat bottom 10C of the bottom wall 10A of the motor case 10 and the two split edges 11c1 and 11c2 are flush with each other. is doing. If it does in this way, the insertion operation to the groove part 27 of the lead wire 25 will become easy.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 7, the outer surface [bottom surface 10C] of the bottom wall portion 10A of the motor case 10 is the discharge port side end of the four stationary blades 11A to 11D. It is located closer to the suction port 14 than the edge 11c. In other words, the discharge port side end edges 11c of the four stationary blades 11A to 11D are located closer to the discharge port 16 than the outer surface [bottom surface 10C] of the bottom wall portion 10A of the motor case 10. When such a configuration is adopted, a part of the gas flowing along the stationary blades 11A to E is placed on the bottom surface 10C of the motor case 10 as shown in FIG. After entering once, it is discharged from the discharge port 16. As a result, even when the distance between the object to be cooled and the discharge port of the axial flow fan 1 is shortened, the axial portion of the object to be cooled is positioned in the position facing the motor case 10 of the axial flow fan 1. The airflow discharged from the blower can be applied, and the object to be cooled can be cooled as a whole. In FIG. 9B, for reference, the discharge blade side edge 11c ′ of the stationary blades 11A ′ to 11D ′ and the bottom surface of the bottom wall portion 10A of the motor case 10 are flush with each other. The flow path of the airflow in the case where the discharge port side end edge 11c ′ and the bottom surface of the bottom wall portion 10A of the motor case 10 are at the same position is shown. A spatial region S shown in FIG. 9B is a region where no airflow flows.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 7, the four stationary blades 11 </ b> A to 11 </ b> D are integrally provided with an extension portion 11 e that extends on the bottom wall portion 10 </ b> A of the motor case 10. The extension portion 11e is provided with a guide surface 11f for guiding a part of the gas flowing along the stationary blades 11A to 11D to the bottom surface 10C side of the bottom wall portion 10A. The guide surface 11f extends from the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion 10B of the motor case 10 along the outer peripheral surface portion 10D that curves toward the bottom surface 10C of the bottom wall portion 10A. If such a guide surface 11f is provided, gas can be actively guided onto the bottom wall portion 10C along the guide surface 11f. Further, the extension portion 10e is further provided with an extension guide surface 11g formed continuously with the guide surface 10f and extending in the rotation direction of the impeller 7. The extended guide surface 11g exhibits a function of helping the airflow moved onto the bottom wall portion 10C of the motor case 10 to smoothly flow out from the discharge port 16 while rotating. If the guide surface 11f and the extended guide surface 11g are provided, more airflow will flow through the bottom surface 10C of the motor case 10. However, even if the guide surface 11f and the extended guide surface 11g are not provided, the bottom surface The airflow is directed toward the central region of the motor case 10 by 10C being lowered to the suction port side from the discharge port side edge of the stationary blades 11A to 11D. Therefore, compared with the conventional structure shown in FIG. 9B, the amount of airflow discharged from the central region of the motor case 10 increases.

  The height dimension between the bottom surface 10C of the bottom wall portion 10A of the motor case 10 and the discharge port side end edge 11c of the stationary blades 11A to 11E is preferably 3 mm or more.

  With reference to FIG. 2, how to determine the shapes of the stationary blades 11 </ b> A to 11 </ b> D will be described using the stationary blade 11 </ b> A as an example. First, a first virtual plane PS1 extending in the radial direction through the inner end of the discharge-side edge 11c of the stationary blade 11A and the center line CL passing through the center of the rotating shaft 8 is assumed. Next, a second virtual plane PS2 extending in the radial direction through the outer end portion of the discharge side edge 11c of the stationary blade 11A and the center line CL is assumed. Further, a third virtual plane PS3 extending in the radial direction through the outer end of the suction opening side edge 11d of the stationary blade 11A and the center line CL is assumed. The direction from the first virtual plane PS1 to the second virtual plane PS2 and the direction from the second virtual plane PS2 to the third virtual plane PS3 are opposite to the rotation direction of the impeller 7, respectively. The shape of each stationary blade 11 is determined.

  In the present embodiment, the inclination angle θ4 in the vicinity of the outer end portion 11a of the four stationary blades 11A to 11D is larger than the inclination angle θ3 in the vicinity of the inner end portion 11b, and from the vicinity of the outer end portion 11a to the inner side. The inclination angle gradually changes toward the vicinity of the end 11b. That is, the stationary blades 11A to 11D have a structure in which the inner end portion 11b is twisted in the clockwise direction while the outer end portion 11a is fixed and the inner end portion 11b is viewed from the inner end portion 11b. is doing. In other words, the stationary blades 11A to 11D have a structure in which the outer end 11a is twisted in the clockwise direction while the inner end 11b is fixed and the inner end 11b is viewed from the outer end 11a. Have.

  Here, the inclination angle will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10A is a cutaway view used to explain this inclination angle, and FIGS. 10B and 10C are a sectional view and an outer end of the stationary blade 11D cut in the vicinity of the inner end portion 11b, respectively. It is sectional drawing cut | disconnected by the part 11a vicinity. First, a virtual plane PS4 along the discharge port 16 is assumed. Next, an orthogonal virtual plane (PS5, PS6) orthogonal to the virtual plane PS4 and orthogonal to the discharge-side edge 11c and the suction port-side edge 11d is assumed. The orthogonal virtual plane (PS5, PS6) intersects the first intersection CP1 where the discharge port side edge 11c intersects and the second intersection CP2 where the orthogonal virtual plane (PS5, PS6) intersects the suction port side edge 11d. The angle between the imaginary straight line (PL1, PL2) and the imaginary plane PS4 is defined as an inclination angle.

  FIG. 10B shows the inclination angle θ3 measured when the stationary blade 11D is cut along the orthogonal virtual plane PS5 in the vicinity of the inner end portion 11b. FIG. 10C shows the stationary blade 11D. In the vicinity of the inner end portion 11a, the inclination angle θ4 measured when cutting along the orthogonal virtual plane PS6 is shown. As described above, in the present embodiment, the inclination angle θ4 in the vicinity of the outer end portion 11a of the four stationary blades 11A to 11D is larger than the inclination angle θ3 in the vicinity of the inner end portion 11b, and the outer end portion. The inclination angle gradually changes from the vicinity of 11a toward the vicinity of the inner end 11b. Incidentally, the preferable angle of the inclination angle θ3 in the present embodiment is an angle in the range of 45 ° to 55 °, and the preferable angle of the inclination angle θ4 is an angle in the range of 50 ° to 60 °.

  The shapes of the stationary blades 11A to 11D are determined in this manner because the flow velocity of the air flow discharged from the discharge port 16 of the axial blower 1 is faster as it is closer to the fan housing 3 (outward) and closer to the motor case 10. This is because it tends to be slower (inward). This tendency does not change even when a static blade having a simple shape is used. Therefore, when the stationary blades 11A to 11D are configured as described above, the airflow flowing near the inner end portion 11b of the stationary blades 11A to 11D with respect to the flow velocity of the airflow flowing near the outer end portion 11a of the stationary blades 11A to 11D. The flow rate increases. Then, the flow velocity of the airflow increases gradually from the outer end 11a side to the inner end 11b side of the stationary blade. As a result, it is possible to average the flow velocity of the air flow discharged from the discharge port 16 as much as possible, and as a result, the air volume can be increased and the amount of noise generated can be reduced. It is thought that it became possible to do. In the present embodiment, the blade 5 also has an inner inclination angle larger than the outer side. The difference in the inclination angle is appropriately determined according to the flow velocity to be obtained.

  11A to 11C, the inclination angle θ4 in the vicinity of the outer end portion 11a of the plurality of stationary blades 11 is made larger than the inclination angle θ3 in the vicinity of the inner end portion 11b, and the outer end portion 11a. The configuration and the inclination angle of the test axial flow fan prepared for confirming the effect obtained by gradually changing the inclination angle from the vicinity of the inner end portion 11b to the vicinity of the inner end portion 11b are shown. In these blowers, unlike the blowers of the above-described embodiments, all the stationary blades have the same shape without using the shape for using the stationary blade 11 as the lead wire support means. Further, in order to confirm the effect of twisting or twisting of the stationary blade, unlike the above embodiment, the discharge port side edge portion 11c of the stationary blade 11 and the bottom wall portion 10C of the motor case 10 are flush with each other. . Further, the stationary blade 11 is not provided with an extension. In the blower of FIG. 11A, the inclination angle of the stationary blade is constant (57 °) from the inner end to the outer end. The blower of FIG. 11 (B) has a small inclination angle (47 °) on the inner edge side of the stationary blade and a larger inclination angle (57 °) on the outer edge side, from the inner edge to the outer edge. The inclination angle gradually increases toward the part. FIG. 11C shows that the inclination angle (57 °) is increased on the inner end side of the stationary blade and the inclination angle (47 °) is decreased on the outer end side, similarly to the blower of the above embodiment. The inclination angle gradually decreases from the inner end toward the outer end.

  FIG. 12 shows the results of measuring the static pressure-air volume characteristics of the three fans shown in FIGS. 11A to 11C (the same except for the shape of the stationary blade and the rotation speed being constant). As can be seen from FIG. 12, in the characteristic B obtained from the blower [blower of FIG. 11B] in which the inclination angle on the outer end side is larger than the inclination angle on the inner end side, as in the above embodiment. The air volume at the same static pressure is larger than the characteristics A and C obtained from the other two blowers [blowers of FIGS. 11A and 11C].

  Further, when the measurement of FIG. 12 was performed, noise was measured simultaneously under the same conditions. The results are as shown in Table 1 below. In Table 1 below, the difference in sound pressure is displayed with Na as the sound pressure of noise generated when the blower of FIG. 11A (the inclination angle of the stationary blade is constant) is rotated at a constant speed. . As in the above embodiment, in the fan [blower of FIG. 11B] in which the inclination angle on the outer end side is larger than the inclination angle on the inner end side, the sound pressure level of noise is reduced by 1 dB (A). However, the sound pressure level is increased by 0.5 dB (A) in the blower [blower of FIG. 11A] in which the inclination angle on the outer end side is smaller than the inclination angle on the inner end side. . From this result, it can be seen that when the inclination angle on the outer end side is made larger than the inclination angle on the inner end side as in the present embodiment, the air volume can be increased and noise can be reduced.

  Even if the stationary blade having the shape shown in FIG. 11B is used as the stationary blade of the counter-rotating axial fan shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-278370 which is the prior application of the applicant, the air volume is increased. It was confirmed that there was a noise reduction effect. Incidentally, FIG. 13 shows the static pressure-air flow characteristics of the aforementioned counter-rotating axial flow fan using the stationary blades having the composition shown in FIGS. 11 (A) to 11 (C). Table 2 below shows the noise change state of the counter-rotating axial flow fan measured in the same manner as in Table 1.

  In the above-described embodiment, the single stationary blade 11E is configured to house the lead wire 25. However, when the structure in which the lead wire is simply pulled out as it is is employed, the stationary blade 11E is moved to another stationary blade 11E. As the same structure as the blades 11A to 11D, all the stationary blades 11A to 11E may be provided with the aforementioned twist or twist relationship.

It is a front view of the axial-flow fan of embodiment of FIG. It is a rear view of the axial-flow fan of embodiment of FIG. It is a right view of the axial-flow fan 1 shown in FIG.
