  A conventional blower is fixed to a ceiling or the like and is rotatably supported by one rotating shaft, and can change the blowing direction of the airflow. For example, another rotating shaft other than the rotating direction of one rotating shaft can be used. When blowing in a plurality of directions so as to generate airflow also in the rotation direction, there is a problem that the number of fans must be increased by installing another blower according to the blowing direction.

In addition, after the blower is installed, changing the blowing direction and adjusting the angle can be changed only in the rotation direction of one rotating shaft, so when blowing in multiple directions at the same time, or changing the blowing direction of the air flow in multiple different directions, When adjusting the angle, there is a problem that it is not easy to change the blowing direction or adjust the angle, for example, a construction for changing the mounting direction is required.
Moreover, in the conventional air blower, the length of the air blower was matched with the installation location. For this reason, there are problems such as an increase in types of products, difficulty in improving productivity, an increase in labor for transportation and handling, and an increase in product cost.

  The blower according to the present invention comprises a plurality of blowers, a support member that supports the blower, and a connecting member that attaches the support member and fixes the blower to a ceiling or the like, and the support member indicates the blowing direction of the blower to the connecting member. The support member is provided with a rotating portion that supports the blower, and the blower is attached so that the blowing direction can be changed around the rotating portion.

In the present invention, a plurality of blowers are connected by a connecting device so that the direction of air flow can be changed. Therefore, the direction of air flow of each blower can be easily changed and adjusted, which facilitates installation work during installation. There is an effect that can be made.
Further, by changing the connection state of the individual blowers, the blowing direction can be easily changed, and there is an effect that an airflow according to the application can be obtained.

Also, by using an axial blower, it is possible to blow out a belt-like airflow with low noise and a long reach distance, which is suitable for an air curtain, etc. By arbitrarily setting the angles of the devices 12a and 12b, an air curtain having an arbitrary shape such as a curved curtain flow can be easily made.
Also, by changing the number of fans connected, the overall length of the blower can be changed according to the width of the installation location, so there is no need to make a blower with a dedicated length for each installation location. Productivity can be increased by reducing the number of types and standardizing.

In addition, the blower may be used in a straight state as shown in FIG. 10, but during transportation, by folding the left and right blowers as shown in FIG. 11, the product length can be shortened and the packing is made compact. It is easy to handle and transport.
In this embodiment, the axial flow fans are arranged in a row and explained using a blower that blows a strip-shaped air flow. However, the type of blower to be used is not limited to this, and a cross-flow blower or a multi-blade blower is used. Thus, a blower according to the application can be configured. For example, in the case of a once-through type blower, the cross-sectional area of the blower can be reduced, and a long and narrow blower can be formed and installed in a small space. In addition, in the case of a multi-blade type blower, a high static pressure blow-out flow can be generated, and a high-speed air flow can be obtained.
