In the centrifugal fan 1, when the impeller portion 2 rotates together with the cup portion 321, air is taken in from the intake port 12 facing the upper side of the impeller portion 2 (that is, the bottom side of the cup portion 321) and leaves the central axis J <b> 1. The air is discharged in the direction, and the air is guided to the exhaust port 13 along the side wall portion 113 as described above.

翼集合体22は、カップ部321(の外側カップ部3213)の外側面321bと間隔を開けつつインペラ部2の外周に沿って配列された複数の主翼221、および、カップ部321の外側面321bに沿ってカップ部321と複数の主翼221との間に配列された複数の補助翼222を備える。図2では主翼221の先端が一部を除いて隠れているが、複数の主翼221のそれぞれは、外側へと向かいつつインペラ部2の回転方向51へと傾く前進翼となっている。複数の主翼221は、ベース部112側の下端部が中心軸J1に垂直であって中心軸J1を中心とする環状板23により連結されるとともに上端部が環状の連結部24により連結され、一体的に成形されている。なお、図2では主翼221の形状を示すために連結部24の一部を削除している(図4〜図7においても同様)。   The wing assembly 22 includes a plurality of main wings 221 arranged along the outer periphery of the impeller portion 2 while being spaced from the outer surface 321b of the cup portion 321 (the outer cup portion 3213), and the outer surface 321b of the cup portion 321. And a plurality of auxiliary wings 222 arranged between the cup portion 321 and the plurality of main wings 221. In FIG. 2, the tip of the main wing 221 is hidden except for a part, but each of the plurality of main wings 221 is a forward wing inclined toward the rotation direction 51 of the impeller 2 while moving outward. The plurality of main wings 221 are connected by an annular plate 23 having a lower end on the base portion 112 side perpendicular to the central axis J1 and centering on the central axis J1, and an upper end connected by an annular connecting portion 24. Molded. In FIG. 2, a part of the connecting portion 24 is deleted to show the shape of the main wing 221 (the same applies to FIGS. 4 to 7).

複数の補助翼222のそれぞれは、図2に示すように外側へと向かいつつインペラ部2の回転方向51とは反対側に傾く後進翼となっており、カップ部321の外側カップ部3213の外側面321bに接続されるとともに、補助翼222の最も外側の部位は環状板23の内側の部位と接続される。また、補助翼222は、図1および図2に示すように、ベース部112側にて2枚の主翼221毎に1枚の主翼221と直接接続され、複数の補助翼222のそれぞれが複数の主翼221のいずれかと連続している。これにより、主翼221と補助翼222との間の部位がリブとして機能し、さらに補助翼222自体もリブとして機能し、インペラ部2の剛性が向上される。   As shown in FIG. 2, each of the plurality of auxiliary wings 222 is a reverse wing that faces outward and is inclined to the opposite side to the rotation direction 51 of the impeller portion 2, and is outside the outer cup portion 3213 of the cup portion 321. While being connected to the side surface 321 b, the outermost part of the auxiliary wing 222 is connected to the inner part of the annular plate 23. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the auxiliary wings 222 are directly connected to one main wing 221 every two main wings 221 on the base portion 112 side, and each of the plurality of auxiliary wings 222 includes a plurality of auxiliary wings 222. It is continuous with one of the main wings 221. Thereby, the site | part between the main wing | blade 221 and the auxiliary wings 222 functions as a rib, and also the auxiliary wings 222 themselves function as a rib, and the rigidity of the impeller part 2 is improved.

特に、インペラ部2が樹脂により成形される場合には、ベース部112側にて環状板23を用いつつ主翼221と補助翼222とを接続することにより、インペラ部2の成形(樹脂注入や金型からの取り出し等)を容易とすることができる。もちろん、インペラ部2の剛性や成形に問題が生じないのであれば、主翼221と補助翼222とを分離して環状板23を介して複数の補助翼222が複数の主翼221と間接的に接続されてもよい。また、補助翼222は、インサート成形等によりヨーク部材3212(図1参照)の外側面に接続されてもよい。   In particular, when the impeller portion 2 is molded from resin, the main wing 221 and the auxiliary wing 222 are connected to each other while using the annular plate 23 on the base portion 112 side to form the impeller portion 2 (resin injection or gold And the like can be easily removed from the mold. Of course, if there is no problem in the rigidity and molding of the impeller portion 2, the main wing 221 and the auxiliary wing 222 are separated and the plurality of auxiliary wings 222 are indirectly connected to the plurality of main wings 221 via the annular plate 23. May be. The auxiliary blade 222 may be connected to the outer surface of the yoke member 3212 (see FIG. 1) by insert molding or the like.

ところで、翼集合体22では、補助翼222から主翼221へエアを円滑に流れ込ませるという観点からは、主翼221と補助翼222とが連続していることが好ましい。その一方で、カップ部321と主翼221との間には障害物が存在しない方が主翼221へのエアの流入効率を向上することができる。そこで、遠心ファン1では主翼221と補助翼222とを連続させるとともに主翼221と補助翼222との間(すなわち、境界)におけるインペラ部2の中心軸J1方向の幅が小さくなるように設計されており、これにより、補助翼222による乱流抑制効果を得つつ主翼221にて発生する気流による遠心ファン1の特性(例えば、静圧−風量特性)に補助翼222が与える影響を低減することができる。具体的な好ましい設計条件としては、複数の主翼221と複数の補助翼222との間におけるインペラ部2の中心軸J1方向の幅(図1中に符号Wを付す。)は、複数の主翼221の中心軸J1方向の長さ(符号Lを付す。)の1/3以下とされる。また、カップ部321の外側面を流れるエアにより外側面の下部近傍にて乱流域が広くなることから、遠心ファン1では図1に示すように、補助翼222のベース部112とは反対側のエッジ2222は、カップ部321の外側面321bから外側へと伸びつつベース部112に向かって傾斜しており、中心軸J1方向に関する補助翼222の幅が、インペラ部2の外周側からカップ部321に向かって漸次大きくされる。その結果、ファン特性を低下させることなく効率よく乱流の発生が抑制される。   By the way, in the blade assembly 22, it is preferable that the main wing 221 and the auxiliary wing 222 are continuous from the viewpoint of smoothly flowing air from the auxiliary wing 222 to the main wing 221. On the other hand, the air inflow efficiency into the main wing 221 can be improved when there is no obstacle between the cup portion 321 and the main wing 221. Therefore, the centrifugal fan 1 is designed such that the main wing 221 and the auxiliary wing 222 are made continuous and the width of the impeller portion 2 in the direction of the central axis J1 between the main wing 221 and the auxiliary wing 222 is small. Thus, it is possible to reduce the influence of the auxiliary blades 222 on the characteristics (for example, static pressure-air volume characteristics) of the centrifugal fan 1 due to the airflow generated in the main blades 221 while obtaining the turbulent flow suppressing effect of the auxiliary blades 222. it can. As a specific preferable design condition, the width in the direction of the central axis J1 of the impeller portion 2 between the plurality of main wings 221 and the plurality of auxiliary wings 222 (indicated by a symbol W in FIG. 1) is the plurality of main wings 221. 1/3 or less of the length in the direction of the central axis J1 (labeled L). Further, since the turbulent flow area is widened near the lower portion of the outer surface by the air flowing on the outer surface of the cup portion 321, in the centrifugal fan 1, as shown in FIG. The edge 2222 is inclined toward the base portion 112 while extending outward from the outer surface 321b of the cup portion 321, and the width of the auxiliary wing 222 in the direction of the central axis J1 is such that the cup portion 321 extends from the outer peripheral side of the impeller portion 2. It is gradually increased toward. As a result, generation of turbulent flow is efficiently suppressed without deteriorating fan characteristics.

なお、主翼221と補助翼222との間におけるインペラ部2の中心軸J1方向の幅とは、主翼221と補助翼222とが直接接続される場合は、1つの主翼221と1つの補助翼222との間の上下方向の最小幅であり(すなわち、複数の主翼221と複数の補助翼222との間の中心軸J1を中心とする環状の略凹状の領域に限定して注目した場合は、この環状領域におけるリブ状の部位の上下方向の幅となる。)、主翼221と補助翼222とが環状板23を介して間接的に接続される場合は、環状板23の厚さとなる。   The width of the impeller portion 2 between the main wing 221 and the auxiliary wing 222 in the direction of the central axis J1 is one main wing 221 and one auxiliary wing 222 when the main wing 221 and the auxiliary wing 222 are directly connected. (That is, when attention is limited to an annular substantially concave region centered on the central axis J1 between the plurality of main wings 221 and the plurality of auxiliary wings 222, This is the vertical width of the rib-like portion in the annular region.) When the main wing 221 and the auxiliary wing 222 are indirectly connected via the annular plate 23, the thickness of the annular plate 23 is obtained.

インペラ部2ではさらに、図1ないし図3に示すように、複数の補助翼222の間において中心軸J1方向に関して貫通する複数の開口25が設けられる。図1に示すように、複数の開口25のベース部112側の開口端は複数の補助翼222のベース部112側のエッジ2221を含み、開口端の複数の主翼221側の部位251(すなわち、環状板23の内側の部位)が中心軸J1側の部位252(すなわち、カップ部321の開口部3211側の部位)よりもベース部112に近くされる。これにより、開口端が電機子315と回路基板316との間の隙間に向かって傾斜する。なお、開口端を傾斜させるために、補助翼222のベース部112側のエッジ2221は、カップ部321の開口部3211から外側へと伸びつつベース部112に向かって傾斜している。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the impeller portion 2 is provided with a plurality of openings 25 penetrating in the direction of the central axis J <b> 1 between the plurality of auxiliary blades 222. As shown in FIG. 1, the opening ends on the base portion 112 side of the plurality of openings 25 include the edges 2221 on the base portion 112 side of the plurality of auxiliary wings 222, and the portions 251 on the plurality of main wings 221 side of the opening ends (that is, A portion on the inner side of the annular plate 23) is closer to the base portion 112 than a portion 252 on the central axis J1 side (that is, a portion on the opening 3211 side of the cup portion 321). As a result, the open end is inclined toward the gap between the armature 315 and the circuit board 316. In order to incline the opening end, the edge 2221 of the auxiliary wing 222 on the base portion 112 side is inclined toward the base portion 112 while extending outward from the opening portion 3211 of the cup portion 321.

以上、遠心ファン1の構造について説明したが、遠心ファン1では、カップ部321の外側面321bと主翼221との間において、外側面321bに接続されるとともにベース部112側にて主翼221と直接接続される複数の補助翼が設けられるため(環状板23を介して間接的に接続されてもよい。)、カップ部321の外側面321bの近くを流れるエアは補助翼222によって掻き込まれるため、エアが淀まず滑らかに主翼221へと導くことができる。その結果、カップ部321の外側面321b近傍での乱流の発生を抑制でき、主翼221へ円滑にエアが流れ、遠心ファン1の低騒音化を図ることができる。   While the structure of the centrifugal fan 1 has been described above, the centrifugal fan 1 is connected to the outer surface 321b between the outer surface 321b of the cup portion 321 and the main wing 221 and directly connected to the main wing 221 on the base portion 112 side. Since a plurality of auxiliary wings to be connected are provided (may be indirectly connected via the annular plate 23), the air flowing near the outer surface 321b of the cup portion 321 is swept by the auxiliary wings 222. The air can be smoothly and smoothly guided to the main wing 221. As a result, the occurrence of turbulent flow in the vicinity of the outer surface 321b of the cup portion 321 can be suppressed, air can smoothly flow to the main wing 221 and the noise of the centrifugal fan 1 can be reduced.

また、遠心ファン1では、電機子315の少なくとも一部がカップ部321内に位置するためモータ3が回転するときに電機子315で発生する熱がこもり易くなるが、隣接する2つの補助翼222の間に中心軸J1方向に関して貫通する開口25が設けられるため、カップ部321の外側面321bに沿って流れるエアの一部がカップ部321の内部にも流れ込み(カップ部321からエアが流れ出す領域もおよそ排気口13側に生じる。)、加えて、補助翼222により開口25近傍にて気流が発生することにより、効率よくエアをカップ部321内に送ることができ、これにより、電機子315にエアを供給して電機子315の温度上昇を抑えることができる。設計条件にもよるが、開口25を設けないインペラ部では電機子315の温度が約115℃となる場合に、開口25を設けることにより、約47℃まで低下することが確認されている。   Further, in the centrifugal fan 1, since at least a part of the armature 315 is located in the cup portion 321, heat generated in the armature 315 is easily trapped when the motor 3 rotates. Since an opening 25 penetrating in the direction of the central axis J1 is provided between the two, a part of the air flowing along the outer side surface 321b of the cup part 321 also flows into the cup part 321 (a region where air flows out from the cup part 321) In addition, the air flow is generated in the vicinity of the opening 25 by the auxiliary blade 222, so that the air can be efficiently sent into the cup portion 321. Air can be supplied to the armature 315 to suppress the temperature rise. Although depending on the design conditions, it has been confirmed that in the impeller portion where the opening 25 is not provided, when the temperature of the armature 315 is about 115 ° C., the opening 25 is reduced to about 47 ° C.

さらに、複数の開口25のベース部112側の開口端が電機子315や回路基板316に向かって(特に、電機子315と回路基板316との間の隙間に向かって)傾斜することにより、電機子315に向かって流れるエアの供給効率を向上することができ、かつ、回路基板316の冷却も行うことができる。   Further, the opening ends on the base portion 112 side of the plurality of openings 25 are inclined toward the armature 315 and the circuit board 316 (particularly, toward the gap between the armature 315 and the circuit board 316), so that the electric machine The supply efficiency of the air flowing toward the child 315 can be improved, and the circuit board 316 can be cooled.

次に、インペラ部2の主翼221および補助翼222の他の様々な形状について説明する。図4ないし図9は、インペラ部の他の例を示す図である。図2に示すインペラ部2では、各補助翼222が後進翼とされるが、補助翼の形状は後進翼に限定されるものではなく、例えば、図4に示すインペラ部2aでは、各補助翼222aが前進翼とされ、図5に示すインペラ部2bの各補助翼222bはカップ部321から径方向へと直線状に伸びる径方向翼とされる。インペラ部2aおよびインペラ部2bの主翼221は、インペラ部2と同様に前進翼とされる。   Next, various other shapes of the main wing 221 and the auxiliary wing 222 of the impeller portion 2 will be described. 4 to 9 are diagrams showing other examples of the impeller portion. In the impeller portion 2 shown in FIG. 2, each auxiliary wing 222 is a reverse wing, but the shape of the auxiliary wing is not limited to the reverse wing. For example, in the impeller portion 2a shown in FIG. 222a is a forward wing, and each auxiliary wing 222b of the impeller portion 2b shown in FIG. 5 is a radial wing extending linearly from the cup portion 321 in the radial direction. The main wings 221 of the impeller portion 2a and the impeller portion 2b are forward wings, similar to the impeller portion 2.

インペラ部2,2a,2b、および、主翼221のみのインペラ部(図示省略)の騒音値の比較実験を行ったところ、それぞれ54.1dB(A)、55.2dB(A)、54.8dB(A)、および、55.8dB(A)となった。このことから、ファンの静圧を高めるために主翼221を前進翼とする場合は、補助翼222を後進翼とすることにより騒音値を最も低減することができることが分かる。なお、補助翼が後進翼でない場合であっても補助翼を設けることにより騒音が低減されるといえる。   When a comparative experiment of the noise values of the impeller portions 2, 2a, 2b and the impeller portion (not shown) of only the main wing 221 was performed, 54.1 dB (A), 55.2 dB (A), 54.8 dB ( A) and 55.8 dB (A). From this, it can be seen that when the main wing 221 is a forward blade in order to increase the static pressure of the fan, the noise value can be most reduced by using the auxiliary wing 222 as a backward blade. Even if the auxiliary wing is not a reverse wing, it can be said that noise is reduced by providing the auxiliary wing.

一方、主翼についても、図2のインペラ部2のように前進翼に限定されるものではなく、例えば、図6に示すインペラ部2cのように径方向翼である主翼221aとされてもよく、図7に示すインペラ部2dのように後進翼である主翼221bとされてもよい。   On the other hand, the main wing is not limited to the forward wing as in the impeller portion 2 of FIG. 2, and may be, for example, a main wing 221a that is a radial wing like the impeller portion 2c shown in FIG. A main wing 221b that is a reverse wing may be used as in the impeller portion 2d shown in FIG.

また、インペラ部2の翼集合体22では、3枚以上の主翼221毎に1つの主翼221と1つの補助翼222とが接続されてもよく、図8に示すインペラ部2eのように、全ての主翼221に補助翼222が連続して形成されてもよい。また、補助翼の形状は平板状には限定されず、図9に示すように、インペラ部2fを上側から見たときに、各補助翼222cがカップ部321からインペラ部2fの外周側へと伸びつつ湾曲してもよい。   Further, in the blade assembly 22 of the impeller portion 2, one main wing 221 and one auxiliary wing 222 may be connected for every three or more main wings 221, and as in the impeller portion 2e shown in FIG. The auxiliary wings 222 may be continuously formed on the main wings 221. Further, the shape of the auxiliary wings is not limited to a flat plate shape, and as shown in FIG. 9, when the impeller portion 2 f is viewed from the upper side, each auxiliary wing 222 c moves from the cup portion 321 to the outer peripheral side of the impeller portion 2 f. It may be curved while stretched.

さらに、補助翼222とカップ部321との接続範囲は、図1に示すように、中心軸J1方向に関してカップ部321の外側面321bの途中から下端までの範囲だけでなく、図10に示すようにカップ部321の上端から下端までの範囲、図11に示すように中心軸J1方向に関して外側面321bの途中から途中までの範囲、図12に示すようにカップ部321の上端から下端より下までの範囲とされてもよい。また、補助翼222の下側および上側のエッジ2221,2222についても図13に示すように湾曲してもよく、図14および図15に示すように上側のエッジ2222と中心軸J1に平行なエッジ2223とが連続していてもよい。   Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the connection range between the auxiliary wing 222 and the cup portion 321 is not only the range from the middle to the lower end of the outer surface 321b of the cup portion 321 in the direction of the central axis J1, but also as shown in FIG. The range from the upper end to the lower end of the cup portion 321, as shown in FIG. 11, the range from the middle to the middle of the outer surface 321 b in the direction of the central axis J <b> 1, from the upper end to the lower end of the cup portion 321 as shown in FIG. 12. It may be made the range. Further, the lower and upper edges 2221, 2222 of the auxiliary wing 222 may be curved as shown in FIG. 13, and the edges parallel to the upper edge 2222 and the central axis J1 as shown in FIGS. 2223 may be continuous.

以上のように、翼の形状、数、および、大きさは様々に変更されてよく、遠心ファン1が搭載される機器や、必要とされる風量特性等に基づいて主翼221および補助翼222の形状等が決定される。いずれの主翼221および補助翼222の場合においてもカップ部321の外側面321b付近の乱流の発生を抑制して騒音を低減することができる。   As described above, the shape, number, and size of the blades may be variously changed, and the main wing 221 and the auxiliary wing 222 may be changed based on the equipment on which the centrifugal fan 1 is mounted, the required airflow characteristics, and the like. The shape and the like are determined. In any of the main wings 221 and the auxiliary wings 222, generation of turbulent flow in the vicinity of the outer surface 321b of the cup portion 321 can be suppressed to reduce noise.

以上、本発明の実施の形態について説明してきたが、本発明は上記実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、様々な変更が可能である。   As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention has been described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible.

例えば、補助翼222の上側のエッジ2222の形状は、図16に示すように途中に段差が設けられる形状であってもよい。また、図17に示すように、複数の補助翼222dのエッジ2221がカップ部321の開口部3211から外側へ水平に伸びて複数の補助翼222dの形状が略三角形とされ、複数の補助翼222dの最も外側の部位が環状板23の内側の部位のみと接続されてもよい。この場合にもカップ部321の外側面321bにおける乱流の発生を抑制して低騒音化を図ることができ、隣接する2つの補助翼222dの間に開口25が設けられ、補助翼222dおよび開口25の作用によりカップ部321の内部にエアが供給されることにより電機子315の温度上昇を抑えることができる。   For example, the shape of the upper edge 2222 of the auxiliary wing 222 may be a shape in which a step is provided in the middle as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 17, the edges 2221 of the plurality of auxiliary wings 222d extend horizontally from the opening 3211 of the cup portion 321 to the outside, so that the shapes of the plurality of auxiliary wings 222d are substantially triangular, and the plurality of auxiliary wings 222d The outermost part may be connected only to the inner part of the annular plate 23. Also in this case, generation of turbulent flow on the outer side surface 321b of the cup portion 321 can be suppressed to reduce noise, and an opening 25 is provided between two adjacent auxiliary blades 222d. By supplying air into the cup part 321 by the action of 25, the temperature rise of the armature 315 can be suppressed.

上記実施の形態では電機子315のほぼ全体がカップ部321内に収納されるが、ベース部112の中心軸J1の周りに形成された凹部に電機子315が配置される場合は、電機子315の一部だけがカップ部321内に位置してもよい。また、軸受機構も玉軸受以外にスリーブ軸受等が用いられてもよい。   In the embodiment described above, almost the entire armature 315 is accommodated in the cup portion 321. However, when the armature 315 is disposed in a recess formed around the central axis J1 of the base portion 112, the armature 315 is disposed. May be located in the cup portion 321. In addition to the ball bearing, a sleeve bearing or the like may be used as the bearing mechanism.

環状板23は中心軸J1に垂直な板である必要はなく、例えば、円錐台状の傾斜面のように、中心軸J1を含む面による断面が中心軸J1に垂直な方向から傾斜していてもよい。また、上記実施の形態では開口25から電機子315へとエアが供給されるが、電機子315の温度上昇が許容範囲に収まるなどの理由で開口25を設ける必要がない場合は、開口25は設けられなくてもよい。   The annular plate 23 does not need to be a plate perpendicular to the central axis J1, and for example, a cross section by a plane including the central axis J1 is inclined from a direction perpendicular to the central axis J1, such as a truncated cone-shaped inclined surface. Also good. In the above embodiment, air is supplied from the opening 25 to the armature 315. However, if the opening 25 does not need to be provided because the temperature rise of the armature 315 is within an allowable range, the opening 25 is It may not be provided.
