  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a blower according to Embodiment 1, and FIG. 2 is a side sectional view.

  As shown in these figures, the air blower 1 is composed of an upper surface 52 that is an upstream direction in which one side is an L square, and an outer shell 2 that is a flow passage wall surface that blocks the radial direction (shown in a transparent manner in the drawings). An electric motor 4 is fixed through an electric motor support 3 provided inside, and a side plate having a disk-like main plate 6 having a connecting portion 5 with the electric motor shaft at the center and a suction port 7 in the center facing the main plate 6. 8, a centrifugal fan 10 having a radius of 0.3 L, which is composed of nine blades 9 that are sandwiched between the main plate 6 and the side plates 8 and arranged in a ring shape at equal intervals. The dust collection filter 11 is provided.

  Here, FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram on the main plate 6, the pressure surface side region 12 that bisects the blades on the main plate 6, and the outside outside the center of the radial region of the blades 9. In the region 13, the main plate 6 has a removal portion 16 that is in contact with the positive pressure surface 15 of the blade plate 9, leaving the outermost peripheral portion 14 of the main plate 6.

In the above configuration, this Toka et having a removal portion 16 in contact with the positive pressure side region 12 pressure side 15, a stream 18 which leads directly to the main plate back region 17 leaking flow is boosted by the positive pressure surface of the blade plate from the main plate By doing so, it is possible to avoid a flow velocity deficit in the dust collection filter 11 that is close to the downstream side of the main plate, and the air velocity passing through the dust collection filter 11 is made uniform by equalizing the flow velocity, so that it increases exponentially according to the flow velocity. Since the pressure loss can be reduced and the work amount of the fan can be reduced by this amount, the overall efficiency of the thinned blower can be increased.

Moreover, since the removal part 16 exists in the outer side area | region 13, in the flow between the blades which becomes high pressure as the outer periphery, the flow which passes a main board only in the high pressure area | region of the outer latter half is produced, The main board back area | region 17 It is possible to prevent the backflow flow to the upstream side of the centrifugal fan generated in the low pressure region, and to deal with the dust collection filter 11 having a larger pressure loss.

  Further, the flow blown out from the centrifugal fan 10 decreases in flow rate in inverse proportion to the square of the distance, and generates an inward reaction force when colliding with the outer shell 2 in the circumferential direction in proportion to the square of the flow velocity. If the reaction force becomes weaker than 10% immediately after the centrifugal fan 10 is blown out, the outward flow from the blade plate 9 becomes more stable than the flow through the removal portion 16, but the fan radius is 0.3L. On the other hand, the distance from the centrifugal fan shaft 19 to the outer shell is less than three times that is 0.5 L, so that the reduction in the effect of the removal portion can be suppressed, and the centrifugal fan and the outer wall can be connected. Since it can approach, the air blower 1 can be made compact.

  The distance from the centrifugal fan shaft 19 to the outer shell 2 may be a distance larger than the radius of the centrifugal fan 10 that does not come into contact with the centrifugal fan 10. Since interference noise is generated when the plate 9 and the outer shell 2 approach or separate from each other, the distance from the centrifugal fan shaft 19 to the outer shell 2 is preferably about 1.1 times the radius of the centrifugal fan 10 or more. .

  Moreover, since it is the removal part 16 which left the outermost periphery part 14, since each blade | wing plate is fixed in an outermost periphery part, intensity | strength rises and the distortion by the blade | wing by centrifugal force and the blurring by rotation are suppressed, noise Can be suppressed and performance can be stabilized.

  In addition, since the dust collection filter 11 is used as the pressure loss body of the present invention, the pressure loss due to the uniform flow velocity is achieved even if the pressure loss when passing through the dust collection filter is increased in order to collect fine dust collection. Since the efficiency increase effect due to the reduction can be obtained, the blower can be thin and have high dust collection efficiency.

  In the present invention, the range of the removal portion is the pressure surface side region 12 that bisects the blades on the main plate 6 and the outer region 13 outside the center of the radial region of the blades 9. In general, the lower the pressure side region and the inner region, the lower the pressure. If the pressure on the back side of the main plate is higher than this, back flow to the front side of the main plate occurs. If it is the removal part 16 of this, the efficiency increase effect by the pressure loss fall by the uniform flow velocity will be acquired.

  Also, the pressure loss body of the present invention may be a deodorizing filter obtained by solidifying activated carbon with a gap in the flow path, and even if the deodorizing filter is built in densely to increase the deodorizing efficiency, the flow rate is increased. Since the effect of increasing the efficiency due to the pressure loss reduction due to the homogenization can be obtained, it is possible to obtain a blower that is thin and has good deodorization efficiency.

  In addition, the pressure loss body of the present invention may be a humidifying filter, and a humidification filter is provided by externally providing a water supply mechanism and moisturizing a humidifying filter formed of a fine non-woven fabric etc. Even if the pressure loss of the filter is increased, the effect of increasing the efficiency due to the pressure loss reduction due to the uniform flow velocity can be obtained.

  In addition, the pressure loss body of the present invention may be a dehumidifying member obtained by solidifying silica gel with a gap in the flow path, and as a dehumidifying member having a fine flow path for high dehumidification efficiency, even if the pressure loss is increased, the flow rate is uniform. Since the effect of increasing the efficiency due to the decrease in pressure loss due to the conversion is obtained, it is possible to provide a thin and highly efficient dehumidifying device.

It is possible to avoid a flow velocity deficit in the air blower, and to improve the efficiency of the entire blower.

  Further, since the rectifying plate 26 is connected to the positive pressure surface 15, the outward flow is blocked, and the pressure increased between the blade plates is directed toward the main plate back side region, so that the pressure loss closer to the downstream side of the main plate is achieved. The flow velocity deficit in the body can be avoided, and the efficiency of the entire blower can be increased.

  Further, since the vane plate 21 has a twisted shape 24, the flow that has been boosted between the vane plates by the removal portion 16 that forms a flow path to the back of the main plate and the twist that produces a downward pressure-increasing action is caused by the main plate. The effect toward the back side can be increased, the flow velocity deficit in the pressure loss body closer to the downstream side of the main plate can be avoided, and the efficiency of the entire blower can be increased.

  In the second embodiment, the rectifying plate 26 is connected to the outer end 25. However, if the pressure surface 15 is not the outer end 25, the flow increased between the blades is similarly applied to the rear side of the main plate. , The flow velocity deficit in the pressure loss member close to the downstream side of the main plate can be avoided, and the efficiency of the entire blower can be increased.

The material of the vane plate 32 is a sheet metal such as aluminum, and the portion of the rectifying plate 34 is bent at the outer peripheral portion 33 as an integral plate member in which the rectifying plate 34 is added to the outer peripheral portion 33 of the vane plate 32 as shown in FIG. Thus, a rectifying plate that is in contact with the main plate 31 and faces the outward flow and is connected to the positive pressure surface 15 of the vane plate 32 is formed, and this vane plate 32 is connected to the main plate 31 and the side plate 8 via the caulking joint 35 or the like. The centrifugal fan 29 is formed by fixing.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the removal portion 30 of the main plate 31 has circumferential ranges 38 and 39 in a radial cross section (for example, A cross section and B cross section) outside the center 37 of the radial removal section range 36. However, it has a shape that decreases toward the outside.

  In the above configuration, the rectifying plate 34 that opposes the outward flow 28 suppresses the outward flow and facilitates the flow increased in pressure between the blades toward the main plate back side region, so that the pressure loss closer to the downstream side of the main plate can be achieved. The flow velocity deficit in the body can be avoided, and the efficiency of the entire blower can be increased.

  Further, since the rectifying plate 34 is connected to the positive pressure surface 15 at the outer end portion of the vane plate 32, the outward flow 28 is blocked, and the flow increased between the vane plates is directed to the main plate back side region. Further, it is possible to avoid a flow velocity deficiency in the pressure loss body closer to the downstream side of the main plate, and it is possible to improve the efficiency of the entire blower.

  In addition, the influence of the removal portion and the rectifying plate is reduced outward, so that the removal portion and the rectifying plate are gradually reduced to reduce the vortex generated in the removal portion rear flow area 40 and match the main flow 41 in the impeller. By rectifying, it is possible to suppress the performance degradation of the blade itself caused by the flow disturbance.

A U-shaped notch 48 is provided, and a rectifying plate 51 that is in contact with the removal portion 50 and the main plate 44 and faces the outward flow is formed by bending the joint portion 49 where the main plate is bonded to the base point. The centrifugal fan 45 is formed by fixing the blade plate 9 to the main plate 44 and the side plate 8 via the crimping joint 35 and the like.

  In the above configuration, since the main plate 44, the removing portion 50, and the rectifying plate 51 are integrally formed, the rectifying plate can be easily provided without increasing the members other than the main plate, the side plate, and the blade plate.

  Further, since the heat exchanging member 47 is used as the pressure loss body of the present invention, the centrifugal fan can be used even if the clearance between the fin coils is made fine to increase the heat loss and the pressure loss when passing through the heat exchanging member is increased. By properly blowing air to the main plate back area 17, an effect of increasing efficiency due to pressure loss reduction due to uniform flow velocity can be obtained, so that a thin air blowing device with high dust collection efficiency can be obtained.
