Description

  The present invention relates to an electric fan that is installed on a ceiling, a wall, or a floor surface of a living room and is used for reducing the temperature of sensation caused by direct wind or circulating the air in the room.

  Conventionally, in this type of electric fan, the air boosted by the rotation of the blades is pushed out as an air current, and the air temperature is directly received to reduce the temperature of the body. It is also used to reduce air temperature consumption by agitating air using the swing function of a fan when using an air conditioner in summer, thereby suppressing temperature unevenness. However, it is difficult for the conventional electric fan to obtain a sufficient stirring effect because the air flow is difficult to spread and the range of swinging is limited.

  Therefore, a fan as shown in Patent Document 1 capable of switching the airflow is known to solve such problems. Hereinafter, the electric fan will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in the drawing, an electric motor 101 having a rotating shaft provided in a vertical direction, an impeller 102 attached to the electric motor 101, an electric fan main body 104 including a cover portion 103 that covers the vane plate 102, and an electric fan main The windshield part 105 which can be attached to the cover part of the part 104 is comprised.

  According to such a configuration, the vane plate 102 can send wind in a direction of 360 ° with respect to the first rotation direction, and a wide airflow can be generated, and the windbreak portion 105 can generate a spot airflow in an arbitrary range. Further, when the rotation axis of the electric motor 101 is oriented in the horizontal direction, a spot airflow in the axial direction is also possible by rotating in the second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction.

JP 2006-63948 A

  In such a conventional fan, it is necessary to change the direction of the rotating shaft of the electric motor in order to switch between the spot air current and the wide air current, and in order to obtain a desired wide air current, it is necessary to adjust the wind shield Therefore, there is a problem that the operation and the structure are complicated.

  Therefore, the present invention solves the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a fan that can switch between a spot air current and a wide air current with a simple operation and structure.

  In order to achieve this object, the present invention increases the speed of the axial flow direction component with respect to the first rotational direction by increasing the outlet angle on the outer peripheral side of the vane with respect to the first rotational direction and decreasing the inlet angle. The velocity vector of the centrifugal direction component with respect to the second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction is increased, thereby achieving the intended target.

  According to the present invention, on the outer peripheral side of the blade plate having a particularly large work amount, the outlet angle on the outer peripheral side of the blade plate with respect to the first rotation direction is increased and the inlet angle is decreased, so that the shaft in the first rotation direction is reduced. A spot airflow is obtained by increasing the velocity of the flow direction component, and a wide airflow is obtained by increasing the velocity of the centrifugal direction component in the second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction. For this reason, the effect that the spot air current and the wide air current can be properly used can be obtained only by switching the rotation direction of the blades without complicating the configuration of the electric fan.

The electric fan according to claim 1 of the present invention includes a plurality of blade plates, a fan main portion made of an electric motor that rotates the blade plates, a support portion that supports the fan main portion, and a base that supports the support portion. A fan having a base part and an operation part for switching the rotation direction of the blade plate to the first rotation direction or the second rotation direction, the outer periphery of the blade plate in a blowing direction of the first rotation direction of the blade plate with gradually becomes smaller cylinder diameter towards said slats, at a position near the outer periphery than the central axis, the corner of the mouth out of the vane plate with respect to said first rotational direction by greater than the inlet angle, the blade plate The chord line center line connecting the center of the innermost chord to the center of the outermost chord is inclined in the blowing direction in the first rotation direction, and the extension line of the chord line center line intersects the cylinder. It has the structure of. As a result, on the outer peripheral side where the work volume of the blade is particularly large, the velocity of the axial flow component increases in the first rotation direction, so that a spot airflow is likely to occur, and in the second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction Since the velocity of the component is increased, a wide air current is generated, so that the spot air current and the wide air current can be easily realized only by switching the rotation direction.

In particular, the chord line center line connecting the center of the innermost chord to the center of the outermost chord of the blade plate is inclined in the direction of the spot airflow, and the extension line of the chord line center line extends to the cylinder. by the structure intersecting, because by that tilting the slats, in the first rotational direction easily concentrated to the airflow is one point, also the air flow blown in the second rotational direction spreads easily in the centrifugal direction, wherein Even if the radial dimension of the vane plate is reduced, the vane plate can be downsized without impairing the effects of the spot airflow and the wide airflow.

In addition, by providing a cylinder whose diameter gradually decreases with respect to the direction of the spot airflow on the outer periphery of the vane plate, the diameter of the cylinder decreases in the first rotation direction, so that the airflow tends to gather at one point. Since the diameter of the cylinder increases in the second rotation direction, the airflow is likely to spread, so that the effects of the spot airflow and the wide airflow can be promoted.

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

(Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIG. 1, the electric fan 1 includes an impeller 21 (for example, a diameter of 272 mm) in which a plurality of blade plates 2 are attached to a hub 20, an electric motor 3 that rotates the impeller 21, and an outer periphery of the impeller 21. For example, a cover main body 6 including a cover 4 having a diameter of 350 mm, an electric motor support portion 5 that supports the electric motor 3, a post portion 7 that supports the electric fan main portion 6, and a base that supports the post portion 7. It is comprised from the base part 8 and the operation part 9 which switches the rotation direction of the impeller 21. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the shape of the blade cross section 13 which is the AA ′ cross section (for example, a cross section having a radius of 125 mm) of the blade plate 2 is tangent to which the wind enters when assuming the first rotation direction. The inlet angle α (for example, α = 15 °) formed with the direction, the outlet angle β (for example, β = 40 °) formed with the tangential direction through which the wind goes out through the first rotational pressure surface, and the inlet of the blade 2 And a chord length L (for example, L = 80 mm) connecting the outlet and the outlet, and a mounting angle γ (for example, γ = 30 °) formed by the chord length L. Here, the relationship between the entrance angle α and the exit angle β in the present invention is preferably α <β.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the cylindrical cover 4 covering the outer periphery of the impeller 21 has a relationship in which the diameters D1 and D2 of the respective openings are D1> D2, and here, as an example, D1 = 350 mm, D2 = 300 mm It was. The electric motor support unit 5 includes a swing unit 19 including a swing mechanism (not shown), and the swing unit 19 and the column unit 7 are connected by a screwing unit 18. The motor support unit 5 includes a reversing unit 10 including a reversing mechanism (not shown) that can change the direction of the motor 3 by 180 °, and the motor 3 is connected to the motor supporting unit 5 via the reversing unit 10. .

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the impeller 21 connected to the electric motor 3 can be reversed 180 ° about the reversing unit 10, and the impeller 21 can be horizontally swung by the swinging unit 19. The head can be swung within a movable range of a swing angle C (for example, C = 120 °).

  According to such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 7, when the impeller 21 is rotated in the first rotation direction by the operation unit 9, the wind is increased along the first rotation direction positive pressure surface 14 and is sent out in the blowing direction. It is. Here, the tangential velocity vector V blown out from the wind vane 2 is considered by decomposing the velocity triangle into an axial flow velocity vector VX and a centrifugal velocity vector VY. When the exit angle β is increased, the velocity vector VX in the axial direction of the velocity vector V is increased. Thereby, since the axial direction component of the velocity vector V becomes large, the airflow is less likely to spread in the centrifugal direction, and a spot airflow can be obtained.

  In addition, the cylindrical cover 4 that covers the impeller 21 gradually narrows the opening diameter from the windward to the leeward in the first rotation direction. Can produce airflow.

  Next, a case where the operation unit 9 is rotated in the second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction will be considered. As shown in FIG. 8, the wind entry direction and the blowing direction are reversed, and the pressure surface also becomes the second rotation direction pressure surface 15. Again, the tangential velocity vector V blown from the wind vane 2 is decomposed into an axial velocity vector VX and a centrifugal velocity vector VY by a velocity triangle.

  By reducing the entrance angle α in the first rotation direction, the centrifugal velocity vector VY increases in the second rotation direction. For this reason, since the centrifugal direction component of the velocity vector V becomes large, the air flow easily spreads in the centrifugal direction, and a wide air flow can be obtained.

  In addition, since the direction of the airflow is opposite to that of the first rotation direction, the airflow with respect to the cover 4 gradually increases in diameter from the windward side to the leeward side. Can be realized.

  Moreover, although the airflow direction is switched in the reverse direction by switching the rotation direction of the impeller 21, the direction of the impeller 21 can be reversed 180 ° by providing the reversing unit 10, so that it does not depend on the rotation direction. It is also possible to send out airflow in one direction.

  Further, since the swinging portion 19 is provided, a wider range of air can be agitated in the wide air flow.

  Furthermore, for example, when using a wide air current, the air in the room can be reversed and swung at regular time intervals to stir the air in the room substantially uniformly.

  Further, for example, when an air conditioner is used in summer, the room air is first stirred using a wide airflow for a certain time without reversing the direction of the impeller 21 (at this time, the wide airflow is directed toward the air conditioner). It is easier to agitate), and after that, by switching the direction of rotation and receiving the spot airflow on the body, it is possible to lower the temperature of experience with a cooler airflow in a shorter time than using only the spot airflow .

  Thus, by switching the rotation direction of the impeller 21, it is possible to easily obtain a spot airflow and a wide airflow without making a complicated configuration, and by adding a swing mechanism or a reversing mechanism, By adjusting the direction, the room air can be agitated, and energy savings can also be improved when an air conditioner is used together.

(Embodiment 2)
9, the same components as those in FIGS. 1 to 8 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the impeller 21 is a chord line centerline 17 that connects the center of the innermost chord to the center of the outermost chord in the vane plate 2 and the rotation center of the impeller 21. An angle B (for example, B = 15 °) formed by a vertical line 16 perpendicular to the axis center line 11 is provided.

  According to such a configuration, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, in the first rotation direction, the air current concentrates in the direction with the angle B, so that it easily becomes a spot air current. Further, as shown in FIG. 11, when the impeller 21 is rotated in the second rotation direction, the air flow direction is reversed, and since the vane plate 2 has a shape spreading to the outer periphery with the angle B, the spot air flow It is easy to become. By utilizing the effect of such a configuration, for example, even when the radial dimension of the impeller 21 is reduced, the effect of a spot air current and a wide air current equivalent to those of the blade plate 2 without the angle B can be obtained. The fan 1 can be downsized.

  The electric fan according to the present invention can switch between the spot airflow and the wide airflow according to the rotation direction of the blades. It is useful as a fan or the like in a blower used to eliminate unevenness.
