Description
- The present application is based on, and claims priority from, Taiwan application Ser. No. 93133855, filed Nov. 5, 2004, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a centrifugal fan, and more particularly, to a centrifugal fan with a surface of a volute sidewall at a tongue shape being formed with at least one groove substantially extending horizontally.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- A heat dissipation module is necessary to provide effective heat dissipation for a portable electrical apparatus, and especially for a notebook personal computer (PC), so as to allow the best performance. When heat accumulates in and cannot dissipate from the apparatus, the electrical devices and the apparatus as a whole cannot work normally. The computer system, in particular, will crash. However, in order to satisfy the market requirement for mobilization, sufficient space cannot be possibly formed in the casing of the notebook PC for natural convection. Because heat dissipation design for high-frequency devices has encountered its bottleneck, the heat dissipation module of the notebook PC tends to dissipate heat with forced convection generated by a centrifugal fan.
- Reference is made to
FIGS. 1 and 1 A, which depict a perspective view and a top plan view showing a centrifugal fan of the prior art. Thecentrifugal fan 10, installed in a portable electrical apparatus such as a notebook PC, comprises acasing 11 andblades 31. Thecasing 11 has avolute sidewall 13 and abottom plate 15, and thecasing 11 defines acavity 17 and anoutlet 19. Avolute channel 21 is jointly defined by thecavity 17 and theoutlet 19, and atongue shape 23 is formed from thevolute sidewall 13 on a side of theoutlet 19. Theblades 31 are disposed vertically with a rotational axis 33 on thebottom plate 15 in thecavity 17. Rotation ofblades 31 drives ahorizontal airflow 25. Thehorizontal airflow 25 can be exhausted via dynamic and static pressures generated by thehorizontal airflow 25 passing through thevolute channel 21. - The
outlet 19 of the prior art uses a curved surface and divergent duct with a constant cross-section, which means asurface 16 of thevolute sidewall 13 at thetongue shape 23 is parallel to the rotational axis 33. This makes the airflow generate dynamic and static pressure, which resists outside force to achieve the effect of heat dissipation. - Reference is made to
FIG. 2 , which depicts a schematic diagram showing a wake flow generated by the centrifugal fan of the prior art blowing on the volute sidewall at the tongue shape. When thewake flow 35 generated by theblades 31 is blowing on thesurface 16 of thevolute sidewall 13 at thetongue shape 23, eachblasting point 41 is generated and regarded as a sound source that generatesnarrow band noise 43. Because thesurface 16 of thevolute sidewall 13 at thetongue shape 23 is parallel to the rotational axis 33, according to the superposition principle, thenarrow band noise 43 with alarge amplitude 45 and constant blade pass frequency will be generated. Once it is necessary to enhance the efficiency of the heat dissipation, the flow rate and the wind velocity must be increased. However, the more the rotational speed and the flow rate are increased, the higher the frequency of the noise band is. Therefore, the noise is increasing. The trade off between the noise and the heat dissipation is a serious problem. - It is an aspect of the present invention to provide a centrifugal fan suitable for a portable electrical apparatus. A tongue shape is formed from the volute sidewall of a casing of the centrifugal fan. The volute sidewall is formed with at least one groove substantially extending horizontally at the tongue shape. Therefore, when the blades rotate to generate a wake flow to blow the surface of the volute sidewall at the tongue shape, noise generated by the centrifugal fan can be reduced.
- According to the aforementioned aspect of the present invention, a centrifugal fan is provided, which is suitable for a portable electrical apparatus and comprises a casing having a bottom plate and a volute sidewall disposed on the bottom plate to define a cavity and an outlet. A tongue shape is formed from the volute sidewall on at least one side of the outlet; and blades are disposed vertically with a rotational axis on the bottom plate of the cavity. The volute sidewall is formed with at least one groove substantially extending horizontally at the tongue shape.
- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the aforementioned portable electrical apparatus is a notebook PC.
- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a surface of the aforementioned volute sidewall at the tongue shape is, for example, formed with on or more grooves substantially extending horizontally.
- The surface of the volute sidewall at the tongue shape of the centrifugal fan of the invention is formed with at least one groove substantially extending horizontally, resulting in easy manufacture and improvement of the issue of noise caused by the centrifugal fan.

FIG. 3 , which depicts a perspective view showing a centrifugal fan in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Thecentrifugal fan 100 installed in a portable electrical apparatus such as a notebook PC, comprises acasing 111 andblades 131. Thecasing 111 has avolute sidewall 113 and abottom plate 115, and thecasing 111 defines acavity 117 and anoutlet 119. Avolute channel 121 is jointly defined by thecavity 117 and theoutlet 119, and atongue shape 123 is formed from thevolute sidewall 113 on a side of theoutlet 119. Theblades 131 are disposed vertically with arotational axis 133 on thebottom plate 115 in thecavity 117, and preferably, theblades 131 are disposed vertically to thebottom plate 115. Rotation of theblades 131 drives ahorizontal airflow 125. Thehorizontal airflow 125 can be exhausted via dynamic and static pressure generated by thehorizontal airflow 125 passing through thevolute channel 121. Meanwhile, whenhorizontal airflow 125 is generated by theblades 131 rotating, theblades 131 blow on asurface 116 of thevolute sidewall 113 at thetongue shape 123. Agroove 118 is formed on thetongue shape 123 and substantially extends horizontally to destruct the wave superposition resulted from a wake flow 135 (as shown inFIG. 4 ) generated by theblades 131 rotating on thesurface 116 of thevolute sidewall 113 at thetongue shape 123, so that the noise generated by the centrifugal fan can be reduced. According to this invention, thegroove 118 may be integrally formed on thecasing 111 by plastic injection molding, metal casting or metal stamping. - Reference is made to

When thewake flow 135 generated by theblades 131 is blowing on thesurface 116 of thevolute sidewall 113 at the tongue shape 123 (as shown inFIG. 3 ), eachblasting point 141 is generated and regarded as a sound source that generatesnarrow band noise 143. Because thesurface 116 of thevolute sidewall 113 at thetongue shape 123 is formed with agroove 118 substantially extending horizontally, the time at which each sound source is generated is different. Therefore, comparing to priot amplitude 45 (as shown inFIG. 2 ), theamplitude 145 can be substantially reduced as a result of less constructive interference of sound waves generated by the sound sources on different time; that is to say, thenarrow band noise 143 is lessened. - According to this invention, a part of the
groove 118 substantially extending horizontally on thesurface 116 corresponds to where thewake flow 135 of theblades 131 is blown. For example, reference is made toFIG. 4A , thegroove 118 formed on thesurface 116 of thevolute side wall 113 at thetongue shape 123 is located to face theblades 131 at a midpoint of a height direction of theblades 131. Thegroove 118 alternatively be located to face an upper side or a lower side with respect to the height direction of theblades 131, so long as a part of thegroove 118 corresponds to where thewake flow 135 of theblades 131 are blown. In addition, thesurface 116 of thevolute sidewall 113 at thetongue shape 123 may also be formed with two oremore grooves 118 substantially extending horizontally.FIG. 4A depicts a perspective view showing a centrifugal fan in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, where thegroove 118 substantially extending horizontally on thesurface 116 is of a rectangular cross-section. -
FIG. 5 depicts a cross-sectional view of a surface of a volute sidewall at a tongue shape in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention, wherein thesurface 116 is formed thereon with twogrooves 118 each of rectangular cross-section.FIG. 6 depicts a cross-sectional view of a surface of a volute sidewall at a tongue shape in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention, wherein thesurface 116 is formed with agroove 118 a of a rounded cross-section. However, this invention is not limited the above number or cross-sectional shapes of the grooves. Persons having ordinary skills in the relevant art should be able to comprehend this invention and utilizes other means, in accordance with the actual needs, to adjust the number or cross-sectional shapes of the grooves, or to combine plural grooves of different cross-sections on the surface, which are not described in detail herein. - As mentioned above, the
groove 118 formed on the surface of thevolute sidewall 113 at thetongue shape 123 can effectively reduce theamplitude 145 of the noise. Hence, the broader band noise is obtained to allow a user to experience a better quality of sound. -
FIG. 7A illustrates the blade pass frequency of a centrifugal fan where no groove is formed to the surface of the volute sidewall. Significant blade pass frequency can be observed at the operation frequencies of 900 Hz and 1900 Hz.FIG. 7B illustrates the blade pass frequency of a centrifugal fan where one groove is formed to the surface of the volute sidewall.FIG. 7B clearly illustrates the significant reduction of the blade pass frequency at the operation frequencies of 900 Hz and 1900 Hz. - Therefore, according to the aforementioned preferred embodiments, one advantage of the centrifugal fan of the present invention is that the surface of the volute sidewall at the tongue shape of the centrifugal fan is formed with at least one groove substantially extending horizontally. Therefore, when the blades rotate to generate a wake flow to blow on the surface of the volute sidewall at the tongue shape, noise generated by the centrifugal fan can be reduced.
- As is understood by a person skilled in the art, the foregoing preferred embodiments of the present invention are illustrated of the present invention rather than limiting of the present invention. It is intended that various modifications and similar arrangements be included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims, the scope of which should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar structure.
