Description

    BACKGROUND
  • The invention relates to a passive fan assembly, and in particular, to a passive fan assembly provided with guide blades for increasing the kinetic energy received by the impeller of the assembly in operation and promoting the efficiency of energy transfer.
  • Generally, a fan is used together with a motor. The motor rotates the fan to dissipate heat.
  • A conventional fan presents the following drawbacks. A fan and a motor are generally used together, thus, a consumer must pay for the motor and the fan. The motor, coupled to a fan, occupies additional space even if the size of the motor is minimized. Moreover, if the components to be cooled are disposed in different locations in an electronic system, more than one fan and motor are required. More motors used in the electronic system indicate more power has to be provided and consumed, which does not conform to the trend of saving power.
  • Thus, a passive fan assembly capable of providing an improved heat-dissipating efficiency by effectively using airflow is desirable.
    • SUMMARY
  • The invention provides a passive fan assembly comprising a plurality of guide blades disposed in front of an impeller. The guide blades extend at about 90 degrees relative to blades of the impeller. Thus, in operation, the airflow passes through the guide blades, turns, and impacts on the blades of the impeller at about 90 degrees, thereby effectively rotating the impeller and promoting the heat-dissipating efficiency.
  • A passive fan assembly in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention includes a base, an impeller connected to the base, and a cover disposed in front of the impeller and connected to the base.
  • The impeller includes a hub, a plurality of runner blades disposed around the hub, a partition connected to ends of the runner blades, a plurality of active blades disposed around the partition, and a rotary shaft axially extending from the hub.
  • The base includes a frame, a bearing seat, a plurality of connecting elements connecting the frame and the bearing seat, and a bearing disposed in the bearing seat for holding the rotary shaft of the impeller.
  • The cover includes a frame, a stationary part, a plurality of guide blades disposed around the stationary part, a stationary ring connected to ends of the guide blades, and a plurality of supporting elements connecting the stationary ring and the frame.
  • The guide blade of the cover extends at about 90 degrees relative to the runner blade of the impeller. Thus, in operation, the airflow passes through the guide blades, turns, and impacts the runner blades at about 90 degrees, which accordingly drives the active blades to rotate.
  • The passive fan assembly of the invention is capable of effectively using the airflow and promoting the heat-dissipating efficiency.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • The invention can be more fully understood by reading the subsequent detailed description and examples with references made to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the passive fan assembly in accordance with the invention;
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded view of a passive fan assembly of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 shows the arrangement of a guide blade and a runner blade of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view of a passive fan assembly in accordance with the invention;
  • FIG. 5A is a velocity diagram of airflow entering a passive fan assembly, wherein the passive fan assembly has no guide blades;
  • FIG. 5B is a velocity diagram of airflow entering the passive fan assembly of the invention, wherein the passive fan assembly has guide blades.
    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, a passive fan assembly in accordance with an embodiment of the invention includes a base 1, an impeller 2 mounted on the base 1, and a cover 3 disposed in front of the impeller 2 and connected to the base 1.
  • The impeller 2 includes a hub 20, a plurality of runner blades 22 encircling the hub 20, a partition 24 connected to ends of the runner blades 22, a plurality of active blades 26 encircling the partition 24, and a rotary shaft 28 axially extending from the hub 20.
  • The base 1 includes a frame 10, a bearing seat 12, a plurality of ribs 14 connecting the frame 10 and the bearing seat 12, and at least one bearing 16 disposed in the bearing seat 12 for holding the rotary shaft 28 of the impeller 2. The bearing 16 may be a bushing bearing, a ball bearing, a magnetic bearing or any other bearing in which the rotary shaft 28 can be stably rotated. Furthermore, a plurality of airflow-guiding blades can be substituted for the ribs 14 in the base 1 to guide airflow.
  • The cover 3 includes a frame 30, a stationary part 32, a plurality of guide blades 34 disposed around the stationary part 32, a stationary ring 36 connected to ends of the guide blades 34, and a plurality of supporting elements 38 connecting the stationary ring 36 and the frame 30.
  • Referring to FIG. 3, the guide blade 34 of the cover 3 is approximately perpendicular to the runner blade 22 of the impeller 2. When passing through the guide blade 34, the airflow turns and impacts the runner blade 22 at about 90 degrees, which drives the active blades 26 to rotate.
  • When the passive fan assembly of the invention is used together with an airflow-providing system, the cover 3 of the passive fan assembly is connected to the airflow outlet 4 of an airflow-generating device (e.g. an axial fan or an air blower) in the airflow-providing system. In operation, high-pressure airflow generated by the airflow-generating device entirely enters the passive fan assembly through the guide blades 34. The guide blades 34 have inclined surfaces to change the direction of the airflow so that the airflow can effectively impact the runner blades 22 of the impeller 2.
  • The function of the guide blades 34 of the invention can be clearly explained by referring to FIGS. 5A and 5B. FIG. 5A is a velocity diagram of airflow entering a passive fan assembly, wherein the passive fan assembly has no guide blades. The airflow, generated by an airflow-generating device, is axial high-pressure airflow and has a velocity Vin. The vector V2 of velocity Vin determines the work done by the airflow on the runner blade 22, while no work is contributed by the vector V1. It is therefore understood that a part of kinetic energy of the airflow is lost. FIG. 5B is a velocity diagram of airflow entering the passive fan assembly of the invention, wherein the passive fan assembly has guide blades 34. When the axial airflow passes through the guide blade 34, the velocity of the axial airflow changes from Vin to Vin′ which is approximately perpendicular to the runner blade 22. Then, the airflow can fully do work on the runner blade 22 so that the kinetic energy transferred from the runner blade 22 to the active blade 26 is maximized. Thus, the heat-dissipating efficiency of the active blade 26 is significantly improved.
  • In conclusion, the passive fan assembly of the invention is capable of effectively promoting the energy transfer and providing a better heat-dissipating efficiency.
  • While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements (as would be apparent to those skilled in the art). Therefore, the scope of the appended claims should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements.
