- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to a cross-flow fan, and more particularly to an innovative one which is designed into a thin-profile one with air volume gain effect.
- 2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 37 CFR 1.98.
- The “cross-flow fan” referred hereto is also called a centrifugal fan. Its difference with the axial-flow fan lies in that, the air stream of axial-flow fan is guided axially along the axle center of the fan motor, and that of the cross-flow fan is guided radially along the axle center of the fan motor. A large-sized cross-flow fan is often represented by an air blower. As for the structural design of large-sized or small-sized cross-flow fan, the motor parts are generally assembled externally on the casing, and only fan blade assembly is accommodated in the casing.
- Coupling with the development trend of computer and electronic products towards thin-profile design, a cross-flow fan structure with appropriate air flow path must be adopted since an axial-flow fan cannot be adapted to such thin-profile heat radiating space. Yet, such common cross-flow fan structure also encounters few bottlenecks and challenges with growing demands on the thin-profile products. Specifically, the motor must be shifted into the fan casing for a thinner cross-flow fan. In such a case, the cross-flow fan casing is only about 4 mm high. But after the motor is shifted into the fan casing, the external diameter of the central hub of the fan blade assembly will be increased and the sectional area of internal annular flow space will be reduced. Besides, a bigger problem lies in that, the built-in motor of common cross-flow fan is generally of a radial magnetic flux pattern, whereby the magnetic ring of the rotor is set radially (or laterally) at a spacing with the periphery of the stator coil. So, the lateral space within the rotor hub area of the motor is blocked by the components such as magnetic ring and coil, leading to lack of air flow space. Hence, the maximum air flux of common cross-flow fan can only be realized by the limited annular guide space between the fan casing and rotor hub of the motor, and up to now, there still lacks of a solution for efficiently increasing the air flux without changing the volume and specification of fan casing.
- Thus, to overcome the aforementioned problems of the prior art, it would be an advancement if the art to provide an improved, structure that can significantly improve the efficacy.
- Therefore, the inventor has provided the present invention of practicability after deliberate design and evaluation based on years of experience in the production, development and design of related products.
- Based on the structural design and technical characteristics of the present invention wherein the “thin-profile cross-flow fan with air volume gain effect” mainly comprises a thin-profile casing, cross-flow guide passage, blade assembly, auxiliary guide ring portion, axial magnetic motor and radial flow-through auxiliary guide portion, when the thin-profile cross-flow fan is operated, the air stream guided from the air inlet can be guided to the air outlet through the circulation space or the auxiliary guide ring portion and radial flow-through auxiliary guide portion, thus increasing the air flux and volume of the thin-profile cross-flow fan and also improving, greatly its gain effect and performance with better applicability and industrial benefits.
- Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
