Due to this, the disturbance of the air flow at the blade end part can be reduced, so the effect is obtained of noise reduction, and prevention of both a drop in air flow and increase of drive torque.
- the eighth embodiment is characterized by making the serration shapes of the blade end part at the blade trailing edge 7 smaller. Operational effects similar to the seventh embodiment are obtained.
- the ninth embodiment is an embodiment which makes the direction of the serrations of the blade leading edge 6 match the direction of diagonal flow and makes the serration shapes of the blade end part match the air flow due to the back flow, so as to deal with the flow of air near the blade surface of the blower.

- combinations of the fifth and sixth embodiments for the diagonal flow and the seventh and eighth embodiments for the back flow is included in the ninth embodiment.
- the present invention was described with reference to specific embodiments selected in accordance with the purpose of illustration, but it is clear that a person skilled in the art could conceive of numerous modifications without departing from the basic concept of the present invention and scope of disclosure of the same.

In the triangular shape projecting parts which form the serrations, here, the bottom side of the triangular shape projecting part will be called the “pitch p” of the serrations (triangular shape projecting parts), the line segment bisecting the vertex a of the triangular shape projecting part will be called the “direction” of the serrations (triangular shape projecting parts), and the distance of the bisecting line segment of the vertex to the bottom side will be called the “height h” of the serrations (triangular shape projecting parts). The larger “size” of the serrations (triangular shape projecting parts) indicates the larger of the pitch or height of the serrations. The vertexes a of the triangular shape projecting parts are called vertexes a of the serrations. In the case where the sides of the triangular shapes are curved, the shapes are generally based on these. - First, to start, the effects of the serrations which form the basis of the present invention will be explained. The simulation of
FIG. 3 is the case where the triangular shape projecting parts of the serrations are the same shapes in the direction of the blade leading edge.FIG. 3 is a view of a blade leading edge as seen from an upper position. The arrow marks which are shown inFIG. 3 show projections of the tangential velocity of the flows around the serrations on the projection plane of the X-Z plane (S plane ofFIG. 4 ). A flow from the valley parts at the two sides to the top surface of a peak part can be seen as occurring. At the serrations, first, at the tip parts of the peaks, small vortexes occur. These grow to large vortexes further toward the valleys. Further, backward the peaks, it is believed that downward flows occurred by the vortexes, press down the flow separation, which particularly easily occurs at the negative pressure surface with the large flow rate, and therefore reduce the flow separation. Due to this, the disturbances near the blade surface are eased and the fluctuation of pressure at the blade surface is suppressed, so it becomes possible to obtain an effect leading to lower noise. - The first embodiment of the present invention is an embodiment changing the pitch, height, or direction of the serrations according to the flow of air at the radial direction position of the
blower fan 1, in order to utilize the above basic effect of the serrations. That is, the first embodiment differs in at least one of the pitch, height, and direction of serrations in the first portion and second portion which are different in distance in the radial direction of the blower fan from the center Q of rotation of theblade 3. As one example of the first portion and second portion of theblade 3, parts differing in the flow rate of air (flow rates ofFIGS. 7 and 8 ) and directions of flow etc. may be mentioned. However the invention is not limited to these portions, but portions of any two locations along theblade 3. The flow of air near the blade surfaces of the blower greatly differ depending on the portion. The nearer to the outer circumference side in the radial direction of the blower fan the portion of the blade is, the higher the flow rate is. Further, at a forward curved blade, the flow becomes an axial flow which concentrates at the blade center, while at a backward curved blade, the flow becomes a diagonal flow which heads toward the outer circumferential direction of the blade. Furthermore, at the blade outer end part, a back flow arises from the positive pressure surface to the negative pressure surface. Changing the pitch, height, or direction of serrations in accordance with the flow of air at radial direction positions of the blower fan 1 (at least two locations) is extremely important in reducing the flow separation. Due to this, the basic effect of the serrations is exhibited, disturbances near the blade surfaces are eased, and pressure fluctuations at the blade surfaces are suppressed, so it becomes possible to obtain an effect leading to lower noise. - The first embodiment is a fan which is characterized by providing flow control shapes which minimize the noise which is produced due to disturbance of the air at different positions of the blades. Due to the flow control shapes, the effect is obtained of both noise reduction and prevention of a drop in the air flow and increase of the drive torque. The blades have serration shape (sawtooth teeth) portions. The serration shapes are changed according to the flow of air. According to this, it is possible to suitably set the serration shapes at the individual portions which differ in direction of air flow and flow rate, so it is possible to realize the effect of both noise reduction and the prevention of both a drop of the air flow and increase of the drive torque.
- The second and third embodiments are embodiments corresponding to the case where the air near a blade surface of the blower flows in the circumferential direction of the blower fan. The second embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 7 , is characterized in that the further to the blade outside diameter side the blade is, the larger the sizes of the serrations are made. The serrations are directed toward the circumferential direction of the blower fan. According to this, the size of the serrations is increased at the portion with a large flow rate at the blade outer circumference side, and the whirled air flow which is formed at the serrations, becomes weaker at a portion further toward the blade inside circumference side and becomes stronger at a portion further toward the blade outer circumference side. Due to this, at the flow with a high flow rate where flow separation would easily occur, it is possible to form a downward flow toward the blade surface and reduce the flow separation to obtain the effect of both noise reduction and the prevention of a drop in the air flow and increase of the drive torque at the blade as a whole. - The third embodiment, as seen in
FIG. 8 , is characterized in that the further to the blade outside diameter side the blade is, the more acute the vertices a of the serrations is. According to this, the serration angle is made acute at the portion of the large flow rate at the blade outer circumference side, and the whirled air flow which is formed at the serrations becomes weaker at a portion further to the blade inside circumference side and becomes stronger at a portion further to the blade outer circumference side. Due to this, at the flow with a high flow rate where flow separation would easily occur, it is possible to strengthen the downward flow at the blade surfaces formed at the serration valley parts in order to achieve both noise reduction, and prevention of both a drop in air flow and increase in drive torque in the blade as a whole. The invention is not limited to the case of making the pitch p of the serrations constant and increasing the height h of the serrations to make the angle acute. It is also possible to make the serration angle acute, regardless of the length of the bottom sides of the triangular shaped projections, at the portions with a large flow rate at the blade outer circumference side. - The fourth embodiment, as seen in
FIG. 9 , is characterized in that theblade trailing edge 7 is also provided with serrations and in that theblade leading edge 6 andblade trailing edge 7 are changed in serration shapes. When theblade trailing edge 7 is provided with serrations, since the flow at the high pressure blade positive pressure surface and the flow at the low pressure blade negative pressure surface are mixed near the blade trailing edge, the flows of the two surfaces gradually cross due to the serrations, so it is possible to suppress the disturbances in the flow of air of the blade trailing edge. Theblade leading edge 6 and theblade trailing edge 7 may be suitably set with serration shapes. If theblade trailing edge 7 is made smaller in size of serrations compared with theblade leading edge 6, the serrations at the blade leading edge side, which are provided for suppressing flow separation, can be made larger so as to form a radiated flow. On the other hand, the serrations at the blade trailing edge side, which are provided for suppressing disturbances of the air flow, can be made smaller so as to make the flows at the positive and negative pressure surfaces gradually cross. Therefore, the effect is obtained of both noise reduction, and the prevention of both a drop in the air flow and increase of the drive torque. It is also possible to change the range of provision of serrations between the blade trailing edge and the blade leading edge, and possible to provide serrations at only suitable positions of theblade leading edge 6 andblade trailing edge 7. - In the following fifth and sixth embodiments, embodiments are explained which correspond to the case where the flow of air near the blade surfaces of the blower is a diagonal flow slanted with respect to the circumferential direction of the blower fan.
- The fifth embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 10 , is an embodiment corresponding to the case where the flow of air near the blade surfaces of the blower is a diagonal flow. The fifth embodiment matches the direction of the serrations of the blade leading edge with the direction of diagonal flow. The sixth embodiment, as shown inFIG. 11 , is characterized by changing the range of provision of serrations between theblade trailing edge 7 and theblade leading edge 6. For example, when the air flow becomes a diagonal flow such as with a backward curved blade, the air flows on the blade surface in the direction to the outer circumference, from theblade leading edge 6 toward theblade trailing edge 7. At this time, at the blade leading edge side where there is interference with the air flow at all positions of the blade, serrations are provided over a wide range, while at the blade trailing edge side, serrations are provided at only the parts with remarkable diagonal flow, so noise reduction and prevention of a drop of air flow and increase of drive torque can both be realized. - The following seventh and eighth embodiments are embodiments corresponding to the case where the flow of air near the blade surface of the blower is a back flow from the positive pressure surface of the blade end part to the negative pressure surface side.
- The seventh embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 12 , is characterized by making the serration shapes of the blade end part smaller. According to this, the serration shapes are made smaller at the blade end part where the disturbance of the air flow due to the back flow is large, so the swirl of the air flow formed at the serrations is subdivided. Due to this, the disturbance of the air flow at the blade end part can be reduced, so the effect is obtained of noise reduction, and prevention of both a drop in air flow and increase of drive torque. The eighth embodiment, as shown inFIG. 13 , is characterized by making the serration shapes of the blade end part at theblade trailing edge 7 smaller. Operational effects similar to the seventh embodiment are obtained. - The ninth embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 14 , is an embodiment which makes the direction of the serrations of theblade leading edge 6 match the direction of diagonal flow and makes the serration shapes of the blade end part match the air flow due to the back flow, so as to deal with the flow of air near the blade surface of the blower. The ninth embodiment is included in the first embodiment. According to this, it is possible to set the direction of the serrations to match the direction of flow, so the effect is obtained of noise reduction, and prevention of both a drop in air flow and increase in drive torque. Of course, combinations of the fifth and sixth embodiments for the diagonal flow and the seventh and eighth embodiments for the back flow is included in the ninth embodiment. The present invention was described with reference to specific embodiments selected in accordance with the purpose of illustration, but it is clear that a person skilled in the art could conceive of numerous modifications without departing from the basic concept of the present invention and scope of disclosure of the same. -
