Description

送風機、およびその送風機を搭載した室外ユニットBlower and outdoor unit equipped with the blower
 本発明は、送風機、特に空気調和機やヒートポンプ式給湯機などの冷凍装置の室外ユニットに搭載されるものに関するものである。 The present invention relates to an air blower, particularly one mounted on an outdoor unit of a refrigeration apparatus such as an air conditioner or a heat pump type hot water heater.
 近年、空気調和機などの冷凍装置では、地球温暖化の対応として省エネルギ化が急激に進んでおり、機器の入力の低減が必要である。また、空気調和機の暖房快適性の向上が求められており、そのためには室外ユニットの熱交換器がより高性能となること、および、室外ユニットに搭載される送風機の低騒音化、大風量化も必須となっている。 In recent years, in refrigeration equipment such as air conditioners, energy saving is rapidly progressing as a countermeasure to global warming, and it is necessary to reduce the input of equipment. In addition, there is a need for improved heating comfort of air conditioners. For that purpose, the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit has higher performance, and the noise of the blower mounted on the outdoor unit is reduced. Quantification is also essential.
 従来、室外ユニットの送風機には、低騒音化、大風量化の観点から軸流式、あるいは斜流式の送風機が用いられてきたが、室外ユニットとして低騒音を維持しつつ、送風機の送風性能をさらに向上することが求められている。 Conventionally, axial blowers or mixed flow blowers have been used for outdoor unit blowers from the viewpoint of low noise and large air flow, but the blower performance of the blower while maintaining low noise as an outdoor unit. There is a demand for further improvement.
 このような送風機を低騒音化、大風量化する技術として、プロペラファン(送風機)の下流側に、空気流の有する動圧エネルギを静圧エネルギに変換して回収する静圧回収ベーン(静翼)を備えたものがある(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 As a technique for reducing the noise and increasing the air volume of such a blower, a static pressure recovery vane (static blade) that converts the dynamic pressure energy of the air flow into static pressure energy and recovers it downstream of the propeller fan (blower) ) (For example, see Patent Document 1).
 図13は、従来の室外ユニットを示す構成図である。図13において、室外ユニット101は、プロペラファン105と、プロペラファン105の外周に設けたマウスリング106と、プロペラファン105の吐出側で、マウスリング106の内側に設けられた静圧回収ベーン107を備えている。 FIG. 13 is a block diagram showing a conventional outdoor unit. In FIG. 13, the outdoor unit 101 includes a propeller fan 105, a mouth ring 106 provided on the outer periphery of the propeller fan 105, and a static pressure collection vane 107 provided inside the mouth ring 106 on the discharge side of the propeller fan 105. I have.
 マウスリング106は、プロペラファン105の吹出側である後縁側に位置して吹き出される空気流を案内するものであり、このマウスリング106の後部には前部より大径の拡大吹き出し口106aが形成されている。静圧回収ベーン107はプロペラファン105の後縁より下流側に位置している。また、静圧回収ベーン107の翼弦長は中央部から外周に向かうにしたがって大きくなるように形成されている。 The mouth ring 106 is located on the trailing edge side, which is the blowing side of the propeller fan 105, and guides the blown air flow. An enlarged blowing port 106a having a larger diameter than the front part is provided at the rear part of the mouth ring 106. Is formed. The static pressure recovery vane 107 is located downstream from the rear edge of the propeller fan 105. The chord length of the static pressure recovery vane 107 is formed so as to increase from the center toward the outer periphery.
 以上のように構成された室外ユニットでは、静圧回収ベーン107が周方向のエネルギ損失となる旋回流を静圧として回収することで、軸流風量を増加することができる。また、静圧回収ベーン107により、プロペラファン105からの旋回流を減速することができるため、騒音を低減できる。 In the outdoor unit configured as described above, the static pressure recovery vane 107 collects the swirling flow that causes energy loss in the circumferential direction as a static pressure, so that the axial flow rate can be increased. Further, since the swirl flow from the propeller fan 105 can be decelerated by the static pressure recovery vane 107, noise can be reduced.
 しかしながら、従来の室外ユニットなどに用いられるプロペラファン105などの送風機の回転羽根(動翼)では、羽根の半径方向位置で略中央より外周側に主流が集中するため、旋回方向成分も大きいが軸方向成分も大きくなり、動翼の後流からの流入速度も大きなものとなる。 However, in the rotary blades (moving blades) of a blower such as the propeller fan 105 used in a conventional outdoor unit, the mainstream is concentrated from the substantially central position to the outer peripheral side at the radial position of the blades. The directional component also increases, and the inflow speed from the wake of the rotor blade increases.
 このため、従来技術のように、静翼である静圧回収ベーン107の翼弦長を中央部から外周に向かうにしたがって大きくすると、羽根表面摩擦損失及び後流のウエイク幅の増加による損失が増加してしまうという課題を有していた。 For this reason, when the chord length of the static pressure recovery vane 107, which is a stationary blade, is increased from the central portion toward the outer periphery as in the prior art, the blade surface friction loss and the loss due to the increase in the wake width of the wake increase. It had the problem of end up.
 また、動翼であるプロペラファン105の回転羽根とオリフィスと呼ばれるマウスリング106との間の漏れ流れや、動翼の翼端に発生する翼端渦の影響は、下流の静圧回収ベーン107の前縁にも達する。この影響は、特に静翼の中央部から外周端にかけて大きくなる。このため、従来技術のように、静圧回収ベーン107の外周端の翼弦長が大きいと、流れを阻害する影響が大きくなり、乱れによる損失が増加するだけで、有効に旋回方向成分を静圧として回収できないという課題を有していた。 In addition, the leakage flow between the rotating blades of the propeller fan 105, which is a moving blade, and the mouth ring 106 called an orifice, and the influence of the tip vortex generated at the tip of the moving blade are affected by the downstream static pressure recovery vane 107. Reach the leading edge. This influence is particularly great from the center of the stationary blade to the outer peripheral edge. For this reason, if the chord length at the outer peripheral end of the static pressure recovery vane 107 is large as in the prior art, the effect of hindering the flow increases, and the loss due to turbulence only increases, effectively reducing the swirl direction component. The problem was that it could not be recovered as pressure.
 また、従来の室外ユニットなどに用いられるプロペラファン105などの送風機の回転羽根(動翼)では、静圧回収ベーン107などの固定羽根の取付角や形状によっては、固定羽根の前縁あるいは後縁などに、水平部が存在することになる。このような水平部が存在すると以下のような課題があった。 In addition, in a rotating blade (blade) of a blower such as a propeller fan 105 used in a conventional outdoor unit or the like, the leading edge or the trailing edge of the fixed blade depends on the mounting angle or shape of the stationary blade such as the static pressure recovery vane 107. Etc., there will be a horizontal part. When such a horizontal part exists, there existed the following subjects.
 固定羽根を備えた送風機を、屋外や冷凍倉庫内などに設置した場合、例えば、厳冬期などの氷点下以下の周囲温度となる条件において、送風機やその周辺部材の上部に積もった雪や霜が日射などで解けると、雪解け水として水滴が固定羽根に伝わってくることがある。そして、この水滴が固定羽根の水平部にたまり、水が再氷結して氷柱に成長することがある。氷柱の成長が固定羽根の前縁から風上側に向かった場合、動翼と干渉して、異常音を生じたり、動翼が停止したり破損するという課題を有していた。このような課題は、室外ユニットなどの屋外等に設置される機器に送風機を設けた場合に、特に問題となる。 When a blower equipped with fixed blades is installed outdoors or in a refrigerated warehouse, for example, snow and frost accumulated on the top of the blower and its peripheral members are exposed to sunlight under conditions where the ambient temperature is below the freezing point, such as in severe winter. If it can be melted, etc., water droplets may be transmitted to the fixed blades as snow melting water. And this water droplet may accumulate on the horizontal part of a fixed blade | wing, and water may freeze again and it may grow on an icicle. When the growth of icicles goes from the leading edge of the fixed blade toward the windward side, it interferes with the moving blades, which causes problems such as generating abnormal noise or stopping or breaking the moving blades. Such a problem becomes a problem particularly when a blower is provided in equipment installed outdoors such as an outdoor unit.
 また、従来の室外ユニットなどに用いられるプロペラファン105などの送風機の回転羽根(動翼)で、動翼の下流側に静翼を持つものにおいては、以下の課題を有していた。すなわち、静翼の位置や形状によっては、静翼や吹出グリルを動翼側に向かって強く押すと、静翼の静圧回収ベーン107などの固定羽根が動翼に接触し、動翼や静翼を変形させたり破損させたりする可能性があった。 Further, the rotating blades (moving blades) of a blower such as the propeller fan 105 used in the conventional outdoor unit having the stationary blades on the downstream side of the moving blades have the following problems. That is, depending on the position and shape of the stationary blade, when the stationary blade or the blowing grill is pressed strongly toward the moving blade side, the stationary blade such as the static pressure recovery vane 107 of the stationary blade comes into contact with the moving blade, and the moving blade or the stationary blade Could be deformed or damaged.
 本発明は、空気調和機やヒートポンプ給湯機の室外ユニットなどに用いられる軸流式、あるいは斜流式の送風機において、低騒音化、大風量化のように空力性能を向上させる。また、送風機を搭載した室外ユニットにより省電力化、低騒音化を実現する。 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention improves aerodynamic performance such as low noise and large airflow in an axial flow type or diagonal flow type blower used in an outdoor unit of an air conditioner or heat pump water heater.

Is to prevent. In addition, in an outdoor unit equipped with a blower, it prevents the generation of abnormal noise due to the generation and growth of ice, and the stop and breakage of moving blades.
 また、本発明は、軸流式、あるいは斜流式の送風機で低動翼の下流側に静翼を持つものにおいて、静翼を動翼側に向かって強く押した際に、固定羽根が動翼に接触することを防止するものである。また、送風機を搭載した室外ユニットにおいて、静翼や吹出グリルを動翼側に向かって強く押した際などに、固定羽根が動翼に接触することを防止するものである。 Further, the present invention is an axial flow or mixed flow type blower having a stationary blade on the downstream side of a low moving blade, and when the stationary blade is strongly pushed toward the moving blade side, the fixed blade is moved to the moving blade. It is intended to prevent touching.

 本発明の送風機は、動翼と、静翼とを備え、静翼の固定羽根は、固定羽根の半径方向の中央部より外周側での、中心軸に垂直な面に対する羽根取付角を、中央部より固定ハブ側での羽根取付角より、大きくする。 The blower of the present invention includes a moving blade and a stationary blade, and the stationary blade of the stationary blade has a blade mounting angle with respect to a plane perpendicular to the central axis on the outer peripheral side from the central portion in the radial direction of the stationary blade. Larger than the blade mounting angle on the fixed hub side.
 この構成とすることにより、静翼の固定羽根の中央部より外周側で、静翼の固定羽根の入口での衝突損失を小さく抑えることができ、効率良く旋回方向成分を静圧に回収できる。 With this configuration, the collision loss at the inlet of the stationary blade of the stationary blade can be suppressed to a small value on the outer peripheral side from the center portion of the stationary blade of the stationary blade, and the swirl direction component can be efficiently recovered to the static pressure.
 そのため、本発明の送風機は、空力性能が向上する。また、本発明の送風機を搭載した室外ユニットは、省電力化、低騒音化を実現できる。 Therefore, the aerodynamic performance of the blower of the present invention is improved. Moreover, the outdoor unit equipped with the blower of the present invention can realize power saving and noise reduction.
 また、本発明の送風機は、動翼と、オリフィスと、静翼とを備え、静翼の固定羽根は、固定羽根の吸入側の縁である前縁の外周端の軸方向位置がオリフィスの最小径部と吐出側開口部との間に位置するように設ける。 The blower of the present invention includes a moving blade, an orifice, and a stationary blade. The stationary blade of the stationary blade has an axial position at the outer peripheral end of the leading edge that is an edge on the suction side of the stationary blade. It is provided so as to be positioned between the small diameter portion and the discharge side opening.
 この構成とすることにより、動翼からの旋回方向成分の強い流れが、オリフィスの吐出開口部に向かうにしたがい半径方向に広がる流れに移行する前に、静翼の固定羽根の翼間に流入することで、強制的に軸方向の流れに変換されるため、効率よく静圧に回収できる。 With this configuration, a strong flow of the swirl direction component from the moving blade flows between the stationary blades of the stationary blade before moving to a radially expanding flow toward the discharge opening of the orifice. As a result, the flow is forcibly converted into an axial flow, so that it can be efficiently recovered to a static pressure.
 そのため、本発明の送風機は、空力性能が向上する。また、本発明の送風機を搭載した室外ユニットは、省電力化、低騒音化を実現できる。 Therefore, the aerodynamic performance of the blower of the present invention is improved. Moreover, the outdoor unit equipped with the blower of the present invention can realize power saving and noise reduction.
 また、本発明の送風機は、動翼と、静翼とを備え、静翼は、固定羽根の吸入側の縁である前縁が吹出側の縁である後縁より下方に位置する領域に設けた固定羽根どうしの間隔が、前縁が後縁より上方に位置する領域に設けた固定羽根どうしの間隔より大きいものである。 The blower of the present invention includes a moving blade and a stationary blade, and the stationary blade is provided in a region where the front edge, which is the suction side edge of the fixed blade, is located below the rear edge, which is the blowing side edge. The distance between the fixed blades is larger than the distance between the fixed blades provided in the region where the front edge is located above the rear edge.
 この構成により、水滴が溜まりやすく、氷の発生や成長の起点となる水平部を減らすことができ、氷の発生や成長による異常音の発生や、動翼の停止、破損を生じることなく、効率良く旋回方向成分を静圧に回収できる。 This configuration makes it easy to collect water droplets, reduces the horizontal part that is the starting point of ice generation and growth, and eliminates the occurrence of abnormal noise due to ice generation and growth, and stops and breaks the blades. The swirl direction component can be recovered to static pressure well.
 そのため、本発明の送風機は、氷の発生や成長を防止できる。また、本発明の送風機を搭載した室外ユニットは、氷の発生や成長による異常音の発生や、動翼の停止、破損を生じることがない。 Therefore, the blower of the present invention can prevent the generation and growth of ice. Further, the outdoor unit equipped with the blower of the present invention does not generate abnormal noise due to the generation or growth of ice, or stop or break the moving blade.
 また、本発明の送風機は、動翼と静翼とを備え、静翼は、その外周に回転軸を中心とする円環状の支持枠を備え、支持枠とオリフィスとが固定されたものである。 Further, the blower of the present invention includes a moving blade and a stationary blade, and the stationary blade includes an annular support frame centered on the rotation axis on the outer periphery, and the support frame and the orifice are fixed. .
 この構成により、静翼を動翼側に向かって強く押した際などに、固定羽根が動翼に接触し、動翼や静翼を変形させたり破損させたりすることを防止することができる。 This configuration can prevent the stationary blade from coming into contact with the moving blade when the stationary blade is strongly pushed toward the moving blade side, thereby deforming or damaging the moving blade or the stationary blade.

 図1、図2に示すように、送風機1は、回転軸2に取り付けられた回転ハブ3と、回転ハブ3の周囲に設けられた2枚の回転羽根4を有する動翼5を備えている。動翼5の吐出側(下流側)には、回転ハブ3と同軸上に位置する固定ハブ6と、固定ハブ6の周囲に設けられた13枚の固定羽根7とを有する静翼8が設けられている。また、動翼5の吐出側の外周、および、静翼8の吸入側(上流側)の外周にあたる位置には、動翼5および静翼8と所定の隙間を保ってオリフィス9が設けられている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the blower 1 includes a rotating hub 3 attached to a rotating shaft 2 and a moving blade 5 having two rotating blades 4 provided around the rotating hub 3. . On the discharge side (downstream side) of the moving blade 5, there is provided a stationary blade 8 having a fixed hub 6 coaxially positioned with the rotating hub 3 and 13 fixed blades 7 provided around the fixed hub 6. It has been. Further, an orifice 9 is provided at a position corresponding to the outer periphery on the discharge side of the moving blade 5 and the outer periphery on the suction side (upstream side) of the stationary blade 8 with a predetermined gap from the moving blade 5 and the stationary blade 8. Yes.
 回転軸2は、動翼5の吸入側に設けられ、動翼5を回転駆動するモータ10の駆動軸に連結されている。モータ10とオリフィス9とがともに筐体(図示せず)に支持されることで、動翼5とオリフィス9との相対的な位置が調整され、保持されている。また、固定羽根7は、支持枠11を介して筐体(図示せず)に支持されることで、静翼8とオリフィス9との相対的な位置が調整され、保持されている。支持枠11は、静翼8の外周側に設けられた環状の部材であり、静翼8と一体に形成されている。 The rotary shaft 2 is provided on the suction side of the rotor blade 5 and is connected to a drive shaft of a motor 10 that rotationally drives the rotor blade 5. Since the motor 10 and the orifice 9 are both supported by a housing (not shown), the relative positions of the moving blade 5 and the orifice 9 are adjusted and held. In addition, the fixed blade 7 is supported by a housing (not shown) via the support frame 11 so that the relative positions of the stationary blade 8 and the orifice 9 are adjusted and held. The support frame 11 is an annular member provided on the outer peripheral side of the stationary blade 8 and is formed integrally with the stationary blade 8.
 動翼5の回転ハブ3は、円筒形状、または、吐出側に向かって径が拡大する円錐台形状である。回転ハブ3の軸方向長さは、回転羽根4の半径方向の中央部での子午面高さ(動翼5の回転軸2を含む平面に動翼5の回転羽根4を回転投影した場合の軸方向長さ)h1より短くなるように構成されている。 The rotating hub 3 of the moving blade 5 has a cylindrical shape or a truncated cone shape whose diameter increases toward the discharge side. The axial length of the rotating hub 3 is the height of the meridional plane at the center of the rotating blade 4 in the radial direction (when the rotating blade 4 of the moving blade 5 is rotated and projected onto a plane including the rotating shaft 2 of the moving blade 5). The length in the axial direction is shorter than h1.
 静翼8の固定ハブ6は、円筒形状であり、その外径は回転ハブ3の吐出側の端面での径、つまり、回転ハブ3のうち最大の径と同じ径である。また、固定ハブ6の軸方向長さは回転ハブ3より短い。また、固定ハブ6の軸方向長さは、固定羽根7の子午面高さ(静翼8の中心軸を含む平面に静翼8の固定羽根7を回転投影した場合の軸方向長さ)h2と略同一である。 The stationary hub 6 of the stationary blade 8 has a cylindrical shape, and its outer diameter is the same as the diameter at the discharge-side end face of the rotating hub 3, that is, the largest diameter of the rotating hub 3. The axial length of the fixed hub 6 is shorter than that of the rotating hub 3. The axial length of the fixed hub 6 is the meridian height of the fixed blade 7 (the axial length when the fixed blade 7 of the stationary blade 8 is rotationally projected onto a plane including the central axis of the stationary blade 8) h2. Is almost the same.
 静翼8の外径は、動翼5の外径より大きい。つまり、固定羽根7の半径方向長さは、回転羽根4の半径方向長さより長くなるように構成されている。 The outer diameter of the stationary blade 8 is larger than the outer diameter of the moving blade 5. That is, the radial length of the fixed blade 7 is configured to be longer than the radial length of the rotary blade 4.
 オリフィス9は、最小径部9xを備えている。最小径部9xでは、動翼5の回転羽根4の外周端との隙間が最小となる。なお、図1では、最小径部9xは、一定の径で軸方向に延設された直線部を備えた円筒面で構成しているが、直線部を備えない一定の径の円周として構成していてもよい。オリフィス9は、最小径部9xから吐出側にかけて径が拡大し、吐出側の端部に吐出側開口部9yが形成されている。また、オリフィス9は、最小径部9xから吸入側にかけても径が拡大し、吸入側の端部に吸入側開口部9zが形成されている。 The orifice 9 has a minimum diameter portion 9x. In the minimum diameter portion 9x, the gap between the rotor blade 5 and the outer peripheral end of the rotary blade 4 is minimized. In FIG. 1, the minimum diameter portion 9x is configured as a cylindrical surface having a straight portion extending in the axial direction with a constant diameter, but is configured as a constant diameter circumference without the straight portion. You may do it. The diameter of the orifice 9 increases from the minimum diameter portion 9x to the discharge side, and a discharge side opening 9y is formed at the end on the discharge side. In addition, the diameter of the orifice 9 increases from the minimum diameter portion 9x to the suction side, and a suction side opening 9z is formed at the end on the suction side.
 動翼5は、回転羽根4の吐出側の縁である後縁の外周端が、オリフィス9の最小径部9xと対向するように、軸方向の位置が調整されている。また、動翼5は、回転ハブ3の吐出側の端部が、オリフィス9の最小径部9xと対向するように、または、オリフィス9の最小径部9xと吐出側開口部9yの間に位置するように、軸方向の位置が調整されている。 The moving blade 5 is adjusted in its axial position so that the outer peripheral end of the trailing edge, which is the discharge-side edge of the rotary blade 4, faces the minimum diameter portion 9 x of the orifice 9. The moving blade 5 is positioned such that the discharge side end of the rotary hub 3 faces the minimum diameter portion 9x of the orifice 9, or between the minimum diameter portion 9x of the orifice 9 and the discharge side opening 9y. Thus, the position in the axial direction is adjusted.
 静翼8は、固定羽根7の吸入側の縁である前縁の外周端が、オリフィス9の最小径部9xと吐出側開口部9yの間に位置するように、軸方向の位置が調整されている。また、静翼8は、固定羽根7の前縁側の外周端とオリフィス9との間に所定の隙間Sを形成するように設けられている。静翼8の外径が動翼5の外径より大きく、かつ、オリフィス9が吐出側にむかって径が拡大することによって、隙間Sは、動翼5の回転羽根4の後縁の外周端とオリフィス9の最小径部9xとの隙間と略同一となる。また、静翼8は、固定ハブ6の吸入側の端部が、オリフィス9の最小径部9xと吐出側開口部9yの間に位置するように、軸方向の位置が調整されている。 The stationary blade 8 has its axial position adjusted so that the outer peripheral end of the leading edge, which is the suction side edge of the fixed blade 7, is located between the minimum diameter portion 9 x of the orifice 9 and the discharge side opening 9 y. ing. Further, the stationary blade 8 is provided so as to form a predetermined gap S between the outer peripheral end on the front edge side of the fixed blade 7 and the orifice 9. Since the outer diameter of the stationary blade 8 is larger than the outer diameter of the moving blade 5 and the diameter of the orifice 9 increases toward the discharge side, the clearance S is formed at the outer peripheral end of the trailing edge of the rotating blade 4 of the moving blade 5. And the gap between the minimum diameter portion 9x of the orifice 9 and substantially the same. The stationary blade 8 is adjusted in the axial direction so that the suction side end of the fixed hub 6 is positioned between the minimum diameter portion 9x of the orifice 9 and the discharge side opening 9y.
 ここで、静翼8の固定羽根7の形状について詳しく説明する。 Here, the shape of the stationary blade 7 of the stationary blade 8 will be described in detail.
 図1に示すように、固定羽根7の子午面高さh2は、固定ハブ6側の端である固定ハブ側端7aから外周端7bまで略一定となるように構成されている。また、図2に示すように、動翼5の回転軸2と垂直な面において、固定羽根7の前縁は、外周端7bが固定ハブ側端7aに対して動翼5の回転羽根4の反回転方向に位置するように、半径方向に対して傾斜して設けられている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the meridional height h2 of the fixed vane 7 is configured to be substantially constant from the fixed hub side end 7a, which is the end on the fixed hub 6 side, to the outer peripheral end 7b. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the front edge of the fixed blade 7 on the surface perpendicular to the rotating shaft 2 of the moving blade 5 is such that the outer peripheral end 7b of the rotating blade 4 of the moving blade 5 with respect to the fixed hub side end 7a. It is inclined with respect to the radial direction so as to be positioned in the counter-rotating direction.
 図3Aは、図1の3A-3A断面であり、ハブ側の断面である。図3Bは、図1の3B-3B断面であり、外周側の断面である。図3Cは、図1の3C-3C断面であり、外周端の断面である。図3A~図3Cは、同一半径位置における断面での回転羽根4と固定羽根7の断面形状、および、動翼5から吐出される空気流と固定羽根7の羽根取付角θの関係を示す図である。ここで、羽根取付角θは、回転軸2に垂直な面に対する角度としている。図4は、固定羽根7の半径方向位置と羽根取付角θとの関係を示す図である。 3A is a cross section taken along the line 3A-3A in FIG. 1, and is a cross section on the hub side. 3B is a 3B-3B cross section of FIG. 1, and is a cross section on the outer peripheral side. 3C is a 3C-3C cross section of FIG. 1, and is a cross section of the outer peripheral end. 3A to 3C are diagrams showing the cross-sectional shapes of the rotary blade 4 and the fixed blade 7 at the same radial position, and the relationship between the air flow discharged from the moving blade 5 and the blade mounting angle θ of the fixed blade 7. It is. Here, the blade attachment angle θ is an angle with respect to a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis 2. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the relationship between the radial position of the fixed blade 7 and the blade mounting angle θ.
 図3A~図3Cに示すように、回転羽根4は、動翼5の反回転方向に凸となる円弧状、または、翼状の断面を有しており、回転羽根後縁4aが吐出側に位置するように回転軸2に対して傾斜して、回転ハブ3に固定されている。固定羽根7は、動翼5の回転方向に凸となる円弧状、または、翼状の断面を有しており、前縁7cが吸入側に位置するように、静翼8の中心軸でもある固定ハブ6の中心軸に垂直な面に対して傾斜する羽根取付角θを有して、固定ハブ6に固定されている。ここで、羽根取付角θは、固定羽根7の吸入側の縁である前縁7cと吹出側の縁である後縁7dを結ぶ直線と、固定ハブ6の中心軸に垂直な水平面とが成す角度であり、固定ハブ6の中心軸に垂直な水平面から吸入側、または、動翼5の反回転方向側にいくほど大きくなる角度である。 As shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C, the rotating blade 4 has an arc shape or a blade-shaped cross section that is convex in the counter-rotating direction of the moving blade 5, and the rotating blade trailing edge 4a is located on the discharge side. In this way, it is inclined with respect to the rotating shaft 2 and fixed to the rotating hub 3. The fixed blade 7 has an arc shape or a blade-shaped cross section that is convex in the rotating direction of the moving blade 5, and is a fixed shaft that is also the central axis of the stationary blade 8 so that the leading edge 7 c is located on the suction side. The blade 6 is fixed to the fixed hub 6 with a blade mounting angle θ inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the hub 6. Here, the blade attachment angle θ is formed by a straight line connecting the front edge 7c, which is the suction side edge of the fixed blade 7, and the rear edge 7d, which is the discharge side edge, and a horizontal plane perpendicular to the central axis of the fixed hub 6. The angle is an angle that increases from the horizontal plane perpendicular to the central axis of the fixed hub 6 toward the suction side or the counter-rotation direction side of the rotor blade 5.
 そして、固定羽根7の羽根取付角θは、固定羽根7の半径方向の位置によって異なるように構成されている。 The blade mounting angle θ of the fixed blade 7 is configured to be different depending on the position of the fixed blade 7 in the radial direction.
 図3A、図4に示すように、固定羽根7と固定ハブ6との接する端(固定ハブ側端7a)では、羽根取付角θaは最小となる。そして、固定羽根7の半径方向の外周側にいくにしたがって、羽根取付角θは拡大し、図4に示すように、固定羽根7の中央部7mでは、羽根取付角θmとなる。中央部7mよりさらに外周側にいくにしたがい、羽根取付角θはさらに拡大し、図3B、図4に示すように、中央部7mと固定羽根7の外周端7bとの間で最大(羽根取付角θb)となる。羽根取付角θbとなる位置よりさらに外周側では、羽根取付角θは徐々に小さくなり、図3C、図4に示すように、固定羽根7の外周端7bで羽根取付角θcとなる。羽根取付角θcは、固定ハブ側端7aでの羽根取付角θaより大きく、中央部7mでの羽根取付角θmより小さくなる。 As shown in FIGS. 3A and 4, at the end where the fixed blade 7 and the fixed hub 6 are in contact (fixed hub side end 7a), the blade mounting angle θa is minimized. Then, the blade attachment angle θ increases as it goes to the outer peripheral side of the fixed blade 7 in the radial direction, and becomes a blade attachment angle θm at the central portion 7m of the fixed blade 7, as shown in FIG. As it goes further to the outer peripheral side than the central portion 7m, the blade mounting angle θ is further expanded, and is maximized between the central portion 7m and the outer peripheral end 7b of the fixed blade 7 as shown in FIG. 3B and FIG. Angle θb). The blade mounting angle θ gradually decreases further on the outer peripheral side than the position where the blade mounting angle θb is reached, and reaches the blade mounting angle θc at the outer peripheral end 7b of the fixed blade 7 as shown in FIGS. 3C and 4. The blade attachment angle θc is larger than the blade attachment angle θa at the fixed hub side end 7a and smaller than the blade attachment angle θm at the center portion 7m.
 つまり、中央部7mより外周側での羽根取付角θb、θcは、中央部7mより固定ハブ6側の羽根取付角θabに比べて大きくなる。また、中央部7mより外周側で、羽根取付角θbが最大となる。 That is, the blade mounting angles θb and θc on the outer peripheral side from the central portion 7m are larger than the blade mounting angles θab on the fixed hub 6 side from the central portion 7m. In addition, the blade attachment angle θb is maximized on the outer peripheral side from the central portion 7m.
 そして、固定羽根7の子午面高さは、半径方向の位置によらず略一定であり、固定羽根7の羽根取付角θは、半径方向の位置によって異なることから、固定羽根7は、固定ハブ6と接する固定ハブ側端7aで、最も円弧の曲率が小さくなり、中央部7mと外周端7bとの間で円弧の曲率が最大となる。また、外周端7bでの固定羽根7の円弧の曲率は、固定ハブ側端7aでの円弧の曲率より大きく、中央部7mでの円弧の曲率より小さくなる。また、中央部7mより外周側での円弧の曲率は、中央部7mより固定ハブ6側での円弧の曲率に比べて大きくなる。 The meridional height of the fixed blade 7 is substantially constant regardless of the position in the radial direction, and the blade mounting angle θ of the fixed blade 7 varies depending on the position in the radial direction. The curvature of the arc is the smallest at the fixed hub side end 7a in contact with 6, and the curvature of the arc is maximized between the central portion 7m and the outer peripheral end 7b. Further, the curvature of the arc of the fixed blade 7 at the outer peripheral end 7b is larger than the curvature of the arc at the fixed hub side end 7a and smaller than the curvature of the arc at the central portion 7m. Further, the curvature of the arc on the outer peripheral side from the center portion 7m is larger than the curvature of the arc on the fixed hub 6 side from the center portion 7m.
 次に、静翼8の固定羽根7と支持枠11との接続部の形状について詳しく説明する。図5は、静翼8の固定羽根7と支持枠11との接続部を固定羽根7の後縁7d側からみた要部斜視図である。図5に示すように、固定羽根7の外周端7bには、固定羽根7の後縁7d側のみに固定羽根7を半径方向に延長した板状の延長部12が設けられている。延長部12の一面(固定羽根7において凹となる側の面)は、固定羽根7の円弧の凹側と同じ曲率で形成されている一方、裏面は固定ハブ6の中心軸と平行となる面で形成されている。このため、延長部12の厚みは、延長部後縁12aでは固定羽根7の厚みと同一であるが、延長部前縁12b側にいくほど厚くなるように形成されている。また、延長部12の中心軸方向の長さ(子午断面高さ)は、後述する脚部13の中心軸方向の長さより短くなるように形成されている。また、延長部12の子午断面高さは、半径方向の位置によらず略一定となるように形成されている。 Next, the shape of the connecting portion between the stationary blade 7 of the stationary blade 8 and the support frame 11 will be described in detail. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a principal part of the connecting portion between the stationary blade 7 of the stationary blade 8 and the support frame 11 as viewed from the rear edge 7d side of the stationary blade 7. FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the outer peripheral end 7 b of the fixed blade 7 is provided with a plate-like extension portion 12 that extends the fixed blade 7 in the radial direction only on the rear edge 7 d side of the fixed blade 7. One surface of the extension portion 12 (the surface on the concave side of the fixed blade 7) is formed with the same curvature as the concave side of the arc of the fixed blade 7, while the back surface is parallel to the central axis of the fixed hub 6. It is formed with. For this reason, the thickness of the extension portion 12 is the same as the thickness of the fixed blade 7 at the extension portion trailing edge 12a, but is formed so as to increase toward the extension portion front edge 12b side. Further, the length (the meridional section height) of the extension 12 in the central axis direction is formed to be shorter than the length of the leg 13 described later in the central axis direction. Further, the height of the meridional section of the extension 12 is formed to be substantially constant regardless of the position in the radial direction.
 一方、支持枠11には、吐出側に突出する脚部13が設けられている。脚部13は、両面が固定ハブ6の中心軸と平行となる面で形成された板状の部材であり、脚部13の厚みは、固定羽根7の厚みと同一である。また、脚部13の中心軸方向の長さは、固定羽根7の子午面高さh2より短くなるように形成されている。また、脚部13は、図1に示すように、オリフィス9の吐出側開口部9yより外周側となる半径方向の位置で、固定羽根7を支持するように設けられている。 On the other hand, the support frame 11 is provided with a leg portion 13 protruding to the discharge side. The leg portion 13 is a plate-like member having both surfaces formed in parallel with the central axis of the fixed hub 6, and the thickness of the leg portion 13 is the same as the thickness of the fixed blade 7. Further, the length of the leg portion 13 in the central axis direction is formed to be shorter than the meridian surface height h2 of the fixed blade 7. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the leg portion 13 is provided so as to support the fixed blade 7 at a radial position on the outer peripheral side from the discharge side opening 9 y of the orifice 9.
 そして、延長部12の外周側端部と脚部13の固定ハブ6側端部とを接合させることにより、固定羽根7の前縁7c側は支持枠11との間に所定の隙間Tを形成して、支持枠11に支持される。なお、固定羽根7、延長部12、脚部13、支持枠11は一体に形成されることが、強度を確保する上で望ましい。 Then, a predetermined gap T is formed between the front edge 7 c side of the fixed blade 7 and the support frame 11 by joining the outer peripheral side end portion of the extension portion 12 and the end portion of the leg portion 13 on the fixed hub 6 side. Then, it is supported by the support frame 11. In addition, it is desirable that the fixed blade 7, the extension portion 12, the leg portion 13, and the support frame 11 are integrally formed in order to ensure strength.
 また、図5に示すように、脚部13の吹出側の端部13aは、延長部12の吹出側の延長部後縁12a、固定羽根7の後縁7dと同一面に位置するように接合される。このため、固定羽根7の前縁7cは、支持枠11より吸入側に突出するようになる。また、固定羽根7の後縁7dは、支持枠11より吐出側に突出するようになる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the end portion 13 a on the blowing side of the leg portion 13 is joined so as to be positioned on the same plane as the extending portion rear edge 12 a of the extending portion 12 and the rear edge 7 d of the fixed blade 7. Is done. For this reason, the front edge 7 c of the fixed blade 7 projects from the support frame 11 toward the suction side. Further, the rear edge 7d of the fixed blade 7 protrudes from the support frame 11 to the discharge side.
 なお、図2に示すように、延長部12が固定羽根7と支持枠11との接続する長さ(延長部12の半径方向長さ)は、固定羽根7が取り付けられる位置によって異なっている。重力方向の上下左右に位置する固定羽根7の延長部12は短く、その他に位置する固定羽根7の延長部は長くなっている。この構成とすることにより、静翼8を支持枠11に保持する十分な強度の確保が容易となる。 Note that, as shown in FIG. 2, the length at which the extension 12 connects the fixed blade 7 and the support frame 11 (the length in the radial direction of the extension 12) varies depending on the position where the fixed blade 7 is attached. The extension 12 of the fixed blade 7 located on the top, bottom, left and right in the direction of gravity is short, and the extension of the other fixed blade 7 is long. With this configuration, it is easy to secure sufficient strength to hold the stationary blade 8 on the support frame 11.
 本実施の形態では、静翼8の固定羽根7は、その外周に設けられた回転軸を中心とする円環状の支持枠11を介して、オリフィス9または筐体に固定されている。そのため、静翼8が動翼5の方向に押されるなどした場合であっても、静翼8と動翼5との間の所定の隙間を保つことができ、静翼8の固定羽根7が動翼5の回転羽根4に接触して、動翼5や静翼8が変形したり、破損したりすることを防止できる。 In the present embodiment, the stationary blade 7 of the stationary blade 8 is fixed to the orifice 9 or the casing through an annular support frame 11 centering on a rotation shaft provided on the outer periphery thereof. Therefore, even when the stationary blade 8 is pushed in the direction of the moving blade 5, a predetermined gap between the stationary blade 8 and the moving blade 5 can be maintained, and the stationary blade 7 of the stationary blade 8 It is possible to prevent the moving blade 5 and the stationary blade 8 from being deformed or damaged by coming into contact with the rotating blade 4 of the moving blade 5.
 特に、本実施の形態では、複数の固定羽根7は、延長部12と、延長部12の外周端からオリフィス9の方向に延びる脚部13とを備え、延長部12と脚部13とを介して、オリフィス9または筐体に保持されている。そのため、静翼8が動翼5の方向に押されて変位した場合であっても、延長部12と脚部13とが変位を吸収し、動翼5や静翼8が変形したり、破損したりすることを防止できる。 In particular, in the present embodiment, the plurality of fixed blades 7 include an extension portion 12 and a leg portion 13 extending from the outer peripheral end of the extension portion 12 in the direction of the orifice 9, and the extension portion 12 and the leg portion 13 are interposed therebetween. Are held in the orifice 9 or the housing. Therefore, even when the stationary blade 8 is pushed and displaced in the direction of the moving blade 5, the extension portion 12 and the leg portion 13 absorb the displacement, and the moving blade 5 and the stationary blade 8 are deformed or damaged. Can be prevented.
 以上のように構成された送風機について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。 About the air blower comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.
 まず、モータ10により回転軸2を回転駆動させると、図2に示すように動翼5が反時計方向に回転し、モータ10が配置された側から空気が動翼5に導かれる。その際、複数の回転羽根4と、回転羽根4の周囲に設けられたオリフィス9とにより、空気に動圧と静圧が付加される。 First, when the rotary shaft 2 is driven to rotate by the motor 10, the moving blade 5 rotates counterclockwise as shown in FIG. 2, and air is guided to the moving blade 5 from the side where the motor 10 is disposed. At that time, dynamic pressure and static pressure are applied to the air by the plurality of rotating blades 4 and the orifices 9 provided around the rotating blades 4.
 そして、動翼5から吐出された空気(吐出気流)は、静翼8に導かれる。図3に示すように、静翼8に導かれる空気の流入速度Vは、回転軸2の軸方向に対して角度を有しており、軸方向に流れる軸流方向成分Vaと、動翼5の回転方向に流れる旋回方向成分Vtとを有している。軸流方向成分Vaは風量に関わる速度であるが、旋回方向成分Vtは軸方向に対して直角、すなわち周方向成分であるために、風量には関係せず、単に空気を掻き回すだけであり、軸方向にスムーズに転向させないと損失エネルギとなる。 The air (discharged airflow) discharged from the moving blade 5 is guided to the stationary blade 8. As shown in FIG. 3, the inflow velocity V of air guided to the stationary blade 8 has an angle with respect to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2, and the axial flow direction component Va flowing in the axial direction and the moving blade 5 And a turning direction component Vt flowing in the rotation direction. The axial flow direction component Va is a speed related to the air volume, but the swirl direction component Vt is perpendicular to the axial direction, that is, a circumferential direction component, and thus is not related to the air volume, but merely stirs the air. If it is not smoothly turned in the axial direction, the energy is lost.
 そこで、複数の固定羽根7を有する静翼8により、動翼5の吐出気流の旋回方向成分を小さくし、エネルギ損失となる旋回方向成分(旋回流)を静圧として回収することで、静圧効率を向上させつつ送風作用を成す。 Therefore, by using the stationary blade 8 having a plurality of fixed blades 7, the swirl direction component of the discharge airflow of the moving blade 5 is reduced, and the swirl direction component (swirling flow) that causes energy loss is recovered as a static pressure. The air blowing action is achieved while improving the efficiency.
 ここで、回転羽根4の半径方向の中央部より外周側に主流が集中する動翼5の吐出気流に合わせて、固定羽根7の羽根取付角θは、中央部7mより固定ハブ6側の羽根取付角θaに比べて、中央部7mより外周側の羽根取付角θbを大きくしている。このため、中央部7mより固定ハブ6側の領域に比べて、静翼8の入口での旋回方向成分が大きい中央部7mより外周側の領域で、固定羽根7の入口での衝突損失を小さく抑えて、効率良く旋回速度成分を静圧に回収できる。 Here, the blade mounting angle θ of the fixed blade 7 is a blade on the fixed hub 6 side from the central portion 7m in accordance with the discharge airflow of the moving blade 5 where the main flow is concentrated on the outer peripheral side from the radial center portion of the rotary blade 4. Compared to the mounting angle θa, the blade mounting angle θb on the outer peripheral side of the central portion 7m is made larger. For this reason, the collision loss at the inlet of the fixed blade 7 is smaller in the region on the outer peripheral side than the central portion 7m where the swirl direction component at the inlet of the stationary blade 8 is larger than the region on the fixed hub 6 side from the central portion 7m. In this way, the turning speed component can be efficiently recovered to static pressure.
 また、動翼5を、軸流式、あるいは斜流式とし、動翼5の回転羽根4の吐出側のみをオリフィス9で囲う構成とした場合には、回転羽根4の外周に大きな翼端渦が発生し、動翼5の外周側の吐出気流速度は大きく低下する。特に、翼端渦に影響され、オリフィス9と回転羽根4との隙間から吸込側に逆流する漏れ流れが生じると、吐出気流の軸方向成分の低下が非常に大きくなる。しかし、本実施の形態では、それに合わせて、固定羽根7の中央部7mと外周端7bとの間で羽根取付角θが最大となるようにし、固定羽根7の外周端7bでの羽根取付角θcが、中央部7mでの羽根取付角θmより小さくなるようにしているので、静翼8の固定羽根7の外周端7bにおける固定羽根7の入口での衝突損失を小さく抑えることができる。 Further, when the moving blade 5 is an axial flow type or a mixed flow type and only the discharge side of the rotating blade 4 of the moving blade 5 is surrounded by the orifice 9, a large blade tip vortex is formed on the outer periphery of the rotating blade 4. Occurs, and the discharge air velocity on the outer peripheral side of the rotor blade 5 is greatly reduced. In particular, when a leakage flow that is influenced by the blade tip vortex and flows backward from the gap between the orifice 9 and the rotary blade 4 to the suction side occurs, the axial component of the discharge airflow is greatly reduced. However, in this embodiment, the blade mounting angle θ is maximized between the central portion 7m of the fixed blade 7 and the outer peripheral end 7b, and the blade mounting angle at the outer peripheral end 7b of the fixed blade 7 is adjusted accordingly. Since θc is made smaller than the blade mounting angle θm at the central portion 7m, the collision loss at the inlet of the fixed blade 7 at the outer peripheral end 7b of the fixed blade 7 of the stationary blade 8 can be suppressed to be small.
 このため、固定羽根7の中央部7mから外周側で、効率良く旋回速度成分を静圧に回収できるとともに、動翼5の回転羽根4の漏れ流れや翼端渦の影響を受けやすい固定羽根7の外周端7bでも、効率良く旋回速度成分を静圧に回収できる。 For this reason, while being able to collect | recover efficiently a turning speed component to a static pressure from the center part 7m of the fixed blade | wing 7 to an outer peripheral side, the fixed blade | wing 7 which is easy to receive to the influence of the leakage flow of the rotating blade 4 of a moving blade 5, or a blade tip vortex. Even at the outer peripheral end 7b, the turning speed component can be efficiently recovered to static pressure.
 固定羽根7の固定ハブ側端7aから外周側の羽根取付角θが最大となる部分にかけての領域では、固定羽根7の羽根取付角θ、特に入口角が、動翼5の吐出気流角度に一致するので、固定羽根7の子午面高さh2を高くして翼弦長を長くしなくても、動翼5の吐出気流の旋回速度成分を効率よく静圧に変換できる。 In the region from the fixed hub side end 7a of the fixed blade 7 to the portion where the blade mounting angle θ on the outer peripheral side is the maximum, the blade mounting angle θ of the fixed blade 7, particularly the inlet angle, matches the discharge air flow angle of the moving blade 5. Therefore, the swirl velocity component of the airflow discharged from the moving blade 5 can be efficiently converted to a static pressure without increasing the meridional height h2 of the fixed blade 7 and increasing the chord length.
 また、固定羽根7の外周側ほど翼弦長を伸ばさず抑えることができ、固定羽根7の表面摩擦損失及び後流のウエイク幅の増加による損失の増加を抑えることができる。 Further, the chord length can be suppressed without extending toward the outer peripheral side of the fixed blade 7, and the increase in loss due to the surface friction loss of the fixed blade 7 and the increase in the wake width of the wake can be suppressed.
 また、固定羽根7の外周端7bでの羽根取付角θが、中央部7mから外周側の領域での羽根取付角θより小さいと、動翼5とオリフィス9との間の漏れ流れや、動翼5の翼端に発生する翼端渦により、動翼5の外周端からの吐出気流の角度が大きく変動する影響を受けやすくなる。しかし、本実施の形態では、固定羽根7の子午面高さh2が、固定ハブ側端7aから外周端7bまで略一定となるように設けられていることにより、固定羽根7の外周端7b近傍でも、子午面高さを伸ばさず抑えることができる。このため、静翼8の固定羽根7の外周端7bの翼弦長が大きい場合に影響が大きくなる流れの変動を極力抑え、乱れによる損失が増加を抑えつつ、固定羽根7の外周端7bでの吐出気流の旋回速度成分を、効率よく静圧に回収することができる。 Further, if the blade mounting angle θ at the outer peripheral end 7b of the fixed blade 7 is smaller than the blade mounting angle θ in the region on the outer peripheral side from the central portion 7m, the leakage flow between the moving blade 5 and the orifice 9, Due to the blade tip vortex generated at the blade tip of the blade 5, the angle of the discharge airflow from the outer peripheral end of the moving blade 5 is likely to be greatly affected. However, in the present embodiment, the meridional height h2 of the fixed blade 7 is provided so as to be substantially constant from the fixed hub side end 7a to the outer peripheral end 7b, so that the vicinity of the outer peripheral end 7b of the fixed blade 7 However, it can be suppressed without increasing the meridian height. For this reason, when the chord length of the outer peripheral end 7b of the stationary blade 7 of the stationary blade 8 is large, the fluctuation of the flow that is greatly affected is suppressed as much as possible, and the loss due to the turbulence is suppressed. The swirl velocity component of the discharged airflow can be efficiently recovered to static pressure.
 また、固定羽根7を、動翼5の回転軸2と垂直な平面において、外周側がハブ側に対して、動翼5の反回転方向に傾斜するように設けたことにより、動翼5からの吐出気流が、固定羽根7の半径方向の位置によって異なるタイミングで通過する。このため、固定羽根7を吐出気流が通過する際に発生する騒音をずらすことができ、静翼8を通過する際に発生する騒音の大きさを小さくすることができる。 Further, the fixed blade 7 is provided on the plane perpendicular to the rotating shaft 2 of the moving blade 5 such that the outer peripheral side is inclined in the counter-rotating direction of the moving blade 5 with respect to the hub side. The discharge airflow passes at different timings depending on the radial position of the fixed blade 7. For this reason, the noise generated when the discharge airflow passes through the fixed blade 7 can be shifted, and the noise generated when passing through the stationary blade 8 can be reduced.
 また、動翼5の回転羽根4の外周端とオリフィス9との間の所定の隙間が、最小径部9xから吐出側開口部9yに向かって拡大するとともに、静翼8の固定羽根7の前縁の外周端の軸方向位置を、オリフィス9の最小径部9xと吐出側開口部9yとの間に位置するように設ける。このような構成とすることで、動翼5の外周側から外周端にかかる領域での旋回方向成分の大きい吐出気流を、吐出側開口部9yに向かうにしたがって半径方向に広がる流れ(半径方向成分を有する流れ)に移行する前に、固定羽根7の翼間に流入させることができる。このため、旋回方向成分の大きい吐出気流を、強制的に軸方向成分に変換でき、効率的に静圧として回収できる。 In addition, a predetermined gap between the outer peripheral end of the rotating blade 4 of the moving blade 5 and the orifice 9 expands from the minimum diameter portion 9x toward the discharge side opening 9y, and in front of the fixed blade 7 of the stationary blade 8. The axial position of the outer peripheral edge of the edge is provided so as to be positioned between the minimum diameter portion 9x of the orifice 9 and the discharge side opening 9y. With such a configuration, a discharge airflow having a large swirl direction component in a region extending from the outer peripheral side to the outer peripheral end of the moving blade 5 flows in a radial direction toward the discharge-side opening 9y (radial component) Before the transition to the flow). For this reason, a discharge air current with a large swirl direction component can be forcibly converted into an axial direction component, and can be efficiently recovered as a static pressure.
 また、静翼8の固定羽根7の外周端7b近傍の旋回方向成分の強い流れをすべて強制的に軸方向成分に変換しようとすると、固定羽根7の外周端7b付近の後縁7d側の流れと静翼8の外周側からの流れとの間に縮流が起き、固定羽根7の外周端7b付近の後縁7d側で、静圧に変換されない流れが発生する。しかし、本実施の形態では、静翼8の固定羽根7の前縁7c側の外周端とオリフィス9との間に所定の隙間Sを設けているので、前縁7cの圧力面側から負圧面側に意図的に僅かに漏れ流れを発生させることができる。これによって、外周端7bの後縁7d側で縮流が生じにくくなり、効率的に静圧として回収できる。また、隙間Sでの圧力面側から負圧側への僅かな漏れ流れは、オリフィス9の吐出側の拡大する吐出側開口部9yに沿ってスムーズに減速させることができるので、流動損失が増加することもない。 Further, when all the strong flow of the swirl direction component in the vicinity of the outer peripheral end 7b of the stationary blade 7 of the stationary blade 8 is forced to be converted into the axial component, the flow on the trailing edge 7d side in the vicinity of the outer peripheral end 7b of the fixed blade 7 And a flow from the outer peripheral side of the stationary blade 8 occurs, and a flow that is not converted into static pressure is generated on the rear edge 7d side near the outer peripheral end 7b of the fixed blade 7. However, in this embodiment, since the predetermined gap S is provided between the outer peripheral end of the stationary blade 7 on the front edge 7c side of the stationary blade 7 and the orifice 9, the suction surface from the pressure surface side of the front edge 7c. A slight leakage flow can be intentionally generated on the side. As a result, the contracted flow is less likely to occur on the rear edge 7d side of the outer peripheral end 7b and can be efficiently recovered as a static pressure. Further, the slight leakage flow from the pressure surface side to the negative pressure side in the gap S can be smoothly decelerated along the expanding discharge side opening 9y on the discharge side of the orifice 9, so that the flow loss increases. There is nothing.
 また、回転羽根4の外周端付近に発生する翼端渦が下流側に流れて、固定羽根7の外周側から延長部12に衝突する際に乱れが生じる。しかし、本実施の形態では、静翼8は、固定羽根7の外周端7bの後縁7d側のみが延長された延長部12によって支持枠11に固定されており、固定羽根7の前縁7c側は支持枠11に固定されていない。つまり、延長部12を固定羽根7の後縁側に位置させている。このため、固定羽根7の前縁7c側では延長部12での気流の乱れを小さくできる。 Further, a turbulent tip vortex generated in the vicinity of the outer peripheral end of the rotary blade 4 flows downstream, and is disturbed when it collides with the extension portion 12 from the outer peripheral side of the fixed blade 7. However, in the present embodiment, the stationary blade 8 is fixed to the support frame 11 by the extended portion 12 in which only the rear edge 7 d side of the outer peripheral end 7 b of the fixed blade 7 is extended, and the front edge 7 c of the fixed blade 7. The side is not fixed to the support frame 11. That is, the extension portion 12 is positioned on the rear edge side of the fixed blade 7. For this reason, the turbulence of the airflow in the extension part 12 can be reduced on the front edge 7 c side of the fixed blade 7.
 また、上述したオリフィス9との固定羽根7の作用と同様に、静翼8の固定羽根7の前縁7c側の外周端と支持枠11との間に所定の隙間Tを設けているので、前縁の圧力面側から負圧面側に意図的に僅かに漏れ流れを発生させることができる。これによって、外周端7bの後縁7d側で縮流が生じにくくなり、効率的に静圧として回収できる。また、隙間Tでの圧力面側から負圧側への僅かな漏れ流れは、オリフィス9の吐出側の拡大する吐出側開口部9yに沿ってスムーズに減速させることができるので、流動損失が増加することもない。 In addition, since the fixed blade 7 acts on the orifice 9 as described above, a predetermined gap T is provided between the outer peripheral end of the stationary blade 7 on the front edge 7c side of the fixed blade 7 and the support frame 11. A slight leakage flow can be intentionally generated from the pressure surface side to the suction surface side of the leading edge. As a result, the contracted flow is less likely to occur on the rear edge 7d side of the outer peripheral end 7b and can be efficiently recovered as a static pressure. Further, the slight leakage flow from the pressure surface side to the negative pressure side in the gap T can be smoothly decelerated along the expanding discharge side opening 9y on the discharge side of the orifice 9, so that the flow loss increases. There is nothing.
 また、延長部12の一面は、図5に示したように、固定羽根7の円弧の凹部と同じ曲率で形成されているため、固定羽根7の後縁7d側での流れを極力乱すことがなく、効率良く静圧を回収できる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 5, one surface of the extension 12 is formed with the same curvature as the arc recess of the fixed blade 7, so that the flow on the rear edge 7 d side of the fixed blade 7 can be disturbed as much as possible. The static pressure can be recovered efficiently.
 以上のように、本実施の形態では、静翼8を、オリフィス9を保持する筐体に、支持することによる流れの損失を小さくできるので、静翼8での静圧回収の効率低下を極力抑えることができる。 As described above, in the present embodiment, the loss of flow caused by supporting the stationary blade 8 on the casing that holds the orifice 9 can be reduced, so that the efficiency of static pressure recovery in the stationary blade 8 can be reduced as much as possible. Can be suppressed.
 また、延長部12の厚みは、延長部後縁12a側では固定羽根7の厚みと同一で、前縁側にいくほど厚くなっているので、延長部12の延長部前縁12b側で気流方向が大きく変動する流れの方向に合わせることが可能となり、延長部12の下流側にできる剥離による流動損失抑え、固定羽根7を保持するのに必要な強度も確保できる。 Further, the thickness of the extension 12 is the same as the thickness of the fixed blade 7 on the extension trailing edge 12a side and becomes thicker toward the front edge, so that the direction of the air flow is on the extension leading edge 12b side of the extension 12. It becomes possible to match the direction of the flow that fluctuates greatly, and it is possible to suppress the flow loss due to the separation that occurs on the downstream side of the extension portion 12 and to secure the strength necessary to hold the fixed blade 7.
 また、固定羽根7は、オリフィス9の吐出側開口部9yより外周側となる半径方向の位置で支持されているため、脚部13をオリフィス9の吐出側開口部9yに沿って流れる気流の外側に設けることでき、オリフィス9の吐出側の抵抗を低減できる。 Further, since the fixed blade 7 is supported at a radial position on the outer peripheral side of the discharge side opening 9 y of the orifice 9, the fixed blade 7 is outside the airflow flowing along the leg 13 along the discharge side opening 9 y of the orifice 9. The resistance on the discharge side of the orifice 9 can be reduced.
 また、固定羽根7は、固定羽根7の後端が支持枠11より吹出側に突出するように、支持されているため、脚部13をオリフィス9の吐出側開口部9yに沿って流れる気流の外側に設けることでき、オリフィス9の吐出側の抵抗を低減できる。 Further, since the fixed blade 7 is supported so that the rear end of the fixed blade 7 protrudes to the blow-out side from the support frame 11, the airflow flowing through the leg portion 13 along the discharge side opening 9 y of the orifice 9 is supported. The resistance on the discharge side of the orifice 9 can be reduced.
 以下、上記の送風機が搭載された室外ユニットについて説明する。図6は、本実施の形態の送風機を搭載した室外ユニットの横断面図である。 Hereinafter, the outdoor unit on which the above blower is mounted will be described. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of an outdoor unit equipped with the blower of the present embodiment.
 図6に示すように、室外ユニットは、外殻を構成する筐体21に、圧縮機22、室外熱交換器23などを備えている。モータ10が、筐体21の底部に固定された柱上のモータ固定具24を介して、筐体21に固定されることで、送風機1は、オリフィス9の吐出側開口部9yが筐体21の正面部21aに一致するように、筐体21に固定されている。さらに、支持枠11は、筐体21の正面部21aに固定されることで、送風機1は、筐体21に固定されている。 As shown in FIG. 6, the outdoor unit includes a compressor 22, an outdoor heat exchanger 23, and the like in a casing 21 that forms an outer shell. The motor 10 is fixed to the housing 21 via a motor fixing tool 24 on a pillar fixed to the bottom of the housing 21, so that the blower 1 has the discharge side opening 9 y of the orifice 9 in the housing 21. It is being fixed to the housing | casing 21 so that it may correspond to the front part 21a. Further, the support frame 11 is fixed to the front portion 21 a of the casing 21, so that the blower 1 is fixed to the casing 21.
 さらに、筐体21の正面部21aには、正面部21aから前面(吐出側)に突出する静翼8を覆うように、吹出グリル25が設けられている。吹出グリル25は、支持枠11よりさらに外周側となる位置で支持されている。また、吹出グリル25は、筐体21に保持されていても、支持枠11に保持されていてもよい。 Furthermore, a blowing grill 25 is provided on the front portion 21a of the casing 21 so as to cover the stationary blade 8 protruding from the front portion 21a to the front surface (discharge side). The blow-out grill 25 is supported at a position on the outer peripheral side further than the support frame 11. Further, the blowout grill 25 may be held by the housing 21 or the support frame 11.
 このような室外ユニットは、室内熱交換器を備えた空気調和機の室内ユニットや、ヒートポンプ式給湯機のユニットと接続されることで、冷凍サイクルを構成する。そして、室外ユニットの周囲の空気を、送風機1により室外熱交換器23に送風することで、圧縮機22の動作により室外熱交換器23の伝熱管内を流動する冷媒と熱交換させる。 Such an outdoor unit constitutes a refrigeration cycle by being connected to an indoor unit of an air conditioner equipped with an indoor heat exchanger or a unit of a heat pump water heater. Then, the air around the outdoor unit is blown to the outdoor heat exchanger 23 by the blower 1, so that heat exchange is performed with the refrigerant flowing in the heat transfer pipe of the outdoor heat exchanger 23 by the operation of the compressor 22.
 以上のように構成された室外ユニットでは、静翼8の固定羽根7と吹出グリル25とが直接、固定されることなく、それぞれが筐体21に固定されているので、落下や正面からの人為的な圧力によって吹出グリル25に、外力がかかったとしても、その外力は筐体21の正面部21aの変形によって、ある程度吸収されるために、静翼8が変形したり、静翼8の固定羽根7とオリフィス9との位置関係がずれたりすることがない。このため、吹出グリル25の強度を増加させる必要がなく、安価に室外ユニットを構成できる。 In the outdoor unit configured as described above, the stationary blade 7 and the blowout grill 25 of the stationary blade 8 are not directly fixed, but are fixed to the casing 21. Even if an external force is applied to the blowing grill 25 due to a certain pressure, the external force is absorbed to some extent by the deformation of the front portion 21a of the casing 21, so that the stationary blade 8 is deformed or the stationary blade 8 is fixed. The positional relationship between the blade 7 and the orifice 9 does not shift. For this reason, it is not necessary to increase the strength of the blowing grill 25, and the outdoor unit can be configured at low cost.
 また、静翼8の固定羽根7と吹出グリル25とを別体で構成することができるので、固定羽根7を成型する際の成型精度を向上させることができ、安価に静圧を効率よく回収できる静翼8を製造することができる。例えば、固定羽根7と吹出グリル25とを一体成形とした際には、固定羽根7と吹出グリル25とが交差する位置に、アンダーカット解消用のヒレを設ける必要がある。 Moreover, since the stationary blade 7 and the blowing grill 25 of the stationary blade 8 can be configured separately, the molding accuracy when the stationary blade 7 is molded can be improved, and the static pressure can be efficiently recovered at a low cost. A possible stationary blade 8 can be manufactured. For example, when the fixed blade 7 and the blowing grill 25 are integrally formed, it is necessary to provide a fin for eliminating the undercut at a position where the fixed blade 7 and the blowing grill 25 intersect.
 ここで、アンダーカットとは、成形加工において、金型から成形品を取り出す(離型する)際に、型を開く方向のみでは離型できない形状のことであり、これを解消するためのヒレを設けないと上下方向のみに開く金型では製造することはできず、横方向にスライドするスライドコア(サイドコア)を設ける必要であり、金型費用が高額となり、製作費用が高くなる形状である。 Here, undercut refers to a shape that cannot be released only in the direction of opening the mold when the molded product is taken out (released) from the mold in the molding process. If it is not provided, it cannot be manufactured with a mold that opens only in the vertical direction, and it is necessary to provide a slide core (side core) that slides in the horizontal direction, which increases the cost of the mold and increases the manufacturing cost.
 しかし、本実施の形態では、このようなアンダーカット解消用のヒレを設ける必要がなくなるため、固定羽根7にヒレを設けることによって、静翼8が静圧を回収する際の性能劣化を抑えることができる。 However, in the present embodiment, it is not necessary to provide a fin for eliminating such an undercut. Therefore, by providing a fin on the fixed blade 7, performance degradation when the stationary blade 8 collects static pressure is suppressed. Can do.
 なお、本実施の形態の送風機を搭載した室外ユニットは、図6のような正面吹出し形式の室外ユニットでなくてもよく、上面吹出し形式の室外ユニットであってもよい。 Note that the outdoor unit on which the blower of the present embodiment is mounted may not be a front blowing type outdoor unit as shown in FIG. 6, but may be a top blowing type outdoor unit.
 図7は、本実施の形態における送風機を搭載した上面吹出し形式の室外ユニットの縦断面図である。図7の室外ユニットが、図6で説明した室外ユニットと異なる点は、送風機1の空気を吹出す方向が、筐体21の上面部21bから吹出す方向となるのみで、他は図6で説明した正面吹出し形式の場合と同様の構成、作用となるので説明は省略する。 FIG. 7 is a longitudinal sectional view of an outdoor unit of a top blowing type equipped with a blower according to the present embodiment. The outdoor unit in FIG. 7 is different from the outdoor unit described in FIG. 6 in that the direction of blowing air from the blower 1 is only the direction of blowing out from the upper surface portion 21b of the casing 21. Since it becomes the structure and effect | action similar to the case of the front blowing type demonstrated, description is abbreviate | omitted.
 また、本実施の形態では、静翼8の固定羽根7は、支持枠11を介して、オリフィス9または筐体に固定されている。そのため、吹出グリル25や静翼8が動翼5の方向に押されるなどした場合であっても、吹出グリル25や静翼8と動翼5との間の所定の隙間を保つことができ、静翼8の固定羽根7が動翼5に接触して、動翼5や静翼8が変形したり、破損したりすることを防止できる。 Further, in the present embodiment, the stationary blade 7 of the stationary blade 8 is fixed to the orifice 9 or the housing via the support frame 11. Therefore, even when the blowing grill 25 or the stationary blade 8 is pushed in the direction of the moving blade 5, a predetermined gap between the blowing grill 25 or the stationary blade 8 and the moving blade 5 can be maintained. It is possible to prevent the stationary blade 7 of the stationary blade 8 from coming into contact with the moving blade 5 to deform or break the moving blade 5 or the stationary blade 8.
 (第2の実施の形態)
 図8は、本発明の第2の実施の形態における他の送風機の子午断面図である。図9は本発明の第2の実施の形態における他の送風機の吐出側からみた正面図である。なお、本実施の形態において、本発明の第1の実施の形態と同じ構成要素については同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。
(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 8 is a meridional sectional view of another blower according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9 is a front view as seen from the discharge side of another blower according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment of the present invention are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.
 以下、本実施の形態と、本発明の第1の実施の形態とで異なる点のみを説明する。 Hereinafter, only differences between the present embodiment and the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
 図8に示すように、本実施の形態では、延長部12の延長部前縁12b側は図6に示す正面部21aと略平行である一方、延長部後縁12a側は、固定羽根17の外周側にいくにしたがって、正面部21a側に近づくように傾斜している。このため、延長部12の子午断面高さは、固定羽根17の外周側に向かって短くなるように形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 8, in the present embodiment, the extension part front edge 12 b side of the extension part 12 is substantially parallel to the front part 21 a shown in FIG. 6, while the extension part rear edge 12 a side is the side of the fixed blade 17. As it goes to the outer peripheral side, it is inclined so as to approach the front portion 21a side. For this reason, the meridional section height of the extension portion 12 is formed so as to become shorter toward the outer peripheral side of the fixed blade 17.
 回転羽根4の外周端付近に発生する翼端渦が下流側に流れて、固定羽根17の外周側から延長部12に衝突する際に乱れるが、本実施の形態では、延長部12の子午断面高さを外周側ほど低くすることで、延長部12での流れの乱れを小さく抑え、流動抵抗を低減できる。 A blade tip vortex generated in the vicinity of the outer peripheral end of the rotary blade 4 flows downstream, and is disturbed when it collides with the extension 12 from the outer periphery of the fixed blade 17. In this embodiment, the meridional section of the extension 12 is used. By lowering the height toward the outer peripheral side, the turbulence of the flow in the extension portion 12 can be kept small, and the flow resistance can be reduced.
 また、図9に示すように、本実施の形態では、複数の固定羽根17のうち一部の固定羽根のみに延長部12を設けている。固定羽根17の全枚数が13枚であるのに対し、延長部12を設けた固定羽根17xは5枚である。そして、重力方向の上部では、延長部12を設けた固定羽根17xの隣に、延長部12を設けていない固定羽根17yを2枚配置し、下部では、延長部12を設けた固定羽根17xの隣に、延長部12を設けていない固定羽根17yを1枚配置している。つまり、延長部12を設けた2つの固定羽根17xの間に設けられた延長部12を設けていない固定羽根17yの枚数を、図6に示した筐体21の上部より下部の方が少なくしたものである。 Further, as shown in FIG. 9, in this embodiment, the extension portion 12 is provided only on some of the fixed blades 17. The total number of fixed blades 17 is 13, while the number of fixed blades 17x provided with the extension 12 is five. In the upper part of the gravity direction, two fixed blades 17y not provided with the extension 12 are arranged next to the fixed blade 17x provided with the extension 12, and in the lower part of the fixed blade 17x provided with the extension 12. Next, one fixed blade 17y not provided with the extension 12 is disposed. That is, the number of the fixed blades 17y provided between the two fixed blades 17x provided with the extension portion 12 and not provided with the extension portion 12 is smaller in the lower portion than the upper portion of the housing 21 shown in FIG. Is.
 本実施の形態では、複数の固定羽根17の少なくとも一部は、延長部12と、延長部12の外周端からオリフィス9の方向に延びる脚部13とを備え、延長部12と脚部13とを介して、オリフィス9または筐体に保持されている。そのため、静翼8が動翼5の方向に押されて変位した場合であっても、延長部12と脚部13とが変位を吸収し、動翼5や静翼8が変形したり、破損したりすることを防止できる。そして、延長部12は、すべての固定羽根17ではなく、一部の固定羽根17にのみに設けられているため、延長部12を設けたことによる流れの損失は固定羽根17の全体ではなく、一部にとどまるため、固定ハブ16と固定羽根17を有する静翼18での効率向上を阻害しない。 In the present embodiment, at least a part of the plurality of fixed blades 17 includes an extension portion 12 and a leg portion 13 extending from the outer peripheral end of the extension portion 12 in the direction of the orifice 9. Is held by the orifice 9 or the casing. Therefore, even when the stationary blade 8 is pushed and displaced in the direction of the moving blade 5, the extension portion 12 and the leg portion 13 absorb the displacement, and the moving blade 5 and the stationary blade 8 are deformed or damaged. Can be prevented. And since the extension part 12 is provided only in some fixed blades 17 instead of all the fixed blades 17, the loss of the flow by providing the extension part 12 is not the whole fixed blades 17, Since it remains in a part, the efficiency improvement in the stationary blade 18 having the fixed hub 16 and the fixed blade 17 is not hindered.
 さらに、重力方向の下部に、重点的に、延長部12が設けられた固定羽根17xを配置することで、静翼18を支持枠11に保持する十分な強度が確保できる。 Furthermore, by placing the fixed blade 17x provided with the extension 12 in the lower part in the gravity direction, a sufficient strength for holding the stationary blade 18 on the support frame 11 can be secured.
 以上のように、本実施の形態の送風機は、空力性能の向上と、高効率化の両立を可能としながら、静翼を動翼側に向かって強く押した際などに、固定羽根が動翼に接触し、動翼や静翼を変形させたり破損させたりすることを防止できる。また、本実施の形態の送風機を搭載した室外ユニットは、省電力化、低騒音化を実現しながら、吹出グリルを動翼側に向かって強く押した際などに、固定羽根が動翼に接触し、動翼や静翼を変形させたり破損させたりすることを防止できる。 As described above, the blower according to the present embodiment has a fixed blade as a moving blade when the stationary blade is strongly pressed toward the moving blade side, while achieving both improved aerodynamic performance and higher efficiency. It is possible to prevent the moving blades and the stationary blades from being deformed or damaged. In addition, the outdoor unit equipped with the blower of this embodiment achieves power saving and low noise, while the stationary blade comes into contact with the moving blade when the blowing grill is pushed strongly toward the moving blade side. It is possible to prevent the moving blade and the stationary blade from being deformed or damaged.
 (第3の実施の形態)
 以下、本発明の第3の実施の形態における送風機について、図面を参照しながら説明する。なお、この実施の形態によってこの発明が限定されるものではない。
(Third embodiment)
Hereinafter, a blower according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments.
 本実施の形態の説明については、本発明の第1の実施の形態あるいは本発明の第2の実施の形態と同じ構成要素については同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。 In the description of the present embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment of the present invention or the second embodiment of the present invention are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.
 以下、本実施の形態と、本発明の第1の実施の形態および本発明の第2の実施の形態とで異なる点のみを説明する。 Hereinafter, only differences between the present embodiment and the first embodiment of the present invention and the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
 図10に示すように、固定羽根7の前縁7cが固定羽根7の後縁7dより上流側となるように構成されている。このため、送風機1を吐出側から見た場合には、固定ハブ6より右側の領域では、固定羽根7の前縁7cが後縁7dより上方に位置することとなり、固定ハブ6より左側の領域では、固定羽根7の前縁7cが後縁7dより下方に位置することとなる。つまり、固定ハブ6より右側の領域では、固定羽根7は風上側から風下側に向かって下り傾斜となり、固定ハブ6より左側の領域では、固定羽根7は風上側から風下側に向かって上り傾斜となる。 As shown in FIG. 10, the front edge 7 c of the fixed blade 7 is configured to be upstream of the rear edge 7 d of the fixed blade 7. For this reason, when the blower 1 is viewed from the discharge side, the front edge 7c of the fixed blade 7 is located above the rear edge 7d in the region on the right side of the fixed hub 6, and the region on the left side of the fixed hub 6 Then, the front edge 7c of the fixed blade 7 is positioned below the rear edge 7d. That is, in the region on the right side of the fixed hub 6, the fixed blade 7 is inclined downward from the windward side toward the leeward side, and in the region on the left side of the fixed hub 6, the fixed blade 7 is inclined upward from the windward side to the leeward side. It becomes.
 また、図1に示した回転軸2より略下側の領域では、固定羽根7前縁7cまたは後縁7dの外周端7bが、同じ固定羽根7の固定ハブ側端7aより下方に位置することとなる。なお、後述するように、固定羽根7の外周端7bは、固定ハブ側端7aより動翼5の反回転方向に位置する(オフセットする)ように設けられている。このため、固定羽根7の前縁7cまたは後縁7dの外周端7bが、同じ固定羽根7の固定ハブ側端7aより下方に位置する領域は、回転軸2の高さに外周端7bをオフセットさせた距離を加えた高さより下側となる。 In the region substantially below the rotary shaft 2 shown in FIG. 1, the outer peripheral end 7 b of the fixed blade 7 front edge 7 c or rear edge 7 d is positioned below the fixed hub side end 7 a of the same fixed blade 7. It becomes. As will be described later, the outer peripheral end 7b of the fixed blade 7 is provided so as to be positioned (offset) in the counter-rotating direction of the moving blade 5 from the fixed hub side end 7a. Therefore, the region where the outer peripheral end 7b of the front edge 7c or the rear edge 7d of the fixed blade 7 is located below the fixed hub side end 7a of the same fixed blade 7 is offset from the outer peripheral end 7b to the height of the rotary shaft 2. It is below the height of the added distance.
 図10に示すように、11枚の固定羽根7は、すべて同じ形状で構成されている。しかし、動翼5の回転方向が時計回りとなる方向から見て固定ハブ6より左側の領域では、固定羽根7どうしの間隔(ピッチ)が、固定ハブ6より右側の領域より大きくなっている。 As shown in FIG. 10, the eleven fixed blades 7 are all configured in the same shape. However, in the region on the left side of the fixed hub 6 as viewed from the direction in which the rotating direction of the rotor blade 5 is clockwise, the interval (pitch) between the fixed blades 7 is larger than the region on the right side of the fixed hub 6.
 より詳細には、動翼5の回転方向が時計回りとなる方向から見て固定ハブ6より左側で上下方向の中央にあたる領域(図10中の破線で囲った領域X1)では、固定羽根7どうしの間隔(ピッチ)が大きく、その他の領域では、等しい間隔(等ピッチ)となるように、11枚の固定羽根7を備えている。 More specifically, in a region (region X1 surrounded by a broken line in FIG. 10) on the left side of the fixed hub 6 and the center in the vertical direction when viewed from the direction in which the rotating direction of the moving blades 5 is clockwise, the fixed blades 7 are connected to each other. 11 is provided with eleven fixed blades 7 so that the interval (pitch) is large, and the other intervals are equal (equal pitch).
 領域X1に近接する固定羽根7のピッチは、その他の領域での固定羽根7のピッチの3倍となっている。つまり、仮に、領域X1以外の領域に設けられた固定羽根7と等ピッチで、領域X1に固定羽根7を配置すると、領域X1には2枚の固定羽根7が配置されることとなる。 The pitch of the fixed blades 7 close to the region X1 is three times the pitch of the fixed blades 7 in other regions. That is, if the fixed blades 7 are disposed in the region X1 at the same pitch as the fixed blades 7 provided in the region other than the region X1, two fixed blades 7 are disposed in the region X1.
 固定羽根7の吸入側の縁である前縁7cは、固定ハブ6側の端である固定ハブ側端7aから外周側の端である外周端7bまでが直線状に構成されている。また、固定羽根7の吐出側の縁である後縁7dは、固定ハブ側端7aから外周端7bまでが曲線状に構成されている。そして、後縁7dは、前縁7cの方向に中央部7mにおいて凹むような曲線状となっている。 The front edge 7c, which is the edge on the suction side of the fixed blade 7, is linearly formed from the fixed hub side end 7a which is the end on the fixed hub 6 side to the outer peripheral end 7b which is the end on the outer peripheral side. Further, the rear edge 7d, which is the edge on the discharge side of the fixed blade 7, is configured in a curved shape from the fixed hub side end 7a to the outer peripheral end 7b. The rear edge 7d has a curved shape that is recessed in the central portion 7m in the direction of the front edge 7c.
 固定ハブ6と固定羽根7を有する図1に示す静翼8は、複数の固定羽根7のうち、前縁7cが後縁7dより下方にあり、外周端7bの少なくとも一部が固定ハブ側端7aより下方にある領域(図2中の破線で囲った領域X2)に位置することとなる固定羽根7は、固定羽根7の外周端7bが同じ固定羽根7の中央部7mより下方に設けられている。 The stationary blade 8 shown in FIG. 1 having the fixed hub 6 and the fixed blade 7 has a front edge 7c below the rear edge 7d among the plurality of fixed blades 7, and at least a part of the outer peripheral end 7b is a fixed hub side end. The fixed blade 7 to be located in a region below the region 7a (region X2 surrounded by a broken line in FIG. 2) is provided with an outer peripheral end 7b of the fixed blade 7 below the central portion 7m of the same fixed blade 7. ing.
 つまり、複数の固定羽根7のうち、前縁7cが後縁7dより下方にあり、外周端7bの少なくとも一部が固定ハブ側端7aより下方にある領域(図2の領域X2)に位置することとなる固定羽根7は、前縁7cまたは後縁7dに地面に対して水平となる部分(水平部)を備えていない。 That is, among the plurality of fixed blades 7, the front edge 7c is located below the rear edge 7d, and at least a part of the outer peripheral end 7b is located in a region (region X2 in FIG. 2) located below the fixed hub side end 7a. The fixed blade 7 to be provided does not include a portion (horizontal portion) that is horizontal to the ground at the front edge 7c or the rear edge 7d.
 また、以上を換言すると、静翼8は、仮に、領域X1以外の領域に設けられた固定羽根7と等ピッチで、領域X1に固定羽根7を配置すると、固定羽根7の中央部7mの少なくとも一部が同じ固定羽根7の外周端7bより下方に位置することになる固定羽根7を除いた状態となるように構成されている。 In other words, if the stationary blade 8 is disposed in the region X1 at the same pitch as the stationary blade 7 provided in a region other than the region X1, the stationary blade 8 is at least of the central portion 7m of the stationary blade 7. A part of the fixed blade 7 is configured to be in a state excluding the fixed blade 7 which is positioned below the outer peripheral end 7b.
 なお、図10に示すように、延長部12が固定羽根7と支持枠11との接続する長さ(延長部12の半径方向長さ)は、固定羽根7が取り付けられる位置によって異なっている。重力方向の上下左右に位置する固定羽根7の延長部12は短く、その他に位置する固定羽根7の延長部は長くなっている。これによれば、静翼8を支持枠11に保持する十分な強度の確保が容易となる。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, the length (the radial direction length of the extension part 12) which the extension part 12 connects with the fixed blade | wing 7 and the support frame 11 changes with positions where the fixed blade | wing 7 is attached. The extension 12 of the fixed blade 7 located on the top, bottom, left and right in the direction of gravity is short, and the extension of the other fixed blade 7 is long. According to this, it becomes easy to ensure sufficient strength to hold the stationary blade 8 on the support frame 11.
 このように本実施の形態における送風機、静翼8は、固定羽根7の前縁7cが後縁7dより下方に位置する領域(図10において固定ハブ6より左側の領域)での固定羽根7のピッチが、固定羽根7の前縁7cが後縁7dより上方に位置する領域(図10において固定ハブ6より右側の領域)での固定羽根7のピッチより大きくなっている。 As described above, the blower and the stationary blade 8 in the present embodiment are configured so that the fixed blade 7 has a fixed blade 7 in a region where the front edge 7c of the fixed blade 7 is positioned below the rear edge 7d (region on the left side of the fixed hub 6 in FIG. 10). The pitch is larger than the pitch of the fixed blade 7 in the region where the front edge 7c of the fixed blade 7 is located above the rear edge 7d (the region on the right side of the fixed hub 6 in FIG. 10).
 このため、動翼5の方向に水が流れるように固定羽根7が設けられる領域で、固定羽根7が水平となる部分が生じることを低減できる。これにより、送風機1やその周辺部材の上部に積もった雪などが解けて、固定羽根7の水平部にたまった水が氷柱として動翼5側に成長することを防止できる。このため、氷柱が動翼と干渉して、異常音を生じたり、動翼が停止したり破損するということがない。 For this reason, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of a portion where the fixed blade 7 is horizontal in the region where the fixed blade 7 is provided so that water flows in the direction of the moving blade 5. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the snow accumulated on the upper part of the blower 1 and its peripheral members from being melted and the water accumulated in the horizontal part of the fixed blade 7 from growing on the moving blade 5 side as an ice column. For this reason, the ice column does not interfere with the moving blade to generate abnormal noise, and the moving blade does not stop or break.
 さらに、複数の固定羽根7のうち、前縁7cが後縁7dより下方にあり、外周端7bの少なくとも一部が固定ハブ側端7aより下方にある固定羽根7は、固定羽根7の外周端7bが同じ固定羽根7の中央部7mより下方に設けられている。あるいは、そのような固定羽根7のうち、中央部7mの少なくとも一部が同じ固定羽根7の外周端7bより下方に位置することになる固定羽根を設けないようにしている。 Further, among the plurality of fixed blades 7, the fixed blade 7 in which the front edge 7 c is below the rear edge 7 d and at least a part of the outer peripheral end 7 b is below the fixed hub side end 7 a is the outer peripheral end of the fixed blade 7. 7 b is provided below the central portion 7 m of the same fixed blade 7. Alternatively, among such fixed blades 7, at least a part of the central portion 7 m is not provided with a fixed blade that is positioned below the outer peripheral end 7 b of the same fixed blade 7.
 このため、前縁7cが後縁7dより下方にあり、外周端7bの少なくとも一部が固定ハブ側端7aより下方にある固定羽根7は、前縁7cまたは後縁7dに水平部を有することがない。これにより、送風機1やその周辺部材の上部に積もった雪などが解けて、固定羽根7の水平部にたまり、氷柱が発生したりや成長したりすることを防止できる。 Therefore, the fixed blade 7 having the front edge 7c below the rear edge 7d and at least a part of the outer peripheral end 7b below the fixed hub side end 7a has a horizontal portion at the front edge 7c or the rear edge 7d. There is no. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the snow accumulated on the upper portion of the blower 1 and its peripheral members from being melted and collecting on the horizontal portion of the fixed blade 7 to generate or grow an ice column.
 この点について、図11を用いてさらに詳しく説明する。図11は、本実施の形態と比較するために、領域X1にも他の領域に配置された固定羽根7と同じ径状の固定羽根7を配置して構成した送風機である。 This point will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 shows a blower in which fixed blades 7 having the same diameter as the fixed blades 7 arranged in other regions are also arranged in the region X1 for comparison with the present embodiment.
 動翼5の回転方向が吐出側から見て時計回りとなる図11の送風機の場合には、静翼の固定羽根7のうち、固定ハブ6より右側にあるものは、風上側から風下側に向かって下り傾斜になり、上方から水滴が落ちてきても動翼5の方向には流れ落ちない。しかし、左側にあるものは、風上側から風下側に向かって上り傾斜になるので、上方から落ちてきた水滴が動翼5の方向に流れ落ちる可能性がある。 In the case of the blower of FIG. 11 in which the rotating direction of the moving blade 5 is clockwise when viewed from the discharge side, the stationary blade 7 on the right side of the stationary hub 6 among the stationary blades 7 of the stationary blade is from the windward side to the leeward side. Even if a water droplet falls from above, it does not flow in the direction of the moving blade 5. However, what is on the left side is inclined upward from the leeward side toward the leeward side, so that water droplets falling from above may flow down in the direction of the moving blade 5.
 そして、この上方から落ちてきた水滴が雪解け水であった場合などには、固定羽根7の上を風上側、つまり、動翼5方向に流れ落ちるだけでなく氷柱として成長し、動翼5と干渉して、異常音を生じたり、動翼5が停止したり破損する可能性がある。 When the water droplets falling from above are melted snow or the like, the stationary blades 7 not only flow down toward the windward side, that is, in the direction of the moving blades 5 but grow as icicles and interfere with the moving blades 5. As a result, abnormal noise may be generated, or the moving blade 5 may be stopped or damaged.
 図11において、上方から落ちてきた水滴のうち、動翼5の方向に流れ落ちるのは、固定羽根7の左右方向(外周端7b方向または固定ハブ側端7a方向)に流れにくくなった水滴である。このような水滴は、固定羽根7の前縁7cが水平となる部分(前縁水平部7e)または後縁7dが水平となる部分(後縁水平部7f)で顕著に生じることとなる。 In FIG. 11, of the water droplets that have fallen from above, the one that flows in the direction of the moving blade 5 is a water droplet that is less likely to flow in the left-right direction of the fixed blade 7 (the direction of the outer peripheral end 7 b or the fixed hub side end 7 a). . Such water droplets are conspicuously generated at a portion where the front edge 7c of the fixed blade 7 is horizontal (front edge horizontal portion 7e) or a portion where the rear edge 7d is horizontal (rear edge horizontal portion 7f).
 そして、このような水平部は、固定羽根7の前縁7cまたは後縁7dの全体が、水平になっているか、吐出側から見て曲線状をなしている場合に生じやすい。特に、固定羽根7の前縁7cまたは後縁7dが吐出側から見て曲線状をなすのは、前述のように固定羽根7の羽根取付角θが、固定羽根7の半径方向の位置によって異なるように構成されている場合に生じやすい。 Such a horizontal portion is likely to occur when the entire front edge 7c or rear edge 7d of the fixed blade 7 is horizontal or curved when viewed from the discharge side. In particular, the leading edge 7c or the trailing edge 7d of the fixed blade 7 is curved when viewed from the discharge side, as described above, the blade mounting angle θ of the fixed blade 7 varies depending on the radial position of the fixed blade 7. This is likely to occur when configured as described above.
 しかし、本実施の形態では、図10に示すように、固定羽根7の前縁7cが後縁7dより下方に位置する領域での固定羽根7のピッチが大きいので、図11の構成の静翼に比べて、動翼5の方向に水が流れやすい状態に設けられた固定羽根7に、水平となる部分をもつことを低減できる。 However, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the fixed blade 7 has a large pitch in a region where the front edge 7c of the fixed blade 7 is located below the rear edge 7d. As compared with the above, it is possible to reduce the fixed blade 7 provided in a state in which water easily flows in the direction of the moving blade 5 to have a horizontal portion.
 そして、固定ハブ6より左側にある固定羽根7の前縁7cまたは後縁7dが水平部を持たないので、水滴は停滞せずに左右方向に流れるため、動翼5に向かう氷柱は成長しない。 And since the front edge 7c or the rear edge 7d of the fixed blade 7 on the left side of the fixed hub 6 does not have a horizontal portion, the water droplets flow in the left-right direction without stagnation, so that the ice column toward the moving blade 5 does not grow.
 特に、固定羽根7は、前縁7cが曲線状に形成されるとともに、前縁7cが後縁7dより下方にあり、外周端7bの少なくとも一部が固定ハブ側端7aより下方にある固定羽根(図10の領域X2に配置される固定羽根)は、固定羽根の外周端7bが中央部7mより下方に設けられているので、水滴がたまりやすい水平部をなくすことができる。 In particular, the fixed blade 7 has a front edge 7c formed in a curved shape, a front edge 7c below the rear edge 7d, and at least a part of the outer peripheral end 7b below the fixed hub side end 7a. Since the outer peripheral end 7b of the fixed blade is provided below the central portion 7m (the fixed blade disposed in the region X2 in FIG. 10), it is possible to eliminate a horizontal portion where water droplets easily collect.
 また、図11の構成の静翼から、固定ハブ6より左側にあって、前縁水平部7eまたは後縁水平部7fがある2枚の固定羽根7を除き、図10のように、11枚の固定羽根7として構成した静翼8においては、動翼5の方向に氷柱が成長し、動翼5と干渉して、異常音を生じたり、動翼5が停止したり破損することがない。さらに、静翼8が備える固定羽根の枚数の減少を最小限として、静翼8の静圧を回収する効果を最大に維持できる。 11 except for the two stationary blades 7 on the left side of the fixed hub 6 and having the front edge horizontal portion 7e or the rear edge horizontal portion 7f, as shown in FIG. In the stationary blade 8 configured as the fixed blade 7, an icicle grows in the direction of the moving blade 5, and does not interfere with the moving blade 5 to generate abnormal noise, and the moving blade 5 does not stop or break. . Further, the effect of collecting the static pressure of the stationary blade 8 can be maximized by minimizing the decrease in the number of fixed blades included in the stationary blade 8.
 また、領域X1には、固定羽根7を設けないだけでなく、延長部12や脚部13も設けていないので、延長部12や脚部13の水平となる部分に、水滴がたまり、氷の発生や成長の起点となることもない。 In addition, in the region X1, not only the fixed blade 7 is provided, but also the extension portion 12 and the leg portion 13 are not provided, so that water drops accumulate in the horizontal portions of the extension portion 12 and the leg portion 13, and ice It does not become the starting point of occurrence or growth.
 なお、本実施の形態では、図11の構成の静翼から固定羽根7を2枚は取り除き、固定ハブ6より左側の領域での固定羽根7のピッチを不等にすることで、ピッチを大きくしている。しかし、これに限ることなく、固定ハブ6より左側の領域のピッチが、固定ハブ6より右側の領域より大きくなっていれば、固定ハブ6より左側の領域も等ピッチとすることもできる。なお、固定ハブ6より左側の領域も等ピッチとした場合には、静翼8全体を若干回転させて、水平部が生じないような固定羽根の配置となるように設計することが望ましい。 In the present embodiment, the two fixed blades 7 are removed from the stationary blade having the configuration shown in FIG. 11, and the pitch of the fixed blades 7 in the region on the left side of the fixed hub 6 is made unequal, thereby increasing the pitch. is doing. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if the pitch of the region on the left side of the fixed hub 6 is larger than that of the region on the right side of the fixed hub 6, the region on the left side of the fixed hub 6 can also be set to an equal pitch. In addition, when the area | region on the left side from the fixed hub 6 is also made into equal pitch, it is desirable to design so that the stationary blade 8 whole may be rotated a little, and it may become the arrangement | positioning of the fixed blade | wing which does not produce a horizontal part.
 また、本実施の形態では、固定羽根7の前縁7cを直線状とし、後縁7dを曲線状とするとしたが、水滴がたまりやすい箇所を設けないという観点では、前縁7cを曲線状とし、後縁7dは直線状にしてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the front edge 7c of the fixed blade 7 is linear and the rear edge 7d is curved. However, from the viewpoint of not providing a place where water droplets are likely to collect, the front edge 7c is curved. The trailing edge 7d may be linear.
 そして、本実施の形態における送風機が搭載された室外ユニットは、動翼5の方向に水が流れ落ちるような形状の固定羽根7が、水平部をもつことを防止できる。このため、室外ユニットの上部に積もった雪などが解けて、固定羽根7にたまったり、氷柱が発生したり、成長したりすることを防止できる。 And the outdoor unit in which the air blower in this Embodiment is mounted can prevent the fixed blade | wing 7 of the shape where water flows in the direction of the moving blade 5 having a horizontal part. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the snow accumulated in the upper part of the outdoor unit from being melted and accumulating on the fixed blade 7, generating icicles, and growing.
 さらに、このような室外ユニットでは、静翼8の固定羽根7と吹出グリル25(以下、図6参照)とが直接、固定されることなく、それぞれが筐体21に固定されているので、落下や正面からの人為的な圧力によって吹出グリル25に、外力がかかったとしても、その外力は筐体21の正面部21aの変形によって、ある程度吸収されるために、静翼8が変形したり、静翼8の固定羽根7とオリフィス9との位置関係がずれたりすることがない。このため、吹出グリル25の強度を増加させる必要がなく、安価に室外ユニットを構成できる。 Further, in such an outdoor unit, the stationary blade 7 of the stationary blade 8 and the blowing grill 25 (refer to FIG. 6 below) are not directly fixed, but are fixed to the casing 21, so that they are dropped. Even if an external force is applied to the blowing grill 25 due to the artificial pressure from the front, the external force is absorbed to some extent by the deformation of the front portion 21a of the casing 21, so that the stationary blade 8 is deformed, The positional relationship between the stationary blade 7 of the stationary blade 8 and the orifice 9 does not shift. For this reason, it is not necessary to increase the strength of the blowing grill 25, and the outdoor unit can be configured at low cost.
 また、静翼8の固定羽根7と吹出グリル25とを別体で構成することができるので、固定羽根7を成型する際の成型精度を向上させることができ、安価に静圧を効率よく回収できる静翼8を製造することができる。例えば、固定羽根7と吹出グリル25とを一体成形とした際には、固定羽根7と吹出グリル25とが交差する位置に、アンダーカット解消用のヒレを設ける必要がある。 Moreover, since the stationary blade 7 and the blowing grill 25 of the stationary blade 8 can be configured separately, the molding accuracy when the stationary blade 7 is molded can be improved, and the static pressure can be efficiently recovered at a low cost. A possible stationary blade 8 can be manufactured. For example, when the fixed blade 7 and the blowing grill 25 are integrally formed, it is necessary to provide a fin for eliminating the undercut at a position where the fixed blade 7 and the blowing grill 25 intersect.
 ここで、アンダーカットとは、成形加工において、金型から成形品を取り出す(離型する)際に、型を開く方向のみでは離型できない形状のことであり、これを解消するためのヒレを設けないと上下方向のみに開く金型では製造することはできず、横方向にスライドするスライドコア(サイドコア)を設ける必要であり、金型費用が高額となり、製作費用が高くなる形状である。 Here, undercut refers to a shape that cannot be released only in the direction of opening the mold when the molded product is taken out (released) from the mold in the molding process. If it is not provided, it cannot be manufactured with a mold that opens only in the vertical direction, and it is necessary to provide a slide core (side core) that slides in the horizontal direction, which increases the cost of the mold and increases the manufacturing cost.
 しかし、本実施の形態では、このようなアンダーカット解消用のヒレを設ける必要がなくなるため、固定羽根7にヒレを設けることによって、静翼8が静圧を回収する際の性能劣化を抑えることができる。 However, in the present embodiment, it is not necessary to provide a fin for eliminating such an undercut. Therefore, by providing a fin on the fixed blade 7, performance degradation when the stationary blade 8 collects static pressure is suppressed. Can do.
 (第4の実施の形態)
 以下、本発明の第4の実施の形態における送風機について、図面を参照しながら説明する。なお、この実施の形態によってこの発明が限定されるものではない。
(Fourth embodiment)
Hereinafter, a blower according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments.
 本実施の形態の説明については、本発明の第1の実施の形態、本発明の第2の実施の形態あるいは本発明の第3の実施の形態と同じ構成要素については同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。 In the description of this embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment of the present invention, the second embodiment of the present invention, or the third embodiment of the present invention are denoted by the same reference numerals. The description is omitted.
 以下、本実施の形態と、本発明の第1の実施の形態、本発明の第2の実施の形態あるいは本発明の第3の実施の形態とで異なる点のみを説明する。 Hereinafter, only differences between the present embodiment and the first embodiment of the present invention, the second embodiment of the present invention, or the third embodiment of the present invention will be described.
 図12は、本発明の第4の実施の形態における送風機の吐出側からみた正面図である。なお、本実施の形態において、他の実施の形態と同じ構成要素については同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。 FIG. 12 is a front view seen from the discharge side of the blower in the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Note that in this embodiment, the same components as those in the other embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.
 図8に示すように、動翼5の吐出側(下流側)には、固定ハブ6と、固定ハブ6の周囲に設けられた12枚の固定羽根7とを有する静翼8が設けられている。静翼8は、動翼5の回転方向が時計回りとなる方向から見て回転軸2(以下、図1参照)より左側で上下方向の中央にあたる領域では、固定羽根7のピッチが、その他の領域での固定羽根7のピッチの2倍となるように構成されている。つまり、仮に、同じ形状の固定羽根7を等ピッチで配置すると、動翼5の回転方向が時計回りとなる方向から見て回転軸2より左側で上下方向の中央にあたる領域には1枚の固定羽根7が配置されることとなる。 As shown in FIG. 8, a stationary blade 8 having a fixed hub 6 and twelve fixed blades 7 provided around the fixed hub 6 is provided on the discharge side (downstream side) of the moving blade 5. Yes. In the stationary blade 8, the pitch of the stationary blades 7 is other than the rotation axis 2 (hereinafter referred to as FIG. 1) on the left side of the rotation shaft 2 (refer to FIG. 1) and the center in the vertical direction. It is comprised so that it may become twice the pitch of the fixed blade | wing 7 in an area | region. That is, if the fixed blades 7 having the same shape are arranged at an equal pitch, one fixed plate is provided in a region corresponding to the center in the vertical direction on the left side of the rotary shaft 2 when viewed from the direction in which the rotating direction of the moving blade 5 is clockwise. The blade | wing 7 will be arrange | positioned.
 また、動翼5の回転方向が時計回りとなる方向から見て固定ハブ6より左側の領域に設けられた固定羽根27の形状は、固定ハブ6より右側の領域に設けられた固定羽根7の形状とは異なっている。 The shape of the fixed blade 27 provided in the region on the left side of the fixed hub 6 when viewed from the direction in which the rotation direction of the moving blade 5 is clockwise is the same as that of the fixed blade 7 provided in the region on the right side of the fixed hub 6. It is different from the shape.
 形状が異なる固定羽根27は、仮に、同じ形状の固定羽根7を等ピッチで配置すると、固定羽根の中央部7mの少なくとも一部が固定羽根の外周端7bより下方に位置することになる固定羽根である。そして、固定羽根27は、固定羽根の中央部27mから外周端7bまでに水平部を設けないような形状となっている。 The fixed blades 27 having different shapes are arranged such that if the fixed blades 7 having the same shape are arranged at an equal pitch, at least a part of the central portion 7m of the fixed blade is positioned below the outer peripheral end 7b of the fixed blade. It is. And the fixed blade | wing 27 is a shape which does not provide a horizontal part from the center part 27m of a fixed blade | wing to the outer peripheral end 7b.
 より詳細には、固定羽根27の中央部27mと固定ハブ側端27aとの間の形状は、他の固定羽根7と同じ形状であり、中央部27mと外周端27bとの間の形状が異なる。固定羽根27の後縁27dは、固定羽根27の中央部27mと固定ハブ側端27aとの間が曲線状に構成されているが、中央部27mと外周端27bとの間では、直線状に形成されている。 More specifically, the shape between the central portion 27m of the fixed blade 27 and the fixed hub side end 27a is the same shape as the other fixed blades 7, and the shape between the central portion 27m and the outer peripheral end 27b is different. . The rear edge 27d of the fixed blade 27 is configured in a curved shape between the central portion 27m of the fixed blade 27 and the fixed hub side end 27a, but is linear between the central portion 27m and the outer peripheral end 27b. Is formed.
 なお、固定羽根27の子午面高さh2は、他の11枚の固定羽根7の子午面高さh2(以下、図1参照)と同じであり、固定ハブ側端27aから外周端27bまで一定である。また、固定羽根27の羽根取付角θ(以下、図3A、図3B参照)は、他の11枚の固定羽根7の羽根取付角θと同じであり、中央部27mより外周端27b側の羽根取付角θbを、中央部27mより固定ハブ側端27a側の羽根取付角θaに比べて大きくしている。 The meridian height h2 of the fixed blade 27 is the same as the meridian surface height h2 of the other 11 fixed blades 7 (refer to FIG. 1 hereinafter), and is constant from the fixed hub side end 27a to the outer peripheral end 27b. It is. The blade mounting angle θ of the fixed blade 27 (refer to FIGS. 3A and 3B below) is the same as the blade mounting angle θ of the other 11 fixed blades 7, and the blade on the outer peripheral end 27b side from the central portion 27m. The mounting angle θb is made larger than the blade mounting angle θa on the fixed hub side end 27a side from the central portion 27m.
 このため、固定羽根27の前縁27cは、固定羽根27の中央部27mと固定ハブ側端27aとの間は、他の11枚の固定羽根7と同様に、直線状に構成されているが、中央部27mと外周端27bとの間では、曲線状に形成されることとなる。 Therefore, the front edge 27c of the fixed blade 27 is linearly formed between the central portion 27m of the fixed blade 27 and the fixed hub side end 27a, like the other 11 fixed blades 7. Between the central portion 27m and the outer peripheral end 27b, a curved shape is formed.
 あるいは、静翼18は、仮に、図10に示す領域X1以外の領域に設けられた固定羽根7と等ピッチで、領域X1に同じ形状の固定羽根7を配置すると、以下のようになる。すなわち、固定羽根7の中央部7mの少なくとも一部が同じ固定羽根7の外周端7bより下方に位置することになる固定羽根7のうち、前縁7cまたは後縁7dが水平となる箇所が多い方の1枚を除いた状態となるようにするとともに、水平となる箇所が少ない方の1枚の固定羽根の形状の一部を修正した構成となっている。本実施の形態では、図12に示すように、固定羽根7の前縁7cが後縁7dより下方に位置する領域での固定羽根7のうち少なくとも1枚の形状が異なるので、図11の構成の静翼に比べて、動翼5の方向に水が流れやすい状態に設けられた固定羽根7に、水平となる部分をもつことを低減できる。 Alternatively, if the stationary blades 18 having the same shape are arranged in the region X1 at the same pitch as the stationary blades 7 provided in the region other than the region X1 shown in FIG. 10, the stationary blade 18 is as follows. That is, in the fixed blade 7 in which at least a part of the central portion 7m of the fixed blade 7 is located below the outer peripheral end 7b of the same fixed blade 7, there are many places where the front edge 7c or the rear edge 7d is horizontal. The configuration is such that one of the stationary blades is removed, and a part of the shape of the stationary blade of one of the fewer horizontal portions is corrected. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the shape of at least one of the fixed blades 7 in a region where the front edge 7c of the fixed blade 7 is located below the rear edge 7d is different. Compared to the stationary blades of FIG. 5, it is possible to reduce the fixed blade 7 provided in a state where water easily flows in the direction of the moving blade 5 from having a horizontal portion.
 そして、固定ハブ6より左側にある固定羽根7や固定羽根27の前縁7cや前縁27cまたは後縁7dや後縁27dが水平部を持たないので、水滴は停滞せずに左右方向に流れるため、動翼5に向かう氷柱は成長しない。 And since the front edge 7c, the front edge 27c, the rear edge 7d, and the rear edge 27d of the fixed blade 7 and the fixed blade 27 on the left side of the fixed hub 6 do not have a horizontal portion, water droplets flow in the left-right direction without stagnation. Therefore, the icicle heading toward the moving blade 5 does not grow.
 また、図11の構成の静翼から、固定ハブ6より左側にあって、前縁水平部7eまたは後縁水平部7fがある2枚の固定羽根7の一方を除き、もう一方の固定羽根27は、形状を一部修正して、後縁27dの水平になっていた部分を、左右で傾斜が変わる部分に変更して、水平部分がなく片方に傾斜した形状にした。そのため、水滴は停滞せずに左右方向(外周端27b方向または固定ハブ側端27a方向)に流れるため、動翼5に向かう氷柱が成長し、動翼5と干渉して、異常音を生じたり、動翼5が停止したり破損することがない。さらに、形状が異なる固定羽根の枚数を最小限として、静翼18の静圧を回収する効果を最大に維持できる。 In addition, one stationary blade 27 other than the two stationary blades 7 on the left side of the stationary hub 6 and having the front edge horizontal portion 7e or the rear edge horizontal portion 7f is removed from the stationary blade having the configuration shown in FIG. Partially modified the shape, the horizontal part of the trailing edge 27d was changed to a part where the slope changes on the left and right sides, so that there was no horizontal part and the part was inclined to one side. For this reason, the water droplets flow in the left-right direction (in the direction of the outer peripheral end 27b or the fixed hub side end 27a) without stagnation, so that an ice column toward the moving blade 5 grows and interferes with the moving blade 5 to generate abnormal noise. The rotor blade 5 does not stop or break. Furthermore, the effect of collecting the static pressure of the stationary blade 18 can be maximized by minimizing the number of fixed blades having different shapes.
 また、固定羽根7から固定羽根27への形状修正は、固定羽根7の後縁7dの成す曲線形状は修正したが、図1における子午面高さh2や、図3A~図3Cにおける羽根取付角θは変更していない。このため、固定羽根27の前縁27cの形状も固定羽根7とは変わっているが、この修正による静圧を回収する性能の低下はほとんどない。これは、静翼8が静圧を回収する性能は、子午面高さh2と羽根取付角θの影響が大きいことによる。 In addition, the shape modification from the fixed blade 7 to the fixed blade 27 has modified the curved shape formed by the trailing edge 7d of the fixed blade 7, but the meridian surface height h2 in FIG. 1 and the blade mounting angle in FIGS. 3A to 3C. θ is not changed. For this reason, the shape of the front edge 27c of the fixed blade 27 is also different from that of the fixed blade 7, but there is almost no deterioration in the performance of recovering the static pressure due to this correction. This is because the performance of the stationary blade 8 to collect the static pressure is greatly affected by the meridian surface height h2 and the blade mounting angle θ.
 なお、本実施の形態では、図11の構成の静翼から固定羽根7を1枚は取り除き、1枚は形状修正している。これは、前者の固定羽根7は固定羽根全体がほぼ水平になっており、形状修正よりものぞく方が、より確実に氷柱のリスクを回避できるからである。したがって、固定羽根7の姿勢によっては、前者の固定羽根7を除くことなく、氷柱が成長する恐れのある固定羽根の総てを形状修正してもよい。 In the present embodiment, one fixed blade 7 is removed from the stationary blade having the configuration shown in FIG. This is because the entire fixed blade 7 of the former fixed blade 7 is almost horizontal, and the risk of icicles can be avoided more reliably than by correcting the shape. Therefore, depending on the posture of the fixed blade 7, the shape of all the fixed blades that may grow ice pillars may be corrected without removing the former fixed blade 7.
 また、本実施の形態では、固定羽根7の前縁7cを直線状とし、後縁7dを曲線状とするとしたが、水滴がたまりやすい箇所を設けないという観点では、前縁7cを曲線状とし、後縁7dは直線状にしてもよい。この場合には、形状を変更する固定羽根27は、前縁27cの中央部27mと固定ハブ側端27aとの間では直線状とし、中央部27mと外周端27bとの間では曲線状とするとともに、後縁27dの中央部27mと固定ハブ側端27aとの間では曲線状とし、中央部27mと外周端27bとの間では直線状とすればよい。 In the present embodiment, the front edge 7c of the fixed blade 7 is linear and the rear edge 7d is curved. However, from the viewpoint of not providing a place where water droplets are likely to collect, the front edge 7c is curved. The trailing edge 7d may be linear. In this case, the fixed blade 27 whose shape is changed is linear between the central portion 27m of the front edge 27c and the fixed hub side end 27a, and is curved between the central portion 27m and the outer peripheral end 27b. In addition, a curved shape may be formed between the central portion 27m of the rear edge 27d and the fixed hub side end 27a, and a linear shape may be formed between the central portion 27m and the outer peripheral end 27b.
 以上のように、本実施の形態の送風機は、動翼5の方向に水が流れ落ちるような形状に配置された固定羽根7が、水平部をもつことを防止できる。このため、送風機1やその周辺部材の上部に積もった雪などが解けて、固定羽根7や固定羽根27にたまったり、氷柱が発生したり、成長したりすることを防止できる。これにより、氷柱が動翼と干渉して、異常音を生じたり、動翼が停止したり破損することがない。 As described above, the blower according to the present embodiment can prevent the fixed blade 7 arranged in a shape such that water flows in the direction of the moving blade 5 from having a horizontal portion. For this reason, it can prevent that the snow etc. which accumulated on the upper part of the air blower 1 and its peripheral member melt | dissolve, and it accumulates in the fixed blade | wing 7 or the fixed blade | wing 27, or an icy pillar generate | occur | produces or grows. As a result, the ice column does not interfere with the moving blade to generate abnormal noise, and the moving blade does not stop or break.
 また、本実施の形態の送風機を搭載した室外ユニットは、動翼5の方向に水が流れ落ちるような形状の固定羽根7が、水平部をもつことを防止できる。このため、室外ユニットの上部に積もった雪などが解けて、固定羽根7にたまったり、氷柱が発生したり、成長したりすることを防止できる。 Further, the outdoor unit equipped with the blower of the present embodiment can prevent the fixed blade 7 having a shape such that water flows down in the direction of the moving blade 5 from having a horizontal portion. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the snow accumulated in the upper part of the outdoor unit from being melted and accumulating on the fixed blade 7, generating icicles, and growing.
 以上説明したように、本発明は、回転軸を有する回転ハブと回転ハブの周囲に設けられた複数の回転羽根とを有する動翼と、動翼の外周側に設けられたオリフィスと、動翼の吐出側に設けられ、固定ハブと固定ハブの周囲に設けられた複数の固定羽根とを有する静翼とを備える。また、固定羽根は、固定羽根の半径方向の中央部より外周側での、回転軸に垂直な面に対する羽根取付角が、固定羽根の半径方向の中央部より固定ハブ側での羽根取付角より、大きくなるようにした。 As described above, the present invention provides a moving blade having a rotating hub having a rotating shaft and a plurality of rotating blades provided around the rotating hub, an orifice provided on the outer peripheral side of the moving blade, and a moving blade. And a stationary blade having a fixed hub and a plurality of fixed blades provided around the fixed hub. In addition, the fixed blade has a blade attachment angle with respect to a surface perpendicular to the rotation axis on the outer peripheral side from the central portion in the radial direction of the fixed blade, and a blade attachment angle on the fixed hub side from the central portion in the radial direction of the fixed blade. I tried to get bigger.
 この構成により、動翼から吐出される空気流の主流が集中し、旋回方向成分が大きくなる、静翼の固定羽根の中央部より外周側で、静翼の固定羽根の入口での衝突損失を小さく抑えることができる。このため、効率良く旋回方向成分を静圧に回収できる。 With this configuration, the main flow of the air flow discharged from the rotor blades is concentrated, and the swirl direction component becomes large.The collision loss at the stationary blade inlet of the stationary blade is reduced from the center of the stationary blade stationary blade. It can be kept small. For this reason, a turning direction component can be efficiently recovered to a static pressure.
 また、本発明は、固定羽根の羽根取付角が、固定羽根の半径方向の中央部と外周端との間で最大となるようにした。 Further, according to the present invention, the blade mounting angle of the fixed blade is maximized between the central portion in the radial direction of the fixed blade and the outer peripheral end.
 この構成により、固定羽根の外周端の羽根取付角が、中央部から外周側にかけての羽根取付角よりわずかに小さくなるため、固定羽根の外周端で、固定羽根の入口での衝突損失を小さく抑えることができる。このため、固定羽根の中央部から外周側、さらに外周端で効率良く旋回方向成分を静圧に回収できる。 With this configuration, the blade mounting angle at the outer peripheral end of the fixed blade is slightly smaller than the blade mounting angle from the center to the outer peripheral side, so the collision loss at the inlet of the fixed blade is kept small at the outer peripheral end of the fixed blade. be able to. For this reason, the swirl direction component can be efficiently recovered to the static pressure from the center portion of the fixed blade to the outer peripheral side and further to the outer peripheral end.
 また、本発明は、固定羽根の外周端での羽根取付角が、固定羽根の半径方向の中央部での羽根取付角より小さくなるようにした。 Further, in the present invention, the blade mounting angle at the outer peripheral end of the fixed blade is made smaller than the blade mounting angle at the central portion in the radial direction of the fixed blade.
 この構成により、固定羽根の外周端で、固定羽根の入口での衝突損失を小さく抑えることができる。このため、固定羽根の中央部から外周側で、効率良く旋回方向成分を静圧に回収できるとともに、動翼の回転羽根の漏れ流れや、翼端渦の影響を受ける外周端でも、効率良く旋回方向成分を静圧に回収できる。 This configuration makes it possible to reduce the collision loss at the fixed blade inlet at the outer peripheral edge of the fixed blade. For this reason, the swirl direction component can be efficiently recovered to the static pressure from the center to the outer periphery of the fixed blade, and the swirl can be efficiently swung even at the outer peripheral end affected by the leakage flow of the rotating blades of the rotor blade and the tip vortex. Directional components can be recovered to static pressure.
 また、本発明は、固定羽根が固定ハブ側から外周端までの、回転軸を含む平面に投影した高さである子午面高さが一定であるものである。 Further, in the present invention, the meridional surface height, which is the height projected by the fixed blade from the fixed hub side to the outer peripheral end on the plane including the rotation axis, is constant.
 この構成により、固定羽根の固定ハブ側から外周側にかけて、翼弦長を伸ばさず抑えられるので、固定羽根の表面摩擦損失及び後流のウエイク幅の増加による損失増加を抑えることができる。また、固定羽根の外周端近傍でも、翼弦長を伸ばさず抑えられるので、外周端での翼弦長が長い場合(子午面高さが高い場合)に影響を受けやすい、動翼とオリフィスとの間の漏れ流れや、動翼の翼端に発生する翼端渦の影響を極力抑えることができる。このため、乱れによる損失が増加することを抑えつつ、固定羽根の外周端での空気流の旋回方向成分を静圧に回収することができる。 With this configuration, the chord length can be suppressed without extending from the fixed hub side to the outer peripheral side of the fixed blade, so that it is possible to suppress an increase in the surface friction loss of the fixed blade and an increase in loss due to an increase in the wake width of the wake. In addition, since the chord length can be kept near the outer peripheral edge of the fixed blade without increasing the length, the rotor blade and orifice, which are easily affected when the chord length at the outer peripheral edge is long (when the meridian height is high), The influence of the leakage flow between the blades and the tip vortex generated at the tip of the rotor blade can be minimized. For this reason, it is possible to recover the swirl direction component of the air flow at the outer peripheral end of the fixed blade to a static pressure while suppressing an increase in loss due to turbulence.
 また、本発明は、固定羽根が、回転軸と垂直な平面において、外周側が固定ハブ側に対して動翼の反回転方向に傾斜している。 Further, according to the present invention, the stationary blade is inclined in the counter-rotating direction of the moving blade with respect to the stationary hub side on the plane perpendicular to the rotation axis.
 この構成により、動翼から吐出される空気流が、静翼の固定羽根を通過する際に、半径方向の位置ごとに異なるタイミングで通過することとなるため、静翼を通過する際に発生する騒音の大きさを小さくすることができる。 With this configuration, when the air flow discharged from the moving blade passes through the stationary blade of the stationary blade, the air flow passes at different timings for each position in the radial direction. The amount of noise can be reduced.
 また、本発明は、回転軸を有する回転ハブと回転ハブの周囲に設けられた複数の回転羽根とを有する動翼と、動翼の外周側に設けられたオリフィスと、動翼の吐出側に設けられ、固定ハブと固定ハブの周囲に設けられた複数の固定羽根とを有する静翼とを備える。また、オリフィスが、回転羽根の外周端との隙間が最小となる最小径部と、最小径部の吐出側に設けられ最小径部より径が大きい吐出側開口部を備える。さらに、固定羽根が、固定羽根の吸入側の縁である前縁の外周端の軸方向位置が、オリフィスの最小径部と吐出側開口部との間に位置するように設ける。 The present invention also provides a moving blade having a rotating hub having a rotating shaft and a plurality of rotating blades provided around the rotating hub, an orifice provided on the outer peripheral side of the moving blade, and a discharge side of the moving blade. And a stationary blade having a fixed hub and a plurality of fixed blades provided around the fixed hub. In addition, the orifice includes a minimum diameter portion where the gap with the outer peripheral end of the rotary blade is minimum, and a discharge side opening provided on the discharge side of the minimum diameter portion and having a diameter larger than the minimum diameter portion. Furthermore, the fixed blade is provided so that the axial position of the outer peripheral end of the front edge, which is the edge on the suction side of the fixed blade, is located between the smallest diameter portion of the orifice and the discharge side opening.
 この構成により、動翼の外周側から外周端までの領域での吐出気流が、オリフィスの吐出側開口部に向かうにしたがって、半径方向成分を有する流れに移行する前に、静翼の固定羽根の翼間に流入することとなる。このため、強制的に軸方向に流れを変換することができ、効率的に静圧に回収できる。 With this configuration, before the discharge airflow in the region from the outer peripheral side to the outer peripheral end of the moving blade moves toward the flow having the radial component as it moves toward the discharge-side opening of the orifice, It will flow between the wings. For this reason, the flow can be forcibly converted in the axial direction and can be efficiently recovered to a static pressure.
 また、本発明は、前縁の外周端とオリフィスとの間に所定の隙間を有するようにした。 In the present invention, a predetermined gap is provided between the outer peripheral end of the leading edge and the orifice.
 この構成とすることにより、静翼の前縁の圧力面側から負圧面側に意図的に僅かに漏れ流れを発生させることで、静翼の外周端付近の吹出側の縁である後縁側で静圧に変換されない流れが発生することが抑制できるため、効率的に静圧を回収できる。 By adopting this configuration, a slight leakage flow is intentionally generated from the pressure surface side to the suction surface side of the leading edge of the stationary blade, so that the trailing edge, which is the edge on the blowout side near the outer peripheral edge of the stationary blade. Since it can suppress that the flow which is not converted into a static pressure generate | occur | produces, it can collect | recover static pressure efficiently.
 また、本発明は、静翼に設けられた複数の固定羽根のうち少なくとも一部には、外周端の後縁側のみを半径方向に延長した延長部を備え、静翼は延長部を介して、オリフィスを保持する筐体に保持される。 Further, the present invention, at least a part of the plurality of fixed blades provided on the stationary blade, is provided with an extended portion that extends in the radial direction only the rear edge side of the outer peripheral end, the stationary blade via the extended portion, It is held in a casing that holds the orifice.
 この構成により、延長部を設けても固定羽根の前縁側に流入する空気の流れを乱すことがないので、流れの損失を極力小さくできる。このため、静翼での静圧回収による効率向上を阻害することなく、静翼を、オリフィスを保持する筐体に保持することができる。また、複数の固定羽根のすべてではなく、一部に延長部を設けることで、延長部での流れの損失をさらに小さくすることができる。 With this configuration, even if the extension is provided, the flow of air flowing into the front edge side of the fixed blade is not disturbed, so that the flow loss can be minimized. For this reason, the stationary blade can be held in the casing that holds the orifice without hindering the improvement in efficiency due to the static pressure recovery in the stationary blade. Moreover, the loss of the flow in an extension part can be made still smaller by providing an extension part in a part instead of all of a plurality of fixed blades.
 また、本発明は、固定羽根が、回転軸と垂直な平面において、外周側が固定ハブ側に対して動翼の反回転方向に傾斜している。 Further, according to the present invention, the stationary blade is inclined in the counter-rotating direction of the moving blade with respect to the stationary hub side on the plane perpendicular to the rotation axis.
 この構成により、動翼から吐出される空気流が、静翼の固定羽根を通過する際に、半径方向の位置ごとに異なるタイミングで通過することとなるため、静翼を通過する際に発生する騒音の大きさを小さくすることができる。 With this configuration, when the air flow discharged from the moving blade passes through the stationary blade of the stationary blade, the air flow passes at different timings for each position in the radial direction. The amount of noise can be reduced.
 また、本発明は、回転軸を有する回転ハブと回転ハブの周囲に設けられた複数の回転羽根とを有する動翼と、動翼の吐出側に設けられ、固定ハブと固定ハブの周囲に設けられた複数の固定羽根とを有する静翼とを備える。また、静翼は、固定羽根の前縁が後縁より下方に位置する領域に設けた固定羽根どうしの間隔が、固定羽根の吸入側の縁である前縁が吹出側の縁である後縁より上方に位置する領域に設けた固定羽根どうしの間隔より大きい。 The present invention also provides a moving blade having a rotating hub having a rotating shaft and a plurality of rotating blades provided around the rotating hub, provided on the discharge side of the moving blade, and provided around the fixed hub and the fixed hub. A stationary blade having a plurality of fixed blades. The stationary blade has a trailing edge in which the fixed blade provided in the region where the leading edge of the fixed blade is located below the trailing edge is the leading edge, which is the suction side edge of the fixed blade, and the blowing side edge. It is larger than the interval between the fixed blades provided in the region located above.
 この構成により、動翼の方向に水が流れる領域の固定羽根から、水滴がたまりやすい箇所を減らすことができる。これにより、送風機やその周辺部材の上部に積もった雪や霜が日射などで解けて、固定羽根に伝わり、この雪解け水が再氷結して氷柱が成長するような条件下において、固定羽根にたまった水滴から氷柱が固定羽根の風上側に向かって成長することを防止できる。このため、氷柱が、動翼と干渉して、異常音を生じたり、動翼が停止したりすることを防止できる。 This configuration can reduce the number of spots where water droplets tend to collect from the fixed blades in the region where water flows in the direction of the moving blades. As a result, snow and frost accumulated on the upper part of the blower and its peripheral members are melted by solar radiation and transmitted to the fixed blades, and the snow melted water re-freezes and the ice pillars grow and accumulate on the fixed blades. It is possible to prevent the ice column from growing toward the windward side of the fixed blade from the water droplets. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the icicle from interfering with the moving blades to generate abnormal noise or to stop the moving blades.
 また、本発明は、回転軸を有する回転ハブと回転ハブの周囲に設けられた複数の回転羽根とを有する動翼と、動翼の吐出側に設けられ、固定ハブと固定ハブの周囲に設けられた複数の固定羽根とを有する静翼とを備える。さらに、固定羽根の前縁が後縁より下方に位置する領域に設けた少なくとも1枚の固定羽根の形状が、固定羽根の前縁が後縁より上方に位置する領域に設けた固定羽根の形状と異なる。加えて、その固定羽根の中央部から外周端までに水平部を設けない。 The present invention also provides a moving blade having a rotating hub having a rotating shaft and a plurality of rotating blades provided around the rotating hub, provided on the discharge side of the moving blade, and provided around the fixed hub and the fixed hub. A stationary blade having a plurality of fixed blades. Further, the shape of at least one fixed blade provided in a region where the front edge of the fixed blade is located below the rear edge is the shape of the fixed blade provided in a region where the front edge of the fixed blade is located above the rear edge. And different. In addition, a horizontal portion is not provided from the center portion to the outer peripheral end of the fixed blade.
 この構成により、動翼の方向に水が流れる領域の固定羽根から、水滴がたまりやすい水平部を減らすことができる。これにより、送風機やその周辺部材の上部に積もった雪や霜が日射などで解けて、固定羽根に伝わり、この雪解け水が再氷結して氷柱が成長するような条件下において、固定羽根にたまった水滴から氷柱が固定羽根の風上側に向かって成長することを防止できる。このため、氷柱が、動翼と干渉して、異常音を生じたり、動翼が停止したり破損することを防止できる。 This configuration can reduce the horizontal part where water droplets tend to collect from the fixed blades in the region where water flows in the direction of the moving blades. As a result, snow and frost accumulated on the upper part of the blower and its peripheral members are melted by solar radiation and transmitted to the fixed blades, and the snow melted water re-freezes and the ice pillars grow and accumulate on the fixed blades. It is possible to prevent the ice column from growing toward the windward side of the fixed blade from the water droplets. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the icicle from interfering with the moving blades to generate abnormal noise or to stop or break the moving blades.
 また、本発明は、複数の固定羽根の前縁または後縁の少なくとも一方が曲線状に形成されるとともに、複数の固定羽根のうち、前縁が後縁より下方にあり、外周端の少なくとも一部が固定ハブ側端より下方にある固定羽根の、その固定羽根の外周端をその固定羽根の中央部より下方に設ける。 Further, according to the present invention, at least one of the front edge or the rear edge of the plurality of fixed blades is formed in a curved shape, and among the plurality of fixed blades, the front edge is below the rear edge, and at least one of the outer peripheral ends. An outer peripheral end of the fixed blade of which the portion is below the fixed hub side end is provided below the central portion of the fixed blade.
