を満たす。
図12は、実施例1のプロペラファン5の第1翼素15aの翼角度を説明するための側面図である。図6及び図12に示すように、翼面部12cの正圧面12pから突出した第1翼素15aの頂点をA、中心軸Oから頂点Aまでの距離をr1、第1翼素15aの回転方向Rにおける前縁15a-Fにおいて中心軸Oから距離r1となる点をBとしたときに、頂点Aと点Bとを結ぶ方向に沿う第1翼素15aの全長を、第1翼素15aの翼弦長W1とする。このとき、図12に示すように、第1翼素15aの翼弦に沿う方向と、中心軸Oに直交する平面M(いわゆる回転面)とがなす、第1翼素15aの翼角度θが、所定の第1角度以上、第1角度よりも大きい第2角度以下の範囲になるように形成されている。なお、頂点Aは、第1翼素15aにおいて最も正圧側Pに位置する点であり、正圧面12pからの突出量が最大となる点である。
第1翼素15aの翼弦長W1は、上述したように頂点Aと点Bとを結ぶ方向に沿う第1翼素15aの全長である。図6に示すように、第2翼素15bにおいても、第1翼素15aの翼弦長W1と同様に、翼面部12cの正圧面12pから突出した第2翼素15bの頂点をC、中心軸Oから頂点Cまでの距離をr2、第2翼素15bの回転方向Rにおける前縁15b-Fにおいて中心軸Oから距離r2となる点をDとしたときに、頂点Cと点Dとを結ぶ方向に沿う第2翼素15bの全長を、第2翼素15bの翼弦長W2とする。頂点Cは、第2翼素15bにおいて最も正圧側Pに位置する点であり、正圧面12pからの突出量が最大となる点である。そして、第1翼素15aの翼弦長W1は、第2翼素15bの翼弦長W2よりも長い寸法とされている。
図14は、実施例1のプロペラファン5の第1翼素15a及び第2翼素15bの大きさを説明するための模式図である。図14に示すように、第1翼素15a及び第2翼素15bをハブ11の中心軸Oに沿う平面(図14の紙面)上、つまり、プロペラファン5の子午断面(プロペラファン5を中心軸Oに沿って切断した断面)上に投影したとき、子午断面上で第1翼素15aと第2翼素15bとが重なる部分の面積は、子午断面上における第1翼素15aの面積の75%以下である。
図15~図17を参照して、実施例1と比較例のプロペラファンの静圧の変化を説明する。比較例のプロペラファンは、内周翼15を有していない点が、実施例1のプロペラファン5と異なる。図15は、実施例1のプロペラファン5における風量と入力との関係を示すグラフである。図16は、実施例1のプロペラファン5における風量と回転数との関係を示すグラフである。図17は、実施例1のプロペラファン5における風量と静圧との関係を示すグラフである。図15~図17において、実施例1を実線で示し、比較例を点線で示す。図15及び図16は、実施例1と比較例とで、入力に対する風量や回転数に対する風量を比較する際に、静圧が同じ(一定)であることを前提としている。
上述したように実施例1のプロペラファン5の内周翼15において、翼12の回転方向Rにおける前縁12-F側に配置された第1翼素15aは、図12を用いて説明したように、頂点Aと点Bとを結ぶ方向に沿う第1翼素15aの翼弦に沿う方向と、中心軸Oに直交する平面Mとがなす翼角度θが、所定の第1角度以上、第1角度よりも大きい第2角度以下の範囲になるように形成されている。これにより、翼12の内周部13aにおける風速を高めることが可能になり、翼12の内周部13aでの風量を向上することができるので、プロペラファン5全体での風量を増やすことができる。プロペラファン5は、内周翼15を有していないプロペラファンと比べて、同じ回転数における風量が増えるので、内周翼15を有していないプロペラファンと同じ風量を得るための回転数を下げることができる。したがって、プロペラファン5の効率が高められ、空気調和機の省エネルギー性能を向上することができる。
図19は、実施例2のプロペラファン25を正圧側Pから見た平面図である。図20は、実施例2のプロペラファン25の第1翼素35a及び第2翼素35bを正圧側Pから見た斜視図である。図21は、実施例2のプロペラファン25の第1翼素35a及び第2翼素35bを負圧側Nから見た斜視図である。
図22は、実施例2のプロペラファン25の第1翼素35a及び第2翼素35bが負圧面12nから負圧側Nに突出する形状を説明するための斜視図である。図23は、実施例2のプロペラファン25の第1翼素35a及び第2翼素35bが負圧面12nから負圧側Nに突出する形状を説明するための要部断面図である。
図24は、実施例2のプロペラファン25の第1翼素35a及び第2翼素35bによる空気の流れを説明するための側面図である。実施例2では、図24に示すように、負圧側Nから正圧側Pへ向かって流れる空気の流れT1、T2が生じるが、空気の流れT2が、実施例1と異なる。実施例1では、第1開口16を通る空気が、第1翼素15a及び第2翼素15bの各正圧面に沿って流れる。これに対して、実施例2では、負圧面12nから負圧側Nに突出する第1翼素35a及び第2翼素35bの突出量が適正に確保されることにより、空気の流れT2のように、負圧面12n上に沿って流れる空気を第1開口36に導き易くなる。実施例2では、負圧面12n上に沿って第1開口36に導かれた空気を、第2翼素35bの正圧面12pで受けるので、第2翼素35bに沿って負圧側Nから正圧側Pに引き込まれる風量が増える。したがって、翼12の内周部13aにおける風速が高められる。
図25及び図26を参照して、実施例2のプロペラファン25と実施例1のプロペラファン5とを比較する。実施例1のプロペラファン5は、第1翼素15a及び第2翼素15bが負圧面12nから負圧側Nに突出する突出量が、実施例2のプロペラファン25と比べて小さい点で、実施例2と異なる。図25は、実施例2のプロペラファン25における風量と入力との関係を、実施例1と比較して示すグラフである。図26は、実施例2のプロペラファン25における風量と回転数との関係を、実施例1と比較して示すグラフである。図25及び図26において、実施例2を実線で示し、実施例1を点線で示す。図25及び図26は、実施例2と実施例1とで、入力に対する風量や回転数に対する風量を比較する際に、静圧が同じ(一定)であることを前提としている。
実施例2のプロペラファン25の内周翼35は、翼面部12cの負圧面12nから負圧側Nへ向かって突出すると共に、翼12の回転方向Rに並んで配置された複数の翼素を含む。複数の翼素は、翼12の前縁12-F側に配置された第1翼素35aと、翼12の後縁12-R側において第1翼素35aに隣り合って配置された第2翼素35bと、を有しており、翼面部12cにおける、第1翼素35aと、第2翼素35bとの間に、翼面部12cを負圧側Nから正圧側Pに貫通する第1開口36が形成されている。これにより、翼12の内周部13aにおける風速を高めることが可能になり、翼12の内周部13aでの風量を向上することができるので、プロペラファン5全体での風量を増やすことができる。したがって、プロペラファン5の効率が高められ、空気調和機の省エネルギー性能を向上することができる。
