The number of the second blades 201 is reduced, and when the first fan blade portion 10 and the second fan blade portion 20 partially overlap, the influence on the flow of the airflow entering the first fan blade portion 10 can be reduced. The reduction in the number of the second blades 201 can reduce the number or area of the vias 12 on the connecting ring 11, thereby reducing the impact on the mechanical strength of the connecting ring 11, and keeping the connecting ring 11 firm and stable. The reduction in the number of the second blades 201 can also make the fixed portion 212 have a longer radial extension relative to the blades. This is because the reduction in the number of the second blades 201 correspondingly increases the distance between the adjacent fixed portions 212, and the fixed portion 212 can have a larger diameter. It extends longer in the direction, so that the fixing portion 212 can better prevent the second blade 201 from falling out of the via hole 12. Since the diameter of the first blade portion 10 is larger than that of the second blade portion 20, when the cross flow fan rotates, the air volume of the first blade portion 10 is greater than the air volume of the second blade portion 20, which can make the cross flow The fan creates a strong air supply area and a weak air supply area outside the air conditioner.

Optionally, the material of the first blade 101 is aluminum alloy or engineering plastics. The aluminum alloy impeller has high strength, light weight, high temperature resistance, and can maintain stable operation for a long time without deformation; the plastic impeller is injection molded by a mold and then welded by ultrasonic waves. It can be used in applications with low rotation speed and has a large diameter.

In some embodiments, the width of the second blade 201 is greater than the width of the first blade 101. On the basis of the reduction in the number of second blades 201, the width of the second blade 201 is greater than the width of the first blade 101, which can enhance the structural strength of the second blade portion 20, make the second blade 201 more stable and stable, and reduce the second blade. Vibration noise generated when the blade 20 rotates. Due to the reduction of the number of blades in the second fan blade portion 20, the mechanical strength is lower than that of the first fan blade portion 10, and the width of the second blade 201 is increased. In addition, the width of the second blade 201 is increased, and the air blowing volume can be appropriately increased, and the air blowing volume of the second blade portion 20 can be prevented from excessively decreasing. Optionally, the thickness of the second blade 201 is greater than the thickness of the first blade 101. The increase in thickness can enhance the mechanical strength of the second blade 201 and make it stronger and less susceptible to bending and deformation when rotating together with the first blade portion 10.

In some embodiments, part or all of the blades of the cross flow fan include a main body and a constriction. The main body is in the shape of a belt; the contraction part is arranged on the main body and has a width smaller than the width of the main body. The width of the constricted part is smaller than the width of the main body. When the airflow passes through the constricted part of the blade, the wind pressure of the airflow can be enhanced, thereby increasing the air outlet pressure of the cross-flow fan. Optionally, the constriction is provided at the middle or end of the main body. In this way, the supercharging effect on the airflow can be achieved.

In some embodiments, part of the blades of the cross-flow fan include the first blade 101 or the second blade 201. That is, the first blade 101 includes a main body and a constriction, or the second blade 201 includes a main body and a constriction. Optionally, the second fan blade portion 20 has a smaller diameter than the first fan blade portion 10, and the second blade 201 includes a main body and a constricted portion. In this way, the second blade 201 can appropriately increase the wind pressure through the constricted portion, thereby increasing the air supply volume of the second blade 201, and compensate for the decrease in the air supply volume due to the decrease in the number of the second blades 201.

In some embodiments, the second fan blade portion 20 includes a fixing ring (not shown). The fixing ring is connected with each second blade 201 so that the second blade 201 is enclosed in a cylindrical shape. The fixing ring is conducive to the firmness and stability of the second blade 201, so that when the second fan blade portion 20 rotates together with the first fan blade portion 10, it can reduce shaking, avoid bending deformation, and reduce noise. Optionally, the second blade 201 is detachably connected to the fixed ring. In this way, the number of the second blades 201 can be adjusted according to the user's demand for the air supply effect, so as to meet the different needs of the user.

In some embodiments, the fixing portion 212 is provided with a locking member (not shown), and the first fan blade portion 10 is provided with an insertion groove for the locking member to be inserted, so that the second fan blade portion 20 is opposite to the first fan blade portion.
