The present invention relates to a blower, and the basic function is to suck in air and discharge it at a preset wind speed according to the situation. A typical blower is a fan. The basic configuration of a conventional blower is a configuration that rotates a configuration having a certain inclination expressed as a blade or a blade to push the air behind the blade to the front. It is common to install and fix a motor in the center of one side of the blade. In this conventional blower device, the flow of air is formed according to the rotation of the blade, so the wind strength is not constant and a space necessary for the rotation of the blade must be secured, and a space for the motor by a certain distance must be provided on one side of the blade. There are many problems in terms of space for installation. In addition, in the case of a conventional fan, although the blade is wrapped in a housing in the form of a grate, there is a risk of injury or damage to the blade when there is an infant or an object that is caught in the grate is inserted, so there is a safety problem. In particular, there is a problem in that it creates a simple air flow that pushes the air behind the blade to the front, but does not efficiently form the blow.

The blower device of the present invention is to solve the problems of the conventional blower device, and includes a base module 100 including an air intake port 110 for sucking air in order to induce a flow of air in a desired shape, and a base module ( Installed and fixed in 100) and communicating with the air intake 110, the blowing module 200 that sucks air from the air intake 110 and discharges the sucked air in a preset direction, and the blowing module 200 communicate with each other It is installed so as to include a spray module 300 for spraying the air discharged from the blowing module 200 in a desired direction. The blower module 200 includes an impeller 210 that rotates to allow air to be sucked from the air intake 110 and to discharge the sucked air in a preset direction, and the impeller 210 to rotate to create a flow of air. It comprises a driving unit 220 providing driving force, an impeller 210 and a blower housing 230 in which the driving unit 220 is accommodated.

The base module 100 of the present invention is configured to install and fix the blowing module of the present invention therein. In the case of a bladeless fan, the lower housing is the base module 100 as shown in FIG. 4, and the one shown in FIG. In the case of the same dressing table, the lower structure under the mirror is the base module 100 . As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the shape of the base module 100 will vary depending on the device in which the blower of the present invention is installed, but basically, an air intake unit 110 for sucking air from the outside is provided. A series of configurations in which the air intake unit 110 and the blower are connected and the blower module 200 is fixed is a configuration provided therein. The base module 100 may be made of a plastic material in the case of home appliances, may be made of wood in the case of furniture, and may be made of a metal material when used in a kitchen hood, so that the blower of the present invention is utilized. Material and shape may vary depending on the product. The base module 100 is provided with an air inlet 110 for sucking air to be supplied to the blower. As shown in FIG. 4 , the air inlet may be formed with several holes for air inlet, and in a specific direction. It may be formed as a single large hole, and the shape of the air intake 110 may be adjusted according to the purpose of the product used and the installation environment.

The blower module 200 of the present invention is configured to suck in external air from the air intake 110 provided in the base module 100 and discharge the air in a preset direction. The blower module 200 has an impeller 210 and an impeller 210 in which a plurality of blades 215 are formed on the outer surface in order to perform a function of sucking and discharging air, that is, to form a flow of air through a rotational motion. ) The driving unit 220, the impeller 210, and the driving unit 220 are accommodated and fixed therein, and a constant flow path for discharging the sucked air in a predetermined direction is formed therein, including a blower housing 230 formed therein. The impeller 210, which plays a key role in the blower module 200, can be divided into a part where air is sucked in and a part where air is discharged, and the cross-sectional area of each part has a small air intake as shown in FIG. is made to If the cross section of the impeller 210 is formed so that the air intake portion is narrow and the air discharge portion becomes wider as described above, the air flow can be formed more efficiently and the space occupied by the blower module 200 can be reduced. In addition, the blade 215 formed on the outer surface of the impeller 210 is inclined with respect to the vertical cross section of the impeller 210 , and for example, the length of the air intake portion is long and the length of the discharge portion is short. When formed in such a way that the blower module 200 is configured to have a cylindrical shape, the overall volume of the blower module 200 can be efficiently utilized while maximizing the blowing efficiency. In addition, if the shape of the impeller 210 is formed into an empty space and then the driving unit 220 providing driving force for rotation of the impeller 210 is configured to be inserted in whole or in part, the volume of the blower module 200 can be configured more efficiently. The driving unit 220 of the blowing module 200 is configured to generate and transmit a rotational driving force for rotating the impeller 210, and various types of driving devices can be utilized according to the environment in which the blowing module 200 is used.

Air sucked from the 110 is discharged through the blower module 200 and is delivered to the spray module 300 to be sprayed. In this case, the injection module 300 injects air through the narrow gaps of the nozzles having a structure like the wings of an airplane as a whole to form a flow of air that is amplified several tens of times through the air amplification effect, and the air flows along the surface of the nozzle. It has a structure that amplifies the surrounding air and sprays it forward. Referring to FIG. 6 , when the blower of the present invention is applied to a dressing table, the jetting modules 300 are disposed at both ends of the dressing table mirror, and the air discharged from the blowing module 200 is delivered to both jetting modules 300 and sprayed. configured to be In this case, it is a difficult structure to obtain an air amplification effect, but unlike a fan, the need for a large wind strength is reduced, but it is necessary to configure the blowing structure thin and simple. 200), it is preferable to form a structure for spraying the air generated in the front. That is, when a high flow rate is required, it is necessary to maximize the air amplification effect by configuring the injection module 300 to have a shape similar to that of the wings of an airplane, but there is a disadvantage in that the injection module 300 is wide, air cleaning, warm air, When a high flow rate such as air circulation in a humidifier, furniture, and wardrobe is not required, it is preferable to configure the air flow generated from the blower module 200 to simply spray in a desired direction.

For this, the driving unit 220 in the communication module 400 ) is provided with a heat dissipation unit 410 having a hole for dissipation formed on the upper portion of the installed portion, and is fixed through the outer portion of the communication module 400 and two or more ribs 420 . The rib 420 for fixing the heat dissipation unit 410 is preferably configured to have a minimum volume, which is a flow path for the rib 420 to transfer the air generated from the blowing module 200 to the injection module 300 . Since it is installed on the 430, it is to maximize the blowing efficiency. In the cross-sectional view of the blower module 200 of FIG. 1 , the power line P for supplying power to the driving unit 220 is shown to be installed on the flow path 430 separately from the rib 420, but as shown in FIG. If the through-hole 425 is formed inside the rib 420 and positioned inside the power line P, there is an effect that the blowing efficiency can be further maximized.

It is configured to efficiently transfer air to the As shown in FIG. 2 through the dispersing member 500 , it is possible to prevent a vortex that may occur while air is delivered to the injection module 300 , thereby maximizing the blowing efficiency and in the injection direction of the injection module 300 . There is an effect of inducing air to deliver air without lowering the wind speed. The dispersing member 500 is preferably formed to have an inverted triangular shape as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, and the blowing module 200 side is sharp and the injection module ( 300) is preferably configured so that the side is widened. In addition, as shown as an example in FIG. 9 , the external shape can be variously configured to induce the flow of air more efficiently and to induce the flow of air according to the injection direction of the injection module 300 . . In this way, in the communication module 400 , the flow path 430 formed between the blowing module 200 and the injection module 300 is formed without resistance, and the dispersion member 500 is disposed at the end of the blowing module 200 to prevent vortex flow.
