Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention generally relates to an advection fan and a fan frame thereof and, more particularly, to an advection fan that draws and expels air in the radial direction, as well as a fan frame adapted to receive the advection fan.
  • 2. Description of the Related Art
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show a conventional advection fan 9, which includes a frame 91, an impeller 92 and a cover plate 93. The frame 91 includes a bottom plate 911 on which a shaft seat 912 is mounted. The frame 91 has an air inlet 913 and an air outlet 914 on two adjoined sides of the frame 91, with the inlet 913 and the air outlet 914 separated from each other by an air-guiding portion 915. The frame 91 further includes a lateral wall 916. The inlet 913 is formed between the air-guiding portion 915 and one end of the lateral wall 916, the air outlet 914 is formed between the air-guiding portion 915 and the other end of the lateral wall 916. The impeller 92 is rotatably mounted on the shaft seat 912. The cover plate 93 is mounted on the frame 91. Preferably, the cover plate 93 is coupled with the top edge of the frame 91 via a plurality of fixing members 94. In this arrangement, the impeller 92 may rotate to draw air via the inlet 913 and to expel air via the air outlet 914.
  • The lateral wall 916 has an inner face extending across the bottom plate 911 from the inlet 913 to the air outlet 914. However, since the inner face of the lateral wall 916 extends perpendicularly to the inlet 913, the inner face of the lateral wall 916 will not smoothly guide the air into the frame 91. In this regard, when the impeller 92 rotates to draw air via the air inlet 913, the air entering the frame 91 cannot be concentrated, resulting in squeezing of air inside the frame 91. As a result, turbulences are caused. In this situation, a portion of air will undesirably retain in the frame 91, affecting the air circulation of the advection fan 9. Thus, the air volume of the air inlet 913 is reduced. The air volume of the air outlet 914 is even reduced. Disadvantageously, the performance of the advection fan 9 is not improved.
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In the advection fan, air will be concentrated and guided into the fan frame by arranging first and second guiding faces at an air inlet wherein the distance between the first and second guiding faces is gradually reduced from the air inlet towards the center of the fan frame.

  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • FIG. 3 shows an advection fan according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. The advection fan includes a fan frame 1, an impeller 2 and a cover plate 3. The impeller 2 is installed in the fan frame 1 and between the fan frame 1 and the cover plate 3 for driving air. The cover plate 3 is coupled with the fan frame 1.
  • The fan frame 1 has a bottom plate 11 and a lateral wall 12. A shaft seat 111 is arranged on one face of the bottom plate 11. The lateral wall 12 is formed on the face of the bottom plate 11 that is provided with the shaft seat 111. The lateral wall 12 surrounds the shaft seat 111 and has an inner peripheral face 121 facing the shaft seat 111. The inner peripheral face 121 may extend in an arcuate manner corresponding to the outline of the impeller 2, so as to guide the incoming air along the inner peripheral face 121.
  • The lateral wall 12 includes a first air-guiding portion 122 and a second air-guiding portion 123. The first air-guiding portion 122 has first and second ends. The second air-guiding portion 123 has first and second ends. An air inlet 13 is formed between the first ends of the first air-guiding portion 122 and the second air-guiding portion 123. An air outlet 14 is formed between the second ends of the first air-guiding portion 122 and the second air-guiding portion 123. Air can be drawn into the advection fan via the air inlet 13 and be expelled from the advection fan via the air outlet 14. The bottom plate 11 may be of any shape such as a rectangular shape, a circular shape or an irregular shape. In this embodiment, the bottom plate 11 is in the rectangular shape wherein the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 are located on two adjoined sides of the bottom plate 11. The first air-guiding portion 122 includes a first guiding face 1221 at the air inlet 13, as well as a first air-guiding face 1222 at the air outlet 14. The second air-guiding portion 123 includes a second guiding face 1231 at the air inlet 13, as well as a second air-guiding face 1232 at the air outlet 14. The first air-guiding portion 122 may further include an air-separating portion 124, which is coupled with the second air-guiding portion 123 and extends inwards in the radial direction of the fan. The air-separating portion 124 does separate the incoming air from the exiting air, preventing turbulences from forming due to interference between the incoming air and the exiting air.
  • Referring to FIG. 4 a, the first guiding face 1221 intersects the inner peripheral face 121 by a first included angle α1. The first included angle α1 is smaller than 180 degrees. Similarly, a second included angle α2 is presented between the second guiding face 1231 and the inner peripheral face 121. The second included angle α2 is smaller than 180 degrees. The air-separating portion 124 has an end face facing the shaft seat 111, which is the part of the inner peripheral face 121 located at the second air-guiding portion 123.
  • The distance between the first guiding face 1221 and the second guiding face 1231 is gradually reduced from the air inlet 13 towards the center of the fan frame 1. Specifically, referring to FIG. 4 b, a reference line R may extend perpendicular to the air inlet 13 from the shaft seat 111. The first guiding face 1221 has a first edge that is relatively close to the shaft seat 111 and a second edge that is relatively distant to the shaft seat 111. The first edge is spaced from the reference line R at a first distance along a direction perpendicular to the reference line R, and the second edge is spaced from the reference line R at a second distance along the direction perpendicular to the reference line R. The first distance is smaller than the second distance. Similarly, the second guiding face 1231 has a third edge that is relatively close to the shaft seat 111 and a fourth edge that is relatively distant to the shaft seat 111. The third edge is spaced from the reference line R at a third distance along the direction perpendicular to the reference line R, and the fourth edge is spaced from the reference line R at a fourth distance along the direction perpendicular to the reference line R. The third distance is smaller than the fourth distance. Briefly speaking, the first guiding face 1221 and the second guiding face 1231 resemble the shape of “/ \” when viewing from the right side of the fan frame 1 in FIG. 4 a. This efficiently guides the air into the fan frame 1. The first air-guiding face 1222 may be parallel to the second air-guiding face 1232. Alternatively, the distance between the first air-guiding face 1222 and the second air-guiding face 1232 may be gradually reduced from the air outlet 14 to the center of the fan frame 1. In this case, the first air-guiding face 1222 and the second air-guiding face 1232 resemble the shape of “/ \”, guiding the air out of the fan frame 1 in a smooth manner.
  • Based on this, the first air-guiding portion 122 has a first angular end 1223 at the air inlet 13, as well as a second angular end 1224 at the air outlet 14. The second air-guiding portion 123 has a third angular end 1233 at the air inlet 13, as well as a fourth angular end 1234 at the air outlet 14.
  • A first boundary line B1 extends through the first angular end 1223 of the first air-guiding portion 122 and the third angular end 1233 of the second air-guiding portion 123. A second boundary line B2 extends through the second angular end 1224 of the first air-guiding portion 122 and the fourth angular end 1234 of the second air-guiding portion 123. A reference line S0 extends through the center of the shaft seat 111 and the air outlet 14, and extends parallel to the second boundary line B2. In the embodiment, the air-separating portion 124 may be optionally arranged between the reference line S0 and the first boundary line B1. In addition, the face of the air outlet 14 that faces the air outlet 14 may be, but not limited to be, coplanar with the second air-guiding portion 123.
  • In this embodiment, the fan frame 1 may further define a first auxiliary line S1 extending through the center of the shaft seat 111 and the first angular end 1223 of the first air-guiding portion 122, as well as a second auxiliary line S2 extending through the center of the shaft seat 111 and the fourth angular end 1234 of the second air-guiding portion 123. The first auxiliary line S1 may intersect the reference line S0 by a third included angle θ1 which is preferably between 35 degrees to 55 degrees. The first guiding face 1221 is located within the third included angle θ1. The second auxiliary line S2 may intersect the reference line S0 by a fourth included angle θ2, which is preferably between 15 degrees to 35 degrees. The second air-guiding face 1232 is located within the fourth included angle θ2.
  • The impeller 2 may be rotatably coupled with the shaft seat 111 of the fan frame 1. A motor may be provided to drive the impeller 2 to rotate, so that the impeller 2 will draw air via the air inlet 13 and expel air via the air outlet 14. The principle of the motor driving the impeller 2 can be readily appreciated by one skilled in the art, so it is not described herein again.
  • The cover plate 3 is coupled with the fan frame 1 over the impeller 2. The cover plate 3 may be coupled with the top edge of the lateral wall 12 via a plurality of fixing members 4.
  • Based on the above structures, since the distance between the first guiding face 1221 and the second guiding face 1231 is gradually reduced from the air inlet 13 towards the center of the fan frame 1, the air entering the fan frame 1 can be efficiently concentrated. Advantageously, the incoming air can be smoothly guided to the air outlet 14 without disruption to the flow of the air, preventing turbulences from forming due to the squeezing of air inside the fan frame 1. Therefore, air can be guided through the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 more smoothly.
  • Further, when the first air-guiding face 1222 and the second air-guiding face 1232 are parallel to each other or when the space between the first air-guiding face 1222 and the second air-guiding face 1232 is gradually reduced from the air outlet 14 to the center of the fan frame 1, the air can be smoothly guided out of the fan frame 1. Therefore, the air volume of the air outlet 14 will be increased. In this arrangement, it can even prevent the expelled air from being drawn back into the fan frame 1 by the impeller 2, increasing the air volume of the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14.
  • FIG. 5 shows the relation of air volume verse air pressure of the conventional advection fan when the impeller rotates in a speed of 4000 rpm, as well as the relations of air volume verse air pressure of the advection fan of the invention when the impeller 2 rotates in the speed of 4000 rpm based on different third included angles θ1. In FIG. 5, line L0 represents the relation between air volume and air pressure of the conventional advection fan. Further, line L1 represents the relation between air volume and air pressure of the advection fan of the invention when the third included angle θ1 is 35 degrees, line L2 represents the relation between air volume and air pressure of the advection fan when the third included angle θ1 is 45 degrees, and line L3 represents the relation between air volume and air pressure of the advection fan when the third included angle θ1 is 55 degrees. It can be observed in FIG. 5 that the advection fan of the invention has an improved performance over the conventional one. It can also be observed in FIG. 5 that the advection fan of the invention has substantially the same performance when the third included angle θ1 is 35, 45 and 55 degrees. Thus, it can be concluded that the advection fan of the invention provides satisfactory performance when the third included angle θ1 is 35, 45 and 55.
  • FIG. 6 shows the relation of air volume verse air pressure of the conventional advection fan when the impeller rotates in the speed of 4000 rpm, as well as the relations of air volume verse air pressure of the advection fan of the invention when the impeller 2 rotates in the speed of 4000 rpm based on different fourth included angles θ2. In FIG. 6, line L0 represents the relation between air volume and air pressure of the conventional advection fan, as described previously. Further, line L4 represents the relation between air volume and air pressure of the advection fan of the invention when the fourth included angle θ2 is 15 degrees, line L2 represents the relation between air volume and air pressure of the advection fan when the fourth included angle θ2 is 25 degrees, and line L3 represents the relation between air volume and air pressure of the advection fan when the fourth included angle θ2 is 35 degrees. It can be observed in FIG. 6 that the advection fan of the invention has an improved performance over the conventional one. It can also be observed in FIG. 6 that the advection fan of the invention has substantially the same performance when the fourth included angle θ2 is 15 and 25 degrees. The advection fan of the invention has slightly better performance when the fourth included angle θ2 is 15 and 25 degrees than it does when the fourth included angle θ2 is 35 degrees. Thus, it can be concluded that the advection fan of the invention provides satisfactory performance when the fourth included angle θ2 is between 15 degrees and 35 degrees.
  • In summary, the advection fans of the preferred embodiments are capable of smoothly guiding air through the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 by arranging the first guiding face 1221 and the second guiding face 1231 wherein the distance between the first guiding face 1221 and the second guiding face 1231 is gradually reduced from the air inlet 13 towards the center of the fan frame 1. Thus, the air volume of the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 can be increased, thereby improving the performance of the advection fan.
  • Although the invention has been described in detail with reference to its presently preferable embodiments, it will be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention, as set forth in the appended claims.
