Since the plurality of blocks 500 are separated from each other in this manner, the plurality of blocks 500 can be accurately and easily fabricated on the base material 202 compared to, for example, fabricating the plurality of blocks 500 so as to be connected to each other.

- the air passing near the upper portion of the block gap 550 can pass through the surface of the air layer formed in the block gap 550 so as to slide.
- the block gap 550 suppresses the contact area between the air passing near the upper portion of the block gap 550 and the surface-processed sheet 200, thereby reducing the contact resistance given to the airflow above the block gap 550 and allowing the airflow to flow smoothly. established for
- the air passing through the vicinity becomes easier to flow in. When air flows into the block gap 550 , frictional resistance is generated according to the contact area between the air and the block gap 550 . From this point of view, the groove width W2 of the block gap 550 is within the range of 10 ⁇ m to 600 ⁇ m.
- the groove width W1 in the second direction of each of the plurality of fine grooves 520 described above is smaller than the groove width W2 in the block gap 550 in the second direction.
- the flow velocity of the air flowing into the surface-processed sheet 200 varies depending on, for example, the rotational speed of the propeller fan 100 and the like.
- the relationship between the flow velocity of air toward the grooves and the width of the grooves affects whether an air layer can be effectively formed therein. If an air layer cannot be effectively formed inside the groove, air may flow into the groove and the groove may act as a resistance to block the flow of air.
- the flow velocity width of the air flowing into the surface-processed sheet 200 is divided into three ranges: low speed range, medium speed range, and high speed range.
- low speed range the relatively wide block gaps 550 can form an air layer more effectively than the relatively narrow fine grooves 520 .

- the fine grooves 520 can form an air layer more effectively than the block gaps 550 .
- At least one of the block gaps 550 and the fine grooves 520 can effectively form an air layer regardless of the speed range of the air flowing into the surface processed sheet 200 .
- Such a surface-processed structure 201 can exert a friction-reducing effect over a wide flow velocity range of flowing air.
- the ratio of the height H1 to the width W1 of the fine groove 520 is called the aspect ratio of the fine groove 520.
- a ratio of the height H2 to the groove width W2 in the block gap 550 is referred to as the aspect ratio of the block gap 550 .
- the aspect ratio of the block gaps 550 effective in the low speed range may be smaller than the aspect ratio of the fine grooves 520 effective in the high speed range.
- the surface area of the block gaps 550 can be made relatively small with respect to the surface area of the fine grooves 520 . Therefore, even if an air layer is not effectively formed in the block gap 550 in a high-speed range, the contact area with the air flowing into the block gap 550 is suppressed, and the friction when the block gap 550 acts as a resistance. Can suppress resistance.
- the plurality of blocks 500 are arranged such that a plurality of block gaps 550 continuously arranged in the first direction are formed.
- a plurality of block gaps 550 configure one fluid flow path extending in the first direction.
- a plurality of blocks 500 are arranged two-dimensionally in a grid pattern on the substrate 202 . Therefore, between two block rows 501 adjacent to each other, a fluid flow path is formed in which a plurality of block gaps 550 are continuously arranged in the first direction.
- the plurality of fine grooves 520 provided on the upper surface of the block 500 and the fluid channels are alternately arranged along the second direction. The air flowing through this fluid channel smoothly flows in the first direction without meandering.
- the length of the gap 540 in the first direction is the groove width W3.
- the air flowing into the surface-treated sheet 200 from the upstream side in the first direction continuously flows along the inclined surfaces 510 of the blocks 500 arranged in the first direction.
- part of the air may flow into the gap 540 and reduce the air volume.
- the groove width W3 of the gap 540 is within the range of 300 ⁇ m or less.
- the air flow in the surface-treated sheet 200 will be explained. As described above, when the propeller fan 100 rotates in the rotation direction A, the air moving relative to the rotating blades 120 flows onto the blade surfaces of the blades 120 . At this time, the air flows from the front edge 121 on the downstream side in the direction of rotation A to the front surface 125 and the rear surface 126 . Although the air flow on the front surface 125 will be described below, the air flow on the back surface 126 is similar.
- the surface-treated sheet 200 also rotates in the rotation direction A as the blade 120 rotates.
- the upper direction of the surface-treated sheet 200 is inclined to the front side, which is the upstream side in the first direction, with respect to the front direction of the blade 120 . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9B, the surface-treated sheet 200 rotating in the direction of rotation A moves forward and upward. Therefore, the air flowing into the front surface 125 moves relatively to the surface processed sheet 200 so as to approach it from the upper front side.
- air moves from the upstream side to the downstream side in the first direction in the surface-treated sheet 200 as follows.
- the air directed toward the surface-treated sheet 200 is branched into a plurality of main streams ST1 and a plurality of side streams ST2.
- the plurality of main streams ST1 most of the air flowing into the surface processed sheet 200 flows above the plurality of blocks 500 occupying most of the surface processed sheet 200 in plan view.
- the plurality of secondary streams ST2 the rest of the air flowing into the surface processed sheet 200 flows on both left and right sides of the plurality of blocks 500 in plan view. Therefore, on the upper side of the surface-processed sheet 200, the air that has flowed in flows in the first direction so that the main stream ST1 and the side stream ST2 are alternately arranged horizontally.
- the plurality of main streams ST1 are airflows formed corresponding to the plurality of block rows 501, respectively.
- the air flows along the sloped surface 510 of the upstream block 500A it leaves the front surface 125 of the wing 120 upwardly as it moves downstream from the upstream end 511 .
- the inclined surface 510 of each block 500 is provided with the plurality of fine grooves 520 described above. Since the inclined surface 510 has the plurality of fine grooves 520, the outer surface area of the inclined surface 510 is small.
- the outer surface of the inclined surface 510 is substantially composed of upper end surfaces of the plurality of protrusions 530 . Since the groove width W1 of the plurality of fine grooves 520 is extremely narrow as described above, an air layer is formed in which air is difficult to enter. Therefore, since the air flowing on the inclined surface 510 substantially contacts only the outer surface of the inclined surface 510, the contact area between the inclined surface 510 and the air is suppressed. The contact resistance applied to the airflow on the inclined surface 510 is reduced, and the decrease in flow velocity of the main stream ST1 can be suppressed.
- the air flows downstream over the downstream end 512 of the upstream block 500A and moves onto the inclined surface 510 of the downstream block 500B.
- the entire inclined surface 510 of the downstream block 500B is exposed toward the upstream block 500A, and the downstream end 512 is the highest among the upstream blocks 500A. Due to the height difference between the downstream end 512 of the upstream block 500A and the upstream end 511 of the downstream block 500B, the airflow continuously flowing above the upstream block 500A and the downstream block 500B is An air vortex E is generated near the upper side of the upstream end 511 of the side block 500B.
- the upstream end 511 of the downstream block 500B has a smaller distance from the target surface than the downstream end 512 of the upstream block 500A. Therefore, the air flowing out of the downstream end 512 of the upstream block 500A easily moves to the inclined surface 510 of the downstream block 500B without interfering with the upstream end 511 of the downstream block 500B. Furthermore, since the gap 540 between the upstream block 500A and the downstream block 500B is extremely narrow, the air flowing from the upstream block 500A to the downstream block 500B is suppressed from flowing into the gap 540.
- each block row 501 the air repeats the movement described above, so that the air moves continuously like bouncing on the inclined surfaces 510 of two or more blocks 500 arranged in the first direction. Rather than moving from upstream end 511 to downstream end 512 at each ramp 510 , air moves from a location downstream of upstream end 511 to downstream end 512 . As a result, the movement distance of the air on each inclined surface 510 in the first direction is suppressed, so that the contact resistance exerted on the airflow on the inclined surface 510 is further reduced.
- each block row 501 the contact resistance given to the airflow on the inclined surface 510 is relatively small, so the main flow ST1 smoothly flows in the first direction.
- the flow vortex E suppresses a decrease in flow velocity.
- the plurality of main streams ST1 flow smoothly and stably while being restrained from deviating from the first direction.
- the plurality of substreams ST2 are airflows formed between the plurality of block rows 501 in plan view.
- air flows from the upstream side to the downstream side in the first direction along fluid flow paths formed near the upper portions of the plurality of block gaps 550 arranged in the first direction.
- the secondary stream ST2 is sandwiched between two main streams ST1 flowing on both left and right sides thereof.
- the block gaps 550 are wider than the fine grooves 520, and the air vortex E does not occur in the block gaps 550, resulting in a flow velocity difference between the side stream ST2 and the main stream ST1. That is, since the side stream ST2 and the main stream ST1 on both left and right sides of the side stream ST2 have different flow velocities, the side stream ST2 is prevented from deviating from the first direction.
- the surface-processed sheet 200 air flows in the first direction due to the plurality of main stream ST1 and substream ST2, and different flow velocity distributions occur in the second direction, which is the span direction. That is, in the laminar flow boundary layer on the surface-treated sheet 200, flow velocity stripes are formed in which relatively low-speed layers and high-speed layers are alternately arranged. The momentum of the airflow flowing in the first direction over the surface-treated sheet 200 is diffused in the spanwise direction. As a result, the growth of the turbulent flow region can be delayed as compared with the case where the uniform flow flows on the surface-processed sheet 200 .
- the plurality of main flows ST1 and substreams ST2 can move smoothly and stably in the first direction.
- the propeller fan 100 is provided with the surface treatment sheet 200 on the plurality of blades 120, so that the air resistance during rotation is suppressed, and the propeller fan 100 can rotate smoothly, and can accurately blow higher-speed wind in the first direction. can.

As a result, the surface-processed structure 201 can smoothly send out the airflow in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment, regardless of which of the two operation modes the electric fan 1 is operating.

扇風機1を説明する。図1は、プロペラファン100を備えた扇風機1の一部分解側面図である。図1に示すように、扇風機1は、前ガード2、後ガード3、本体部4、スタンド5、及びプロペラファン100を含む。本体部4は、スタンド5によって支持されており、内部に図示しない駆動モータが収容されている。本体部4の前面には、駆動モータの回転軸4Aが設けられている。プロペラファン100の回転軸部110(図2等参照)が、スクリューキャップ6を用いて回転軸4Aに固定される。
プロペラファン100を説明する。図2は、プロペラファン100を正面側から見た斜視図である。図3は、プロペラファン100の正面図である。図2及び図3に示すように、プロペラファン100は、回転軸部110及び複数の翼120を有する。回転軸部110は、プロペラファン100のボスハブであり、有底略円筒状の形状を有する。複数の翼120の各々は、滑らかに曲成された板状である。複数の翼120は、回転軸部110の外周面から、プロペラファン100の径方向外側へ向けて突出する。複数の翼120は、回転軸部110の周方向に沿って等間隔に並び、且つ互いに同一の形状である。本例のプロペラファン100は、7枚の翼120を有する。
表面加工シート200を説明する。図5は、表面加工シート200を部分的に拡大した斜視図である。図6は、図5に示す破線枠内を部分的に拡大した斜視図である。以下では、図5における上側、下側、左下側、右上側、左上側、右下側を、夫々、表面加工シート200の上側、下側、前側、後側、左側、右側と定義する。図5の例は、表面加工シート200の一部であり、前後方向に2mm及び左右方向に2mmである。図6では、複数のブロック500のうち、左前側にある一つのブロック500のみに微細溝520を図示している。
実施例1における表面加工構造201の設計例を説明する。図10Aは、実施例1に係る表面加工シート200の斜視図である。図10Bは、実施例1における表面加工シート200と対象流との関係を示す表である。図10Cは、実施例1に係る表面加工シート200の寸法を示す表である。図10Dは、実施例1に係る表面加工シート200の正面図である。図10Eは、実施例1に係る表面加工シート200の側面図である。
二つの対象流のうち、流速が速い方の対象流に合わせて、溝を形成するピッチPの目標値を決定する。本例では、「扇風機強」の気流に合わせて、微細溝520のピッチP1の目標値を決定する。図12Dに示すように、ピッチP1は、一つの微細溝520の溝幅W1と、一つの凸部530の第二方向の長さ(即ち溝間隔G1)とを合わせた長さに等しい。
P=P´*v/u ・・・ (数1)
(数1)において、P´はピッチPの無次元化されたものであり、本例ではP´=15~30である。
vは、動粘度係数であり、本例では20℃空気の動粘度係数(15.01×10-6(m/s))である。
uは、表面加工構造201における対象流の摩擦速度であり、本例では「扇風機強」の流速15(m/s)である。
図10Bに示すように、本例では(数1)に基づいて、微細溝520のピッチP1の目標値が15~30(μm)の範囲であると算出される。
二つの対象流のうち、流速が遅い方の対象流に合わせて、溝を形成するピッチPの目標値を決定する。本例では、「扇風機弱」の気流に合わせて、ブロック隙間550のピッチP2の目標値を決定する。図12Dに示すように、ピッチP2は、一つのブロック隙間550の溝幅W2と、一つのブロック500の第二方向の長さ(即ち溝間隔G2)とを合わせた長さに等しい。
各ブロック500に設ける微細溝520の数量を決定する。各ブロック500に設ける微細溝520の数量は、少なくとも三つであり、より好適には五つ以上である。図10Dに示すように、本例では各ブロック500に五つの微細溝520が設けられる。
各微細溝520の溝幅W1を決定する。図10Dに示すように、一つのピッチP1には、一つの微細溝520と一つの凸部530とが第二方向に並んで配置される。ここで、溝幅W1が相対的に大きく、且つ溝間隔G1が相対的に小さいほうが、ブロック500の傾斜面510における微細溝520の割合が増えるため、流体の流れに対する摩擦抵抗を抑制しやすい。かかる観点から、溝幅W1は溝間隔G1よりも大きい。換言すると、複数の微細溝520の各々における第二方向の幅は、複数の凸部530の各々における第二方向の幅より大きい。
H=H´*v/u ・・・ (数2)
(数2)において、H´は高さHの無次元化されたものである。v及びuは、(数1)と同様に、動粘度係数及び摩擦速度である。
溝のアスペクト比(即ち、高さH/溝幅W)は、流体抵抗低減の観点から0.5~0.7の範囲である。
上記のように微細溝520の数量、溝幅W1、溝間隔G1、壁幅G10が決定されると、ブロック500の第二方向の長さ(即ち溝間隔G2)を算出できる。図10Cに示すように、本例では、ブロック500に設けられる五つの微細溝520と六つの凸部530に対応して、溝間隔G2が80(μm)に決定される。
ブロック隙間550のアスペクト比(即ち、高さH2/溝幅W2)も、先述したように流体抵抗低減の観点から0.5~0.7であればよい。ここで、図10Eに示すように、ブロック500の上面は傾斜面510であるため、ブロック500の高さH2は第一方向に向かって増加する。これに伴い、ブロック隙間550のアスペクト比も、第一方向の上流側から下流側に向かって漸増する。つまり、ブロック隙間550は微細溝520とは異なり、第一方向に向かってアスペクト比が変化する。
図10Eに示すように、複数のブロック500のうちで第一方向に隣り合う二つのブロック500の間には、第二方向に延びる溝状の隙間540が形成される。第一方向に隣り合う二つのブロック500の間には、隙間540が設けられる。隙間540の溝幅W3と傾斜面510の高低差Sとが略等しい場合に、気流渦E(図9B参照)が効果的に生じやすい。例えば、溝幅W3が高低差Sの0.75~1.25倍の範囲にある場合、溝幅W3と高低差Sとが略等しい。
上述した第一~第七工程で決定された設計値(図10C参照)に基づき、複数のブロック500を二次元配置した表面加工構造201を作製する。このように作成された表面加工構造201では、複数の微細溝520は、二つの異なる流速のうちで相対的に速い第一流速に対応する第一ピッチで、ブロック500の上面に並ぶ。複数のブロック隙間550は、二つの異なる流速のうちで相対的に遅い第二流速に対応する第二ピッチで、ブロック500の上面に並ぶ。本例では、第一流速に対応する第一ピッチは、「扇風機強」の高速気流に対応するピッチP1である。第二流速に対応する第二ピッチは、「扇風機弱」の低速気流に対応するピッチP2である。
先述したように、主流ST1と副流ST2の安定化のため、各気流の運動量拡散を発生することが好ましい。この運動量拡散を発生させるために、主流ST1と副流ST2との流速差が大きいことが好ましい。これを実現するため、互いに隣り合うブロック500の上面とブロック隙間550の底面との高低差を大きくしてもよい。特に、ブロック隙間550とブロック500とは第二方向に並ぶため、ブロック500とブロック隙間550とが隣接する境界において、ブロック500の上面とブロック隙間550の底面との高低差を大きくしてもよい。
実施例2における表面加工構造201の設計例を説明する。図11Aは、実施例2に係る表面加工シート200の斜視図である。図11Bは、実施例2,3における表面加工シート200と対象流との関係を示す表である。図11Cは、実施例2,3に係る表面加工シート200の寸法を示す表である。以下では、実施例1と異なる点を説明する。
実施例1と同様に「扇風機強」の気流に合わせて、微細溝520のピッチP1の目標値が15~30(μm)の範囲であると算出される。
本例では、「扇風機中」の気流に合わせて、ブロック隙間550のピッチP2の目標値を決定する。この場合、(数1)のuは、「扇風機中」の流速10(m/s)である。これにより、図11Bに示すように、ピッチP2の目標値が22~45(μm)の範囲であると算出される。
実施例1と同様に、各ブロック500に五つの微細溝520が設けられる。
実施例1と同様に、微細溝520の数量、溝幅W1、溝間隔G1、壁幅G10が決定される(図11C参照)。微細溝520の溝形状は、実施例1と同様に角型である。
実施例1と同様に、ブロック500に設けられる五つの微細溝520と六つの凸部530に対応して、溝間隔G2が80(μm)に決定される。しかしながら、この溝間隔G2は、ピッチP2の目標値である22~45(μm)より大きい。このように二つの対象流の流速差が相対的に小さい場合、溝間隔G2(即ち、ブロック500の大きさ)がピッチP2の目標値を超えてしまい、ブロック隙間550をピッチP2の目標値内に配置できない場合がある。
実施例1と同様に、ブロック隙間550のアスペクト比が第一方向に向かって増加し、且つ0.5~0.7の範囲を跨ぐように、ブロック500の高さH2が決定されればよい。
本例では、溝幅W3が高低差S(35μm)と略等しい30(μm)に決定される。
上述した第一~第七工程で決定された設計値(図11C参照)に基づき、複数のブロック500を二次元配置した表面加工構造201を作製する。本例の表面加工構造201では、複数の微細溝520は第一流速に対応する第一ピッチで並び、複数のブロック隙間550は第二流速に対応する第二ピッチで並ぶ。第一流速に対応する第一ピッチは、「扇風機強」の高速気流に対応するピッチP1である。第二流速に対応する第二ピッチは、「扇風機中」の中速気流に対応するピッチP2である。この場合、表面加工構造201は実施例1と同様に、流れ込む空気の幅広い流速域に対して摩擦低減効果を発揮できる。なお、ブロック500の端部設計は、実施例1と同様である。
実施例3における表面加工構造201の設計例を説明する。図12Aは、実施例3に係る表面加工シート200の斜視図である。図12Bは、実施例3に係る表面加工シート200の正面図である。図12Cは、実施例3のブロック500を下流側から視た拡大斜視図である。以下では、実施例1と異なる点を説明する。
