  • Patent number: 10550855
    Abstract: An axial flow fan has a boss portion rotationally driven by a motor; a plurality of rotary blades extending radially from a periphery of the boss portion and configured to force air to flow in a direction of a rotation axis of the motor; and a bellmouth accommodating the plurality of rotary blades, the bellmouth comprising a suction-side round portion having a curved surface expanded in a radial direction of the bellmouth, and a discharge-side round portion having a curved surface expanded in the radial direction of the bellmouth, the plurality of rotary blades each being entirely inclined to have an outer peripheral portion in a downstream side in an airflow direction, entirety of the outer peripheral portion being located on the downstream side in the air flow direction with respect to the suction-side round portion.

  • Patent number: 10208770
    Abstract: An axial flow fan improves air capacity and static pressure characteristics, and can ease stress at a leading edge portion of a blade base, even when a shape for noise reduction is adopted. An axial flow fan includes a boss portion and rotor blades. A rotor blade is segmented into a first area extending from the boss portion toward the outer peripheral side, and a second area connected to the first area and extending from the first area to the outermost periphery of the rotor blade. The distribution of a forward sweep angle varies quadratically in the first area, and the maximum forward sweep angle in the first area is not larger than the forward sweep angle in the second area. The distribution of chord-pitch ratio varies in a curved manner from the base as the minimum value in the first area, and is linear in the second area.

  • Patent number: 5587467
    Abstract: Polysaccharide derivative molecules are crosslinked exclusively among themselves on a support such as silica gel with the use of a polyfunctional crosslinking agent to immobilize the polysaccharide derivative on the support. The separating agent for optical isomers produced by the method has a high solvent resistance and, therefore, is most suitable as a separating agent for optical resolution.
