Abstract: Provided is a waterproof fan which includes: a rotor; a stator including a winding; a circuit board supplying power to the winding; a resin frame including an undersurface located on one side of a rotation axis of a rotor, and a housing space opening on the other side of the rotation axis, to house the circuit board; a waterproofing resin portion covering the stator and closing an opening of the housing space; a bearing rotatably supporting the rotating shaft portion; and a cylindrical metal bearing holder extending along the rotation axis and supporting the bearing, in which the frame includes a tubular holder protection portion extending from the undersurface to the other side of the rotation axis and covering at least a part of an outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder, and the holder protection portion separates the stator from the bearing holder.

Abstract: A waterproof blower includes a casing and at least four drain holes placed along a circumferential direction of the casing in the outer peripheral wall portion, in the first side wall portion, or in the second side wall portion of the casing. The at least four drain holes communicate with the inside and the outside of the casing. The at least four drain holes each have an opening on an inner side of the casing. The openings of adjacent two drain holes of the drain holes as viewed in a direction of a rotation axis of the impeller are placed at positions where a straight line as a chord linking portions, which are located on the outermost peripheral side of the casing, of opening edges at the shortest distance hardly intersects with the impeller.

Abstract: A housing of a fan motor according to the invention includes: board members provided at an interval in a rotational axis direction of a fan; a coupling portion which couples the board members to each other; a protrusion portion which is protruded toward a space other than an air course from the coupling portion, the space being between the board members other than the air courses; and a fixing portion which fixes a terminal that is provided in the protrusion portion and is connected to a wiring from a power source that supplies electricity to a motor. Other member, which crosses in an extending direction of the terminal from the protrusion portion to an edge portion of the board member, is not provided.

Abstract: A bidirectional axial fan device includes: a moving blade member with a plurality of vanes; and a casing that includes a mounting portion, a frame, and a plurality of spokes, a motor being mounted to the mounting portion, the frame forming a ventilation hole. The plurality of spokes couple the mounting portion to the frame at an exhaust air side during a normal rotation of the motor. An inner peripheral surface of the frame has a multiple stage shape, in which a part on the exhaust air side during the normal rotation has a diameter larger than a diameter of a part on an air intake side during the normal rotation, such that intervals between tops on the exhaust air side during the normal rotation at outer peripheral edges of the plurality of vanes and the inner peripheral surface of the frame are expanded.

Abstract: A support frame portion is divided into a first support-frame half-portion and a second support-frame half-portion along a virtual reference dividing plane. A raised portion is integrally formed with each of side walls in a pair of the first web half-portion, projecting toward the second web half-portion beyond the virtual reference dividing plane. A raised portion is integrally formed with each of side walls in a pair of the second web half-portion, projecting toward the first web half-portion beyond the virtual reference dividing plane. A recessed portion is formed in each of the side walls in the pair of the first web half-portion, and is fitted with the raised portion corresponding thereto of the second web half-portion. A recessed portion is formed in each of the side walls in the pair of the second web half-portion, and is fitted with the raised portion corresponding thereto of the first web half-portion.

Abstract: A counter-rotating axial-flow fan is provided that is capable of increasing effect of cooling a stator. One or more through-holes 83 penetrating support frame bodies (21, 75) in the axial direction are formed in support frame bodies 21 and 75. One or more vent holes 57a for introducing air, sucked from a suction port 19, into a cup-like member 51 are formed in a bottom wall portion 57 of a cup-like member 51 of a first impeller 9. One or more vent holes 111a for discharging air, introduced into an internal space of a second motor 61, to the outside are formed in a bottom wall portion 111 of a cup-like member 105 of a second impeller 63.

Abstract: A counter-rotating axial-flow fan includes a housing that is constituted from a first divided housing unit and a second divided housing unit. Engaging members and first stopper portions are integrally formed with a first flange portion of the first divided housing unit. The first stopper portions are arranged adjacent to the engaging members. Engaged members and second stopper portions are integrally formed with a second flange portion of the second divided housing unit. The second stopper portions are arranged adjacent to the engaged members. The second stopper portions have leading ends that are abutted onto leading ends of the first stopper portions when the engaging members are completely engaged with the engaged members. Thus, damage of the first and second divided housing units is prevented when the first and second divided housing units are coupled.

Abstract: There is provided a fan motor in which an increase in the temperature of windings thereof is surpressed, thereby achieving a long life and high performance. Vent holes 33 for introducing air into a cup-like member 9 are formed in a bottom wall section 9b of a rotor 6. Air flowing direction adjusting ribs 37, which are arranged at intervals in a peripheral direction and each of which extends in a radial direction, are integrally provided on the inner surface of the bottom wall section 9 so that air flown out of exits 33b of the vent holes 33 is directed toward windings 3. In addition to the air flowing direction adjusting ribs 37, a plurality of air stirring ribs 39 for stirring the air inside the cup-like member 9 is arranged on the inner surface of the bottom wall section 9.
