  • Publication number: 20120167613
    Abstract: Provided are an axial flow fan and an air conditioner outdoor unit including the axial flow fan. The axial flow fan includes a hub and blades disposed on an outer surface of the hub. Each of the blades satisfies that a shortest distance measured from an imaginary line (L2) passing through a center of the hub to a front end of an outer edge of the blade is greater than a shortest distance measured from the imaginary line (L2) to a rear end of the outer edge of the blade. The front end of the outer edge of the blade is a leading end in a rotation direction of the blade, and the rear end of the outer edge of the blade is a trailing end in the rotation direction of the blade. Owing to the shape of the blade, noise can be reduced while increasing the flowrate of air.
