Patent number: 9518586Abstract: There is disclosed an inline axial flow fan including at least first and second axial flow fans and arranged in an inline manner along an axial direction of a rotational shaft of a rotational driving apparatus. A first flow control grid is arranged in a gas discharge side of the first axial flow fan, and a second flow control grid is arranged in a gas discharge side of the second axial flow fan. The first flow control grid has a stator blade having a smooth circular arc leading edge shape matching a circular arc shape of the stator blade of the first axial flow fan and a trailing edge shape extending in parallel with a gas flow direction. The second flow control grid has a stator blade having a smooth circular arc shape matching a circular arc shape of the stator blade of the second axial flow fan.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2013Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: SANYO DENKI CO., LTD.Inventors: Jun Chieh Yen, Honami Oosawa

Patent number: 8807919Abstract: A counter-rotating axial flow fan with reduced noise at the target operating point achieved without modifying a front impeller, a rear impeller, or a middle stationary portion is provided. An annular rib including a projecting surface for generating turbulent flow is formed on an inner wall portion of a casing at a position off from the middle stationary portion to a side of the rear impeller, the projecting surface extending radially inwardly of the inner wall portion and extending continuously in the circumferential direction of the inner wall portion. A fluid striking the projecting surface for generating turbulent flow is partially disturbed to form a turbulent flow before entering an area in which the rear impeller is provided. The turbulent flow suppresses flow separation of a fluid flowing along the surfaces of rear blades of the rear impeller from the surfaces of the rear blades.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2010Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignees: The University of Tokyo, Fujitsu Limited, Sanyo Denki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chisachi Kato, Atsushi Yamaguchi, Akira Ueda, Kazuhiro Nitta, Akihiro Otsuka, Sr., Tadashi Katsui, Masahiro Suzuki, Yoshihiko Aizawa, Honami Oosawa

Publication number: 20140105763Abstract: An axial-flow fan according to the present disclosure can increase the amount of the airflow and simultaneously reduce the noise level. A plurality of stationary blades 11A to 11D are curved, in a convex manner, toward a rotating direction of an impeller. The plurality of stationary blades 11A to 11D are generally inclined so that discharge-side edge portions 11d thereof are located more forward than suction-side edge portions 11c thereof in the rotating direction. An inclination angle ?4 of each of the plurality of stationary blades 11A to 11D in the vicinity of the external end portion 11a is larger than the inclination angle ?3 in the vicinity of the internal end portion 11b. The inclination angle is gradually changed from the vicinity of the external end portion 11a toward the vicinity of the internal end portion 11b.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2013Publication date: April 17, 2014Applicant: Sanyo Denki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Katsumichi Ishihara, Honami Oosawa, Masashi Miyazawa, Tomoaki Ikeda
