Publication number: 20230272941Abstract: An air circulator includes a blower unit that is provided with an airflow opening on a front side of the blower unit. A grill is provided in the airflow opening, and is provided with airflow guide blades in a spiral manner. The air circulator also includes a controller that achieves a rhythm air in which weak wind and strong wind are switched over by controlling a rotational speed of a motor of the blower unit. The grill is provided with plural airflow guide blades in a spiral manner. Inner end portions of the airflow guide blades closer to the center of the spiral of the airflow guide blades are protruded from outer end portions if the airflow guide blades in an airflow direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Applicant: Iris Ohyama Inc.Inventors: Hideki YAMAMOTO, Kazuhito FUKUMASU, Hiroshi ISHIKAWA
