  • Patent number: 6908287
    Abstract: Disclosed is an axial flow fan capable of achieving reduction of noise while having a high blowing efficiency compared to the power consumption of a motor adapted to drive the axial flow fan. The axial flow fan includes a hub, and a plurality of blades extending radially around the hub. Each blade has a sweep angle varying gradually from a backward angle at a root of the blade connected to the hub to a forward angle at a tip of the blade, while having a flow dispersion region having a plurality of regions where the sweep angle is alternately changed, at a region defined between a backward sweep angle region at the root of the blade and a forward sweep angle region at the tip of the blade. Each blade has a longitudinal cross section curved to have a wave structure between the root of the blade and the tip of the blade. The axial flow fan may further include a fan band connecting tips of the blades.
