Patent number: 10711790Abstract: A serial axial flow fan includes a first axial flow fan, a second axial flow fan, and a current plate. Hollow cells of the current plate are partitioned by a lattice-shaped partition, penetrate in an axial direction, and are uniformly two-dimensionally arranged at an outer edge. An axially lower end portion of a first housing of the first axial flow fan and an axially upper end portion of a second housing are directly coupled to each other, and the current plate is provided in a coupling unit of the first housing and the second housing. An axially lower end portion of the first tubular unit of the first housing is axially opposed to an axially upper end portion of the second tubular unit of the second housing with the current plate interposed therebetween. A recess recessed on an opposite side to the coupling unit in the axial direction is provided on an axially end surface of at least one of an axially lower end surface of the first tubular unit and an axially upper end surface of the second tubular unit.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: NIDEC CORPORATIONInventors: Shogo Hakozaki, Tsukasa Takaoka, Ryota Yamagata, Shoki Yamazaki

Patent number: 10323655Abstract: A fan motor includes a motor, an impeller and a housing. The housing includes an inner wall portion, a silencer portion, and a communicating opening. The inner wall portion extends along a rotation axis to assume a tubular shape, and houses at least a portion of the impeller therein. The silencer portion includes a portion radially outside of the inner wall portion, and defines a silencing space between the inner wall portion and the silencer portion. The communicating opening brings a space inside of the inner wall portion into communication with the silencing space. A portion of the communicating opening is defined by an end portion of the inner wall portion on an inlet side. The silencing space covers only a portion of the circumferential extent of the inner wall portion. This allows the silencing space to be arranged in a dead space around the inner wall portion.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: NIDEC CORPORATIONInventors: Kumiko Arima, Shigekatsu Matsuda, Takamasa Yamashita, Yuuichi Sakuma, Ryota Yamagata

Patent number: 10184492Abstract: A fan includes a motor, an impeller fixed to the motor, and a housing including a cylindrical inner circumferential surface. The impeller includes a plurality of blades extending radially outward. The housing is arranged to surround outer peripheries of the motor and the impeller. The housing includes an intake port which is an upper opening of the housing, an upper edge which surrounds the intake port, an exhaust port which is a lower opening of the housing, a lower edge which surrounds the exhaust port. An axial distance from an upper end of each of the blades to an upper edge is ½ times or more of an axial distance from the upper end of each of the blades to a lower end thereof. This makes it possible to restrain an air flow having a swirling component from passing through the intake port.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2018Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: NIDEC CORPORATIONInventors: Ryota Yamagata, Tsukasa Takaoka, Ryota Hayashida
