  • Patent number: 10859093
    Abstract: A blower includes an impeller rotatable about a central axis, a motor that drives the impeller, and a housing that accommodates the impeller and the motor. The impeller includes a plurality of vanes arrayed in a circumferential direction and a flange in which the plurality of vanes are provided at an outer circumferential edge on a radially outer side. The housing includes a first housing that faces a vane lower end surface located on an axial-direction lower side of the vane with a gap interposed therebetween. The vane lower end surface includes a first vane end surface in which a shortest distance to the first housing in an axial direction increases toward the radially outer side.

  • Patent number: 10677258
    Abstract: The blowing device includes an impeller that is rotatable about a center axis and a motor that drives the impeller. The impeller includes a plurality of vanes arranged in a circumferential direction, a flange in which the plurality of vanes are provided at the outer circumferential edge in a radial-direction outside, and a plate-shaped first shielding unit located between the vanes adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction. The first shielding unit is connected to a rear edge surface on an opposite side to the rotation direction of the vane and an outside surface located on the radial-direction outside of the flange.

  • Publication number: 20180238338
    Abstract: A blower apparatus includes an impeller arranged to be capable of rotating about a central axis extending in a vertical direction, and a motor arranged to drive the impeller. The impeller includes a plurality of blade portions arranged in a circumferential direction, and a flange portion arranged to have the blade portions arranged on an outer peripheral portion thereof on a radially outer side. At least one of the blade portions includes a shoulder portion at an end portion thereof on a radially inner side and on one axial side. The shoulder portion includes a first end surface arranged to face to the one axial side, a second end surface arranged to face to the one axial side and arranged on another axial side of the first end surface, and a third end surface arranged to join an inner end portion of the first end surface on the radially inner side and an outer end portion of the second end surface on the radially outer side to each other.
