Abstract: The disclosure relates to an electric blower apparatus having a blower spiral and a fan wheel rotating in the blower spiral. For driving the fan wheel, an electric motor is disposed on an axial end face of the blower spiral, the drive shaft of the electric motor protruding through a shaft opening in the axial end face and into the blower spiral and being connected to the fan wheel. Configured in the axial end face of the blower spiral is a cooling air opening by way of which a cooling air flow that flows about the electric motor is routed. To guarantee sufficient cooling of the driving electric motor at a minimal consumption of electric energy, it is provided that the cooling air opening is disposed in a pressure region of the blower spiral such that the cooling air flow to the electric motor is a pressurized air flow.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an electric blower apparatus having a blower spiral which has a first axial end wall, a second axial end wall and a blower air outlet. An electric motor which drives a fan wheel rotating in the blower spiral is held on the first axial end wall, the fan wheel inducting ambient air by way of an intake opening in the second axial end wall. A cover element, the cover surface thereof being configured so as to be larger than the air inlet surface of the intake opening, is disposed in front of the intake opening. To induct a large quantity of ambient air with little noise, it is provided that the cover element is configured as a cover plate, wherein an annular gap which forms the intake channel for the direct access of ambient air is configured between the plate edge and the blower spiral.

Abstract: A blower unit for a portable handheld blower apparatus has a housing section and a tubular receiving space, formed in the housing section, with a first axial end and a second axial end and with a longitudinal center axis. Arranged in the receiving space of the housing section is an axial blower for generating a blower air flow, the axial blower being driven by a drive motor. The receiving space has an intake opening at its first axial end and a discharge opening at its second axial end. In order to reduce operating noise, an air guide plate is arranged at an axial distance in front of the intake opening, the air guide plate having external dimensions that are greater than the external dimensions of the intake opening. An annular gap that supplies intake air is formed between the air guide plate and an outer periphery of the housing section.
