Publication number: 20230213036Abstract: A blower device includes a pair of fans, a housing, and a lid. The pair of fans generates an airflow on one side in the axial direction along the central axis and is coaxially arranged. The housing has a tubular shape extending along the central axis, accommodates the pair of fans, and has two end surfaces opened in the axial direction. The lids cover axial end surfaces of the housing and provide ventilation. The lid includes an annular portion in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the housing and including a through hole penetrating in the radial direction. The housing includes an engagement protrusion that protrudes radially inward from the inner peripheral surface and engages with the periphery of the through hole.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2022Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventor: Yuta TOKUNO
