Benefits of technology

[0014]With the structure of the axial flow fan according to preferred embodiments of the present invention, the area of the circuit board can be increased, and thus an increased number of electronic components can be mounted thereon.

Problems solved by technology

This causes increase in the amount of rise in temperature of electronic components on the circuit board or coils of the armature inside the motor, which may affect the performance of the electronic components and the operation of the motor.
With the sizes of the conventional circuit boards, however, it is not possible to ensure sufficient space for mounting electronic components to be necessitated in responding to the future demand, for the mounting space for the electronic components is too small.

Abstract

An axial flow fan includes a housing, a plurality of rotor vanes that rotate inside the housing, and a plurality of sheet-like stationary vanes that are disposed below the rotor vanes and fixed to the housing. The axial flow fan includes a motor that is connected to the rotor vanes and rotates the rotor vanes about a central axis. Each stationary vane has a projecting portion projecting axially upward from a sidewall of a base portion. The projecting portion of each stationary vane has an inner side surface on the central axis side. When a stator part is attached to the housing, the outer side surface of a circuit board radially meets the inner side surfaces. The circuit board axially meets the axially upper end surface of the sidewall of the base portion.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an electric axial flow fan used for sending air.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Axial flow fans are conventionally used in electronic devices for sending air to cool heat-generating electronic components so as to suppress temperature rise in the devices. Such an axial flow fan creates an air flow by rotating a plurality of rotor vanes by an electric motor. In order to deal with the increase in the amount of heat generation attendant on the performance improvement of electronic devices, demand is growing for high-speed rotation of such motors.[0005]On the other hand, drive current must be increased in order to rotate the motor at high speeds. This causes increase in the amount of rise in temperature of electronic components on the circuit board or coils of the armature inside the motor, which may affect the performance of the electronic components and the operation of the mot...
