[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means intended to limit the present application and its application or use.

[0029] Embodiment 1:

[0030] The fan blade top micro-raised structure comprises a fan blade hub 1, a plurality of blades 2 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the fan blade hub 1, a plurality of blade protrusions 3 are arranged on each of the blades 2, and a silent ring 4 is arranged on the edge of the blade 2.

[0031] The fan hub 1 has a diameter of 28 mm, the fan blade outer diameter is 64 mm, and the thickness of a single blade 2 is 0.8 mm.

[0032] The design of the rounded edges helps to reduce airflow separation at the protrusions, guides the airflow more smoothly around the protrusions, avoids sudden flow changes, reduces the formation and intensity of vortices, reduces high-frequency noise caused by sharp edges, reduces the overall noise level of the fan, and improves air volume and fan performance.

[0033] The blade protrusion 3 includes a first protrusion 31, a second protrusion 32 and a third protrusion 33. Each blade protrusion 3 is composed of four arc curves. The size parameters of the second protrusion 32 and the third protrusion 33 are consistent. The protrusion heights of the first protrusion 31, the second protrusion 32 and the third protrusion 33 are 0.5 mm.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the four end points of the curve of the blade protrusion 3 are the intersection points 5 of the circular references of different diameters and the front and rear edge curves of the blade 2. The circular reference is formed by the central arc curve of each protrusion offset by a preset distance of 0.1 mm toward the tip and the root of the blade. The diameter of the central arc curve of the first protrusion 31 is 57.5 mm, the diameter of the central arc curve of the second protrusion 32 is 60.5 mm, and the diameter of the central arc curve of the third protrusion 33 is 63 mm. The first protrusion 31 includes a first protrusion first curve 311, a first protrusion second curve 312, a first protrusion third curve 313 and a first protrusion fourth curve 314. The diameter of the first protrusion first curve 311 is 2.58 mm, the second protrusion 32 includes the second protrusion first curve 321, the second protrusion second curve 322, the second protrusion third curve 323 and the second protrusion fourth curve 324, the diameter of the second protrusion first curve 321 is 6.4 mm, the arc diameters of the first protrusion second curve 312 and the second protrusion second curve 322 are 11.4 mm, the distance between the arcs of the first protrusion third curve 313 and the second protrusion third curve 323 is 7.8 mm, and the arc diameters of the first protrusion fourth curve 314 and the second protrusion fourth curve 324 are 13 mm.

[0035] The main purpose of adding the blade protrusion 3 is to change the airflow pattern. When the airflow encounters the tiny blade protrusion 3, it will be guided to bypass the blade protrusion 3, thereby changing the originally straight flow path. The airflow is deflected and separated when encountering the blade protrusion 3, reducing the strong vortex formed in the gap between the blade top and the upper cover, and decomposing the large vortex into small vortices. The intensity and influence range of these small vortices are relatively small, which significantly reduces the energy loss and noise caused by the vortex.

[0036] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the positions of several blade protrusions 3 are determined according to the actual direction of the flow field at the gap between the fan blade top and the upper cover. When the airflow hits the blade protrusion 3, the large vortex is decomposed into small vortices.

[0037] Embodiment 2:

[0038] Based on the first embodiment, an implementation of a blade 2 is provided.

[0039] A layer of silent ring 4 is arranged on the edge of the original blade 2, and the silent ring 4 is a silencer.

[0040] Different from the first embodiment, the provision of the silent ring 4 can reduce the noise through the blade protrusion 3 in the first embodiment, and at the same time absorb part of the noise through the silent ring 4, so that the sound energy transmitted through the silencer is effectively absorbed into the fibrous absorption material and converted into heat energy.

[0041] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement, etc. between the components in a certain posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. It is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present application.

[0042] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0043] The above is only a preferred implementation of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present application. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
