Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of centrifugal fans, in particular to a novel centrifugal fan. Background Art

[0002] A centrifugal fan is a common aerodynamic device. It generates centrifugal force through rotating blades to send gas to the outlet and is widely used in multiple fields. A centrifugal fan is needed in automotive seats to achieve the ventilation and heat dissipation operations of the seats. The working principle of the centrifugal fan in automotive seats is similar to that of ordinary centrifugal fans. When the fan starts, the motor drives the impeller to rotate. The curved design of the blades enables air to be quickly sucked into the fan interior. As the impeller rotates, the air is pushed towards the outlet of the fan under the action of centrifugal force, forming a strong air current. These air currents are then introduced into the ventilation layer of the seat and blown towards the driver and passengers through the small holes on the seat surface to achieve the ventilation and heat dissipation of the seat.
