[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application.

[0032] It should be noted that in the description of the present application, the terms "inner", "outer" and other terms indicating the direction or positional relationship are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0033] In addition, it should also be noted that in the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or it can be integrally connected. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0034] The noise and vibration of the fan of the existing air conditioner in the running process are obvious. The present application provides a fan and an air conditioner comprising the fan. By setting a driving motor and a plurality of blades, the plurality of blades are arranged in a circumferential direction on the output end of the driving motor, and can rotate around the output end under the driving of the driving motor. The opposite side edges of the blade are respectively set as a curved structure and a serrated structure, and a certain angle is formed between the blade and the rotation plane of the fan. The curved edge can increase the air suction efficiency and the air suction amount of the fan, and the serrated edge can significantly reduce the turbulence generated when the air flows through the blade during high-speed rotation of the blade. The differential pressure distribution of the tail of the blade is optimized, the wind pressure resistance and the aerodynamic noise are reduced, and the running efficiency and stability of the fan are improved.

[0035] Since the fan is widely used in the air supply system or cooling system of various devices, such as air conditioners, automobiles and the like, it will produce noise during high-speed rotation, which makes the user feel uncomfortable. Therefore, how to reduce the noise of the fan has been a problem that manufacturers need to solve.

[0036] The running noise of the fan is mainly composed of mechanical noise and air flow noise, and the scheme aims to solve how to reduce the air flow noise. Specifically, when the blades of the fan rotate at high speed, the surrounding air is stirred, causing irregular air flow, air-air interaction and air-blade interaction, thereby generating air flow noise, and as the fan speed increases, the air-blade interaction becomes more intense, resulting in more obvious noise.

[0037] Based on this, as Figure 1 shown, the fan of the utility model includes a driving motor and a plurality of blades 1, the plurality of blades 1 are arranged on the output shaft of the driving motor in a circumferential direction, and can rotate under the driving of the driving motor, thereby realizing air suction to suck air from the air inlet side of the fan and blow out from the air outlet side of the fan, forming an air flow.

[0038] Preferably, the blade 1 is arranged as an irregular quadrilateral structure, including oppositely arranged blade 1 leading edges and blade 1 trailing edges, when the fan rotates at high speed, the blade 1 rotates towards the direction of the blade 1 leading edge, and the blade 1 leading edge is used to cut the air to split the air and make the air flow from both sides of the blade 1. Since the blade 1 and the rotation plane of the fan maintain a certain angle, that is, the surface of the blade 1 presents a tendency to tilt from the air inlet side to the air outlet side along the direction from the leading edge to the trailing edge, so that the blade 1 leading edge is at the air inlet side and the blade 1 trailing edge is at the air outlet side. In this way, the air can be pressed into the air inlet side by the high-speed rotating blade 1 and pressed out from the air outlet side, thereby forming a stable air flow.

[0039] It should be noted that in actual application, the angle between the blade 1 and the rotation plane can be flexibly set by those skilled in the art, which can be between 0° and 90°, as long as it can produce a suction effect on the air. This flexible adjustment and change does not deviate from the principles and scope of the utility model, and should be limited within the protection scope of the utility model. In this application, the angle is preferably set to 30° to 45°, so that the air inlet efficiency and noise level of the fan in this angle range reach a better balance, which helps to control the noise while obtaining larger air volume and air speed.

[0040] In order to improve the air suction efficiency of the fan and reduce the running noise of the fan, the blade 1 leading edge in the present application is arranged as a smooth curve structure 11, which can increase the air inlet channel and improve the air inlet efficiency on the one hand, and can ensure the axial flow of the air flow and increase the air supply speed and air supply distance on the other hand.

[0041] The rear edge of the blade 1 is provided with a sawtooth structure 12, when the blade 1 rotates at a high speed, the air flow enters the pressure surface of the blade 1 from the front edge of the blade 1 and then flows out from the rear edge of the blade 1, when the air flow slides at a high speed through the rear edge of the blade 1, due to the pressure difference and flow direction change, noise is generated. Therefore, the sawtooth structure 12 can generate vortex flow when the air flows at a high speed, ensure that the air flow speed distribution is more uniform, optimize the pressure difference distribution of the tail of the blade 1, help to reduce the impact and vibration between the fan blade 1 and the gas, and further reduce the generation of noise and vibration, and achieve the purpose of noise reduction.

[0042] It should be noted that, compared with the prior art, the number, tooth height and tooth width of the sawtooth structure 12 in the scheme are all optimized after repeated experiments, and the noise reduction performance of the blade 1 is further improved.

[0043] Preferably, as shown in Figure 1 The number of teeth of the sawtooth structure 12 is not less than 5, and the tooth height of the sawtooth structure 12 is not less than twice the tooth width.

[0044] Further preferably, the number of teeth of the sawtooth structure 12 is 10, the tooth height is 10mm, and the tooth width is 3mm. In this way, the vortex intensity is increased, and the noise reduction effect is further improved.

[0045] In addition, the fan of the utility model also adopts some other noise reduction measures, such as the number, spacing and material of the blade 1.

[0046] Preferably, as shown in Figure 1 The number of blades 1 of the utility model is set to an odd number, and is not less than 9. In this case, the number of blades 1 is set to 9 or 11, on the one hand, the symmetrical arrangement of the blades 1 can be avoided, thereby reducing the resonance and vibration of the blades 1, reducing the noise, and improving the stability and service life of the fan; on the other hand, the fan with odd number of blades 1 can form a reasonable power system in mechanics, saving power and energy; on the other hand, increasing the number of blades 1 of the fan can also improve the air volume and air pressure, making the air cutting more detailed, and the air outlet more soft and uniform, while reducing the generation of turbulent flow and sound wave, and reducing the noise.

[0047] Preferably, the distance between the adjacent two blades 1 of the utility model is not less than 20mm. Through such setting, the air flow disturbance caused by too small distance between the blades 1 can be prevented, the friction and noise on the surface of the blade 1 are reduced, and finally the purpose of noise reduction is achieved.

[0048] Preferably, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the fan further comprises a fixed ring 2, the radius of the fixed ring 2 is equal to the rotating radius of the fan, the fixed ring 2 is installed at the outermost side of the fan blade, and the edge of each blade 1 away from the rotating center is fixedly connected with the inner side of the fixed ring 2. Thus, the fan forms a whole, the overall strength of the fan is improved, the vibration and noise in the high-speed rotating process of the fan are reduced, and the stability of the fan is improved.

[0049] A fixed disc 3 is further arranged at the center of the fan, the fixed disc 3 is coaxially connected with the output end of the driving motor, the edge of each blade 1 close to the rotating center is fixedly connected with the fixed disc 3, all the blades 1 are fixed between the fixed disc 3 and the fixed ring 2, the stable connection between the blades 1 and the driving motor is facilitated, the fan is also convenient to disassemble, and the overall strength of the fan is further improved.

[0050] The material of the blade 1, the outer ring and the fixed disc 3 is preferably hard plastic, so that the strength and light weight of the fan are effectively considered.

[0051] In addition, the air conditioner further provided on the basis of the above-mentioned fan has the technical effects of the above-mentioned fan, compared with the air conditioner before improvement, the air conditioner of the utility model effectively reduces the noise and vibration while ensuring the air outlet efficiency, and improves the quietness of the air conditioner.

[0052] Therefore, the technical scheme of the utility model has been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to the related technical features without departing from the principles of the utility model, and the technical schemes after the changes or replacements will all fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
