DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The application will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the related application, and are not a limitation on the application. In addition, it should be noted that only the parts related to the application are shown in the drawings for ease of description.

[0035] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0036] Embodiment one

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 A flat fan with circumferential air outlet characteristics, comprising:

[0038] The housing assembly 9 has a first side wall 10, and the first side wall 10 is provided with an air inlet 11 communicating with the mounting space, and the circumferential side wall of the housing assembly 9 is provided with a first air outlet 12 communicating with the mounting space;

[0039] The driving member 13 is arranged inside the mounting space, and the driving member 13 has a driving end;

[0040] The impeller body 1 is circular in structure, rotatably arranged in the mounting space, and has a second side wall 2 in annular structure. The impeller body 1 also has a third side wall 8 in circular structure, which is arranged opposite and coaxially with the second side wall 2. The impeller body 1 is provided with a mounting portion 3, which is coaxially fixedly connected with the third side wall 8 and can be integrally formed. The mounting portion 3 is used to connect the driving end of the driving member 13. The second side wall 2 and the mounting portion 3 form an air inlet space 4 therebetween, which is in communication with the air inlet 11. The circumferential side wall of the impeller body 1 is uniformly provided with a second air outlet 6 in communication with the inside of the impeller body 1, and the second air outlet 6 is in communication with the first air outlet 12.

[0041] Optionally, the driving member 13 is an electric motor.

[0042] Therefore, the shell assembly includes an upper shell and a lower shell connected by fixing nails to form a mounting space. The edge shapes of the upper shell and the lower shell can be the same or different. The lower shell can be a flat plate structure with a driving member 13 in the middle or a recess in the middle, and the driving member 13 is arranged in the recess. The edge of the recess extends along the radial direction of the impeller body 1 and beyond the edge of the upper shell. The part of the lower shell beyond the edge of the upper shell can be used to fix the fan. The blade structure is arranged inside the impeller body 1 and between the second side wall 2 and the third side wall 8. The blade structure is coaxially arranged with the impeller body 1. The impeller body 1 is rotatably arranged in the mounting space and is driven to rotate by the driving member 13. The external air can enter the mounting space from the air inlet 11, enter the air inlet space, and then be transported along the radial direction of the impeller body 1 from the first air outlet 12 to the second air outlet 6, and then be discharged to the outside from the second air outlet 6.

[0043] The blade structure has a plurality of blades 5 arranged circumferentially, and each blade 5 is different.

[0044] Specifically, as shown in Figures 5 to 8 At least two blades 5 have different design angles. The design angle is the angle between the line connecting the outermost end of one blade 5 and the center of the impeller body 1 and the line connecting the outermost end of the blade 5 adjacent to it in the counterclockwise direction and the center of the impeller body 1.

[0045] Further, the number of blades 5 is a prime number. The blade structure has a first symmetry line 14 along its radial direction. The blade structure also has a first blade 7 with a first design angle. The first design angle is the angle between the line connecting the outermost end of the first blade 7 and the center of the impeller body 1 and the line connecting the outermost end of the blade 5 adjacent to it in the counterclockwise direction and the center. The first symmetry line 14 bisects the first design angle.

[0046] Since the number of the blades 5 is a prime number, the first symmetry line 14 bisects the first design angle, and therefore the remaining blades 5 are symmetric about the first symmetry line 14, and the number of the blades 5 on both sides of the first symmetry line 14 is even;

[0047] Further, the design angles of the two blades 5 opposite about the first symmetry line 14 are similar or equal, and when the design angles of the two blades 5 opposite about the first symmetry line 14 are similar, the difference between the design angles of the two blades 5 is ±5°;

[0048] For example, when the number of the blades 5 is 17, the design angle of the first blade 7 is Ω°, the design angles of the eight blades 5 on one side of the first blade 7 are κ°, ρ°, α°, β°, γ°, ε°, η°, and μ° in sequence, and the design angles of the eight blades 5 on the other side of the first blade 7 are κ1°, ρ1°, α1°, β1°, γ1°, ε1°, η1°, and μ1° in sequence, wherein the blades 5 with the design angles of κ° and κ1° are opposite about the first symmetry line, κ° and κ1° are similar or equal, and when κ° and κ1° are similar, the difference between κ° and κ1° is ±5.

[0049] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the design angle of each blade 5 is different.

[0050] Embodiment Two

[0051] The design height of the blade 5 is different;

[0052] Specifically, the design height of at least two blades 5 is different, as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 The design height of the blade 5 is the distance between the plane where the end of the blade 5 away from the third side wall 8 is located and the plane where the third side wall 8 is located;

[0053] Further, the plurality of blades 5 are arranged in multiple groups in the circumferential direction, and the blade structure further has a second blade 15. For example, when the number of the blades 5 is 17, the 17 blades 5 are arranged in three groups in the circumferential direction, each group including five blades 5, the design height of the five blades 5 gradually decreases in the clockwise direction, and the remaining two blades 5 are the second blades 15.

[0054] Further, the design height of the five blades 5 in each group is H1, H2, H3, H4, and H5 in sequence, and H1>H2>H3>H4>H5, and the design height of the two second blades 15 is different from the design height of the five blades 5 in each group.

[0055] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the design height of each blade 5 is different.

[0056] Working principle: through the drive of the driving member 13, the impeller body 1 can be driven to rotate, the external air enters the air inlet 11 from the air inlet space, and then enters the inside of the impeller body 1 from the air inlet space, and then is transported to the first air outlet 12 by the second air outlet 6, and is discharged to the outside. Because the design angles and design heights of the blades 5 are different, each blade 5 is different. Therefore, when the impeller body 1 works, the frequency of the airflow fluctuation generated by each blade 5 is different. The airflow fluctuation of different frequencies can offset each other. Compared with the prior art in which each blade 5 is the same, the flat fan with the circumferential air outlet characteristic of the application effectively reduces the influence of resonance, thereby reducing noise.

[0057] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the application and the explanation of the applied technical principles. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the application involved in the present application is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combination of the above technical features, and should also cover other technical solutions formed by the combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the inventive concept. For example, the above features are replaced with the technical features disclosed in the present application (but not limited to) with similar functions to form a technical solution.
