[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the fan 100 includes a shroud 120, a flow guide device 110, a rotor 130, and a stator 140. A working fan blade 150 is disposed inside the shroud 120. The flow guide device 110 is mounted on the shroud 120. The rotor 130 passes through the flow guide device 110 and is connected to the working fan blade 150 inside the shroud 120. The stator 140 is disposed on the flow guide device 110 and surrounds the rotor 130. When the stator 140 is energized, it drives the rotor 130 to rotate. The rotation of the rotor 130 drives the working fan blade 150 to rotate. When the working fan blade 150 rotates, it draws air into the shroud 120 and then outputs it through the flow guide device 110.
[0031] like Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the flow guiding device 110 includes a flow guiding wheel 135 and a cover plate 136. The flow guiding wheel 135 includes a cylindrical support 111, a base plate 114, a surrounding plate 118, a plurality of lower flow guiding blades 119 and a plurality of upper flow guiding blades 125.
[0032] The cylindrical support 111 includes a bottom 112 and a wall 113, the wall 113 extending from the bottom 112 and protruding from the bottom 112.
[0033] The substrate 114 has an upper surface 115 and a lower surface 116 opposite to the upper surface 115. The substrate 114 is disposed around the cylindrical wall 113 and a gap 117 is provided between the substrate 114 and the cylindrical wall 113.
[0034] One end 121 of the lower guide vane 119 is connected to the lower surface 116 of the substrate 114 and the surrounding plate 118, while the other end 122 extends freely toward the wall of the cylinder 113. Multiple lower guide vanes 119 are distributed circumferentially. The specific number of lower guide vanes 119 can be determined according to actual usage needs; in the example shown, there are eleven lower guide vanes 119. A first air duct 123 is formed between two lower guide vanes 119, and one end of the first air duct 123 has a first air outlet 124. The first air outlet 124 is configured such that air output from the first air outlet 124 through the first air duct 123 is directed toward the cylinder wall 113. Along the extension direction of the lower guide vane 119 from one end 121 to the other end 122, the lateral dimension of the first air duct 123 decreases.
[0035] The enclosure 118 is connected to the base plate 114 and protrudes from the lower surface 116 of the base plate 114. The enclosure 118 blocks the other end of the first air duct 123.
[0036] The inner end 126 of the upper guide vane 125 is connected to the cylinder wall 113, and the outer end 127 is connected to the upper surface 115 of the substrate 114. Multiple upper guide vanes 125 are distributed circumferentially, and a second air duct 128 is formed between two upper guide vanes 125. The second air duct 128 is provided with a second air outlet 129. The second air outlet 129 is positioned away from the cylinder wall 113. Along the extension direction of the upper guide vane 125 from the inner end 126 to the outer end 127, the lateral dimension of the second air duct 128 increases. The first air duct 123 and the second air duct 128 are connected through a gap 117 between the substrate 114 and the cylinder wall 113. A cover plate 136 is placed over the upper end of the upper guide vane 125, sealing the second air duct 128 from above.
[0037] A mounting groove 131 is also provided on the bottom 112 of the cylinder, and the cylinder wall 113 is arranged around the mounting groove 131 and spaced apart from the mounting groove 131. The mounting groove 131 is used to install the stator of the fan.
[0038] The airflow guiding device and fan of this invention have a second air duct and a first air duct respectively provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate, which can reduce the noise of the fan during operation. When using the airflow guiding device of this invention, the noise of the fan at 24,000 rpm under a 7 / 8-inch perforated plate can be reduced from 84 decibels to 78 decibels.
