Description

  • The invention relates to a fan device, and more particularly to a fan device capable of reducing acoustic noise.
  • A conventional fan device includes a fan impeller mounted in a fan housing. The fan impeller includes a hub body, and a plurality of angularly spaced apart fan blades extending outwardly and radially from the hub body. However, in such a configuration, greater acoustic noise occurs during rotation of the fan impeller at a speed within a certain speed range.
  • Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a fan device that can overcome the aforesaid drawback of the prior art.
  • According to the present invention, a fan device comprises:
    • a fan housing configured with a receiving space, and having a bottom wall formed with an air inlet in spatial communication with the receiving space, a top wall formed with an air outlet in spatial communication with the receiving space, and a surrounding side wall transverse to and interconnecting the top and bottom walls, and cooperating with the top and bottom walls to define the receiving space thereamong; and
    • a fan impeller mounted in the receiving space in the fan housing, disposed adjacent to the air outlet in the top wall of the fan housing, and operable to rotate about a central axis that is transverse to the top and bottom walls of the fan housing, the fan impeller including a hub body disposed coaxially with the central axis, and a plurality of angularly spaced apart fan blades extending outwardly and radially from the hub body, an angular distance between each adjacent pair of the fan blades being different from that of any other adjacent pair of the fan blades.
  • Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:
    • Figure 1 is a schematic top view showing the first preferred embodiment of a fan device according to the present invention;
    • Figure 2 is a schematic sectional view of the first preferred embodiment taken along line II-II in Figure 1;
    • Figure 3 is a schematic bottom view showing the second preferred embodiment of a fan device according to the present invention;
    • Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the second preferred embodiment without a fan impeller;
    • Figure 5 is a partly schematic sectional view showing the second preferred embodiment;
    • Figure 6 is a schematic top view showing the third preferred embodiment of a fan device according to the present invention without a fan impeller; and
    • Figure 7 is a schematic top view showing a variation of the third preferred embodiment.
  • Before the present invention is described in greater detail, it should be noted that like elements are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the disclosure.
  • Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the first preferred embodiment of a fan device according to the present invention is shown to include a fan housing 1, and a fan impeller 2.
  • The fan housing 1 is configured with a receiving space 10, and has a bottom wall 11, a top wall 12 and a surrounding side wall 13. The bottom wall 11 is formed with an air inlet 111 in spatial communication with the receiving space 10. The top wall 12 is formed with an air outlet 121 in spatial communication with the receiving space 10. The surrounding side wall 13 is transverse to and interconnects the top and bottom walls 12, 11, and cooperates with the top and bottom walls 12, 11 to define the receiving space 10 thereamong. In this embodiment, the fan housing 1 further includes a connecting member 14 and a plurality of connecting ribs 15. The connecting member 14 is placed in the receiving space 10, and is disposed adjacent to the air inlet 111. The connecting ribs 15 interconnect the connecting member 14 and the surrounding side wall 131.
  • The fan impeller 2 is mounted in the receiving space 10 in the fan housing 1, is disposed adjacent to the air outlet 121 in the top wall 12 of the fan housing 1, and is operable to rotate about a central axis (X) that is transverse to the top and bottom walls 12, 11. The fan impeller 2 includes a hub body 21, and a plurality of fan blades 22 extending outwardly and radially from the hub body 21. It is noted that an angular distance (Ø) between each adjacent pair of the fan blades 22 is different from that of any other adjacent pair of the fan blades 22. An air passage is formed between each adjacent pair of the fan blades 22.
  • In use, rotation of the fan impeller 2 draws air to flow from the air inlet 111 toward the air outlet 121 through the air passages, as indicated by solid-line arrows in Figure 2.
  • Since the angular distances (Ø) are different from each other, noise with different frequencies occurs when air flows through the air passages, thereby avoiding accumulation of noise with the same frequency. According to experimental measurement results, acoustic noise about 25.1dB caused by the fan device of the present invention during operation is less than that (about 45. 9dB) of the conventional fan device with angularly equidistant fan blades. Therefore, the fan device of the present invention can be operated with reduced acoustic noise.
  • Figures 3 to 5 illustrate the second preferred embodiment of a fan device according to this invention, which is a modification of the first preferred embodiment. As composed to the first preferred embodiment, the connecting member 14 and the connecting ribs 15 are dispensed with. Furthermore, the fan device further includes an air-guiding unit 3.
  • The air-guiding unit 3 is mounted fixedly in the receiving space 10 in the fan housing 1, and is disposed adjacent to the air inlet 111 in the bottom wall 11 of the fan housing 1. The air-guiding unit 3 includes a center connecting member 31 disposed coaxially with the central axis (X), and a plurality of air-guiding blades 32 angularly spaced apart from each other and interconnecting the central connecting member 31 and the surrounding side wall 13 of the fan housing 1. An angular distance ( θ ) between each adjacent pair of the air-guiding blades 32 is different from that of any other adjacent pair of the air-guiding blades 32. In this embodiment, the center connecting member 31 includes a circular cap body 312, and a tube body 311 extending integrally from the cap body 312 toward the hub body 21 and disposed coaxially with the central axis (X).
  • When the fan impeller 2 is driven to rotate, air flowing from the air inlet 111 is guided by the air-guiding blades 32, and then flows toward the air outlet 121 through the air passages, as indicated by solid-line arrows in Figure 5. Therefore, due to the presence of the air-guiding unit 3, air pressure produced by the fan device can be enhanced. Furthermore, since the angular distances ( θ ) are different from each other, acoustic noise caused by the fan device can be further reduced.
  • Figure 6 illustrates the third preferred embodiment of a fan device according to this invention, which is a modification of the second preferred embodiment. As compared to the second preferred embodiment, the air-guiding unit 3' further includes a plurality of auxiliary air-guiding blades 33 extending inwardly and radially from the surrounding side wall 13 of the fan housing 1 toward the central connecting member 31. Each auxiliary air-guiding blade 33 is disposed between a corresponding adjacent pair of the air-guiding blades 32, and is spaced apart from the corresponding adjacent pair of the air-guiding blades 32 and the central connectingmember 31. In this embodiment, the auxiliary air-guiding blades 33 have the same length. Figure 7 illustrates a variation of the third preferred embodiment, wherein each of the auxiliary air-guiding blades 33 of the air-guiding unit 3' has a length different from that of any other one of the auxiliary air-guiding blades 33.
