Description

  The present invention relates to a blower in which impellers must be arranged in two or more stages or a shaft must be set long.

  Conventionally, this type of blower uses a sleeve that is approximately the same length as the shaft.

For this reason, the sleeve is long and processing is troublesome, and when trying to make a hydrodynamic pressure bearing, it is very difficult to process the inner diameter of the sleeve, and there is a disadvantage that the loss generated in the bearing becomes large in terms of performance. .
nothing special

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-described conventional drawbacks, the present invention has an object to provide an inexpensive blower that can be easily processed to make a fluid dynamic pressure bearing, that loss generated in the bearing can be reduced, and that an energy saving effect can be obtained.

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a motor having a shaft fixed to a case body, a sleeve rotatably attached to the shaft via a fluid dynamic pressure bearing, and a sleeve of the motor in two or more stages. In a blower comprising two or more fixed impellers, two or more separation sleeves that are separated into two or more so that the two or more impellers can be respectively fixed, and the 2 A blower is constituted by coupling means for coupling the plurality of separation sleeves so as to rotate together.

  As is clear from the above description, the present invention has the following effects.

(1) A motor having a shaft fixed to the case body, a sleeve rotatably attached to the shaft via a fluid dynamic pressure bearing, and two or more blades fixed to the motor sleeve in two or more stages In a blower comprising a vehicle, the sleeve is separated into two or more separation sleeves so that the two or more impellers can be respectively fixed, and the two or more separation sleeves are integrated with each other. Therefore, the length of the separation sleeve can be shortened.
Therefore, the inner wall surface can be easily processed, and the dynamic pressure generating groove can be easily formed.

(2) Since the sleeve is constituted by two or more separation sleeves and the coupling means according to (1), it has the same function as the conventional sleeve.
