PROPELLER FAN AND AIR CONDITIONER EQUIPPED WITH SAME

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a propeller fan and an air conditioner equipped with same.

Background Art

[0002] The propeller fan is applied to the air conditioner and so forth in many cases. Fig. 13 shows a plan view of a propeller of a conventional propeller fan. Fig. 13 is a diagram viewing the propeller from the discharge side. The propeller is configured by a plurality of blades provided around a hub. There are many cases where the blade of a shape (a forward-swept blade) which makes the blade advance in a rotation direction is adopted, aiming at noise reduction. The forward-swept blade has an action of making a tip vortex which flows out from the blade tip small and has an effect of reducing noise.

[0003] As the background art of the present technical field, there is Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. Hei2-2000(Patent Literature 1). In Patent Literature 1, it is described that air flow rate enlargement, static pressure heightening and noise reduction can be made by numerically limiting shape parameters such as a degree of sweep of the blade and an inclination of the blade, a camber of the blade section and so forth of the above-mentioned forward-swept blade.

[0004] In addition, there is Japanese Patent No. 3744489 (Patent Literature 2). In Patent Literature 2, it is described that the noise can be reduced by making the tip vortex small by curling an outer peripheral end part of the blade toward the suction side. Further, it is also described that the noise can be reduced by suppressing interaction between an air flow and the bell mouth by defining a positional relation between such blade and bell mouth.

[0005] Further, there is Japanese Patent No. 4818184 (Patent Literature 3). In Patent Literature 3, it is described that the tip vortex is migrated into a blade tip part by warping the blade toward the suction side by a definition method different from that in Patent Literature 2 so as to prevent interaction between the tip vortex and the bell mouth and thereby noise reduction and efficiency heightening can be made. Further, PTL 4 describes an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, provided with an axial fan provided with a plurality of vanes. Each of the vanes having a vane rear edge portion having a profile line in a rotational direction so as to provide concave shape in a vane front edge direction. PTL 5 describes an axial flow fan that has a plurality of pairs of blades provided at a position mutually shifted in a hub axial direction, and a blade positioned on a downstream side relative to the blade positioned on an upstream side in the air flow direction is provided with a predetermined angle shifted in a rotation direction.

Summary of Invention

Technical Problem

[0007]  In an embodiment, force that a blade acts on a flow will be referred to as "blade force". The blade force that the blade acts on the flow is shown by an arrow A' in Fig. 13. In a propeller of a conventional propeller fan, since the blade has a shape which has forward sweep in the rotation direction, the blade force acts so as to direct in an inner radial direction relative to a direction of the rotational axis 6 just like the arrow A'. Since the flow obtains a momentum directed in the inner radial direction by this blade force directed in the inner radial direction, the flow is directed in the inner radial direction.

[0008] A schematic diagram of a velocity vector which has been projected on a section passing through a rotational axis 6 in the conventional propeller fan is shown in Fig. 14. As shown in Fig. 14, since the flow is directed in the inner radial direction, the flow will not be supplied to the vicinity of the bell mouth which is arranged so as to cover an outer periphery of the propeller fan, though not shown. Then, a velocity of air in the vicinity of the bell mouth is lowered. When the flow is not supplied to the vicinity of the bell mouth, velocities at the outlet of the blade and the outlet of the bell mouth become non-uniform, it was the problem in view of heightening the efficiency of the propeller fan.

[0009] Accordingly, the present invention aims to promote heightening of the efficiency of the propeller fan. Solution to Problem

[0010] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a propeller fan according to claim 1 is adopted.

[0011] In addition, in the above-mentioned configuration, it is desirable that on end face of the aforementioned bell mouth which is closest to the aforementioned blade, a position which is an end portion in a discharge direction and where an angle is changed in an outer radial direction almost match a position of the aforementioned inflection point, viewing from above a rotation plane.

[0012] In addition, in the above-mentioned configuration, it is desirable that, each of the aforementioned plurality of blades is, a blade force act on a portion formed with the aforementioned second curvature in the aforementioned trailing edge portion so as to direct in an outer radial direction relative to a direction of the aforementioned rotational axis and a blade force act on a portion formed with the aforementioned first curvature in the aforementioned trailing edge portion so as to direct in an inner radial direction relative to the direction of the aforementioned rotational axis.

[0013] In addition, in the above-mentioned configuration, it is desirable to include a guard which lets air pass toward the discharge side of the aforementioned blade, prevents mixing of a foreign material which exceeds a predetermined size and is apart from the propeller with a distance exceeding a predetermined length.

[0014] Further, it is desirable that, in an air conditioner which includes a housing having a suction port and a discharge port of air, a heat exchanger arranged in the housing and a fan which is arranged upstream or downstream of the heat exchanger and sucks air on the outside of the housing through the aforementioned suction port and discharges it through the aforementioned discharge port, the propeller fan described in any of the above-mentioned configurations be used as the fan.

Description of Embodiments

[0017] In the following, embodiments of the present invention will be described using the drawings.

Embodiment 1

[0018] An embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described using Fig. 1 to Fig. 3.

[0019] Fig. 1 is a sectional diagram of a plane passing through a rotational axis of a propeller fan of the embodiment 1. 1 is a blade, 2 is a hub, 3 is a trailing edge portion, 4 is a leading edge portion, 5 is a blade tip portion, 6 is the rotational axis serving as the center of rotation, X shows a flow direction of air. The trailing edge portion 3 is formed on the rear relative to a rotation direction of the blade 1, the leading edge portion 4 is formed on the front relative to the rotation direction of the blade 1. The blade tip portion 5 is formed from a tip portion in the radial direction concerned of the trailing edge portion 3 to a tip portion in the radial direction concerned of the leading edge portion 4.

[0020] In Fig. 1, the trailing edge portion 3 which has been rotationally projected on a plane passing through the rotational axis 6 is shown. The trailing edge portion 3 is formed from the rotational axis 6 toward the blade-tip portion 5 so as to bend from the suction side toward the discharge side with a first convex curvature α. Further, it is formed so as to bend with a second convex curvature β, wherein a radius of the second convex curvature β is smaller than a radius of the first convex curvature α with an inflection point 7 interposed, wherein further the trailing edge portion (3) which has been rotationally projected on a plane vertical to the rotational axis (6) is formed to be convex in a reverse rotation direction from the rotational axis (6) toward the blade tip portion (5) and is formed linearly or to be convex in the rotation direction with the inflection point (7) interposed, as illustrated in figure 9.

[0021] Fig. 2 is a diagram explaining a difference in blade force between the propeller fan of the embodiment 1 and a related art propeller fan. Fig. 2 is the diagram viewing the propeller fan from the discharge side diagonally. A shows a blade force that a part 3b of the second curvature β of the trailing edge portion 3 of the propeller fan of the embodiment 1 acts. A' shows a blade force that a trailing edge portion 3b' on the side of a blade tip portion 5' of the related art propeller fan acts. Y shows a rotation direction of the blade.

[0022]  Since the blade 1 of the propeller fan of the present embodiment is of the above-mentioned configuration, the blade force A acts so as to direct in an outer radial direction relative to a direction of the rotational axis 6. Therefore, a flow in the vicinity of the trailing edge portion 3b comes to obtain a momentum which would partially direct in the outer radial direction relative to the direction of the rotational axis 6. On the other hand, the blade force A' of the conventional propeller fan acts so as to direct in an inner radial direction relative to the direction of the rotational axis 6. Therefore, a flow between blades obtains a momentum which would direct in the inner radial direction relative to the direction of the rotational axis 6.

[0023] A schematic diagram of the velocity vector which has been projected on the section passing through the rotational axis in a conventional propeller fan is shown in Fig. 14. A flow T in Fig. 14 obtains a momentum directing in the inner radial direction by the blade force A' which directs in the inner radial direction relative to the direction of the rotational axis 6 in Fig. 2 and thus comes to direct in the inner radial direction. Therefore, though not shown, the flow is not supplied to the vicinity of the bell mouth which is arranged so as to cover the outer radial direction of the propeller fan and the velocity in the vicinity of the bell mouth is lowered. That the flow is not supplied to the vicinity of the bell mouth means that it will stagnate just like a flow U. Then, the velocity on the outlet side of the blade becomes non-uniform due to the flow U in the vicinity of the bell mouth and the flow T and it could be a factor of efficiency lowering.

[0024] A schematic diagram of a velocity vector which has been projected on a section passing through the rotational axis in the propeller fan of the embodiment 1 is shown in Fig. 3. The flow in the vicinity of the blade tip portion 5 comes to direct by the action of the bade force in Fig. 2 in the outer radial direction relative to the rotational axis 6 just like a flow S in Fig. 3. That is, according to the shape of the trailing edge portion 3 of the present embodiment, the blade force A acts on a part which is formed with the second curvature β in the trailing edge portion 3 so as to direct in the outer radial direction relative to the direction of the rotational axis 6 and the blade force acts on a part which is formed with the first curvature α in the trailing edge portion 3 so as to direct in the inner radial direction relative to the direction of the rotational axis 6.

[0025]  Consequently, while, conventionally, the flow has stagnated just like the flow U not being supplied to the vicinity of the bell mouth as shown in Fig. 14, it is possible to suppress a situation where the flow U is generated by the action of the blade force A as observed conventionally. Therefore, since the velocity in the vicinity of the blade outlet can be made uniform and a mixing loss of a blade wake is reduced, it becomes possible to increase the efficiency.

Embodiment 2

[0026] In the present embodiment, an embodiment which can make the embodiment 1 more highly efficient will be described using Figs. 4 to 8.

[0027] Fig. 4 is a sectional diagram of a plane passing through the rotational axis of a propeller fan of an embodiment 2. 8 is a bell mouth, 9 is a cylindrical portion, 10 shows an end portion of the bell mouth. The cylindrical portion 9 is a portion of the bell mouth 8 and covers the blade 1 with a predetermined clearance interposed. The end portion 10 is an end portion on the discharge side of the cylindrical portion 9, and the end portion 10 is arranged so as to match the inflection point 7, viewing from above the rotation plane, as a position where the angle is changed to a right angle in the outer radial direction in Fig. 1.

[0028] That is, on an end face of the bell mouth 8 which is closest to the blade 1, it is made such that the position which is the end portion 10 in a discharge direction and where the angle is changed to the outer radial direction almost matches the position of the inflection point 7, viewing from above the rotation plane. Thereby, on the end face of the bell mouth 8 which is closest to the blade 1, the position which is the end portion 10 in the discharge direction and where the angle is changed to the outer radial direction almost matches a position serving as a boundary between a portion to which the outward blade force A acts and a portion to which the outward blade force A does not act, viewing from above the rotation plane.

[0029] A schematic diagram of a velocity vector which has been projected on a section passing through the rotational axis in the propeller fan of the embodiment 2 is shown in Fig. 5. Since the end portion 10 and the inflection point 7 are arranged so as to almost match mutually, a velocity distribution which has been made uniform by the action of the blade force in the arrow A direction shown in Fig. 2 in the embodiment 1 is maintained with no dispersion of the flow by the cylindrical portion 9. Therefore, the operational effect of the embodiment 1 can be more surely obtained and the efficiency of the propeller fan can be increased.

[0030] A result of comparison in shaft power of the propeller fan in the embodiment 2 with the conventional propeller fan is shown in Fig. 6. In the vicinity of an operating point, the power consumption of the propeller fan of the embodiment 2 is energy-saved by 3.3% in comparison with the conventional propeller fan, that is, efficiency heightening is obtained.

[0031] Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 are diagrams showing combinations with bell mouths of shapes different from that in Fig. 4 in the embodiment 2. The bell mouth in Fig. 7 is arched on the discharge side of the cylindrical portion 9. In this case, an end portion 10a serves as a contact point between a straight line and an arch of the cylindrical portion 9. The bell mouth in Fig. 8 is conically tapered on the discharge side of the cylindrical portion 9. In this case, an end portion 10b serves as a contact point between the straight line and the conical taper of the cylindrical portion 9. As shown, the end portions 10a and 10b are arranged so as to match the inflection point 7, viewing from above the rotation plane. The operational effect obtained by the present invention is, the same advantageous effect as that of the bell mouth in Fig. 4 can be obtained also in any of the bell mouths in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8.

[0032] In the following paragraph, features of the invention which make it highly efficient will be described using Fig. 9 and Fig. 10. Fig. 9 is a plan view of a propeller of the invention.

[0033] Fig. 9 is the diagram that the propeller has been viewed from the discharge side. In Fig. 9, the trailing edge portion 3 is projected on a plane which is vertical to the rotational axis. The trailing edge portion 3 is formed into a convex shape in a reverse rotation direction from the hub 2 toward the blade tip portion 5 and is formed to be convex in the rotation direction with the inflection point 7 interposed. B is a blade force that the vicinity of a trailing edge portion 3h on the hub 2 side acts, C shows a blade force that the vicinity of a trailing edge portion 3t on the blade tip portion 5 side acts. The inflection point 7 shown in fig. 9 is the same point as the inflection point described in the embodiments 1 and 2.

[0034] Since the curvature of the trailing edge portion 3t has been changed with the inflection point 7 set as a boundary, the orientation of the blade force C is changed to the outer radial direction relative to the direction of the rotational axis 6 in comparison with the blade force B. Owing to this change in orientation of the blade force, the flow in the vicinity of the trailing edge portion 3t obtains a momentum which directs in the outer radial direction and the flow in the vicinity of the blade tip portion 5 is directed in the outer radial direction. Consequently, the velocity in the vicinity of the blade outlet is made uniform. Since the mixing loss of the blade wake is reduced by velocity uniformity, the efficiency is increased.

[0035] Incidentally, although in Fig. 9, the trailing edge portion 3t is formed to be convex in the rotation direction, the operation which is the same as the above-mentioned one can be obtained by further linearly changing it in a direction that the curvature of the trailing edge portion 3t is made large relative to the trailing edge portion 3h with the inflection point 7 interposed.

Embodiment 3

[0036] In the present embodiment, an embodiment that the effect of noise reduction can be also obtained in addition to efficiency heightening in the embodiments 1 to 2 will be described using Fig. 10 and Fig. 11.

[0037] Fig. 10 is a diagram of a propeller fan in an embodiment 3.

[0038] Fig. 10 is the one that a guard is arranged on the blade wake side of the propeller fan in the embodiments 1 to 2.

[0039] This guard is of the type which is formed into a frame-like shape or a net-like shape so as to pass air to the discharge side of the blade and prevents mixing of the foreign material which exceeds a predetermined size through gaps in the frame or the net. The velocities in the vicinity of the blade outlets of the propeller fans in the embodiments 1 to 2 are made uniform in comparison with that of the conventional propeller fan. Since noise caused by the flow is proportional to the sixth power of a flow rate, the noise generated from a guard 11 is, in a case where the velocity is locally large, the noise generated from that portion becomes predominant. Accordingly, in the present invention, because the velocity has been made uniform, the noise is reduced in comparison with a combination with the conventional propeller fan.

[0040] One example of comparison in noise of the propeller fan according to the invention with the conventional propeller fan is shown in Fig. 11. It is confirmed that the noise of the propeller fan according to the invention is reduced by approximately 1 dB in comparison with that of the conventional propeller fan.

[0041] Incidentally, it is necessary to form the gap in the frame or the net of this guard 11 to be less than a predetermined size such that a finger of an adult does not enter it. Further, it is necessary to make it not to touch a propeller 12 even in a case where a finger of a child has entered the gap in the guard 11. Therefore, further safety can be ensured by setting a distance L from an end portion of the frame or the net of the guard 11 to a position 19 where the trailing edge 3 is closest to the guard 11 so as to exceed a predetermined length. Since it is assumed that the length of the finger of the child is approximately 50 mm, it is desirable to ensure 50 mm or more as the distance L.

Embodiment 4

[0042] In the present embodiment, an air conditioner using a propeller fan equipped with requirements of any of the embodiments 1 to 3 will be described.

[0043] Fig. 12 is a sectional diagram of the air conditioner in an embodiment 4.

[0044] This air conditioner is an outdoor unit, in Fig. 12, the propeller 12 rotates by being fixed to and supported by a motor 13, a motor support table 14. The bell mouth 8 is arranged on an outer periphery of the propeller 12. The guard 11 is arranged in a downstream area thereof. A heat exchanger 16 is installed upstream of the propeller 12 in a unit 15. A compressor 17 is loaded in the unit 15.

[0045] This air conditioner is, after air has been sucked into and cooled or overheated by the heat exchanger 16 by rotating the propeller 12 by the motor 13, it is boosted by the propeller 12 and the bell mouth 8 and thereafter is discharged through the guard 11. Since the propeller fan described in any of the embodiments 1 to 3 is used as the propeller fan and the bell mouth, the noise-reduced and highly efficient air conditioner can be obtained.

[0046] Incidentally, although the outdoor unit has been described in the present embodiment, the present invention is a technology which can be commonly used in the ones using the propeller fan regardless of whether the air conditioner is of another type and an indoor unit. Reference Signs List
