Definitions
- the present invention relates to a multi-blade fan, which has a plurality of annularly-disposed blades, for centrifugal blowers, and specifically relates to a technology to enable to design the multi-blade fan optimally as achieving high fan efficiency and low noise generation.
- a centrifugal blower having a large number of blades disposed annularly is suitably used as a blower in an automotive air conditioning system. Such a centrifugal blower is desired to achieve low noise generation, as well as high fan efficiency.
- an object of the present invention is to find out what kind of design factors (parameters) would work particularly for eliminating noise generation and then optimum ranges of the factors which are found would be combined to enable the design of a reasonably optimum multi-blade fan of centrifugal blowers.
- a multi-blade fan for a centrifugal blower is a multi-blade fan for a centrifugal blower having a plurality of annularly-disposed blades, characterized in that at least, number of blades Z, an inner/outer diameter ratio defined as a ratio D1/D2 of a diameter D1 of an inscribed circle of the blades to a diameter D2 of a circumscribed circle of the blades, an angle of inclination ⁇ (deg) of each blade defined as an angle between a line which connects a position of the blade on the inscribed circle to a position thereof on the circumscribed circle, and a line extending radially from a center of the inscribed circle and passing through the position on the inscribed circle, and a tongue clearance ratio defined as a ratio S/D2 between the tongue clearance S and the diameter D2 of the circumscribed circle are all within following ranges.
- the number of blades is preferably within 33 ⁇ Z ⁇ 50, and is more preferably within 35 ⁇ Z ⁇ 45.
- the inner/outer diameter ratio D1/D2 is preferably within 0.76 ⁇ D1/D2 ⁇ 0.85, and is more preferably within 0.8 ⁇ D1/D2 ⁇ 0.84.
- the angle of inclination ⁇ (deg) of the blade is preferably within 20 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 42, and is more preferably within 25 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 35.
- the number of blades Z, the inner/outer diameter ratio D1/D2, the angle of inclination ⁇ of the blade, and the tongue clearance ratio S/D2 are set within the above-described ranges, so that the flow rate of the airflow between the blades can be controlled within the optimum range and the shear flow fluctuation of the airflow can be suppressed, and therefore the noise generation can be reduced actually.
- desirable low noise generation can be achieved as maintaining high fan efficiency, and therefore the optimum design of the multi-blade fan is enabled.
- an exit angle ⁇ 2 (deg) of the blade which is defined as an angle between a tangent line of the circumscribed circle and a tangent line of the blade at a position of each blade on the circumscribed circle, is within 148 ⁇ ⁇ 2 ⁇ 175. It is more preferably within 152 ⁇ ⁇ 2 ⁇ 170, and is further preferably within 155 ⁇ ⁇ 2 ⁇ 165.
- the exit angle ⁇ 2 of the blade is optimized, the flow rate of the airflow between the blades can be surely controlled within the optimum range and the shear flow fluctuation of the airflow can be suppressed, and therefore the noise generation can be reduced more surely.
- an entrance angle ⁇ 1 (deg) of the blade which is defined as an angle between a tangent line of the inscribed circle and a tangent line of the blade at a position of each blade on the inscribed circle, is within a range of 50 ⁇ 1 ⁇ 90. It is more preferably within 55 ⁇ ⁇ 1 ⁇ 85, and is further preferably within 60 ⁇ ⁇ 1 ⁇ 80.
- a condition of the airflow flowed between blades can be more surely controlled optimally, so as to achieve desirable low noise generation surely.
- a thickness of each blade is within a range of 0.6 - I mm, though the multi-blade fan for a centrifugal blower according to the present invention is not limited thereto.
- the structure of the multi-blade fan for a centrifugal blower according to the present invention is basically applicable to every multi-blade fan, and is suitable to be applied to a blower of an automotive air conditioning system, which is required to have a small size, a low noise and a high efficiency.
- the multi-blade fan for a centrifugal blower makes it possible that a multi-blade fan is designed optimally, that the high fan efficiency is maintained and that desirable low noise generation is achieved, because the number of blades Z, an inner/outer diameter ratio D1/D2, an angle of inclination ⁇ (deg) of the blade and a tongue clearance ratio S/D2 are all set within predetermined ranges, and preferably, an exit angle ⁇ 2 and an entrance angle ⁇ 1 of the blade as well as a thickness of each blade may be set within predetermined ranges.
- FIG. 1 shows a multi-blade fan of a centrifugal blower according to an embodiment of the present invention, where (A) is a schematic front view showing blades and (B) is a schematic front view showing a casing which houses blades.
- Multi-blade fan 1 comprises a plurality of (many) blades 2 disposed annularly, and is housed in casing 11.
- symbol D1 shows a diameter of inscribed circle 3 many blades 2
- symbol D2 shows a diameter of circumscribed circle 4 of many blades 2.
- symbol S shows a clearance between circumscribed circle 4 of tongue 12 and casing 11.
- the Inner/Outer Diameter Ratio is defined as D1/D2, which is a ratio of diameter D1 (mm) of inscribed circle 3 to diameter D2 (mm) of circumscribed circle 4 of blades 2.
- Angle of Inclination ⁇ (deg) of the blade is defined as an angle between line 5, which is drawn from one end of each blade 2 at inscribed circle 3 side to the other end at circumscribed circle 4 side, and line 6, which is drawn radially from the other end at inscribed circle 3 side as extending to the center of the inscribed circle.
- Exit Angle ⁇ 2 (deg) of blade 2 is defined as an angle between tangent line 7 of circumscribed circle 4 and tangent line 8 of blade 2, at circumscribed circle 4 side of each blade 2.
- Entrance Angle ⁇ 1 (deg) of blade 2 is defined as an angle between tangent line 9 of inscribed circle 3 and tangent line 10 of blade 2, at inscribed circle 3 side of each blade 2. As described above, it is preferable that the thickness of blade 2 is set within 0.6-1mm though the thickness of each blade 2 is not limited thereto.
- Number of Blades Z of blades 2 is set within an appropriate range of 30-55 concerning Specific Noise. It is more preferable to set it within 33 ⁇ Z ⁇ 50, and is further preferable to set it within 35 ⁇ Z ⁇ 45.
- Number of Blades Z of blade 2 is less than the above-described appropriate range, the airflow between blades cannot reattach, so that the shear flow is greatly fluctuated as increasing noises as shown in Fig. 4(A) .
- Number of Blades Z of blade 2 is more than the above-described appropriate range, the narrow gap makes the outflow higher so as to generate high noise even though the airflow between blades can reattach as shown in Fig. 4(C) .
- Inner/Outer Diameter Ratio which is defined by D1/D2, is set within the appropriate range of 0.72-0.86 as shown in Fig. 5 . It is more preferable to set it within the range of 0.76 ⁇ D1/D2 ⁇ 0.85, and is further preferable to set it within the range of 0.8 ⁇ D1/D2 ⁇ 0.84. Further, the Inner/Outer Diameter Ratio D1/D2 is set within the above-described appropriate range of 0.72-0.86 as considering the fan efficiency.
- Inner/Outer Diameter Ratio D1/D2 When Inner/Outer Diameter Ratio D1/D2 is set within the above-described appropriate range, the airflow between blades can reattach, so that appropriate suppression of flow rate between blades makes it possible to achieve the low noise generation as shown in Fig. 6(B) . In addition, the fan efficiency becomes within a desirable range. Those phenomena are shown in Table 2.
- Angle of Inclination ⁇ (deg) of the blade is set within the appropriate range of 15-48 deg, where the ⁇ is defined as an angle between a line, which is drawn from one end of each blade at the inscribed circle side to the other end at the circumscribed circle side, and another line, which is drawn radially from the other end at the inscribed circle side. It is more preferable to set it within the range of 20 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 42, and is further preferable to set it within the range of 25 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 35.
- Tongue Clearance Ratio defined as a ratio S/D2, where S is a clearance between circumscribed circle 4 of tongue 12 and casing 11 and where D2 is a diameter of circumscribed circle 4, is set within the appropriate range of 0.09-0.15.
- Tongue Clearance Ratio is smaller than the above-described appropriate range, dissonant NZ-Noise, which is generated when the outflow from the blade interferes at the tongue, significantly increases.
- Tongue Clearance is greater than the above-described appropriate range, the size of the casing outline becomes excessive like casing 11a shown in Fig. 10 .
- Tongue Clearance is set within the above-described appropriate range, a casing with an appropriate size can suppress the NZ-Noise generation, so as to achieve a low noise condition.
- parameters such as Number of Blades Z, Inner/Outer Diameter Ratio D1/D2, Angle of Inclination ⁇ (deg) of the blade and Tongue Clearance Ratio S/D2, are set within the above-described appropriate range, so that the low noise is surely achieved with a casing having an appropriate size, as maintaining the high fan efficiency.
- Exit Angle ⁇ 2 (deg) of the blade is preferably set within the range of 148 ⁇ ⁇ 2 ⁇ 175, and is more preferably set within the range of 152 ⁇ ⁇ 2 ⁇ 170, and is further preferably set within the range of 155 ⁇ ⁇ 2 ⁇ 165.
- Exit Angle ⁇ 2 is greater than the above-described appropriate range, the narrow gap of the blades makes the outflow higher so as to generate high noise even though the airflow between blades can reattach as shown in Fig. 12(A) .
- Exit Angle ⁇ 2 is smaller than the above-described appropriate range, the airflow between blades cannot reattach, so that the shear flow is greatly fluctuated as shown in Fig. 12(C) .
- Exit Angle ⁇ 2 is set within the above-described appropriate range, the airflow between blades can reattach, so that appropriate suppression of flow rate between blades makes it possible to achieve the low noise generation as shown in Fig. 12(B) .
- the fan efficiency becomes desirable. Those phenomena are shown in Table 4.
- Entrance Angle ⁇ 1 (deg) of the blade is preferably set within the range of 50 ⁇ ⁇ 1 ⁇ 90, and is more preferably set within the range of 55 ⁇ ⁇ 1 ⁇ 85, and is further preferably set within the range of 60 ⁇ ⁇ 1 ⁇ 80.
- Entrance Angle ⁇ 1 is greater than the above-described appropriate range, the great difference between the inflow angle and the entrance angle increases an anterior burble, so as to generate higher noise as shown in Fig. 14(A) .
- Entrance Angle ⁇ 1 is smaller than the above-described appropriate range, too much turning from the inflow into the blades to the outflow from them causes higher noise as shown in Fig.
- the structure of the multi-blade fan for a centrifugal blower according to the present invention is suitable for a blower used in an air conditioning system for vehicles, which strongly demands low noise generation.
