The first upper body may include a first slit formed through the first upper body such that air in the first inner space may be discharged into the space, and the second upper body may include a second slit formed through the second upper body such that air in the second inner space may be discharged into the space.

Blower

A blower including a case; a fan; and a diffuser that is disposed downstream of the fan and guides air, discharged from the fan, toward discharge ports. The diffuser includes an outer wall; an inner wall spaced apart inwardly from the outer wall so that an air passage is formed therebetween; and a plurality of vanes that extends radially between the outer wall and the inner wall and divides the air passage into a plurality of unit passages. The outer wall and the inner wall are formed to have areas with different radial separation distances between the outer wall and the inner wall, such that in an area of the air passage of the diffuser in which air is discharged to a portion having a high flow resistance in the blower, the radial separation distance increases to widen the air passage, thereby compensating for asymmetry of the passage inside of the blower, allowing a uniform volume of air to reach an entire area of the discharge ports, and improving performance of the blower.

A blower is provided. The blower according to the present disclosure includes: a fan causing airflow; a lower body forming an inner space at which the fan is disposed, and having a suction hole through which air passes; and a first upper body positioned above the lower body, and the first upper body may include a first wall forming a first flow path communicating with the inner space of the lower body and a first panel surrounding the first wall, and the first panel may include a first slit formed through the first panel and discharging air flowing through the first flow path to an outside of the first panel.

A blower of the present disclosure includes: a lower case having a suction port; an upper case which has a pair of towers that are spaced apart from each other and form a space through which a discharge air flows therebetween; and a blower fan which is disposed inside the lower case and discharges air to the upper case, wherein each of the pair of towers has a discharge port that is elongated in an up-down direction and disposed closer to a rear end of the tower than a front end, and has an air guide, which is disposed therein, that guides the air discharged by the blower fan to the discharge port, wherein the air guide is convex upward, has one end disposed near a middle between the front end and the rear end of the tower, and has the other end disposed near a middle of a vertical height of the discharge port, wherein the other end is disposed higher than the one end, so that the direction of air flow discharged from the fan can be smoothly switched to the discharge port side by only a single air guide, thereby minimizing the flow resistance inside the blower and greatly improving the economic efficiency and manufacturability of the blower.

A blower is disclosed. The blower includes a fan configured to generate flow of air, a lower body providing an internal space in which the fan is installed, and having a suction hole through which air passes, an upper body positioned over the lower body and providing an internal space in which air discharged from the fan flows, a damper positioned behind the upper body, and a discharge port formed between an end of the upper body and an end of the damper, in which the upper body includes an opening formed at a rear end of the upper body and communicating with the internal space of the upper body, and the damper opens and closes the discharge port while moving in a front-rear direction behind the opening.

A blower includes a first extension having a first discharge port formed in a first wall, a second extension having a second discharge port formed in a second wall facing and spaced apart from the first wall, a fan provided below the first and second extensions to guide air toward each of the first tower and the second tower, a first gate provided inside the first tower or protruding from the first wall, a second gate provided inside the second tower or protruding from the second wall, a first guide motor to change a position of the first gate, and a second guide motor to change a position of the second gate.

A blower may include a body or case having a suction hole through which air passes, a fan provided inside the body and causing a flow of air, and a filter provided inside the body. The filter may be positioned upstream of the fan and extend in a longitudinal direction of the body. A longitudinal axis of the filter may be shifted or displaced with respect to a longitudinal axis of the body.

A blower is provided that includes a lower case having a suction hole through which air flows into the blower; an upper case which is disposed at an upper side of the lower case and which has a discharge port through which the air is discharged from the blower; a fan motor that provides a rotational force; and a fan disposed inside of the lower case and fixed to a motor shaft of the fan motor. The fan includes a hub having an outer surface, which extends at an incline at a first angle with respect to the motor shaft; a plurality of blades coupled to the hub; and a shroud having an inner surface which extends at an incline, with respect to the motor shaft, at a second angle that is greater than the first angle, and which faces the outer surface of the hub with respect to the plurality of blades, and thus, the air discharged from the fan may change into an ascending current.

A blower is disclosed. The blower of the present disclosure comprises: a fan for producing air flow; a lower body providing an inner space in which the fan is installed, and having an intake hole through which air passes; an upper body placed on the lower body to form a flow passage which communicates with the inner space of the lower body, and having a space which is formed to pass through the upper body in the forward and backward direction, wherein the upper body includes a slit which is formed through the upper body and through which air flowing through the flow passage of the upper body is discharged to the space, and the slit comprises: a rear slit adjacent to the rear end of the upper body; and a front slit adjacent to the front end of the upper body.

The present invention relates to a blower, the blower according to an embodiment of the present invention comprising: a lower case having a suction hole formed therein through which air is introduced; an upper case arranged on the upper side of the lower case and having a discharge hole formed therein through which air is discharged; and a fan arranged in the lower case and including a plurality of blades. Each of the plurality of blades includes a plurality of airfoils respectively extending along different camber lines from one another, and a leading edge of connecting the leading ends of the plurality of airfoils. Entrance angles formed by the respective camber lines of the plurality of airfoils and the rotation directions of the blades are different from one another. Thus, due to the curved shape of the leading edge and the design of a recessed notch, a flow separating from the leading edge is reduced, and thus, there is an advantage in that air volume performance is improved.

A blower may include a first case and a second case provided above the first case and having a first tower and a second tower that have a passage therebetween. A display assembly is received in the second case at a position that does not interfere with air flowing in the passage. An inner surface of the second tower and an outer surface of a diffuser define a space in which the display assembly is received.

A ceiling fan may include a column; a hub case coupled to the column and rotatable with respect to the column; and a plurality of blades disposed at the hub case, and arranged radially around the column. Each blade may include a lower blade having a first side coupled to the hub case and a second side, opposite to the first side, directed radially outwardly; an upper blade spaced apart from the lower blade, and having a first side coupled to the hub case and a second side, opposite to the first side, directed radially outwardly; and an air gap disposed between the lower blade and the upper blade. The blade may be formed as a tandem blade, thereby generating a greater lift force than a blade having one positive pressure surface and one negative pressure surface, such that an air volume may increase at a same power output.
