A propeller fan includes a shaft portion disposed on a rotation axis, and a blade disposed on an outer peripheral side of the shaft portion and including a leading edge and a trailing edge. The blade includes a negative pressure surface in which a plurality of recesses are formed, and the plurality of recesses include a first recess and a second recess disposed on the trailing edge side than the first recess in a circumferential direction about the rotation axis as a center. The first recess has a depth larger than a depth of the second recess.

Propeller fan, air-sending device, and refrigeration cycle device

An air-sending device includes a fan and a grille provided downstream of the fan in a direction of airflow generated by the fan. The grille includes a first grille that includes a plurality of first bars spaced from each other, and a second grille that includes a plurality of second bars spaced from each other. The plurality of second bars are more densely arranged than the plurality of first bars. The second grille is provided upstream of the first grille in the direction of the airflow generated by the fan, and spaced from the first grille to face the first grille.

Air-sending device and air-conditioning apparatus

A propeller fan includes a cylindrical shaft portion provided on a rotation axis of the propeller fan; a plurality of blades provided on an outer peripheral side of the shaft portion; a connection portion provided adjacent to the shaft portion and connecting two of the plurality of blades that are adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction of the propeller fan; a first rib provided on at least one of a pressure surface of each of the plurality of blades and a surface of part of the connection portion that is located on a downstream side in the flow of air, and a second rib provided on at least one of a negative-pressure surface of each of the plurality of blades and a surface of part of the connection portion that is located on an upstream side in the flow of air.

Propeller fan, air-sending device, and refrigeration cycle apparatus

A propeller fan according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a shaft provided a rotation axis of the propeller fan, and a blade provided on an outer peripheral side of the shaft. The blade has a trailing edge on a rear side of the blade in a rotation direction of the propeller fan. The trailing edge includes a first trailing edge located on an innermost side of the trailing edge, and a second trailing edge adjacent to and outward of the first trailing edge. Where an innermost point of the first trailing edge is a first connection point, a connection point between the first trailing edge and the second trailing edge is a second connection point, and a straight line that extends through the rotation axis and the first connection point is a reference line, the second connection point is located forward of the reference line in the rotation direction, or located on the reference line, and the second trailing edge is located rearward of the second connection point in the rotation direction.
