Abstract

An impeller is provided for a blower having a blade (), a plurality of notches () provided at predetermined intervals on a side edge of the blade (), and a plurality of smooth portions () each provided between a pair of the notches (). Since a transverse vortex discharged from the side edge of the blade (), and on a large scale, is organized by vertical vortexes formed in the notches () on a small scale so as to be segmented into stable transverse vortexes, it becomes possible to reduce aerodynamic noise.
