Abstract

A fan impeller structure of centrifugal fan includes a hub, a first blade body set and a second blade body set. The hub has an extension section having a first side and a second side. The first blade body set is disposed on the first side, while the second blade body set is disposed on the second side. The first blade body set defines multiple first air inlets and multiple first air outlets. The second blade body set defines multiple second air inlets and multiple second air outlets. The first air outlets of the first blade body set or the second air outlets of the second blade body set are selectively arranged at unequal intervals so as to effectively reduce noise.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates generally to a fan impeller structure of a centrifugal fan, and more particularly to a double-layer fan impeller structure of a centrifugal fan in which at least one layer of blades of the upper and lower layers is selectively arranged at unequal intervals so as to lower the single tone of the blade passing frequency (BPF) and greatly reduce noise.
  • 2. Description of the Related Art
  • Along with the rapid development of electronic industries, the performance of the electronic components has been more and more enhanced. The electronic components have operated at higher and higher speed. In the meantime, the heat generated by the electronic components has become higher and higher. In case the heat is not dissipated in time, the operation performance of the electronic components will be deteriorated. In some more serious cases, the electronic components may even burn out. In order to dissipate the heat, a miniaturized centrifugal fan is installed in a limited space of the system for carrying away the heat. The centrifugal fan includes a frame body, a fan hub and multiple blade bodies annularly disposed around outer circumference of the fan hub. Each of upper and lower sides of the frame body is formed with an air inlet. A lateral side of the frame body is formed with an air outlet. In operation, the blade bodies rotate to drive the ambient air to flow. The axial airflow going into the frame body from the air inlet is turned to radial airflow, which is exhausted from the air outlet.
  • When the centrifugal fan operates, the non-uniform wake flowing out from the fan impeller will interact with the tongue to make noise. In the case that the gap between the fan impeller and the tongue is relatively narrow, the noise will be affected by the tongue oscillation caused by the impact of the non-uniform wake onto the tongue and the pressure difference around the tongue. In the case that the gap is 20% the radius of the fan impeller, only the non-uniform wake will affect the major noise source and the non-uniform wake only has little affection on the major noise source. In addition, the wake strength can be lowered by means of adding short vanes between the blades. This can minimize the affection of the non-uniform wake on the pressure turbulence and the noise. According to the above, the conventional technique has the following shortcomings:
    • 1. The structural design is limited.
    • 2. The ratio of upper incoming air volume to lower incoming air volume cannot be flexibly designed according to the characteristics.
    • 3. The noise is loud.
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a fan impeller structure of centrifugal fan, which can effectively reduce noise.
  • To achieve the above and other objects, the fan impeller structure of centrifugal fan of the present invention includes a hub, a first blade body set and a second blade body set.
  • The hub has an extension section. The extension section has a first side and a second side. The first blade body set is disposed on the first side. The first blade body set includes multiple first blade bodies. The first blade bodies define therebetween multiple first air inlets and multiple first air outlets. The first air outlets are arranged at unequal intervals. The second blade body set is disposed on the second side. The second blade body set includes multiple second blade bodies. The second blade bodies define therebetween multiple second air inlets and multiple second air outlets. The second air outlets are arranged at equal intervals.
  • Still to achieve the above and other objects, the fan impeller structure of centrifugal fan of the present invention includes a hub, a first blade body set and a second blade body set.
  • The hub has an extension section. The extension section has a first side and a second side. The first blade body set is disposed on the first side. The first blade body set includes multiple first blade bodies. The first blade bodies define therebetween multiple first air inlets and multiple first air outlets. The first air outlets are arranged at unequal intervals. The second blade body set is disposed on the second side. The second blade body set includes multiple second blade bodies. The second blade bodies define therebetween multiple second air inlets and multiple second air outlets. The second air outlets are arranged at unequal intervals.
  • Still to achieve the above and other objects, the fan impeller structure of centrifugal fan of the present invention includes a hub, a first blade body set and a second blade body set.
  • The hub has an extension section. The extension section has a first side and a second side. The first blade body set is disposed on the first side. The first blade body set includes multiple first blade bodies. The first blade bodies define therebetween multiple first air inlets and multiple first air outlets. The first air outlets are arranged at equal intervals. The second blade body set is disposed on the second side. The second blade body set includes multiple second blade bodies. The second blade bodies define therebetween multiple second air inlets and multiple second air outlets. The second air outlets are arranged at unequal intervals.
  • The first air outlets of the first blade body set or the second air outlets of the second blade body set are selectively arranged at unequal intervals. This can lower the single tone of the blade passing frequency (BPF). Moreover, the double-layer fan impeller structure can increase the blade passing frequency (BPF) and lower sound pressure weighting so as to greatly reduce noise. In addition, the upper and lower blades can be more flexibly designed according to the boundary condition.
