The present invention relates to a blower. A blower according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a lower case having a suction hole in through which air flow; an upper case which is disposed at the upper side of the lower case and which has a discharge port through which the air is discharged; a fan motor for providing rotating force; and a fan disposed inside the lower case and fixed to a motor shaft of the fan motor, wherein the fan includes: a hub having an outer surface, which is extended to be inclined 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 is extended to be inclined, 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 blade, and thus the air discharged from the fan can change into an ascending current.

The present disclosure relates to a portable air purifier. The portable air purifier includes: a fan case having a narrow width portion at the front thereof and a wide width portion at the rear thereof, the narrow width portion including a space the radiuswise width of which is less than the radiuswise width of the wide width portion, and a fan blade protruding centrifugally further than the space formed inside the narrow width portion while being disposed at the wide width portion.

A blower is disclosed. The blower of the present disclosure comprises: a fan generating 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 being an upper body, which is installed over the lower body and forms a channel that communicates with the internal space of the lower body, and having a space formed through the upper body in a front-rear direction; a slit formed to pass through the upper body and discharging air flowing through the channel of the upper body to an outside of the upper body; and a vane or a door movably installed inside the upper body, and adjusting a flow direction of the air passing through the slit.

A diagonal fan is disclosed and includes a frame and an impeller. The frame includes an inlet, an outlet, an accommodation space and a guiding wall. The inlet and the outlet are communicated through the accommodation space. The guiding wall is extended along an axial direction to the accommodation space. The impeller is accommodated within the accommodation space and includes a conical section shell. When the impeller is rotated, an airflow flowing is generated. The outer diameter of the hub of the impeller is expended gradually in a direction from the inlet toward the outlet, so that the flowing direction of the airflow is expended gradually around the peripheral of the impeller. A gap having a spacing distance is substantially maintained to form a backflow channel. A backflow is transported through an intake section, a horizontal section and an exhaust section of the backflow channel, and converged with the airflow.

An air blower according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a support body through which a suction part is formed; a tower coupling part which is formed above the support body and in which a rotation module is installed; a dual discharge part which is coupled to the rotation module and includes a first discharge tower and a second discharge tower extending upward from the support body to be symmetrical to each other; and a control part which individually controls the rotation of the dual discharge part, wherein the control part can control the rotation angles of the first discharge tower and the second discharge tower so that air discharged from the first discharge tower and air from the second discharge tower is mixed, and the mixed air has an air volume larger than that of the air discharged from any one discharge tower among the first discharge tower and the second discharge tower.

A compressor according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a mixed compression stage having both axial and radial components arranged along a main flow path, and a radial compression stage having an impeller with a plurality of vanes arranged in the main flow path downstream of the mixed compression stage. The impeller is configured to rotate about an axis and has an outlet downstream of the vanes. A movable diffuser is arranged at the outlet, and the movable diffuser is configured to vary an area of the outlet.

A fan assembly including a base arranged to support the fan assembly on a surface, an air flow generator that is arranged to generate an air flow, and an air outlet that is arranged to emit at least a portion of the air flow from the fan assembly is provided. The air outlet is arranged to be oscillated relative to the base. The fan assembly further includes a controller that is arranged to control the oscillation of the air outlet relative to the base. The controller is arranged to vary an oscillation speed of the air outlet for each oscillation.
