A fan motor includes: a motor including a stator and a rotor, a motor housing accommodating the motor, a bearing case disposed at a lower portion of the motor housing, an impeller coupled to a rotary shaft of the motor, a vane structure disposed at a lower side of the impeller and configured to guide air, and a lead cable connector provided in the bearing case. The stator of the motor includes a core and a coil that is wound on the core, and the lead cable connector is connected to a lead cable of the coil of the stator.

A fan includes a frame, an impeller and a motor. The frame includes a base, a frame housing and a plurality of static blades. The frame housing includes an outlet. The static blades are disposed around the outer periphery of the base and connect between the base and the frame housing. A distance is provided between the outlet and the ends of the static blades located adjacent to the outlet, and the static blades are not protruding from the outlet. The impeller includes a hub and a plurality of rotor blades. The hub has a curved surface. The slopes of the straight lines connecting any two points on the curved surface are not equal. The rotor blades are disposed around the outer periphery of the hub. The motor is disposed on the base, and connects with and drives the impeller to rotate.

An impeller for use in a fan system includes a hub extending along an axis of rotation and having a hub outer surface. There also are a plurality of blades extending radially outwardly of the hub outer surface. The blades have a unique cross-section at several different locations that result in relatively thin blades. A fan system and method are also disclosed.

A fan wheel includes a hub having a passage extending along an axis, where the passage is configured to receive a shaft. The hub includes a first mounting surface positioned at a first location along the axis and a second mounting surface offset from the first mounting surface and positioned at a second location along the axis. The fan wheel also includes a fan blade having a first mounting tab and a second mounting tab, where first mounting tab is configured to engage with and couple to the first mounting surface and the second mounting tab is configured to engage with and couple to the second mounting surface.

A fan impeller includes a hub, a shaft, a metal housing and a plurality of blades. The outer periphery of the hub has a curved surface. The shaft is disposed in the hub and connected to the hub. The metal housing has an annular shape and is disposed in the hub. A magnetic ring is disposed at the inner side of the metal housing. The blades are disposed around the outer periphery of the hub. The blades are projected along an extension direction toward the shaft to define projection areas thereof, and the projection area of a top and a bottom of any one of the blades is partially overlapped with other two adjacent blades. A distance between an outer edge of each blade and a rotational axis of the fan decreases proximate the top of the blade and then increases towards the bottom of the blade.

A lifting fan for hovercraft of the present disclosure comprises an upper shroud that is higher in its center and lower on its outer side, an air inlet part formed in the center of the upper shroud, a lower shroud that is higher in its center and lower on its outer side, a rotating shaft coupled to the center of the lower shroud, a plurality of blowing blades formed between the upper shroud and the lower shroud, a blowing passage formed with an inclination between the upper shroud, the lower shroud, and the plurality of blowing blades, and an air outlet part formed on the outer side of the upper shroud, on the outer side of the lower shroud, and at distal ends of the plurality of blowing blades, and thus has the effect of being excellent in the efficiency of air flow and of reducing the amount of noise and vibration generated in the process in which the air introduced through the air inlet part is discharged through the air outlet part by way of the inclined blowing passage.

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.

A motor assembly includes an impeller, a first diffuser at a downstream side of the impeller, a second diffuser at a downstream side of the first diffuser, an impeller cover coupled to the second diffuser and accommodating the impeller and the first diffuser, and a motor provided at the downstream side of the second diffuser to drive the impeller. The second diffuser includes a hub, an outer wall concentrically disposed outside the hub, and a plurality of blades having one side connected to the hub and the other side connected to the outer wall. The impeller cover is coupled to the outer wall of the second diffuser. A communicating portion for allowing fluid communication between inside and outside of the hub of the second diffuser is provided at the hub of the second diffuser.

A motor assembly includes an impeller, a first diffuser at a downstream side of the impeller, a second diffuser at a downstream side of the first diffuser, an impeller cover coupled to the second diffuser and accommodating the impeller and the first diffuser, and a motor provided at the downstream side of the second diffuser to drive the impeller. The second diffuser includes a hub, an outer wall concentrically disposed outside the hub, and a plurality of blades having one side connected to the hub and the other side connected to the outer wall. The impeller cover is coupled to the outer wall of the second diffuser. A communicating portion for allowing fluid communication between inside and outside of the hub of the second diffuser is provided at the hub of the second diffuser.

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.
