A heat dissipation fan of a magnetic suspension structure includes a fan frame, a fan blade assembly, a motor coil, a PCB, and an iron plate. The fan frame incudes a base portion and a circumferential wall portion. A central portion of the base portion is raised to form a central shaft. An assembling space is provided between an outer circumference of the central shaft and the circumferential wall portion. The motor coil is arranged in the assembling space and mounted to the central shaft and is electrically connected to the PCB to acquire electrical power. The fan blade assembly includes a hub portion including an axle core and blades extending radially from the hub portion. The fan blade assembly is rotatably mounted in the fan frame with the axle core mounted into a shaft formed in the central shaft. The rubber magnet encloses a circumference of the motor coil.

A blower motor is provided and includes a support assembly provided with a first stop step surface, a stator assembly disposed in the support assembly, a rotor assembly disposed in the stator assembly and an end cover disposed on the stator assembly and abutted against the support assembly and provided with a second stop step surface. The rotor assembly includes a rotating shaft and two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively provided with a first bearing and a second bearing. A resilient gasket is provided on one of the first stop step surface and the second stop step surface. The bearings are positioned by springs and cooperate with the resilient gasket to apply a tightening force to the bearings, which can reduce clearances in the bearings and effectively prevent balls in the bearings from making noise under a high-frequency vibration.

A centrifugal compressor that includes: a rotary shaft; a compressor impeller mounted on the rotary shaft and configured to rotate together with the rotary shaft to compress a fluid; a housing accommodating the rotary shaft and the compressor impeller; and a thrust bearing supporting the rotary shaft in a thrust direction such that the rotary shaft is rotatable. The housing includes: an impeller chamber in which the compressor impeller is accommodated; a thrust bearing accommodation chamber in which the thrust bearing is accommodated; and a partition wall separating the impeller chamber from the thrust bearing accommodation chamber. The partition wall has therein a cooling gas passage through which cooling gas flows to cool the thrust bearing and a cooling water passage through which cooling water flows to cool the partition wall.

The CPAP device includes a blower. The blower includes a motor and a blower fan rotatable by the motor. The motor includes a stator assembly including a plurality of coils arranged in a circumferential direction, and a rotor assembly including a permanent magnet and disposed in an inner side portion of the stator assembly in a radial direction. An output shaft is inserted into the rotor assembly. The output shaft rotates together with the rotor assembly. The blower fan is fixed to a tip end of one side of the output shaft. Part of the output shaft is inserted into an insertion hole provided at a center of the base. A plain bearing is interposed between an inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole and an outer peripheral surface of the output shaft.

A ceiling fan including a retention system and method of redundantly retaining a ceiling fan can include a ceiling fan motor assembly including a hollow motor shaft at least partially surrounded by a motor housing. A retainer plate is provided at the bottom of the motor housing including an opening. A retainer rod extends through the opening in the retainer plate and secures to the retainer plate. A support cable couples to the retainer rod to suspend the retainer plate from a structure, wherein the retainer plate is configured to redundantly retainer the ceiling fan.

A blower can be positioned in a wellbore. The blower rotatably drives or is driven by a fluid produced through the well bore. An electric machine can be positioned downhole of the blower, the electric machine configured to rotatably drive or be driven by the blower. A bearing shaft couples the blower and the electric machine. The bearing shaft transfers rotation between the blower and the electric machine. A passive magnetic radial bearing assembly magnetically supports the bearing shaft.

A blower includes a housing including an inlet and an outlet, a bearing-housing structure provided to the housing and adapted to rotatably support a rotor, a motor provided to the bearing-housing structure and adapted to drive the rotor, and an impeller provided to the rotor. The bearing-housing structure includes a bearing shaft having a bearing surface that rotatably supports the rotor. The bearing shaft provides only a single bearing of the non-ball bearing type for the rotor.

The present invention relates to an electric compressor (9, 17) including a shaft (13) rotated by an electric motor by means of bearings (16), the shaft rotating a compressor wheel (14), the compressor (9) including two sealing segments (29a, 29b) mounted around the shaft (13) between the bearings (16) and the compressor wheel (14) and including a vent hole (31, 35, 38) for circulation of pollutant flows toward the outside of the compressor, the inlet of which is arranged between the two sealing segments, the vent hole including a non-return element (36).

This blower apparatus includes an air blowing portion including a plurality of flat plates; a motor portion; and a housing. The housing includes an air inlet and an air outlet. Each of a top flat plate and intermediate flat plates among the flat plates includes an air hole and an air blowing region radially outside of the air hole. Since the air flow is generated between the flat plates, the air flow does not easily leak upwardly or downwardly, and thus, an improvement in air blowing efficiency is achieved. A radial middle of the air blowing region of at least one of the intermediate flat plates is arranged radially outward of a radial middle of the air blowing region of an upwardly adjacent one of the flat plates.

This blower apparatus includes an air blowing portion including a plurality of flat plates arranged with an axial gap defined between adjacent ones of the flat plates; a motor portion arranged to rotate the air blowing portion; and a housing arranged to house the air blowing portion and the motor portion. The flat plates include an air hole arranged to pass therethrough in an axial direction. Once the air blowing portion starts rotating, an air flow traveling radially outward is generated between the flat, plates by viscous drag of surfaces of the flat plates and a centrifugal force. Thus, gas supplied through the air inlet and the air hole travels radially outwardly of the air blowing portion. Accordingly, a reduced thickness of the blower apparatus does not result in a significant reduction in the air blowing efficiency.
