Provided is a heating blower, comprising an air duct, a motor and a wind wheel arranged in the air duct, and a heating device arranged at a first air outlet of the air duct; the wind wheel is fixed to a rotating shaft of the motor; the heating device comprises a housing, an electric heater, a rotary assembly and an air deflector; the housing is sleeved on the first air outlet, forming an inner chamber, which comprises a first area facing directly to the first air outlet and a second area not facing directly to the first air outlet; the electric heater is arranged in one of the first area and the second area; one end of the air deflector is fixedly arranged on the rotary assembly, and the other end of the air deflector rotates with the rotary assembly between the first area and the second area, separating the first area and the second area, so that the first air outlet is communicated with one of the first area and the second area.

Embodiments of the present invention may exist as a machine for continuous positive airway pressure, otherwise known as a “CPAP machine” in the art. The CPAP machine of the present invention may comprise a casing and plurality of working parts, the working parts including but not limited to a blower fan, one or more batteries, and a circuit board. All of the working parts may be housed within the casing, which allows the CPAP machine to exist as one compact unit that can be easily worn by a user without use of a hose, tube, external wire, or other component used to connect a component of a CPAP machine to the portion of a CPAP machine that is worn on, over, or in front of a user's face.

A portable blowing device configured for being worn around a neck of a human body, includes two arms each defining an airflow channel therein; and fans received in the arms respectively. The arm includes an inner side wall close to the neck and an outer side wall connected to the inner side wall. The arm includes an air inlet and an air outlet in communication with the airflow channel respectively. The air inlet is arranged at the inner side wall and/or the outer side wall. The fan is configured to generate an airflow passing through the air inlet, the airflow channel and the air outlet in sequence.

A fan assembly including a housing, an impeller, a first damper member, a second damper member, and an actuation assembly. The housing defining a number of outlets and the impeller being configured to rotate about a rotational axis to direct air towards the number of outlets. The first damper member at least partially extending circumferentially about the impeller and the second damper member at least partially extend circumferentially about the impeller. The actuation assembly is configured to selectively rotate the first damper member and/or the second damper member to partially block, completely block or completely open the number of outlets.

A controller for a vacuum cleaner includes a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions that program the processor to operate a motor at a first power level, receive a temperature of a drive component associated with the motor from a temperature sensor, and compare the temperature of the drive component associated with the motor to a first threshold temperature. The processor operates the motor at a second power level lower than the first power level for a period of time when the temperature of the drive component associated with the motor is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, and continues operating the motor at the first power level when the temperature of the drive component associated with the motor is less than the first temperature threshold.

The present invention provides an air purifier including a plurality of bi-directional fans, which are arranged to be misaligned in a vertical direction such that the discharge directions of discharge ports are different from each other.

Dual operation centrifugal fan apparatus and methods of operating same that may be used, for example, to cool the internal heat-generating components of an information handling system or other device. The dual operation centrifugal fan apparatus may be implemented in one embodiment as a self-cleaning blower apparatus that is operated in a first normal cooling direction to dissipate heat from internal components of an information handling system, and operated in second cleaning direction to reverse airflow and expel accumulated dust from the interior of the information handling system.

The present disclosure provides a portable blowing device configured for being worn around a neck of a human body, the portable blowing device includes two parts and two first fans. Each first part defines an airflow channel therein and includes an inner side wall, an outer side wall, and a top side wall connected between the inner side wall and the outer side wall. Each fan is received in one corresponding part and configured for generating an airflow to flow through the airflow channel defined therein. At least a portion of each of the two top side walls includes an inclined surface. Each of the parts defines at least one first air inlet and at least one first air outlet communicated with the at least one first air inlet and the airflow channel, and each of the first air outlets is defined in one corresponding inclined surface.

This blower apparatus includes an air blowing portion, a motor portion, and a housing. The housing includes an air inlet and an air outlet. The air blowing portion includes a plurality of flat plates arranged with an axial gap defined between adjacent ones of the flat plates; and a spacer arranged between the flat plates. A rotating portion of the motor portion includes a hub including a flat plate holding portion arranged to hold at least one of the flat plates. An air flow is generated between the flat plates by viscous drag of surfaces of the flat plates and a centrifugal force. With the spacer being arranged between the flat plates, the axial gap can be adjusted. Since at least one of the flat plates is held by the flat plate holding portion, the air blowing portion is able to stably rotate.

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.
