A blower includes a moving blade rotatable about a central axis, a motor to rotate the moving blade, a housing, and a substrate. The housing includes a holding portion below the moving blade to hold the motor, and a peripheral wall portion having a cylindrical shape extending upward from a radially outer end portion of the holding portion. The peripheral wall portion includes a peripheral wall recess recessed downward from an upper end of the peripheral wall portion and connecting a space radially inside and a space radially outside of the peripheral wall portion. The peripheral wall recess includes a first peripheral surface that opposes one circumferential direction opposite to a rotation direction of the moving blade, the first peripheral surface extending from an upper end of the peripheral wall recess toward a lower side of the peripheral wall portion.

A blower includes a moving blade, a motor, and a housing. The housing includes a holding portion located below the moving blade to hold the motor, and a peripheral wall portion having a cylindrical shape centered on the central axis and extending upward from a radially outer end portion of the holding portion. The peripheral wall portion includes a peripheral wall recess that is recessed downward from an upper end portion of the peripheral wall portion and connects a space radially inside of the peripheral wall portion and a space radially outside of the peripheral wall portion, and includes a first peripheral surface facing one circumferential direction that is opposite to a rotation direction of the moving blade. The first peripheral surface extends in one circumferential direction from the upper end of the peripheral wall recess toward the lower side.

A blower apparatus includes a motor including a rotor including a shaft extending along a vertically extending central axis, and a stator opposing the rotor in a radial direction, an impeller below the stator and fixed to the shaft, and a housing surrounding an outer side of the impeller in the radial direction. The impeller includes a base portion that widens in a direction intersecting the central axis, and blades arranged on an upper surface of the base portion along a circumferential direction. An annulus is fixed to an upper end portion of the shaft.

An electric motor assembly includes an impeller, a guide vane disposed at a one side of the impeller along an axial direction, a stator disposed at one side of the guide vane along the axial direction, a rotor configured to rotate relative to the stator to thereby rotate the impeller, and a frame disposed at an outside of the stator in a radial direction and coupled to the stator. The frame includes a body that has a cylindrical shape, that is disposed at the outside of the stator, and that defines an air flow path, and a plurality of stator fixing parts that protrude from an inner surface of the body and are coupled to the stator. The plurality of stator fixing parts are inclined with respect to the axial direction.

This invention relates to a blower for a breathing apparatus. The blower comprising a bottom support with a stub axle, a top support with a stub axle, a motor core comprising a motor stator and rotor, and an impeller coupled to the motor core via a shaft, the shaft is rotatably coupled at a first end to the stub axle on the top support and at a second end via the stub axle on the bottom support.

A motor assembly is disclosed. The motor assembly includes a motor having an axis, an impeller having a plurality of wings and configured to connect with the axis, and an impeller cover configured to cover a side surface of the impeller and disposed spaced apart from the impeller by a pre-set distance, and at least one from among the plurality of wings includes a protrusion disposed between the impeller cover and the wing.

An electric motor assembly includes a stator, a rotor, a motor housing, a rotatable shaft, a radial fan, and an air scoop. The motor housing at least partly houses the stator and rotor and presents an exterior motor surface. The rotatable shaft is associated with the rotor for rotational movement therewith, with the rotatable shaft extending along a rotational axis. The radial fan is mounted on the rotatable shaft exteriorly of the motor housing and is rotatable with the shaft to direct airflow in a radially outward direction. The air scoop extends radially outwardly relative to the radial fan and axially to receive radial airflow from the radial fan and turn the airflow axially to flow along the exterior motor surface. The air scoop includes spaced apart axially extending airflow vanes to guide the airflow as the airflow is turned axially.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an inline centrifugal mixed flow fan system that includes a wheel assembly disposed within an outer housing and comprising a hub cone, a plurality of fan blades directly coupled to and extending radially outward from the hub cone, and a shroud directly coupled to and at least partially radially surrounding the plurality of fan blades. The wheel assembly is configured to receive an air flow at an inlet axial end of the outer housing axially upstream of the wheel assembly, and to redirect the air flow axially downstream relative to a central longitudinal axis, circumferentially about the central longitudinal axis, and radially outward from the central longitudinal axis.

A blower includes a housing including a proximal opening and a distal opening that are co-axially aligned, a stator component provided to the housing, an impeller positioned between the proximal opening of the housing and the stator component, and a motor adapted to drive the impeller. The impeller includes a plurality of impeller blades. The stator component includes a plurality of air directing grooves along its exterior surface. The leading edge of the air directing grooves extend tangentially outwards from the outer tips of the impeller blades and are configured to collect the air exiting the impeller blades and direct it from a generally tangential direction to a generally radial direction by dividing the air from the impeller and directing the air along a curved path towards the distal opening so that airflow becomes substantially laminar.

This invention relates to a blower for a breathing apparatus. The blower comprising a bottom support with a stub axle, a top support with a stub axle, a motor core comprising a motor stator and rotor, and an impeller coupled to the motor core via a shaft, the shaft is rotatably coupled at a first end to the stub axle on the top support and at a second end via the stub axle on the bottom support.
