Abstract

Disclosed is a multi-volute sirocco fan (multiblade fan). The present invention relates to a multi-volute sirocco fan configured to discharge fluid into several directions while using one motor and one fan. The sirocco fan according to the present invention comprises: a driving motor; a fan connected to a rotation shaft of the driving motor to thus be rotated therewith, the fan having a plurality of vanes arranged and installed in a cylindrical shape along the circumferential direction thereof; and at least two stacked volutes in the center of which the fan is arranged and installed and which guide the fluid while the cross-sectional area formed by the upper and lower surfaces, side surfaces thereof and the outer circumferential surface of the fan is linearly increased.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A multi-volute sirocco fan, comprising:
a driving motor;
a fan connected to a rotation shaft of the driving motor to be rotated therewith, and having a plurality of vanes arranged and installed in a cylindrical shape along a circumferential direction thereof; and
at least two stacked volutes in a center of which the fan is arranged and installed and which guide a fluid while a cross-sectional area thereof formed by upper and lower surfaces, side surfaces thereof and an outer circumferential surface of the fan is linearly increased; and wherein
a plurality of diameter reduction protruding portions of which diameters are reduced and which protrude are provided at an upper surface central introduction port of a lower one of the volutes, and a plurality of diameter reduction grooves of which diameters are reduced and which protrude and then are bent to form grooves therein are provided at a lower surface central introduction port of an upper one of the volutes, and when the upper and lower volutes are coupled, ends of the diameter reduction protruding portions are fitted and coupled to the diameter reduction grooves.

2. The multi-volute sirocco fan of claim 1 , wherein a lower surface of a lowermost one of the volutes is closed.

3. The multi-volute sirocco fan of claim 1 , wherein a rounded guide for guiding the fluid is provided at an end of an upper surface central introduction port of an uppermost one of the volutes.

4. The multi-volute sirocco fan of claim 1 , wherein the volutes are stacked, and then contact surfaces thereof are welded and fixed.

5. The multi-volute sirocco fan of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of protruding portions are provided at the lower surface central introduction port of the upper one of the volutes, and bent and assembled so as to cover an end of a central introduction port of an upper surface of the lower volute while the upper volute is stacked with the lower volute.

6. The multi-volute sirocco fan of claim 1 , wherein a height of each of the volutes is provided to be different from each other.
