Dustproof axial-flow fan device

Номер: US20120014807A1
Автор: Qiang Liang
Принадлежит: Individual

A dustproof axial-flow fan device includes an axial-flow fan and a mount body. The axial-flow fan has a frame body and a fan propeller rotatably mounted in the frame body. The mount body has an inlet and an outlet. At least one shutter slat is disposed at the inlet. A filter mesh is disposed at the outlet. An opening is formed at a bottom of the mount body. When the fan propeller forward rotates, air flows from the inlet into the mount body and filters through the filter mesh to flow out of the outlet. When the fan propeller reversely rotates, the shutter slat is closed to block the inlet. In this case, the air flows from the outlet into the mount body to blow off the dust from the filter mesh. The shutter slat will stop and make the dust drop out from the opening to remove the dust.
