Abstract

A centrifugal fan assembly consisting of a number of centrifugal fan units. Each of the centrifugal fan units comprises (a) an annular member with a first side and a second side, (b) a number of blades integrating with and extending from said first side, (c) a number of grooves formed in said second side of said annular member, (d) a first device for guiding said blades formed on one centrifugal fan unit to enter in said grooves formed in another centrifugal fan unit even if there is a slight circumferential misalignment of said blades formed on one centrifugal fan unit between said grooves formed in another centrifugal fan unit and (e) a second device for guiding said blades formed on one centrifugal fan unit to enter in said grooves formed in another centrifugal fan unit even if there is a slight radial misalignment of said blades formed on one centrifugal fan unit between said grooves formed in another centrifugal fan unit.

Claims

1. A multi-sectional centrifugal blower fan unit comprising a plurality of sectional centrifugal blower fans;

each of said sectional centrifugal blower fans having an annular member with a first side and a second side,

a number of blades integrating with an extending from said first side,

a number of grooves in said second side of said annular member,

a first guiding mean formed on said second side of said annular member,

a second guiding means formed on said second side of said annular member,

wherein said first and said second guiding means assist said blades to enter said grooves even though one of said sectional centrifugal blower fan blades are slightly misaligned with said grooves formed on the other sectional centrifugal blower fan when said centrifugal blower fans are assembled together.

2. A centrifugal fan unit in accordance with claim 1, wherein said first guiding means comprises a number of triangular guides each having two inclined rims and said grooves triangular guides are alternatively arranged.

3. A centrifugal fan unit in accordance with claim 1, wherein said first guiding means comprises a number of substantially radially extending guides each having two inclined sides, and said grooves are alternatively arranged.

4. A centrifugal fan unit in accordance with claim 1, wherein said second guiding means comprises an annular guides formed on said second side of said annular member.

5. A centrifugal fan unit in accordance with claim 1, wherein said first guiding means comprises a number of guides formed on said second side of said annular member.
