Patent attributes
Provided is an axial fan including: a motor; and an impeller for sending air in an air-blowing direction, wherein the impeller includes: a base covering the motor; and plural blades mounted on an outer peripheral surface of the base, a wind receiving surface of the blade includes a concave portion recessed toward a downstream side in the air-blowing direction, a bottom point of the concave portion is located downstream in the air-blowing direction relative to a first imaginary line perpendicular to the air-blowing direction, the first imaginary line being drawn in a radial direction from a joint position of the blade where the wind receiving surface and the outer peripheral surface of the base merge, and the bottom point is displaced from inward to outward in the radial direction, in going from upstream to downstream in the air-blowing direction, until reaching a radially central part of the blade.
