Axial fan, centrifugal fan, and electronic equipment employing one of these fans

摘要

A low-noise axial fan is provided with whirring sound minimized. The axial fan includes a plurality of blades arranged around a rotation axis at predetermined layout pitches. The blades are arranged at varied layout pitches. For instance, the layout pitch between the two adjacent blades may be different from the layout pitch between the remaining blades. This arrangement controls the whirring sound of the fan, which would be high in level if the blades were arranged at an equal layout pitch. A low-noise axial fan thus results.
