A
centrifugal fan comprises a
machine shell, an
impeller arranged in the
machine shell, an air inlet
pipe arranged on the
machine shell and a
front cover plate inserted in the
impeller, and the center of a rear cover of the
impeller is fixedly connected to a main shaft of a motor, and is characterized in that a plurality of radial ribs are arranged on the right side face of the rear cover plate, and a bearing seat is arranged in the air inlet
pipe; a plurality of rib plates are symmetrically connected between the bearing seat and the air inlet
pipe, a bearing is installed in the bearing seat, and the front end of the main shaft is connected in the bearing. The utility model has the beneficial effects that the ribs generate reverse
centrifugal force when rotating to prevent gas in a high-pressure area from flowing towards the main shaft along the rear cover plate; the front end of the main shaft is connected in the bearing, so that the impeller can be prevented from shaking during rotation, a gap between a
front cover plate of the impeller and a shell can be reduced, gas in a high-pressure area is prevented from converging to an inlet of the impeller, and non-contact sealing is realized; therefore, the problem that in the prior art, a sealing element needs to be replaced frequently due to abrasion is solved. Meanwhile, no
friction force exists when the main shaft rotates, and mechanical loss of the fan can be reduced.
