Abstract

An impeller includes a hub, a plurality of blades, and an annular structure. The blades are disposed around the hub. The annular structure is connected to the blades. The annular structure includes a plurality of apertures. A balance material is filled in the apertures to achieve rotational balance of the impeller. Furthermore, a fan with the described impeller is provided. The fan and the impeller improve rotational stability, reliability and product life.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to a fan and an impeller thereof, and more particularly, to a fan and an impeller capable of stabilized rotational balance.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Fans are widely utilized. A pressure difference of airflow occurs when the impeller of the fan rotates. Thus, the stabile impeller rotation is a basic requirement for all fans.[0005]A conventional fan includes an impeller and a motor for driving the impeller. As shown in FIG. 1, an impeller 10 includes a hub 11 and a plurality of blades 12 disposed around the hub 11. The hub 11 includes a plurality of grooves 13 for adjusting the impeller 10 during the rotating and shaking test. Thus, a suitable quantity of the balance material can be filled in the groove 13 for adjusting the rotational balance of the impeller 10.[0006]Subsequent to assembly of the hub and motor of another conventional impeller, a remainder space is necessary to fill...
