Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fluid machinery, in particular to a three-dimensional impeller, and more particularly to a composite high-efficiency and low-noise three-dimensional impeller with backward-inclined blades. Background Art

[0002] The fan impeller is the "heart" of the fan equipment. Its design (such as blade shape and angle) and material directly affect the fan's efficiency, energy consumption, and reliability. Its core function is to achieve energy conversion through mechanical movement and drive gas flow to meet the needs of different scenarios. Existing fan impellers on the market generally have problems such as high noise and low efficiency. As people's requirements for fans increase, the demand for efficiency improvement of fan impellers is becoming increasingly strong. Therefore, it can be seen that optimizing the design of fan impellers is very necessary.

[0003] Prior art CN104500445A discloses a novel axial flow fan comprising: a main cylinder 1, an impeller assembly 2 disposed within the main cylinder 1, a guide vane assembly 3 disposed within the main cylinder 1, and a motor 4 disposed within the main cylinder 1. The motor 4 is secured to the main cylinder 1 via a bracket. The impeller assembly 2 includes multiple impellers 5, each having a polytetrafluoroethylene coating on its outer surface, making the impeller 5 relatively smooth and resistant to dust. The outer wall of the main cylinder 1 is provided with a sound-absorbing panel for sound absorption and noise reduction. The fan has a simple and rational structure, and the blades have a relatively smooth surface, making them resistant to dust adhesion.

[0004] However, the above structure has design limitations, and in the actual application of the fan, there are still problems of high noise and low efficiency.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A composite high-efficiency and low-noise three-dimensional impeller with backward-inclined blades, the impeller adopts a double-suction structure, which includes an upper wheel cover, a middle wheel cover, a wheel disc, a first blade, a second blade, a third blade, and a wheel hub.

[0008] Furthermore, the backward inclination angle of the first blade is A, and the forward inclination angle of the second blade is B, wherein A<B.

[0009] Furthermore, the first premixing groove is a fan-shaped groove, the second premixing groove is a semicircular groove, and the radius of the fan-shaped groove is equal to that of the semicircular groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the third blade is a plate-shaped blade group structure, which includes a first outlet blade and a second outlet blade arranged at intervals, the inlet ends of the first outlet blade and the second outlet blade are close to each other, and the outlet ends are far away from each other, and the first outlet blade and the second outlet blade are provided with a bending portion protruding toward the inside of the flow channel near the outlet side, the flow area of the flow channel is the smallest at the bending portion, and the flow area of the flow channel at the radially outer outlet of the third blade is the largest.

[0011] Furthermore, the flow area from the flow channel at the radial inner inlet of the third blade to the flow channel at the bending portion tends to first increase and then decrease, and the flow area from the flow channel at the bending portion to the flow channel at the radial outer outlet of the third blade tends to gradually expand.

[0012] Further, the outlet end of the upper wheel cover is farther from the central axis than the outlet end of the wheel disc, and the radially outer outlet end of the third blade is aligned with the outlet end of the wheel disc.

[0013] Furthermore, the main body of the hub is a hollow cylindrical structure, and an umbrella-shaped guide surface is provided at the end of the hub. The inlet end of the umbrella-shaped guide surface is axially at the same position as the inlet end of the middle wheel cover, and the outlet end of the umbrella-shaped guide surface points axially to the side of the second blade flow channel close to the wheel disc.

[0014] Furthermore, the mid-arc line of the umbrella-shaped guide surface is a part of a hyperbola.

[0015] Furthermore, the top of the umbrella-shaped guide surface is a spherical structure.

[0016] Furthermore, A=(0.2~0.6)B.

[0017] Furthermore, W1=(1.1-1.5)W2.

[0018] Furthermore, the thickness δ1 of the first blade is greater than the thickness δ2 of the second blade, and 1.2 mm ≤ δ2 ≤ 3 mm.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0020] 1. Most of the impellers in the prior art use single-layer blades, which have low conveying efficiency. The present invention uses a composite structure impeller combining double-layer blades and single-layer blades, which can more effectively clear the flow state of the fluid in the flow channel; specifically, since the upper layer of turbulence at the impeller inlet is relatively larger, the present invention uses backward-inclined bent and twisted blades on the upper layer, while the lower layer of turbulence at the impeller inlet is relatively stable, the present invention uses forward-inclined bent and twisted blades on the lower layer. In order to better boost conveying, the present invention provides a third blade of a plate-shaped blade group structure at the outlet, and a bending portion protruding toward the inside of the flow channel is provided on the first outlet blade and the second outlet blade near the outlet side. The flow area of the flow channel is the smallest at the bending portion, and the flow area of the flow channel at the outlet radially outside the third blade is the largest. The above-mentioned structure is more effective in boosting pressure. At the same time, the design of the above-mentioned third blade also effectively reduces noise and improves the efficiency of the fan operation.

[0021] 2. Due to the structural differences between the first blade and the second blade, the two blades will interfere with each other at the overlapping position at the outlet. Based on this, in the present invention, an outlet premixing tank is provided at the overlapping position of the trailing edge of the first blade and the middle wheel cover. The outlet premixing tank includes a first premixing tank located on the first blade and a second premixing tank located on the second blade. The first premixing tank is connected to the second premixing tank. The above structure enables premixing before interference, effectively reducing the vibration and noise of the fan.

[0022] 3. The flow area from the flow channel at the radial inner inlet of the third blade to the flow channel at the bending portion tends to first increase and then decrease, and the flow area from the flow channel at the bending portion to the flow channel at the radial outer outlet of the third blade tends to gradually expand; the above structure can improve airflow, reduce flow losses, and improve air outlet efficiency.

[0023] 4. The main part of the hub is a hollow cylindrical structure, and an umbrella-shaped guide surface is provided at the end of the hub. The inlet end of the umbrella-shaped guide surface is in the same position as the inlet end of the middle wheel cover in the axial direction, and the outlet end of the umbrella-shaped guide surface is axially directed to the side of the second blade flow channel close to the wheel disc. The design of the guide structure effectively changes the inlet flow state of the lower blades and has a suppressive effect on the generation of noise and vibration.

[0024] 5. The middle arc line of the umbrella-shaped guide surface is part of the hyperbola, and the top of the umbrella-shaped guide surface is a spherical structure. This is a further optimization of the guide structure. The design of the middle arc line is more in line with the fluid flow state in the impeller. The spherical structure also more effectively reduces noise, reduces the degree of airflow turbulence, and reduces pressure loss, thereby ensuring the stability and uniformity of the fan flow and improving the fan efficiency.

[0034] Furthermore, the first premixing groove 81 is a fan-shaped groove, and the second premixing groove 82 is a semicircular groove, and the radius of the fan-shaped groove is equal to that of the semicircular groove.

[0035] Furthermore, the third blade 6 is a plate-shaped blade group structure, which includes a first outlet blade 61 and a second outlet blade 62 arranged at intervals. The inlet ends of the first outlet blade 61 and the second outlet blade 62 are close to each other, and the outlet ends are far away from each other. The first outlet blade 61 and the second outlet blade 62 are provided with a bending portion 63 protruding toward the inside of the flow channel near the outlet side. The flow area of the flow channel is the smallest at the bending portion 63, and the flow area of the flow channel at the radially outer outlet of the third blade 6 is the largest.

[0036] Furthermore, the flow area from the flow channel at the radial inner inlet of the third blade 6 to the flow channel at the bend 63 tends to first increase and then decrease, and the flow area from the flow channel at the bend 63 to the flow channel at the radial outer outlet of the third blade 6 tends to gradually expand.

[0037] Furthermore, the outlet end of the upper wheel cover 1 is farther away from the central axis than the outlet end of the wheel disc 3 , and the radially outer outlet end of the third blade 6 is aligned with the outlet end of the wheel disc 3 .

[0038] Furthermore, the main part of the hub 7 is a hollow cylindrical structure 71, and an umbrella-shaped guide surface 72 is provided at the end of the hub 7.

[0044] In the prior art, most impellers use single-layer blades, which have low conveying efficiency. The present invention uses a composite structure impeller that combines double-layer blades with single-layer blades, which can more effectively clear the flow state of the fluid in the flow channel; specifically, since the upper layer of turbulence at the impeller inlet is relatively larger, the present invention uses backward-inclined bent and twisted blades in the upper layer, and the lower layer of turbulence at the impeller inlet is relatively stable, the present invention uses forward-inclined bent and twisted blades in the lower layer. In order to better boost conveying, the present invention provides a third blade of a plate-shaped blade group structure at the outlet, and a bending portion protruding toward the inside of the flow channel is provided at the first outlet blade and the second outlet blade near the outlet side. The flow area of the flow channel is the smallest at the bending portion, and the flow area of the flow channel at the radially outer outlet of the third blade is the largest. The above-mentioned structure is more effective in boosting pressure. At the same time, the design of the above-mentioned third blade also effectively reduces noise and improves the efficiency of the fan operation.

[0045] Due to the structural differences between the first blade and the second blade, the two blades will interfere with each other at the overlapping position at the outlet. Based on this, in the present invention, an outlet premixing tank is provided at the overlapping position of the trailing edge of the first blade and the middle wheel cover. The outlet premixing tank includes a first premixing tank located on the first blade and a second premixing tank located on the second blade. The first premixing tank is connected to the second premixing tank. The above structure enables premixing before interference, effectively reducing the vibration and noise of the fan.

[0046] The flow area from the flow channel at the radial inner inlet of the third blade to the flow channel at the bending portion tends to first increase and then decrease, and the flow area from the flow channel at the bending portion to the flow channel at the radial outer outlet of the third blade tends to gradually expand; the above structure can improve airflow, reduce flow losses, and improve air outlet efficiency.

[0047] The main part of the hub is a hollow cylindrical structure, and an umbrella-shaped guide surface is provided at the end of the hub. The inlet end of the umbrella-shaped guide surface is in the same position as the inlet end of the middle wheel cover in the axial direction, and the outlet end of the umbrella-shaped guide surface points to the side of the second blade flow channel close to the wheel disc in the axial direction. The design of the guide structure effectively changes the inlet flow state of the lower blades, and has a suppressive effect on the generation of noise and vibration.

[0048] The middle arc line of the umbrella-shaped guide surface is part of the hyperbola, and the top of the umbrella-shaped guide surface is a spherical structure. This is a further optimization of the guide structure. The design of the middle arc line is more in line with the fluid flow state in the impeller, and the spherical structure also more effectively reduces noise, reduces the degree of airflow turbulence, and reduces pressure loss, thereby ensuring the stability and uniformity of the fan flow and improving the fan efficiency.

[0049] The above-mentioned embodiments are illustrative of the present invention, not limiting thereof. It is understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
