Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fan equipment, in particular to a centrifugal impeller and a fan capable of reducing axial force and leakage at the same time. Background Art

[0002] The impeller of a centrifugal compressor, also known as the working wheel, is the only element that does work on the airflow and is the heart of the compressor. The gas rotates at high speed with the impeller under the action of the impeller blades. The gas is affected by the centrifugal force of the rotation and the diffusion flow in the impeller and the diffuser behind it, which increases the pressure and speed after passing through the impeller and diffuser.

[0003] Existing impellers often have certain problems and defects in actual use. First, due to the different axial areas of the impeller disc and the wheel cover, especially the semi-open impeller, under the action of gas pressure, a large axial thrust is generated from the disc to the wheel cover, and the axial thrust of the compressor is mainly borne by the thrust bearing. If the axial thrust is too large, it will lead to difficulties in bearing selection and increased power consumption; in addition, the gas pressure on the back of the impeller is too high, which will cause a large leakage of the compressed medium at the shaft end seal, thereby causing energy loss and reducing the overall efficiency of the centrifugal compressor. Especially for chemical gases or toxic gases, if there is a gas leak, it will cause certain harm to the working environment. Utility Model Content

[0004] Purpose of the utility model: In order to overcome the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a centrifugal impeller and fan structure that can reduce the axial force and leakage at the same time. The structure adopts a dual auxiliary blade arrangement on the back of the impeller. When the impeller rotates, the auxiliary blades drive the pneumatic motion on the back of the wheel to centrifugal motion, forming a vacuum effect on the back of the wheel. On the one hand, it can greatly reduce the amount of gas leakage from the shaft end sealing structure of the impeller, and on the other hand, it greatly reduces the axial force and reduces the load on the thrust bearing, thereby reducing mechanical losses. Both of these advantages improve the overall efficiency of the compressor and save the operating cost of the unit.

[0005] Technical solution: The utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A centrifugal impeller capable of reducing axial force and leakage at the same time, the centrifugal impeller comprises a wheel disc, a plurality of main blades are evenly arranged on the front side of the wheel disc, a plurality of binary auxiliary blades are evenly arranged on the back side of the wheel disc, and the rotation direction of the main blades and the binary auxiliary blades is arranged in the direction of increasing pressure.

[0007] Preferably, the main blades include three-element long blades and splitter blades.

The centrifugal impeller is the centrifugal impeller described above.

[0014] Preferably, the inlet end of the diffuser is a double-sided chamfered structure.

[0016] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. The structure of arranging dual auxiliary blades on the back of the impeller is adopted. When the impeller rotates, the auxiliary blades drive the pneumatic motion on the back of the impeller to centrifugal motion, forming a vacuum effect on the back of the impeller.
