[0037] The following is a further description of the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0038] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1 to 4The press-fitting fixture includes a base 200, a slide 300, a driving component and a press-fitting assembly 400. The base 200 is provided with a first sleeve 210, the opening of the first sleeve 210 faces upward, and the first sleeve 210 is used to position the driving part 220. When the driving part 220 is placed on the first sleeve 210, the inner circumferential wall of the first sleeve 210 can limit the driving part 220 from moving in the horizontal direction. The driving part 220 is fixedly connected to the lower volute 130, and the rotating shaft 230 of the driving part 220 is upwardly penetrated in the lower volute 130. The slide 300 is located above the base 200. The driving component can drive the slide 300 to move in the up and down direction to approach or move away from the base 200. The press-fitting assembly 400 includes a second sleeve 410, a push rod 440 and a paddle 450. The second sleeve 410 is fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the slide 300, and the opening of the second sleeve 410 faces downward. The push rod 440 is inserted into the second sleeve 410, and the push rod 440 is slidably connected to the slide seat 300. The axis direction of the push rod 440 is the up-down direction, and the push rod 440 can slide in the up-down direction. The push rod 440 is coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft 230. The push rod 440 can be inserted into the shaft hole 110 of the impeller 100 to position the impeller 100. The paddle 450 is rotatably connected to the second sleeve 410. The paddle 450 can be rotated into the second sleeve 410 to limit the impeller 100 located in the second sleeve 410 from moving downward; the paddle 450 can also be rotated outside the second sleeve 410, so that the impeller 100 located in the second sleeve 410 can move downward relative to the second sleeve 410 to disengage from the second sleeve 410.

[0039] It is understandable that, referring to Figures 2 to 6 When press-fitting is required, the driving part 220 and the lower volute 130 are fixedly connected by bolts, and then the driving part 220 is placed on the first sleeve 210 to position the driving part 220, thereby limiting the movement of the driving part 220; the impeller 100 is placed in the second sleeve 410 and the push rod 440 is inserted into the shaft hole 110 of the impeller 100 to position the impeller 100, and the lower end of the push rod 440 is located in the shaft hole 110 but does not pass through the shaft hole 110; the paddle 450 is rotated so that the paddle 450 enters the second sleeve 410 and is located below the impeller 100, In order to prevent the impeller 100 from moving downward and falling, the driving component drives the slide 300 to move downward so that the upper end of the rotating shaft 230 is inserted into the axial hole 110 of the impeller 100, and the axial hole 110 and the rotating shaft 230 are interference fit, and then the paddle 450 is rotated to rotate the paddle 450 to the outside of the second sleeve 410, and the slide 300 and the second sleeve 410 move upward to return to the initial position, and the impeller 100 is separated from the second sleeve 410, thereby completing the assembly between the impeller 100 and the lower volute 130, and then the upper volute 140 and the lower volute 130 are installed together.

[0040] Preferably, refer to Figure 6The upper volute 140 and the lower volute 130 are relatively fixed by means of a snap connection.

[0041] The press-fitting fixture is easy to operate and reduces manual labor intensity, thereby improving assembly accuracy and thus improving production quality and production efficiency.

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 3 to 5 The slide seat 300 is provided with a receiving chamber 310, a first spring 320 is provided in the receiving chamber 310, the upper end of the ejector rod 440 is inserted into the receiving chamber 310, and the lower end of the first spring 320 is connected to the ejector rod 440. A limiting ring 441 is provided at the upper end of the ejector rod 440, and the limiting ring 441 is provided in the receiving chamber 310. The limiting ring 441 can abut against the lower inner wall of the receiving chamber 310 to limit the ejector rod 440 from moving downward.

[0043] It can be understood that when the upper end of the rotating shaft 230 is inserted into the axial hole 110, the rotating shaft 230 pushes the push rod 440 upward, so that the push rod 440 moves upward relative to the sliding seat 300 and compresses the first spring 320, the push rod 440 leaves the axial hole 110, and the rotating shaft 230 is upwardly penetrated into the axial hole 110 to complete the press-fitting of the impeller 100 and the lower volute 130; when the sliding seat 300 moves upward to the initial position, the push rod 440 moves back to the initial position under the action of the first spring 320 and gravity.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 3 to 5 A boss 420 is provided in the middle of the second sleeve 410, and the boss 420 extends downward. The boss 420 is provided with a first through hole 421 extending in the up-down direction, and the push rod 440 is passed through the first through hole 421. The inner peripheral wall of the boss 420 can limit the movement of the push rod 440 to prevent the push rod 440 from running off, and the lower end surface of the boss 420 can abut against the upper end surface of the hub 120 to complete the positioning of the impeller 100 and improve the assembly accuracy.

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The base 200 is provided with a column 240 extending in the up-down direction, the second spring 250 is sleeved on the column 240, the slide 300 is sleeved on the column 240 and can slide in the up-down direction, and the second spring 250 is located between the slide 300 and the base 200. The driving component is a motor or a cylinder, and the driving component can drive the slide 300 to move downward to compress the second spring 250. When the press-fitting is completed, the second spring 250 can push the slide 300 to move upward.

[0046] It should be noted that the driving component may also be human power, which directly presses the slide seat 300 downward to press the impeller 100 and the lower volute 130 .

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 3 to 5 The outer wall of the second sleeve 410 is provided with a second through hole 430 extending in the circumferential direction. The paddle 450 is hinged to the second sleeve 410. The paddle 450 can pass through the second through hole 430 to enter the inner cavity of the second sleeve 410 or leave the second sleeve 410. When the impeller 100 is placed in the second sleeve 410, the paddle 450 enters the inner cavity of the second sleeve 410. The paddle 450 is located below the impeller 100 to prevent the impeller 100 from falling off downward.

[0048] It is understandable that when the impeller 100 and the lower volute 130 are press-fitted, the impeller 100 and the rotating shaft 230 are interference-fitted, and the paddle 450 is located between the impeller 100 and the lower volute 130. The thickness of the paddle 450 is the gap between the impeller 100 and the lower volute 130. By changing the thickness of the paddle 450, the size of the gap between the impeller 100 and the lower volute 130 can be adjusted to meet various production requirements. Preferably, the thickness of the paddle 450 in the up-down direction is H5, which satisfies: 1mm<H5<3mm.

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 The rotating shaft 230 includes a first shaft section 231 and a second shaft section 232. The first shaft section 231 is located above the second shaft section 232. The diameter of the first shaft section 231 is θ1, the diameter of the second shaft section 232 is θ2, the diameter of the push rod 440 is θ3, and the diameter of the shaft hole 110 of the impeller 100 is θ4, satisfying: θ1<θ3<θ4<θ2. The arrangement of the first shaft section 231 and the second shaft section 232 can facilitate the rotating shaft 230 to be inserted into the shaft hole 110 and achieve an interference fit. The diameter of the push rod 440 is smaller than the diameter of the shaft hole 110 to avoid the push rod 440 and the impeller 100 being relatively fixed. The push rod 440 has a positioning function.

[0050] Preferably, the diameter of the top rod 440 is θ3, and the diameter of the shaft hole 110 of the impeller 100 is θ4, satisfying: 0<θ4-θ3<1mm.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 5 The height of the impeller 100 is H1, the height of the hub 120 of the impeller 100 is H2, and the height of the boss 420 is H3, which satisfies: H1-H2<H3, thereby preventing the upper end of the impeller 100 from colliding and interfering with the inner wall of the upper side of the second sleeve 410 to damage the impeller 100, and at the same time ensuring that the push rod 440 can be smoothly inserted into the shaft hole 110 of the impeller 100 to position the impeller 100. Preferably, it satisfies: H1-H2+2mm<H3

[0052] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 5 ​When the push rod 440 slides downward to the lowest position relative to the boss 420, the lowest end of the push rod 440 is located below the boss 420, and the vertical distance between the lowest end of the push rod 440 and the lowest end of the boss 420 is H4, which satisfies: 5mm<H4<10mm. This ensures that the push rod 440 can be smoothly inserted into the shaft hole 110 of the impeller 100 to position the impeller 100.
