Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of drainage pumps, in particular to an impeller, a drainage pump and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Due to the structure of some air conditioners, the condensed water generated during operation accumulates in the water receiving pan and needs to be discharged through a drain pump. When the water level in the water receiving pan is lower than the inhalable water level of the drain pump, the drain pump will not stop immediately but continue to work. The drain pipe connected to the drain pump continues to maintain a certain drainage height but does not discharge water. At this time, the water vapor inside the drain pump reaches a relatively balanced state, which is referred to as the "critical state". When the drain pump is in the critical state, there is a relatively obvious water-gas interface inside. When the impeller of the drain pump rotates, the tail end of the impeller blade will cause disturbances to the water-gas interface, breaking the balance of the water-gas interface and causing increased noise. In the related art, a notch can be set at the tail end of the blade to reduce the contact area between the tail end of the blade and the water-gas interface. However, this will cause the working area of ​​the blade and the water flow to be greatly reduced, which will greatly reduce the drainage capacity of the drain pump. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the utility model provides an impeller that reduces the stirring of the water-gas interface by the tail end of the blade, reduces the noise in the critical state, and can also reduce the performance loss of the drainage pump.

At the same time, since the arc surface protrudes toward the bottom wall away from the water passage cavity, compared with the scheme in which the arc surface is recessed toward the bottom wall of the water passage cavity, the working area of ​​the main blade and the water flow is larger, so the drainage capacity of the drainage pump equipped with the impeller of this embodiment is less affected, so as to ensure the drainage capacity of the drainage pump.

At the same time, since the arc surface protrudes toward the bottom wall away from the water passage cavity, compared with the scheme in which the arc surface is recessed toward the bottom wall of the water passage cavity, the work area of ​​the main blade and the water flow is larger, so the drainage capacity of the drainage pump equipped with the impeller of this embodiment is less affected, so as to ensure the drainage capacity of the drainage pump.

If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0049] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an impeller 1000 of an embodiment of the utility model can be used in a drainage pump 2000, and the drainage pump 2000 can be used in household appliances such as air conditioners, dishwashers, washing machines, etc. to achieve the function of drainage. In the embodiment of the utility model, the impeller 1000 includes a turntable 100, a guide ring 120, a main shaft 200 and a plurality of first blades 310. The turntable 100 is provided with a water hole 111, and the water hole 111 can be set at the center of the turntable 100. The guide ring 120 is arranged around the outer circumference of the turntable 100 and is fixedly connected to the turntable 100. The connection method can be one-piece molding, fastener connection, bonding, etc. A water cavity 130 is formed between the guide ring 120 and the turntable 100, and the water cavity 130 is connected to the water hole 111. The main shaft 200 is inserted into the water hole 111, and the main shaft 200 and at least part of the inner wall of the water hole 111 are spaced apart so that a water passage for water passing is formed between the main shaft 200 and the water hole 111. A plurality of main blades 300 are disposed in the water chamber 130 and fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the water chamber 130. The plurality of main blades 300 are radially arranged along the circumference of the main shaft 200. At least part of the main blades 300 are provided with an arc surface 330 at one end away from the main shaft 200, and the arc surface 330 protrudes toward the bottom wall away from the water chamber 130.

[0051] It is understandable that, since the main blade 300 and the guide ring 120 are arranged at intervals, when the impeller 1000 sucks water into the water chamber 130 through the water hole 111 during rotation, a portion of the water in the water chamber 130 can rotate along the inner wall of the guide ring 120, thereby reducing the subsequent water directly hitting the inner wall of the guide ring 120 in the process of being thrown out of the water chamber 130, resulting in an increase in noise, and thus the noise of the impeller 1000 during operation can be reduced. In a critical state, a water-gas interface will appear along the radial direction of the main shaft 200, and the main blade 300 will break the balance when stirring the water-gas interface, resulting in an increase in noise. Therefore, a curved surface 330 is provided at one end of the main blade 300 away from the main shaft 200, which can reduce the contact area between the main blade 300 and the water-gas interface, thereby reducing the disturbance of the main blade 300 to the water-gas interface, so as to reduce the peak noise in the critical state and improve the user experience. At the same time, since the arc surface 330 protrudes toward the bottom wall away from the water chamber 130, compared with the solution in which the arc surface 330 is recessed toward the bottom wall of the water chamber 130, the working area of ​​the main blade 300 and the water flow is larger, so the impact on the drainage capacity of the drainage pump 2000 is smaller, thereby ensuring the drainage capacity of the drainage pump 2000.

[0052] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, at least two of the plurality of main blades 300 are first blades 310, and one end of the first blade 310 is connected to the main shaft 200, and the connection method can be one-piece molding, bonding, fastener connection, etc. One end of the first blade 310 is connected to the main shaft 200 to determine the relative position of the main shaft 200 and the water hole 111, and plays a role in fixing the main shaft 200. The end of the first blade 310 away from the main shaft 200 is provided with a curved surface 330. For the convenience of explanation, the curved surface 330 of the first blade 310 is referred to as the first curved surface 312 in the following.

[0053] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, along the axial direction of the main shaft 200, the height of the first blade 310 is H1, and the shortest distance between the first curved surface 312 and the bottom wall of the water chamber 130 is h1, which satisfies: 0≤h1 / H1≤0.95. It can be understood that h1 reflects the height of the first curved surface 312. The larger h1 is, the smaller the height of the first curved surface 312 is; the larger h1 is, the larger the height of the first curved surface 312 is. When h1 is 0, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the first curved surface 312 extends to the bottom wall of the water passage chamber 130. When h1 / H1 is greater than 0.95, it means that the height of the first curved surface 312 is too small to reduce the contact area between the first blade 310 and the water-air interface, resulting in increased noise. Therefore, a reasonable design of the size of h1 / H1 can effectively reduce the contact area between the first inclined surface and the water-air interface and reduce the peak noise in the critical state.

[0054] Continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, in an embodiment of the utility model, another part of the plurality of main blades 300 is a second blade 320, and at least one second blade 320 is provided between two adjacent first blades 310. For example, a plurality of second blades 320 are provided, and the plurality of second blades 320 and the plurality of first blades 310 are alternately arranged along the circumference of the main shaft 200. The second blade 320 is connected to the bottom wall of the water passage chamber 130 and one end is spaced apart from the main shaft 200, and the other end is spaced apart from the guide ring 120. It can be understood that the second blade 320 is connected to one end of the water passage chamber 130 and is spaced apart from the main shaft 200, which can increase the water inlet area of ​​the water passage hole 111 and improve the water inlet efficiency. The first blade 310 and the second blade 320 are provided at the same time, which can increase the working area, improve the performance of the impeller 1000, and increase the water discharge.

[0055] Continue to refer to Figure 2As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, a curved surface 330 is provided at one end of the second blade 320 away from the main shaft 200. For the convenience of explanation, the curved surface 330 of the second blade 320 is hereinafter referred to as the second curved surface 322. It can be understood that the provision of the second curved surface 322 can reduce the contact area between the second blade 320 and the water-gas interface, thereby reducing the disturbance of the second blade 320 on the water-gas interface, so as to reduce the peak noise in the critical state and improve the user experience.

[0056] Referring to FIG. 4 , in another embodiment of the present invention, the second blade 320 may not be provided with the second arc surface 322, and only the first blade 310 may be provided with the first arc surface 312; or, referring to FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the first blade 310 is not provided with the first arc surface 312, and only the second blade 320 is provided with the second arc surface 322. The appropriate solution is selected according to the actual situation. For the convenience of explanation, in all subsequent embodiments, the first blade 310 is provided with the first arc surface 312, and the second blade 320 is provided with the second arc surface 322 as an example for explanation.

[0057] Reference Fig. 9 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, along the axial direction of the main shaft 200, the height of the second blade 320 is H2, and the shortest distance between the bottom wall of the second curved surface 322 and the bottom wall of the water chamber 130 is h2, which satisfies: 0≤h2 / H2≤0.95. It can be understood that h2 reflects the height of the second curved surface 322. The larger h2 is, the smaller the height of the second curved surface 322 is; the larger h2 is, the larger the height of the second curved surface 322 is. When h2 / H2 is greater than 0.95, it means that the height of the second curved surface 322 is too small, and it is difficult to reduce the contact area between the second blade 320 and the water-gas interface, resulting in increased noise. Therefore, a reasonable design of the size of h2 / H2 can effectively reduce the contact area between the second inclined surface and the water-gas interface and reduce the peak noise in the critical state.

[0058] Reference Figure 6 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, along the radial direction of the main shaft 200, the end of the first blade 310 away from the main shaft 200 is the first end 311, and the end of the second blade 320 away from the main shaft 200 is the second end 321, and the maximum distance between the first end 311 and the outer wall of the main shaft 200 is greater than or equal to the maximum distance between the second end 321 and the outer wall of the main shaft 200. Assuming that the second end 321 protrudes from the first end 311 in the radial direction, since the blade is in a rotating state during operation, when water passes over the first end 311, it is easy to hit the second end 321, resulting in increased noise. Therefore, by reasonably designing the positions of the first end 311 and the second end 321, the situation of water hitting the second end 321 when passing over the first end 311 is reduced, which can reduce noise and improve the rationality of the structural design of the impeller 1000.

[0059] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the turntable 100 is provided with a through hole 112, and the through hole 112 is located between the adjacent first blade 310 and the second blade 320, for example, the through hole 112 is located at the position of the turntable 100 close to the guide ring 120. It can be understood that the through hole 112 connects the upper and lower ends of the turntable 100, and is used to balance the air pressure inside and outside the impeller 1000. When water and air are sucked into the water chamber 130 together, the air can be discharged to the outside of the water chamber 130 through the through hole 112, and the water is thrown out from the upper side of the water chamber 130. Therefore, the through hole 112 plays a role in balancing the pressure difference of the impeller 1000, reducing the axial force, and at the same time reducing the vibration caused by the pressure difference, thereby reducing the noise of the impeller 1000 when it is working. Since the water flow speed gradually increases along the radial direction of the first blade 310 and the second blade 320, the through hole 112 is arranged at a position of the turntable 100 close to the guide ring 120, that is, when the through hole 112 is located at the edge of the turntable 100, the gas is easier to discharge and the exhaust efficiency is higher.

[0060] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in order to further improve the exhaust effect, in the embodiment of the utility model, a plurality of through holes 112 are provided, and the plurality of through holes 112 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the rotating shaft, for example, one or more through holes 112 are arranged between each adjacent first blade 310 and second blade 320. A plurality of through holes 112 are provided to improve the exhaust efficiency and further reduce the noise. The axis of the through hole 112 is parallel to the axis of the main shaft 200, so the water throwing angle of the first blade 310 and the second blade 320 is arranged at an angle to the axis of the through hole 112, so that the thrown water cannot directly enter the through hole 112, and it is difficult to produce a whistling sound when the water-gas mixture quickly passes through the narrow through hole 112, further reducing the noise of the impeller 1000 when it is working.

[0061] In an embodiment of the utility model, the through hole 112 may be a circular hole, and the aperture is in the range of 1mm to 3mm, for example, it may be 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 1.8mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, etc. When the aperture of the through hole 112 is greater than 3mm, it is easy to reduce the suction of the impeller 1000, thereby reducing the head and drainage volume of the drainage pump 2000. When the aperture of the through hole 112 is less than 1mm, the gas discharge effect is not obvious, and it is difficult to balance the air pressure. Among them, the aperture size of the through hole 112 can be set according to the water flow velocity. The larger the water flow velocity, the larger the aperture of the through hole 112 is set; the smaller the water flow velocity, the smaller the aperture of the through hole 112 is set. Therefore, setting the aperture of the through hole 112 in the range of 1mm-3mm can ensure that the suction of the impeller 1000 is within a suitable range, and can also balance the air pressure inside and outside the impeller 1000. In another embodiment, the cross-section of the through hole 112 may also be in the shape of an ellipse, rectangle, triangle, rhombus, trapezoid, etc. The size and shape of each through hole 112 may be the same or different. The appropriate solution is selected according to the actual situation.

[0062] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in an embodiment of the utility model, the outer wall of the main shaft 200 is provided with a plurality of water inlet blades 210, and the plurality of water inlet blades 210 are located on the side of the main shaft 200 away from the water passage chamber 130. And the plurality of water inlet blades 210 are radially distributed along the circumference of the main shaft 200 and connected to the corresponding first blades 310, and the connection method can be integrally formed. Along the radial direction of the main shaft 200, the length of the water inlet blades 210 is less than the length of the first blades 310. It can be understood that during the operation of the impeller 1000, the water inlet blades 210 are inserted into the water, and when the impeller 1000 rotates, the water inlet blades 210 are driven to rotate synchronously, so that the water inlet blades 210 stir the water surface and suck water into the water passage chamber 130, so that the water inlet blades 210 play a role of drainage, which can improve the water absorption efficiency.

[0063] In order to improve the effect of drainage, continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, along the water flow direction, that is, from bottom to top, the radial length of the water inlet blade 210 along the main shaft 200 gradually increases, and is smoothly transitioned and connected with the first blade 310, so that the water sucked along the water inlet blade 210 is transferred to the first blade 310, and then thrown out of the water cavity 130 through the first blade 310. Therefore, the drainage effect can be improved and the water absorption efficiency can be improved.

[0064] Reference Figure 7As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, along the axial direction of the main shaft 200, the upper end of the guide ring 120 protrudes from the upper end of the main blade 300, or is flush with the upper end of the main blade 300. It can be understood that when water is directly thrown out from the water passage chamber 130, due to the large pressure change amplitude, it is easy to cause pressure imbalance, thereby generating pressure pulsation and affecting the stability of the operation of the impeller 1000. Therefore, by setting the upper end of the guide ring 120 to protrude or be flush with the upper end of the main blade 300, the water hits the guide ring 120 during the throwing process, thereby balancing the pressure, reducing pressure pulsation, and improving the stability of the operation of the impeller 1000.

[0065] Continue to refer to Figure 7 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, a guide surface 121 is provided on the inner wall of the guide ring 120 along the direction away from the bottom wall of the water chamber 130, that is, from bottom to top. The guide surface 121 is inclined in the direction away from the main axis 200 to guide the direction of the water flow, so that the water flow becomes stable and the situation where the water flow directly impacts the guide ring 120 to generate a large noise is reduced.

[0066] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a drainage pump 2000 of an embodiment of the utility model can be used in home appliances such as air conditioners, washing machines, and dishwashers. The drainage pump 2000 includes a housing 2100, a pump cover 2120, a motor 2200, and the impeller 1000 of the above embodiment. The housing 2100 is provided with a mounting cavity 2110. The pump cover 2120 is connected to the lower end of the housing 2100 and forms a drainage cavity 2130 with the housing 2100. A sealing ring 2300 for sealing is provided between the pump cover 2120 and the housing 2100. The pump cover 2120 is provided with a water inlet 2121 and a water outlet 2122, and the water inlet 2121 and the water outlet 2122 are both connected to the drainage cavity 2130. The motor 2200 is arranged in the mounting cavity 2110, and the rotating shaft 2210 of the motor 2200 extends from the mounting cavity 2110 into the drainage cavity 2130. The impeller 1000 is installed in the drainage chamber 2130, the water inlet blade 210 of the impeller 1000 is arranged in the water inlet 2121, and the main shaft 200 of the impeller 1000 is connected to the rotating shaft 2210. When the motor 2200 drives the impeller 1000 to rotate through the rotating shaft 2210, water is sucked into the water passage chamber 130 of the impeller 1000 from the water inlet 2121, and then the water is thrown out into the drainage chamber 2130 through the first blade 310, and finally discharged from the water outlet 2122.

[0067] The housing 2100, the pump cover 2120 and the impeller 1000 can be made of plastic, which can reduce the production cost and the overall weight of the drainage pump 2000.

[0068] The drainage pump 2000 of the present application adopts the impeller 1000 of the above embodiment. The impeller 1000 forms a water passage chamber 130 by setting between the rotating disk 100 and the guide ring 120. The main shaft 200 is passed through the water passage hole 111 of the rotating disk 100, and a water passage is formed between the main shaft 200 and the inner wall of the water passage hole 111. A plurality of main blades 300 are arranged on the bottom wall of the water passage chamber 130. When the impeller 1000 rotates, water is sucked into the water passage chamber 130 through the water passage hole 111, and then thrown out of the water passage chamber 130 under the guidance of the main blades 300. In a critical state, a water-gas interface will appear along the radial direction of the main shaft 200, and the main blades 300 will break the balance when stirring the water-gas interface, resulting in increased noise. Therefore, a curved surface 330 is provided at the end of the main blade 300 away from the main shaft 200, so as to reduce the contact area between the main blade 300 and the water-vapor interface, thereby reducing the disturbance of the main blade 300 on the water-vapor interface, thereby reducing the peak noise in the critical state and improving the user experience.

[0069] Since the drainage pump 2000 adopts all the technical solutions of the impeller 1000 of the above embodiment, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.
