[0040] The technical solution of this specification has the following significant beneficial effects:

[0041] The impeller in the embodiment of this specification includes a plurality of blades distributed in the circumference of the impeller. The ratio between the chord length of the blade and half of the outer diameter of the impeller, the inlet angle, outlet angle and inclination angle of the blade will affect the performance of the fan. If the ratio between the chord length of the blade and half of the outer diameter of the impeller is too large, the impeller air inlet will be too small, resulting in an increase in the air inlet resistance, which is not conducive to the air suction of the impeller. If the ratio between the chord length of the blade and half of the outer diameter of the impeller is too small, the working area of ​​the impeller blade will be too small, and the air volume cannot be effectively provided, and the static pressure will also be reduced. Therefore, the value of the ratio between the chord length of the blade and half of the outer diameter of the impeller needs to take into account the air inlet resistance of the impeller and the working area of ​​the impeller blade. If the inlet angle of the blade is too small, the impact of the airflow entering the impeller is large, which will lead to an increase in flow loss. If the inlet angle of the blade is too large, the airflow may not flow smoothly in the impeller, reducing the efficiency of the fan. Therefore, the value of the inlet angle of the blade needs to take into account the airflow loss and the smoothness of the airflow in the impeller. The outlet angle of the blade has a significant impact on the maximum static pressure. An outlet angle that is too large will reduce the maximum static pressure and expand the low-pressure area of ​​the flow; while an outlet angle that is too small will increase the flow resistance and affect the air volume. Therefore, the value of the outlet angle of the blade needs to take into account both the maximum static pressure and the airflow resistance. The inclination angle of the blade will affect the efficiency of the fan. A too small inclination angle will significantly increase the required power, while a too large inclination angle will cause flow turbulence and blade airflow separation, increase flow resistance, and thus affect the air volume and pressure. Therefore, the value of the inclination angle of the blade needs to take into account both the efficiency of the fan and the flow resistance of the fan. By comprehensively adjusting the ratio of the chord length of the blade to half the outer diameter of the impeller, the inlet angle, outlet angle and inclination angle of the blade, the ratio of the chord length of the blade to half the outer diameter of the impeller is set to 0.15 to 0.20, the preset inlet angle of the blade is set to 72° to 78°, the preset outlet angle of the blade is set to 12° to 18°, and the preset inclination angle of the blade is set to 26° to 32°. The wind pressure and air volume of the fan can be effectively increased, thereby improving the range hood extraction effect.

[0062] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this specification belongs. The terms used herein in this specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this specification. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0063] This specification provides an impeller. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , showing a structural schematic diagram and a cross-sectional view of an impeller in one embodiment of the present specification. Figure 2 It is a cross-sectional view obtained by cutting along the radial direction of the impeller. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the impeller 10 may include a plurality of blades 11 distributed in a circumferential direction of the impeller 10 .

[0064] Please refer to Figure 3 , showing Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of the cross-section of the impeller in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the impeller 10 is cut along the radial direction, the blade 11 is arc-shaped and has a certain thickness. In one embodiment, the arc shape of the blade can include a single arc, a double arc or multiple arcs. The specific form of the blade arc can refer to the existing arc form. This application does not limit this.

[0065] like Figure 3As shown, the two sides of the blade 11 are respectively a pressure surface 110 and a suction surface 111. The suction surface 111 of the impeller 10 refers to the curved surface where the fluid impacts the blade 11 due to pressure reduction. The pressure surface 110 refers to the curved surface where the blade 11 applies pressure to the fluid due to pressure increase. The ratio L / R between the chord length L of the blade 11 and the half R of the outer diameter of the impeller 10 is 0.15 to 0.20. The chord length L of the blade 11 refers to the length of the line between the end 1102 of the pressure surface 110 of the blade 11 and the starting end 1101 of the pressure surface 110. The half R of the outer diameter of the impeller 10 refers to the length of the line between the end 1102 of the pressure surface 110 and the center O of the impeller 10. If the ratio L / R between the chord length L of the blade 11 and the half R of the outer diameter of the impeller 10 is too large, the air inlet of the impeller 10 will be too small, thereby increasing the air inlet resistance, which is not conducive to the air suction of the impeller 10. If the ratio L / R between the chord length L of the blade 11 and the half R of the outer diameter of the impeller 10 is too small, the working area of ​​the blade 11 of the impeller 10 will be too small, and the air volume cannot be effectively provided, and the static pressure will also be reduced. By setting the ratio L / R between the chord length L of the blade 11 and the half R of the outer diameter of the impeller 10 to 0.15 to 0.20, the air inlet resistance of the impeller 10 can be reduced, and the working area of ​​the blade 11 of the impeller 10 can be increased.

[0066] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the blade 11 has a preset inlet angle α, a preset outlet angle β and a preset inclination angle γ.

[0067] The preset inlet angle α is the angle between the perpendicular line of the line between the starting end 1101 of the pressure surface 110 of the blade 11 and the center O of the impeller 10 and the tangent line of the arc at the starting end 1101 of the pressure surface 110. The preset inlet angle α is 72° to 78°. If the inlet angle α of the blade is too small, the impact of the airflow when entering the impeller 10 is large, which will cause increased flow losses. If the inlet angle α of the blade is too large, the airflow may not flow smoothly in the impeller 10, reducing the efficiency of the fan. By setting the inlet angle α of the blade to 72° to 78°, the airflow loss can be reduced, while ensuring that the airflow flows more smoothly in the impeller 10.

[0068] The preset outlet angle β is the angle between the perpendicular line of the line between the end 1102 of the pressure surface 110 of the blade 11 and the center O of the impeller 10 and the tangent line of the arc of the end 1102 of the pressure surface 110. The preset outlet angle β is 12° to 18°. The outlet angle β of the blade has a significant effect on the maximum static pressure. An outlet angle β that is too large will reduce the maximum static pressure and expand the low-pressure area of ​​the flow; while an outlet angle β that is too small will increase the flow resistance and affect the air volume. By setting the outlet angle β of the blade to 12° to 18°, a higher maximum static pressure and a lower airflow resistance can be ensured at the same time.

[0069] The preset inclination angle γ is the angle between the line between the end 1102 of the pressure surface 110 of the blade 11 and the starting end 1101 of the pressure surface 110 and the line between the end 1102 of the pressure surface 110 of the blade 11 and the center O of the impeller 10. The preset inclination angle γ is 26° to 32°. The inclination angle γ of the blade affects the efficiency of the fan. A too small inclination angle γ will significantly increase the required power, while a too large inclination angle γ will cause flow turbulence and blade airflow separation, increase flow resistance, and further affect air volume and wind pressure. By setting the inclination angle γ of the blade to 26° to 32°, higher fan efficiency and lower flow resistance can be ensured.

[0070] In this embodiment, the impeller 10 includes a plurality of blades 11 distributed in the circumferential direction of the impeller 10. By comprehensively adjusting the factors including the ratio L / R between the chord length L of the blade 11 and half the outer diameter R of the impeller, the inlet angle α, the outlet angle β and the inclination angle γ of the blade, the ratio L / R between the chord length L of the blade 11 and half the outer diameter R of the impeller 10 is set to 0.15 to 0.20, the preset inlet angle α of the blade 11 is set to 72° to 78°, the preset outlet angle β of the blade 11 is set to 12° to 18°, and the preset inclination angle γ of the blade 11 is set to 26° to 32°. This can effectively increase the wind pressure and air volume of the fan, improve the operating performance of the fan, and thus improve the fume extraction effect of the range hood.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present specification, the preset inlet angle α of the blade 11 is 74° to 76°. Preferably, the preset inlet angle α of the blade 11 is 75°.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present specification, the preset outlet angle β of the blade 11 is 14° to 16°. Preferably, the preset outlet angle β of the blade 11 is 15°.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present specification, the preset inclination angle γ of the blade 11 is 29° to 31°. Preferably, the preset inclination angle γ of the blade 11 is 30°.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present specification, L / R is 0.16 to 0.18. Preferably, L / R is 0.171.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present specification, the ratio H / L between the arch height H and the chord length L of the blade 11 is 0.20 to 0.27. The arch height H of the blade 11 refers to the maximum distance between a point on the pressure surface 110 of the blade 11 and the line between the end 1102 of the pressure surface 110 of the blade 11 and the starting end 1101 of the pressure surface 110. The chord length L of the blade 11 refers to the length of the line between the end 1102 of the pressure surface 110 of the blade 11 and the starting end 1101 of the pressure surface 110. If the ratio H / L between the arch height H and the chord length L of the blade 11 is too large, the throat size between the blades will be too small. If the ratio H / L between the arch height H and the chord length L of the blade 11 is too small, the efficiency of the fan will be reduced. By setting the ratio H / L between the arch height H and the chord length L of the blade 11 to 0.20 to 0.27, the noise can be reduced without increasing the flow resistance.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present specification, H / L is 0.23 to 0.25. Preferably, H / L is 0.237.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present specification, the ratio d / R between the distance d between two adjacent blades 11 in the plurality of blades 11 and half R of the outer diameter of the impeller 10 is 0.035 to 0.06. Figure 3 As shown, the distance d between two adjacent blades 11 is the shortest distance between the end 1102 of the pressure surface 110 of one blade 11 and the suction surface 111 of another blade 11. The ratio d / R between the distance d between two adjacent blades 11 and half R of the outer diameter of the impeller 10 will affect the sparseness of the blades 11 of the impeller 10. The density of the blades 11 will affect the efficiency and fluidity of the fan, especially the efficiency at the limit air volume. If d / R is too small (too dense), the manufacturing cost will increase, and the flow resistance at the limit air volume will increase and the power will increase, thereby reducing the efficiency of the fan. If d / R is too large (too sparse), the air volume will be too small at the same speed, and large vortices will be generated between the blades 11, which will increase the noise. By setting the ratio d / R between the distance d between two adjacent blades 11 and half R of the outer diameter of the impeller 10 to 0.035 to 0.06, the fan can be ensured to operate at a higher fan efficiency while reducing noise.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present specification, d / R is 0.04 to 0.06. Preferably, d / R is 0.05.

[0079] The present specification also provides a fan. Figure 4 , shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the fan in the embodiment of this specification. Figure 4 As shown, the fan 1 may include a volute 20, an impeller 10 and a motor 30. The impeller 10 may be the impeller 10 described in any of the above embodiments.

[0080] like Figure 4 As shown, the impeller 10 can be disposed in the volute 20. The motor 30 can be connected to the impeller 10 to drive the impeller 10 to rotate. In one embodiment, the motor 30 can be fixed on the volute 20. In another embodiment, the motor 30 can be fixed on the wall.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 5 , shows a front view of the volute in the embodiment of this specification. Figure 5 As shown, the volute 20 has a volute profile l. In some embodiments of the present specification, the expansion ratio of the volute profile l of the volute 20 and the circumferential angle θ of the volute 20 satisfy the following relationship:

[0082] y=aθ+b.

[0083] Wherein, y is the expansion ratio of the volute profile line l of the volute 20, θ is the circumferential angle of the volute 20, a is the slope, a is 0.0019 to 0.0023, b is the intercept, b is 1.0 to 1.14. The volute 20 includes a shroud 23 arranged around the impeller 10, the expansion ratio y of the volute profile line l is the ratio of the distance between a point on the shroud 23 and the center O of the impeller 10 to half R of the outer diameter of the impeller 10, and the circumferential angle θ is the angle between the line between the point on the shroud 23 and the center O of the impeller 10 and the line between the starting end of the volute profile line l and the center O of the impeller 10. The circumferential angle θ ranges from 0° to 270°. The starting end of the volute profile line l is the intersection with the volute 20 when extending upward from the center O of the impeller 10 in the vertical direction.

[0084] If the intercept b is too large, the distance between the volute 20 and the impeller 10 is too large, the pressure diffusion capacity decreases, and insufficient static pressure occurs; if the intercept b is too small, the high-speed rotation of the impeller 10 will interfere with the volute tongue 25 to produce abnormal noise, affecting the normal operation of the fan 1. If the slope a is too small, the volute 20 cannot effectively increase the pressure, which will cause the performance of the fan 1 to fail to reach the best according to the blade shape design; and if the slope a is too large, the size of the volute will increase, requiring a larger space to install the fan, and too large an oblique flow will cause the fan to produce unstable airflow and whirring sound when running at a low speed. By comprehensively setting the slope a and the intercept b, setting the slope a to 0.0019 to 0.0023 and the intercept b to 1.0 to 1.14, sufficient static pressure can be ensured and noise can be reduced.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present specification, a is 0.0020 to 0.0022. Preferably, a is 0.0021.
