[0021] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described more clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments. Of course, the described embodiments are only a part of the present invention but not all of it. Based on this embodiment, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an impeller assembly includes an impeller base 1, on which a plurality of blades 2 are distributed in a circle around the center of the impeller base 1, the blades 2 are distributed in an arc shape, and the blades 2 are matched with an impeller cover 3, on which a slot 5 for engaging with the blades 2 is provided; the impeller base 1 is connected to a rotor assembly 11, the impeller cover 3 is matched with an upper positioning tool 12, and the rotor assembly 11 is matched with a lower positioning tool 13.

[0023] In the utility model, the impeller cover 3 and the blades 2 are pressed tightly by the upper positioning tool 12 and the lower positioning tool 13 before ultrasonic welding.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the blade 2 is provided with a boss 7 extending along the outline of the blade 2 , and the boss 7 is provided with a welding rib 4 .

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the slots 5 correspond to the blade 2 trajectory one by one and the end of the slots 5 extends out of the outer circle of the impeller cover 3. The slots 5 are each provided with a limiting slot 8 that cooperates with the boss 7. The width of the limiting slot 8 is greater than the width of the boss 7. The limiting slots 8 and the outer wall of the boss 7 cooperate to form an overflow groove 9 for storing the molten material of the welding rib 4; Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the welding slag formed by the melting of the welding rib 4 during welding flows into the overflow groove 9 for storage, and is squeezed and pressed between the step surfaces between the limit groove 8 and the card groove 5 to prevent the existence of a gap, so that the welding slag is stored in the overflow groove 9. After the welding slag is cooled, it can be sealed in the overflow groove 9 to ensure the cleanliness of the blade 2 and the impeller cover 3 during welding and prevent the blade 2 and the impeller cover 3 from being affected.

[0026] The width of the boss 7 is smaller than that of the blade 2 and the front and rear ends of the boss 7 do not overlap with the front and rear ends of the blade 2; the boss 7 is completely engaged in the limiting groove 8 to prevent welding slag from flowing into the surface of the blade 2 and affecting the assembly of the blade 2 and the impeller cover 3.

[0027] A positioning column 6 is provided in the middle of any two blades 2 that are relatively distributed. A positioning hole 10 that cooperates with the positioning column 6 is provided in the slot 5 corresponding to the blade 2 .

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, a positioning column 6 is provided on the blade 2, and the positioning column 6 divides the boss 7 and the welding rib 4 into two sections to prevent interference during welding caused by the positioning column 6; the positioning of the blade 2 and the impeller cover 3 is effectively achieved through two relatively distributed positioning columns 6, ensuring the accurate welding position of the blade 2 and the impeller cover 3.

[0029] The starting end plane of the boss 7 and the tangent direction of the intersection of the outer circle of the blade 2 are vertically distributed. Figure 3 As shown, the starting end of the boss 7 is horizontal and is vertically distributed with the tangent direction of the intersection of the outer circle of the blade 2. This design is different from the traditional inclined surface distribution and can effectively prevent welding slag from flowing into the blade 2 through the starting end of the boss 7.

[0030] The width of the welding rib 4 is smaller than the width of the boss 7 and the front and rear ends of the welding rib 4 do not overlap with the front and rear ends of the boss 7. The limiting groove 8 can cover the welding rib 4. The advantage of this design is to prevent the welding slag formed by the welding rib 4 from flowing out from the front and rear ends of the limiting groove 8.

[0031] The volume of the overflow groove 9 is at least 20% greater than the volume of the welding rib 4; to ensure that the overflow groove 9 has enough space to accommodate welding slag, in order to ensure the volume of the overflow groove 9, the height, width and other parameters of the boss 7 and the limiting groove 8 can be adjusted to suit.

[0032] The utility model also provides an electronic water pump, comprising the impeller assembly as mentioned above.

[0033] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the specification only describe the principles of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection claimed by the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
