Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aerators, in particular to a high-efficiency waterwheel-type aerator and a toothed impeller equipped therewith. Background Art

[0002] As an important equipment in aquaculture, aerators are mainly used to increase the dissolved oxygen content of aquaculture water to prevent the aquaculture water from being hypoxic. At the same time, they can also inhibit the growth of anaerobic bacteria in the water to prevent the aquaculture water from deteriorating and threatening the living environment of fish and shrimp. Among them, the waterwheel aerator mainly includes a floating boat, a bracket, a power device, an impeller, etc. When working, the impeller is driven to rotate by the power device; the impeller blades are partially or completely immersed in the water. During the rotation process, the blades hit the water surface at high speed, stirring up water splashes, dissolving a large amount of air to form dissolved oxygen, and bringing it into the water, while generating a strong force, on the one hand, pressing the surface water into the bottom of the pool, and on the other hand, pushing the water to make the water flow and quickly diffuse the dissolved oxygen.

[0003] As an important part of a waterwheel aerator, the impeller is usually composed of a wheel seat and blades. For example, Chinese patent CN201721386765.9 discloses a waterwheel aerator impeller, including an impeller seat and blades. Several groups of connecting seats are arranged on the outer edge of the rim of the impeller seat, and the groups of connecting seats are staggered with each other. Only each group of connecting seats is composed of several connecting seats, and the connecting seats of each group are symmetrically distributed about the central axis hole of the impeller seat; blades are arranged on each connecting seat. However, the impeller of this structure is split, and the assembly is more complicated. If there is a certain error during installation, it will also affect the overall stability of the impeller, causing it to be damaged during high-speed operation; in addition, the blades of the impeller are solid structures, which make a lot of noise when stirring the water, and will also be subject to large water resistance, and the supercharging efficiency is low.
