[0002] The fan impeller is a key component of the fan. It rotates by receiving wind energy, generates mechanical energy and then drives the fan to operate. When the impeller rotates, it sucks external air into the inlet, and after acceleration, pressurization and other processes, it sprays out from the outlet, generating an air flow and taking away the indoor heat and moisture.

A groove is opened at the top of the shell, and a motor is bolted to the bottom of the inner cavity of the shell. A first gear is fixedly arranged on the output shaft of the motor. A second gear is arranged on the right side of the first gear, and the first gear meshes with the second gear. A rotating rod is arranged inside the shell, and a second gear is fixedly arranged on the surface of the rotating rod. When in use, the water pump impeller is clamped through a limit block, so that the water pump impeller is in a stable state during the flaw detection process, making the detection data of the flaw detector more accurate. At the same time, the size of the clamp can also be adjusted.
