[0002] As key equipment, centrifugal blowers play an indispensable role in many industries such as electricity, metallurgy, chemical industry, papermaking, pharmaceuticals and municipal sewage treatment. With the continuous advancement of modern industrial technology and the continuous expansion of process system scale, the performance and specification requirements of centrifugal blowers are increasing, especially the demand for large-scale and high-efficiency centrifugal blowers is becoming more and more significant. This trend has directly promoted the development of supporting blowers towards larger scale and higher efficiency. Therefore, large centrifugal blowers have become the mainstream products on the market.

[0003] In the related art, the volute of a large centrifugal blower is often made of cast iron, and a wooden mold needs to be made first. The mold making cost is high and the casting process is complicated. In order to ensure strength and avoid defects such as insufficient pouring and cold shut of the casting, the wall thickness of the cast volute is relatively thick and the weight is heavy. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of a single piece of the cast volute is high and the cycle is long. If the size of the volute is changed, the mold needs to be remade, and the manufacturing cycle is long and the cost is high, so there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content
