[0025] The utility model will be further explained in connection with specific embodiment.

[0026] Embodiment 1

[0027] Reference Figure 1The impeller proposed in this utility model includes: a first impeller 1 and a second impeller 3 arranged opposite to each other, a plurality of blades 2 arranged between the first impeller 1 and the second impeller 3, and the plurality of blades 2 arranged along the circumference of the first impeller 1; the plurality of blades 2 are inclined relative to the impeller axis, and the air inlet side edge of the blades 2 is provided with a serrated section 21, the serrated section 2 including a plurality of oblique serrations 211.

[0028] The impeller axis is the central axis of the first disc 1 and the second disc 3, and the impeller rotates around this axis during operation. Figure 1 As shown, multiple blades 2 are all inclined relative to the impeller axis, which can increase the effective area of ​​multiple blades and increase the air volume.

[0029] In the impeller provided in this embodiment of the utility model, the air inlet edge of the impeller blades is provided with a serrated section. Therefore, during the operation of the impeller, the multiple oblique serrations included in the serrated section can effectively cut the high-speed airflow, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing wind noise.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a base 6 is provided in the middle of the first impeller 1. The base 6 protrudes towards the second impeller 3 to accommodate the motor. A flange 4 is fixed to the middle of the base 6 on one side of the second impeller 3 by fasteners 5. The drive shaft of the motor is connected to the flange 4, realizing the connection between the impeller and the motor. The fasteners 5 can be rivets, etc.

[0031] The serrated section 21 on the blade 2 is located on the side near the first impeller 1. The length of the serrated section 21 can be 2 / 3 to 4 / 5 of the length of the blade 2, and the length can be determined according to the actual situation. This application does not limit this length. When the impeller of this embodiment is assembled into a centrifugal fan, the second impeller 3 is the air inlet. The airflow enters the impeller from one end of the second impeller 3 and exits through the gap between the blades 2. Since the wind resistance is greater closer to the first impeller in the impeller, by setting a serrated section on the blade near the first impeller, the resistance of this section can be reduced, and the overall efficiency of the impeller can be improved.

[0032] The length of the serrated segment 21 on each blade 2 can be the same. For example, the length of the serrated segment 21 on each blade 2 is 2 / 3 of the blade length.

[0033] The length of the serrated segment 21 on each blade 2 can also be different. For example, along the impeller rotation direction, the length of the serrated segment 21 on each blade 2 gradually increases or decreases. This utility model does not limit this.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the oblique sawtooth is an asymmetrical structure, meaning that the slope of the oblique sawtooth on the side closer to the first impeller is less than the slope of the oblique sawtooth on the side closer to the second impeller. This structure can reduce the resistance and wind noise of the airflow from entering the impeller to exiting the impeller.

[0035] In addition, the size of the oblique sawtooth 211 decreases in the direction from the first disc 1 to the second disc 3, that is, in the direction from the first disc 1 to the second disc 2, and the tooth root width of the plurality of oblique sawteeth 211 gradually decreases. Since the resistance of the airflow is increasingly large when flowing in the direction from the second disc to the first disc, the stability of the impeller can be maintained and the wind noise can be reduced by adopting the decreasing structure design.

[0036] The inclination angle of the blade 2 relative to the impeller axis is 70°-80°, and the specific inclination angle is designed according to the actual situation. In the case that the width of the impeller is unchanged, the effective area of the blade can be increased, thereby increasing the air volume.

[0037] In addition, the width of the blade 2 decreases in the direction from the first disc 1 to the second disc 3. By this setting, the ability to transport airflow with greater capacity can be achieved without affecting the size of the impeller air inlet. For the existing equal-width blade, the airflow will form a vortex under the action of resistance after entering the impeller from the second disc, which will generate a large amount of wind noise. By decreasing the width of the blade 2 in the direction from the first disc 1 to the second disc 3, and combining the sawtooth section provided on the edge of the air inlet side of the blade 2, the formation of vortex in the impeller can be avoided, and the wind noise can be further reduced.

[0038] As a preferred scheme of the embodiment, the outer circumference of the first disc 1 is folded away from the direction of the second disc 3 to form a first air guide reinforcing rib 11, and the included angle between the first air guide reinforcing rib 11 and the first disc 1 is 45°-60°. The outer circumference of the second disc 3 is folded away from the direction of the first disc 1 to form a second air guide reinforcing rib 31, and the included angle between the second air guide reinforcing rib 31 and the second disc 3 is 45°-60°. The first air guide reinforcing rib 11 and the second air guide reinforcing rib 31 can be symmetrically arranged. The design of the air guide reinforcing rib can guide the airflow to leave the fan, reduce the vortex, reduce the wind noise, and increase the efficiency, and can also strengthen the strength structure of the upper and lower discs.

[0041] The fan provided by the embodiment of the utility model can improve the noise caused by the thickness reduction of the fan and improve the performance of the fan.

[0042] Embodiment 3

[0044] In the embodiment of the utility model, the range hood can be a separate range hood or an integrated range hood integrated with an integrated cooker, and the utility model is not limited in this regard.
