[0017] The utility model will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings. A range hood fan includes an impeller upper disc 2 and an impeller hub disc 1, a plurality of impeller blades 4 are installed between the upper disc 2 and the hub disc 1, and the impeller blades 4 connect the two as a whole. The inner side of the impeller blade 4 is arranged in an arc shape, and the width of the front end gradually changes towards the rear end direction.

[0018] The width of the front end of the impeller blade 4 is D1, the width of the rear end is D3, and D1 gradually increases to D3 along the axis direction.

[0019] The width of the front end of the impeller blade 4 is D1, the width of the rear end is D3, and D1 gradually increases to D2 along the axis direction, and D2 gradually decreases to D3 along the axis direction.

[0020] The width of the front end of the impeller blade 4 is D1, the width of the rear end is D3, and D1 gradually increases to D2 along the axis direction, and D2 and D3 are equal in width.

[0021] The impeller blades 4 are arc-shaped and are distributed clockwise circumferentially between the upper disk 2 and the hub disk 1.

[0022] The upper part of the hub disc 1 is the upper disc 2, and the lower part is the lower disc 3. The impeller blade 4 passes through the hub disc 1 and is connected to the upper disc 2 and the lower disc 3 respectively, connecting the three into a whole.

[0023] Working Principle: The impeller blades in this design abandon the traditional uniform width design. Instead, the width of the impeller blades gradually changes from the front end to the rear end. Unlike traditional uniform width impellers, the front end of the impeller blade is wider than the rear end, effectively increasing the air inlet area of ​​the fan. When the range hood is turned on, the larger air inlet can more effectively guide air into the fan, further optimizing the airflow path. Oil fumes can pass through the impeller blades more smoothly, thus effectively increasing the air pressure difference of the fan. Even under long-term high-load operation, it can maintain stable air pressure output and improve the efficiency of oil fume removal.

[0024] There are several ways to design impeller blades:

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown in Embodiment 1, the front end width of the impeller blade is D1, and the rear end width is D3. The width of D1 gradually increases towards D3 along the axial direction.

[0026] like Figure 4 In Example 2, the front end width of the impeller blade is D1, the middle width is D2, and the rear end width is D3. D1 gradually increases towards D2 along the axial direction, and D2 gradually decreases towards D3 along the axial direction.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown in Embodiment 3, the impeller blade has a front end width of D1, a middle width of D2, and a rear end width of D3. D1 gradually increases towards D2 along the axial direction, and D2 and D3 are of equal width.

[0028] Multiple implementation methods allow the impeller blades to be adapted for use with more different types of range hoods and to meet more diverse practical environmental needs. While ensuring overall strength, the gradual change in width makes the impeller more stable at high speeds, reducing the risk of deformation and effectively extending its service life.

[0029] The impeller blades are arranged in an arc shape. When the air passes through the impeller blades, it can be guided and accelerated on the arc surface. The airflow is passively accelerated inside the impeller blades, generating greater kinetic energy, thus more effectively removing oil fumes.

[0030] The basic principle and main features of the present application and the advantages of the present application are shown and described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited by the above examples, and the above examples and descriptions in the specification are only to illustrate the principles of the present application. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, various changes and improvements can be made to the present application, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present application.
