[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5The diagram illustrates a wind-powered fire extinguisher impeller with novel three-dimensional blade structures. It includes an impeller body 1, with arc-shaped blades 2 disposed inside the impeller body 1, and through holes 3 formed in the gaps between the blades 2. This invention, through the design and use of the arc-shaped blades 2, reduces gas flow losses and leakage between the blades 2 and the volute by altering the radial and axial dimensional parameters of the blades 2. This accelerates the gas flow velocity within the wind-powered fire extinguisher tube, improves the airflow velocity distribution within the tube, reduces the required input power of the impeller at the same rotational speed, while increasing the outlet total pressure and flow velocity, thus improving the impeller's working efficiency.

[0031] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the impeller is integrally formed by additive manufacturing.
[0032] Preferably, the blade 2 has an outer curve that is an arc shape formed by multiple tangent arcs spliced together. The arc-shaped blade 2 can be regarded as being formed by tangent splicing of L01, R01 and R02 in the axial section of the impeller, and can be regarded as being formed by splicing of line segment L03, arc R03 and R04 in the radial section.

Subsequently, the Taguchi robust design method and the generalized additive model are combined to optimize the design of the impeller blades of the portable wind-powered fire extinguisher with the outlet air volume as the target.
[0037] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0038] The dimensional parameters of the impeller blade 2 were improved, including the dimensions on the horizontal plane and the dimensions perpendicular to the impeller plane; the geometric configuration of the impeller blade 2 was improved, and the geometric parameters of the impeller blade 2 and the volute were optimized as a whole; the energy loss of the gas flow inside the wind-powered fire extinguisher was improved, and the working efficiency of the wind-powered fire extinguisher impeller 2 was increased.
[0039] This design reduces gas flow losses and leakage between the blades and the volute by changing the dimensional parameters of the impeller blades in the radial and axial dimensions. This accelerates the gas flow velocity in the pipe of the wind-powered fire extinguisher, reduces the required input power of the impeller at the same rotational speed, and increases the outlet total pressure and flow velocity, thereby improving the working efficiency of the wind-powered fire extinguisher impeller.
[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present invention.
[0041] Based on the above, this utility model also has the following embodiments:

The blade's outer curve is an arc shape formed by multiple tangent arc segments spliced together. The arc-shaped blade can be regarded as being formed by tangent splicing of L01, R01, and R02 in the axial section of the impeller, and can be regarded as being formed by splicing of line segment L03, arc R03, and R04 in the radial section. The entire blade is composed of segmented arc splicing.
[0043] This invention utilizes the Taguchi robust design method and an improved generalized additive model to optimize four selected dimensional parameters of the impeller blades, thereby improving the outlet flow rate and operational performance of the wind-powered fire extinguisher. Based on the selected four parameters, this invention employs a four-factor, four-level orthogonal experimental design. Range analysis is used to analyze the simulated orthogonal experimental results, and a generalized additive model considering parameter interactions is used for predictive analysis to determine the optimal combination of parameter levels.
[0044] This invention employs an additive manufacturing process for integral molding. Resin printing material is selected to ensure the structural stability of the impeller body during operation. 3D printing technology is used to manufacture the impeller body to ensure that the impeller blades have the same structural dimensional parameters as the design results, while improving production efficiency.

[0047]
[0048]
[0049] Optimization principle: In the optimization design, this utility model optimizes the dimensional parameters of the impeller blade 2 in two reference planes, axial and radial. In the two reference planes, the outline of the impeller blade 2 is standardized into an arc-shaped outline composed of several tangent and connected arcs. By selecting characteristic dimensions in both the axial and radial directions and carrying out joint analysis, the dimensional optimization of the impeller blade 2 is completed, which improves the working efficiency of the wind-powered fire extinguisher impeller 1.
[0050] The following is an example of a four-factor, four-level orthogonal array constructed using the Taguchi analysis method:
[0051] Table 2 Parameter Selection and Horizontal Settings
[0052]
[0053] This invention uses the signal-to-noise ratio (S / N ratio) instead of the mass loss function in the Taguchi robust design method. A higher S / N ratio indicates better performance of the wind-powered fire extinguisher; therefore, the S / N ratio with high visibility characteristics is used as a benchmark. After obtaining the S / N ratio for each parameter level, a generalized additive model (GAM) is used to predict the nonlinear relationship between the outlet flow rate and different impeller blade size parameters. Since the multiple impeller blade size parameters interact with each other on the wind-powered fire extinguisher's efficiency, this invention adds interaction terms to the original GAM nonlinear expression to improve the model's prediction results, ultimately obtaining the optimal parameter combination.
[0054] Working principle: During operation, the gasoline engine drives the impeller 1 to rotate at high speed, generating high-speed gas flow in the volute. Outside air is drawn in through negative pressure and accelerated by the rotation of the blades 2 before flowing out through the ventilation duct. By changing the dimensional parameters of the impeller blades 2, the gas flow velocity in the impeller 1, as well as the total pressure and wind speed at the outlet of the wind-powered fire extinguisher, are increased, effectively improving the working efficiency of the impeller.
[0055] The blade inlet angle A01, blade outlet angle A02, blade inlet length L01, and blade root cutting size L02 need to be selected within the range. R01, R02, R03, and R04 can be automatically fitted based on the selected blade inlet angle A01, blade outlet angle A02, blade inlet length L01, and blade root cutting size L02.
[0056] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
