Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind turbine impeller technology, and more specifically, to a rivetless one-piece molded impeller. Background Technology

[0002] A fan is a machine that uses input mechanical energy to increase gas pressure and discharge gas; it is a type of driven fluid machinery. In China, "fan" is a common abbreviation for gas compression and gas transportation machinery, and generally includes ventilators, blowers, and wind turbines. They are widely used in factories, mines, tunnels, cooling towers, vehicles, ships, and buildings for ventilation, dust removal, and cooling, as well as for ventilation and induced draft in boilers and industrial furnaces. The fan impeller is a key core component of the fan; good design, reliable quality, and superior performance are decisive factors in ensuring the normal and stable operation of the unit.

[0003] During impeller assembly, the blades are clamped together by the action of the upper and lower hubs. However, it is difficult to ensure that the angles of each blade are consistent. When the impeller drives the gas to form an airflow during operation, it is easy to generate disordered vortices, which increases wind resistance and leads to a shorter service life. Based on the above problems, we propose a rivetless one-piece molded impeller. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to practical needs, and provide a rivetless one-piece molded impeller to solve the problems of traditional assembled impellers being prone to deformation, generating chaotic vortices when driving gas to form airflow during operation, thereby increasing wind resistance and resulting in a short service life.

A through hole is provided in the middle of the connecting part, and the through hole is connected to the bottom of the connecting screw hole.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0021] This utility model relates to a rivetless, one-piece molded impeller, comprising a central hub assembly 1, a connecting assembly 2, and a blade assembly 3. The central hub assembly 1 includes a fixed base 101, a connecting post 102 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed base 101, and a connecting screw hole 103 formed inside the connecting post 102 and penetrating the fixed base 101.

The fixed base 101 is used to connect to a connecting arm 201, and the connecting post 102 is used to form the connecting screw hole 103, which is used to connect to the output end of a drive mechanism to transmit rotational power. The connecting assembly 2 is evenly distributed on the edge of the fixed base 101, and the blade assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the central hub assembly 1 and the connecting assembly 2. The connecting assembly 2 and the fixed base 101 are integrally die-cast. The blade assembly 3, the central hub assembly 1, and the connecting assembly 2 are integrally die-cast. This invention, by designing the central hub assembly 1, connecting assembly 2, and blade assembly 3 as an integral die-cast unit, eliminates the need for rivet connections, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance. During operation, it exhibits low wind resistance, low noise, enhanced toughness, and is less prone to deformation and vibration, thus improving stability and extending service life. Furthermore, by integrating the central hub assembly 1, connecting assembly 2, and blade assembly 3 into a single die-cast unit, compared to traditional assembled impellers, the overall molding and manufacturing process is simplified, reducing manufacturing costs by 20%. The elimination of rivet connections also reduces overall weight, resulting in stronger and more concentrated airflow and a longer blowing distance.

[0022] Specifically, the connecting component 2 includes a connecting arm 201 uniformly fixedly connected to the edge of the fixing seat 101, a reinforcing plate 202 fixedly connected to one end of the connecting arm 201, and a first flow surface 203 formed on the surface of the reinforcing plate 202. The connecting arm 201 is used to connect the fixing seat 101 and the reinforcing plate 202. The reinforcing plate 202 is used to connect the blade body 302 and to enhance the structural strength of the connection between the blade body 302 and the central hub assembly 1. The first flow surface 203 is used to reduce flow separation and resistance and improve energy conversion efficiency.

[0023] Specifically, the blade assembly 3 includes a connecting part 301 fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base 101, a blade body 302 fixedly connected to the edge of the connecting part 301, a second flow section 303 formed on one side of the surface of the blade body 302, and a third flow section 304 formed on the other side of the surface of the blade body 302.

[0024] It is worth mentioning that a locking screw hole 104 is provided on one side of the connecting column 102, and the locking screw hole 104 is connected to the connecting screw hole 103 to improve the stability of the connection. A through hole 305 is provided in the middle of the connecting part 301, and the through hole 305 is connected to the bottom of the connecting screw hole 103. The through hole 305 is used to facilitate the connection of the blade assembly 3 to the output end of the drive mechanism.

[0025] It is worth noting that there are three sets of connecting components 2, which are distributed in a ring at equal angles on the edge of the central hub assembly 1. There are also three sets of blade bodies 302, and the top of the blade body 302 is connected to the bottom of the reinforcing plate 202 on the side close to the reinforcing plate 202, thus forming an integrated structure to avoid inconsistencies in angle caused by installation errors.

[0026] Working Principle: This embodiment provides a rivetless one-piece molded impeller. In use, the connecting column 102 is first connected to the output end of the drive mechanism through the connecting screw hole 103. Then, the impeller is fixed and locked by bolts and locking screw holes 104. The connecting component 2 and the blade assembly 3, the center hub assembly 1, the connecting component 2 and the blade assembly 3 are integrally die-cast, eliminating the need for rivet connections. This results in an aesthetically pleasing appearance, low wind resistance and noise during operation, enhanced toughness, resistance to deformation, and good stability, which helps extend service life.
