Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of impeller manufacturing technology, and in particular to a rubber-coated impeller structure. Background Technology
[0002] In impeller manufacturing, using PEEK material for injection molding overmolded metal inserts combines the high strength of metal with the excellent wear resistance, chemical resistance, and high-temperature resistance of PEEK. However, due to the low elongation at break of PEEK, cracking is prone to occur during injection molding, and the bond between PEEK and the metal insert is insufficient, easily leading to the overmolding layer peeling off, severely affecting the impeller's performance and lifespan. Current technologies typically employ simple surface roughening treatments to enhance bonding, but this method has limited effectiveness and cannot fundamentally solve the aforementioned problems.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a rubber-coated impeller structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a rubber-coated impeller structure.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a rubber-coated impeller structure, including an impeller body and a rubber coating layer covering the outside of the impeller body; the impeller body has a plurality of blades evenly distributed along the circumference; the ends of the blades are evenly distributed with a plurality of locking grooves along the circumference, and the two ends of the blades are evenly distributed with a plurality of fixing holes; the rubber coating layer is tightly wrapped around the impeller body through the locking grooves and fixing holes.
[0006] The impeller body is made of metal.
[0007] The material of the coating layer is PEEK.
[0008] The locking groove is a dovetail groove arranged vertically, and the two ends of the dovetail groove pass through the two end faces of the blade portion.
[0009] The sharp edge of the dovetail groove has a chamfer.
[0010] The fixing hole is a threaded hole.
[0011] The fixing holes are arranged in a matrix on the end face of the blade.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: Several locking grooves are evenly distributed circumferentially at the end of the blade portion, and several fixing holes are evenly distributed on both ends of the blade portion. The rubber coating material fills the locking grooves and fixing holes under high temperature and pressure. After cooling and solidification, the locking grooves form a mechanical lock, restricting the rubber coating from sliding along the surface of the impeller body. The rubber coating material in the fixing holes forms a rivet-like fixing structure, further enhancing the connection strength between the rubber coating and the impeller body. Simultaneously, the evenly distributed locking grooves and fixing holes structure allows the shrinkage stress of the rubber coating material during injection molding to be uniformly dispersed, effectively avoiding cracking caused by the low elongation at break of the rubber coating material. Moreover, the locking grooves and fixing holes on the impeller body can be achieved through conventional machining, resulting in low process costs and ease of mass production. It can be widely applied in the manufacturing of various impeller products requiring rubber coating injection molding. Attached Figure Description

[0019] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment of a rubber-coated impeller structure includes an impeller body 1 and a rubber coating layer 2 covering the outside of the impeller body 1; the impeller body 1 has a plurality of blade portions 3 evenly distributed circumferentially; the ends of the blade portions 3 have a plurality of locking grooves 4 evenly distributed circumferentially, and the two end faces of the blade portions 3 have a plurality of fixing holes 5 evenly distributed; the rubber coating layer 2 is tightly wrapped around the impeller body 1 through the locking grooves 4 and the fixing holes 5.
[0020] Furthermore, the impeller body 1 is made of metal, which not only provides structural stability but also facilitates processing.
[0021] Furthermore, the material of the overlay layer 2 is PEEK.
[0022] Furthermore, the locking groove 4 is a dovetail groove arranged vertically, and the two ends of the dovetail groove penetrate the two end faces of the blade portion 3.
