Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0044] The centrifugal impeller 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the centrifugal impeller 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a central disk 1, a blade assembly 2, and an annular frame 3.

[0046] Specifically, the centrifugal impeller 10 can be a single piece, which can be a single injection molded part. This simplifies the assembly process of the centrifugal impeller 10 and improves the reliability of the connection between the various components of the centrifugal impeller 10.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the middle plate 1 can be a disc-shaped structure, specifically a circular disc-shaped structure. The middle plate 1 can be perpendicular to the axis of the centrifugal impeller 10, that is, the thickness direction of the middle plate 1 can be the same as the axis direction of the centrifugal impeller 10.

[0048] like Figures 1-4As shown, the blade assembly 2 is located on one side of the central disk 1 along the axial direction of the centrifugal impeller 10. The blade assembly 2 includes a plurality of blades 21 spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the centrifugal impeller 10. The end face of one end of the blade 21 along the axial direction of the centrifugal impeller 10 is connected to the surface of the central disk 1 along the axial direction of the centrifugal impeller 10. The central disk 1 can connect the plurality of blades 21 together, and along the circumferential direction of the centrifugal impeller 10, the central disk 1 can fix the plurality of blades 21 at a predetermined distance and angle, so that the blades 21 can better drive the airflow.

[0049] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the annular frame 3 and the central disk 1 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the centrifugal impeller 10, and the trailing edge 212 of the blade 21 at the end opposite to the central disk 1 is connected to the inner peripheral wall of the annular frame 3. Specifically, the end of the blade 21 closer to the axis of the centrifugal impeller 10 along the radial direction is the leading edge 211, and the end of the blade 21 further away from the axis of the centrifugal impeller 10 along the radial direction is the trailing edge 212. The annular frame 3 is circular, and the blade 21 is located radially inside the annular frame 3 with its trailing edge 212 connected to the inner peripheral wall of the annular frame 3. This not only fixes the blade 21 through the annular frame 3, but also prevents the annular frame 3 from blocking the mold used to form multiple blades 21 in the center of the centrifugal impeller 10 during injection molding. This facilitates the demolding of the mold used to form multiple blades 21 in the center of the centrifugal impeller 10 from the inner space of the annular frame 3, thus facilitating the injection molding process of the centrifugal impeller 10.

[0050] In addition, such as Figures 5-8 As shown, in the cross-section of blade 21 perpendicular to the axial direction of centrifugal impeller 10, the line connecting the center of the leading edge 211 of blade 21 and the center of the trailing edge 212 of blade 21 is the chord length b. The chord length b of blade 21 gradually increases in the direction from the annular frame 3 to the central disk 1. The end of blade 21 connected to the central disk 1 is the blade root 217, and the end of blade 21 connected to the annular frame 3 is the blade tip 216. That is, the chord length of blade 21 gradually increases in the direction from the blade tip 216 to the blade root 217.

[0051] Therefore, under the same noise level, the centrifugal impeller 10 can deliver a larger air volume, meeting the air conditioning needs of larger spaces. Under the same air volume, it has lower noise, improving the comfort and sound quality of air conditioning equipment using the centrifugal impeller 10. It also has higher work capacity and higher work efficiency for the same air volume, reducing the power of the fan system.

[0052] According to the centrifugal impeller 10 of this utility model embodiment, by gradually increasing the chord length of the blades 21 in the direction from the annular frame 3 to the central plate 1, the centrifugal impeller 10 can deliver a larger air volume under the same noise level, satisfying the air conditioning needs of larger spaces. Under the same air volume, it has lower noise, improving the comfort and sound quality of air conditioning equipment using the centrifugal impeller 10, and has higher work capacity and higher work efficiency for the same air volume, reducing the power of the fan system.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the chord length of the end of blade 21 facing away from the central disk 1 is b1, and satisfies: 13mm ≤ b1 ≤ 15.5mm, that is, the chord length of the blade tip 216 is b1, and satisfies: 13mm ≤ b1 ≤ 15.5mm. For example, the chord length b1 of the end of blade 21 facing away from the central disk 1, i.e., the blade tip 216, can be 13mm, 13.3mm, 13.5mm, 13.7mm, 14mm, 14.3mm, 14.5mm, 14.7mm, 15mm, 15.3mm, or 15.5mm, etc. This allows the centrifugal impeller 10 to achieve better results in both increasing air volume and reducing noise, improving the work capacity of the centrifugal impeller 10, increasing the efficiency of the centrifugal fan 100, and simultaneously reducing noise.

[0054] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the chord length of the end of blade 21 facing away from the annular frame 3 is b2, and satisfies: 14mm ≤ b2 ≤ 16.5mm. That is, the chord length of blade root 217 is b2, and satisfies: 14mm ≤ b2 ≤ 16.5mm. For example, the chord length b2 of the end of blade 21 facing away from the annular frame 3, i.e., blade root 217, can be 14mm, 14.3mm, 14.5mm, 14.7mm, 15mm, 15.3mm, 15.5mm, 15.7mm, 16mm, 16.3mm, or 16.5mm, etc. This allows the centrifugal impeller 10 to achieve better results in both increasing airflow and reducing noise, improving the work capacity of the centrifugal impeller 10, increasing the efficiency of the centrifugal fan 100, and simultaneously reducing noise.

[0055] In a specific example of this utility model, the chord length b1 of the blade 21 at the end away from the central plate 1, i.e., the blade tip 216, can be 14 mm, and the chord length b2 of the blade 21 at the end away from the annular frame 3, i.e., the blade root 217, can be 15.1 mm. The chord length of the blade 21 at the blade tip 216 is less than the chord length of the blade 21 at the blade root 217.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, in the direction from the annular frame 3 to the central disk 1, the ratio γ of the distance L1 between a point on the same straight line as the leading edge 211 of blade 21 and the axis of centrifugal impeller 10 and the distance L2 between a point on the same straight line as the trailing edge 212 of blade 21 and the axis of centrifugal impeller 10 gradually decreases. It can be understood that in a cross-section perpendicular to the axial direction of centrifugal impeller 10, the leading edge 211 of blade 21 has a leading edge point, the distance between the leading edge point and the axis of centrifugal impeller 10 is L1, and the trailing edge 212 of blade 21 has a trailing edge point, the distance between the trailing edge point and the axis of centrifugal impeller 10 is L2, and the wheel diameter ratio is γ, where γ = L1 / L2. In the direction from the annular frame 3 to the central disk 1, the wheel diameter ratio γ gradually decreases, and multiple leading edge points and multiple trailing edge points are located on the same straight line.

[0057] For example, on a cross-section perpendicular to the axial direction of the centrifugal impeller 10, the point where the distance between the leading edge 211 of the blade 21 and the axis of the centrifugal impeller 10 is minimized can be defined as the leading edge point, and the point where the distance between the trailing edge 212 of the blade 21 and the axis of the centrifugal impeller 10 is maximized can be defined as the trailing edge point. The distance between the leading edge point and the axis of the centrifugal impeller 10 is L1, and the distance between the trailing edge point and the axis of the centrifugal impeller 10 is L2. The wheel diameter ratio is γ, where γ = L1 / L2. In the direction from the annular frame 3 to the middle disk 1, the wheel diameter ratio γ gradually decreases. It can be understood that in the direction from the annular frame 3 to the middle disk 1, when the maximum distance between the trailing edge 212 of the blade 21 and the axis of the centrifugal impeller 10 remains constant, the minimum distance between the leading edge 211 of the blade 21 and the axis of the centrifugal impeller 10 gradually decreases, and the chord length of the blade 21 gradually increases.

[0058] Therefore, under the same noise level, the centrifugal impeller 10 can deliver a larger air volume, meeting the air conditioning needs of larger spaces. Under the same air volume, it has lower noise, improving the comfort and sound quality of air conditioning equipment using the centrifugal impeller 10. It also has higher work capacity and higher work efficiency for the same air volume, reducing the power of the fan system.

[0059] In some embodiments of this utility model, the diameter ratio of the end of the blade 21 facing away from the central disk 1 is γ1, and satisfies: 0.78≤γ1≤0.85. For example, the diameter ratio γ1 of the end of the blade 21 facing away from the central disk 1 can be 0.79, 0.8, 0.81, 0.82, 0.83, 0.84, or 0.85. This allows the centrifugal impeller 10 to achieve better results in both increasing airflow and reducing noise, improving the work capacity of the centrifugal impeller 10, increasing the efficiency of the centrifugal fan 100, and simultaneously reducing noise.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, the diameter ratio of the end of the blade 21 facing away from the annular frame 3 is γ2, and satisfies: 0.75≤γ2≤0.85mm. For example, the diameter γ2 of the end of the blade 21 facing away from the annular frame 3 can be 0.75, 0.76, 0.77, 0.78, 0.79, 0.8, 0.81, 0.82, 0.83, 0.84, or 0.85, etc. This allows the centrifugal impeller 10 to achieve better results in both increasing air volume and reducing noise, improving the work capacity of the centrifugal impeller 10, increasing the efficiency of the centrifugal fan 100, and simultaneously reducing noise.

[0061] In a specific example of this utility model, the wheel diameter ratio γ1 of the end of the blade 21 facing away from the central disk 1 is 0.834, and the wheel diameter ratio γ2 of the end of the blade 21 facing away from the annular frame 3 is 0.813.

[0062] In related technologies, the blades of conventional centrifugal fans have the same outer diameter from the blade root to the blade tip. That is, from the blade root to the blade tip, the distance between the trailing edge of the blade and the axis of the centrifugal fan is equal. During the injection molding process, the mold has a certain draft angle because demolding is required. Due to the existence of the draft angle, the part of the mold corresponding to the blade root is smaller than the part of the blade tip. Therefore, a rib-like demolding rib will be generated on the trailing edge of the blade from the blade tip to the blade root, which deviates from the design shape. The demolding rib causes the airflow flowing over the blade surface to be severely separated at the tail end, resulting in a decrease in fan efficiency and an increase in noise.

[0063] It should be noted that the outer diameter of blade 21 is twice the maximum distance between the outermost contour of blade 21, i.e., the trailing edge 212 of blade 21, and the axis of centrifugal impeller 10.

[0064] In some embodiments of this utility model, in the direction from the annular frame 3 to the middle plate 1, that is, in the direction from the blade tip 216 to the blade root 217 of the blade 21, the distance between the trailing edge 212 of the blade 21 and the axis of the centrifugal impeller 10 gradually decreases. It can be understood that in the direction from the annular frame 3 to the middle plate 1, that is, in the direction from the blade tip 216 to the blade root 217 of the blade 21, the outer diameter of the blade 21 gradually decreases, and the outer diameter of the area on the blade 21 other than the connection position with the annular frame 3 is smaller than the outer diameter of the area where the blade 21 connects with the annular frame 3. This allows the changing trend of the trailing edge 212 of the blade 21 to adapt to the draft angle of the mold, reserving space for inward contraction due to drafting, so that the areas of both surfaces of the blade 21 in the thickness direction can fit with the mold, thereby avoiding the formation of demolding ribs, making the surface of the blade 21 a smooth surface, reducing separation during airflow, improving the work capacity of the centrifugal impeller 10, improving the efficiency of the centrifugal fan 100, and reducing noise.

[0065] Additionally, it is understood that, at least in the region between the annular frame 3 and the central disk 1, in the direction from the annular frame 3 to the central disk 1, the outer diameter of the centrifugal impeller 10 gradually decreases as the maximum distance between the trailing edge 212 of the blade 21 and the axis of the centrifugal impeller 10 gradually decreases.

[0066] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, there are two sets of blades 2, located on both sides of the central disk 1 along the axial direction of the centrifugal impeller 10. There are also two annular frames 3, each located on one side of the central disk 1 along the axial direction of the centrifugal impeller 10 and connected to one of the two sets of blades 2. This increases the flow rate and pressure coefficient of the centrifugal impeller 10, and the two sets of blades 2 balance the pressure distribution on both sides of the central disk 1, suppressing vortex generation and improving airflow uniformity, thereby optimizing aerodynamic performance. Furthermore, it improves the structural strength of the centrifugal impeller 10, reduces aerodynamic noise, increases efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and allows it to be adapted to more applications.

[0067] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, along the circumferential direction of the centrifugal impeller 10, multiple blades 21 of the two sets of blade groups 2 are alternately arranged, which can better improve the flow rate and pressure coefficient of the centrifugal impeller 10, improve airflow uniformity, and thus optimize aerodynamic performance. In addition, it can improve the structural strength of the centrifugal impeller 10, reduce aerodynamic noise, improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and adapt to more applications.

[0068] The following is for reference. Figures 9-12 A centrifugal fan 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described.

[0069] like Figures 9-12 As shown, the centrifugal fan 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a volute 20 and the centrifugal impeller 10 described above.

[0070] Specifically, the centrifugal impeller 10 is housed within the volute 20, which includes a main body section 201 and an outlet diffuser section 202. The main body section 201 is generally cylindrical, and the centrifugal impeller 10 is housed within it. The volute 20 has an air inlet 2011 and an air outlet 2021. At least one side of the volute 20 along the axial direction of the centrifugal impeller 10 may have an air inlet 2011, which is located on the main body section 201. One end of the outlet diffuser section 202 is connected to the peripheral wall of the main body section 201, and the other end forms the air outlet 2021. Under the action of the centrifugal impeller 10, airflow enters the volute 20 through the air inlet 2011 along the axial direction of the centrifugal impeller 10, then flows radially out to the air outlet 2021, and finally exits the volute 20.

[0071] In addition, the centrifugal fan 100 may also include a drive motor, which is mounted on the volute 20. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the centrifugal impeller 10, specifically to the central plate 1 of the centrifugal impeller 10, for driving the centrifugal impeller 10 to rotate.

[0072] Furthermore, the centrifugal fan 100 may also include a motor bracket, which may be located at one end of the volute 20 along the axial direction of the centrifugal impeller 10, and the drive motor may be fixed to the motor bracket. Of course, the centrifugal fan 100 may also include a motor cover, which is connected to the motor bracket, and the drive motor is fixed within the space defined between the motor bracket and the motor cover.

[0073] According to the centrifugal fan 100 of this utility model embodiment, by setting the centrifugal impeller 10 as described above, the chord length of the blades 21 gradually increases in the direction from the annular frame 3 to the central plate 1. Under the same noise level, the centrifugal impeller 10 can deliver a larger air volume, which can meet the air conditioning needs of larger spaces. Under the same air volume, it has lower noise, improves the comfort and sound quality of the air conditioning equipment using the centrifugal impeller 10, and has higher work capacity and higher work efficiency for the same air volume, reducing the power of the fan system.

[0074] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 9-12 As shown, the volute 20 has an air outlet diffuser section 202, one end of which forms an air outlet 2021. Inside the volute 20, in the direction facing the air outlet 2021, at least one of the opposite side walls of the air outlet diffuser section 202 in the axial direction of the centrifugal impeller 10 is inclined outward. For example, in Figures 9-12 In the example shown, in the direction of the air outlet 2021 inside the volute 20, the two opposite side walls of the air outlet diffuser section 202 along the axial direction of the centrifugal impeller 10 are inclined towards the outside of the volute 20, that is, the two opposite side walls of the air outlet diffuser section 202 along the axial direction of the centrifugal impeller 10 are inclined in a direction away from each other.

[0075] This can improve the static pressure efficiency of the centrifugal fan 100, optimize the airflow direction, reduce airflow loss, reduce noise, and improve operational stability.

[0076] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the volute 20 has a volute tongue 203, and the area of ​​the volute tongue 203 opposite to the annular frame 3 has a recess 2031 that is recessed towards the outside of the volute 20. The annular frame 3 protrudes further outward toward the centrifugal impeller 10 relative to the blades 21. When the recess 2031 is not provided on the volute tongue 203, the distance between the annular frame 3 and other areas of the centrifugal impeller 10 is closer to the volute tongue 203. Providing the recess 2031 on the volute tongue 203 at the position opposite to the annular frame 3 can increase the distance between the annular frame 3 and the volute tongue 203, preventing the annular frame 3 from colliding with the volute tongue 203 when the centrifugal fan 100 falls, thus preventing damage to the volute 20 and the centrifugal impeller 10. In addition, increasing the gap between the annular frame 3 and the volute tongue 203 can also improve airflow performance and reduce aerodynamic noise.

[0077] The following describes an air conditioning device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0078] The air conditioning equipment according to the present utility model includes the centrifugal fan 100 described above.

[0079] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioning equipment, by setting the centrifugal fan 100, including the centrifugal impeller 10, in the direction from the annular frame 3 to the central plate 1, makes the chord length of the blades 21 gradually increase. Under the same noise, the centrifugal impeller 10 can deliver a larger air volume, which can meet the air conditioning needs of a larger space. Under the same air volume, it has lower noise, improves the comfort and sound quality of the air conditioning equipment using the centrifugal impeller 10, and has higher work capacity and higher work efficiency for the same air volume, reducing the power of the fan system.
