Technical Field

The invention relates to a fan wheel with three-dimensionally curved impeller blades.

Background

Fan wheels with impeller blades which are curved forward or backward with respect to the direction of rotation and with impeller blades which are curved with respect to the axis of rotation of the fan wheel are known from the prior art, see for example publication DE 102017114679 a 1.

The fan impeller described in this case is used in volume flow conducting elements in the field of ventilation air conditioning technology, for example in so-called air handling units. The strength and in particular the rotational speed strength (Drehzahlfestigkeit) play a decisive role. One critical point is the material stress at the junction between the impeller blades of the fan wheel and the base disk and/or the cover disk. In order to ensure the rotational speed strength, the prior art often sets a radius in the joint area.

Disclosure of Invention

The aim of the invention is to further optimize the prior fan impeller solution in terms of the efficiency of the fan impeller, the noise generation and the possibility of realizing higher rotation speed.

This object is achieved by the following combination of features.

The invention relates to a fan wheel having a base plate, a cover plate and wheel blades arranged around the rotational axis of the fan wheel, which extend along the blade length from the blade leading edge to the blade trailing edge. The impeller blade is divided into a front section which extends from the front edge of the blade to the rear edge of the blade, a rear section which extends from the rear edge of the blade to the front edge of the blade, and a connecting section which forms the connection between the front section and the rear section. In the extension from the base disk to the cover disk, the front and rear sections of the impeller blades are curved opposite one another.

One embodiment variant of the fan wheel is characterized in that: the front and rear sections of the impeller blades are curved opposite to each other, in particular three-dimensionally, with respect to the shortest connection between the base plate and the cover plate.

In an advantageous embodiment, the impeller blades are curved in an arc. The arc radius of the arc extension is preferably constant or substantially constant.

In addition, the following technical solutions of the fan wheel are beneficial: the extension of the front section is at least 5%, preferably 10-40% of the length of the blade. It is also advantageous: the extension of the rear section is at least 5%, preferably 10-40% of the length of the blade.

In the fan impeller, a joining section connects the front section and the rear section. Wherein the engagement extends in particular continuously along the length of the blade. The change in curvature of the front and rear sections (i.e. the opposite curvature of the front and rear sections to each other) is preferably achieved by a uniform extension in the connecting section.

According to one embodiment of the fan wheel, which is advantageous from the point of view of flow technology, the following arrangement is preferred: the front section is curved towards the axis of rotation and the rear section is curved away from the axis of rotation.

In the fan impeller, the base plate preferably also has a hub on which the impeller blades are fixed or formed. The hub forms an interface with the motor and is either integrally formed with or disposed on the chassis.

Further, the fan wheel has a cover disk which at least partially, in particular completely, covers the axial blade end edges of the impeller blades. The cover disk then forms the axial intake opening of the fan wheel.

One development of the fan wheel is characterized in that: the impeller blades terminate on the chassis radially inwardly at a distance (R) from the outer radius of the chassis which is at least 5% of the total diameter (D) of the chassis, i.e. R/D >0.05, further preferred in the range of 5% -25%, further preferred between 10% and 15%. The tips of the impeller blades are therefore significantly recessed relative to the radially outer edge of the chassis, allowing fluid to flow against the chassis over a longer distance.

In one embodiment, the fan wheel is further characterized by: the chassis has an elliptical cross-section at its radially outer edge section such that the radially outer edge of the chassis extends parallel or substantially parallel to the rotational axis.

In an exemplary embodiment, the cover disk also has a radially inner section which defines an axial extension parallel to the rotational axis. The impeller blades do not abut the axially extending section. The cover disk then extends further, in particular radially, and covers the impeller blades in a contacting manner.

Furthermore, the following embodiments of the cover disk are advantageous: the cover disc has an at least partially curved extension, as seen in a lateral cross-section, and defines an axial direction change at its radially outer rim section.

In an advantageous embodiment of the fan wheel, the following is provided: the impeller blades extend radially outward and around the axis of rotation from the leading edge to the trailing edge, respectively. The impeller blades are thus curved forward or backward relative to the direction of rotation.

The fan impeller according to the invention is designed in particular as a radial or diagonal impeller. Preferably, the fan wheel is made in one piece, in particular from plastic. However, a multi-piece impeller constructed of metal, particularly sheet metal, may also be used.

Features relating to further advantageous developments of the invention are explained in detail below with reference to the drawings and with reference to preferred embodiments of the invention. Wherein:

FIG. 2 is a second perspective view of the fan wheel of FIG. 1;

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 and 2 show in perspective view a fan impeller 1 embodied as a one-piece radial impeller, having a base plate 4, a cover plate 3 defining a suction opening 25, and impeller blades 2 arranged back-curved in a blade ring about a rotational axis RA between the base plate 4 and the cover plate 3.

The impeller blades 2 extend circumferentially and radially outwardly from an inlet-side blade leading edge 5 to an outlet-side blade trailing edge 6 from a hub 9 formed by the chassis 4. The cover disk 3 completely covers the axial end edges of the impeller blades 2. In operation, fluid is drawn in axially by the suction openings 25 and blown out radially via the channels formed between the impeller blades 2.

The geometry of the impeller blades 2 can be clearly understood with reference to fig. 3 and 4. Along the blade length from the blade leading edge 5 to the blade trailing edge 6, each impeller blade has three sections, namely a front section 10 extending from the blade leading edge 5 to the blade trailing edge 6, a rear section 12 extending from the blade trailing edge 6 to the blade leading edge 5, and a joining section 11 forming a join between the front section 10 and the rear section 12. The cross-section in fig. 3 clearly illustrates the front section 10, while the cross-section in fig. 4 clearly illustrates the rear section. In the extension of the impeller blades 2 from the base disk 4 to the cover disk 3, the front section 10 and the rear section 12 are curved in opposite arcs relative to the axis of rotation RA and are curved in three dimensions. The shortest connection between the base plate 4 and the cover plate 3 is indicated by lines 8, 8' in order to better understand the bending. The arcuate bend therein is such that: the front section 10 and the rear section 12 of the impeller blade 2 are three-dimensionally curved opposite one another, wherein in the illustrated embodiment the front section 10 is curved towards the axis of rotation (see fig. 3) and the rear section 12 is curved away from the axis of rotation (see fig. 4). However, the bending towards the axis of rotation RA and the bending away from the axis of rotation RA may also be implemented in reverse. The engagement of the impeller blades 2 with the base plate 4 and the cover plate 3 is performed in a manner inclined to the rotation axis. The impeller blades 2 together with the chassis 4 thus form, in a lateral section, a V-shaped connecting region 18, 18 'in the front section 10 and in the rear section 12, respectively, wherein the opening angle of the connecting region 18' formed by the impeller blades 2 and the chassis 4 in the rear section 12 is significantly smaller than the opening angle of the connecting region 18 in the front section 10.

The front section 10 and the rear section 12 each extend over approximately 30% of the total length of the blade, with the connecting section 11 between them accounting for the remainder. The connecting section 11 extends continuously along the blade length, so that the turning of the impeller blade 2 along the curvature of the blade length from the front section 10 to the rear section 12 is uniform and does not change steeply over the entire axial height of the impeller blade 2.

Referring to fig. 1 and 3, the impeller blades 2 are significantly set or ended radially inward relative to the outer radius (i.e., outermost edge) of the chassis 4. Fig. 1 accordingly shows the distance R between the blade trailing edge 6 and the outer radius of the chassis 4. The ratio of the distance R to the maximum overall diameter D of the chassis is set to 0.13R/D.

Furthermore, both the lid plate 3 and the base plate 4 are specially shaped. Viewed radially from the inside to the outside, the cover disk 3 firstly has a section 21 which extends axially parallel to the rotational axis RA and defines a suction opening 25. Viewed in a lateral cross section, an arcuately curved extension covering the impeller blade 2 follows, which in turn, in the radially outer edge section 23, like a wingtip Winglet (winjet), changes into an axial direction parallel to the axis of rotation RA. The cover disk 3 thus performs a complete axial direction change by its radial extension. As shown in fig. 4, the outer edge section 23 adjoins the impeller blade 2.

The chassis 4 has an elliptical cross section at its radially outer edge section 22 and transitions from extending radially outward to extending axially such that the radially outer edge of the chassis 4 extends parallel or substantially parallel to the rotational axis RA.

The practice of the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. Rather, the variants likewise described above can be correspondingly applied to the embodiments shown in the figures, for example, in the rear section adjoining the trailing edge of the blade, the impeller blade is curved toward the axis of rotation, and in the front section adjoining the leading edge of the blade, the impeller blade is curved away from the axis of rotation in the opposite direction. Alternatives may also be employed on the base tray and/or cover tray.
