Description
- This application claims priority to European Patent Application No. 16199566.7 filed on Nov. 18, 2016, the contents of which are included herein by reference
- The present invention relates generally toward an approved impeller for a fluid pump. More specifically, the present invention relates toward a monolithic impeller providing enhanced fluid dynamic.
- Fluids have been used to cool, for example, internal combustion engines for many years. The heat generated by igniting fuel within a combustion chamber is necessarily, rapidly dissipated by fluid flowing through various components of the engine, including the engine block. Fluid pumped through the engine by way of a fluid pump is required to flow at a desirable rate and efficiency necessary to dissipate heat rapidly to maintain efficiency and prevent the engine from overheating. Therefore, a high efficiency pump is desirable.
- Of primary importance to the efficiency of a pump, is efficiency of an impeller disposed within a pump chamber of the pump. As such, modern impellers used for circulating cooling fluid have become increasingly complex to meet performance objectives requiring two component manufacturing which is known to add costs, while reducing pump efficiency. Therefore, it would be desirable to provide an improved impeller of a fluid pump as manufactured at low cost, while providing enhanced efficiency over a known two component pump impeller.
- An impeller includes a gear opening defined by a cylindrical member. An inner surface of the gear opening is supplied for receiving a gear shaft. The cylindrical member defines an impeller axis. Each of a plurality of blades includes an arcuate configuration and extends radially outwardly relative to the impeller axis. Each of the plurality of blades include a proximal end disposed proximate the cylindrical member and a distal end disposed radially outwardly from the cylindrical member. A cover member extends radially outwardly to the distal end of the plurality of blades and defines a fluid inlet that is concentric with the impeller axis. A hub member is spaced from the cover member by the plurality of blades and extends radially outwardly from the cylindrical member. The proximal end of the blades extends radially inwardly of the fluid inlet and the distal end of the blades terminates at a common concentric diameter as the outermost portion of the cover member and the hub member. The impeller is formed as a monolithic construction not requiring assembly of any components requiring complex design to achieve desirable performance characteristics.
- The unique architecture of the impeller of the present invention enhances efficiency of a pump into which the impeller is installed. In addition, the impeller of the present invention is constructed of a single component of unitary design reducing cost and ease of manufacture not previously attainable of high efficiency pump impellers.
- Other advantages of the present invention will be readily appreciated, as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the impeller of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 shows an alternate perspective view of the impeller of the present invention; -
FIG. 3 shows a side sectional view of the impeller of the present invention; and -
FIG. 4 shows a top view of the impeller. - An impeller for a fluid pump is generally shown at 10 of
FIG. 1 . The impeller includes a gear opening 12 defined by acylindrical member 14. Thecylindrical member 14 includes aninner surface 16 having a plurality ofsplines 18 disposed in a parallel orientation to an impeller axis a (FIG. 4 ) defined by thecylindrical member 14. Thesplines 18 are configured to receive a splined drive shaft (not shown) for providing rotary motion to the impeller in a known manner. A plurality ofblades 20 each include an arcuate configuration extending radially outwardly relative to the impeller axis a. Each of theblades 20 include aproximal end 22 disposed proximate thecylindrical member 14 and adistal end 24 disposed radially outwardly from thecylindrical member 14. - As best represented in
FIG. 2 , afluid inlet 26 is defined by acover member 28. Thefluid inlet 26 is concentric with the impeller axis a. Thecover member 28 extends radially outwardly from thefluid inlet 26 to thedistal end 24 of each of theimpeller blades 20. In addition, thecover member 28 is substantially perpendicular to the impeller axis a. As used herein, substantially means nearly perpendicular. - The
fluid inlet 26 is further defined by aflange 30 that is also coaxial with the impeller axis a and extends outwardly from thecover member 28 in an axial direction. Theflange 30 includes a radiallyoutward wall 32 defining a cylindrical surface. Theflange 30 also includes a radiallyinward wall 34. The radiallyinward wall 34 defines a plurality ofblade elements 36, each of which are complimentary to one of the plurality ofblades 20. Each of theblade elements 36 defines anotch 38 in the radiallyinward wall 34. Theproximal end 22 of eachblade 20 is aligned with one of thenotches 38 such that theproximal end 22 extends radially inwardly from thenotch 38 beyond theflange 30. Therefore, a hypothetical ring defined by the plurality ofdistal ends 24 of theblades 20 is disposed radially inwardly of theflange 30, while, thedistal end 24 of eachblade 20 is spaced radially outwardly from thecylindrical member 14. - The
proximal end 22 of eachblade 20 includes an end portion 40 that is distinguishable from abody 42 of theblade 20. The end portion 40 of theproximal end 20 terminates at an angle that is offset from the impeller axis a. Therefore, it should be understood that the end portion 46 is disposed at an acute angle relative to the axis a. In addition, the end portion 40 is slightly offset radially outwardly from thebody 42 of eachblade 20. The unique interaction between the end portion 40, theproximal end 22 extending radially inwardly of theflange 30 and thenotch 38 defined by eachblade element 36 is believed to provide advantageous fluid dynamics resulting in an increased efficiency of thepump impeller 10. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 , ahub member 44 is spaced from thecover member 28 by theblade 20. Thehub member 44 terminates proximate the impeller axis a at thecylindrical member 14 and extends radially outwardly to thedistal end 24 of theblades 20. Therefore, the distal end of theblades 20, and the outermost portion of thecover member 28 andhub member 44 are disposed at a common concentric diameter from the impeller axis a. The outermost portion of thecover member 28 and thehub member 44 are substantially perpendicular to the impeller axis a. However, thehub member 44 presents a cross-sectional, arcuate or concave configuration progressing toward thecylindrical member 14 best seen inFIG. 3 . A lip 46 extends in an axial direction at the outermost portion of thehub member 44. - It should be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the
blade element 36 disposed in the radialinward wall 34 of thefluid inlet 26 not only enhance fluid dynamics improving the impeller efficiency, but that theblade element 36 also serve as a beneficial manufacturing feature. Theblade element 36 also functions as a die relief enabling theimpeller 10 to be of a unitary or monolithic design requiring no assembly. As such, a single die (not shown) is used to mold theimpeller 10 without requiring assembly of various components as is known to prior art impellers of this complexity. As such, theblade element 36 provides a two-fold function further enhancing not only performance of theimpeller 10 but also manufacturability. As such,impeller 10 is molded from a polymeric, or reinforced polymeric material of a single die cycle eliminating manual labor associated with assembling two piece impellers known of the prior art. - Obviously, many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. The foregoing invention has been described in accordance with the relevant legal standards; thus, the detailed description is merely exemplary other than limiting in nature. Variations and modifications to the disclosed embodiment has become apparent to those skilled in the art and do come within the scope of this invention.
- Accordingly, the scope of legal protection afforded this invention can only be determined by studying the following claims.
