Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a housing for a radial blower.
  • radial blowers are employed for conveying and drawing in the air, gas and flue gas to boilers and heating and air-conditioning systems.
  • Radial blowers mainly comprise an impeller or fan being rotatably arranged within a suitably shaped housing, also said volute or scroll of the blower.
  • the housing has a substantially toroidal shape with two sidewalls and one peripheral wall.
  • an inlet aperture in a radially inner position but not necessarily in the centre of the housing.
  • a substantial portion tangential to an outlet aperture is provided in the peripheral wall.
  • the impeller may rotate due to an electric motor being associated to the opposite sidewall of the inlet aperture, in which either the motor rotor or a propeller shaft extends through a suitable hole located in the sidewall from outside the housing to the inside thereof, where it is connected to the impeller in a rotatably integral manner.
  • the prior art volutes are manufactured as two separate pieces or half-shells in metallic material, for example aluminium, which are then screw assembled by interposing either an elastic or elastomeric gasket in order to provide a hermetic seal housing around the impeller.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a housing for radial blowers, having such characteristics as to overcome the mentioned problems with reference to the prior art.
  • a housing for a radial blower comprising at least two half-shells being connected to each other by means of connecting means and means for tightly sealing the housing along a connecting line of the two half-shells,
  • the connecting means comprise a welding (5) which extends along said connecting line such as to connect and seal the two half-shells along the connecting line.
  • figure 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the housing according to the invention.
  • figure 2 is a further perspective view of the housing from figure 1;
  • figure 3 is a perspective view of an outer side of a half-shell of the housing from figures 1 and 2;
  • figure 4 is a perspective view of an inner side of the half-shell of the housing from figures 1 and 2;
  • figure 5 is a perspective view of an inner side of a second half-shell of the housing from figures 1 and 2.
  • a housing 1 for a radial blower has been generally indicated with reference 1.
  • the housing 1 comprises at least two half-shells 2, 3 being connected to each other by means of connecting means and means for tightly sealing the housing 1 along a connecting line 4 of the two half-shells 2, 3.
  • the two half-shells 2, 3 of housing 1 are manufactured, for example by means of injection moulding, in weldable plastic material, preferably heat sealable, and are connected to each other by means of a welding 5 which extends along said connecting line 4.
  • Welding 5 has the double function of connecting and sealing the two half-shells 2, 3 along connecting line 4.
  • the interposition of a gasket between the half-shells can be wholly overcome.
  • the base material of the two half-shells 2, 3 being made of plastic is locally melted while welding along connecting line 4, thus providing a close connection of the two half-shells with continuity of material. In this manner, possible dimensional and form tolerance of the two half-shells may be also easy to compensate.
  • welding 5 is a ultrasonic welding. After the impeller has been inserted (not shown in figures), the two half-shells 2, 3 are approached to one another along connecting line 4 and a ultrasonic generator is guided along this connecting line. Due to the ultrasonic power, the plastic material of the two half-shells is heated and locally melted at the connecting line 4, and said welding 5 is then achieved.
  • welding 5 is a vibration welding, particularly a linear vibration welding.
  • the two half-shells 2, 3 are approached to one another along connecting line 4 and caused to vibrate relative to each other.
  • the vibration kinetic energy is then converted, by means of friction along connecting line 4, into heat which locally melts the plastic material of half-shells 2, 3 at the connecting line 4, and welding 5 is then achieved.
  • the plastic material of half-shells 2, 3 is a polymer being provided with an electro-conductive additive, such as a coal dust charge, such as to make the housing electrostatically dissipative.
  • an electro-conductive additive such as a coal dust charge, such as to make the housing electrostatically dissipative. This is particularly significant in order to avoid the accumulation of electrostatic charge which may discharge by means of sparks.
  • the half-shell material is further reinforced by means of fibres, such as fibreglass or other filler.
  • fibres such as fibreglass or other filler.
  • an inlet aperture 6 being formed in one of the two half-shells 2, 3 is provided with a housing 7 in order to accommodate either an elastic or elastomeric gasket (not shown in figures).
  • the gasket and the corresponding half-shell 3 thereof are joined together by means of over-moulding or comoulding.
  • an outlet aperture 8 being formed in one of the two half-shells is also provided with a housing 9 in order to accommodate either an elastic or elastomeric gasket (not shown in figures).
  • this second gasket and the corresponding half-shell 2 thereof are also joined together by means of over-moulding or comoulding.
  • One of the two half-shells 2, 3 comprises a plurality of fastening posts 10, preferably three posts being provided by means of injection moulding as one piece with said half-shell 2.
  • Each fastening post 10 is provided with a base portion 11, and an end 12 protruding therefrom has a diameter lower than the diameter of the base portion 11.
  • the end 12 is plastically deformable, for example by means of ultrasonic striking such as to form a rivet head suitable to connect a motor (not shown in figures) to housing 1.
  • the motor comprises for example either a motor cap or a motor housing having three slotted connecting holes which can be inserted from over the ends 12 of the fastening posts 10 and then laid on the base portions 11 thereof. Then, ends 12 may be deformed by means of ultrasonic striking in order to obtain the above mentioned rivet heads which make the connection substantially irreversible between the housing and the motor.
  • the impeller is also made of plastic material and, preferably, reinforced by means of fibres or other filler.
  • the housing and the blower according to the present invention have several advantages. They enable a reduction in the number of single pieces to be assembled and have a better seal and a lower weight under the same resistance. Furthermore, the need to accurately interpose a separate gasket between the two half-shells before they are connected to one another being overcome, the invention allows the manufacture of the radial blower to be automated.
