Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] [0001] The present invention relates to a fan impeller, and more particularly to a fan impeller on a heat dissipating fan. [0002] [0003] [0004] On August 26, 099, a kind of application of electronic components scattered with the rapid development of the computer industry, the chip method #古ώ chasing the gap between the high-functionality of the heat problem The more serious? Face & ^ In order to effectively dissipate the heat generated by the electronic heating element to the outside of the system, to maintain the electronic heating element operating at a suitable temperature, ig嗤···〇 Tian-t is usually used for private use to provide a large amount of cooling fan to assist the heat dissipation of the electronic heating element, so that the electronic heating element can operate stably and prolong the life of the heating element. ... At present, the cooling fan is mainly divided into two categories: bribe fan and centrifugal fan. The efficiency of the cooling fan in various types of cooling fans is nothing more than changing the shape of the blade to enhance the W force and increase the fan area and length. Increase the flow rate and flow rate of the cooling fan. 3 The above method of changing the shape of the blade and increasing the length of the blade can improve the flow rate and flow rate of the cooling fan, but usually causes the blade strength to decrease, and then the blade vibrates when the cooling fan rotates at a high speed (if resonance occurs) When the vibration is more serious, 'the vibration of the fan blade causes the airflow to be unstable and causes a deeper sound. 'The drop in strength will make the blade easy to bend. If the blade is running at high speed for a long time, the blade will be permanently bent and deformed. The above-mentioned insufficient strength and easy deformation of the fan blade seriously affect the service life and performance of the entire heat dissipation fan. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a fan impeller having a higher strength. 096125596 Form No. A0101 Page 3 / Total 12 Page 0993306881-0 1334530 [0006] [0007] [0008] [0009] [0010] 096125596 August 26, 2008, the replacement page is a fan impeller, including the hub and ring At a plurality of blades around the hub, at least one thin line passes through each of the blades to form a ring whose center is located on the axis of the fan wheel. A fan wheel includes a hub and a plurality of blades extending outwardly from the hub, the free ends of the plurality of blades being coupled to each other by at least one thin wire. The fan impeller is formed by forming a ring on each of the blades to form a ring, and connecting the separated blades into a whole body, thereby strengthening the strength of the blade, preventing the blade from being deformed during high-speed operation, and effectively reducing The vibration of the fan blades increases the efficiency of the fan impeller. [Embodiment] Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 at the same time. In this embodiment, a centrifugal fan is taken as an example to describe the structure of the fan impeller. The fan wheel includes a hub 10, a ring plate 11 and a plurality of blades 12. The hub 10 is circular, and its center is connected to a rotating shaft (not shown). The rotating shaft can be received in the bearing of the cooling fan, so that the fan impeller is rotatably mounted in the fan frame of the cooling fan, and the stator of the cooling fan is opposite. Turn. The ring plate 11 is looped on the outer peripheral surface of the hub 10, and each of the blades 12 has an elongated shape and radially extends outward from the ring plate 11. The blade 12 has a connecting section 121 connected to the ring plate 11 and a free end 122 opposite the connecting section 121. The connecting portion 121 of the blade 12 is disposed on the ring plate 11 and the end of the connecting portion 121 is spaced apart from the outer peripheral surface of the hub 10. The height of the blade 12 is greater than the thickness of the ring plate 11, so that the upper and lower sides of the connecting portion 121 of the blade 12 project above and below the ring plate 11. Near the end of the free end 122 of the blade 12 and at the middle of the height direction of the blade 12, there is a form number A0101. Page 4/12 pages 0993306881-0 Aug. 26, 2008 Correction replacement page 1334530 A through hole for A thin line 14 passes through. The thin wire 14 has a high mechanical strength. In the present embodiment, the thin wire 14 is made of steel, and of course, it can be made of other materials having high strength. The thin wire 14 has a uniform diameter, and the thin wire 14 passes through a through hole in the free end 122 of each blade 12 to form a circular ring whose center is located on the axis of the hub 10 so that the fan impeller is in operation Has a good stability. [0011] When the fan impeller is formed, the annular thin wire 14 may be preset in the mold of the forming fan impeller, so that the thin wire 14 is integrally fixed in the blade 12 during the injection molding of the impeller. When the fan impeller is in operation, since the thin wire 14 forms a ring and is fixed in the blade 12, the free ends 122 of the blades 12 which are originally separated from each other are integrally connected to strengthen the strength of the blade 12 and suppress the blade. The bending deformation of 12 prevents the fan blade 12 from vibrating at high speed, thereby improving the stability and service life of the entire fan impeller. At the same time, the thin wire 14 has a uniform diameter, and the center of the ring formed by it is located on the axis of the hub 10, that is, the ring formed by the thin wire 14 is uniformly symmetrical with respect to the center of the hub 10, and is fixedly disposed on the blade 12 In this way, the center of gravity of the fan impeller can be prevented from shifting, and it will not become an unstable factor in the operation of the fan impeller, but only the effect of strengthening the strength and stability of the fan blade 12 of the fan impeller. In addition, a ring plate 11 is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the hub 10. The upper and lower sides of the connecting portion 121 of the blade 12 protrude from the upper and lower surfaces of the ring plate 11, and the connecting portion 121 of the blade 12 is The protruding portion can push the flow of the gas on the upper and lower sides of the ring plate 11 to generate an air flow, so that the flow rate of the centrifugal fan is increased. By the ring plate 11, the connection strength of the blade 12 can be increased to ensure that the blade 12 is not broken by the excessively high rotational speed. 096125596 Form No. A0101 Page 5 / Total 12 Page 0993306881-0 1334530 Modified on August 26, 099 [0012] Another embodiment of a fan impeller is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, which also includes a circular hub 1 〇a, a ring plate 11a disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the hub l〇a, and a plurality of elongated blade blades 2a radiating outwardly from the ring plate 11a.

To further enhance the mechanical strength and stability of the blade 12a, two thin wires 14a, 14b are formed at the lower ends of the blade end i2a at the lower end of the blade i2a to form two circular rings. The thin wires 14a, 14b are also made of a material having high strength properties such as metal and have a uniform diameter. The center of the ring formed by the thin wires 14a, 14b is also located on the axis of the hub l〇a. The other structure of the fan impeller is the same as that of the above embodiment, and no further description is given herein. [0013] Another embodiment of the fan impeller is shown in FIG. The fan impeller includes a circular hub l〇c, a ring set to the hub 1〇 (the ring plate 11c of the outer peripheral surface, and a plurality of elongated strips radiating outwardly from the ring plate 11c) as in the previous embodiment.
