Description
- This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2012-0056257, filed on May 25, 2012, entitled “Impeller for Electric Blower”, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this application.
- 1. Technical Field
- The present invention relates to an impeller for an electric blower.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Generally, an impeller for an electric blower is used in a state in which it is connected to a motor in order to suck a fluid. More specifically, an upper portion of a fan-motor for a vacuum cleaner is provided with an impeller that is a centrifugal fan for air suction, wherein the impeller is connected to a shaft of a driving motor to thereby rotate.
- However, as disclosed in the following Prior Art Document, an impeller according to the prior art includes an upper plate, a lower plate, and a blade; however, the upper plate, the lower plate, and the blade are separately manufactured and then coupled to each other, such that stress due to centrifugal force and aerodynamic force is concentrated on a coupling part at the time of rotation of the impeller. Therefore, the coupling part may be damaged due to the concentration of the stress at the time of high-speed rotation of the impeller.
- In addition, the impeller for an electric blower according to the prior art has a thin thickness, such that a change in inner diameter thereof is large at the time of process measurement and assembling treatment. Particularly, in the case of coupling a shaft to the impeller, abrasion occurs at a shaft coupling part of the impeller and eccentricity occurs at the time of assembling, such that a motor is driven in an unbalanced form and the coupling part is not firm, thereby deteriorating firmness and stability.

a blade positioned between the upper plate and the lower plate,
wherein the lower plate includes a burring part formed at an inner diameter portion thereof to which a shaft is insertedly coupled.
2. The impeller as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the burring part is protruded so that the inner diameter portion of the lower plate into which the shaft is inserted stands up vertically toward the upper plate.
3. The impeller as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the shaft is insertedly coupled to the burring part of the lower plate, and the nut is screw-coupled to an upper end portion of the shaft so as to be positioned at an upper end portion of the burring part.
4. The impeller as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising auxiliary members positioned at an inner diameter portion of the impeller to which the shaft is coupled.
5. The impeller as set forth in claim 4 , wherein the auxiliary members are coupled to both surfaces of the lower plate, having the lower plate therebetween, and an upper surface of the auxiliary member positioned on an upper surface of the lower plate is fixed by the nut.
6. An impeller for an electric blower comprising:
an upper plate;
a lower plate; and
a blade positioned between the upper plate and the lower plate,
wherein the lower plate includes a burring part formed at an inner diameter portion thereof to which a shaft is insertedly coupled and a washer part extended in a direction perpendicular to the burring part.
7. The impeller as set forth in claim 6 , wherein the burring part is protruded so that the inner diameter portion of the lower plate into which the shaft is inserted stands up vertically toward the upper plate, and the washer part is extended in the direction perpendicular to the burring part so as to contact the lower plate.
8. The impeller as set forth in claim 6 , wherein the shaft is insertedly coupled to the burring part of the lower plate, and the nut is screw-coupled to an upper end portion of the shaft so as to be positioned at an upper end portion of the burring part.
9. The impeller as set forth in claim 6 , further comprising auxiliary members positioned at an inner diameter portion of the impeller to which the shaft is coupled.
10. The impeller as set forth in claim 9 , wherein the auxiliary member is coupled to one surface of the lower plate facing the washer part.
