  • Patent number: 6634856
    Abstract: Integrally formed stamping sheet-metal blades having 3D structure for impeller or diffuser of a centrifugal pump or blower includes at least two integral forming blade or vane members. Each blade or vane member has a plurality of relatively short 3D blades or vanes extending radially outward and an engaging edge of selected shape. Two or more blade or vane members may be positioned and stacked together through mating the engaging edge and be spot welded to form a complete impeller or diffuser assembly. The blade or vane may be joined to form a completed smooth blade or vane, or may be spaced from each other to form a multi-row blade or vane assembly. The impeller and vane assembly may be made with less number of stamping molds and jigs. Production is less expensive. Positioning and assembly of the blade and vane is easier at a lower cost.

  • Patent number: 6220819
    Abstract: A centrifugal pump impeller for easy positioning and avoid producing turbulence, includes a hub, a rear cover plate engaged with the hub, a front cover plate having an inlet at a front end thereof, and a plurality of vanes. Each vane has a front blade engaged with the front cover plate, a rear blade engaged with the rear cover plate and a blade to bridge the front and rear blade. The front blade has an indent section adjacent the inlet so that the front end of the front blade wont extend outside the front cover plate when the vane engages with the front cover plate. The rear blade has a curved front edge adjacent the spindle to make closed contact with the hub. The indent section and the curved front edge enable the impeller has smooth surface at the inlet without producing turbulence. The front and rear ends of the rear blade have respectively a vane balance hole and a positioning hole for the vane to be positioned between the front and rear cover plates precisely and easily.
