  • Patent number: 8033793
    Abstract: The present invention provides an impeller in which a metallic bush can be inserted correctly into a synthetic resin impeller main body manufactured by resin molding using a die, and a determination as to whether or not the impeller has been manufactured correctly can be made easily. The impeller comprises: a metallic bush comprising a circumferential boss portion having a substantially truncated cone-shaped throttle portion positioned on a front surface axial end side, a periaxial support boss portion positioned in an axial center, and a circumferential protruding portion positioned on a back surface axial end side; and an impeller main body made of synthetic resin and formed with a V-shaped bulging portion that bulges axially in the center of a front surface side of a disk-shaped vane portion fulcrum, in which a plurality of vanes are formed integrally on the periphery of the V-shaped bulging portion.

  • Patent number: 7934908
    Abstract: The present invention provides a manufacturing method for an impeller with which molding and high-quality finishing can be performed extremely easily and quickly through resin molding using a die, and an impeller manufactured by the impeller manufacturing method. A metallic bush is disposed in a die, whereupon a resin material is injected through a gate in the die. A connecting portion between an unnecessary resin portion formed from residual resin material in the gate and a resin impeller main body molded around the bush is formed to be thin, and the unnecessary resin portion is removed from the impeller main body using pushing or withdrawing means.
