This U.S. non-provisional patent application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2017-0147057, filed on Nov. 7, 2017 and 10-2017-0171944, filed on Dec. 14, 2017, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
BACKGROUNDThe present disclosure herein relates to an impeller, and more particularly, to an impeller performing blade flow control by disposing a plurality of secondary blades between a plurality of primary blades.
Researches on well-known fluid machinery such as a fan, a blower, and a pump have been continuously performed for the past several decades to make progress in design technique. In recent years, since requirements on noise reduction as well as performance are enhanced, and sizes of products are reduced, further higher level of design techniques are required to be developed.
A typical axial impeller applied to the fluid machinery exhibits performance thereof by using a pressure and a flow rate. Specifically, as illustrated in
However, when the streamline is extremely bent, flow separation progresses at an angle of α2 instead of an angle of α2′ that is an angle of a trailing edge (T.E.) of the blade, and a deviation angle is generated as much as a difference between α2 and α2′ (α2-α2′ (=δ)). Here, as shown in mathematical equation 1 below, the deviation angle δ is a function of soildity (σ=C/s) that is a ratio of a camber angle (Φc) at which the blade is bent, a blade chord (C), and a pitch (s) between the blades. That is, when the camber angle (Φc) increases, the deviation angle increases, and when the soildity increases, the deviation angle decreases to improve performance.
Here, δ0 is an air foil shape, mo is the soildity, and b is a constant determined according to an inlet flow angle (α1).
The related art has been focused to lengthen the chord while generating great pressure increase through lift force increase by magnifying the camber angle as large as possible while preventing flow separation or reducing an outlet deviation angle through soildity increase by increasing the number of blades and reducing the pitch between the blades. However, when the chord is lengthened, the impeller increases in a rotation shaft direction, and the camber angle for increasing a pressure is restricted due to flow separation at a negative-pressure surface.
U.S. Publication Patent No. US 2014/0233178 A1 discloses an example of improving performance by reducing a deviation angle of a blade outlet and increasing soildity by using an effect of lengthened blade as a secondary blade initiates around a trailing edge (T.E.) of a primary blade. However, the above-described invention has a limitation in that a height of the impeller increases, a length of the primary blade increases as much as a length in which the primary blade and the secondary blade overlap, and a difference in performance is insignificant.
Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1342746 discloses a typical impeller having increasing soildity by installing a plurality of secondary blades between a plurality of primary blades to reduce a blade pitch. The above-described impeller has a disadvantage in that a portion in which primary blades overlap is removed due to difficulty of injection molding to cause reduction in lift force and noise increase.
Here, ηR is an efficiency of the impeller, i.e., a percentage (%) of substantial transfer energy except for a flow loss from theoretical voltage increase caused by internal flow with respect to theoretical transfer energy.
A flow discharged from the impeller in
and a slip coefficient μE is expressed as in mathematical equation 3 by using Stodola equation.
Here, NB is the number of blades, β2 is an outlet flow angle, U2 and Cm2 are rotation velocity of an edge of the blade and a radial component of an absolute velocity of outlet flow, respectively. Referring to mathematical equations 2 and 3, a rotation component Cθ2 of an absolute velocity of an outlet necessarily increases in order to improve pressure transfer, and, to this end, a slip coefficient necessarily increases by increasing the number of blades as many as possible.
U.S. Publication Patent No. US 2009/0155048 A1 discloses an example of an effect of increasing the number of blades by installing split vanes, which are secondary blades rotating by using the same shaft as primary blades, between the primary blades in a centrifugal pump impeller. In a fan or a blower that requires flow rate increase instead of pressure increase unlike the centrifugal pump producing a great static pressure, since a ratio of a height to a diameter of the impeller is extremely greater than that of a pump, an upper portion of an impeller blade is necessarily covered by a typical shroud plate, or an outlet above the blade is necessarily covered by a circular plate having a narrow band shape to reinforce rigidity. However, this case has a difficulty in injection molding.
SUMMARYThe present invention provides an impeller in which a plurality of secondary blades are installed between primary blades without increasing a height of the impeller for performance improvement and noise reduction in the axial and centrifugal impeller. In case of the axial impeller, a blade deviation angle is reduced to improve performance, and a size of a blade wake flow is reduced, to reduce noises. In case of the centrifugal impeller, as flow separation at a negative-pressure surface is reduced, performance improvement and reduction in flow separation noise are obtained through improvement of a slip constant.

In this case, at a backward blade bent in a direction opposite to a rotation direction, a wide wake flow between blades caused by slip exists except for the pressure surface as expressed by a blue solid line. Also, at a forward blade bent in the same direction as the rotation direction, great flow separation is generated at the negative-pressure surface as an outlet of the primary blade is bent in the rotation direction as expressed by an orange solid line, and an energy loss of the wake is greater than that at an outlet of the blade at the backward blade. However, a pressure energy increase is relatively great as Cθ2 of the above mathematical equation 2 increases, which is a relative velocity at the outlet in the rotation direction.

As described above, the impeller according to the present invention, in which the secondary blades are disposed between the primary blades, has an advantage with respect to each of the axial type and the centrifugal type as stated below.
In case of the axial impeller according to the present invention, effects of pressure increase and noise reduction may be obtained by reducing secondary flow at the negative-pressure surface of the main blade and reducing the deviation angle at the trailing edge of the blade.

Thus, a limitation of hardly separating upper and lower molds during the injection molding process because the blades overlap each other may be fundamentally resolved.
In case of the centrifugal impeller according to the present invention, effects of energy transfer increase and noise reduction may be obtained through reduction of blade slip by reducing the secondary flow at the negative-pressure surface of the primary blade having the backward and forward or radial combined hybrid S-shape. Also, as the first portion including the bottom plate to which the plurality of primary blades are attached and the second portion including the shroud having the band shape to which the plurality of secondary blades are attached are injection-molded as separate components, and the plurality of primary blades are coupled to the shroud in the projection-groove coupling manner, and the plurality of secondary blades are coupled to the bottom plate in the projection-groove coupling manner, a limitation generated during the injection molding may be resolved.
