Definitions
- the invention relates to a fan wheel for conveying an air mass, in particular for a turbocharger, fan or the like. According to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a known fan wheel is known from DE 85 18 403. It consists of two cover disks approximately parallel to each other, between which the fan blades are arranged. Troughs are formed on one cover disk, which abut the other cover disk and thus form fan blades. To connect the cover plates, they are glued, welded or connected with external rivets in the area of the contact surfaces.
- the fan wheels built in this way must be balanced before start-up, as tolerances, material accumulations etc. cause imbalances that occur at high speeds in the turbocharger, e.g. 20,000 rpm must be equalized. The production of fan wheels of this type is therefore laborious, labor-intensive and expensive.
- the invention has for its object to design a fan wheel of the generic type in such a way that it can be manufactured in a few simple manufacturing steps and assembled ready for use without balancing.
- an embossable material such as deep-drawn sheet metal, namely steel sheet, stainless steel sheet, aluminum sheet or the like, also allows the fan blades to be embossed over part or over their entire axial height in the production of the cover disks.
- the amount of material is not changed by this non-cutting forming and punching, so that a final balancing can be omitted.
- the fan wheel is composed of only two parts axially, an axial contact surface of one cover plate being firmly in contact with an axial contact surface of the other cover plate. All edges exposed to the air flow are rounded, so that there is a high delivery rate with low noise.
- the cover disks are expediently connected to one another in the area of the contact surfaces. Connection points are advantageously provided only in the area of the contact surfaces.
- fixing openings can be made on the contact surface of the one cover disk.
- Fixing lugs are formed on the opposite contact surface of the second cover plate, for example by pulling or extrusion.
- the fixing lugs engage in the opposite fixing opening, which advantageously have a countersink on the rivet head side, which ensures that the parts are correctly positioned. Since the fixing lugs and fixing openings are only provided in the contact surfaces of the fan blades, the correct rotational position of the cover plates relative to one another is determined at the same time, so that all fan blades of one cover plate, which are evenly distributed over the circumference, bear against the associated contact surfaces of the other cover plate.
- the fixing lugs are expediently formed into rivet bolts by extrusion, with which the cover disks are connected to one another in the area of the contact surfaces. Since no material is added to this connection technology, balancing measures that are otherwise necessary are not necessary.
- the fan blades are expediently formed by the walls of an embossed bead, the bead also contributing to stiffening the cover plate.
- the beads are advantageously closed at the ends and extend in the radial direction over only part of the radius of the cover disk.
- the radial ends of the beads or the fan blades have a rounded end face.
- a cover plate is advantageously provided with a waffle-like or scale-like embossment, in particular on the inside facing the air flow. A better flow of the air flow conveyed by the fan wheel can thus be achieved.
- the waffle-like embossing also avoids tension in the cover plate, which ensures its flat, distortion-free shape. Even at high speeds there are no imbalances.
- the scale-like embossing also eliminates the need for subsequent leveling of the cover plate after the beads forming the ventilation blades have been stamped out and can also offer flow-related advantages and dissipate heat.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of a fan wheel according to the invention
- FIG. 3 is a plan view of a cover plate of the fan wheel with pronounced parts of the fan blades
- FIG. 4 shows an enlarged view of the detail Z from FIG. 2 with fixing lugs for positional alignment
- FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the detail Z from FIG. 2 with cover plates connected in a form-fitting manner by pushing through,
- Fig. 7 is an enlarged view of the detail Z in Fig. 2 with cover plates riveted by own material of different thicknesses.
- the fan impeller 1 essentially consists of two cover disks 2 and 3 which are congruent with one another and, in the exemplary embodiment, are parallel and each have a central opening 4, 40 for attachment to, for example, a hub.
- the central openings 4, 40 are coaxial to the axis of rotation 5 of the base body or the fan wheel 1.
- the cover plates 2, 3 advantageously have the same material thickness; 1 and 7 different material thickness (Fig. 2) are shown, the smaller opening 40 in the z. B. thicker cover plate 3 can be provided.
- fan blades 6 are provided between the mutually facing end faces 12 and 13 of the cover disks 2 and 3, which are slightly curved in the running direction 7 (FIG. 1).
- the arrangement is such that when the fan wheel 1 rotates in the running direction 7, air is sucked in through the central opening 4 of the one cover plate 2 and flows radially outward. It is therefore a fan wheel with axial inflow and radial outflow.
- a fan blade 6 is formed in one piece with the cover plate 2 or 3, at least over part 6a, 6b of its height B measured in the direction of the axis of rotation 5.
- the height B of the fan blade 6 is half B / 2 on the cover plate 2 and half B / 2 on the cover plate 3 molded in one piece. Different widths of the parts 6a, 6b forming the fan blade 6 can also be expedient.
- the fan blades 6 are formed as embossed beads 10 axially from the material of the cover disks 2, 3, the cover disks 2, 3 being made of an embossable material such as e.g. a deep-drawn sheet, steel sheet or stainless steel sheet. Designs made of aluminum sheets or aluminum alloys are also easy to implement; depending on the application, the material of the cover plates 2, 3 can also be a plastic, optionally a carbon fiber reinforced plastic.
- the radial extent of the beads 10 advantageously lies within the inside or outside diameter of the cover plate, the ends of the beads 10 being closed.
- the cover plates 2 and 3 For a simple assembly, it is expedient to design the cover plates 2 and 3 to be approximately the same in mirror symmetry with respect to the parting plane 11.
- the beads 10, which are embossed in one piece from the cover disk 2 consist of a flat base 8, 9 serving as contact surface 30, which is connected to the cover disk 2, 3 via side walls 19a, 19b.
- the cover disks 2 and 3 can be easily axially joined, the bottom 8 of a fan blade of the one cover disk 2 abutting a bottom 9 of a mirror-symmetrically shaped fan blade of the other cover disk 3.
- the bottoms 8, 9 are formed with a width of 1 to 10 mm, preferably 2 to 5 mm. As shown in FIGS.
- the embossed beads 10 of the air blades are designed in such a way that no edges disturbing the air flow occur.
- the side walls 19a, 19b connect to the base 8, 9 via a rounded edge 21a, 21b.
- the inner radius R1 of the bead 10 is preferably approximately 0.5 to 2.5 mm, preferably 0.5 mm, while the outer radius R2 of the edge 21a, 21b exposed to the air flow is approximately 0.5 to 2 mm, preferably 1 mm is.
- the edge 22a, 22b is between the side wall and the cover disk 2, 3 with an outer radius R2 of 0.5 to 2 mm, preferably 1 mm and with an inner radius R1 exposed to the air flow of 0.5 to 2 mm, preferably 0.5 mm. It may be advantageous to round the edge 21a, 21b more than the edge 22a, 22b.
- the side walls 19a of the fan blades 6 embossed from the cover plate 2 advantageously have the same axial height B / 2 over their entire radial extent, each side wall being approximately at a right angle 32 to the plane of the cover plate 2, 3 or approximately at right angles to a plane , to which the axis of rotation 5 is perpendicular.
- each end face 20a, 20b is rounded with a radius of 1 to 4 mm, preferably 1.5 mm.
- the beads 10 embossed from the cover disk 2 and 3 may be expedient to design the beads 10 embossed from the cover disk 2 and 3 to form fan blades, for example with different radial lengths, with different heights measured in the circumferential direction or with a width that decreases or increases over the radial length.
- the contact surfaces 30, 31 formed on the bases 8, 9 lie parallel to a parting plane 11; the axis of rotation 5 is perpendicular to the parting plane 11.
- the height of the embossed beads 10 corresponds approximately to the height B / 2 of the blade part 6a, 6b of the fan blade 6 and is a maximum of 1 to 10 mm, preferably approximately 5 mm.
- the circumferential direction P (FIG. 1) of a bead 10 corresponds approximately to the circumferential thickness d (FIG. 3) of a fan blade 6.
- the cover plates 2, 3 are permanently connected to one another in the area of the contact surfaces 30 and 31 of the fan blades 6, as a result of which the two cover plates 2, 3 form a common, non-detachable unit with the integral beads 10.
- a fixing lug 35 (FIG. 4) is formed on a contact surface 30, which engages in a corresponding fixing recess or fixing opening 36 in the other contact surface 31. In this congruently aligned position, the cover disks 2, 3 are connected to one another in the region of the contact surfaces 30, 31.
- the fixing lugs are formed into rivet bolts 17.
- the rivet bolt 17 which engages through a corresponding rivet opening 16 in the contact surface 31 of the other part and is deformed to form a non-detachable connection of the cover disks 2 and 3 to form a rivet head 18.
- the rivet opening 16 is advantageously provided with a countersink 14 on the end facing the rivet head 18. As a result, the length of the rivet bolt 17 can be made shorter, so that it can be driven out of the material of the cover plate safely. This riveting with own material is advantageous with regard to balancing criteria with simple manufacture.
