Abstract

This impeller is equipped with: a disk section that is fixed to a rotary shaft at least at the side of a first end in a direction of the axis and extends outward in a radial direction from the side of a second end; blade sections that are disposed to protrude from the disk section toward the side of the first end; and a cover section that covers the blade sections. The disk section includes a first member and a second member that are divided from each other in the direction of the axis by a dividing plane, which is orthogonal to the axis, at an inner side in the radial direction relative to the blade sections. The first member and the second member are joined on the dividing plane.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An impeller comprising:
a disk section fixed to a rotary shaft, which rotates about an axis, at least at a first end side in a direction of the axis and configured to extend outward in a radial direction from the first end side in the direction of the axis to a second end side opposite the first end side;
blade sections provided to protrude from the disk section to the first end side in the direction of the axis; and
a cover section integrally provided for the blade sections and configured to cover the blade sections from the first end side in the direction of the axis;
wherein the disk section includes a first member and a second member that are divided from each other in the direction of the axis by a dividing plane, which is orthogonal to the axis, at inner sides of the blade sections in the radial direction; and
wherein the first member and the second member are joined on the dividing plane,
wherein the first member has a plurality of concave step sections and the first member is configured to be joined in contact with the rotary shaft at only a grip section which is provided at a front side of the first end side,
wherein the dividing plane has a has a plurality of step sections each having a concave groove which is formed at the first member and has a convex portion which is formed at the second member and is capable of being fitted into the concave groove,
wherein the first member and the second member are joined on only a surface extending in the radial direction of the dividing plane,
wherein the concave groove has a backing face which faces the inner side in the radial direction and is a first horizontal plane,
wherein the convex portion has a mating face which faces the outside in the radial direction and is a second horizontal plane,
wherein the backing face is connected to a side of an end face of a through-hole of the first member into which the rotary shaft is inserted, so as to be formed in the dividing plane in the radial direction, and
wherein the mating face is connected to a base-section-side region of a front side surface which is a side of the end face of a through-hole of the second member into which the rotary shaft is inserted, so as to be formed in the dividing plane in the radial direction.

2. A rotary machine comprising the impeller according to claim 1 .
