Abstract

The invention relates to a ventilator wheel which is produced in the form of a radial or a diagonal ventilator wheel, and comprises a bottom disc and a plurality of ventilator blades arranged, on said bottom disc, so as to be distributed about an axial rotational axis, said bottom disc comprising a circumferential radial outer edge section that, when viewed in cross-section, extends in a curved shape in at least some sections and thus forms an elliptical transition of said bottom disc from a radial extension into an axial extension.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A ventilator wheel comprising: a bottom disk and a plurality of ventilator blades arranged and distributed about an axial axis of rotation on the bottom disk, whose axial height dimension runs between an intake side and the bottom disk, wherein the bottom disk has a body with a flat section and a circumferential radial outer rim section which runs at least for a portion as a curved shape, looking in the cross section, and thereby forms an elliptical transition of the bottom disk from a radial extension to an axial extension, the bottom disk includes a hub spaced from the flat section, the hub projects away from the intake side and away from the ventilation blades in the direction from the intake side to the bottom disk, the hub includes an axial step connecting the hub with the body, the axial step is in the center region lying outside the axis of rotation, the axial step is Z-shaped, in cross section, with a web extending partly in the radial and axial direction, the web runs at an angle of 20 to 60 degrees with respect to the radial direction of the ventilator wheel, the hub in alignment with the axial extension of the curved shape outer rim section, the ventilator blades having a radial outer edge, each forming a transition point on a side with the bottom disk, and an imaginary ring joining the transition points in the circumferential direction forms a boundary line for the flat section, to which the elliptical transition of the bottom disk is adjacent immediately or with a spacing in the radial direction.

2. The ventilator wheel according to claim 1 , wherein the elliptical transition in the circumferential radial outer rim section of the bottom disk has a half-axis length ratio (a)/(b) in a range of 1 to 10, where (a) corresponds to a half-axis length in the radial direction and (b) to a half-axis length in the axial direction of the ventilator wheel.

3. The ventilator wheel according to claim 1 , wherein an axial prolongation is formed in the axial direction on the elliptical transition as a single piece.

4. The ventilator wheel according to claim 1 , wherein a hub is formed on the bottom disk, adjoining the step in the radial direction.

5. The ventilator wheel according to claim 1 , wherein the step has an axial height corresponding to ±20% of the half-axis length (b) of the elliptical transition in the axial direction.

6. The ventilator wheel according to claim 1 , further comprising a cover disk, opposite the bottom disk, covering at least partly the ventilator blades on the intake side, and forming an inlet opening extending about the axis of rotation.

7. The ventilator wheel according to claim 6 , wherein the ventilator blades each have a marginal segment pointing toward the intake side, extending separately from the cover disk.

8. The ventilator wheel according to claim 1 , wherein an imaginary envelope curve runs around the ventilator blades in the circumferential direction at an oblique angle of 60 to 80 degrees with respect to a radial extension of the bottom disk.

9. The ventilator wheel according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio (d)/(h) of an the outer diameter (d) of the bottom disk to a total axial height (h) of the bottom disk lies in a range of 20 to 25.

10. The ventilator wheel according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio (d)/(a) of the outer diameter (d) of the bottom disk to the half-axis length (a) of the elliptical transition is in a range of 10 to 15.

11. The ventilator wheel according to claim 1 , wherein the ventilator is arranged in a volume flow conducting component with a square flow cross section with an edge length, and a ratio of the edge length to an outer diameter of the ventilator wheel is in a range of 1.1 to 3.0.

12. The ventilator wheel according to claim 2 , wherein the range is 2 to 5.

13. The ventilator wheel according to claim 10 , wherein the range is 11 to 12.

14. The ventilator wheel according to claim 11 , wherein the range is 1.5 to 2.5.
