Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention includes a disc-shaped disc section ( 30 ) that is attached to a rotating shaft ( 6 ), and blade sections ( 40 ) that are provided on a front surface ( 31 ) that is one side in an axial direction of the disc section ( 30 ). Balance holes ( 33 ) for attaching weight-adjusting weight members W thereto are provided at positions where the blade sections ( 40 ) are provided in a radial direction, in a rear surface ( 51 ) that is the other side in the axial direction of the disc section ( 30 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . An impeller comprising: a disc-shaped disc section that has a tube portion attached to a rotating shaft and extends radially outward from a rear side in an axis direction of the tube portion; and a blade section that is provided in a surface that is one side in an axial direction of the disc section, wherein the blade section is provided with an attachment hole for attaching a weight-adjusting weight, in a back surface that is the other side in the axial direction of the disc section. 2 . The impeller according to claim 1 , wherein the disc section includes a stress-relaxing device that is provided on at least one radial side of the attachment hole in the back surface and relaxes stress concentration caused by a centrifugal force in the attachment hole. 3 . The impeller according to claim 2 , wherein the stress-relaxing device includes an axial wall portion that diverts a radial stress in a meridian plane, on at least one radial side of the attachment hole. 4 . A rotating machine comprising: a rotor having the impeller according to claim 1 . 5 . A rotating machine comprising: a rotor having the impeller according to claim 2 . 6 . A rotating machine comprising: a rotor having the impeller according to claim 3 .
