Abstract

A centrifugal fan impeller structure includes a hub and a blade body set. The hub has an extension section. The blade body set has multiple blade bodies. The blade bodies outward extend from the extension section of the hub. Each two adjacent blade bodies define therebetween a flow way, an air outlet and an air inlet. The air outlet and the air inlet are respectively positioned at two ends of the flow way in communication with the flow way. The air outlets are arranged at unequal intervals so as to greatly reduce noise in operation.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A centrifugal fan impeller structure comprising:
a hub having an extension section, the extension section having multiple extending arms and an annular body, two ends of each of the extending arms being respectively connected with the huh and the annular body, each two adjacent extending anus defining therebetween a through hole; and
a blade body set having multiple blade bodies, the blade bodies outward extending from the annular body of the extension section of the hub, each two adjacent blade bodies defining therebetween a flow way, an air outlet and an air inlet, the air outlet and the air inlet being respectively positioned at two ends of the flow way in communication with the flow way, the air outlets being arranged at unequal intervals, the air inlets being arranged at equal intervals;
wherein each blade body has a first end and a second end, the air inlet being defined between the first ends of each two adjacent blade bodies, the air outlet being defined between the second ends of each two adjacent blade bodies;
wherein the first ends together define a first pitch circle, a tangent of the first pitch circle at the first end being defined as a first tangent, the blade body having a blade central line, a tangent of the blade body central line at the first end being defined as a second tangent, the second tangent intersecting the first tangent to contain an air incoming angle;
wherein the second ends together define a second pitch circle, a tangent of the second pitch circle at the second end being defined as a third tangent, the blade body having a blade body central line, a tangent of the blade body central line at the second end being defined as a fourth tangent, the fourth tangent intersecting the third tangent to contain an air outgoing angle, the air outgoing angles of the blades being unequal; and
wherein the air outgoing angles of the adjacent blade bodies are different, and the blade bodies with different air outgoing angles are positioned on the extending section of the hub.

2. A centrifugal fan impeller structure comprising:
a hub having an extension section, the extension section having multiple extending arms and an annular body, two ends of each of the extending arms being respectively connected with the hub and the annular body, each two adjacent extending arms defining therebetween a through hole; and
a blade body set having multiple blade bodies, the blade bodies outward extending from the annular body of the extension section of the hub, each two adjacent blade bodies defining therebetween a flow way, an air outlet and an air inlet, the air outlet and the air inlet being respectively positioned at two ends of the flow way in communication with the flow way, the air outlets being arranged at equal intervals, the air inlets being arranged at equal intervals;
wherein each blade body has a first end and a second end, the air inlet being defined between the first ends of each two adjacent blade bodies, the air outlet being defined between the second ends of each two adjacent blade bodies;
wherein the first ends together define a first pitch circle, a tangent of the first pitch circle at the first end being defined as a first tangent, the blade body having a blade central line, a tangent of the blade body central line at the first end being defined as a second tangent, the second tangent intersecting the first tangent to contain an air incoming angle;
wherein the second ends together define a second pitch circle, a tangent of the second pitch circle at the second end being defined as a third tangent, the blade body having a blade body central line, a tangent of the blade body central line at the second end being defined as a fourth tangent, the fourth tangent intersecting the third tangent to contain an air outgoing angle, the air outgoing angles of the blades being equal; and
wherein the second ends have unequal widths.

3. A centrifugal fan impeller structure comprising:
a hub having an extension section, the extension section having multiple extending arms and an annular body, two ends of each of the extending arms being respectively connected with the hub and the annular body, each two adjacent extending arms defining therebetween a through hole; and
a blade body set having multiple bodies, the blade bodies outward extending from the annular body of the extension section of the hub, each two adjacent blade bodies defining therebetween a flow way, an air out and an air inlet, the air outlet and the air inlet being respectively positioned at two ends of the flow way in communication with the flow way, the air outlets being arranged at unequal intervals, the air inlets being arranged at equal intervals;
wherein each blade body has a first end and a second end, the air inlet being defined between the first ends of each two adjacent blade bodies, the air outlet being defined between the second end of each two adjacent blade bodies;
wherein the first ends together define a first pitch circle, a tangent of the first pitch circle at the first end being defined as a first tangent, the blade body having a blade central line, a tangent of the blade body central line at the first end being defined as a second tangent, the second tangent intersecting the first tangent to contain an air incoming angle;
wherein the second ends together define a second pitch circle, a tangent of the second pitch circle at the second end being defined a second pitch circle, the blade body having a blade body central line, a tangent of the blade body central line at the second end being defined as a fourth tangent, the fourth tangent intersecting the third tangent to contain an air outgoing angle; and
wherein at least one of the blade bodies has a length unequal to that of the other blade bodies.
