Abstract

An impeller for a centrifugal rotary machine has a plurality of blades ( 4 ) arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction on a face facing a direction of an axis of a disc ( 3 ) formed in a discoid shape about the axis, wherein the blades ( 4 ) each include a first section ( 10 A) rising from the disc ( 3 ) and inclined toward an opposite direction of a rotary direction (R) as the distance from the disc and a second section ( 11 A) continuing from the first section ( 10 A) and inclined toward a forward direction of the rotary direction (R) as the distance from the disc ( 3 ) between the leading edges and the trailing edges in the blades ( 4 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An impeller for a centrifugal rotary machine, comprising:
a disc formed in a discoid shape about an axis;
a plurality of blades including a leading edge into which a fluid flows and a trailing edge out of which the fluid flows and arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction on a face facing a direction of the axis, and
an impeller fluid flow path being defined by neighboring blades,
wherein, between the leading edges and the trailing edges in the blades, each blade viewed in a cross-section perpendicular to the impeller fluid flow path includes:
a first area rising from the disc and inclined toward an opposite direction of a rotary direction relative to the distance from the disc;
a second area further rising from the first area and inclined toward a forward direction of the rotary direction as the distance from the disc;
a seventh area disposed closer to the trailing edge than the first area, rising from the disc, and inclined toward the forward direction of the rotary direction relative to the distance from the disc; and
an eighth area disposed closer to the trailing edge than the second area, further rising from the seventh area, and inclined toward the forward direction of the rotary direction relative to the distance from the disc.

2. The impeller for a centrifugal rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein each blade viewed in a cross-section perpendicular to the impeller flow path further includes:
a third area disposed closer to the leading edge than the first area, rising from the disc, and inclined toward the forward direction of the rotary direction relative to the distance from the disc; and
a fourth area disposed closer to the leading edge than the second area, further rising from the third area, and inclined toward the forward direction of the rotary direction relative to the distance from the disc.

3. The impeller for a centrifugal rotary machine according to claim 2 , wherein each blade viewed in a cross-section perpendicular to the impeller flow path further includes:
a fifth area disposed closer to the trailing edge than the first area and closer to the leading edge than the seventh area, rising from the disc, and inclined toward the opposite direction of the rotary direction relative to the distance from the disc; and
a sixth area disposed closer to the trailing edge than the second area and closer to the leading edge than the eighth area, further rising from the fifth area, and inclined toward the opposite direction of the rotary direction relative to the distance from the disc.

4. A centrifugal rotary machine, comprising:
a rotary shaft configured to rotate about an axis;
the impeller for a centrifugal rotary machine according to claim 2 externally engaged with the rotary shaft and configured to rotate together with the rotary shaft; and
a casing configured to rotatably support the rotary shaft and cover the impeller from an outer circumference side of the impeller.

5. The impeller for a centrifugal rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein each blade viewed in a cross-section perpendicular to the impeller flow path further includes:
a fifth area disposed closer to the trailing edge than the first area and closer to the leading edge than the seventh area, rising from the disc, and inclined toward the opposite direction of the rotary direction relative to the distance from the disc; and
a sixth area disposed closer to the trailing edge than the second area and closer to the leading edge than the eighth area, further rising from the fifth area, and inclined toward the opposite direction of the rotary direction relative to the distance from the disc.

6. A centrifugal rotary machine, comprising:
a rotary shaft configured to rotate about an axis;
the impeller for a centrifugal rotary machine according to claim 5 externally engaged with the rotary shaft and configured to rotate together with the rotary shaft; and
a casing configured to rotatably support the rotary shaft and cover the impeller from an outer circumference side of the impeller.

7. A centrifugal rotary machine, comprising:
a rotary shaft configured to rotate about an axis;
the impeller for a centrifugal rotary machine according to claim 1 externally engaged with the rotary shaft and configured to rotate together with the rotary shaft; and
a casing configured to rotatably support the rotary shaft and cover the impeller from an outer circumference side of the impeller.
