THERMAL CAULKING DEVICE
The first electrode section (7a) and the second electrode section (7b) are formed such that the outer portion connected to the upper portion of the heating section (6) is thinner than the inner portion connected to the lower portion of the heating section (6). The heating section (6) and the first electrode section (7a) are interconnected by an R-shaped first connecting portion (21). The inner circumferential sloping surface of the heating section (6) and the second electrode section (7b) are interconnected by an R-shaped second connecting portion (22). The first and second connecting portions (21)(22) are formed such that R becomes larger from the upper end to the lower end, where the upper portion is thin and the lower portion is thick. The thickness of an intermediate portion (6b) is smaller than the thicknesses of the first and second connecting portions (21)(22).
COMPRESSOR WHEEL AND FLUID COMPRESSION DEVICE COMPRISING THE SAME
A compressor wheel of a fluid compression device includes a wheel part, a shaft part and a plurality of connection parts. The wheel part includes a main body formed with a through hole, and a plurality of blades protruded from an outer side of the main body. The shaft part is accommodated in the through hole and configured to connect to a rotor shaft. The plurality of connection parts is connected between an inner side of the main body and the shaft part. Wherein, a fluid passage is formed between the inner side of the main body and the shaft part to allow fluid to flow to a rear side of the compressor wheel from a front side of the compressor wheel via the fluid passage.
Reverse fin cooling fan
An engine assembly includes a crankcase, shaft, blower housing, and cooling fan. The shaft is rotatably coupled to the crankcase and defines a rotational axis. The blower housing includes an internal space. The cooling fan is disposed within the internal space, includes a plate defining an upper surface, and is positioned to rotate with the shaft about the rotational axis. The cooling fan includes a band having an inner band radius and an outer band radius. The cooling fan includes a plurality of reversed fins extending between the band and the upper surface and between a root adjacent to the rotational axis and a tip adjacent to the outer band radius, each fin offset at an angle measured in a counterclockwise direction from a plane passing through the rotational axis and the tip to a plane passing through the root and the tip when viewed from above the cooling fan.
ELECTRIC FAN ASSEMBLY WITH INTEGRATED ROTOR MODULE HAVING QUICK ASSEMBLY FEATURES
A fan assembly that includes a fan, which has a fan member with a hub and a plurality of fan blades, and an electric motor with a rotor and a stator. The hub is rotatable about an axis and has a front wall and a circumferentially extending wall that cooperate to form a rotor cavity. The rotor has a plurality of first coupling features and a plurality of first snap-fit features formed thereon. The hub has a plurality of second coupling features and a plurality of second snap-fit features formed thereon. The first and second coupling features engage one another to couple the rotor to the hub in a manner that inhibits relative rotation but which permits relative axial movement along the axis. The first and second snap-fit features engage one another to inhibit the rotor from being withdrawn from the rotor cavity.
FAN SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED FAN-SHROUD CHANNEL FOR REDUCED RECIRCULATION FLOW
The invention refers to a fan system (10) comprising a fan shroud (14) and a ring fan (12) having a hub (30), a plurality of fan blades (32), and a ring structure (34). The ring structure (34) has a ring member (46) and a flange member (48), the ring member (46) having a hollow cylindrical shape, the flange member (48) extending radially outwardly from the ring member (46). The fan shroud (14) has an annular shroud flange (54), a shroud body (56) and a plurality of shroud guide vanes (58), the shroud flange (54) extending radially outwardly from the shroud body (56) and being disposed along the rotary axis (A) between the flange member (48) and the shroud body (56), the shroud body (56) being disposed about the ring member (46) and having a first body portion (70), a second body portion (72) and a divergent nozzle (74). A recirculation throttle (88) is formed by the shroud body (56) and the ring member (46) at a location where the first and second body portions (70, 72) of the shroud body (56) intersect one another. The divergent nozzle (74) and a trailing end (50) of the ring member (46) cooperate to form a dynamic sealing feature (90).
