The present disclosure relates to an impeller and a method of manufacturing the same. The impeller includes: a hub in which a plurality of spiral first slots are formed; a shroud which is positioned opposite the hub, and has a plurality of spiral second slots formed therein; and a plurality of blades which is coupled to the hub and the shroud, and have an upper protrusion formed on one side and a lower protrusion formed on the other side; and wherein the upper protrusion is inserted into and coupled to a second hole formed in the second slot, and the lower protrusion is inserted into and coupled to a first hole formed in the first slot.

An electric blower includes a motor unit, a shaft, a centrifugal impeller, a fan cover, a motor unit case, and a bracket located away from centrifugal impeller and toward motor unit in a direction in which a central axis of the shaft extends. The bracket includes a first portion located outward of the vent in a radial direction, and a second portion located outward of the first portion and outward of an outer circumference of the motor unit case in the radial direction. A first airflow passage and a second airflow passage are formed in the bracket, the first and second airflow passages communicate with an airflow passage formed by the centrifugal impeller and the fan cover.

The washing machine includes a cabinet, a drum installed inside the cabinet, and a fan assembly to guide heated air into the drum. A fan assembly includes a shroud provided with an air inlet hole, a hub rotated by a driving motor, a plurality of blades provided along a circumferential direction of the hub to guide the air introduced through the air inlet hole in the circumferential direction of the hub, and a scroll guiding the air guided in the circumferential direction of the hub into the drum. A partition wall prevents the air guided in the circumferential direction of the hub from being re-introduced into the air inlet hole. The blade includes a shroud contact portion in contact with the shroud and a hub contact portion in contact with the hub. An inflection point is formed between the shroud contact portion and the hub contact portion.

The present application discloses an impeller for a centrifugal fan and a centrifugal fan. The impeller comprises a support member and several vanes. The support member has an inner wall that defines a hollow portion. The several vanes are arranged inside the hollow portion, each of the several vanes is connected with the inner wall and extends along the axial direction of the support member, and the several vanes are arranged along the circumferential direction of the support member. Each of the several vanes is bent and comprises a front edge, a tail edge, a convex suction surface, and a concave pressure surface, the suction surface and the pressure surface are arranged to oppose each other, and the front edge and the tail edge are arranged to oppose each other, wherein the tail edge is connected with the inner wall of the support member, and wherein several protrusions are provided on the suction surface, and the several protrusions are arranged to be close to the front edge. The protrusions can regulate the flow of a fluid immediately when the fluid contacts the vanes. During the flow regulation process, a large vortex in the fluid can be divided into several small vortices. Such small vortices have smaller friction resistance, and the kinetic energy dissipated from the motion of the small vortices themselves can be partially cancelled out, thereby reducing the noise of the impeller and improving the performance of the centrifugal fan.

A resin fan includes a semi-molded article in which a first circular plate and blades are integrated. While the semi-molded article is retained, a composite mold is moved to a secondary molding side, a second mold is put in a first position and a third mold is moved to the first position and inserted into the first mold. An intermediate part extends over the inner surface-side of a large-bend part, and causes the end of the third mold to engage with the first mold. Next, resin is poured into a secondary forming mold, and a second circular plate is integrally molded continuous with the blades of the semi-molded article, and a fan is molded. Together with the opening of the second mold and the composite mold, the third mold and the composite mold are opened, each of the molds is moved to a second position.

A motor assembly having a rotational axis includes a motor housing comprising a plurality of cooling openings extending therethrough and defining a chamber. The motor assembly also includes a stator fixedly coupled to the motor housing and positioned within the chamber. A rotor is coupled to at least one of the motor housing and the stator, wherein the rotor is configured to rotate about the axis and is positioned within the chamber. The motor assembly includes a fan having a first inlet side on a first axial side of the fan and a second inlet side on a second, opposing, axial side of the fan. The fan is configured to draw cooling air in a first direction through the at least one cooling opening into the first inlet side, and the fan is also configured to draw cooling air in a second, opposite direction into the second inlet side.

A fan blade (1) has a front inflow edge (2) and a rear outflow edge (3). The fan blade (1) has an at least partially wavy inflow edge (4). The wavy inflow edge (4) forms a wave (W) with a specific three-dimensional waveform.

The present invention provides a blower with reduced noise. The blower comprises a blower main body incorporating a centrifugal fan. The blower main body is configured to suck air from both sides of the blower main body by rotation of the centrifugal fan. The centrifugal fan includes a support plate having a rotation center and a plurality of blades provided on each of a first surface and a second surface of the support plate. A position of at least part of the plurality of blades on the first surface and a position of at least part of the plurality of blades on the second surface are misaligned in a circumferential direction, and/or a number of the plurality of blades on the first surface differs from a number of the plurality of blades on the second surface.

A cooling fan and an electronic device are provided. The cooling fan comprises a plurality of blades disposed in a circumferential direction of a rotating shaft. The plurality of blades includes a first blade and a second blade. A windward surface of the first blade includes a first alignment part and a first offset part.
