To provide a can manufacturing pump impeller in which a stress of a base portion of a blade is prevented from increasing while improving the strength of a joint portion of a hub and a boss. In order to reinforce a joint portion of a hub and a boss, a plate is jointed to the inside of an impeller. In order not to overlap a base portion of a blade and the plate with each other on the hub, an opening portion is provided in the plate around the base portion of the blade on the hub. As a shape of the opening portion, a semicircular shape, a semielliptical shape, a rectangular shape, or a trapezoidal shape can be selected. Further, as a plate shape, a flat plate structure, a shell structure, or a curved structure can be selected.
1. An impeller of a pump comprising:
a cylindrical boss to which a rotational force of a motor is transmitted;
a hub in a substantially cone shape;
a joint portion of the hub and an end face or an outer surface of the cylindrical boss joined by welding; and
a plurality of blades attached to the outer surface of the hub by welding, wherein
a plate for reinforcement is arranged at the joint portion of the hub and the cylindrical boss while being welded to an inner surface of the hub and the outer surface of the cylindrical boss,
wherein the plate is welded nearer to the joint portion of the hub and the cylindrical boss relative to a position of a base portion of a leading edge of the blade attached to the outer surface of the hub, and the welded position of the plate and the inner surface of the hub and the base portion of the blade on the outer surface of the hub are not overlapped with each other on the inner and outer surfaces of the hub.
2. The impeller according to claim 1 , wherein the plate has a curved structure so as to be orthogonal to at least one of the inner surface of the cone-shaped hub and the outer surface of the cylindrical boss.
3. The impeller according to claim 1 , wherein the plate has a curved structure in which the cross section of the plate is in a shell shape.
4. The impeller according to claim 1 , wherein a balance hole that is a circular hole is provided in the hub, the plate is arranged nearer the joint portion of the hub and the cylindrical boss relative to the balance hole, and the inside of the joint portion of the hub and the cylindrical boss is not brought into contact with a fluid.
5. An impeller of a pump comprising:
a cylindrical boss to which a rotational force of a motor is transmitted;
a hub in a substantially cone shape;
a joint portion joining the hub and an end face or an outer surface of the cylindrical boss by welding; and
a plurality of blades attached to the outer surface of the hub by welding, wherein
a plate for reinforcement is arranged at the joint portion of the hub and the cylindrical boss while being welded to an inner surface of the hub and the outer surface of the cylindrical boss,
wherein in the case where the welded position of the plate and the inner surface of the hub and a base portion of the blade on the outer surface of the hub are overlapped with each other on the inner and outer surfaces of the hub, a position where a maximum stress is generated in the base portion of the blade by a fluid pressure and a centrifugal force and the joint position of the plate and the inner surface of the hub are not overlapped with each other on the inner and outer surfaces of the hub.
6. The impeller according to claim 5 , wherein a balance hole that is a circular hole is provided in the hub, the plate is arranged nearer the joint portion of the hub and the cylindrical boss relative to the balance hole, and the inside of the joint portion of the hub and the cylindrical boss is not brought into contact with a fluid.
7. An impeller of a pump comprising:
a cylindrical boss to which a rotational force of a motor is transmitted;
a hub in a substantially cone shape;
a joint portion joining the hub and an end face or an outer surface of the cylindrical boss by welding; and
a plurality of blades attached to the outer surface of the hub by welding, wherein
a plate for reinforcement is arranged at the joint portion of the hub and the cylindrical boss while being welded to an inner surface of the hub and the outer surface of the cylindrical boss,
wherein by providing an opening portion in a semicircular shape, a semielliptical shape, a rectangular shape, or a trapezoidal shape at the plate on the hub side, a base portion of the blade on the outer surface of the hub and the welded position of the plate on the inner surface of the hub are not overlapped with each other on the inner and outer surfaces of the hub.
8. The impeller according to claim 7 , wherein the opening portion of the plate and the surface of the hub are jointed to each other through a rectangular or cylindrical cover, and the inside of the joint portion of the hub and the cylindrical boss is not brought into contact with a fluid.
9. The impeller according to claim 4 , wherein an opening portion is provided in the plate, the balance hole on the hub and the opening portion on the plate are jointed to each other through a rectangular or cylindrical cover, and the inside of the joint portion of the hub and the cylindrical boss is not brought into contact with a fluid.
