INFLATOR HAVING COMBINED CUTWATER AND INTAKE/EXHAUST PORT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044340 titled 'INFLATOR HAVING COMBINED CUTWATER AND INTAKE/EXHAUST PORT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an inflator device that includes a housing, an impeller, and an airflow guide. The housing has an intake port and an outlet port, with a volute defined between them. The impeller is connected to the housing and generates an airflow through the volute. The airflow guide is located inside the housing and has an air intake portion, which is flush with a portion of the volute. The airflow guide also includes a cutwater that extends from the air intake portion and is positioned between a passageway and the outlet port, adjacent to the impeller's circumferential edge.

  • The inflator device consists of a housing, impeller, and airflow guide.
  • The housing has an intake port, outlet port, and a volute.
  • The impeller is connected to the housing and generates airflow through the volute.
  • The airflow guide is located inside the housing and has an air intake portion.
  • The air intake portion is flush with a portion of the volute and defines a passageway along an airflow axis.
  • The cutwater is monolithically formed with the air intake portion and is positioned between the passageway and the outlet port, adjacent to the impeller's circumferential edge.

Potential Applications:

  • This inflator device can be used in various applications where airflow generation is required, such as air compressors, ventilation systems, or pneumatic tools.
  • It can be utilized in automotive applications for air intake systems, turbochargers, or superchargers.
  • The device can also find applications in HVAC systems, industrial blowers, or gas turbines.

Problems Solved:

  • The inflator device solves the problem of efficiently generating and directing airflow.
  • It provides a streamlined airflow path through the volute, reducing turbulence and improving overall performance.
  • The cutwater design helps in maintaining a smooth airflow transition from the passageway to the outlet port.

Benefits:

  • The inflator device offers improved airflow efficiency, resulting in enhanced performance and reduced energy consumption.
  • The streamlined airflow path reduces noise and vibration, leading to quieter operation.
  • The monolithic design of the cutwater ensures structural integrity and durability of the device.
  • The device can be easily integrated into existing systems or used as a standalone unit.


Original Abstract Submitted

an inflator includes a housing, an impeller, and an airflow guide. the housing includes a intake port and a outlet port. a volute is defined between the first and outlet ports. the impeller is coupled to the housing and is in airflow communication with the volute. the impeller generates an airflow through the volute. the airflow guide is disposed in the housing and includes an air intake portion. a cutwater is monolithically formed with the air intake portion. the air intake portion is disposed flush with a portion of the volute and defines the first and port and a passageway extending from the intake port along an airflow axis. the cutwater extends from the air intake portion and is disposed between the passageway and the outlet port adjacent a circumferential edge of the impeller.
