IMPELLER AND CLEANER USING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18612177 titled 'IMPELLER AND CLEANER USING SAME

The abstract describes a cleaner with a unique impeller design that generates suction force for air suctioning.

The impeller includes a boss portion fixed to the shaft, a base portion with increasing diameter from intake to discharge side, and blades with wind cutting and sending edges.
Each blade has a wind cutting edge behind the proximal end, closer to the intake side than the boss portion, and a wind sending edge farther from the boss portion.

Potential Applications: - Household vacuum cleaners - Industrial cleaning equipment - Automotive detailing tools

Problems Solved: - Improved suction efficiency - Enhanced airflow control - Reduced energy consumption

Benefits: - Better cleaning performance - Energy savings - Longer equipment lifespan

Commercial Applications: - Manufacturers of vacuum cleaners - Cleaning service providers - Automotive detailing companies

Questions about the Impeller Design: 1. How does the impeller design improve suction efficiency?

  - The unique blade configuration enhances airflow control and reduces energy consumption.

2. What are the potential applications of this impeller design?

  - The impeller design can be used in various cleaning equipment for improved performance.

Original Abstract Submitted

A cleaner including a body, a dust case, a shaft, a motor to rotate the shaft, and an impeller that rotates by the rotation of the rotation shaft by the motor to generate a suction force for suctioning air into the body from the dust case through an air passage, the impeller including: a boss portion fixed to the shaft, a base portion extended from the boss portion and having a diameter that increases from an intake side toward a discharge side of the air passage, and a plurality of blades on the base portion, each blade including: a wind cutting edge having a proximal end, and a protruding end, is behind the proximal end in a rotation direction of the impeller, and is closer to the intake side than the boss portion and a wind sending edge that is farther from the boss portion than the wind cutting edge.
