Conventionally, in order to prevent this circulating flow, as described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 233194/1993, a cylindrical and well slidable reflux shut-off member is provided at the suction port of the fan casing to centrifuge it. A technique has been proposed in which the front shroud of the impeller is brought into a substantially contact state and the circulation blocking member is used to block the circulation flow to improve the blowing efficiency. Then, this circulation blocking member is attached to the fan casing so that it is pressed onto the front shroud of the centrifugal impeller during assembly, and is scraped off by the front shroud of the centrifugal impeller by the first operation after assembly to be in a substantially contact state.

However, in the technique described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-233194, the cylindrical reflux blocking member fixed to the fan casing and brought into contact with the front shroud of the centrifugal impeller is Since it functions as a guide member that draws in airflow from the outside, it must be a member with high shape retention, and a problem that parts processing work and parts assembly work that can obtain high assembly precision are required. was there.

That is, in order to prevent the centrifugal impeller from being locked in the first operation after the assembly, the reflux blocking member must be an elastic body, but it is also necessary to have rigidity to obtain shape retention so as to function as a guide member. Therefore, if the assembly accuracy is low, the centrifugal shut-off member will be excessively pressed by the centrifugal impeller, locking the centrifugal impeller and making it inoperable, increasing the frictional resistance during operation, and conversely contacting the front shroud. Otherwise, it may not be possible to prevent the circulation flow.

In a high-speed rotating electric blower used for an electric vacuum cleaner or the like, an increase in friction resistance results in an overall decrease in efficiency of the electric blower due to an increase in efficiency due to friction loss exceeding an improvement in efficiency due to circulation flow prevention. There is a fear. Further, an increase in frictional resistance may cause deformation and damage of the circulation blocking member due to frictional heat, tightness with the impeller, or an increase in the gap between sliding parts, which may lead to the generation of a circulating flow. There are many problems.

In order to achieve the above object, the features of the present invention are that an impeller mounted and fixed to a rotating shaft and a fixed guide disposed on the downstream side of the flow path of the impeller. An impeller that covers the impeller and the fixed guide vane, and the impeller is an electric motor that sucks air from a suction port of the front shroud facing the suction port of the fan casing and discharges the air to the fixed guide vane. In the blower, a substantially annular seal member formed of an elastic body is provided on the inner surface of the fan casing so as to be in sliding contact with the suction port edge of the front shroud of the impeller at a depth of 0 to 50% of the thickness of the seal member. The reason is that only the outer peripheral side of the seal member is fixed to the fan casing.

According to the present invention, since the seal member formed of the elastic body is provided on the fan casing so as to be pressed against the impeller, the elastic deformation causes the pressing against the impeller to cause the impeller to move. The car is not locked, and the pressed part is scraped off by the initial rotation of the impeller, so the frictional resistance due to sliding during subsequent driving is reduced, the increase in friction loss is suppressed, and circulation is reduced. It is possible to reliably prevent the flow and improve the efficiency of the blower.

Further, even if a gap occurs between the front shroud of the impeller and the seal member due to variations in assembly or the like, the negative pressure generated when the centrifugal impeller rotates causes the inner peripheral side of the seal member to bend and be drawn in. Circulating flow can be prevented because it contacts and slides on the end surface of the shroud.

When the electric blower 10 is assembled, the seal member 35 is brought into contact with the suction shroud 33a of the centrifugal impeller 33 so as to press the suction port end edge portion 33c so as to be elastically deformed, and the electric blower 10 When the centrifugal impeller 33 is rotated by the first operation, the seal member 35 and the suction port edge 33 of the front shroud 33a are scraped off at the edge of the suction port edge 33c of the front shroud 33a.
It is in a state of light sliding contact with c. Therefore, it is important that the material is elastically deformed under pressure during assembly, and therefore the elastic modulus of the material is important. In the present invention, when the elastic modulus is 20 kg / cm 2 or less, the handling accuracy and the assembly accuracy of the assembling workability decrease, and conversely 50 kg.
It was found that problems such as mechanical loss when pressed or deformation of the impeller occur when the pressure is more than / cm 2 . The depth of sliding contact between the seal member 35 and the front shroud is set to 50% or less of the thickness t of the seal member 35. 50% depth
In the above case, the compression of the seal member 35 causes a rapid increase in the elastic modulus, which may cause problems such as the mechanical loss described above.

In the subsequent blowing operation, the generation of a circulating flow is prevented in a light sliding contact state so that a large frictional resistance is not obtained, and the friction coefficient of the polytrafluoroethylene resin itself is low, so that the friction loss is low. Can be suppressed. Therefore, the amount of heat generated by friction is small, and since the polytetrafluoroethylene resin has high heat resistance, there is no fear of causing solidification and a circulation flow due to thermal deformation.

In order to attach the highly elastic seal member 35 to the inner surface of the fan casing 34 with high accuracy so that the centrifugal impeller 33 is pressed uniformly, the seal member 35 is accurately positioned at the time of attachment. In addition, it is necessary to prevent uneven deformation from occurring due to uneven force. In this embodiment, the fan casing 3
The outer peripheral portion of the seal member 35 is sandwiched by the inner surface of the fan casing 34 by a metal annular support frame 36 welded and fixed to the inner surface of the fan casing 34.

The annular support frame 36 has an annular projection 36a that regulates the outer periphery of the seal member 35 and the push-out claw 3 that suppresses slippage.
6b is provided. Since the fan casing 34 and the seal member 35 are integrally fixed at the outer peripheral portion with respect to the inner diameter d of the annular support frame 36, the seal member 35 on the inner peripheral side with respect to d is formed so as to bend toward the opposite casing side. Further, FIG. 3 shows a state in which a gap g is generated between the front shroud 33a of the centrifugal impeller 33 and the sealing member 35 due to the function of assembly work and component processing accuracy.

When the electric blower is operated in the state of FIG. 3, negative pressure is generated inside the centrifugal impeller 33. The inner side of the inner diameter d of the annular support frame 36 of the seal member 35 is drawn into the negative pressure and bends toward the centrifugal impeller side, and the front shroud 3
It comes into contact with and sliding contact with 3a, thereby preventing the above-mentioned circulating flow. Although it depends on the generated gap g, the inner diameter of the centrifugal impeller 33, and the thickness t of the seal member 35, in order to elastically deform due to the negative pressure, the inner diameter d of the annular support frame 36 is required.
It is necessary that the inner peripheral length l of the above is 1.5 times or more the plate pressure t.

The seal member 35, which is made of stretched porous polytetrafluoroethylene resin in the shape of a flat ring, has a suction port end edge portion 3 of the front shroud 33 a of the centrifugal impeller 33.
Even if the seal member 35 is pressed so that the seal member 35 is elastically deformed, the frictional resistance is small, so that the centrifugal impeller 33 is not locked during the initial operation. Therefore, the axial assembly tolerance of the electric blower 10 becomes large, and there is no need for a large gap for disposing a thick seal member between the suction port end edge portion 33c of the front shroud 33a and the fan casing 34. It is possible to suppress an increase in the axial dimension of the electric blower 10.

According to the present invention, since the seal member formed of the elastic body is provided on the fan casing so as to be pressed against the impeller, the elastic deformation causes the pressing against the impeller. Since the impeller is not locked and the pressed portion is scraped off by the initial rotation of the impeller, the frictional resistance due to sliding during the subsequent operation is reduced, and the increase in friction loss is suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the circulating flow and improve the efficiency of the blower.

Even if a gap is created between the front shroud of the impeller and the seal member due to variations in assembly or the like, the negative pressure generated when the centrifugal impeller rotates causes the inner peripheral side of the seal member to bend and to be drawn in. Circulating flow can be prevented because it contacts and slides on the end surface of the shroud.
