Abstract
A blower has a centrifugal impeller driven by an electric motor. The centrifugal impeller has a base plate, a cover plate defining an air inlet, a plurality of blades mounted between the base plate and the cover plate, and a reinforcement ring mounted to the cover plate around the air inlet. The cover plate includes an outwardly extending flange at the air inlet. The reinforcement ring has a flange fitted around the flange of the cover plate. Each blade has cover plate mounting portions and base plate mounting portions. The cover plate has blade mounting holes engaged with the cover plate mounting portions. The base plate has blade mounting holes engaged with the base plate mounting portions. The reinforcement ring increases the strength of the cover plate, to avoid breakage under high speed rotation.
