Abstract
Provided are an impeller and a centrifugal pump that can be simplified in structure and reduced in weight and cost, and that can be integrally molded by a mold or the like. In a centrifugal pump including a housing having an inlet, an outlet and an impeller chamber, an impeller is disposed in the impeller chamber and is rotationally driven by a driving shaft. The impeller includes: a shaft part connected to the driving shaft to rotate about an axis line extending toward the inlet; blades protruding radially outward from an outer periphery of the shaft part; and an annular shroud plate continuous with the blades so as to cover a tip side area of the blades in order to be disposed adjacent to an inner wall of the housing on the inlet side.
