Set of split body for forming blower fan through hollow-article injection molding process

Abstract

The present invention provides a set of split bodies for forming a synthetic-resin blower fan through a hollow-article injection molding process, wherein the blower fan integrally includes a circular base, a doughnut-shaped cover portion having an air inlet opening at the center thereof, and a plurality of blades each extending radially between the circular base and the inner surface of the cover portion to define a plurality of radial airflow passages between the adjacent blades. The set of split bodies comprises a first split body including the circular base and a plurality of blade members, and a second split body defining the inner surface of the cover portion and having an outer surface on the opposite side of the first split body. The outer surface of the second split body is formed with a plurality of reservoirs each extending radially in alignment with the corresponding blade member of the first split body to define spaces to be filled with molten synthetic resin in a state where the first and second split bodies are assembled together. Further, each of the reservoirs having a bottom wall formed with a through hole adapted to allow an upper portion of the blade member to be inserted therethrough and tightly fitted therein so that the terminal end of the blade member is exposed into the corresponding reservoir in the assembled position.
