Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] Reference Figures 1-6 The present invention provides a miniature centrifugal pump guide vane, comprising: a reverse guide vane 1 and a forward guide vane 2. The forward guide vane 2 is provided with a plurality of welded connection components, and the forward guide vane 2 is fixedly connected to the reverse guide vane 1 coaxially through the plurality of welded connection components. The reverse guide vane 1 is provided with a welded positioning component, which is used to make the reverse guide vane 1 and the forward guide vane 2 on the same axis. The welding connection assembly includes multiple welding holes 4 opened on the positive guide vane 2 and multiple welding points set on the negative guide vane 1, with the multiple welding points corresponding to the multiple welding holes 4 respectively.

[0020] The reverse guide vane 1 and the forward guide vane 2 together form a complete centrifugal pump guide vane. Their main function is to provide welding positioning components to ensure the reverse guide vane and the forward guide vane are fixed coaxially. The forward guide vane 2 and the reverse guide vane 1 together form a complete guide vane. Their main function is to provide multiple welding connection components to achieve a coaxial fixed connection with the reverse guide vane. The weld hole 4 mainly functions to correspond with the weld point on the reverse guide vane 1 to form a welding connection position. The weld point mainly functions to correspond with the weld hole 4 on the forward guide vane 2, serving as a positioning and welding fixation. The welding positioning component mainly functions to ensure that the reverse guide vane 1 and the forward guide vane 2 are on the same axis, guaranteeing coaxiality. Overall, this invention divides the guide vane into two parts, the forward guide vane and the reverse guide vane, which are machined separately to ensure a smooth flow channel and reduce flow loss. Simultaneously, the forward and reverse guide vanes are welded together to form the required miniature centrifugal pump guide vane, solving the problem of inconvenient casting and machining of its micro-channels. The accuracy of the guide vane's machining dimensions is ensured by reserving welding positioning components and machining allowances.

[0021] The scheme is further optimized so that multiple solder joints include an outer solder joint and an inner solder joint. The multiple outer solder joints on the anti-missile blade 1 are located on the same outer solder joint positioning circle 21, and the multiple inner solder joints on the anti-missile blade 1 are located on the same inner solder joint positioning circle 22.

[0022] The scheme is further optimized so that multiple outer solder joints are evenly distributed on the outer solder joint positioning circle 21, and multiple inner solder joints are evenly distributed on the inner solder joint positioning circle 22.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer and inner weld points are respectively set with positioning angles based on the same baseline, namely the outer weld point positioning angle 11 and the inner weld point positioning angle 12. With the outer weld point positioning circle 21 and the inner weld point positioning circle 22, each outer weld point and inner weld point on the anti-missile blade 1 can be accurately positioned.

[0024] To further optimize the design, multiple blades 3 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the side of the anti-guide blade 1 close to the positive guide blade 2. The blades 3 are attached to the positive guide blade 2, and the outer and inner welding points are set on the blades 3.

[0025] Further optimization of the design involves covering multiple weld holes 4 on the blade 3 along the axial direction of the anti-missile blade 1.

[0026] Since the guide vane in this embodiment is used for a micro centrifugal pump with a small flow rate, the blade 3 can be widened without affecting the fluid flow. The blade 3 is widened so that each blade 3 can sufficiently cover two weld points, namely the outer weld point and the inner weld point, in the axial direction of the pump blade. At the same time, weld holes 4 are opened on the guide vane 2 at the corresponding weld point positions of the blade 3. The diameter of the weld holes 4 must be smaller than the width of the blade 3.

[0027] The scheme is further optimized. The welding positioning component includes a welding positioning ring 5, which is fixedly connected to the side of the reverse guide vane 1 near the positive guide vane 2. The welding positioning ring 5 is coaxially arranged with the reverse guide vane 1, and the positive guide vane 2 is correspondingly arranged with the inner side of the welding positioning ring 5.

[0028] To further optimize the design, a forward flow cavity 31 is provided inside the forward guide vane 2, and a reverse flow cavity 32 is provided between the forward guide vane 2 and the reverse guide vane 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the working principle of the micro centrifugal pump guide vane is as follows: Before operation, the micro pump management system is assembled, and the pump is filled with medium. After the pump motor is powered on and started, the guide vane operates. The fluid enters the forward guide vane 2 from the impeller, flows through the forward liquid flow chamber 31, is deflected, and then enters the reverse guide vane 1. It then enters the next stage impeller from the reverse liquid flow chamber 32 between the vanes 3, achieving the goal of fluid entering the next stage impeller from the previous stage impeller.

[0030] A method for manufacturing guide vanes for a miniature centrifugal pump includes the following steps: The reverse guide vane 1 and the forward guide vane 2 are machined separately. A welding positioning ring 5 is machined on the reverse guide vane 1, and a welding hole 4 is machined on the forward guide vane 2. Place the positive guide vane 2 into the welding positioning ring 5, and weld the positive guide vane 2 to the negative guide vane 1 through the welding hole 4 to form a guide vane semi-finished product. Machining guide vane semi-finished products to form finished guide vane products.

[0031] To further optimize the design, after the positive guide vane 2 and the negative guide vane 1 are welded together, the weld points at the multiple weld holes 4 are machined flat.

[0032] To further optimize the design, before welding the positive guide vane 2 and the negative guide vane 1, the dimensions of the positioning circle 41 and the outer circle 42 on the negative guide vane 1 and the positive guide vane 2 are larger than the design dimensions of the finished guide vane.

[0033] In this embodiment, the key dimensions of the positive guide vane 2 and the negative guide vane 1, namely the diameters of the positioning circle 41 and the outer circle 42, are designed with machining allowance. That is, the diameters of the positioning circle 41 and the outer circle 42 of the finished products of the positive guide vane 2 and the negative guide vane 1, which are machined separately, are larger than the diameter of the final guide vane product. This is to facilitate further machining after welding so that the final guide vane product dimensions meet the design requirements.

[0034] Specifically, the reverse guide vane 1 and the forward guide vane 2 are designed and manufactured independently. Before welding, a welding positioning ring 5 is machined on the reverse guide vane 1, and the positions of the outer and inner weld points are marked. Welding holes 4 are machined on the forward guide vane 2. After welding the forward guide vane 2 and the reverse guide vane 1 through the welding holes 4, the welding holes 4 are machined flat. Then, the welding positioning ring 5 is removed by turning, and the diameters of the positioning circle 41 and the outer circle 42 are machined to their final values ​​to complete the final machining of the miniature centrifugal pump guide vanes.

[0035] This embodiment solves the problem of inconvenient casting of microchannels in the pump blades of micro centrifugal pumps by separately machining and welding the positive guide vane 2 and the negative guide vane 1. By reserving machining allowances for the welding positioning ring 5, positioning circle 41, and outer circle 42, the accuracy of the machining dimensions of the guide vane is ensured through further machining.
