For example, patent documents CN108825550A, CN201386660Y, and CN201190691Y all use such means to achieve quick disassembly of the impeller, but this type of impeller is exposed during normal pumping work, that is, the screw hole is not filled, resulting in water flowing into the screw hole. On the one hand, water will rust the threads on the inner surface of the screw hole, and on the other hand, the existence of the screw hole will cause vortices to be generated around the screw hole during the rotation of the impeller, and the performance of the impeller will be reduced.

The lower end surface of the guide blade just butts with the upper end surface of the impeller blade. When the impeller needs to be removed from the rotating shaft, the guide cone is first unscrewed from the screw hole of the impeller, and then the screw is screwed into the screw hole, and the rotating shaft is pushed out by the screw to achieve disassembly. The guide cone can close the screw hole on the impeller, so that when the impeller rotates, no vortex will be generated around the screw hole, and the hydraulic performance of the impeller will not be reduced; the guide cone has a contact surface that contacts the upper end surface of the impeller hub, and a circle of grooves is provided between the contact surface and the external threads. A sealing ring is provided in the groove to prevent water from entering the screw hole and corroding the threads on the inner surface of the screw hole.
