[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an improved high-performance fire pump includes a centrifugal impeller, a volute, a rotating shaft, and a motor. The centrifugal impeller is installed in the volute and is connected to the motor through the rotating shaft. The centrifugal impeller includes a rear disc 1, a front disc 2, blades 3, a hub 4, and an inlet ring 21. A plurality of blades 3 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction and connected between the rear disc 1 and the front disc 2. The inlet end of the front disc 2 has an inlet ring 21, the inner circumferential side of the rear disc 1 has a hub 4, and the inner side of the rear disc 1 has a first plane ( Figure 3 is a vertical plane or a plumb plane); it is characterized in that: the blade 3 includes a main blade portion 31 and a small blade portion 32, the small blade portion 32 and the main blade portion 31 are integrally formed, the main blade portion 31 has a main blade leading edge 33, the trailing edge of the small blade portion 32 repeats or overlaps with the main blade leading edge 33, that is, the trailing edge of the small blade portion 32 constitutes a part of the main blade leading edge 33, and an angle a is formed between the top edge of the small blade portion 32 and the first plane, and the angle a between the top edges of at least 50% (≥0.5N) of the plurality of small blade portions 32 (N) and the first plane is not equal (a1≠a2≠a3≠a4...); preferably, the angle a between the top edges of at least 90% (≥0.9N) of the plurality of small blade portions 32 (N) and the first plane is not equal (a1≠a2≠a3≠a4...).

[0024] Further, the angle a=2-10°, preferably 4-8°.

[0025] An improved high-performance fire pump of the present invention can reduce turbulence or backflow and secondary flow at the blade inlet in the impeller chamber through the design of the small blade portion 32, specifically, the angle a between the top edge of at least 50-90% (≥0.5-0.9N) of the multiple small blade portions 32 (N) is different from the first plane, which can improve the anti-cavitation performance of the fire pump, thereby improving the hydraulic performance and efficiency of the fire pump.

[0030] The main blade leading edge 33 has an axial width B, and the small blade portion 32 has a maximum axial width b, where b=(0.02-0.3)B, preferably, 0.13-0.18.

It can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention.
