Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water pumps, and in particular, to an erosion-resistant device, a design method, and a water pump. Background Art

[0002] Sediments and particles drive water flow to continuously impact and rub water pump components as the impeller rotates. The solid-liquid two-phase flow transport medium with a large proportion will reduce the pump performance. After long-term operation, even situations such as wear failure of hydraulic components and wear and fracture of the diffuser shell often occur, seriously affecting the normal use of the water pump; that is, under the action of the impeller, part of the sediment has a diversion that converges to the bottom of the diffuser shell after passing through the impeller outlet, and since the area between the front cover plate of the impeller and the diffuser shell is not the main flow range of the medium, a region with a relatively small flow velocity is formed from the impeller axis outward, causing sediment to accumulate. Therefore, under the action of the circulating flow generated on the outer periphery of the impeller, the sediment impacts the side wall of the diffuser shell at a high speed, resulting in wear and even fracture.

[0003] The existing technical path is to reduce friction through methods of material enhancement, such as setting wear-resistant coatings, wear-resistant material layers, elastic rubber layers, or arc structures.

[0004] For example, the Chinese utility model patent CN209724797U discloses a diffuser shell with an improved structure. By setting inserts on the inner wall of the diffuser shell body, the inserts are matched with the impeller assembly cavity, and the shape of the inserts is adapted to the shape of the inner wall of the corresponding part of the diffuser shell body, thereby achieving the technical effect of being able to avoid the diffuser shell from being impacted and worn through by sediment and improving the service life of the diffuser shell; however, this solution resists sediment impact through the characteristics of the material itself. In an environment with a higher sediment content and rotational speed, the elasticity and hardness of the material are not sufficient to offset the sediment impact and thus fail. Summary of the Invention

The axial height at the position.

[0008] In a preferred example of the present application, it can be further configured that: the distance between the midline of the groove and the axis of the impeller is equal when the midline of the groove rotates circumferentially.

Through simulation or experiment, it is obtained that when the sediment and particle concentration in the water pump component is q Kg / m 3 , there is a risk of wear to the component structure. The weight of the sand entering the groove after the pump runs smoothly is , unit kg. Then the concentration per unit volume is:

The mounting plate 1 is annular, and the mounting plate 1 can be integrally formed with the guide shell and is located on the inner bottom surface of the guide shell. At least one groove 11 is provided on the mounting plate 1. The groove 11 is arranged in a ring shape. The groove 11 and the inner side wall of the guide shell cause the water flow to form a turbulent flow. The width value range of the groove 11 is 0.01 - 10 mm, and the interval between adjacent grooves 11 is 0.5 - 10 mm. The protrusion forming the groove 11 is defined as a wear-resistant ring 12, that is, the width of the wear-resistant ring 12 is 0.5 - 10 mm, and the widths of the wear-resistant rings 12 may not be equal. The midline of the groove 11 is at an equal distance from the impeller axis when rotating circumferentially. In other embodiments, the distance between the midline of the groove 11 and the impeller axis is not equal when rotating circumferentially. Referring to Figure 3 , with the flow velocity direction of the circulating flow as the positive direction of the angle, the distance between the midline of the groove 11 and the impeller axis increases with the increase of the angle when rotating circumferentially. The groove 11 is in contact or not in contact with the inner side wall of the guide shell. That is, the groove 11 includes but is not limited to circular, wavy, and planar spiral shapes, and the cross-section of the groove 11 includes but is not limited to V-shaped, C-shaped, or rectangular, etc. When there are multiple grooves 11, the widths of the grooves 11 may not be equal. The mounting plate 1 can be cylindrical or plate-shaped. The groove 11 can be formed by two adjacent wear-resistant rings 12, or can be formed by a wear-resistant ring 12 and the inner side wall of the guide shell. When the mounting plate 1 is cylindrical, it can also be formed by a wear-resistant ring 12 and the inner side wall of the mounting plate 1.

[0069] The surface formed by the upper surface of a single or multiple wear-resistant rings 12 can be a plane, a conical surface, or other rotating surfaces. That is, the cross-section of the upper surface of the erosion-resistant device can be a rotating body or a non-rotating body surface formed by shapes such as curves, oblique lines, and broken lines.

[0070] The cross-sectional area formed by the product of the width and depth of the groove ranges from 0.01 to 20 mm². The depth H1 of the groove, in units of m, satisfies: or: 1, where a is the minimum distance between the upper surface of the erosion-resistant device and the front cover plate of the impeller, m, H is the axial height of the mounting plate, in units of m, is the axial vertical distance from the position of the base of the guide shell corresponding to any radial distance of the mounting plate to the front cover plate of the impeller, in units of m. When is outside the projection range of the impeller, is the axial vertical distance from the position of the base of the guide shell corresponding to any radial distance of the mounting plate to the extension line of the lower surface of the front cover plate of the impeller. When is within the groove range, H is the distance from the intersection of the upper surface of the groove and to the bottom.
