Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of centrifugal pump impeller design technology, and particularly relates to an integrated impeller design method for high-speed centrifugal pumps. Background Technology

[0002] An integrated impeller is a structural design that combines an inducer impeller and a centrifugal impeller. This design offers significant advantages in improving pump performance and efficiency. First, the integrated impeller design increases the impeller inlet pressure, ensuring higher cavitation resistance. Due to the action of the inducer blades, the fluid is pre-pressurized before entering the centrifugal impeller, which helps improve the overall pump's cavitation resistance. Furthermore, the integrated design avoids the connection and fit issues between traditional separate impellers, reducing energy loss and thus significantly improving impeller efficiency. Second, the integrated impeller has a more compact structure, allowing for a smaller overall pump size, saving space and material costs. Simultaneously, by reducing the number of components, this design also helps lower pump manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0003] There is a close relationship between cavitation and impeller profile. The design of the impeller profile directly affects the flow state of the fluid within the impeller, thus influencing the occurrence and development of cavitation. The impeller profile design determines the flow path and velocity distribution of the fluid within the impeller. A reasonable profile design can make the fluid flow more smoothly within the impeller, reducing flow separation and vortex phenomena. The geometric parameters of the impeller profile, such as the shape, angle, and number of blades, all affect cavitation characteristics. For example, the blade back slope angle is one of the important parameters affecting cavitation performance. Studies have shown that increasing the blade back slope angle within a certain range can improve the cavitation performance of high-speed centrifugal pumps. This is because increasing the back slope angle can change the flow state at the blade inlet, making the angle of attack when the fluid enters the impeller more reasonable and reducing the occurrence of cavitation. However, when the back slope angle exceeds a certain range, the cavitation performance will decrease. The design of the impeller profile also affects the distribution and development of cavitation phenomena.

[0004] The integrated profile structure helps to reduce the inlet velocity of the fluid, increase the inlet pressure, and enhance the pump's anti-cavitation characteristics. In terms of fluid dynamics performance, the integrated impeller also performs well. Its complex profile design enables multi-stage pressurization of the fluid and stabilizes the flow channel. This design can also effectively reduce the flow loss of the fluid in the impeller and further improve the pump's performance.

[0005] However, existing high-speed centrifugal pump impellers suffer from low cavitation resistance and low head. Therefore, designing a suitable integrated impeller design method is of great significance for the stable operation of high-speed centrifugal pumps against cavitation. Summary of the Invention

[0011] S4. Based on the simulated steady-state data and cavitation data of the integrated impeller, determine whether it meets the operating conditions. If not, optimize the integrated impeller using CNC programming tools based on the Grey Wolf algorithm and return to step S2. If yes, output the integrated impeller and complete the design of the high-speed centrifugal pump integrated impeller.

[0031] Furthermore, the formula for calculating the total wrap angle of the long blade is as follows:

[0082] In this embodiment, based on the existing operating conditions of high-speed centrifugal pumps, a preliminary design of the integrated impeller is carried out, adopting a design of 3 long blades + 3 short blades or 2 long blades + 4 short blades, as detailed below:

[0083] Integrated impeller with long blade design: To ensure good cavitation performance of the integrated impeller, the cavitation coefficient σ of the long blades should be taken as a small value. Therefore, according to the calculation formula of the cavitation coefficient of the long blades, the inlet flow coefficient of the long blades is taken as... And based on the inlet flow coefficient of the long blade The diameter of the leaf tip of the long leaf is D. i =40mm~72mm;

[0090] Among them, b out n represents the exit width of the long blade. s The specific speed of the integrated impeller is represented by H, the head of the integrated impeller is represented by n, and the rotational speed of the integrated impeller is represented by n.

[0091] The integrated impeller is designed as a conical impeller with long blades and an inlet hub ratio R. in =0.13~0.3, cone angle γ is 10°~15°; when 2 long blades are selected for the integrated impeller, the blade density τ=2; when 3 long blades are selected for the integrated impeller, the blade density τ=3; leading edge wrap angle θ of the long blade q=40°~160°, the total wrap angle of the long blades of the integrated impeller is calculated by the formula of the blade unfolded length and axial length of the integrated impeller, combined with the blade density and pitch.

[0106] S3. Based on the integrated impeller mesh, numerical simulation is performed using fluid dynamics calculation tools to obtain the simulated steady-state data and cavitation data of the integrated impeller, specifically:

[0107] The integrated impeller mesh was imported into a fluid dynamics calculation tool, and the inlet and outlet boundary conditions of the high-speed centrifugal pump were set using the fluid dynamics calculation tool according to the operating conditions of the high-speed centrifugal pump. Numerical simulation was then performed to obtain the simulated steady-state data and cavitation data of the integrated impeller.

[0108] In this embodiment, CFD flow field numerical simulation is performed. The integrated impeller mesh is imported into the fluid dynamics calculation tool, CFX software. Based on the operating conditions of the high-speed centrifugal pump, the inlet and outlet boundary conditions of the high-speed centrifugal pump are set using the fluid dynamics calculation tool CFX software to complete the numerical simulation and obtain the simulated steady-state data and cavitation data of the integrated impeller.

If not, optimize the integrated impeller using CNC programming tools based on the Grey Wolf algorithm and return to step S2. If yes, output the integrated impeller and complete the design of the high-speed centrifugal pump integrated impeller.

[0110] The specific steps for optimizing the integrated impeller using CNC programming tools are as follows:

[0111] The CNC programming tool is used to edit and obtain multiple tool bodies, which are then grouped into a tool body group. The tool body group is prioritized and marked to obtain a pre-processed tool body group.

[0112] Taking the integrated impeller as the target body, based on the pre-processed tool body group, the target body is surrounded by the pre-processed tool bodies, and iterative optimization is performed to obtain the position vector of each tool body and the position vector of the target body. The distance between the position of each tool body and the position of the target body is calculated.

[0113] In each iteration, the three best tool bodies in the current tool body group are retained as the best tool bodies, and the positions of the tool bodies other than the best tool bodies are updated to obtain the position information of the current candidate tool bodies.

[0114] In response to reaching the maximum number of iterations, the optimal target body is obtained based on the position information of the current candidate tool body, and the optimal integrated impeller is output, thus completing the optimization of the integrated impeller.

[0115] In this embodiment, based on the simulated steady-state data and cavitation data of the integrated impeller, it is determined whether the operating conditions are met. If not, the integrated impeller is optimized using a CNC programming tool based on the Grey Wolf algorithm, and the process returns to step S2. If yes, the integrated impeller is output, and the design of the integrated impeller for the high-speed centrifugal pump is completed.

[0116] Integrated impeller optimization process:

[0117] Multiple tool bodies are obtained through editing using CNC programming tools and grouped into a tool body group. The tool bodies are then prioritized and labeled α, β, δ, and ω from top to bottom. α represents the optimal tool body, followed by β and δ tool bodies, with ω being the least preferred. The optimization process is guided by tool bodies α, β, and δ, while ω only follows the instructions of other higher-level tool bodies, resulting in a pre-processed tool body group.

[0118] Taking the integrated impeller as the target body, iterative optimization is performed by surrounding the target body with tool body. The mathematical model expression of the iterative optimization is as follows:

[0119] X(t+1)=X p (t)-A*D

[0120] D = C * X p (txt)

[0121] A = 2a*r1 - a

[0122] C = 2r²

[0123] Where t represents the current iteration number, X(t+1) represents the position vector of the tool body in the (t+1)th iteration, X p X(t) represents the position vector of the target body in the t-th iteration, X(t) represents the position vector of the tool body in the t-th iteration, * represents the Hadamard product operation, A and C both represent the coordination coefficient vectors, D represents the distance between the tool body position and the target body position, a represents the convergence factor, and r1 and r2 represent random vectors in [0,1]. During the construction of the optimization target body, the decrease in the value of a will cause the value of A to fluctuate accordingly; where a decreases linearly from 2 to 0 during the iteration process.

[0124] In each iteration, the three best tool bodies in the current tool body group are retained: the first best tool body α1, the second best tool body β1, and the third best tool body δ1. The positions of the tool bodies other than the best tool bodies are updated to obtain the position information of the current candidate tool bodies.

[0125] In response to reaching the maximum number of iterations, the optimal target body is obtained based on the position information of the current candidate tool body, and the optimal integrated impeller is output, thus completing the optimization of the integrated impeller;

[0126] The mathematical model expression for updating the position of the tool body is as follows:

[0127] X(t+1)=(X1+X2+X3) / 3

[0128] X1 = X α -A1*D α X2 = X β -A2*D β X3 = X δ -A3*D δ

[0129] D α =C1*X α -X,D β =C2*X β -X,D δ =C3*X δ -X

[0130] Where X(t+1) represents the position vector of the tool body in the (t+1)th iteration, X1 represents the position vector of target body 1, X2 represents the position vector of target body 2, X3 represents the position vector of target body 3, and X... α D represents the position vector of the tool body α. α X represents the distance between tool body α and the optimal tool body. β D represents the position vector of the tool body β. β X represents the distance between tool body β and the optimal tool body. δ D represents the position vector of the tool body δ. δ Let δ represent the distance between the tool body and the optimal tool body, and let A1, A2, A3, C1, C2, C3 all represent the coordination coefficient vectors, and let X represent the position vector of the candidate tool body;

[0131] When |A|>1, the tool bodies are distributed as widely as possible across different regions to search for the target body. When |A|<1, the tool bodies will focus on searching for the target body in one or more regions. When A is in the interval [-1,1], the next position of the search agent can be anywhere between the current tool body and the target body.
