Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of centrifugal pump design, specifically to a method for designing twisted blades, twisted blades, and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] Centrifugal pumps, widely used in industrial, agricultural, and municipal water supply systems, directly impact system efficiency and stability. However, centrifugal pumps are prone to cavitation when transporting liquids, especially at high speeds. Cavitation occurs when the local pressure of a liquid drops to its saturated vapor pressure, causing bubbles to form inside the pump and rapidly collapse. Cavitation not only reduces pump efficiency but also exacerbates vibration and noise, and in severe cases, can even damage the pump.

[0003] To improve the cavitation performance of centrifugal pumps, one common method is to improve the structural parameters of the pump inlet, specifically including the following measures: 1. Increasing the flow area at the pump inlet can reduce the liquid velocity and lower the risk of cavitation; 2. Increasing the radius of curvature of the impeller cover inlet section can improve the liquid flow state, thereby reducing the possibility of cavitation; 3. Reducing the blade inlet thickness can reduce the flow resistance of the liquid at the blade inlet, thus reducing cavitation; 4. Using a pre-inducing impeller, which can pre-pressurize the liquid before it enters the impeller, increasing the liquid pressure and reducing cavitation.

[0004] However, while these improvements have enhanced the cavitation performance of centrifugal pumps to some extent, they have also introduced some new problems. For example, improving the structural parameters of the pump inlet may lead to flow separation and the generation of eddies, thereby increasing hydraulic losses and noise and affecting the pump's operational stability. Using a front-mounted inducer increases the pump's structural complexity and manufacturing costs, and may also make maintenance and repair more difficult. In addition, the matching problem between the inducer and the impeller can easily lead to unstable flow and inability to continuously pressurize, resulting in reduced centrifugal pump efficiency and poor cavitation performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems mentioned in existing technologies, this invention proposes a twisted blade design method, twisted blades, and their applications. The twisted blade design is achieved by increasing the blade wrap angle. The twisted blades are wound around the hub, effectively increasing the flow area and improving pump efficiency. The blade inlet section is arranged with equal pitch to increase the fluid pressure at the inlet, reduce cavitation margin, and decrease the pump's axial dimensions, making the centrifugal pump structure more compact and reducing maintenance costs. Furthermore, the invention proposes using the least squares method and trigonometric polynomial fitting to regress the blade rib line, obtaining a fitting function expression for the blade rib line, which facilitates optimization and application in engineering practice.

[0062] Secondly, the present invention proposes a twisted blade, which is designed by the above-described method.

[0063] Thirdly, the present invention proposes a centrifugal pump that utilizes the aforementioned twisted blades.

[0064] Compared with the prior art, the present invention achieves the following technical effects:

[0065] The blade design method provided by this invention aims to improve the cavitation performance of the pump. It calculates the blade rim wrap angle using multiple parameters, resulting in a twisted blade structure wound around the hub. This effectively increases the flow area and improves pump efficiency. By arranging the blade inlet section with equal pitch, the inlet fluid pressure is increased, cavitation margin is reduced, and the pump's axial dimensions are decreased, making the centrifugal pump structure more compact and reducing maintenance costs. Based on the least squares principle, a trigonometric polynomial fitting method is used to perform regression analysis on the blade rib line, achieving a precise description of the blade geometry. This invention provides a theoretical basis for blade modification and optimization design, enabling rapid and accurate adjustment of blade parameters to further improve pump performance.

[0066] The twisted blades designed in this invention feature a large wrap angle and a small angle of attack, which can effectively reduce the pressure drop when the liquid working fluid flows around the blade profile, reduce flow loss, and thus improve the fluid efficiency and energy conversion efficiency of the centrifugal pump.

[0067] The twisted blades wrapped around the hub significantly increase the flow area, achieving good flow guidance and improving the pump's fluid dynamics performance. At the same time, the centrifugal force is small, and the liquid working medium is less prone to gas-liquid separation during flow, effectively improving the cavitation performance of the centrifugal pump and extending the pump's service life.

[0068] To ensure a uniform radial velocity distribution along the axial surface of the inlet region, an equal pitch arrangement is adopted for the inlet section of the twisted blades, effectively avoiding flow losses caused by uneven velocity distribution and further optimizing the inlet flow conditions of the pump. At the same time, a high blade density is set in the blade inlet section, so that the maximum pressure drop point is located in the outer edge region of the blade, which is far from the blade inlet and has higher fluid pressure, reducing the critical effective cavitation margin. The inlet section eliminates the need for inlet guide vanes in traditional centrifugal pumps, which not only effectively reduces the axial distance but also makes the overall structure of the centrifugal pump more compact, reducing manufacturing costs and installation difficulty.

[0104] The impeller outlet diameter is obtained from the above calculations. It is 156mm wide at the outlet. It is 4mm.

[0105] Step 2: Obtain the parameters of the twisted blades

[0106] This embodiment calculates the wrap angle of the twisted blade rim based on the circumferential velocity and the axial velocity of the inlet diameter, as shown in the following formula:

[0107]

[0108]

[0109] In the formula: The circumferential velocity representing the inlet diameter; The inlet shaft surface velocity represents the inlet diameter; This represents the blade rejection coefficient, taken as 0.95;

[0110] The circumferential velocity of the inlet diameter can be calculated using the above formula: The inlet shaft surface velocity is 14.24 m / s. It is 2.4 m / s.

[0111] The wrap angle of the twisted blade rim is derived and calculated using the following formula, as follows:

[0112]

[0113] In the formula: Indicates the angle between the rim inlet diameter and the fluid flow angle; This represents the arctangent function.

[0129] Substituting the calculated values ​​from the above formula into the following formula, we can obtain the twisted blade rim wrap angle, the short blade rim wrap angle, and the short blade hub wrap angle:

[0130]

[0131]

[0132]

[0133] In the formula: Indicates the wrap angle of the twisted blade rim; Indicates the rim wrap angle of the short blade. Indicates the hub wrap angle of the short blade. This indicates the inlet sweep angle, taken as 130°; Indicates the rim airfoil placement angle; This represents the airfoil cascade density, taken as 2; This indicates the number of twisted blades.

[0134] The calculated rim wrap angle of the short blade The hub wrap angle is 235°, with short blades. The twisted blade wrap angle is 355°. The angle is 490°, and the plane projection of the twisted blade is shown in the image. Figure 1 , Figure 1 The rim wrap angle of the twisted blade This refers to the angle between the line connecting the inlet edge of the twisted blade to the center of the circle and the line connecting the outlet edge to the center of the circle.

[0135] In this embodiment, to prevent alternating blade cavitation, the number of twisted blades is generally set to an odd number. When the number of twisted blades and the number of main impeller blades are multiples of each other, the symmetry of the flow can be increased. The calculation is performed according to the following formula:

[0136]

[0137] In the formula: Indicates the total number of blades; Indicates the inlet diameter of the twisted blade; Indicates the impeller outlet diameter; Indicates the rim airfoil placement angle; The angle of the hub airfoil is represented by ; sin represents the sine function.

[0138] Substitute the numerical values ​​to obtain the total number of blades. The value is 5.5, but we take 6 here, so the total number of blades is 6. Therefore, we choose twisted blades. There are 3 main blades and 3 twisted blades, and the twisted blades are evenly distributed along the axis of the main blades.

[0139] In this embodiment, the lead of the inlet section of the twisted blade refers to the helix length of the short blade from the inlet to the outlet. A constant pitch design is adopted to ensure that the geometric parameters of the blade remain consistent in the radial and axial directions. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0151] Step 3: Create a 3D model

[0152] This embodiment uses the calculated dimensional parameters and twisted blade parameters, along with appropriate centrifugal pump parameters, to create a 3D model of the centrifugal pump using CFturbo (CFturbo software & Engineering rotating machinery design software). In practical applications, considering the large blade wrap angle and high blade twist, a semi-open impeller is selected to improve the pump's anti-clogging capability. A schematic diagram of the model is shown below. Figure 3 As shown.

[0153] Based on the 3D model diagram, select an appropriate perspective to generate a spatial blade profile diagram. Select a section in the spatial blade profile diagram, find the rib line in the section, and connect the rib line points of each section to obtain the blade rib line.

[0154] Step 4: Fitting leaf skeletal lines

[0155] The three-dimensional coordinates of the blade rib line are obtained through coordinate transformation. In this example, the blade is quite twisted, so a second-order trigonometric polynomial is used to fit the blade rib line in three segments. By ensuring that each segment is tangent at the nodes, the curve is smoothly connected. For details on the twisted blade profile and segmentation, see [link to documentation]. Figure 4 .

[0161] The fitting results are as follows:

[0162]

[0163] See the comparison chart of the prototype line and the fitted line. Figure 5 ,from Figure 5 As can be seen from the present invention, the fitting profile obtained by the twisted blade design method has a small deviation from the prototype profile, which can provide a theoretical basis for the modification and optimization design of blades.
