Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pump station intake basins, and particularly relates to a shark mouth-shaped intake bellmouth for a pump station. Background Art
[0002] Pump stations play an important role in fields such as agricultural irrigation, industrial water supply, and urban drainage. As an important part of the pump station, the rationality of the design of the intake basin directly affects the operation efficiency and stability of the pump station. In actual operation, due to complex incoming flow conditions, unreasonable design of the intake basin and other factors, harmful vortices such as suction vortices, wall-attached vortices, and bottom-attached vortices often occur near the water inlet of the pump. These vortices not only reduce the operation efficiency of the pump station, but may also cause unit vibration, increased wear, and even equipment failures. Therefore, how to effectively suppress the generation of vortices in the intake basin is one of the key issues to improve the operation performance of the pump station.
[0003] Currently, the vortex control technologies for pump station intake basins mainly include: setting guide piers and guide plates in the intake basin, and setting vortex dissipation cones at the bottom of the bellmouth. These measures have obvious advantages, but additional guide piers and guide plates need to be installed, and the structural requirements for the intake basin are relatively high. The installation and maintenance of the guide plates are relatively complex and the cost is relatively high.
[0004] In summary, there is a lack of a vortex dissipation device in this field that has a simple structure, is easy to use, has a wide applicability, and can suppress the formation of vortices from the source to improve the operation efficiency and stability of the pump station.

[0012] Furthermore, the shark-mouth-shaped streamlined trumpet-shaped main body is connected to the water inlet pipe through a flange, and a sealing gasket is provided at the flange connection.
[0013] Furthermore, the shark-mouth-shaped streamlined trumpet-shaped main body and the water inlet pipe are of an integral structure.
[0014] Furthermore, the material of the shark-mouth-shaped streamlined trumpet-shaped main body is one of stainless steel, aluminum alloy or high-strength plastic.
[0015] Furthermore, the radian of the shark-mouth-shaped streamlined trumpet-shaped main body is realized by adjusting the parameters a and h of the ellipse equation to adapt to different flow rates and working conditions.
[0016] Furthermore, the diameter D of the inlet of the trumpet-shaped main body and the diameter d of the outlet of the trumpet-shaped main body and the height h are customized according to the actual working conditions of the water inlet pipe.

Thus, the features defined with "first", "second", etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0030] Embodiment 1 As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment provides a shark - mouth - shaped pumping station inlet bell - mouth, as Figure 1 shown. Specifically, the shark - mouth - shaped pumping station inlet bell - mouth includes a shark - mouth - shaped streamline bell - mouth body 1. The bell - mouth body inlet 2 is circular, and the bell - mouth body outlet 3 at the connection with the water inlet pipe is also circular.
[0031] As Figure 2 and 3 shown, the shape of the connection structure between the bell - mouth body inlet 2 and the bell - mouth body outlet 3 is circles of different sizes, gradually shrinking from the large circle at the bell - mouth body inlet 2 to the small circle at the bell - mouth body outlet 3 at the connection with the water inlet pipe. The middle is evenly transitioned through a series of circles with unequal diameters. The diameters of the series of circles change linearly, and the centers of the series of circles are arranged in an elliptical shape on the plane. Its arrangement in the XZ plane satisfies: , where, is the semi - major axis length of the ellipse, which is jointly determined by the diameter D of the circle at the bell - mouth water inlet and the diameter d of the circle at the connection with the water inlet pipe; is the height of the bell - mouth, . This distribution makes the bell - mouth form a streamline structure that gradually shrinks from the large circle at the inlet to the small circle at the connection with the water inlet pipe. This structure can effectively improve the water flow pattern near the bell - mouth, make the water flow entering the bell - mouth smooth, and eliminate the bottom - attached vortex.
[0032] The shark - mouth - shaped streamlined bell - mouth body 1 is connected to the water inlet pipe through a flange 4. A sealing gasket is provided at the flange connection to ensure the connection tightness and prevent water leakage. The material of the water inlet bell - mouth can be selected from stainless steel, aluminum alloy or high - strength plastic, and the specific selection depends on the working environment of the pumping station and the corrosion resistance requirements. In addition, the shark - mouth - shaped streamlined bell - mouth body and the water inlet pipe can also be an integral structure.
[0033] In this embodiment: The height of the shark - mouth bell - mouth is 45 mm, the interface diameter d at the connection with the water inlet pipe is 65 mm, and the inlet diameter D of the bell - mouth is 130 mm. is 65 mm.
[0034] The specific implementation provided above is used for a model test to illustrate the feasibility of the present invention. In the model test: The water pump flow rate is set to , the water depth in the intake pool is 94 mm, and the Froude number is 1.92, and the relative submergence depth = 0.75. Under this condition, compared with the prototype bell - mouth, the control effect of the shark - mouth - shaped water inlet bell - mouth on the bottom - attached vortex is studied.
[0035] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the generation of the bottom - attached vortex without using the shark - mouth - shaped water inlet bell - mouth. Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the elimination of the bottom - attached vortex after installing the shark - mouth - shaped water inlet bell - mouth. By comparing Figure 4 and Figure 5 , it can be found that installing the shark - mouth - shaped pumping - station water inlet bell - mouth provided in this embodiment can effectively inhibit the generation of the bottom - attached vortex under this condition.
[0036] In this embodiment, the streamlined profile of the shark - mouth reduces the boundary - layer separation and turbulent kinetic - energy dissipation, and reduces the probability of the formation of local low - pressure areas. According to Bernoulli's equation, the pressure decreases when the flow velocity increases, but the streamlined design makes the pressure gradient gentle, avoiding the concentration of low - pressure areas, thereby suppressing the suction vortex and the bottom - attached vortex.
[0037] The geometric characteristics of the ellipse - square ensure that the water - flow cross - section gradually shrinks and the flow velocity increases linearly. By adjusting a a and h h , the contraction rate can be controlled to match the flow - velocity distribution under different flow rates, and avoid the energy loss caused by sudden changes in flow velocity.
[0038] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalent technologies, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
