[0002] Icebreakers are usually equipped with powerful main pumps to help the ship pass through ice areas. Due to insufficient icebreaking ability, the traditional blade structure may lead to low icebreaking efficiency, making it difficult to cope with different hardness and thicknesses of ice layers. It is precisely because the surface design of the blade is not optimized enough, resulting in large energy losses during the cutting process of water flow and ice layer, leading to low overall energy efficiency. At the same time, the strong impact of the ice layer on the blade often causes significant wear and shortens the service life of the blade.

[0003] Therefore, it is urgent to design a main pump blade for an icebreaker to achieve higher icebreaking ability, lower energy loss, and longer service life. By optimizing the shape and surface structure of the blade, water flow disturbance and cavitation phenomenon are reduced, ensuring the stability and reliability of the pump under various complex working conditions.
