As a key energy conversion component of centrifugal compressors, the quality of the design and manufacture of centrifugal impellers directly affects the performance and efficiency of centrifugal compressors. Over the years, researchers have continuously optimized the shape of centrifugal impellers, selected high-quality materials, and adopted advanced manufacturing processes to meet the high requirements for the performance of centrifugal impellers in various industrial fields.

[0025] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Embodiment 1 Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the model of the prototype centrifugal impeller according to the embodiment of the present invention. The centrifugal impeller includes a hub 1 and blades 2. Among them, the blades include a leading-edge inlet 3, a trailing-edge outlet 4, a blade root 5, and a blade tip 6. The specific implementation is as follows: 1. Calculate the cutting feed distance from the blade root to the blade tip at the leading-edge inlet position of the centrifugal impeller blade according to the equal residual height method. The blade is defined as a bi-parametric spline surface, and the equation expression is: , where are the control vertices of the surface, are the basis functions of the parametric curves in the u direction and the v direction of the parametric surface respectively, k , l are the curve degrees in the u direction and the v direction of the surface respectively. It is defined that the parameter u from the inlet to the outlet of the blade is in the v direction, and the parameter from the blade root to the blade tip is in the k direction. The surface type in this embodiment is a bi-parametric cubic uniform B-spline surface, so l = S = 3. The calculation of the cutting feed distance , , needs to be determined according to the corresponding surface form. The surface forms are divided into three types: plane, convex surface, and concave surface. The specific expressions are: h , where R is the residual height, r is the tool radius, Figure 2 is the radius of curvature. Figure 2 (a) is a plane, Figure 2 (b) is a convex surface, Figure 2 (c) is a concave surface. The radius of curvature r and its concavity and convexity are determined by calculating through the Gaussian curvature method. The calculation expression is: , where E, F, G, L, M, N are the coefficients related to the first fundamental form of the surface and the second fundamental form of the surface respectively. The coefficients related to the first and second fundamental forms of the surface are obtained by calculating partial derivatives of the parametric equation of the surface as shown in the following formula:

[0027]

[0028] The convexity and concavity of the surface are judged by the following criteria: the radius of curvature r >0 indicates a convex surface, r <0 indicates a concave surface, r =0 indicates a plane. At the same time, the residual height h should be determined according to the standard of the surface roughness of the blade body. The value of the residual height on the surface of the blade in this embodiment h = is 0.1 mm.

[0029] 2. Calculate the parametric spline curve family of the blade from the inlet to the outlet according to the cutting row spacing at the leading edge inlet position. The specific steps for calculating the parametric spline curve family are as follows: First, according to the blade root C root ( u ), the tip C tip ( u ) parametric curve equations, calculate the curve length L at the inlet position of the blade; Then, from the different cutting row spacings S 0, S 1... S m , calculate v the corresponding parameter values v 0, v 1... v m , where v 0 = S 0 / L , v 1 = ( S 0 + S 1) / L ... v m = ( S 0 + S 1 +... + S m ) / L ; Finally, fix the parameter in the double parametric spline surface equation of the blade v , that is, the obtained parameter valuesv 0, v 1… v m to obtain the blade u the parametric spline curve family equations in the normal direction C ( u v0 ) C ( u v1 )… C ( u vm ) Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram for generating the blades of a new type of centrifugal impeller.

[0030] 3. The parametric spline curve family equations for normal offset of the original blade C ( u v0 ) C ( u v1 )… C ( u vm ) to obtain the control curve family of the new type of centrifugal impeller blades for reducing secondary flow losses C´ ( u v0 ) C´ ( u v1 )… C´ ( u vm ) The expression is: , … where h is the residual height, is the normal vector, By solving the partial derivatives of the blade's two-parameter spline surface u in the v direction and S u , S v The two are obtained by cross multiplication, and the expressions are respectively , ,

[0031] 4. Using the isoparametric method to transform the control curve family of the new type of centrifugal impeller blades C´ ( u v0 ) C´ ( u v1 )… C´ ( u vm ) and the original root and tip parameter line equationsC root ( u )、 C tip ( u ) are discretized to obtain a new set of control points for the centrifugal impeller blade { j uv0,0 、 j uv0,1 … j uv0,n}, { j uv1,0 、 j uv1,1 … j uv1,n}…{ j uvm,0 、 j uvm,1 … j uvm,n}, { j root,0 、 j root,1 … j root,n}, { j tip,0 、 j tip,1 … j tip,n}., where the equation of the new impeller blade curve family C´ ( u v0 )、 C´ ( u v1 )… C´ ( u vm ) and the parametric line equations of the blade root and blade tip C root ( u )、 C tip ( u ) should be discretized with the same parameter values, and the value range is [0.01, 0.1]. The equal parameter value used in this embodiment is 0.05.

[0032] 5. Use an arc line to sequentially connect the control point sets of two adjacent new impeller blade parametric curves from the blade root to the blade tip, that is, { j root,0 、 j uv0,0 、 j uv1,0 … j uvm,0 、j tip,0}, {j root,1 , j uv0,1 , j uv1,1 … j uvm,1 、j tip,1}…{ j root,n , j uv0,n , j uv1,n … j uvm,n , j tip,n}, the arc connection method adopts the three - point method, and the starting and ending points are v the control point sets in pairs, and the mid - point is tangent to the original blade surface.

[0033] 6. Using the surface grid method to reconstruct the u - direction new - type centrifugal impeller blade control curve family, the v - direction arc line and the original blade root and blade tip parameter lines, then the new - type centrifugal impeller can be obtained, as shown in Figure 4 (a), Figure 4 (b) is Figure 4 (a) The partial enlarged schematic comparison diagram of the new - type centrifugal impeller and the prototype impeller at the outlet position 7. Among them, 8 is the prototype impeller, and 9 is the new - type centrifugal impeller. Figure 5 is the streamline distribution comparison diagram of the prototype impeller and the new - type impeller at the outlet position 7. Among them, Figure 5 (a) is the prototype impeller, Figure 5 (b) is the new - type impeller. It can be seen from the figure that there is a secondary flow from the disk side to the shroud side on the blade surface of the prototype impeller. At the same time, due to the tip clearance between the blade and the shroud, the secondary flow flowing to the shroud side further develops into the leakage secondary flow of the tip clearance; compared with the prototype impeller, the new - type centrifugal impeller effectively reduces the secondary flow loss from the disk side to the shroud side on the blade surface, thereby also reducing the leakage secondary flow loss of the tip clearance. Figure 6 is the performance curve comparison diagram of the prototype impeller and the new - type centrifugal impeller. Among them, Figure 6 (a) is the isentropic efficiency, Figure 6 (b) is the total pressure ratio. It can be seen from the figure that the isentropic efficiency and the total pressure ratio of the present invention are both improved compared with the prototype centrifugal impeller. Thus, it can be obtained that by arranging a continuous arc - shaped convex structure on the blades of the prototype impeller from the inlet to the outlet, the present invention achieves the purpose of reducing the secondary flow loss and improving the performance of the centrifugal impeller, thereby providing certain technical support for the field of modern mechanical manufacturing and processing, and having certain popularization and application value.
