Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fluid machinery, in particular to a deep well pump, and more particularly to a multi-beam laser welding method for a deep well pump and an impeller thereof. Background Art

[0002] A deep-well pump is a mechanical device used to extract groundwater from deep wells. Featuring compact structure, high efficiency, and stable performance, deep-well pumps are widely used in agricultural irrigation, industrial water supply, urban water supply, and drainage. Existing deep-well pumps on the market often suffer from poor flow stabilization at high speeds, high noise and vibration, and difficulty in maintenance. As demand for deep-well pumps increases, the demand for improved performance is growing. Consequently, optimizing the design of deep-well pumps is essential.

[0003] The prior art CN220850045U discloses a new type of high-speed deep well pump, including a motor 1 and a pump body 2. The motor 1 shaft 3 directly passes through multiple impellers 4 in the pump body 2, thereby synchronously driving them to rotate; the motor 1 includes a barrel 5 and a front end cover 6 and a rear end cover 7 arranged in the barrel 5. The front end cover 6 and the barrel 5, and the rear end cover 7 and the barrel 5 are all fixedly connected by laser welding. In order to improve the coaxiality and stability of the shaft 3, the premise is that the bearing grooves in the front end cover 6 and the rear end cover 7 must ensure concentricity. The front end cover 6 and the barrel 5, and the rear end cover 7 and the barrel 5 are laser welded to obtain a firm connection, so that it is placed in a dual-spindle lathe, and the bearing grooves in the front end cover 6 and the rear end cover 7 are clamped once and processed twice to ensure their concentricity. In this way, the motor 1 shaft 3 can also ensure stability under high-speed operation.

[0004] However, the above structure has design limitations, and during the actual application of deep-well pumps, the applicant discovered a number of defects: 1. At high speeds, the impeller will vibrate, creating a very loud noise that can lead to safety accidents; 2. As the pump body runs longer, the guide vanes experience severe cavitation, which leads to severe wear and tear, resulting in low diversion efficiency; 3. The impeller, a working component, is severely worn and cracked, posing a significant safety hazard. Considering the complex internal waterway structure of deep-well pumps, the applicant has proposed a multi-beam laser welding method for deep-well pumps and their impellers to address these issues, including flutter, cavitation, noise, vibration, and maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose a multi-beam laser welding method for a deep well pump and its impeller.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The pump is connected with the pump end face through the through-hole, and the pump end faces the bottom end.The pump end faces the bottom end of the pump end and the pump end face are connected with the pump end by the hydraulic pump cap to the hydraulic pump cap. The hydraulic pump is connected with the hydraulic pump cap to the hydraulic pump cap.

[0008] Furthermore, both ends of the guide vane are movably mounted on the groove wall surface of the drainage groove through a short shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, the cross section of the guide ring is triangular, and the guide ring is installed at the outlet side of the jet flow groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the impeller includes a first blade and a second blade, and the second blade is fixed to the outlet end of the first blade through a connecting plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the first blade is installed between the impeller hub and the impeller cover plate, and a buffer gap exists between the second blade and the first blade, the impeller hub and the impeller cover plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the radial length of the second blade is L1, and the radial width of the inlet flow channel of the guide vane is L2, wherein 0.3L2≤L1<0.8L2.

[0013] Furthermore, the second blade is a straight blade.

[0014] A multi-beam laser welding method for an impeller, wherein the impeller is an impeller of a deep well pump, comprises the following steps:

[0015] Pre-treat all parts of the impeller to be welded to remove surface impurities and oil stains to ensure a clean welding surface;

[0016] Fix the impeller parts to be welded on the welding fixture, and adjust the impeller position through the fixture to ensure the impeller position is stable during the welding process;

[0017] At least three laser beams are used to act simultaneously on the impeller portion to be welded, wherein one main laser beam is incident vertically to the welding portion, and the remaining auxiliary laser beams are incident at an angle of 10° to 30° to the main laser beam;

[0018] During the welding process, the energy distribution and pulse frequency of each laser beam are adjusted in real time according to the material and thickness of the impeller. At the same time, the deformation of the impeller is monitored in real time through a high-precision displacement sensor. When the deformation exceeds the preset threshold, the energy input of the laser beam and the welding speed are automatically adjusted through feedback.

[0019] After welding is completed, the welded joint is heat treated. The welded impeller is heated to 300-500℃, kept at this temperature for 2-4 hours, and then cooled with the furnace to eliminate welding residual stress.

[0020] Furthermore, in the pretreatment step, a combination of chemical corrosion and mechanical polishing is used. The impeller surface to be welded is first corroded with a nitric acid solution with a mass fraction of 5-10% for 3-5 minutes, and then mechanically polished with sandpaper with a particle size of 800-1200 mesh.

[0021] Furthermore, the fixture adopts an adaptive flexible clamping structure, which can automatically adjust the clamping point and clamping force, and the fixture has a vibration isolation function.

[0022] Furthermore, a high-speed camera is used to collect real-time image information of the molten pool during the welding process, and an image processing algorithm is used to analyze the shape, size and dynamic changes of the molten pool. The parameters of the laser beam are adjusted based on the analysis results.

[0023] Furthermore, after heat treatment, ultrasonic flaw detection and metallographic structure analysis are performed on the weld joints, and repair welding is performed on the defective parts.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0025] 1. When the impeller moves at high speed, flutter and noise problems may occur due to fluid (cavitation, unstable flow, etc.), mechanical failure (bearing damage, shaft deformation, etc.), installation and connection (insufficient installation accuracy, loose connection, etc.), and imbalance (uneven mass distribution, impeller damage or loss, etc.). Therefore, in order to better stabilize the impeller and reduce flutter, the applicant has adopted a method of providing a groove on the radial end face of the impeller hub inlet, and an end face convex ring and a flow channel side convex ring on the radial end face of the guide vane hub outlet, wherein the end face convex ring is fitted with a gap in the groove, and a buffer fluid is assisted in the gap, which greatly alleviates the occurrence of flutter. In addition, the flow channel side convex ring is in contact with the flow channel side hub surface of the impeller, which limits the displacement of the impeller in the radial direction and stabilizes the high-speed operation of the impeller.

[0026] 2. Due to the unstable pressure and excessive resistance in the guide vanes, and the changes in operating conditions such as flow rate and speed, cavitation is also very likely to occur in the guide vanes. The generation of cavitation will cause abnormal noise in the deep well pump, and the generation and burst of bubbles will seriously affect the quality and service life of the guide vanes. The applicant has set a through drainage groove on the outlet side of the impeller hub, and a guide vane is radially arranged in the drainage groove. The hub inlet side of the guide vane is provided with a through jet flow groove, and a guide ring is provided in the jet flow groove. The axis of the drainage flow groove is aligned with the axis of the jet flow groove. The center lines are collinear, and the axis line points to the guide vane outlet position. The above structure increases the pressure of the fluid in the guide vane, stabilizes the operating conditions, and reduces the occurrence of noise. In addition, the applicant has also made pressurization improvements to the guide vane inlet. For example, the impeller includes a first blade and a second blade. The second blade is fixed to the outlet end of the first blade through a connecting plate. The first blade is installed between the impeller hub and the impeller cover plate. There is a buffer gap between the second blade and the first blade, the impeller hub and the impeller cover plate, which can also assist in improving the inlet flow state of the guide vane, and the noise and vibration are naturally reduced.

[0027] 3. The impeller is very easy to be damaged during long-term operation. The main reason is the improper selection of welding materials and processes, such as mismatched welding materials, unreasonable welding process parameters, and problems such as porosity, slag inclusion, and incomplete welding. Taking the above reasons into consideration, the applicant optimized the laser welding process of the impeller, such as pre-treating the impeller parts to be welded to remove surface impurities and oil stains to ensure a clean welding surface; fixing the impeller parts to be welded on the welding fixture, adjusting the impeller position through the fixture to ensure the stability of the impeller position during welding; using at least three laser beams to act simultaneously on the impeller parts to be welded In this process, one main laser beam is incident perpendicularly to the weld site, while the remaining auxiliary laser beams are incident at an angle of 10° to 30° with the main laser beam. During the welding process, the energy distribution and pulse frequency of each laser beam are adjusted in real time based on the material and thickness of the impeller. A high-precision displacement sensor monitors the impeller's deformation in real time. When the deformation exceeds a preset threshold, the laser beam's energy input and welding speed are automatically adjusted. After welding, the welded joint is heat treated by heating the impeller to 300-500°C, holding it for 2-4 hours, and then cooling it in the furnace to eliminate residual welding stress. This laser welding process makes the impeller weld more secure, thereby reducing the failure rate of the entire machine. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
