Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pump impeller structures, in particular to an adaptive variable working condition centrifugal pump impeller. Background Art

[0002] A centrifugal pump is a general-purpose machine that uses the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of an impeller to transport fluids (primarily liquids). It is widely used in industries such as industry, agriculture, municipal administration, and water conservancy, and is a core component of modern fluid transportation systems. Its operating principle and structural features enable it to efficiently and stably transport fluids from low-pressure areas to high-pressure areas, or to transport fluids over long distances.

[0003] When a centrifugal pump is working, the fluid flow rate changes with the working conditions. A fixed impeller is difficult to match the fluid motion state in different flow ranges. Frequent changes in working conditions lead to a significant drop in efficiency. It is difficult to adapt to various working conditions and cannot maintain efficient operation. Therefore, an adaptive variable working condition centrifugal pump impeller is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide an adaptive variable-operating-condition centrifugal pump impeller to address the aforementioned background art problem, in which the fluid flow rate of a centrifugal pump changes with the operating conditions during operation, making it difficult for a fixed impeller to match the fluid motion state in different flow ranges. Frequent changes in operating conditions lead to a significant decrease in efficiency, making it difficult to adapt to a variety of operating conditions and maintaining efficient operation. To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an adaptive variable-operating-condition centrifugal pump impeller comprising a central shaft, a first blade, a second blade, a rotating block, and an arcuate ring; a first blade, one end of the first blade passing through the central axis, a connecting groove being provided on the side surface of the central axis, a section of the side surface of the first blade being in contact with the connecting groove, a first bearing being sleeved on the side surface of the first blade, one end of the first blade being fixedly connected to a rotating block, a notch being provided on one side of the rotating block, a connecting shaft being fixedly connected to an inner wall of the notch, and a connecting column 1 being passed through one end of the connecting shaft; The second blade has a side surface of the central shaft having a movable groove 1, the side surface of the second blade being slidably connected to the movable groove 1, one end of the second blade being connected to a rotating block, a notch, a connecting shaft and a connecting column 1 identical to those of the first blade, the side surface of the second blade being sleeved with a second bearing, the side surface of the second bearing being fixedly connected to a connecting column 3, the connecting column 3 being provided in multiple groups, and the side surface of the connecting column 3 being fixedly connected to an arc-shaped ring; One end of the connecting column one is fixedly connected to a third bearing, and one side of the third bearing is provided with a hydraulic rod that drives the third bearing to move up and down, and one side of the connecting column three is fixedly connected to a rotating plate, and one side of the rotating plate is provided with a motor that drives the rotating plate to rotate, and the side surface of the central axis is sleeved with a rear cover plate. This adaptive variable working condition centrifugal pump impeller increases or decreases the number of blades through fluid flow feedback control and coordinates the change of blade angles, so that the impeller can match the fluid motion state in different flow ranges, reducing the problem of a significant decrease in efficiency of traditional impellers due to frequent changes in working conditions, and can adapt to a variety of different working conditions and maintain efficient operation.

[0005] Further preferably, a sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the central shaft, the rotating plate is slidably connected to the sliding groove, and an arc groove is provided on one side of the rotating plate.

This adaptive variable operating condition centrifugal pump impeller facilitates the movement of the rotating plate and at the same time limits the connecting column 1 to prevent the connecting column 1 from moving too far, causing the first blade and the second blade to collide, resulting in damage to the device.

[0007] Further preferably, the inner wall of the central shaft is fixedly connected with a bearing plate, the motor is fixedly mounted on the bearing plate, and an output end of the motor is penetrated by a connecting block.

[0008] Further preferably, the side surface of the connecting block is fixedly connected to the third bearing, and the side surface of the third bearing is sleeved with a movable plate.

[0009] Further preferably, a second movable groove is opened on the inner wall of the central shaft, and the movable plate is movably connected to the second movable groove.

[0011] Further preferably, a connecting cover is fixedly installed on one side of the central axis, a connecting column 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting cover, and a connecting cylinder is clamped on the side surface of the connecting column 2. In this type of adaptive variable operating condition centrifugal pump impeller, the connecting column 2 is clamped with the connecting cylinder to limit the position of the first bearing, thereby reducing movement. At the same time, when the first blade rotates and changes its angle, the first bearing is prevented from rotating, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: In the present invention, the number of blades is increased or decreased through fluid flow feedback control to coordinately change the angle of the blades, so that the impeller can match the fluid movement state in different flow ranges, reducing the problem of a significant decrease in efficiency of traditional impellers caused by frequent changes in working conditions, and can adapt to a variety of different working conditions and maintain efficient operation.

[0013] In the present invention, the second connecting column is clamped with the connecting tube to limit the position of the first bearing, thereby reducing movement. At the same time, when the first blade rotates to change the angle, the first bearing is prevented from rotating, thereby improving the stability of the device. The arc groove facilitates the connection between the first connecting column and the second blade, so that it can move when the second blade moves, and facilitates the movement of the rotating plate. At the same time, the connection column is limited to prevent the connection column from moving too far, causing the first blade and the second blade to collide, resulting in damage to the device.

[0020] The use method and advantages of the present invention: When the self-adaptive variable working condition centrifugal pump impeller is used, the working process is as follows: like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when the centrifugal pump is working, the flow detection valve installed at the inlet and outlet of the centrifugal pump monitors the fluid flow.

At the same time, the angle of the blade can be changed according to the requirements of the working conditions. The device increases or decreases the number of blades through fluid flow feedback control and coordinates the change of the blade angle, so that the impeller can match the fluid movement state in different flow ranges, reducing the problem of a significant decrease in the efficiency of traditional impellers caused by frequent changes in working conditions, and can adapt to a variety of different working conditions and maintain efficient operation.
