Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to a wear-resistant and erosion-resistant pump body and a method of using the same, which belong to the category of flow-through components of high-speed centrifugal pumps. A vertical high-speed centrifugal pump equipped with the wear-resistant and erosion-resistant pump body of the present invention is particularly suitable for conveying fluids containing solid particles. Background Art
[0002] Vertical high-speed centrifugal pumps are driven by ordinary motors through gear speed increasers (or directly by high-speed motors). The impeller is installed at one end of the pump cantilever shaft. The pump cantilever shaft is perpendicular to the pump foot installation plane. The impeller speed is usually greater than 5000rpm. It is particularly suitable for low specific speed conditions with small flow and high head. It is widely used in petroleum, chemical, environmental protection, electric power, steel and other industries.
[0003] Vertical high-speed centrifugal pumps generate work through the rotation of their impellers, increasing the velocity of the working fluid. The stationary pump body then converts this velocity energy into pressure energy, resulting in a higher outlet pressure. When high-velocity, particulate-laden fluids flow through the pump's fluid channels, they can easily cause erosion and wear, impacting the pump's hydraulic performance and operational stability.

[0026] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments disclosed in this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] The embodiment of the present application discloses a wear-resistant and erosion-resistant pump body, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the wear-resistant and erosion-resistant pump body includes a pump body 1, and the pump body 1 is provided with a bushing 2, a static sealing element 3, a gland 4 and a bolt connection 5. The static sealing element 3 includes a first sealing ring and a second sealing ring.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pump body 1 is provided with a fluid inlet channel along its axis and a fluid outlet channel tangential to the inner wall of the fluid inlet channel. The fluid outlet channel comprises an inlet section, a mounting hole, and a fixed section, which are sequentially connected. The inlet section is connected to the fluid outlet channel, and its axis is perpendicular to the axis of the fluid outlet channel. The inlet section is a cylindrical hole with the same inner diameter in each section, which facilitates machining and reduces pressure loss. The inner wall of the inlet section is sprayed with a wear-resistant material using laser cladding. The mounting hole comprises a conical section and a cylindrical section. The small diameter end of the conical section is connected to the end of the inlet section, and the diameter of the small diameter end of the conical section is larger than the diameter of the inlet section, forming a mounting step between the conical section and the inlet section. The cylindrical section is connected to the large diameter end of the conical section, and the diameter of the cylindrical section is larger than the diameter of the large diameter end of the conical section, forming a step surface between the conical section and the cylindrical section. The mounting hole is used to install the bushing 2, so that the inner cavity of the bushing 2 forms a fluid outlet channel with the inlet section and the fixed section. The diameter of the fixed section is larger than the diameter of the cylindrical section.
[0029] The bushing 2 consists of a conical portion and a cylindrical portion. One end of the cylindrical portion is provided with a shoulder, which is coaxially connected to the larger diameter end of the conical portion. The outer diameter of the cylindrical portion is larger than that of the larger diameter end of the conical portion, and the shoulder mates with the stepped surface. The pump body 1 is provided with a first sealing groove at the stepped surface location. This first sealing groove is used to accommodate a first sealing ring, which abuts against the shoulder to seal between the pump body 1 and the bushing 2. The diameter of the inlet section is equal to the inner diameter of the smaller diameter end of the cylindrical portion.
[0030] The inner diameter of the gland 4 is equal to the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion, and the outer diameter of the gland 4 is larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion. The gland 4 is installed in the fixed section. The gland 4 is machined with a second sealing groove for installing a second sealing ring and a through hole for installing a bolt connector 5. The pump body 1 is machined with a threaded hole for installing the bolt connector 5. The bolt connector 5 passes through the through hole of the gland 4 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the pump body 1. The second sealing groove is directly opposite the end of the cylindrical portion; the second sealing ring is installed in the second sealing groove and pressed against the cylindrical portion to seal the gland 4 and the cylindrical portion.
[0031] The bushing 2 is made of wear-resistant material, fitted into the mounting hole of the pump body 1, and secured by a gland 4 and bolt connector 5. The bushing 2 and the inlet section of the pump body 1 form a fluid channel, which is generally conical.
[0032] The wear-resistant material of the bushing 2 is generally a wear-resistant and erosion-resistant ceramic material such as silicon carbide or boron carbide.
[0033] The bushing 2 is fitted in a hole machined on the pump body 1 . The fitting hole machined on the pump body 1 may be conical or cylindrical.
[0034] The pump body 1 is processed with threaded holes for the bolt connectors 5, and the threaded holes are evenly distributed. The bushing 2 is fixed to the pump body 1 through the gland 4 and the bolt connector 5, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly and easy for replacement.
[0035] Fluid channels are machined on the bushing 2 and the pump body 1 , and the fluid channels have a smooth transition and are generally conical.
[0036] The static sealing element 3 can be an O-ring or a sealing gasket. The material selection of the static sealing element 3 depends on the corrosive characteristics of the conveyed fluid and plays a sealing role.
[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, a wear-resistant and erosion-resistant pump body and a method of using the same are provided. The flow passage portion of a vertical high-speed centrifugal pump adopts the wear-resistant and erosion-resistant pump body provided by the present invention. Specifically, the vertical high-speed centrifugal pump includes a pump casing 7, a sealing body 11, a pump body 1, an impeller 8, an inducer 9 and a pump cantilever shaft 10. The pump casing 7 is provided with an assembly groove, and the pump body 1 is installed in the assembly groove so that the pump body 1 is installed in the pump casing 7 of the vertical high-speed centrifugal pump; the pump casing 7 is provided with an inlet and an outlet, the inlet is connected to the fluid inlet channel of the pump body 1, and the outlet is connected to the fluid outlet channel of the pump body 1, the sealing body 11 is provided on the side of the pump body 1 away from the bottom of the assembly groove, and the sealing body 11 is connected to the pump casing 7; the pump cantilever shaft 10 passes through the center position of the sealing body 11. A driving component is installed on the side of the sealing body 11 facing away from the pump casing 7. The driving component is a gear speed increaser or a high-speed motor. The driving shaft of the driving component is connected to the pump cantilever shaft 10. The impeller 8 and the inducer 9 are installed on the pump cantilever shaft 10. The impeller 8 and the inducer 9 are placed in the pump body 1.
[0038] When the vertical high-speed centrifugal pump is operating, the pump cantilever shaft 10 drives the impeller 8 and inducer 9 to rotate, drawing fluid in from the pump casing 7 inlet. The fluid is then pumped through the inducer 9 and impeller 8, where its pressure and velocity are increased. As the high-speed fluid passes through the fluid outlet channel of the pump body 1, its velocity gradually decreases and its pressure gradually increases, allowing the pressurized fluid to continuously flow out of the pump casing 7 outlet, achieving fluid delivery.
