[0079] The geometric parameters of the semi-spiral suction chamber are confirmed according to the design data of the semi-spiral suction chamber, including:

[0080] The basic design parameters of the semi-spiral suction chamber are extracted from the database, including performance parameters and structure reference parameters. The performance parameters include design flow, design head, rated speed and impeller inlet target flow velocity range; the structure reference parameters include impeller inlet diameter, impeller inlet center height, suction chamber outlet width and tongue starting position radius;

[0081] According to the extracted basic design parameters, the geometric parameters of the semi-spiral suction chamber cross section are defined, including cross section division and cross section area gradient design;

[0082] The cross section division is to calculate the number of cross sections with the center of the water suction chamber outlet as the reference point;

[0083] The cross section area gradient design is that the cross sections of the semi-spiral water suction chamber are divided into an a cross section with an angle θ of 0 and n other cross sections, and the cross section area gradually increases from Sa to Sn, where n is an integer, and the size of n depends on the included angle between each cross section. The calculation formula of the included angle is

[0084] The calculation formula of the cross section Sn is V im is the flow rate of the fluid entering the impeller, when n≥2, S n =KS n-1 wherein θ n is the angle of the cross section.

[0085] After the geometric parameters of the semi-spiral suction chamber cross section are defined, the geometric parameters are calibrated;

[0086] The calibration of the geometric parameters is to set the adjustment range of the tongue inclination angle α to 0°-60°, and set a group of test parameters every 10°, and the tongue inclination angle corresponds to the position of the water suction chamber outlet cross section, at the same time, the axial distance between the tongue tip and the impeller inlet meets the smooth transition requirements of the fluid;

[0087] After the calibration of the geometric parameters is completed, the impeller parameters are integrated, which is to match the water suction chamber outlet cross section size with the impeller inlet diameter and blade inlet installation angle, and then to confirm the number of blades of the double suction pump impeller, wherein the cross section distribution of the water suction chamber corresponds to the even number of blades;

[0088] After the integration of the impeller parameters is completed, the geometric parameters of the semi-spiral suction chamber are arranged, including cross section number, angle, area, tongue inclination angle, inlet diameter, axial length and impeller number;

[0089] After the arrangement is completed, the complete geometric parameters of the semi-spiral suction chamber are obtained.

[0090] Specifically, in the data accurate extraction link, the basic design parameters are extracted from the database, covering performance and structure benchmark parameters, realizing comprehensive data collection and accurate screening. Through the directional extraction of key data such as design flow and impeller inlet diameter, it is ensured that the geometric parameter confirmation is consistent with the actual engineering requirements from the source, avoiding design errors caused by data loss or deviation, and reflecting the core value of data-driven design. In the parameter definition and data correlation stage, the outlet center of the suction chamber is taken as the benchmark to divide the section, and the section area gradient is designed according to the scientific formula. Through data processing technology, the internal relationship between basic parameters is deeply excavated, and variables such as fluid velocity and section angle are integrated into the calculation formula, so that the definition of section geometric parameters is closely related to the principle of fluid dynamics. This parameter definition method based on data correlation can effectively optimize the flow path of fluid in the suction chamber, reduce energy loss, and improve equipment operation efficiency. In the parameter calibration and data optimization process, multiple test parameters are set for the lip angle, and the impeller parameters are integrated. Through systematic data calibration and analysis, the optimal configuration of the lip angle is found, while ensuring the accurate matching of the suction chamber and impeller parameters. Especially the correspondence between the suction chamber section distribution and the even multiple of the number of blades, based on data optimization processing to achieve the balance between structure and performance, and enhance the stability of equipment operation. Finally, through the systematic arrangement of the geometric parameters of the semi-spiral suction chamber, a complete and accurate data system is formed, which provides reliable data support for subsequent links such as three-dimensional modeling and simulation analysis, effectively reduces the risk of engineering design, and improves the design efficiency and quality.

[0091] According to the confirmed geometric parameters, the suction chamber three-dimensional model of the semi-spiral suction chamber is established, including:

[0092] According to the two-dimensional engineering drawings in the database, the two-dimensional engineering drawings are exported, and the coordinate origin in the two-dimensional engineering drawings is taken as the benchmark;

[0093] Then the reference coordinate system is established, which is a rectangular coordinate system with the impeller center axis as the Z-axis reference and the suction chamber outlet center as the coordinate origin, including X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis. At the same time, the impeller inlet installation plane position and the suction chamber inlet end face position are labeled;

[0094] On the X-axis and Y-axis reference surface, take Z-axis as the center, draw closed sketches according to the confirmed section area and shape, and on each angle reference surface, draw sketches according to the confirmed section area and recursive relationship;

[0095] Use the sweep tool to generate the main body of the semi-spiral flow channel with each section sketch as the cross-sectional contour and Z-axis as the center axis, and during the sweeping process, according to the confirmed axial length parameter, limit the extension range of the flow channel in the Z-axis direction;

[0096] After the sweep is completed, the tongue structure is constructed, wherein, first, the coordinates of the tongue tip are marked in the cross-sectional sketch according to the confirmed tongue starting position radius, and the tongue profile is extended along the inner wall of the half-spiral flow channel, in the three-dimensional modeling of the tongue, the inclination angle of the tongue is adjusted according to the confirmed inclination angle range, and the head of the tongue adopts a circular arc transition;

[0097] After the tongue structure is constructed, the impeller structure is matched, wherein, at the outlet end surface of the suction chamber, a circular profile is drawn according to the confirmed impeller inlet diameter, and is aligned with the center of the suction chamber outlet cross section, at the same time, a transition fillet is added between the suction chamber outlet and the impeller inlet;

[0098] After the impeller structure is matched, the three-dimensional model of the suction chamber is obtained.

[0099] Specifically, in the data accurate conversion link, taking the two-dimensional engineering drawing as the data basis, the drawing is exported and a reference coordinate system is established with the coordinate origin as the reference. This operation converts the planar data on the drawing into three-dimensional space data accurately through coordinate positioning and axis setting. The center axis of the impeller is taken as the Z axis, and the center of the suction chamber outlet is taken as the origin to construct a rectangular coordinate system, and key positions are labeled, providing an accurate spatial positioning framework for subsequent modeling, ensuring that the model can truly restore the actual structure of the suction chamber, effectively avoiding model distortion caused by data conversion deviation. In the process of flow channel modeling and data association, a half-spiral flow channel body is generated by drawing a sketch according to the cross-sectional area and shape, and using a sweep tool. Through in-depth analysis and processing of the cross-sectional area recursive relationship and axial length parameters, the flow channel shape and size strictly meet the design requirements. This way of deeply integrating data into modeling simulates the real flow path of the fluid in the suction chamber with the help of data processing technology, providing an intuitive basis for predicting the flow field state and optimizing the fluid dynamics performance, effectively reducing energy loss caused by unreasonable flow channel design. In terms of structure optimization and data application, the construction of the tongue and the impeller structure is closely optimized based on data. The tongue modeling is accurately constructed based on the starting position radius and inclination angle range, and the head adopts a circular arc transition. The impeller structure is ensured to smoothly connect with the suction chamber by accurately drawing a circular profile and adding a transition fillet. These operations are based on the fine processing of data, which not only meets the principles of fluid mechanics, but also enhances the structural strength and stability, greatly improving the equipment operation reliability and efficiency. The whole scheme runs through the modeling process through data processing, laying a solid foundation for subsequent simulation analysis and engineering application.

[0100] To solve the problem in the prior art that the three-dimensional model of the suction chamber is not effectively simulated, thereby failing to intuitively present the complex flow state inside the flow field, please refer to Figure 1 The embodiment provides the following technical scheme:

[0101] The established three-dimensional model of the suction chamber is meshed, including:

[0102] Confirm the fluid region in the suction chamber three-dimensional model first, and then confirm the grid type of the suction chamber three-dimensional model, including structured grid, unstructured grid and hybrid grid;

[0103] After the grid type is confirmed, the grid is divided according to the fluid region, and the basic framework of the spatial grid distribution is obtained;

[0104] At the same time, the local area of the grid is encrypted, and the local encryption includes setting the grid encryption area at the tip of the tongue, the cross-sectional area mutation, the encryption radius is 5-10mm, the grid size is reduced to 1 / 2-1 / 3 of the whole, the boundary layer grid is set along the wall surface, the grid layer is 3-5 layers, the first layer thickness is 10-50μm, and the growth rate is 1.2-1.5;

[0105] After encryption, the grid division of the suction chamber three-dimensional model is completed.

[0106] Specifically, in the data area accurate identification and grid rule link, the fluid region is first confirmed, and then the structured, unstructured or hybrid grid type is selected, which reflects the pertinence and systematicness of data processing. According to the characteristics of the fluid region, the grid type is selected, which can efficiently utilize the data processing resources and avoid the problems of calculation redundancy or insufficient precision caused by improper grid type. Through reasonable planning of grid type, a scientific data processing framework is built for subsequent grid division, which guarantees the fit degree of grid division and actual flow field characteristics. In the process of grid division and framework construction, the grid is divided according to the fluid region and the basic framework of spatial grid distribution is obtained, which is a deep integration and structured processing of data. This grid division method based on data characteristics can effectively capture the macro characteristics of fluid flow and provide reliable data basis for flow field simulation analysis, ensuring that the calculation results can truly reflect the flow state of fluid in the suction chamber. Grid local encryption and data optimization are the core highlights of this scheme. The grid encryption area is set at the tip of the tongue and the cross-sectional area mutation, and the boundary layer grid is constructed along the wall surface. Through the operation of reducing the grid size and increasing the grid layer, the fine processing of the key area data is realized. These areas often have complex fluid mechanics phenomena, such as turbulence and pressure mutation. The encrypted grid can capture the local data characteristics more accurately and greatly improve the calculation accuracy. At the same time, the encryption parameters are reasonably controlled to avoid the calculation burden caused by excessive encryption under the premise of ensuring the accuracy, and the balance between data processing efficiency and accuracy is realized, which provides high-quality data support for subsequent flow field analysis, performance evaluation and other based on grid division, effectively enhancing the reliability of semi-spiral suction chamber design optimization.

Mixed initialization processing and step-by-step iteration calculation, combined with real-time monitoring of the velocity and pressure values at key positions, realize dynamic optimization and deep processing of data. First, the first-order format is used to quickly reduce the residual error, and then the second-order format is switched to improve the calculation accuracy, balancing the calculation efficiency and accuracy; important variables such as flow and pressure loss are monitored in real time, and the iteration is continued until the residual error meets the standard, ensuring that the simulation result converges to the optimal solution.

[0129] Specifically, in the data comprehensive extraction and integration link, the scheme synchronously extracts multi-dimensional parameter data such as speed, pressure, and turbulent flow, and constructs a complete flow field data set. This data acquisition strategy avoids information omission and ensures that the analysis is based on comprehensive fluid dynamics data, laying a foundation for subsequent in-depth research. By integrating different types of data, the flow field characteristics can be cross-verified from multiple perspectives, enhancing the reliability of the analysis results.
