This avoids the abrupt changes in inflection points and curvature discontinuities caused by traditional geometric splicing methods, enabling controlled geometric adjustment of the short blade in the middle section. It also allows for curvature control of the pressure and suction surfaces in the rear section of the short blade in localized areas, thereby improving the fluid rotation angle and velocity field distribution within the flow channel, enhancing the flow stability of the blade channel, and significantly optimizing the hydrodynamic performance and operating efficiency of the pump.

[0028] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0029] The following is for reference. Figure 1-Figure 3 This invention describes a method for designing long and short split-flow blade impellers based on S-shaped short blades according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] The long and short split-blade impeller includes a hub, multiple long blades, and multiple short blades, with the long and short blades arranged alternately along the circumference of the hub. As mentioned in the background section, due to the profile of existing short blades, the local pressure gradient within the short blade channel is often large, easily inducing unfavorable flow phenomena such as wake vortices, thus affecting the overall energy transfer efficiency. Furthermore, existing short blades typically maintain a fixed backward-curved structure, and their profile changes relatively uniformly along the radial direction, making it difficult to effectively control the flow while ensuring a stable outlet flow direction.

[0031] To improve pressure distribution within the short-blade channel, this invention proposes a design method for a long-short split-flow impeller based on S-shaped short blades, enabling gentle and controllable adjustment of the short blade geometry in localized areas. The long-short split-flow impeller of this invention is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the short blade 100 has an S-shaped structure, comprising an inlet section 10, a middle section 20, and an outlet section 30. The shape of the middle section 20 is determined by a cubic Hermite basis function. One end of the middle section 20 smoothly transitions to the inlet section 10, and the other end of the middle section 20 smoothly transitions to the outlet section 30. The design outline of the short blade 100 is shown. C ( r The formula for calculating ) is:

[0032] In the formula, C 0( r () represents the original outline. H ( t ( r )) represents the Hermite curve. r a This is the starting radial position of the middle section 20. r b This is the starting radial position of the exit section 30. rc This refers to the radial position of the end point of the exit section 30. t ( r () is a radial parameter mapping function used to map physical radial coordinates. r Normalize to the dimensionless interval [0,1]. t ( r The formula for ) is:

[0033] R ( i ) is a rotation matrix. The formula is:

[0034] R ( i ) C 0( r The original outline rotates around the impeller axis O. i The contour line obtained after angling.

[0035] The actual profile of the short blade 100 C ( r ) by its original outline C 0( r Hermite curve H ( t ( r and rotation matrix R ( i They are generated together.

[0036] The design method for long and short split-flow impellers based on S-shaped short blades specifically includes the following steps: S1. Determine the first design profile of the short blade inlet section 10 and the second design profile of the short blade outlet section 30. The shape of the inlet section 10 of the short blade 100 directly affects the initial conditions of the fluid entering the blade channel, such as velocity, angle, and pressure distribution. A reasonable first design profile can reduce flow separation, reduce turbulence, and ensure that the fluid impacts the blade at the optimal angle, thereby improving efficiency and reducing energy loss. The outlet section 30 of the short blade 100 ensures that the fluid leaves the blade smoothly. A reasonable second design profile can control the fluid discharge direction, reduce wake loss, and maintain the stability of the downstream flow field by optimizing the outlet angle and profile. In the short blade 100 design method of the present invention, step S1 first determines the first design profile of the inlet section 10 of the short blade 100 and the second design profile of the outlet section 30 of the short blade 100. This can establish a design basis for the design process of the intermediate section 20 of the short blade 100 and control the design of the overall profile of the short blade 100.

[0037] According to some embodiments of the present invention, determining a first design profile and a second design profile includes: S1.1 Obtain the original profile of the short blade 100, the original profile including the first original profile of the inlet section 10 and the second original profile of the outlet section 30; S1.2 The first original contour is used as the first design contour; S1.3 Rotate the second original profile around the axis O of the hub 300 by a preset angle. i Then, the second design outline is obtained.

[0038] As described in the background section, the existing short blades 100 employ a single radial variation design for their profiles, maintaining a fixed backward curve structure, making it difficult to effectively control the flow while ensuring a stable outlet flow direction. To address this technical limitation, this embodiment retains the original profile of the inlet section 10 as the first design profile based on the original short blade 100 profile, and adjusts the original profile of the outlet section 30 by rotation and displacement to form the second design profile.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the design method of long and short split-flow blade impeller based on S-shaped short blades further includes: determining the target load distribution law of the long blade 200 according to the design conditions and performance targets of the long and short split-flow blade impeller; and determining the profile of the long blade 200 according to the target load distribution law.

[0040] Further, according to some embodiments of the present invention, obtaining the original profile of the short blade 100 includes: determining the radial distribution range of the short blade 100 in the long and short splitter blade impeller; obtaining the profile features of the long blade 200 in the radial distribution range; and using the profile features of the long blade 200 in the radial distribution range as the original profile features of the short blade 100 to obtain the original profile of the short blade 100.

[0041] Specifically, obtaining the original outline of the short blade 100 includes: obtaining the outline features of the long blade 200, wherein the outline features include blade shape features and leading edge features, the blade shape features include the distribution of the mid-curve, thickness distribution, and the variation law of the installation angle, etc., and the leading edge features include the leading edge rounding radius and the leading edge rounding form, etc.; selecting the long blade 200 at 0.8 R ~ R The leaf shape features within the radial interval are used as the original outline leaf shape features of the short leaf 100; among them, R The impeller outlet radius is used; the leading edge feature of the long blade 200 is selected as the original profile leading edge feature of the short blade 100; based on the original profile airfoil feature and the original profile leading edge feature of the short blade 100, the original profile of the short blade 100 is generated. When designing the short blade 100, the outlet radius of the long and short split impeller blades is used first.R As a geometric reference, the short blade 100 is arranged at 0.8. R~R Within the radial interval, the radial position of the end point of the outlet section 30 r c That is, the radius is R The radial position of the short blade 100, its spanwise length, and its radial position are all strictly controlled; to ensure the geometric continuity of the impeller passage and the consistency of flow characteristics, the short blade 100 is positioned at 0.8... R The blade is geometrically aligned with the long blade at 200mm, and its leaf shape parameter is 0.8. R~R The blade profile parameters of the section corresponding to the long blade 200 within the interval are completely consistent, including the distribution of arc lines, thickness distribution, and installation angle variation patterns within the blade. Furthermore, the leading edge (head) of the short blade 100 adopts the same rounding radius and rounding form as the long blade 200 to avoid flow separation or additional losses caused by local geometric abrupt changes. By determining the geometry of the short blade 100 in the above manner, the consistency of the exit passage structure can be maintained while introducing the regulating effect of the long and short blade combination on flow and vibration characteristics.

[0042] In some embodiments, step S1.3 specifically includes: rotating the second original profile around the impeller axis O along the impeller rotation direction by an angle. i .like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the second original contour is rotated by an angle around the impeller axis O along the impeller rotation direction. i Without changing the tilt direction of the outlet section 30, an S-shaped section can be formed in the middle of the short blade 100 to obtain the middle section 20, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the pressure gradient distribution.

[0043] S2. Based on the endpoint coordinates and endpoint tangent vector of the first design profile and the starting coordinates and starting tangent vector of the second design profile, the third design profile of the middle section 20 of the short blade 100 is constructed using Hermite curves.

[0044] It is important to note that the Hermite curve is the contour line of the middle section 20 of the short blade 100. The end point of the contour line of the inlet section 10 of the short blade 100 is the starting point of the Hermite curve, and the starting point of the contour line of the outlet section 30 of the short blade 100 is the ending point of the Hermite curve. Constructing the middle section 20 of the short blade 100 using the Hermite curve ensures that the overall contour of the short blade 100 maintains coordinate continuity (positional continuity) and tangential vector continuity at the connection between the inlet section 10 and the middle section 20, achieving a smooth transition connection; and maintains coordinate continuity and tangential vector continuity at the connection between the middle section 20 and the outlet section 30, achieving a smooth transition connection. This ensures that the short blade 100 as a whole has a continuous, smooth, and curvature-controllable geometric contour, thereby improving the fluid rotation angle and velocity field distribution within the flow channel and enhancing the flow stability of the blade channel.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the present invention, determining a first design profile of the inlet section 10 of the short blade 100 and a second design profile of the outlet section 30 of the short blade 100, and constructing a third design profile of the intermediate section 20 of the short blade 100 based on the first and second design profiles using Hermite curves, includes: determining a first suction surface profile and a first pressure surface profile of the inlet section 10 of the short blade 100, the first suction surface profile and the first pressure surface profile constituting the first design profile; determining a second suction surface profile and a second pressure surface profile of the outlet section 30 of the short blade 100, the second suction surface profile and the second pressure surface profile constituting the second design profile; constructing a third suction surface profile of the intermediate section 20 of the short blade 100 based on the first suction surface profile and the second suction surface profile using Hermite curves; constructing a third pressure surface profile of the intermediate section 20 of the short blade 100 based on the first pressure surface profile and the second pressure surface profile using Hermite curves; the third suction surface profile and the third pressure surface profile constitute the third design profile. In this embodiment, the suction surface 101 and the pressure surface 102 are designed independently to obtain the complete design outline of the short blade 100.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the Hermite curve formula for the middle section 20 of the short blade 100 is as follows:

[0047] In the formula, H PS ( t ( r The third pressure surface profile of the short blade 100 is represented by a cubic Hermite form. H SS ( t ( r)) is the cubic Hermite form of the third suction surface profile of the short blade 100; specifically, H PS ( t ( r )) H SS ( t ( r The calculation formula for )) is as follows:

[0048] In the formula, h 0( t ), h 1( t ), h 2( t ), h 3( t Let be a cubic Hermite basis function. The formula for a cubic Hermite basis function is:

[0049] C P0 ( r a () represents the starting coordinates of the third pressure surface profile; R ( i ) C P0 ( r b () represents the coordinates of the endpoint of the third pressure surface profile; C S0 ( r a () represents the starting coordinates of the third suction surface profile; R ( i ) C S0 ( r b () represents the coordinates of the endpoint of the third suction surface profile; M P0 ( r a () is an approximation of the starting tangent vector of the third pressure surface profile; R ( i ) M P0 ( r b ) is an approximation of the endpoint tangent vector of the third pressure surface profile; M S0 ( r aThe tangent vector of the starting point of the third suction surface profile is approximated. R ( i ) M S0 ( r b ) is an approximation of the endpoint tangent vector of the third suction surface profile; where,

[0050]

[0051]

[0052]

[0053] In the formula, d 11 , d 21 , d 12 , d 22 Each increment represents a small parameter increment along the direction of the corresponding contour curve parameter, used for a first-order difference approximation of the tangential direction of the contour curve at the start or end point. In the specific implementation, the parameter increment corresponds to the adjacent step size between discrete sampling points of the contour line, and its positive or negative direction is determined by the calculation position of the tangent vector. When the contour line is represented by a series of discrete coordinate points, the above difference operation is equivalent to the vector difference between adjacent coordinate points.

[0054] The design method for long and short split-flow impellers based on S-shaped short blades also includes the following steps: S3. Based on the first design profile, the second design profile, and the third design profile, generate the complete design profile of the short blade 100.

[0055] Since the two endpoints of the Hermite curve coincide with the contour endpoints of the inlet section 10 and the outlet section 30 of the short blade 100 respectively and have continuous tangent vectors, the Hermite curve obtained through the above steps can be smoothly connected with the design contour lines of the inlet section 10 and the outlet section 30 of the short blade 100, and the complete design contour of the short blade 100 is obtained after the connection.

[0056] Secondly, the present invention proposes a water pump, including an impeller, which is obtained by adopting the above-mentioned design method of long and short split-flow blade impeller based on S-shaped short blades.

[0057] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, Figure 2The outline of the short blade 100 is obtained by the design method of long and short split impeller based on S-shaped short blades. The short blade 100 includes an inlet section 10, a middle section 20 and an outlet section 30. The outlet section 30 is rotated slightly relative to the original outlet section. The shape of the middle section 20 is determined by a cubic Hermite basis function. One end of the middle section 20 is smoothly connected to the inlet section 10, and the other end of the middle section 20 is smoothly connected to the outlet section 30.

[0058] Figure 1 The present invention relates to a long-short flow splitting impeller design method based on S-shaped short blades. The impeller comprises a hub 300 and multiple long blades 200 and multiple S-shaped short blades 100 disposed on the hub 300. The long blades 200 and short blades 100 are arranged alternately along the circumference in a repeating pattern of "long blade-short blade-long blade" on the hub 300. The long-short flow splitting impeller proposed in this invention, and the water pump based on it, can effectively weaken the unfavorable vortex structure within the blade channel and improve the overall efficiency of the water pump.

[0059] This invention, through the combination of the inlet section 10, the intermediate section 20, and the outlet section 30, designs the overall profile of the short blade 100 as S-shaped, possessing continuous, smooth, and controllable curvature geometry throughout the design range. This improves the fluid rotation angle and velocity field distribution within the flow channel, enhancing the flow stability of the blade channel. The S-shaped profile effectively mitigates the pressure gradient near the pressure surface 102 and suction surface 101 of the short blade 100, reducing secondary flow and local separation tendencies. Consequently, it enhances the overall hydraulic performance and efficiency of the pump, achieving effective control over fluid flow. Therefore, this invention solves the problems of large local pressure gradients in existing short blade channels, which easily induce unfavorable flow phenomena such as wake vortices, thus affecting overall energy transfer efficiency, and the difficulty of effectively controlling flow while ensuring stable outlet flow direction in existing short blades.
