Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fluid machinery technology, specifically to a centrifugal pump, and more specifically to a high-pressure multistage centrifugal pump with a streamlined pump cover. Background Technology

[0002] In centrifugal pump design, particularly in core components such as impellers, blades, and pump covers, streamlined structures effectively enhance the pump's overall performance. For example, they reduce friction and impact losses within the flow channel, promoting smooth liquid flow and efficiently converting kinetic energy into static pressure energy. Secondly, they increase the inlet flow area, reduce inlet velocity, increase inlet pressure, and lower the required net positive suction head (NPSH). Thirdly, they optimize flow, avoiding vortices and flow separation, and reducing flow pulsation. Fourthly, they enable the pump to maintain high efficiency under various flow conditions, resulting in a wider high-efficiency range. In summary, streamlined structures, by optimizing the liquid flow path, are a core technological means for centrifugal pumps to achieve efficient, stable, and reliable operation. Although the initial manufacturing cost may be slightly higher, the long-term energy savings and reduced maintenance costs make centrifugal pumps with good streamlined designs a preferred choice in many industrial and application scenarios. Therefore, rationally optimizing the design of structures such as the pump cover of multi-stage centrifugal pumps, such as obtaining a high-pressure multi-stage centrifugal pump with a streamlined pump cover, to improve the overall efficiency of centrifugal pumps is particularly important.

[0003] Existing technology CN103161750A discloses a sand removal pump that improves the material formulation of the impeller and pump cover, as well as the blade profile of the impeller, thereby increasing the wear resistance of the pump cover and reducing the scouring effect of the medium exiting the impeller on the pump, thus increasing the service life of the pump. The improved material has a significantly increased hardness, which in turn increases the wear resistance of the parts. Tests show that the material properties of this invention are far superior to those of existing sand removal pumps, with HRC≥55 and HBW≥600. The shape of the flow channel and the blade shape are designed to reduce the impact of particles on the flow channel wall and blades, thereby reducing wear on the pump cover. The pump blades are optimized using two-phase flow theory to improve the trajectory of the pumped medium and reduce the collision and wear of the medium on the pump wall. In other words, the design of this invention effectively solves the problems of easy wear, low efficiency, and high energy consumption in existing sand removal pumps.

[0004] The aforementioned prior art relates to the application of centrifugal pumps. However, the above structure has design limitations, and in the actual application of centrifugal pumps, there are still problems such as low efficiency and energy consumption, high cavitation, unstable vibration and noise, and narrow high-efficiency operating range. Therefore, in order to address these problems, the inventors propose a high-pressure multistage centrifugal pump with a streamlined pump cover. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a high-pressure multistage centrifugal pump with a streamlined pump cover.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The impeller, intermediate baffle, outlet baffle, pressure ring, and sealing body are arranged in the middle of the pump shaft. The intermediate baffle connects multiple... The impeller is divided into multiple stages; the outlet baffle, the booster ring, and the outlet pump cover form a cavity; the feature is that: the inlet guide vane is installed on the inner inlet wall of the inlet pump cover, and there is a gap between it and the guide cone; the two opposite sides of the intermediate baffle are respectively provided with the first guide vane and the second guide vane; the booster ring is connected to the outlet side of the outlet baffle, and a gradually narrowing flow channel with multiple booster blades is formed between it and the outlet baffle; the inner inlet wall of the inlet pump cover is provided with a double-hump streamlined structure, and the inner wall of the outlet pump cover is provided with a composite streamlined structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the outline of the double-hump streamlined structure includes points A, B, C, D, E, F, and G arranged sequentially from the inlet side to the outlet side of the inlet pump cover. Among them, curves AB, CD, DE, EF, and GH are line segment structures, while curves BC and FG form the hump section, which is a curved curve.

[0009] Furthermore, the slopes of curves AB, CD, DE, EF, and GH are k1, k2, k3, k4, and k5, respectively, where k1 = k4 and k2 = k5.

[0010] Furthermore, 0 < k1 + k2 ≤ 2.

[0011] Furthermore, points B, C, F, and G are on the same straight line, so k3 = 0.

[0012] Furthermore, curves BC and FG are part of a hyperbola, and the minimum distance between curve BC and the pump shaft is H1, and the minimum distance between curve FG and the pump shaft is H2, where H1 > H2.

[0015] Furthermore, the outline of the composite streamlined structure includes points J, K, and L arranged sequentially from the radial inner side to the radial outer side of the outlet pump cover, where curve JK is a line segment structure and curve KL is a curved curve structure.

[0016] Furthermore, curve KL is part of the golden spiral.

[0017] Furthermore, curve JK is tangent to curve KL at point K.

[0018] Furthermore, the outlet baffle is provided with multiple rings of drainage holes with a gradually narrowing cross-section and evenly distributed in annular shape along the axial direction, wherein the diameter of the drainage holes in each ring is different.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0020] 1. In this invention, the outlet baffle, the booster ring, and the outlet pump cover form an oral cavity; the inlet guide vane is installed on the inlet inner wall of the inlet pump cover, spaced apart from the guide cone; the two opposite sides of the intermediate baffle are respectively provided with a first guide vane and a second guide vane; the booster ring is connected to the outlet side of the outlet baffle, and a gradually narrowing flow channel with multiple booster blades evenly distributed is formed between it and the outlet baffle; the inlet inner wall of the inlet pump cover is provided with a double-hump streamlined structure, and the inner wall of the outlet pump cover is provided with a composite streamlined structure; the optimization of the inlet pump cover, outlet pump cover, and outlet structure effectively improves efficiency and reduces energy consumption, improves cavitation performance, achieves stable operation and low vibration and noise, and widens the high-efficiency operating range.

[0022] 3. The contour lines of the composite streamlined structure in this invention include points J, K, and L, which are sequentially arranged from the radially inner side to the radially outer side of the outlet pump cover. Curve JK is a line segment structure, and curve KL is a curved curve structure. Curve KL is a part of the golden spiral. Curve JK and curve KL are tangent at point K. The above structure optimizes the outlet flow, avoids vortices and flow separation, reduces liquid flow pulses, improves operational reliability, extends the life of mechanical seals and bearings, and improves the working environment, thereby achieving stable operation and low vibration and noise.

[0023] 4. In this invention, the outlet baffle is provided with multiple rings of drainage holes with a gradually narrowing cross section and evenly distributed in annular shape. The diameter of the drainage holes in each ring is different, which is very beneficial for pumps whose flow rate may change in actual working conditions. This allows the pump to maintain a high frequency under different flow conditions, with a wider high-efficiency range and a broader high-efficiency operating range. Attached Figure Description
