Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of multi-stage centrifugal pumps, in particular to a small axial force multi-stage centrifugal pump. Background Art

[0002] There are many types of pumps, which can be divided into vane pumps, volumetric pumps and other types of pumps according to their working principles. Centrifugal pumps are a type of vane pump. Compared with single-stage centrifugal pumps, multi-stage centrifugal pumps have a wider range of uses and a larger market share.

[0003] The traditional multi-stage centrifugal pump is designed in a way that the impellers are arranged one by one. The pump will generate axial force during use. The balancing force is usually handled by a balancing disc or a balancing drum mechanism for balancing. However, since the balancing force cannot be completely eliminated, the balancing mechanism is mainly composed of a balancing drum and a balancing sleeve. The balancing mechanism will always wear during the use of the pump, which will lead to wear of other rotor parts, thereby affecting the normal service life of the pump. At the same time, since the parts of the balancing mechanism are wearing parts, they need to be replaced frequently, which increases the user's equipment maintenance costs. Secondly, the traditional self-balancing multi-stage centrifugal pump uses back-to-back impellers to offset each other's axial forces to achieve axial force balance, but no measures are taken to eliminate or reduce the axial force of the impellers in the same direction. As the pump wears out during use, the internal sealing gap increases, which increases the residual axial force and shortens the life of the pump.

[0004] Therefore, a small axial force multi-stage centrifugal pump is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The utility model includes a vertically arranged pump casing 6, a main shaft 1 extending to both sides is arranged inside the pump casing 6, a balancing drum 13 is arranged on the upper end of the main shaft 1, a balancing sleeve 14 with an outer curved surface connected to the pump casing 6 is sleeved on the balancing drum 13, a plurality of guide vanes 12 are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the pump casing 6, an impeller 4 is arranged at the upper and lower ends of the main shaft 1, the upper and lower impellers 4 are symmetrically arranged, the number of the lower impellers 4 is multiple and one-to-one corresponds to the multiple guide vanes 12 below and is positioned On its inner side, there are multiple impellers 4 above, which correspond one by one to the multiple guide vanes 12 above and are located on its inner side. A spacer 16 is provided at the middle end of the inner side of the pump casing 6. The lower end of the main shaft 1 passes through the bottom of the spacer 16. Two flange openings 10 are provided on the outer side of the pump casing 6 and are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the spacer 16.

Balance holes 5 are provided on the opposite sides of the upper and lower impellers 4.

[0021] In this embodiment, when the impeller 4 is working, the liquid pressure of the rear cover plate of the impeller 4 is large, and the liquid pressure of the suction port is small, and there is a pressure difference to generate an axial force, and the balancing hole 5 balances the pressure of the front and rear cover plates of the impeller, does not generate a pressure difference, and does not generate a large axial force, so that the axial force of a single impeller is basically balanced, and finally the axial force of the main shaft 1 and the impeller 4 is balanced, and the liquid can be transported from the lower end of the pump casing 6 to the upper end of the interior through the reversing flow channel 11, and multiple impellers 4 are arranged in a symmetrical manner in the pump casing 6, so that the impeller 4 is self-balanced in the axial direction, and the mechanical friction caused by the axial force during the operation of the pump is reduced, the trouble-free working time of the pump is extended, and the equipment maintenance cost of the user is reduced. Even if the sealing gap that affects the axial force increases after the pump has been used for a period of time, because there is a balancing hole 5, the balancing hole 5 balances the pressure of the front and rear cover plates of the impeller 4, does not generate a pressure difference, does not generate a large axial force, and does not generate a large axial force change due to leakage of high-pressure liquid, thereby extending the life of the pump and improving the reliability of the pump.

[0022] Preferably, as another embodiment of the present invention, the number of the balancing holes 5 is equal to the number of the impeller 4 blades, and the balancing holes 5 correspond one-to-one to the impeller 4 blades and are located at their starting points.

[0023] In this embodiment, the number of the balancing holes 5 and the impeller 4 blades is 5 to 7, so that the flow of the liquid in the impeller 4 is more uniform and stable, the turbulent loss of the fluid is reduced, and the efficiency and performance of the impeller 4 are improved. The balancing holes are provided at the beginning of each blade to ensure that the force on each blade is relatively balanced, which helps to reduce the uneven force on the impeller 4 and improve the stability and operating efficiency of the centrifugal pump. Therefore, in order to ensure the balance and stability of the impeller during operation, the balancing holes are provided at the beginning of each blade.

[0026] Preferably, as another embodiment of the utility model, a sealing sleeve 7 is sleeved on the main shaft 1, and the outer curved surface is connected to the inner side of the spacer block 16. The sealing sleeve 7 and the main shaft 1 are clearance-fitted. The sealing sleeve 7 serves to separate and seal the two sides to prevent liquid from leaking to one side from the gap between the spacer block 16 and the main shaft 1. A pump foot is provided on the outer side of the pump casing 6, and a mounting hole is opened on the pump foot. The pump foot can support the weight of the pump, and the mounting hole can cooperate with fasteners to install and fix the pump to maintain the stability of the pump casing 6, prevent the pump casing 6 from shaking or shifting during operation, and ensure the normal operation of the pump.

[0027] Working principle: The external motor is connected to the main shaft 1 and drives it to rotate, and the impeller 4 rotates. In this process, the liquid pressure of the rear cover of the impeller 4 is large, and the liquid pressure of the suction port is small. The pressure difference generates an axial force, and the suction port of the impeller 4 is connected with the rear cover of the impeller 4 through the balance hole 5. The balance hole 5 balances the pressure of the front and rear covers of the impeller, does not generate a pressure difference, does not generate a large axial force, and makes the axial force of a single impeller basically balanced. Finally, the axial force of the main shaft 1 and the impeller 4 is balanced. The liquid can be transported from the lower end of the pump casing 6 to the upper end of the interior through the reversing flow channel 11, and multiple impellers 4 are arranged in a symmetrical manner in the pump casing 6. The arrangement realizes the self-balancing of the impeller 4 in the axial direction, reduces the mechanical friction caused by the axial force during the operation of the pump, prolongs the trouble-free working time of the pump, and reduces the equipment maintenance cost of the user. Even if the sealing gap that affects the axial force increases after the pump has been used for a period of time, because of the balancing hole 5, the balancing hole 5 balances the pressure of the front and rear cover plates of the impeller 4, and does not generate a pressure difference, does not generate a large axial force, and does not generate a large axial force change due to the leakage of high-pressure liquid. The axial load on the bearing 9 will not increase, and the life and reliability of the pump will not be affected, thereby extending the life of the pump and improving the reliability of the pump.
