Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water pumps, in particular to a supporting guide frame for a water suction bell mouth of a vertical axial flow pump. Background Art
[0002] Vertical axial flow pumps are widely used in agricultural irrigation, drainage and other occasions due to their large flow, simple structure, stable operation and convenient maintenance. The working principle is to suck the liquid through the high-speed rotating impeller and discharge it axially to achieve water flow transportation.
[0003] As an important part of the vertical axial flow pump, the suction bell mouth is mainly used to guide water evenly to the impeller to ensure the efficient and stable operation of the water pump. However, since the suction bell mouth is suspended in the water inlet pool and is far away from the pump base, it is easily affected by the impact of water flow and the vibration of the unit itself during operation, resulting in vibration problems. This vibration will not only cause the connection parts between the suction bell mouth and the pump body to loosen or be damaged, but also affect the operation safety and stability of the entire unit. At the same time, when the vertical axial flow pump is running, the high-speed rotation of the impeller will cause the water flow near the suction bell mouth to pre-swirl before entering the impeller. This pre-swirl not only changes the ideal inflow state of the water flow entering the impeller, causing turbulence in the water flow in the pump, and then causing vibration and noise in the pump, but also the pre-swirl will form a vortex near the suction bell mouth, reducing the efficiency and operation stability of the water pump.

[0032] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0033] Example:
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides a support guide frame for a vertical axial flow pump water suction bell mouth, the support guide frame comprises: a bottom support 1, an arc-shaped guide plate 2, a retaining ring 3 and a guide cone 4;
[0035] The central axes of the bottom support 1, the arc-shaped guide plate 2, the retaining ring 3 and the guide cone 4 coincide with each other;
[0036] The guide cone 4 and a plurality of arc-shaped guide plates 2 are arranged on the bottom support 1;
[0037] The arc-shaped guide plates 2 are arranged in a circular array around the guide cone 4, the arc-shaped guide plates 2 are fitted and fixed to the guide cone 4, and the arc-shaped guide plates 2 and the guide cone 4 have the same height;
[0038] The retaining ring 3 is fixed on the top of the arc-shaped guide plate 2;
[0039] The water suction bell mouth 5 is placed on the arc-shaped guide plate 2 and is located inside the retaining ring 3 .
[0040] The support guide frame provides stable support for the water suction bell mouth 5 through the evenly arranged arc guide plates 2, thereby preventing the water suction bell mouth 5 from vibrating and improving the operating stability of the water pump; the design of the guide cone 4 and the arc guide plate 2 takes into account the principles of fluid dynamics, so that the water flow can enter the impeller evenly and smoothly, avoiding the pre-rotation phenomenon of the water flow near the water suction bell mouth 5 before entering the impeller, optimizing the inlet angle of the water flow entering the impeller, thereby improving the operating efficiency and stability of the water pump.
[0041] The height of the arc guide plate 2 and the guide cone 4 is h=(0.6-0.8)D;
[0042] Wherein D is the bottom diameter of the water suction bell mouth 5.
[0043] The height design of the arc guide plate 2 and the guide cone 4 is based on an in-depth study of the flow characteristics of the water flow at the water pump suction bell mouth 5. Within this height range, the arc guide plate and the guide cone can effectively guide the water flow and significantly suppress the generation of vortex and pre-swirl, thereby ensuring that the water flow enters the impeller in a more stable state and improving the operating efficiency of the water pump.
[0044] A rectangular coordinate system is established with the center of the bottom surface of the water suction bell mouth 5 as the origin, and the generatrix equation of the guide cone 4 is:
[0045]
[0046] Wherein, h is the height of the guide cone 4;
[0047] D is the bottom diameter of the water suction bell mouth 5.
[0048] The water guide cone 4 with a hyperbolic design can effectively adapt to the water flow distribution near the water suction bell mouth 5 and evenly guide the water flow to the impeller, thereby forming a stable flow field and reducing turbulence. This helps to reduce flow losses and improve the water suction efficiency of the pump.
[0049] At the same time, this shape of the water guide cone 4 and the arc-shaped guide plate 2 helps to reduce or eliminate vortices that may be generated near the water suction bell mouth 5, and suppress the pre-swirl effect caused by the high-speed rotation of the impeller, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of the water pump operation.
[0050] The inner diameter d of the retaining ring 3 is (1.05-1.08)D; the top of the retaining ring 3 is 100-300 mm higher than the top of the arc-shaped guide plate 2.
[0051] The inner diameter of the retaining ring 3 is slightly larger than the diameter of the water suction bell mouth 5, so that the retaining ring 3 does not contact the water suction bell mouth 5, reducing the vibration of the water pump and causing the retaining ring 3 and the water suction bell mouth 5 to collide and cause wear or damage, and leaving a certain inner diameter margin is also beneficial to the tolerance control in the manufacturing process, as well as the convenience during assembly and maintenance; the retaining ring 3 is designed to be higher than the arc guide plate 2, so that the bell mouth of the water pump can be firmly seated in the bracket. This design ensures that all water flows entering the water suction bell mouth 5 are rectified by the arc guide plate 2, thereby ensuring the stable flow state of the water flow and further improving the efficiency and performance of the water pump.
[0052] The number of the arc-shaped guide plates 2 is 5 to 7.
[0053] The arc-shaped guide plates 2 within this number range can reasonably disperse the water flow before entering the impeller, making the flow pattern more uniform and reducing the local high-speed or low-speed areas, thereby improving the water absorption performance and operation stability of the pump. Each arc-shaped guide plate 2 can play a role without interfering with each other, ensuring smooth water flow.
[0054] Moreover, the configuration of 5 to 7 arc-shaped guide plates 2 not only provides sufficient water flow control force, but also ensures the structural strength and rigidity of the overall support guide frame, which can effectively resist various dynamic loads that may be encountered during the operation of the pump and extend its service life.
[0055] The arc-shaped guide plate 2 is a streamlined symmetrical structure with a thick outer side and a thin inner side.
[0056] The design of the arc-shaped guide plate 2 being thick on the outside and thin on the inside makes the water flow more uniform when entering the impeller, and reduces the occurrence of eddy currents and turbulence, thereby improving the efficiency of the water pump. In addition, this design also provides sufficient structural strength to withstand water flow impact and unit vibration, and provides support for the bell mouth, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the pump.
[0057] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0058] 1.

[0061] 3. In the embodiment of the utility model, the inner diameter of the retaining ring is slightly larger than the diameter of the water suction bell mouth, so that the retaining ring does not contact the water suction bell mouth, reducing the vibration of the water pump causing the retaining ring and the water suction bell mouth to collide and cause wear or damage, and leaving a certain inner diameter margin is also beneficial to the tolerance control in the manufacturing process, as well as the convenience during assembly and maintenance; the retaining ring is designed to be higher than the arc guide plate, so that the bell mouth of the water pump can be firmly seated in the bracket.

In addition, this design also provides sufficient structural strength to withstand water flow impact and unit vibration, and provides support for the bell mouth, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the pump.
