Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of mechanical equipment, in particular to a mixed flow pump guide. Background Art

[0002] The working principle of the mixed flow pump is that the rotation of the impeller generates the combined effect of centrifugal force and thrust, which sucks the liquid into the pump body and obtains kinetic energy through the rotation of the impeller, which is then converted into pressure energy and finally discharged from the pump body. After the liquid flows out of the impeller, it has forward axial motion and swirling motion, so the flow of the liquid after passing through the impeller is a spiral forward motion. When the liquid swirls, friction loss will consume this part of the energy of the swirling motion. In order to convert the kinetic energy of the liquid's swirling motion into pressure energy, a guide wheel is installed in front of the impeller water outlet.

[0003] At present, in the prior art, the guide of the mixed flow pump is basically cast in one piece of stainless steel. Stainless steel casting requires molding with a mold first, and cooling after casting. It also needs to be aged for a period of time and then the assembly stoppers at both ends are machined, and the screw holes for drilling and tapping are used for fastening. During processing, a tooling fixture is also required to clamp the parts. Due to the uneven wall thickness of the parts and changes in the production environment conditions, there are risks of various casting defects in the casting production process. The production process from casting to processing has a long production cycle and low production efficiency.

[0004] And because the guide vanes in the guide parts of the mixed flow pump are bent, there is a certain proportion of casting defects in the stainless steel casting guide vanes, which need to be repaired or even scrapped. There are also guide parts assembled and welded with stainless steel stamping parts, but due to the distortion of the internal space of the guide parts, the blades on the guide parts will be modified to a certain extent, resulting in a reduction in the water flow pressure at the outlet, affecting the performance of the product; at the same time, the welding position space is small, and welding often cannot be carried out continuously, and needs to be carried out in sections, which affects the quality of the product. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a mixed flow pump guide. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: how to shorten the production cycle of the mixed flow pump guide, facilitate installation, and improve production efficiency and product quality.

[0006] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: a mixed flow pump guide, including an outer shell and a guide wheel arranged in the outer shell, the outer shell is stamped and formed by a stainless steel pipe, the guide wheel is integrally formed by plastic, the guide wheel includes a volute, a plurality of guide blades and a hub connected in sequence from the outside to the inside, the upper part of the volute has an outwardly protruding circular ring mounting portion 1, and the lower part has a circular ring mounting portion 2 with a diameter equivalent to the outer circumferential surface of the circular ring mounting portion 1, the volute also has a curved portion that smoothly connects the circular ring mounting portion 1 and the circular ring mounting portion 2, the outer circumferential surface diameters of the curved portion are smaller than the outer circumferential surface diameters of the circular ring mounting portion 1 and the circular ring mounting portion 2, and the outer circumferential surfaces of the circular ring mounting portion 1 and the circular ring mounting portion 2 are interference fit with the inner circumferential surface of the outer shell.

[0007] The mixed flow pump guide is formed by the interference fit installation of the shell formed by stamping of stainless steel pipe material and the guide wheel formed by plastic injection molding, which reduces the casting process, shortens the production cycle and improves the production efficiency; the outer circumference of the ring mounting part one and the ring mounting part two is interference fit with the inner circumference of the shell, and the ring mounting part one and the ring mounting part two are smoothly connected by the curved part, and the curved part is curved with a gap between the inner wall of the shell. This is set up because the guide wheel and the shell are interference fit, the guide wheel has a certain height, and the setting of the middle gap is conducive to installing the guide wheel into the shell, which is convenient for installation; in order to ensure that the guide wheel of the plastic part can maintain long-term use without environmental stress cracking, fatigue and other failures, the stainless steel shell is interference pressed on the outside of the plastic guide wheel to make them rigidly supported, avoid the plastic guide from being under pressure, and improve product quality.

[0008] Furthermore, the curved surface portion has a narrow channel and a wide channel with smooth transitions to each other, the hub-connected guide blades are arranged in the narrow channel, and an impeller is installed in the wide channel, and the impeller is coaxially arranged with the hub.

[0009] This solution draws in external fluid through the impeller. The wide-mouth channel where the impeller is installed is relatively large, which is conducive to increasing the amount of water sucked in. Above the impeller is a flow channel composed of guide blades. The guide blades are arranged in the narrow-mouth channel. The fluid sucked in by the impeller is transported from the large space to the small space of the guide blades, which reduces the flow velocity of the fluid, increases the pressure of the fluid, ensures the efficient operation of the water pump, and improves the product quality.

[0010] Furthermore, the hub is in a hollow cone shape, the guide blades are arranged evenly in a spiral shape on the outer side of the hub, and the other end is connected to the volute, and a water passage is formed between each two adjacent guide blades. The inlet angle of the guide blades arranged evenly in a spiral shape is consistent with the flow direction of the impeller outlet fluid, avoiding energy loss caused by impact.

[0011] Furthermore, the shell includes a cylindrical portion and a circular ring plate disposed at the upper end of the cylindrical portion and protruding inward, the circular ring plate has a plurality of through holes evenly distributed in the circumference, and the circular ring mounting portion has an injection molded insert one evenly distributed in the circumference, and the injection molded insert one corresponds to the through holes one by one. The guide parts of the stainless steel castings need to be machined and drilled and tapped, and the requirements for tools and drill bits are also very high, and there is a certain amount of use loss, which invisibly increases the processing cost, while the outer dimensional accuracy of the shell formed by stamping can be achieved without processing, and injection molded copper inserts are used, and there is no need to drill and tap on the guide parts. When the guide wheel is injected, the temperature, pressure and other process conditions are adjusted, and the guide wheel will not be short of material, which facilitates processing and production while reducing costs; the upper end face of the circular ring plate abuts against the lower end face of the water outlet node, so that the stainless steel shell bears the pressure of connecting the water outlet node and protects the plastic guide wheel.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper end surface of the injection molded insert 1 is higher than the upper end surface of the circular ring mounting portion 1, and the upper end surface of the injection molded insert 1 abuts against the lower end surface of the circular ring plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the annular mounting portion is evenly distributed with a plurality of injection-molded inserts 2 in the circumferential direction, a cover plate is provided below the cylindrical portion, the cover plate has a mounting platform protruding outward, the bottom surface of the cylindrical portion abuts against the upper end surface of the mounting platform, the lower portion of the impeller extends into the cover plate, the impeller rotates relative to the cover plate, and the cover plate has mounting holes corresponding one to one with the injection-molded inserts 2.

[0014] The guide parts of stainless steel castings need to be turned and drilled, and the requirements for tools and drill bits are also very high. There is a certain amount of wear and tear, which invisibly increases the processing cost. The outer dimensional accuracy of the stamped shell can be achieved without processing, and the injection molded copper inserts are used, and there is no need to drill and tap on the guide parts, which facilitates processing and production while also reducing costs; the bottom surface of the cylindrical part rests on the upper surface of the mounting table, so that the stainless steel shell bears the pressure of the connecting cover plate and protects the plastic guide wheel; the lower part of the impeller extends into the cover plate, and there is a through hole in the middle of the cover plate for the lower part of the impeller to extend into, and water flows in from this through hole.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects of the utility model are as follows: 1. The mixed flow pump guide is formed by the interference fit installation of the shell formed by stamping of stainless steel pipe material and the guide wheel formed by plastic injection molding, which reduces the casting procedure, shortens the production cycle, and improves production efficiency; there is a gap between the curved surface portion and the inner wall of the shell, which is conducive to installing the guide wheel into the shell and facilitates installation; the stainless steel shell is interference-pressed on the outside of the plastic guide wheel to make them rigidly supported, avoids the plastic guide from being subjected to pressure, and improves product quality.

[0016] 2. The fluid sucked in by the impeller is transported from the large space to the small space of the guide vanes, which reduces the flow velocity of the fluid and increases the pressure of the fluid, ensuring the efficient operation of the pump and improving product quality.

[0017] 3. The outer dimensions of the stamped shell are accurate enough to avoid machining. The copper inserts are molded without drilling or tapping the guides.
