Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of water conservancy projects, and more specifically relates to a water guiding and vortex eliminating structure suitable for small and medium-sized water pumps. Background Art

[0002] Considering the convenience and economy of underwater hydraulic structure construction, small and medium-sized pump stations mostly use a limited width inlet pool with a suction bell pipe for water pump installation. Small pump stations use an open wet rectangular inlet pool, and medium-sized pump stations mostly use a dry pump room structure with a pressurized rectangular inlet pool. When the inlet pool is not designed properly, vortex belts are easily generated, and the water in the center of the vortex is vaporized. One end of the vortex belt is located on the pool wall (or pool bottom), and the other end enters the suction bell mouth, generating periodic vibration and noise, affecting the performance and life of the water pump. Figure 2 The longitudinal section diagram of the vortex attached to the wall and the vortex attached to the bottom of the water inlet pool in the prior art is shown. In the installation of small and medium-sized water pumps, the water pump manufacturing unit is mostly relied on to weaken the influence of the water inlet flow state through the performance and stability of the water pump, rather than eliminating and improving it.

[0003] In the prior art, the rectangular structure of the water inlet pool is the most common form in the pump station. This form is often prone to vortexes at the corners and the back wall of the water pump. It is also easily affected by the flow pattern of the front pool, causing backflow in the pool. In order to improve the flow pattern, the water inlet pipe should be close to the back wall, but for vertical pumps, the pipe mouth is close to the back wall, which will cause difficulties in maintenance and installation. Article 10.3.3 of the current "Pump Station Design Standard" (GB 50265-2022) also only stipulates the requirements for the distance between the water inlet bell mouth and the building.

[0004] To this end, whether there is pressure or no pressure, good water inlet conditions must be provided for the water pump inlet to avoid turbulent flow on the back wall of the inlet pool, obvious deviation and vortex on one side. Therefore, it is necessary to design a water guide and vortex elimination structure suitable for small and medium-sized water pumps to ensure a better water inlet flow state and ensure safe and stable operation of the unit. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides a water guiding and vortex eliminating structure suitable for small and medium-sized water pumps, comprising:

[0017] Furthermore, the arc radius R1 of the first arc segment is 0.5B.

[0018] Furthermore, the center coordinates of the first arc segment are (0, 0), the center line of the guide cone is at a distance of L2 from the farthest end of the ω-shaped rear wall, and the center coordinates of the second arc segment are (x, y), x=(4×B×L2-B2-D3 2 ) / (4×(B-D3)), y=((L2-x)2-(0.5D3-x)2) 0.5 The radius of the second arc segment R2 = (B2 + D3 2 -4×D3×L2) / (4×(B-D3)).

[0019] Furthermore, the distance between the center line of the guide cone and the straight line segment is L1=0.5D3+0.1m.

[0020] Furthermore, the distance between the center line of the guide cone and the farthest end of the ω-shaped rear wall is L2=0.9D3.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following technical effects:

[0035] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3-5 Now, a water guiding and vortex eliminating structure suitable for small and medium-sized water pumps provided in an embodiment of the utility model is described.

[0036] In one embodiment of the utility model, a water-guiding and vortex-eliminating structure suitable for small and medium-sized water pumps of the utility model embodiment comprises a water inlet pool, a guide cone 3, a water suction bell pipe 2 and a vertical pump 1. The water inlet pool comprises a bottom plate 4, a side wall 5 and an ω-shaped rear wall 6, and the ω-shaped rear wall 6 is connected to the bottom plate 4 and the side wall 5; the guide cone 3 is arranged on the bottom plate 4 of the water inlet pool, and its bottom is connected to the bottom plate 4 of the water inlet pool, and its top elevation is flush with the elevation of the mouth of the water suction bell pipe 2, that is, the mouth of the water suction bell pipe 2 is flush with the top of the guide cone 3. The water inlet of the vertical pump 1 is connected to one end of the water suction bell pipe 2, that is, the vertical pump 1 absorbs water by connecting the water suction bell pipe 2, and the guide cone 3 is located directly below the center position of the water suction bell pipe 2. The center line of the guide cone 3 and the center line of the water suction bell pipe 2 coincide with the center line of the impeller of the vertical pump 1.

[0037] A water-guiding and vortex-eliminating structure suitable for small and medium-sized water pumps in an embodiment of the utility model reduces the emptying and backflow below the water suction bell tube 2 by setting a guide cone 3 flush with its pipe mouth below the water suction bell tube 2; and creates a certain maintenance and installation operation space by setting an ω-shaped rear wall 6 behind the water suction bell tube 2.

A water-guiding and vortex-eliminating structure suitable for small and medium-sized water pumps in an embodiment of the utility model can effectively improve the running stability of the water pump, improve the cavitation performance of the water pump, and reduce the running noise of the water pump. A water-guiding and vortex-eliminating structure suitable for small and medium-sized water pumps in an embodiment of the utility model is applied to the transformation of small and medium-sized pumping stations to solve the problem of improving the vortex belt in the open water inlet pool.

That is, the profile of the ω-shaped rear wall 6 has two saddle-shaped curved surfaces, connected by four arc segments and one straight line, and is mirror-symmetrical along the center line of the water inlet pool in the direction of water flow.

[0039] In this embodiment, the guide cone curved surface generatrix 11 is a 1 / 4 elliptical arc, the semi-major axis size is a, and the semi-minor axis size is b.

The semi-major axis size a=1.67D, the semi-minor axis size b=0.5(D3-D2). The radius R1 of the first arc segment 12 of the ω-shaped rear wall 6=0.5B; the radius R2 of the second arc segment 13 of the ω-shaped rear wall 6=(B2+D32 -4×D3×L2) / (4×(B-D3)), and x=(4×B×L2-B2-D3 2 ) / (4×(B-D3)), y=((L2-x)2-(0.5D3-x)2) 0.5 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the distance between the center line of the unit and the straight section 14 of the ω-shaped rear wall 6 is L1=0.5D3+0.1m, and the distance between the center line of the unit and the farthest end of the ω-shaped rear wall 6 is L2=0.9D3.
