[0047] After flowing out of the first-stage impeller 12 , the mainstream flows into the cavity formed by the positive guide vane 2 and the pump body 13 , then flows into the interior of the reverse guide vane 4 , then flows into the secondary impeller 10 and the secondary guide vane 9 , and finally flows out from the outlet of the pump body 13 .

[0048] A small amount of liquid medium flows through the front sealing ring 1, and then flows back into the inlet of the first-stage impeller 12 from the reflux hole of the first-stage impeller 12, forming a small cycle. Similarly, a small amount of liquid flowing out of the secondary impeller 10 leaks from the rear sealing ring 7 to the inlet of the secondary impeller 10, and the above process is repeated to achieve a circular flow.
