Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of centrifugal pumps, in particular to a space-twisted impeller. Background Technique
[0002] As a type of centrifugal pump, canned motor pumps play a crucial role in national economic life. The impeller is the core power component of a centrifugal pump. The impeller blades do work on the medium transported in the inter-blade flow passage, throwing the medium out along the working surface of the blades, enabling the medium to obtain kinetic energy and potential energy, thereby achieving the purpose of transporting the medium. The geometric parameters, geometric shape, and size of the impeller directly determine the working efficiency of the centrifugal pump. There are various classification methods for impellers. Classified by the cover form of the impeller: mainly divided into open impellers, semi-open impellers, and closed impellers; classified by the structural form of the impeller blades: mainly divided into space-twisted blade impellers and cylindrical blade impellers; classified by the impeller material and forming process: mainly including stainless steel stamping impellers, plastic injection-molded impellers, gray cast iron cast impellers, etc.
[0003] Currently, in the canned motor pump market, closed plastic injection-molded impellers are the most widely used. There are mainly two corresponding blade forms for this kind of impeller: cylindrical straight blades and space-twisted impellers. In the most recent existing technology, this kind of impeller mainly consists of three parts: the upper impeller cover 001, the blades 002, and the lower impeller cover 003, as Figure 1 shown. In the impeller axial view, the upper impeller cover profile line 005 is a Bessel curve or an arc curve, and the lower impeller cover profile line 007 consists of a section of Bessel curve and another section of line segment, as Figure 2 shown. In Figure 2 , 008 is the impeller inlet edge, 009 is the impeller axis, and the inter-blade flow passage of the impeller presents a gradually decreasing contraction shape from the blade inlet edge 004 to the blade outlet edge 006. From the perspective of the profile line, the extension lines of the upper cover profile line 005 and the lower cover profile line 007 will intersect at a certain place outside the impeller, and the included angle after intersection is less than 90°.
[0004] Under the conditions of the prior art, for the canned motor pump field, the advantages of the cylindrical straight blade impeller are that the manufacturing process is simple, the blade injection mold is easy to demold, the mold cost is relatively low, and the production efficiency is high; its disadvantages are that the blade inlet angle cannot well follow the change of the liquid flow angle of the medium flow, so there must be positive and negative incidence angles, resulting in large hydraulic losses in the blade inter-channel, and it is difficult to achieve a very high hydraulic efficiency, and it is not suitable for applications in some scenarios with high efficiency requirements. The advantage of the space-twisted blade impeller is that its blade inlet angle can follow the change of the liquid flow angle of the medium flow, so the blade presents a space-twisted shape. The blade inlet impact loss of this type of blade is small, the inter-blade flow is uniform, the hydraulic loss in the inter-blade channel is small, and the achievable efficiency is very high, and high-efficiency hydraulic performance can be achieved. However, its disadvantage is that the production processability is poor, the processing is difficult, especially under the existing domestic manufacturing process level, the injection mold of this impeller is complex, the demolding is difficult, the mold cost is high, and the production efficiency is low. Even in some cases, the mold opening of the high-efficiency scheme cannot be realized due to process problems. The advantages of the impellers of the above two structural forms cannot be taken into account at the same time, and only choices can be made; based on this, the present application proposes a space-twisted impeller.

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0022] Referring to the attached drawings of the specification Figure 3 , the present invention provides a space-twisted impeller, which includes an upper cover plate 1 of the impeller, a blade 2, and a lower cover plate 3 of the impeller. The upper cover plate 1 of the impeller is connected to the lower cover plate 3 of the impeller through the blade 2. The upper cover plate 1 of the impeller includes a front half part 4 far from the blade 2 and a rear half part 5 connected to the blade 2, which are integrally formed. The lower cover plate 3 of the impeller includes a connecting part 6 connected to the blade 2 and a middle part 7 located in the middle of the connecting part 6. As Figure 1 shown in the state, both the front half part 4 and the middle part 7 are in a vertical state. One end of the blade 2 adjacent to the central axis of the front half part 4 is the inlet end, and the end of the blade 2 far from the central axis of the front half part 4 is the outlet end. That is, the front half part 4 is the inlet end of the space-twisted impeller, and the side of the cavity formed by the rear half part 5 and the connecting part 6 far from the blade 2 is the outlet end of the space-twisted impeller. Along the fluid flow direction, the flow channel formed by the rear half part 5 and the connecting part 6 presents a gradually expanding form or a parallel state.
[0023] Through the above description, it can be seen that this impeller can achieve that the blade inlet angle can follow the change of the liquid flow angle of the medium by relying on the flow channel presenting a gradually expanding form or a parallel state, and can achieve high hydraulic performance and hydraulic efficiency. Therefore, there is no requirement for the shape of the blade 2 in the present application solution. The blade 2 can be a straight blade, which reduces the processing difficulty of this impeller and makes the space-twisted impeller have good die processability and simple mold release.
[0024] In the impeller axial plane diagram, as Figure 4As shown in the figure, the upper cover profile line of the upper cover plate 1 of the impeller includes line segment 005a and line segment 005b. Line segment 005a is parallel to the axis 009 of the rotating shaft of the space-twisted impeller; the lower cover profile line of the lower cover plate 3 of the impeller includes line segment 007a and line segment 007b. Line segment 007b is perpendicular to the axis 009 of the rotating shaft of the space-twisted impeller. Line segment 005a, line segment 005b, line segment 007a, and line segment 007b are all straight line segments.
[0025] Line segment 005a and line segment 005b intersect at point A, and line segment 007a and line segment 007b intersect at point B. The two endpoints of the blade inlet edge 004 of the space-twisted impeller do not exceed point A and point B respectively. The blade inlet edge 004 is located in a parallel or gradually expanding flow channel. The cavity between the blade outlet edge 006 and the blade inlet edge 004 of the space-twisted impeller is the inter-blade flow channel of the space-twisted impeller. And the inter-blade flow channel presents an expanding shape that gets larger from the blade inlet edge 004 to the blade outlet edge 006. Its lower limit value lies in that line segment 005a is parallel to line segment 007a.
[0026] From the above description, it can be seen that when this space-twisted impeller is in use, the blade inlet angle can change with the change of the liquid flow angle of the medium flow. The hydraulic loss of the inter-blade flow channel is small, and the achievable efficiency is very high. It can achieve high hydraulic performance and hydraulic efficiency, and improve the adaptability of this space-twisted impeller.
[0027] Figure 5 This is a comparison of the performance and efficiency of the impeller embodiment of the solution of this application with a conventional cylindrical impeller and a conventional space-twisted impeller. From the comparison results, it can be seen that the impeller of the solution of this application has good mold processability while also having excellent hydraulic performance and high hydraulic efficiency.
[0028] In summary: When this space-twisted impeller is in use, the blade inlet angle can change with the change of the liquid flow angle of the medium flow. The hydraulic loss of the inter-blade flow channel is small, and the achievable efficiency is very high. It can achieve high hydraulic performance and hydraulic efficiency, and improve the adaptability of this space-twisted impeller. Moreover, the setting of the upper cover plate 1 of the impeller and the lower cover plate 3 of the impeller makes this space-twisted impeller have mold processability and is easy to process and produce.
