Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water pump impellers, in particular to an impeller structure that can reduce backflow. Background Technique
[0002] A water pump is a machine that transports liquids or increases the pressure of liquids. It transmits the mechanical energy of the prime mover or other external energy to the liquid, increasing the energy of the liquid. It is mainly used to transport liquids including water, oil, acid-base solutions, emulsions, suspension emulsions, and liquid metals. For example, the water pump proposed in the prior art publication number CN2327812Y includes a pump body, a pump cover, an impeller, a shaft, a mechanical shaft seal, a shaft sleeve, inlet and outlet ports. The axes of the outlet and inlet ports on the water pump are on the same horizontal plane and are perpendicular to each other.
[0003] The key role of the water pump impeller is to convert mechanical energy into the kinetic energy of the liquid. As the core component of the water pump, it generates centrifugal force through rotational motion, sucking the liquid from the central inlet of the impeller and pushing it towards the edge of the impeller. When the liquid flows, a small part of the liquid will flow back to the water pump inlet along the gap between the upper cover of the impeller and the volute, affecting the performance of the water pump and thus the conversion efficiency. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an impeller structure that can reduce backflow, enhancing the performance of the water pump and improving the conversion efficiency.
[0005] An impeller structure that can reduce backflow of the utility model includes a volute and an anti-backflow component. The lower part of the volute is provided with an impeller, and the anti-backflow component is installed on the impeller. When in use, when the rotor drives the impeller to rotate at a high speed, the liquid that wants to flow back will be thrown back into the volute by the anti-backflow component of the impeller under the action of centrifugal force, greatly enhancing the performance of the water pump and improving the conversion efficiency.
[0006] Preferably, the anti-backflow component includes an upper impeller cover, a lower impeller cover, and a connecting shaft. The upper impeller cover and the lower impeller cover are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the impeller, and the connecting shaft is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom end of the impeller. The impeller is connected to the output end of the rotor through the connecting shaft, and the rotor drives the impeller to rotate at a high speed through the connecting shaft. The liquid that wants to flow back will be thrown back into the volute by the upper impeller cover again under the action of centrifugal force.
[0007] Preferably, blades identical to the impeller are provided at the position where there is a gap between the upper part of the upper impeller cover and the volute. The liquid that wants to flow back will be thrown back into the volute by the blades above the upper impeller cover again under the action of centrifugal force, greatly enhancing the performance of the water pump.
[0008] Preferably, the blade thickness of the upper part of the impeller cover is the same as that of the impeller blades, and the length is about one-third of the length of the impeller blades; the structure is simple, convenient for injection molding and easy to weld, without increasing any additional cost.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: when in use, when the rotor drives the impeller to rotate at a high speed, the liquid that wants to flow back will be thrown back into the volute by the anti-backflow component of the impeller under the action of centrifugal force, greatly enhancing the performance of the water pump and improving the conversion efficiency.
