[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0021] Combined with appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cyclone pump, comprising a pump body 7, an impeller 8, an inner pump cover 9, an auxiliary impeller 10, a sealing cavity 11, a mechanical seal 12, and a bearing assembly 13. The pump body 7 and the bearing assembly 13 are fixedly connected. The inner pump cover 9, the auxiliary impeller 10, the sealing cavity 11, and the mechanical seal 12 are fitted onto the impeller 8. One end of the auxiliary impeller 108 is provided with the inner pump cover 9. The other end of the auxiliary impeller 108 is provided with the sealing cavity 11. The end of the sealing cavity 11 away from the auxiliary impeller 10 is provided with the mechanical seal 12. The mechanical seal 12 is placed inside the bearing assembly 13. Both sides of the inner pump cover 9 are fixedly connected to the bearing assembly 13. Both sides of the sealing cavity 11 are fixedly connected to the bearing assembly 13.
[0022] Further, the impeller 8 includes a wheel body 1, a wheel shaft 2 at the center of the wheel body, and blades 19 on the side of the wheel body. The blades 19 are composed of a front section 3, a middle section 4, and a rear section 5 in sequence. The inlet angle of the front section 3 is θ; the outlet angle of the rear section 5 is φ; the middle section 4 transitions from the front section 3 to the rear section 5; the blade angle of the middle section 4 conforms to the relative flow tilt angle of the liquid; the inlet angle θ of the front section 3 is in the range of 20~35°; and the outlet angle φ of the rear section 5 is 90°.
[0023] In one embodiment, there are 8 blades (12 blades when the impeller diameter is greater than 400); the rear section 5 of the blade is a straight blade; the straight blade begins to tilt at about 1 / 4 of its total length at the blade exit end; a chamfer 6 is provided on the back of the blade; the cross section of the blade is pentagonal; the wheel body 1, the wheel axle 2 at the center of the wheel body, and the blades on the side of the wheel body rotate counterclockwise.
[0024] It should be noted that the impeller 8 of this application adopts a semi-open structure and is placed on one side of the vortex chamber. The vortex casing flow channel of the pump body 7 in front of the impeller 8 is not blocked, and the conveying of media with impurities and particles is not blocked, and has good flowability. At the same time, the blade inlet placement angle of the impeller 8 is between 20 and 35°. This blade inlet placement angle is similar to the blade inlet angle of other centrifugal pumps, which reduces the hydraulic loss caused by the inlet flow and the impact of the blades.
[0025] In addition, the blade outlet angle is 90°, which makes the liquid generate a large circumferential velocity at the impeller outlet 8, thereby increasing the pump head. At the same time, the blade angle in the middle section of the blade is consistent with the relative flow direction of the liquid, so that the blade transitions smoothly from the inlet to the outlet, reducing resistance loss during operation, improving hydraulic efficiency, and also greatly reducing pump noise.
[0026] The rear section 5 of the blade in this application retains a straight blade of approximately 1 / 4 the blade length, ensuring good hydraulic performance even after the impeller 8 diameter is cut.
[0027] The blade of this application has a chamfered 6 structure on the back (see...). Figure 4 This reduces the resistance of the swirling liquid entering the impeller 8, increases the flow rate of the impeller 8, and allows more liquid to circulate and be pressurized through the impeller 8, thereby improving hydraulic efficiency.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the wheel body 1 is greater than 315 mm, and a short blade 18 is provided between the rear section 5 of the blade.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the short blade 18 is located at the blade outlet, and the short blade 18 is a straight blade segment.
[0030] It should be noted that for impellers with a diameter greater than 315mm, without changing the inlet angle of the blades, short blades 18 are added to the straight blade segment at the blade outlet to reduce vortex losses between blades caused by the large distance between blades at the large diameter.
[0031] Furthermore, the inlet of the short blade 18 is inclined towards the back of the blade.
[0032] It should be noted that the inlet design of the short blade 18 is inclined towards the back of the blade, which effectively improves the reasonable distribution of flow and makes the outlet pressure of the blade more evenly distributed; the addition of the short blade 7 effectively increases the pump head and improves the pump efficiency.
[0033] In one embodiment, the pump body 7 includes a vortex diffuser section 14, a vortex inlet section 15, a baffle 16, and a vortex pressure chamber section 17. A baffle 16 is provided between the vortex diffuser section 14 and the vortex pressure chamber section 17. The radial diameter of the baffle 16 is D0. The radial diameter of the outlet of the vortex pressure chamber section 17 is D3. The ratio of D0 to D3 is within the range of 90% ± 3%. The pump body 7 adopts a semi-vortex pressure chamber. The vortex pressure chamber section 17 extends from the baffle 16 to within 180°. The vortex pressure chamber section 17 to the outlet of the vortex diffuser section 14 is a circular pressure chamber.
[0034] It should be noted that the design of the pump body 7 in this application is twofold: firstly, to address the problem that the "barrier tongue 16" at the outlet of the circular pressure chamber vortex chamber is not effective in separating and drawing out the liquid, and most of the liquid continues to circulate within the pump body 7, resulting in energy loss; and secondly, to solve the problem that the large diffusion angle of the vortex shell at the barrier tongue 16 in conventional pump bodies 7 leads to excessive changes in the circumferential dimensions of the vortex chamber, causing losses of the swirling liquid during circulation within the pump body 7.
[0035] In one embodiment, the volute inlet section 15 adopts an inner diffusion angle α and a large fillet R; the angle value of the inner diffusion angle α is 2°~8°, and a larger value is selected for large impeller diameter or large flow rate; the value of the large fillet R is 50% of the pump body inlet diameter.
[0036] It should be noted that the inlet section of the pump body 7 adopts an internal diffusion angle and a large fillet design, with the internal diffusion angle value between 2° and 8°; the fillet radius R is 50% of the inlet diameter of the pump body 7. With the same impeller 8 and pump body 7 matching design, the larger the inlet diffusion angle α and fillet radius R of the pump body 7, the higher the flow rate at the pump's optimal efficiency point. At the same flow rate, this application reduces the suction velocity, improves suction performance, and gives the pump better cavitation performance. However, further increases in α and R will result in a lower head. Therefore, the inlet DN design can be modified according to the required pump parameters.
[0037] The design principle of this application is as follows: The impeller 8 of the pump is mounted on the shaft. The impeller 8 is located on one side of the volute chamber of the pump body 7, with a large distance between it and the inlet side wall of the pump body 7, forming a flow channel. Driven by a motor, the impeller 8 accelerates the liquid into the volute flow channel. This portion of the liquid has a high velocity. Some of the liquid at the inlet of the impeller 8 that is not accelerated by the impeller 8 will enter the impeller 8, filling the space where the liquid flows towards the edge of the impeller 8 due to acceleration and centrifugal force, forming a local vortex. At the same time, the liquid forms an overall vortex around the circumference of the volute chamber of the pump body 7 as the impeller 8 rotates. The liquid gains energy during the continuous acceleration and circulation process. A portion of the liquid flows out from the pump outlet, while the portion continues to be accelerated in the form of a vortex within the volute chamber. Therefore, the liquid in a vortex pump is also subject to repeated acceleration.
[0038] Impeller 8 adopts a back blade design, which can automatically discharge heavy particles to the outer edge of impeller 8 during rotation, preventing the back of impeller 8 from being blocked due to the high solid content of the medium, and reducing the back pressure of impeller 8 and the pressure of the sealing cavity.
[0039] Furthermore, this pump employs a secondary impeller 10 dynamic seal, which further lowers the sealing cavity and acts as an isolation mechanism to prevent media containing fine particles from entering the sealing cavity 11, thus ensuring the service life of the mechanical seal 12.
[0040] In addition, the pump of this application adopts a horizontal installation and a pull-back structure, which facilitates the disassembly of rotor components for replacement and maintenance; the bearing component 13 adopts a common standard design to improve the standardization of the pump; and the standardization of the pump is improved through the design of common components and reasonable hydraulic planning.
[0041] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
