As an important component that affects the flow characteristics of fluid inside the pump, the traditional structure of the flow guide has many shortcomings.
[0003] The traditional flow guide usually has a simple flow channel design, such as a straight cylinder type or a basically arc-shaped flow channel.

The uneven flow velocity leads to intensified turbulence phenomenon in local areas, and the intensity of fluid impact on the wall surface of the flow guide and internal components increases.

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the utility model.
[0022] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 The utility model provides a technical scheme:
[0023] A pump flow guide structure, comprising, main body shell 1, the both ends of main body shell 1 are provided with two butt flanges 4 for connecting pump body and pipeline.
[0024] Its inside has hollow flow passage cavity;Flow guide group, be provided in flow passage cavity, flow guide group includes a plurality of circumferentially uniform distribution flow guide vane 2, and each flow guide vane 2 includes the inlet section 201, transition section 202 and outlet section 203 connected in turn.
[0025] The inlet section 201 is the arc structure that inclines to the center axis direction of flow passage cavity, and the inclination angle is α, and 15 ° ≤ α ≤ 30 °, the arc radius of inlet section 201 is R1, and 20mm ≤ R1 ≤ 30mm, the length of inlet section 201 is L1, and 30mm ≤ L1 ≤ 50mm.
[0026] The arc structure that inclines to the center axis direction of flow passage cavity of inlet section 201 is the design that is obtained through a large number of experiments and simulation optimization.
[0027] The inclination angle α changes between 15 ° and 30 °, for example, when α = 20 °, the fluid that meets can be met with the best angle, so that the fluid is smoothly transitioned along the arc surface in the moment of entering, and the turbulence phenomenon caused by direct impact is avoided.
[0028] The arc radius R1 is 20mm to 30mm, such as R1 = 25mm, the radius size is matched with the flow and flow rate characteristics of fluid, and fluid can be effectively guided to start flowing along the predetermined path.
[0029] The length L1 of inlet section 201 is 30mm to 50mm, and L1 = 40mm is provided, and the appropriate length ensures that the fluid has enough time and space to adjust the flow state in the inlet section, and lays a good foundation for subsequent flow.
[0030] The transition section 202 is S-shaped curve structure, and the curvature radius gradually decreases from the connecting end with the inlet section 201 to the connecting end with the outlet section 203.
[0031] The S-shaped curve structure of the transition section 202 is a key link to achieve uniform distribution of flow velocity.
[0032] The radius of curvature gradually decreases from the connection end with the inlet section to the connection end with the outlet section, and this trend can skillfully guide the fluid to gradually change the flow direction.
[0033] When the fluid flows through the transition section, due to the continuous change of the radius of curvature, the centripetal force received by the fluid at different positions is also gradually changing, so that the velocity gradient inside the fluid gradually tends to be uniform.
[0034] For example, near the inlet end, the larger radius of curvature allows the fluid to turn more gently, and as it approaches the outlet end, the radius of curvature decreases, and the fluid turns more obviously, but due to the gradual change, it does not cause severe turbulence or vortex, but makes the fluid achieve uniformization adjustment of flow velocity in the entire transition section.
[0035] The outlet section 203 is a straight line structure, and the included angle between the outlet section 203 and the central axis of the flow passage cavity is β, and 5°≤β≤15°, the length of the outlet section 203 is L2, and 40mm≤L2≤60mm.
[0036] The outlet section 203 is a straight line structure, and the included angle between the outlet section 203 and the central axis of the flow passage cavity is β, and 5°≤β≤15°, the length of the outlet section 203 is L2, and 40mm≤L2≤60mm.
[0037] The design of this angle can ensure that the fluid flows out of the guide vane 2 in the right direction, so that it can better connect with the subsequent flow path of the flow passage cavity, and further optimize the fluid dynamic performance in the entire flow passage.
[0038] The length L2 of the outlet section 203 is 40mm to 60mm, and L2=50mm is taken, which is enough to ensure that the fluid can fully stabilize its flow state before flowing out of the guide vane 2, avoiding new turbulence or unstable factors caused by premature entering the flow passage cavity.
[0039] Further, a plurality of turbulence protrusions 5 are arranged on the inner wall of the main body shell 1 in a circumferential direction, the turbulence protrusions 5 are triangular, the height h of the turbulence protrusions 5 is 3mm to 5mm, and the spacing d between adjacent turbulence protrusions 5 is 10mm to 20mm.
[0040] The turbulence protrusions 5 are triangular, the height h of the turbulence protrusions 5 is 3mm to 5mm, for example h=4mm, and the spacing d between adjacent turbulence protrusions 5 is 10mm to 20mm, for example d=15mm. When the fluid flows along the wall surface of the flow passage cavity, a boundary layer is formed due to the viscous effect of the wall surface.
[0041] The flow velocity of the fluid in the boundary layer is relatively low, which is easy to cause the formation of local dead zones, affecting the uniformity of the fluid in the entire flow passage.
[0042] The presence of the spoiler 5 breaks the stable state of the boundary layer, and when the fluid flows through the spoiler, it generates local turbulence and eddies around it.
[0043] These turbulence and eddies can promote the mixing of the fluid in the boundary layer with the main fluid, so that the originally slow boundary layer fluid is rolled into the main fluid, thereby improving the uniformity of the fluid on the entire cross section of the flow passage, reducing the energy loss and efficiency reduction problems caused by local dead zones.
[0044] Further, the inlet of the flow passage cavity is provided with a trumpet-shaped flow guide flared 3, the flared angle of the flow guide flared 3 is γ, and 30°≤γ≤45°.
[0045] The trumpet-shaped flow guide flared 3 provided at the inlet of the flow passage cavity makes the fluid diffuse when it enters the flow passage cavity from the external pipeline, and the flow guide flared 3 guides the fluid to diffuse at a specific flared angle γ between 30° and 45°, such as γ=35°.
[0046] This trumpet-shaped design can effectively reduce the flow rate when the fluid enters, reduce the local pressure loss caused by sudden contraction or expansion, and make the fluid enter the subsequent flow guide vane 2 area more smoothly, just like laying a gentle "bridge" for the fluid to enter the flow passage cavity, greatly improving the efficiency and stability of the fluid entering.
[0047] Further, the surface of the flow guide vane 2 is coated with a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating, which is a ceramic coating or a tungsten carbide coating.
[0048] During the long-term operation of the pump, the fluid may contain various corrosive substances or solid particles, which can cause wear and corrosion to the flow guide vane 2.
[0049] The ceramic coating has high hardness, high wear resistance and good chemical stability, which can effectively resist the erosion and corrosion of the fluid.
[0050] The tungsten carbide coating also has excellent wear resistance and certain corrosion resistance, which can provide reliable protection for the flow guide vane 2 in harsh working environment.
[0051] By coating such wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating, the service life of the flow guide vane 2 is significantly prolonged, reducing the pump repair and replacement costs caused by blade damage, and improving the overall reliability and economy of the pump.
[0052] Further, the main body shell 1 is made of aluminum alloy material, and its thickness is t, and 5mm≤t≤8mm.
[0053] The main body shell 1 is made of aluminum alloy material as the external frame of the whole pump flow guide structure. The aluminum alloy material has many advantages, and its density is relatively low, which can effectively reduce the overall weight, which is positive for reducing the energy consumption of the pump during operation.
[0054] At the same time, it has sufficient strength and rigidity, can withstand the pressure generated by the fluid in the high-speed flow process and various stresses caused by vibration, and its thickness t is accurately controlled between 5mm to 8mm, for example, set t = 6mm, such thickness can ensure the stability of the structure, and will not affect the overall performance of the pump due to excessive weight.
