[0033] In practical applications, the size of the gap (or interval) between the baffle plate 9 and the impeller 2 on the flow stabilization structure is determined by the specific hydraulic requirements of the water pump. By adjusting the size of the gap, not only can the hydraulic requirements of the water pump be ensured, but also the peak value of the pressure accumulation in the pump chamber 3 can be adjusted to optimize the hydraulic pressure distribution in the pump chamber 3 and achieve the purpose of smooth water flow, which is beneficial to vibration reduction, noise reduction and hydraulic efficiency improvement.

[0036] In the embodiment, the connecting columns 10 can be in an integral structure with the pump cover 4 (as shown in Figure 8 ), or in a split structure (as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 ). As shown in Figure 9 , when the connecting columns 10 are in a split structure, the connecting columns 10 are connected together through connecting members, and then the connecting columns 10 and the flow baffle 9 are connected together through another connecting member; or, as shown in Figure 10 , the connecting columns 10, the flow baffle 9 and the pump cover 4 are connected together through connecting members in sequence.
[0037] In practical application, the rotating shaft 5 is provided with the mechanical seal 15, the outer end of the mechanical seal 15 is fitted with the pump cover 4, the inner end of the mechanical seal 15 is fitted with the outer end of the connecting sleeve 13 on the impeller 2, and the mechanical seal 15 is fitted with the cooling cavity 11 in the flow stabilizing structure. The flow stabilizing structure is added in the pump cavity 3 to maintain as much as possible the water flow in the pump cavity 3 in the area near the water outlet channel on the pump body 1, which is conducive to ensuring the pump efficiency, and a small part of the water flow flows into the cooling cavity 11 through the gap between the flow stabilizing structure and the surrounding components, for lubricating and cooling the mechanical seal 15, which is conducive to improving the working stability and service life of the mechanical seal 15.
