[0029] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0030] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0031] Please refer to Figs. 1-2 The present application provides a technical scheme: a centrifugal pump impeller structure for changing a cavitation margin, comprising:

[0032] The central shaft 1 is arranged at the inlet 11 of the pump shell 10, the assembly hole 2 in the central shaft 1 is provided with the power shaft 12, the inner end surface of the central shaft 1 abuts against the inner impeller 13, and the outer end of the central shaft 1 is provided with the fixed nut 14, and the fixed nut 14 is positioned with the outer end of the power shaft 12.

[0033] The plurality of spiral blades 3 are uniformly distributed on the surface of the central shaft 1, the first wedge-shaped camber 4 and the second wedge-shaped camber 5 are respectively arranged on the inner end surface and the outer end surface of the spiral blade 3, and a gap is left between the inlet 11 and the spiral blade 3.

[0034] The inner end surface of the central shaft 1 is provided with the stepped clamping block 6, the stepped clamping block 6 is embedded in the positioning flange on the inner side of the end surface of the inner impeller 13, and the assembly strength of the spiral blade 3 and the centrifugal pump is improved.

[0035] The stepped block 6 is provided with a sealing ring between the positioning flange, the outer end of the central shaft 1 and the fixing nut 14.

[0036] The four spiral vanes 3 are evenly distributed, and the index error is not greater than ±15'.

[0037] The included angle of the outer spiral vane 3 is 1°.

[0038] The included angle of the inlet edge to the outlet edge of the spiral vane 3 is 3°±1°.

[0039] The cross section of the first wedge-shaped camber 4 and the second wedge-shaped camber 5 gradually decreases from inside to outside, and the included angle between them is 5°.

[0040] The inner wall of the inlet 11 is a tapered surface with gradually decreasing size from outside to inside.

[0041] The working principle of the centrifugal pump impeller structure of the embodiment for adjusting the net positive suction head includes: the spiral impeller structure is arranged at the inlet of the centrifugal pump and the liquid inlet end of the inner impeller 13, so that the generated head of the spiral impeller structure pressurizes the following centrifugal inner impeller 13. The spiral impeller structure only needs a low suction head, and then the fluid can be pumped in, which improves the fluid suction performance of the entire pump. When the conventional centrifugal pump impeller is used, when the cavitation develops to a certain extent, it will obviously affect the liquid pumping performance of the centrifugal pump. This is because the liquid in the flow passage of the centrifugal impeller flows from the axial direction to the radial direction (mainly in the radial direction). Because the density of the liquid is greater than that of the gas, under the action of the centrifugal force, the cavitation in the liquid flow is easily separated out and rapidly expanded to block the flow passage, so that the suction performance of the pump is rapidly deteriorated. The flow passage between the spiral impeller structure is relatively long, and mainly provides an axial guiding effect on the liquid. The relative flow rate is the largest at the outer edge of the impeller, so cavitation first occurs at the outer edge of the impeller. The liquid near the hub center is compressed by the centrifugal force, which compresses the cavitation at the outer edge, so that it can only move axially along the outer edge and collapse after entering the high-pressure area. This greatly limits the development of cavitation, thereby adjusting the net positive suction head at the inlet end of the centrifugal pump and improving the anti-cavitation performance of the centrifugal pump. Only when all the flow passages of the device are filled with cavitation (at this time, the centrifugal impeller also occurs cavitation and flow is interrupted), the working state of the pump is destroyed.

[0042] When the conventional centrifugal impeller is used, the liquid rapidly turns the direction when entering the blade head, the flow rate increases, and thus the pressure decreases, which easily causes cavitation, separates the gas from the liquid, and after the cavitation is generated, the centrifugal impeller cannot limit the development thereof, because the flow direction of the liquid in the impeller is along the direction of the centrifugal force, the liquid is thrown outward at high speed under the action of the centrifugal force, and the bubbles move inward, thereby accelerating the separation of the gas from the liquid.

[0043] In summary, due to the adoption of the technical scheme, the centrifugal pump impeller structure for changing the cavitation margin has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0044] After the impeller structure is assembled with the centrifugal pump, the liquid suction performance and cavitation resistance are significantly improved, the vibration noise of the centrifugal pump is reduced, the operation is stable, the probability of cavitation phenomenon of the centrifugal pump is effectively reduced, the spiral flow flowing out of the device can reduce the net positive suction head of the water pump, improve the inlet pressure of the water pump, and thus improve the cavitation resistance of the water pump; meanwhile, the capacity of the water pump for conveying viscous materials can be improved, and the service life of the flow parts such as the impeller, the pump body and the cover plate is prolonged.

[0045] The above is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this, any skilled person in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the utility model within the technical range disclosed by the utility model, which should be covered in the protection scope of the utility model.
