The transition flow passage is designed as two symmetrical single flow passages, and the sum of the areas of two symmetrical throats is equal to the area of single volute.

[0024] The upper pressing chamber outlet communicates with the flow passage diffusion section inlet, and the flow passage diffusion section outlet communicates with the suction chamber inlet. The pressing chamber is a double-volute structure and is symmetrically arranged with the volute center line. Each section of the pressing chamber is a rectangular structure, and the sum of the areas of two symmetrical throats is equal to the area of single volute. The flow passage diffusion section obliquely passes through the pump body. The internal cross-sectional area gradually increases from the flow passage diffusion section inlet to the outlet until the cross-sectional area is equal to or slightly smaller than the suction chamber inlet area. The flow passage diffusion section is symmetrically arranged with the volute center line, and each section of the flow passage diffusion section is a rectangular structure. The suction chamber is designed as a semi-circular ring structure, each section is a rectangle, and is symmetrically arranged with the volute center line. Two flow separation baffles 4 are cast between the two suction chambers. The flow separation baffle 4 is horizontally arranged, and the thickness is consistent with the volute wall thickness. The flow separation baffle 4 can reduce vortex and turbulent flow, which is conducive to improving flow distribution, improving efficiency and improving cavitation performance.

[0025] The outlet chamber is designed according to the velocity coefficient method, and each section of the outlet chamber is designed as a rectangle in order to facilitate casting and save axial space. According to the velocity coefficient method in the Modern Pump Theory and Design, the eighth section area S8 (half of the eighth section area of the single volute) of the outlet chamber can be calculated, and the inlet width b3 of the outlet chamber can be calculated. In order to facilitate casting, the suction chamber is designed as a ring-shaped suction chamber, and each section of the suction chamber is a rectangle, and the rectangle width is equal to the inlet width b3 of the outlet chamber.

[0026] The flow passage diffusion section is designed as a diffusion pipe with a diffusion angle, the center connecting line of the diffusion section section is a spatial curve distributed on a cylindrical surface, each section is a rectangle, and the rectangle width is equal to the inlet width b3 of the outlet chamber.

[0027] The circular arc angle of the flow passage diffusion section is 180°, the outlet of the previous stage outlet chamber is introduced into the inlet of the next stage suction chamber, the liquid flow direction is turned by 180°, and the size of the circular arc angle is determined according to design needs. In the utility model, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The circular arc angle is 180°.

[0028] According to the known area 2Sy at the inlet of the impeller, in order to make the flow in the circumferential direction of the impeller more uniform, the liquid should accelerate into the inlet of the impeller, so that the area Sa / Sy of the section A-A is equal to C, and C is 1.5-2.2, and the smaller ratio is suitable for specific speed ns=30-220, and the larger ratio is suitable for ns≧220.

[0029] The area of the section C-C of the ring-shaped suction chamber is equal to the area of the section A-A, SC=Sa=C*Sy=D3*b3-d*b3.

[0030] D3 is the diameter of the ring-shaped suction chamber;

[0031] d is the shaft diameter of the suction chamber, which is known;

[0032] The diameter D3 of the ring-shaped suction chamber is D3=C*Sy / b3+d (formula 1).

[0033] The inlet area of the flow passage diffusion section can be approximately considered as the eighth section area of the outlet chamber, and the outlet area of the flow passage diffusion section is the area of the section A-A. Since the section of the flow passage diffusion section is not circular, the area of each section is changed into an equivalent circular area, and the equivalent diffusion angle is calculated.

[0034]

[0035] L is the length of the center connecting line of the diffusion section flow passage;

[0036] The center connecting line of the diffusion section flow passage is a spatial curve distributed on a cylindrical surface, and when it is unfolded on a plane, the shape is the diagonal line of a rectangle, so the length of L can also be calculated by the following formula:

[0037]

[0038] r - as shown in Fig. 2, is the projection of L in the plane perpendicular to the axis, approximately considered as a circular arc, and r is the radius of the circular arc; Figure 1

[0039] m - as shown in Fig. 2, is the axial distance between the center of the extrusion chamber and the center of the suction chamber, and is also the axial distance between the starting point and the ending point of the connecting line of the center of the flow passage of the diffusion section. It is known; Figure 2

[0040] The formula 2 and the formula 3 are converted to obtain:

[0041]

[0042] In the formula, the equivalent diffusion angle θ is in the range of 7° to 13°;

[0043] The value of θ is selected, and the value of r is calculated. According to the overall structure of the multistage pump, it is determined whether the value of r is reasonable. If the value of r meets the design requirements, the value of θ is feasible; if the value of r does not meet the structural design requirements, the value of θ is re-assigned, and the value of r is calculated; until the value of r meets the design requirements.

[0044] According to the calculated value of r, and knowing the starting point k and the ending point P of the circular arc where the radius r is located, the circular arc can be drawn. The point k is the centroid of the eighth cross section of the volute, and the point P is the centroid of the A-A cross section.

[0045] The diffusion section of the flow passage is equally divided into n sections according to the length of L, and the value of n is in the range of 2 to 8. According to the length of L, the longer the length of L, the larger the value of n. The equivalent circular area of each section is calculated by S8 and the equivalent diffusion angle θ.

[0046]

[0047] Since each cross section of the diffusion section is a rectangle, the width of the rectangle is equal to the width b3 of the inlet of the extrusion chamber, and the length of the rectangle, i.e. the height of the cross section, is calculated by the formula:

[0048] Connecting each cross section in order from the inlet to the outlet of the diffusion section, the shape of the flow passage of the diffusion section is obtained; the design of the transition flow passage is completed.

[0049] ​​The utility model discloses can balance radial force basically, make pump smooth operation, reduced the noise and vibration of unit;Pump body radial size is small, save space;Efficient range is wide;The axial distance of transition flow channel is reduced, and the axial size of pump body is reduced. Meanwhile, the utility model discloses the design of suction chamber, liquid accelerates into impeller entrance, and the flow of impeller circumferential direction is more uniform, improves the flow of liquid, improves the efficiency.

The whole calculation process is simple, and the calculation speed is fast, and the design time is shortened;The utility model discloses especially be applicable to the working condition of small flow high lift.

The skilled person in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited to the above examples, and the above examples and descriptions in the specification are only to illustrate the principle of the utility model.
