Background Technology
[0002] High-flow, wear-resistant, segmental volute multistage pumps are widely used fluid transport equipment in industrial fields. Their working principle primarily relies on the cascade action of multiple impellers to achieve fluid pressurization and transport.

Detailed Implementation
[0036] The preferred embodiments of this utility model are given below with reference to the accompanying drawings to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model in detail.
[0037] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, this utility model proposes a high-flow-rate, wear-resistant, segmental volute multistage pump, which includes: a drive-end bearing assembly 1, a rotor assembly 2, a sealing assembly 3, a first auxiliary impeller 4, a suction section 5, a volute casing 6, a sealing ring 7, a connecting assembly 8, an impeller 9, a discharge section 10, a final stage impeller 11, a balance drum 12, a second auxiliary impeller 13, a balance pipe 14, a pump shaft 15, and a free-end bearing assembly 16.
[0038] The drive-end bearing assembly 1 and the free-end bearing assembly 16 are located at the drive end and free end of the multistage pump, respectively. The suction section 5 and the discharge section 10 are located at the inlet and outlet of the multistage pump, respectively. Between the suction section 5 and the discharge section 10 are several impellers 9 and a final stage impeller 11. The front part of the sealing component 3 at the drive end is designed with a first auxiliary impeller 4, and the front part of the sealing component 3 at the free end is designed with a second auxiliary impeller 13 (the first auxiliary impeller 4 and the second auxiliary impeller 13 have the same structure, see [reference]). Figure 2-1 , 2-2 2-3).
[0039] The rotor assembly 2 includes a first impeller 4, several impellers 9, a final stage impeller 11, a balance drum 12, a pump shaft 15, a drive end bearing assembly 1, a second impeller 13, and a free end bearing assembly 16; the pump shaft 15 is connected to a motor; the first impeller 4, several impellers 9, the final stage impeller 11, the balance drum 12, and the second impeller 13 are all fixed on the pump shaft 15.
[0040] The volute casing 6 is a symmetrical volute casing, which is a combination of radial guide vanes and an annular middle section. The connecting component 8 is installed between the suction section and the discharge section, with both ends fixed to the suction section and the discharge section. For segmented pumps, each stage needs to be pressed tightly at the outermost edge, and the connecting component is used to press the whole structure together. In the actual implementation, the suction section and the discharge section each have pre-drilled mounting holes for the connecting component 8. The connecting component has threads at both ends, which are fixed with nuts.
[0041] The balancing drum 12 is located between the final impeller 11 and the second impeller 13; a balancing chamber is provided between the discharge section 10 and the free end, and the balancing chamber is connected to the suction section 5 through the balancing pipe 14. The balancing drum 12 and the balancing chamber together form the axial force balancing device of the pump group.
[0042] In the specific implementation process, there are four volute housings 6, which are symmetrically distributed around the circumference. The volute housing 6 combines the original radial guide vanes and annular middle section design, which serves as both the flow channel and the pressure-bearing component of the pump unit. The design of the volute housing 6 reduces the axial dimension of the water pump, making the water pump structure more compact. Compared with the radial guide vanes, it is easier and more reliable to process and cast. Moreover, its flow channel shape is more in line with the liquid flow characteristics, making the volute housing 6 more resistant to erosion and abrasion, and the water pump operates more efficiently and reliably.
[0043] Figure 3-1 This is a schematic diagram of the impeller structure in this utility model. Figure 3-2 for Figure 3-1 Left view, Figure 3-3 for Figure 3-1 The right view. As shown in the figure above: In the specific implementation process, the inner side of the cover plate of impeller 9 and the last stage impeller 11 adopts a gradually expanding design, see [reference]. Figure 3-1 At point A in the diagram, the end face of the volute housing 6 adopts a helical protrusion structure 601, see [reference]. Figure 4 Solid particles and impurities are pressurized by impeller 9 and the last stage impeller 11 and moved to the gradually expanding outlet of impeller 9 and the last stage impeller 11. Then they enter the volute and are discharged after being centrifugally discharged by the spiral protrusion end face of the volute casing 6. This effectively solves the problem of solid particles and impurities being retained and scourted by the volute casing 6. The design of the volute casing 6 in conjunction with impeller 9 and the last stage impeller 11 effectively reduces the scour of the pump body flow channel and impeller cover plate by particles inside the medium.
[0044] In the specific implementation process, both the sealing ring 7 and the impeller 9 are designed with multi-threaded grooves 901 on their mating circumferential surfaces. The multi-threaded grooves rotate in opposite directions. During operation, the two multi-threads interact to generate a reverse spiral sealing effect, preventing the fluid leaking from the volute 6 from flowing back to the inlet of the impeller 9. Furthermore, due to the propulsive action of the reverse multi-threads, solid particles and impurities are effectively prevented from entering between the sealing ring 7 and the impeller 9. While ensuring the operating clearance, the throttling effect is effectively improved, enhancing the pump's operating efficiency and safety.
[0045] In the specific implementation process, the inlet end of the impeller 9 is designed with a rectangular groove 902, the spiral direction of which is opposite to the rotation direction of the impeller 9 and the last stage impeller 11. When the pump unit is running, solid particles and impurities at the impeller inlet enter the impeller 9 inlet under the action of centrifugal force, which effectively solves the problem of solid particles and impurities accumulating at the inlet of the double suction impeller 9, prevents solid particles and impurities from entering between the sealing ring 7 and the impeller 9, reduces the scouring of the sealing ring 7 and the impeller 9 by impurities, and improves the reliability of operation.
[0046] In the specific implementation process, the front part of the cavity of the drive end and free end sealing component 3 is designed with a first impeller 4. The first impeller 4 provides a non-contact seal for the pump and also effectively prevents mud or other solid particles from entering the pump's sealing components, effectively protecting the sealing device, extending the service life of the sealing components, improving the safe operation cycle of the pump set, and thus generating higher economic benefits.
[0047] In the specific implementation process, the drive-side suction section 5 is designed with a return port 17. Under the centrifugal force of the first impeller 4, solid particles and impurities enter the suction port through the return port. The discharge section 10 is designed with a balancing chamber. The balancing drum 12 and the balancing chamber together form the axial force balancing device of the pump unit. Compared with the existing balancing disc design, it is simple to manufacture and reliable in operation. The balancing chamber is connected to the suction section 5 through a balancing pipe 14. While balancing the axial force, it also allows solid particles and impurities to return to the suction port under the centrifugal force of the second impeller 13. This effectively solves the problem of solid particles and impurities accumulating in the sealing chamber and suction port, improves the pump unit's erosion resistance, and enhances the pump unit's operational reliability.
[0048] In the specific implementation process, the discharge section 10 adopts a volute hydraulic design, eliminating the radial guide vanes. The volute hydraulic design is more in line with the liquid flow state, thus making the volute casing more resistant to wear and erosion, significantly improving the pump's operating efficiency. Furthermore, its structure is more compact than that of radial guide vanes, and its machining and casting are more convenient and reliable. Additionally, the rear cover plate of the final stage impeller 11 is designed with helical auxiliary blades 1101. While balancing the axial force, the centrifugal effect of the auxiliary blades effectively inhibits solid particles and impurities from entering the gap between the balancing drum 12 and the balancing chamber, improving the erosion resistance of the balancing device and enhancing the operational reliability of the pump unit.
[0049] This utility model adopts a high-efficiency, compact, symmetrical volute design, which combines the original radial guide vanes and annular middle section, making the pump structure more compact, easy and reliable to process and cast, with good resistance to erosion and abrasion, and significantly improving the pump's operating efficiency.
[0050] The impeller cover plate of this utility model adopts a gradually expanding design on the inner side, and the pump body volute end face adopts a spiral and protruding structure. When used in conjunction with the impeller, it effectively reduces the scouring of the pump body flow channel and impeller cover plate by the particles inside the medium.
[0051] The sealing ring and impeller inlet sealing ring of this utility model adopt a multi-line reverse thread groove design, which effectively improves the throttling effect and increases the pump operating efficiency while ensuring the operating clearance.
[0052] This utility model features a rectangular groove at the impeller inlet end, which solves the problem of solid particles and impurities accumulating at the impeller inlet and prevents solid particles and impurities from entering the dynamic and static gap of the sealing ring. This reduces the erosion of the sealing ring and impeller by impurities and improves operational reliability.
[0053] This utility model features a secondary impeller designed before the sealing cavity. While providing a non-contact seal to the pump, the secondary impeller effectively prevents mud, sand, or other solid particles from entering the pump's sealing device, thus preventing wear and damage to the sealing components. This improves the service life and reliability of the sealing components, thereby enhancing the user's economic benefits.
[0054] The present invention has a reflux hole at the suction end. Under the action of centrifugal force of the auxiliary impeller, solid particles and impurities enter the suction port through the reflux hole, thereby effectively solving the problem of solid particles and impurities accumulating in the sealing cavity and suction port, inhibiting the scouring of the sealing components and flow components by solid particles and impurities, and improving the wear and corrosion resistance of the pump unit.
[0055] The discharge section of this utility model adopts a volute hydraulic design, eliminating radial guide vanes. While reducing the number of pump components, it improves the pump's resistance to wear and erosion, resulting in a significant increase in pump operating efficiency. Furthermore, its structure is more compact than that of radial guide vanes, and its processing and casting are more convenient and reliable.
[0056] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
