Description

[0002] Partial flow pumps, also known as high-speed partial flow pumps or Saint-Gobain pumps, are high-head, low-flow-rate high-speed centrifugal pumps. The diffuser is a crucial component of a partial flow pump. The diffuser tube is located on the diffuser. After the fluid passes through the impeller, it first undergoes initial deceleration within the annular flow channel of the diffuser, and then enters the diffuser tube for further deceleration. During this deceleration process, the fluid's kinetic energy is continuously converted into pressure energy, thus increasing the static pressure.

[0003] Currently, Chinese patent application number 2016101941926 discloses a diffuser structure, including a diffuser tube and a throat straight tube connected to each other. The central axis of the diffuser tube and the throat straight tube coincides with the outer circle tangent of the volute annular flow channel. The cross-section of the diffuser tube increases monotonically in the outward direction along the axis. The shape of the diffuser tube is trumpet-shaped.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors discovered that some flow pumps are used for transporting media containing particles. Due to the high-speed flow of the media, the diffuser tubes experience increased wear, resulting in significant wear and reduced roughness, which in turn reduces the overall efficiency of the flow pump. If the diffuser tubes are directly polished, the change in the diameter of the diffuser tubes affects the performance of the flow pumps, and the maintenance costs are also high.

[0028] The following will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-7 The present application will be described in further detail.

[0029] A diffuser for a partial flow pump, as shown in Figure 1 , comprises a diffuser body 1 for mounting an impeller, a water inlet 2 in the middle of the diffuser body 1, an annular flow passage 3 provided in the diffuser body 1, and the side of the impeller used to be opposite to the annular flow passage 3.

[0034] The detachable connection structure of the diffusion pipe 6 is described in detail below.

[0035] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 It is shown that the diffusion pipe 6 is integrally formed with a tapered dovetail block 8, the tapered dovetail block 8 is arranged along the axial direction of the diffusion pipe 6, the diffuser body 1 is provided with a tapered dovetail groove 9, the tapered dovetail groove 9 is communicated with the diffusion mounting port 5, the tapered dovetail groove 9 is matched with the tapered dovetail block 8, and the fixing member is arranged on the tapered dovetail block 8 and used for fixing the tapered dovetail groove 9.
