[0037] Combination Figures 2 to 7 As shown, this utility model provides a high-efficiency and energy-saving horizontal centrifugal pump, which includes: a pump body 10, which has a suction port 110, a discharge port 120 and a vortex chamber 130, wherein the vortex chamber 130 is connected to the suction port 110 and the discharge port 120; an impeller 20, which is disposed in the vortex chamber 130, wherein the impeller 20 includes a plurality of blades 230, and the tail end of the blades 230 is provided with a blade outlet edge 231, wherein the blade outlet edge 231 is inclined.

[0038] Specifically, the impeller 20 is assembled inside the vortex chamber 130. When the horizontal centrifugal pump is working, fluid enters the vortex chamber 130 from the suction port 110. When the motor is powered on, it drives the impeller 20 to rotate through the motor shaft and the pump shaft. The fluid in the inlet 110 of the vortex chamber 130 flows through the impeller inlet of the impeller 20 and enters the interior of the impeller 20 under the action of the rotation of the impeller 20. Then it is thrown out from the blade 230 outlet to the discharge port 120 and finally discharged from the horizontal centrifugal pump of this application.

[0039] The blade outlet edge 231 is inclined. Compared with the straight design of the prior art, the inclined design of this application can better guide the fluid at the blade outlet 230, so that the fluid flows out at an angle, reducing flow separation and eddies at the blade outlet 230 and reducing hydraulic loss. Moreover, the inclined design makes the velocity distribution of the fluid at the blade outlet 230 more uniform, improving energy conversion efficiency and thus increasing the head.

[0040] Furthermore, the high-efficiency and energy-saving horizontal centrifugal pump has a transverse section along the length of the pump body 10. For ease of understanding, on the transverse section, the perpendicular bisector of the vortex chamber 130 is defined as the first perpendicular bisector L1, the centerline of the discharge port 120 is defined as the second perpendicular bisector L2, and the centerline of the outlet of the impeller 20 blade 230 is defined as the third perpendicular bisector L3. The second perpendicular bisector L2 coincides with the third perpendicular bisector L3, and the first perpendicular bisector L1 is offset relative to the second perpendicular bisector L2 towards the suction port 110. That is, the vortex chamber 130 is offset towards the suction port 110.

[0041] Because the vortex chamber 130 is offset towards the suction port 110, the flow field distribution is optimized, making the fluid flow smoother, reducing flow resistance, increasing flow rate, and reducing energy loss. Furthermore, the inclined arrangement of the blade outlet edge 231, combined with the offset of the vortex chamber 130 towards the suction port 110, reduces the impact of the fluid on the pump body 10 (pump casing), reduces vibration and noise, reduces wear, improves operational stability, extends equipment life, and significantly improves the overall performance of the horizontal centrifugal pump, which has broad application prospects.

[0042] In this embodiment, the vortex chamber 130 is connected to the outlet 120 via the vortex chamber diffuser 30, and the fluid discharged from the blade 230 outlet flows to the outlet 120 via the vortex chamber diffuser 30. This embodiment changes the position of the vortex chamber 130, while the positions of the outlet 120 and the inlet 110 remain unchanged, allowing for compatibility with other existing equipment and components.

[0043] Regarding the structure of the impeller 20 in this embodiment, the impeller 20 further includes a front cover plate 210 and a rear cover plate 220, and a plurality of blades 230 are disposed between the front cover plate 210 and the rear cover plate 220. The blade outlet edge 231 is provided with a first end connected to the rear cover plate 220 and a second end connected to the front cover plate 210. The blade outlet edge 231 is inclined from the first end to the second end so that the fluid flows out obliquely, reducing flow separation and eddies at the outlet of the blade 230 and improving hydraulic efficiency.

[0044] Furthermore, the blade 230 is provided with a first end face 232 facing the outside of the impeller 20 and a second end face 233 facing the inside of the impeller 20; the blade outlet edge 231 is inclined from the first end to the second end and is bent towards the first end face 232.

[0045] In this embodiment, a plurality of secondary blades 240 are provided on the rear side of the impeller rear cover plate 220. The plurality of secondary blades 240 are arranged in a circumferential manner to balance the axial force. Further, each secondary blade 240 includes a front end and a rear end, the front end being connected to the rear side of the impeller rear cover plate 220; the rear ends of the plurality of secondary blades 240 are all on the same plane.

[0046] In one embodiment, the tilt angle β2 of the blade exit edge and the offset distance ΔS of the vortex chamber satisfy the following formula:

[0047]

[0048] Where k is a structural coefficient adjusted according to the pump specific speed, and the range of k is 0.1 to 0.3, and D2 is the impeller diameter.

[0049] In one embodiment, for some horizontal centrifugal pumps with small impeller diameters, the offset distance ΔS of the vortex chamber is 0.1 to 0.5 mm.

[0050] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
