Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water pump technology and relates to a multi-stage pump and a multi-stage impeller assembly. Background Technology
[0002] When a multistage pump is conveying a medium containing solid particles, the particles scour the impeller blade inlet edge, blade surface and flow channel wall at high speed, causing the blades to become thinner, the flow channel surface to become rougher, and even forming grooved wear. The wear is more significant at the blade outlet due to the higher flow velocity.
[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN209704926U discloses a multi-stage centrifugal pump guide impeller, including a pump shaft. A guide chamber and an impeller are sequentially arranged on the surface of the pump shaft. A support plate is arranged in the middle of the inner wall of the guide chamber. A guide vane plate is arranged on the side of the support plate away from the impeller. A water outlet is arranged at the center of the guide vane plate. Guide blocks are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the edge of the support plate away from the guide vane plate. A guard plate is fixedly connected on the side of the guide blocks away from the support plate. Flow holes are opened at equal intervals on the edge of the support plate and between the guide blocks. Baffles are arranged at equal intervals inside the impeller. A water inlet is arranged at the center of the side of the impeller away from the support plate. The baffles divide the inner cavity of the impeller into several spiral chambers. The impeller adopts a design with a central drum and thin edges.
[0004] The patent provides a multi-stage centrifugal pump impeller with a central drum and thin edge design. However, the thin edge makes it more prone to deformation, fatigue cracks or even breakage when subjected to centrifugal force, fluid impact force or particle scouring during high-speed rotation. Especially when conveying media containing solid particles, wear is aggravated, shortening the impeller's service life. Utility Model Content

[0019] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this embodiment includes an inlet seat 1, an outlet seat 2, a multi-stage pump shaft 3, and a multi-stage impeller assembly 4. The multi-stage pump shaft 3 passes sequentially through the inlet seat 1, the multi-stage impeller assembly 4, and the multi-stage pump shaft 3. The multi-stage impeller assembly 4 includes several intermediate pump casings 41, guide vanes 42, and impeller bodies 43. A first placement groove 411 is formed on the rear side of the interior of the intermediate pump casing 41. The guide vanes 42 are sleeved on the pump shaft and installed inside the first placement groove 411 of the intermediate pump casing 41. Several guide blocks 421 arranged in a circular array are integrally formed on the front side of the guide vanes 42. Guide holes 422 are opened on the side end faces of the guide blocks 421. A guide channel 423 is formed inside the guide vanes 42. 423 is connected to the guide hole 422. Several guide vanes 424 arranged in a circular array are fixed on the front side of the guide block 421. A second placement groove 425 is opened on the rear side of the guide vane 42. A shaft hole 431 is opened at the center of the impeller body 43 and is connected to the pump shaft through the shaft hole 431. The impeller body 43 is installed inside the second placement groove 425. Positioning hubs 432 are formed on both sides of the impeller body 43 outside the shaft hole 431. A ring body 433 is formed on one side of the impeller body 43 around the positioning hub 432. A shock-absorbing groove 434 is formed between the positioning hub 432 and the ring body 433. The shock-absorbing groove 434 buffers the direct impact force of the pump shaft on the impeller body 43.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a packing seat 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the outlet seat 2. An outlet bearing seat 9 and an outlet pressure flange 10 are fixedly connected to one side of the packing seat 8. The outlet bearing seat 9 covers the outside of the outlet pressure flange 10, ensuring the sealing and stability of the outlet end of the pump shaft 3. An inlet pressure flange 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the inlet seat 1. The inlet pressure flange 6 is connected to the pump shaft 3. An inlet bearing seat 7 is also fixedly connected to the outside of the inlet seat 1, providing stable support for the rotation of the pump shaft 3.
[0022] To elaborate further, such as Figure 4 As shown, a reinforcing protrusion 426 is formed on one side of the guide vane 424, which enhances the structural strength of the guide vane 424, improves its impact resistance and fatigue resistance, and extends the service life of the guide vane 42.
[0023] To elaborate further, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the inlet seat 1 and the outlet seat 2 each have several front mounting seats 11 and rear mounting seats 21. The front mounting seats 11 and the rear mounting seats 21 are fixedly installed by tightening long bolts 5. This structure makes the overall structure of the multi-stage pump more stable.
[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During operation, the liquid enters the multi-stage pump from the inlet seat 1 and flows to the multi-stage impeller assembly 4 through the inlet side pressure flange 6 and the inlet bearing seat 7. In the multi-stage impeller assembly 4, the liquid gains energy through the action of the impeller body 43 in sequence, and then flows to the subsequent impeller body 43 for further pressurization through the guide block 421, guide hole 422 and guide channel 423 of the guide vane 42. Finally, it is discharged through the outlet seat 2. The vibration damping groove 434 on the impeller body 43 can reduce the vibration and noise of the pump during operation and improve the operation stability and reliability of the pump.
