Description

Pump structure to reduce hydraulic vibration under eccentric operating conditions Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a pump structure for reducing hydraulic vibration under eccentric operating conditions, and is particularly relevant to pump structures for reducing hydraulic vibration under eccentric operating conditions in industries such as oil refining and petrochemicals. Background Technology

[0002] Due to differences in pump manufacturer selection and actual flow parameters at the user's site, centrifugal pumps often operate under suboptimal conditions at the user's site, failing to reach the rated flow rate specified during selection. Under these suboptimal flow conditions, the pump exhibits abnormal problems such as excessive hydraulic vibration, bearing housing overheating, and low efficiency. Without changing the suboptimal operating conditions, the pump vibration problem is difficult to resolve.

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned existing technologies, it is necessary to study and design a new pump structure to reduce hydraulic vibration under eccentric conditions, thereby overcoming the problems existing in the existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical problems of excessive hydraulic vibration, bearing housing overheating, and low efficiency in centrifugal pumps operating under low flow conditions, this invention provides a pump structure to reduce hydraulic vibration under these conditions. This invention, starting from the pump's hydraulic structure design, modifies the pump's high-efficiency point and allows the impeller to operate over a wider flow range, thereby reducing hydraulic vibration, lowering pump vibration and noise, improving pump efficiency, and preventing abnormal pump operation in the field. The optimized solution is convenient, quick, low-cost, and reliable in use.

[0005] The technical means adopted in this utility model are as follows:

[0006] A pump structure for reducing hydraulic vibration under eccentric operating conditions includes: an impeller and a pump body; the impeller is installed inside the pump body.

[0007] Furthermore, the impeller blades adopt a three-segment edge design at the inlet end, which is more conducive to uniform pressure distribution. CFD analysis shows that the three-segment inlet edge is less sensitive to the inlet angle of attack. Therefore, the three-segment inlet edge design is more suitable for use under extreme operating conditions.

[0008] Furthermore, the three-segment edge design includes: a straight edge of the blade, a beveled edge of the blade, and a rounded end of the blade;

[0009] Furthermore, the straight edges of the blades are designed as inwardly inclined blade bevels on both sides near the blade inlet end.

[0010] Furthermore, the leading edge of the blade's bevel is designed to resemble a rounded blade end.

[0011] Furthermore, the outlet throat of the pump body is equipped with a detachable tongue-and-groove block.

[0012] Furthermore, the detachable tongue-blocking block is detachably mounted to the outlet throat of the pump body via screws.

[0013] Furthermore, the detachable tongue-and-groove block can be replaced with the pump body cut-off block;

[0014] Furthermore, when it is necessary to quickly resolve the hydraulic vibration problem under low flow conditions on-site, the throat tongue of the pump body needs to be removed, a pump body partition block needs to be installed, and the flow area of ​​the pump body throat needs to be adjusted to ultimately solve the vibration problem caused by low flow operation.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. The pump structure for reducing hydraulic vibration under unbalanced operating conditions provided by this utility model changes the optimal working area of ​​the pump through a three-section blade inlet and a detachable pump body tongue block design, thereby reducing the hydraulic vibration of the pump, reducing pump vibration and noise, improving pump efficiency, avoiding abnormal operation of the pump on site, and the optimized solution is convenient, quick, low-cost, and reliable in use.

[0017] 2. The pump structure for reducing hydraulic vibration under unbalanced operating conditions provided by this utility model, through the design of a three-section impeller inlet side and a detachable pump body tongue structure, can adjust the flow range of the preferred working area to about 40% of the original high efficiency point according to the user's required flow rate.

[0018] In summary, the technical solution of this utility model solves the problems of excessive hydraulic vibration, bearing housing overheating, and low efficiency in the prior art when centrifugal pumps operate under low flow conditions. Attached Figure Description

As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0029] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "over," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation besides the orientation of the device as described in the figures.

Through CFD analysis, the three-segment inlet edge is less sensitive to the inlet angle of attack. Therefore, the three-segment inlet edge design is more suitable for use under unbalanced operating conditions.

[0032] The three-segment edge design includes: a straight edge 11, a beveled edge 12, and a rounded end 13; the straight edge 11 is designed with inwardly inclined beveled edges 12 on both sides near the inlet end of the blade 1; the front end of the beveled edge 12 is designed as a rounded end 13.
