Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Centrifugal pumps, as a common fluid transport device, are widely used in various fields such as industry, agriculture, and construction. The impeller is the core component of a centrifugal pump, and its performance directly affects key indicators such as the pump's efficiency, head, and cavitation resistance.
[0003] Traditional centrifugal pump impellers typically employ a single-suction design, meaning they have only one suction port and one set of blades. This design allows fluid to enter from only one side of the impeller, resulting in uneven force distribution on both sides, which can easily lead to vibration and noise. It also limits the flow rate and head of the centrifugal pump. Furthermore, when pumping fluids containing impurities or particles, single-suction impellers are prone to clogging, affecting the normal operation of the centrifugal pump. Utility Model Content

The upper water intake port is located on the side of the impeller body, and the upper baffle plate is located inside the upper water intake port and connected to the impeller body.
[0007] The lower suction assembly includes a lower blade, a lower suction port, and a lower baffle. The lower blade is connected to the impeller body and the hub, respectively. The lower suction port is located on the side of the impeller body, and the lower baffle is located inside the lower suction port and connected to the impeller body.
