Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of impeller technology, and in particular to a cast iron pump impeller with curved flow guidance. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of fluid transportation, cast iron pumps are key equipment and are widely used in many scenarios such as industry, agriculture, and municipal administration. Their performance directly affects the system's operating efficiency, energy consumption, and stability. As the core component of cast iron pumps, the design and structure of the impeller plays a decisive role in the overall performance of the pump.
[0003] Traditional cast iron pump impellers have relatively smooth and flat blade surfaces during long-term use, lacking effective flow guiding structures. When fluid enters the impeller and flows on the blade surface, due to the boundary layer effect, a large frictional resistance is generated between the fluid and the blade surface. This frictional resistance not only consumes the fluid's energy, leading to a reduction in pump head and flow rate, but also causes the fluid to form a turbulent flow state on the blade surface, increasing energy loss and thus reducing the pump's hydraulic efficiency. Therefore, we propose a cast iron pump impeller with curved flow guiding. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a cast iron pump impeller with curved flow guidance. This invention can solve the problem that in the long-term use of traditional cast iron pump impellers, the impeller blade surface is relatively smooth and flat, lacking an effective flow guidance structure. When the fluid enters the impeller and flows on the blade surface, due to the boundary layer effect, a large frictional resistance is generated between the fluid and the blade surface. This frictional resistance not only consumes the fluid's energy, leading to a reduction in the pump's head and flow rate, but also causes the fluid to form a turbulent flow state on the blade surface, increasing energy loss and thus reducing the pump's hydraulic efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cast iron pump impeller with curved flow guidance, comprising:
[0006] The support cylinder, the front cover plate, and the rear cover plate are fixedly connected to the top of the front cover plate and the rear cover plate is fixedly connected to the top of the support cylinder.
[0007] Multiple blades are fixedly connected to the top of the front cover plate, and guide channels are provided between the multiple blades. Multiple guide grooves are opened on the outer surface of the multiple blades, and multiple guide strips are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the multiple blades. A shaft hole two is opened inside the support cylinder. A shaft hole one communicating with the inside of shaft hole two is opened on both the front cover plate and the rear cover plate. Multiple threaded holes are opened on the side of the rear cover plate away from the front cover plate.
[0008] Preferably, a fixing seat is fixedly connected to the side of the rear cover plate away from the front cover plate, and the fixing seat is located outside of multiple threaded holes.
[0009] Preferably, the cross-sections of the plurality of guide grooves and the plurality of guide strips are all "V" shaped structures.
[0010] Preferably, the rear cover plate has a tapered structure on the side away from the front cover plate.
[0011] Preferably, the plurality of blades are arranged in a circular array on the front cover plate.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. This curved-surface guide cast iron pump impeller, through the guide grooves and fixed guide strips on the outer surface of the blades, can change the flow state of the fluid on the blade surface. During the fluid flow process, the guide grooves and guide strips guide and organize the fluid, reducing the frictional resistance between the fluid and the blade surface, allowing the fluid to flow more smoothly along the blade surface. At the same time, this special "V" shaped structure can disrupt the fluid boundary layer, reduce boundary layer separation, and make the fluid form a more stable and orderly flow inside the impeller, that is, in the guide channels between multiple blades, thereby effectively improving the fluid flow efficiency and significantly improving the pump's hydraulic efficiency.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cast iron pump impeller with curved flow guidance, comprising:
[0026] The support cylinder 6, the front cover plate 1, and the rear cover plate 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the front cover plate 1 and the rear cover plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the support cylinder 6.
[0027] Multiple blades 3 are fixedly connected to the top of the front cover plate 1. A guide channel 10 is provided between the multiple blades 3. Multiple guide grooves 8 are opened on the outer surface of the multiple blades 3. Multiple guide strips 7 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the multiple blades 3. A shaft hole 2 11 is opened inside the support cylinder 6. A shaft hole 1 5 communicating with the inside of the shaft hole 2 11 is opened on both the front cover plate 1 and the rear cover plate 2. Multiple threaded holes 9 are opened on the side of the rear cover plate 2 away from the front cover plate 1.
[0028] A fixing seat 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the rear cover plate 2 away from the front cover plate 1. The fixing seat 4 is located outside of multiple threaded holes 9. The cross-sections of multiple guide grooves 8 and multiple guide strips 7 are all "V" shaped structures. The side of the rear cover plate 2 away from the front cover plate 1 has a conical structure. Multiple blades 3 are arranged in a circular array on the front cover plate 1.
[0029] Furthermore, when using this device, as the impeller rotates at high speed driven by the pump shaft, the fluid enters from the impeller inlet. Multiple blades 3 are arranged in a circular array on the front cover plate 1. The guide channels 10 between the blades 3 provide a flow channel for the fluid. After the fluid enters the guide channels 10, the multiple "V"-shaped cross-section guide grooves 8 and the multiple fixed "V"-shaped cross-section guide strips 7 on the outer surface of the blades 3 begin to function. The "V"-shaped guide grooves 8 and guide strips 7 can change the flow state of the fluid on the surface of the blades 3. During the fluid flow process, the guide grooves 8 and guide strips 7 guide and comb the fluid, reducing the frictional resistance between the fluid and the surface of the blades 3, allowing the fluid to flow more smoothly along the surface of the blades 3. At the same time, this special structure can disrupt the fluid boundary layer, reduce boundary layer separation, and make the fluid form a more stable and orderly flow inside the impeller, thereby improving the fluid flow efficiency.
[0030] By using the guide grooves 8 and fixed guide strips 7 on the outer surface of the blades 3, the flow state of the fluid on the surface of the blades 3 can be changed. During the fluid flow process, the guide grooves 8 and guide strips 7 guide and organize the fluid, reduce the frictional resistance between the fluid and the surface of the blades 3, and enable the fluid to flow more smoothly along the surface of the blades 3. At the same time, this special "V" shaped structure can disrupt the fluid boundary layer and reduce the boundary layer separation phenomenon, so that the fluid forms a more stable and orderly flow inside the impeller, that is, in the guide channel 10 between multiple blades 3, thereby effectively improving the fluid flow efficiency and significantly improving the hydraulic efficiency of the pump.
