Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of multistage pump technology, and in particular to a double-casing multistage pump with guide vanes and volutes suitable for the petrochemical, coal chemical, clean energy and food industries. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the structure of a horizontal double-casing multistage pump mainly consists of a cylindrical body, pump cover, rotor, inner casing, balancing mechanism, bearings, and sealing components. When the pump starts, the liquid is thrown out of the impeller and into the inner casing by the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the impeller. Inside the inner casing, the liquid velocity decreases, and some kinetic energy is converted into pressure energy. The liquid then flows into the next impeller, and so on, stage by stage. The liquid continuously gains energy from the impellers, the pressure gradually increases, and finally, it is discharged from the pump outlet, achieving continuous liquid transfer. However, existing multistage pumps suffer from increased energy loss due to the complex flow path of the liquid within the inner casing, leading to increased flow resistance and reduced pump efficiency. Furthermore, the complex structure of some parts in double-casing multistage pumps makes installation, maintenance, and disassembly cumbersome, increasing maintenance costs and downtime.
[0003] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, it is necessary to study and design a new type of guide vane and volute combined double-casing multistage pump to overcome the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the technical problems of low efficiency, limited application range, and difficult disassembly and assembly of existing pumps, this invention provides a double-casing multistage pump with a guide vane and volute combination. This invention primarily utilizes a flow-channel guide vane and volute combination structure and a split-segment structure for components such as the guide vane, retaining ring, and intermediate bushing, thereby improving pump efficiency and reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
[0005] The technical means adopted in this utility model are as follows:
[0006] A multistage pump with a guide vane and volute combination, comprising: a cylindrical body; the cylindrical body and the pump cover are connected by studs A, nuts A, and gaskets A, and sealed by a spiral wound gasket A; a throttling bushing and a throttling shaft sleeve are provided between the pump cover and the shaft; a sealing assembly and a bearing assembly are respectively assembled on the outside of the pump cover by studs C and D; the cylindrical body and the sealing housing are connected by studs B, nuts B, and gaskets B, and sealed by a spiral wound gasket B; the pump cover is connected and positioned to the inner housing by screws A; throat bushings are respectively assembled on the pump cover and the sealing housing by screws B;
[0007] Furthermore, guide vanes are provided inside the inner shell to form the inner shell component;
[0008] Furthermore, the guide vane and the inner housing are positioned by a cylindrical pin A; the guide vane on the drive side is fitted with a first-stage body mouth ring and a second-stage body mouth ring between it and the shaft; the guide vane on the non-drive side is fitted with a non-drive body mouth ring and a second-stage body mouth ring between it and the shaft.
[0009] Furthermore, an intermediate bushing is fitted into the anti-rotation groove inside the inner housing via a cylindrical pin B; an intermediate bushing is fitted between the intermediate bushing and the shaft.
[0010] Furthermore, an impeller is provided between the guide vanes. To prevent it from falling off the shaft during installation, a retaining ring is needed to limit the impeller during installation.
[0011] Furthermore, the inner shell has a horizontally split structure;
[0012] Furthermore, the guide vanes are flow channel type, resulting in minimal hydraulic loss.
[0013] Furthermore, the guide vane, intermediate bushing, and secondary body mouth ring all adopt a split structure, which is more conducive to disassembly and assembly.
[0014] Furthermore, the retaining ring, intermediate bushing, and throttling bushing are all tightly fitted to the shaft through the fitting clearance.
[0015] Furthermore, the impeller includes: a non-drive end secondary impeller, a non-drive end final stage impeller, a drive end final stage impeller, a drive end secondary impeller, and a first stage impeller;
[0016] Furthermore, the non-drive end secondary impeller, the non-drive end final stage impeller and the drive end final stage impeller, and the drive end secondary impeller are arranged symmetrically, so it can be approximately assumed that the axial forces acting on the impellers can cancel each other out.
[0017] Furthermore, the intermediate bushing and throat bushing can balance some of the residual axial forces.
[0018] Furthermore, the cylinder, pump cover, and sealing housing all adopt a forging and welded structure, making the pump safe and reliable in operation.
[0019] The assembly process of the inner shell component of this utility model is as follows:
[0020] First, install the non-drive end impeller, non-drive end secondary impeller, drive end end impeller, drive end secondary impeller, and retaining ring sequentially onto the shaft. Then, install the split guide vanes and the lower half of the secondary body ring into the lower half of the inner casing. Next, install the rotor assembly, consisting of the non-drive end impeller, non-drive end secondary impeller, drive end end impeller, drive end secondary impeller, retaining ring, and shaft, into the lower half of the inner casing 8. Then, install the split guide vanes and secondary body ring from the upper half sequentially. Finally, assemble the upper half of the inner casing 8.
[0021] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0022] The medium enters the first-stage impeller from the pump inlet. The high-speed rotation of the first-stage impeller increases its kinetic energy. The medium flows out of the first-stage impeller and enters the guide vanes. The guide vanes convert the kinetic energy into pressure energy. The medium flows into the volute in a specified direction. The volute further ensures that the medium flows smoothly into the next stage impeller. After circulating through multiple stages of pressurization, the medium is finally discharged from the pump outlet.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0024] 1. The guide vane and volute combined double-casing multistage pump provided by this utility model has a structure of forging and welding for the cylinder component, pump cover component and sealing box component, which is safe and reliable in operation;
[0025] 2. The guide vane and volute combined double-casing multistage pump provided by this utility model has a rotor component and impeller arranged back to back, which can balance most of the axial thrust. The thrust bearing only needs to bear a small part of the thrust, so the bearing life is longer.
[0026] 3. The guide vane and volute combined double-casing multistage pump provided by this utility model adopts a guide vane and volute combined structure for the inner casing component, eliminating the volute flow channel design, which is convenient for casting and processing.
[0027] 4. The guide vane and volute combined double-casing multistage pump provided by this utility model has a flow channel guide vane with a split structure inside the volute. The flow channel guide vane has low hydraulic loss, which can improve the pump efficiency, and the split structure is more conducive to disassembly and assembly.
[0028] 5. The guide vane and volute combined double-casing multistage pump provided by this utility model allows for the replacement of individual guide vanes.
[0029] 6. The guide vane and volute combination double-casing multistage pump provided by this utility model improves efficiency and reduces energy loss;
[0030] 7. The guide vane and volute combination double-casing multistage pump provided by this utility model is suitable for different flow and pressure conditions and has a wide range of applications.
