[0010] Hereinafter, a flow guide member 14 and a pump device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG. FIG. 1 is a side view showing the configuration of a pump device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, with the configuration of a pump 13 shown in cross section; FIG. 2 is a side view showing the configuration of a pump device 1, with the configuration of a casing 21 of pump 13 shown in partial cross section; and FIG. 3 is a side view showing the configuration of an impeller 22 of pump 13 shown in partial cross section.

[0011] The flow straightening member 14 used in the pump device 1 is provided on the primary side of the impeller 22 of the pump device 1, and straightens the flow in part of the flow path to the impeller 22 by means of flow straightening plates 31 the number of which is the same as the number of blades 27 of the impeller 22.

[0012] An example of a pump device 1 according to the first embodiment will be described. The pump device 1 includes a motor 11, a rotating shaft 12, a pump 13, and a flow straightening member 14. The pump device 1 also includes, for example, a pressure sensor 15 that detects the discharge pressure of the pump 13, and a flow rate sensor 16 that detects the discharge flow rate of the pump 13.

[0013] The pump device 1 pumps water as a fluid by a pump 13. The pump device 1 may be either a horizontal axis pump or a vertical axis pump. The pump device 1 may be a single-stage pump having one impeller 22, or a multi-stage pump having multiple impellers 22. The pump device 1 may be a jet pump equipped with a jet pipe having a nozzle and a diffuser on the primary side. The pump device 1 shown in Figs. 1 to 3 will be described as an example of a horizontal axis pump having a single stage and a jet pipe connected to the primary side.

[0014] The motor 11 has, for example, a casing 11a, a stator, and a rotor. The motor 11 is, for example, connected to a control panel and is variable speed controlled by an inverter or the like. The motor 11 may be configured to rotate at a constant speed as a constant speed control.

[0015] The rotating shaft 12 is, for example, connected to a rotor of the motor 11, or connected via a shaft coupling to a motor shaft fixed to the rotor of the motor 11. The rotating shaft 12 can have an impeller 22 fixed thereto. The rotating shaft 12 rotates in conjunction with the driving of the motor 11, thereby rotating the fixed impeller 22.

[0016] The pump 13 includes a casing 21 and an impeller 22. The casing 21 houses the impeller 22. The casing 21 has a suction port 21a, a pump chamber 21b, and a discharge port 21c. The casing 21 also has a pressure pipe connection port 21d for connecting a pressure pipe of a jet pipe, for example. The casing 21 also has a guide vane 21e for housing the impeller 22, for example. The casing 21 may not have the guide vane 21e.

[0017] The suction port 21a is a cylindrical opening, and is formed so that a pipe or the like can be connected. The inner diameter of the suction port 21a is the same diameter or gradually decreases from the primary side toward the secondary side, which is the impeller 22 side. For example, the inner diameter of the suction port 21a on at least the secondary side is the same diameter as the aperture diameter of the impeller 22 or is slightly larger. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, an example is shown in which the suction port 21a decreases in diameter from the primary side toward the secondary side, and is formed to have the same diameter as the aperture diameter of the impeller 22 at the open end on the secondary side.

[0018] The impeller 22 has, for example, a rear shroud 25 fixed to the rotating shaft 12, a front shroud 26 facing the rear shroud 25 and having a mouth 26a that draws water into the interior, and a plurality of blades 27 provided between the rear shroud 25 and the front shroud 26.

[0019] The blades 27 are curved, for example, with a predetermined radius of curvature. As a specific example, the blades 27 extend from the opposing surfaces of the rear shroud 25 and the front shroud 26 along the axial direction of the impeller 22, and are curved in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the impeller 22. The curved shape of the blades 27 can be appropriately set according to the required performance of the pump 13, etc.

[0020] The blades 27 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and the interval between adjacent blades 27 in the circumferential direction gradually increases from the center side of the impeller 22 toward the radially outward side. The blades 27 are set at a predetermined inlet angle at the mouth 26a of the front shroud 26. For example, six blades 27 are provided.

[0021] The flow straightening member 14 has a plurality of flow straightening vanes 31 formed in a plate shape, and a cylindrical portion 32 integrally formed with the plurality of flow straightening vanes 31. The flow straightening member 14 is provided on the primary side of the impeller 22 in a flow path to the impeller 22 of the pump 13. The flow straightening member 14 may be provided integrally with the pump 13, or may be provided separately from the pump 13.

[0022] That is, the straightening member 14 may be configured to be integral with a part of the casing 21 of the pump 13, or may be configured to be separate from the casing 21 and fixed to the casing 21 so as to be integral with it, or may be configured to be integral with a connecting member connected to the casing 21, or may be configured to be separate from the connecting member connected to the casing 21 and fixed to the casing 21 so as to be integral with it.

[0023] Here, examples of the connection members connected to the casing 21 include piping, a suction pipe of a jet pipe, a nozzle, a diffuser, etc. Furthermore, such connection members may be configured to be directly connected to the casing 21, or may be configured to be connected to the casing via piping, etc.

[0024] In the present embodiment, the straightening member 14 will be described as being formed integrally with the casing 21 to form a straightening structure together with the casing 21. For this reason, the tubular portion 32 of the straightening member 14 is configured by the suction port 21a.

[0025] The straightening vanes 31 are formed, for example, in the shape of a rectangular plate with the same thickness. The surface direction of the straightening vanes 31 is along the axial direction of the suction port 21a or is inclined with respect to the axial direction and is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the suction port 21a, which is the cylindrical portion 32. The straightening vanes 31 are provided in the same number as the plurality of blades 27 of the impeller 22.

[0026] As a specific example, a plurality of straightening plates 31 are arranged on the inner peripheral surface of suction port 21a at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, with the main surface direction aligned along the longitudinal direction of suction port 21a. Also, for example, straightening plate 31 extends from the inner peripheral surface of suction port 21a along the radial direction of suction port 21a, and also extends along the axial direction of suction port 21a between one end side and the other end side in the axial direction of suction port 21a. That is, the end of straightening plate 31 on the center side of suction port 21a extends linearly along the axial direction of suction port 21a.

[0027] The straightening plate 31 is provided radially outward from the center of the suction port 21a (or the connection member) where the straightening member 14 is provided, at a distance of 50% of the diameter of the suction port 21a. The 50% diameter is indicated by D in FIG. 2. In other words, the end of the straightening plate 31 on the center side of the suction port 21a is disposed at a position ¼ or less of the diameter of the suction port 21a from the inner peripheral surface of the suction port 21a. Therefore, as in this embodiment, the straightening plate 31, whose main surface direction is disposed along the radial and axial directions of the suction port 21a, has a height from the inner peripheral surface of the suction port 21a set to ¼ or less of the diameter of the suction port 21a.

[0028] The straightening vane 31 has chamfered portions 31a formed in a semicircular, curved or linear chamfered shape, for example, at least at the end of the primary side of the suction port 21a and at the corners at the end of the suction port 21a in the radial direction, preferably at the corners and corners that contact the flow channel of the straightening vane 31. That is, the straightening vane 31 has chamfered portions 31a in a curved or flat shape or the like that suppresses obstruction of the flow of water at least at the water contact surface at the tip in the water flow direction that contacts the flow channel through which water flows, preferably at the water contact surface that is the end that contacts the flow channel.

[0029] According to the pump device 1 configured in this manner, by providing a plurality of straightening plates 31 as a straightening member (straightening structure) 14 on the inner surface of the suction port 21a, which is the cylindrical portion 32, the flow of water sucked into the impeller 22 can be straightened.

[0030] That is, the straightening member 14 is configured to have the same number of straightening plates 31 as the blades 27 on the primary side of the impeller 22, which allows water to smoothly flow from the mouth 26a of the impeller 22 into spaces between adjacent blades 27. Therefore, the straightening member 14 can reduce loss and achieve quiet operation even when the water flow is fast.

[0031] In addition, by positioning these straightening plates 31 in the straightening member 14 radially outward of 50% of the minimum flow diameter of the tubular portion 32 (suction port 21a) in which the straightening plates 31 are provided, the flow of water between adjacent blades 27 of the impeller 22 can be made smoother.

[0032] Furthermore, since the current vane 31 has the chamfered portion 31a, the water flow can be guided at the water contact surface of the current vane 31, so that loss can be reduced as much as possible.

[0033] As described above, according to the flow straightening member 14 and the pump device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, even when the flow velocity is high, it is possible to reduce loss.

[0034] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. Other embodiments of the present invention will be described below. In the other embodiments described below, the same components as those in the above-described embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. In addition, in each drawing, components such as the motor 11, pressure sensor 15, and flow rate sensor 16 are omitted as appropriate.

[0035] For example, in the above example, the straightening vane 31 is positioned radially outward from a diameter that is 50% of the minimum flow diameter, and an example is described in which the straightening vane 31 extends radially from the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion 32, but this is not limited to this.

[0036] For example, as in a pump device 1 having a straightening member 14 according to a second embodiment shown in Figures 4 and 5, the suction port 21a, which is the cylindrical portion 32, may gradually decrease in diameter from the primary side to the secondary side in the flow direction, and the radial tip of the straightening plate 31 may be set at a height that is the same as the minimum flow diameter of the suction port 21a.

[0037] Such a straightening plate 31 is formed in a triangular plate shape rather than a rectangular plate shape, and is set to a shape that is inclined from the inner peripheral surface side of the suction port 21a. That is, the straightening plate 31 is inclined from the primary side toward the secondary side, with the radially outward side inclined toward the center of the suction port 21a.

[0038] The straightening member 14 according to the second embodiment has the same effect as the straightening member 14 according to the first embodiment. As shown in Fig. 5, the straightening plate 31 may be configured not to have chamfered portions 31a at the corners of the primary side and the secondary side. As shown in Fig. 5, the straightening plate 31 may be configured to have curved or flat chamfered portions 31a at the corners between both main surfaces and the tip surface in the radial direction.

[0039] In the above example, the straightening member 14 has a shape in which the plurality of straightening plates 31 extend along the axial direction, but is not limited thereto. For example, like the straightening member 14 of the pump device 1 according to the third embodiment shown in Fig. 6, the plurality of straightening plates 31 may be configured to have a shape that is the same as or an angle close to the shape of the plurality of blades 27 of the impeller 22, that is, the inlet angle of the plurality of blades 27. The straightening plate 31 may be flat or curved like the impeller 22.

[0040] In other words, the plurality of straightening vanes 31 are arranged to be inclined with respect to the radial direction of the tubular portion 32 (suction port 21a) of the blade 27 at the same angle as the inclination angle of the mouth 26a with respect to the radial direction of the impeller 22. The angle is, for example, the angle of the tangent of the blade 27. By forming the plurality of straightening vanes 31 of the impeller 22 in such a shape, the flow of water that has passed through the plurality of straightening vanes 31 is similar to the flow of water sucked from the mouth 26a of the impeller 22, so that the water flows more smoothly into the impeller 22. As shown in FIG. 6, the straightening vane 31 may be configured to have a curved tip without having chamfered portions 31a at the corners between both main surfaces and the tip surface in the radial direction.

[0041] In the above example, the blades 27 of the impeller 22 extend in the axial direction from the main surfaces of the rear shroud 25 and the front shroud 26, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the configurations of the pump 13 of the pump device 1 of the fourth embodiment are shown in Figs. 7 and 8. As shown in Fig. 8, the blades 27 may have a so-called three-dimensional structure in which a part or all of the blades 27 extend at an incline with respect to the axial direction. In Fig. 8, the front shroud 26 is omitted and only the impeller 22 is shown. In the case of the blades 27 having a three-dimensional structure as shown in Fig. 8, the plurality of straightening vanes 31 may have a shape inclined with respect to the radial direction and the axial direction so as to have the same shape as the inlet angle of the blades 27, as shown in Fig. 7.

[0042] In the above example, the straightening plate 31 has the same plate thickness, but is not limited thereto. For example, the straightening plate 31 may have a shape in which the plate thickness gradually changes from one side to the other side in the water flow direction. For example, FIG. 9 shows a cross-sectional view of the straightening plate 31 of the straightening member 14 according to the fifth embodiment. As shown in the first example of FIG. 9, the straightening plate 31 may have a configuration in which the thickness of the primary side in the water flow direction is smaller than the thickness of the secondary side, or as shown in the second example of FIG. 9, the straightening plate 31 may have a configuration in which the thickness of the primary side in the water flow direction is larger than the thickness of the secondary side.

[0043] For example, when the inner diameter of the suction port 21a is gradually reduced, the thickness of the straightening vane 31 can be appropriately set depending on the diameter of the suction port 21a and the diameter of the mouth 26a of the impeller 22, such as by configuring the width of the primary side in the water flow direction to be smaller than the width of the secondary side as shown in the first example of Fig. 9. Note that the straightening vane 31 may be configured such that the end of the primary side and the end of the secondary side are curved, as shown in Fig. 9.

[0044] In the above example, the straightening member 14 is configured such that the suction port 21a of the casing 21 is the cylindrical portion 32 and a plurality of straightening plates 31 are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the suction port 21a, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0045] For example, as shown in a sixth embodiment in Fig. 10 and Fig. 11, the tubular portion 32 may be a cylindrical member, and a plurality of straightening plates 31 may be provided on the inner peripheral surface of the tubular portion 32. The straightening member 14 may be configured such that the tubular portion 32 provided with the straightening plates 31 is fixed to the suction port 21a, or may be configured to be fixed to the guide vane 21e as shown in Fig. 11. With such a configuration, the straightening member 14 can be selectively attached to the casing 21. As shown in Figs. 10 and 11, the straightening plate 31 may not have a chamfered portion 31a.

[0046] In the above example, the straightening member 14 is disposed in the pump 13, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the above example, the pump device 1 may be a jet pump having a jet pipe on the primary side, but the straightening member 14 may be provided in at least one of a nozzle and a diffuser used in the jet pipe, for example.

[0047] Specifically, an example of a pump device 1 according to the seventh embodiment and a connecting member provided to the pump device 1, that is, a jet tube 2 provided with a flow straightening member 14, will be described with reference to Figures 12 to 16. Note that the pump device 1 to which the jet tube 2 is connected is the pump device 1 of each of the above-mentioned embodiments, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0048] The pump device 1 includes a motor 11, a rotating shaft 12, a pump 13, and a jet tube 2. The pump 13 may include a flow straightening member 14 as in the above-described embodiments, or may not include the flow straightening member 14. The pump device 1, which is such a jet pump, includes a pressure control valve.

[0049] The jet pipe 2 includes a suction pipe 41, a pressure pipe 42, a junction pipe 43, a check valve 44, a nozzle 45, and a diffuser 46. The jet pipe 2 has a flow straightening member 14 in at least one of the nozzle 45 and the diffuser 46. In this embodiment, a configuration in which the flow straightening member 14 is provided in both the nozzle 45 and the diffuser 46 will be described. For ease of explanation, the flow straightening member 14 provided in the nozzle 45 will be referred to as a nozzle flow straightening member 14A, and the flow straightening member 14 provided in the diffuser 46 will be referred to as a diffuser flow straightening member 14B in the following description.

[0050] The suction pipe 41 is connected to the suction port 21a of the pump 13. The pressure pipe 42 is connected to the pressure pipe connection port 21d of the pump 13.

[0051] The junction pipe 43 has an upper end connected to the suction pipe 41 and the pressure pipe 42. The junction pipe 43 has an opening 43a at its lower end that opens to the water supply source, and is provided with a strainer 43b fixed to the opening 43a. The junction pipe 43 also has a suction passage section 43c that connects the opening 43a to the suction pipe 41, and a junction passage section 43d that connects the middle of the suction passage section 43c to the pressure pipe 42. The junction pipe 43 also holds a diffuser 46 in the suction passage section 43c on the secondary side (suction pipe 41 side) of the junction passage section 43d. The junction pipe 43 is also connected to the secondary side of the junction passage section 43d, and a nozzle 45 is arranged on the primary side of the diffuser 46 provided in the suction passage section 43c.

[0052] The check valve 44 prevents backflow of water from the primary side to the secondary side. The check valve 44 is disposed in the suction passage portion 43c on the primary side (the opening 43a side) of the junction passage portion 43d of the junction pipe 43.

[0053] As shown in Figures 12 and 14, the nozzle 45 has an inner diameter that decreases from the end on the junction flow path section 43d side toward the tip. As shown in Figures 12 and 16, the diffuser 46 has the tip of the nozzle 45 disposed within an opening at the end on the primary side. The diffuser 46 decreases in diameter, for example, at one end on the primary side where the nozzle 45 is disposed, and gradually increases in diameter from the decreased diameter portion toward the secondary side, which is the suction pipe 41 side.

[0054] 12 to 14, the nozzle flow straightening member 14A has a plurality of plate-shaped flow straightening plates 31. In the nozzle flow straightening member 14A, for example, the nozzle 45 constitutes the cylindrical portion 32. In other words, the nozzle 45 has a plurality of flow straightening plates 31 on its inner circumferential surface.

[0055] 12, 15, and 16, the diffuser straightening member 14B has a plurality of plate-shaped straightening plates 31. In the diffuser straightening member 14B, for example, the diffuser 46 forms the cylindrical portion 32. In other words, the diffuser 46 has a plurality of straightening plates 31 on its inner circumferential surface.

[0056] In a pump device 1 having such a jet pipe 2, the pump 13 draws in water from a water source such as a well via the junction pipe 43 and the suction pipe 41, and then returns a portion of the pressurized water from the pressure pipe connection port 21d through the pressure pipe 42 to the junction pipe 43, and discharges it from a nozzle 45 connected to the junction flow path section 43d of the junction pipe 43 toward a diffuser 46.

[0057] At this time, the area around the nozzle 45 in the junction pipe 43 is under negative pressure, so that the water sucked in through the strainer 43b of the junction pipe 43 and flowing through the suction passage section 43c and the water flowing through the junction passage section 43d and discharged from the nozzle 45 join on the primary side of the diffuser 46 and flow into the diffuser 46. The diffuser 46 converts the kinetic energy of the flowing water into pressure energy. The water that has flowed through the diffuser 46 passes through the suction pipe 41 and is supplied to the impeller 22 from the suction port 21a of the pump 13.

[0058] In addition, the water passing through the nozzle 45 and the diffuser 46 is rectified by the plurality of rectifying plates 31 provided thereon. Therefore, the pump device 1 having the rectifying member 14 in the jet tube 2 achieves the same effects as the pump device 1 of each of the above-described embodiments.

[0059] In the above-mentioned example, the straightening member 14 is disposed in the pump 13 or the jet pipe 2, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as in the pump device 1 according to the eighth embodiment shown in FIG. 17, the pipe 51 connected to the suction port 21a may be a cylindrical portion 32, and a plurality of straightening plates 31 may be provided on this pipe 51. Also, this pipe 51 may be used as the suction pipe of the jet pipe 2. Also, as shown in FIG. 17, the pump 13 of the pump device 1 may be a multi-stage pump having a plurality of impellers 22.

[0060] In the above-mentioned example, the configuration in which the straightening member 14 has a plurality of straightening plates 31 has been described, but the plurality of straightening plates 31 may have the same shape as in the above-mentioned examples, or may be configured by arranging straightening plates 31A and 31B of different shapes at equal intervals as in the pump device 1 according to the ninth embodiment shown in Fig. 18. In Fig. 18, the straightening plate 31A shows an example of the straightening plate 31 according to the first embodiment, and the straightening plate 31B shows an example of the straightening plate 31 according to the second embodiment, but the present invention is not limited thereto and can be appropriately set.

[0061] In the above example, the pump device 1 is configured such that the pressure sensor 15 and the flow sensor 16 are arranged at different positions, but this is not limited to this. For example, 15 in FIG. 2 may be a pressure-controlled valve, and 16 in FIG. 2 may be a so-called integrated pressure and flow sensor in which the pressure sensor and the flow sensor are arranged at the same position.
