Description

A centrifugal pump radial seal ring with flat guide vanes

technical field

The invention relates to a centrifugal pump structure in the field of fluid machinery, in particular to a centrifugal pump sealing device installed in the gap between the volute and the impeller to prevent fluid leakage between the volute and the impeller.

Background technique

A centrifugal pump is a typical blade-type fluid machine. Its working principle is to drive the impeller to rotate through the prime mover to do work on the fluid, and convert the mechanical energy into the kinetic energy and pressure energy of the fluid, so as to realize the transportation of the fluid. The work process of the impeller of the centrifugal pump is inevitably accompanied by energy loss. The energy loss is mainly divided into three types: flow loss, volume loss and disc friction loss. Among them, the volume loss refers to the flow loss caused by the leakage between the impeller rotation and the casing. The leakage is related to the pressure difference acting on both ends of the gap and the structure of the gap. Therefore, a sealing device should be installed at the position where the leakage occurs. At present, there are two commonly used sealing methods between the volute and the impeller: one is to set the leakage gap between the mouth ring and the impeller in a small range; the other is to use a labyrinth seal by setting a complex sealing structure. However, when the gap is set to be small, the wear is serious, and the stability will be deteriorated, and an overly complicated sealing structure is not conducive to processing and assembly.

At present, in order to solve a series of problems such as severe wear and difficult assembly caused by reducing the gap, a non-contact sealing structure that can ensure good sealing performance under a large gap has been proposed. For example, Chinese patent application number 201420065364.3 proposes a high-efficiency centrifugal pump with impeller with non-contact sealing function. The annular impeller seal ring extending on both sides of the impeller and the pump body built into the pump body match the impeller seal ring. Threads are machined on the inner surface of the wear-resistant ring to reduce or prevent the leakage at the radial gap of the impeller seal ring. Affect the hydraulic performance of the impeller; thread seals will wear during use, and once the wear is excessive, the entire impeller needs to be replaced, which will increase maintenance costs.

Contents of the invention

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a radial sealing ring of a centrifugal pump, which uses flat radial guide vanes to generate a flow opposite to the leakage direction to prevent fluid from flowing out from the gap between the volute and the impeller, thereby reducing volume loss. Improve the volumetric efficiency of centrifugal pumps.

In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: the present invention is assembled between the volute and the impeller of the centrifugal pump, and is composed of a disc and radial guide vanes, and is evenly fixed along the circumferential direction on one side of the disc. A plurality of radial guide vanes are arranged, and each radial guide vane is a flat plate perpendicular to the disk surface.

Further, the disc is fixedly connected to the volute, and the radial guide vane faces the impeller and maintains an axial gap of Δ=0.5-1 mm with the end surface of the front cover plate of the impeller.

Further, the radius r of the inner ring of the disk is 1/2 of the diameter at the inlet of the impeller, the radius R of the outer ring is 1.5-2 times the radius r, and the axial height b is 0.25-0.35 times the radius r.

Further, the number of radial guide vanes is one more than the number of blades of the impeller.

Further, the inner end surface and the outer end surface of each radial guide vane are circular arc surfaces, the outer end surface shares a cylindrical surface with the outer ring of the disk, and the inner end surface shares a cylindrical surface with the inner ring of the disk.

Further, the tangential thickness c of each radial guide vane is 0.05-0.08 times the radius r, the axial height h is 0.15-0.2 times the radius r, and the outlet placement angle β is 60°-70°.

The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

1. The present invention is a sealing ring based on a radial guide mechanism. When the centrifugal pump impeller rotates, the liquid between the impeller and the volute is driven to rotate, and the rotating liquid generates directional flow under the induction of fixed radial guide vanes , the induced direction is opposite to the movement direction of the leaked fluid between the impeller and the volute, so as to prevent the fluid from leaking from the gap between the impeller and the volute. Compared with traditional seals that adopt complex structures and reduce leakage gaps, the present invention uses a seal ring with flat radial guide vanes to induce the leakage fluid to move in reverse, and converts the radial gap in the traditional seal into a shaft seal. The axial gap can ensure the good sealing performance of the centrifugal pump when the large axial gap means that the end face of the front cover plate of the impeller does not contact the disc, and it also has the advantages of convenient implementation and simple replacement.

2. The present invention is a non-contact sealing device, which adopts the radial guide direction, which is equivalent to setting the sealing surface in the radial direction. This sealing method not only increases the sealing surface, but also makes the sealing performance is improved. Under the same circumstances, the present invention can ensure a good sealing performance when the axial gap between the seal ring and the impeller is Δ=0.5-1mm, which not only reduces the difficulty of processing and assembly, but also greatly reduces the wear of the seal ring during use and prolongs the working life of the seal ring. its service life. Under the same circumstances, the allowable value of the maximum clearance of the present invention is greater than that of the traditional sealing ring. When the nominal diameter of the traditional sealing ring is 120-150mm, the allowable value of the gap between the mouth ring and the impeller radial direction is 0.07-0.44mm, and the wear After the maximum allowable value is 0.6mm.

Detailed ways

Referring to Fig. 1-2, the present invention is composed of a disk 1 and radial guide vanes 2, and a central through hole is opened in the middle of the disk 1. A plurality of radial guide vanes 2 are evenly and fixedly arranged along the circumferential direction on one side of the disc 1 , and the radial guide vanes 2 protrude axially from the disc surface of the disc 1 . Each radial guide vane 2 is a flat plate and is perpendicular to the disc surface of the disc 1 . Several countersunk screw holes 3 are processed on the surface of the disc 1 for fixing the disc 1 .

Referring to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the present invention is installed between the volute 4 and the impeller 5 of the centrifugal pump. During installation, the central axis of the disc 1 is required to be in line with the central axis of the impeller 5, and the countersunk screw is inserted into the countersunk screw hole. The disc 1 is fixedly connected to the volute 4 at 3 places, the radial guide vane 2 faces the impeller 5, and the radial guide vane 2 and the end face of the front cover plate of the impeller 5 maintain an axial installation gap of Δ=0.5~1mm, The radial guide vanes 2 are not in contact with the end surface of the front shroud of the impeller 5 .

The radius r of the inner ring of the disc 1 is determined according to the inner diameter of the impeller 5 and the volute 4, the radius r is 1/2 of the diameter at the inlet of the impeller 5, and the radius R of the outer ring of the disc 1 is 1.5~ 2 times, the height b of the disc 1 in the axial direction is 0.25-0.35 times the radius r.

The number of radial guide vanes 2 is determined according to the number of blades of the impeller 5 , which is one more than the number of blades of the impeller 5 .

The inner end surface and the outer end surface of the flat plate of each radial guide vane 2 are circular arc surfaces, and the outer end surface of each radial guide vane 2 is flush with the outer ring of the disc 1, a total cylindrical surface; each radial guide vane The inner end surface of the blade 2 is flush with the inner ring of the disc 1, and they share a cylindrical surface.

The tangential thickness c of each radial guide vane 2 is 0.05 to 0.08 times the radius r, the axial height h is 0.15 to 0.2 times the radius r, and the outlet placement angle β of each radial guide vane 2 is The included angle between the blade surface tangent and the disk 1 clockwise direction tangent is 60°-70°.

When the centrifugal pump works, the prime mover drives the impeller 5 to rotate to do work on the fluid, and convert the mechanical energy into the kinetic energy and pressure energy of the fluid, so as to realize the transportation of the fluid. During this process, most of the liquid will be discharged from the pump outlet, but a small part of liquid will still flow out from the gap between the impeller 5 and the volute 4, resulting in volume loss. Therefore, the present invention is installed between the impeller 5 and the volute 4 to seal. When the impeller 5 rotates, it drives the liquid between the impeller 5 and the volute 4 to rotate, and the rotating liquid generates a directional flow under the pumping of the fixed flat radial guide vane 2, and the pumping direction is the same as that between the impeller 5 and the volute 4. The direction of movement of the leaked fluid between the impellers is opposite, so as to prevent the fluid from leaking from the gap between the impeller 5 and the volute 4 and reduce the volume loss. At the same time, the present invention guarantees the good sealing performance of the centrifugal pump under the condition that the large axial clearance Δ=0.5-1mm, that is, the end surface of the front cover plate of the impeller 5 does not contact the disc 1 .
