Description

Inertia Vacuum Assisted Self-Priming Pump Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of centrifugal pumps, and particularly to an inertia vacuum assisted self-priming pump.
Background
A centrifugal pump is the most common pump conveying liquid from one place to the other place, which is used for irrigation, domestic water systems, sewage treatment and various other applications. Liquid is driven by an impeller located in the volute and then is discharged from the suction sump by the volute through the discharge pipe. A volute suction opening is concentric with the impeller. The rotation of the impeller makes the liquid be outwards thrown to the outer edge of the impeller and centrally discharged from the outlet of the volute. When the liquid is outwards driven, vacuum is produced at the center, so that more liquid is sucked in the pump.
One of the main limitations of the use of the centrifugal pump is that: when the pump is filled with air, the impeller can only drive air to rotate, because the weight of air per unit volume is very light, the generated centrifugal force is very small and often cannot discharge the air in the pump volute and the suction pipe, they have no the capability to self-prime liquid to operate. In the field of general purpose centrifugal pumps, in general, dry mounted centrifugal pumps, except self-priming pumps who having self-priming capabilities, most of them prime water depending on positive pressure, there is a need to install a bottom valve at the end of the suction pipe of centrifugal pumps, and the pump can be started only when water is filled in the pump before start for the first time. For example, in dewatering application, the operation of the pump is discontinuous, so there is a need to repeatedly and continuously fill and refill water into the pump manually. Although being provided with a bottom valve, the pump has the main natural defects that: 1. the bottom valve is cumbersome and is difficult to lift, monitor maintain or repair because of being mounted under liquid; 2. because of being immersed under liquid for a long time, the bottom valve may be easily corroded and then the sealing effect may be affected, and may not operate for a secondary start up; 3. solid particles produced in production and processes may enter into the circulating liquid, the accumulation and adhesion of the solid particles in the bottom valve may prevent the bottom valve from being completely sealed, so that the bottom valve may fail immediately; and 4. because the bottom valve is mounted at the end of the suction pipe, the bottom valve may affect the suction area of the pump and then cause a insufficient water supply. In addition, when there is a need to perform field operation or unattended operation, the water source that needs to be drained may be completely drained at any time, however, because it is unattended operation or it cannot be found in time, the water pump is in a dry running state for a long time, it is easy to bum the mechanical seal and even causes the whole machine to be damaged.
In view of the above situation, there is a need to design a vacuum assisted self-priming pump to achieve the following objects:
1. there is no need to mount a bottom valve;
2. the centrifugal pump may automatically evacuate quickly;
3. there is no need to fill water in the pump before first start, and the pump may be waterlessly started directly;
4. self-priming and repeated and lasting self-priming may be achieved;
5. during self-priming, even the pump runs dry for a long time, the pump may not be damaged;
6. after evacuation, when the centrifugal pump starts to operate, the vacuum pump stops operating, and enters a dormant state to greatly save energy, reduce mechanical noise and increase the service life of the vacuum pump.
