Background
In recent years, with the rapid development of industries such as chemical industry, casting, nuclear industry and the like, the transportation of conductive fluids is more and more important. Among them, electromagnetic pumps have been used to transport liquid metals having high electrical conductivity. Their advantage is the absence of moving and sealing parts, eliminating the possibility of leakage and wear compared to mechanical pumps.
The existing electromagnetic pump mainly comprises an electric conduction type electromagnetic pump and an alternating current induction type electromagnetic pump. The conductive electromagnetic pump is divided into a direct current conductive electromagnetic pump and an alternating current conductive electromagnetic pump, wherein the direct current conductive electromagnetic pump drives a conductive fluid to flow by directly applying direct current to the conductive fluid under the action of a magnetic field. The direct current conductive electromagnetic pump can be divided into a rectangular type, a cylindrical type and a spiral type according to the type of a flow channel, and has the problems of low pressure head, small flow, large current supply, large electrode contact resistance and the like although the direct current conductive electromagnetic pump has high efficiency and a simple and compact structure.

The straight-line flow channel of the direct-current electromagnetic pump is bent and coiled into a spiral flow channel, and the flow channel can be regarded as a single-flow-channel structure, so that the volume of the pump is reduced to a certain extent. When the input current and the external magnetic field are both set to be the same, the electromagnetic driving force generated by the two flow channels is the same, so that the problem of low driving pressure head of the direct current electromagnetic pump is not solved, and the arrangement of the electrode plates also has certain difficulty.

The double-helix electromagnetic pump for driving the flow of the conductive fluid is characterized in that: when an external power supply is connected, the conductive fluid 10 in the double-spiral convoluted flow channel 9 is continuously driven by electromagnetic force, so that the conductive fluid 10 flows out from the inlet pipe 5 to the outlet pipe 4 and has a higher driving pressure. The double helix shape enables the conductive fluid 12 to flow in or out from the center of the spiral flow channel, when the direction of the external current or the direction of the magnetic field is changed, the current can flow in from the outlet pipe 4 and flow out from the inlet pipe 5 to complete the reverse flow, and the effect and the working efficiency of the forward flow and the reverse flow are the same.
The double-helix electromagnetic pump for driving the flow of the conductive fluid is manufactured as follows:
the pump body 1 is provided with a double-spiral rotary flow channel 9 and a groove for fixing the strip-shaped electrode 2 on the lower surface thereof in a machining mode; the two strip electrodes 2 are respectively placed in the grooves on the surface of the pump body 1; threads are processed at one end of the inlet pipe 5 and one end of the outlet pipe 4, the inlet pipe 5 is connected to the pump body 1 through the threads and the strip-shaped electrode 2, and the outlet pipe 4 is connected to the pump body 1 through the threads and the other strip-shaped electrode 2; the pump body end cover 6 is connected with the pump body 1 through bolts, and plays a role in sealing the double-spiral rotary flow channel; the upper magnet 7 and the lower magnet 8 are clamped on the pump body 1 through the magnet yoke 11, and thus the double-helix electromagnetic pump is manufactured.
The pump body 1 of the embodiment is made of non-magnetic steel or non-magnetic conductor materials, the double-spiral convolute flow channel 9 is arranged on the lower surface of the pump body 1, and the height of the flow channel is as small as possible, so that the magnetic gaps of the upper magnet 7 and the lower magnet 8 are as small as possible, and the field intensity is as large as possible; the strip-shaped electrodes 2 are arranged into an involute double-spiral convolution flow channel in a convolution mode by taking the strip-shaped electrodes 2 as centers, and smooth transition fillets are arranged at the corners to reduce resistance loss. The upper magnet 7 and the lower magnet 8 are clamped on the pump body 1 through a magnetic yoke 11, and insulating layers (not shown in the figure) exist between the upper magnet 7 and the upper surface of the pump body 1 and between the lower magnet 8 and the pump body end cover 6 to insulate the magnets from the conductive fluid 10. The magnetic field direction of the magnet pair (the upper magnet 7 and the lower magnet 8) arranged on the pump body 1 is vertical to the double-spiral rotary flow channel 9 and the current direction between the two strip-shaped electrodes 2.
The working process of the invention is as follows: the double-spiral-shaped rotary flow channel 9 between the pump body 1 and the pump body end cover 6 is positioned between the upper magnet 7 and the lower magnet 8, when direct current is conducted to the electrode pair (two strip-shaped electrodes 2) positioned in the center of the double-spiral-shaped rotary flow channel 9, current is generated in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field, and therefore electromagnetic force capable of pushing the conductive fluid 10 to accelerate flow is achieved, the direction of the electromagnetic force is determined by the magnetic field and the direction of the current, in the design of the invention, the direction of the electrode pair and the direction of the current are shown in fig. 4, and the direction of the magnet pair and the direction of the magnetic field are shown in fig. 3, and in the arrangement mode, the driving force borne by the conductive fluid 10 is always along the direction of the flow channel. Therefore, the conductive fluid 10 is continuously accelerated in the region between the electrode pairs from the inlet pipe 5, and freely flows along the flow channel in the region outside the electrode pairs, and the conductive fluid 10 reaches the outlet pipe 4 with a high driving pressure, so that the efficiency of transporting the conductive fluid can be improved. The electromagnetic pump is convenient to use, only the inlet pipe 5 and the outlet pipe 4 of the electromagnetic pump need to be connected to a fluid flow channel to be driven, the conductive fluid 10 is filled in the flow channel in the whole process, and then the electrode pairs are powered by the corresponding direct current power supply according to the transportation direction of the conductive fluid 10, so that the electromagnetic driving force can be generated, and the purpose of accelerating the driving of the fluid is achieved.
The working principle of the invention is as follows: the DC electromagnetic pump consists of three main parts, electrode, permanent magnet and pump pipe. The conductive fluid drive in the pump tube is provided by electromagnetic forces generated by the vector product of the current and the magnetic field. The total electromagnetic driving force F can be approximated by:
F=2N×I×B
wherein: i-input Current [ A ]
B-magnetic flux density [ T ]; number of N-spiral flow passages
When the input current and the external magnetic field are both set to be the same, the electromagnetic driving force provided by the traditional direct current electromagnetic pump can be approximate to F ═ I × B, so that the double-helix electromagnetic pump can provide the electromagnetic driving force which is approximately 2N times that of the traditional direct current electromagnetic pump. It should be noted that the double-helix electromagnetic pump of the present invention increases the flow resistance to some extent due to the double-helix flow channel structure, but can provide a higher flow driving pressure head as a whole due to the significant enhancement of the electromagnetic driving force.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only intended to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, but not to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some technical features may be equivalently replaced; and such modifications or substitutions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the corresponding technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
