Background
The impeller is an important part of the pump, and the size and the precision of the impeller directly influence the mechanical property, the working efficiency and the service life of the pump.
The impeller mainly has three structural forms: closed, semi-closed and open impellers. The closed impeller is widely applied to a centrifugal pump with high lift and high efficiency due to the characteristic of high efficiency. The blades of the centrifugal pump impeller are of a cylindrical type and a space twisted type, and the centrifugal pump impeller adopts the space twisted type blades, so that the load of the blades can be reduced, the suction performance of the centrifugal pump can be improved, and the cavitation erosion resistance of the centrifugal pump can be improved.
The closed impeller is composed of an impeller upper plate, an impeller lower plate, blades and a hub, and in the traditional process, the closed impeller is formed by precision casting, so that the manufacturing cost is high, the production efficiency is low, and the closed impeller with a small water outlet size is difficult to cast.
In order to solve the technical problems existing in the closed impeller manufactured by the traditional process, the prior art provides a technical scheme that an upper impeller plate, a lower impeller plate and blades are welded into a whole by adopting a method of cutting, stamping and stretching and then welding to form a complete closed impeller, the problem that the closed impeller with a small water outlet size cannot be manufactured due to the casting process is solved, and the geometric precision and the surface finish of the welded impeller (the impeller manufactured by adopting the welding process) are superior to those of the cast impeller (the impeller manufactured by adopting the casting process), so that the application of the welded impeller is beneficial to improving the efficiency of a centrifugal pump. At present, a welded impeller is widely applied to a special centrifugal pump for chemical engineering made of a metal material with poor casting performance.
The impeller welding method comprises a traditional impeller welding method and a laser welding method, the traditional impeller welding method mainly comprises three welding methods of argon arc welding, resistance welding and capacitance energy storage welding, when the impeller is welded by the traditional welding method, the welding difficulty is high, and the problems of dislocation, deformation, rough welding line, large internal stress and the like are easily caused in the welding process, so that the smoothness of fluid passing through the blades is influenced, the service life of the impeller is further shortened, and the efficiency of the centrifugal pump is further reduced. The laser welding method has the characteristics of small heat affected zone, no need of filling metal materials, non-contact welding, small influence caused by space limitation, easiness in high-speed welding by computer control and the like, so that compared with the traditional welding method for welding the impeller, the laser welding method for welding the impeller has the advantages of good welding quality, large fusion depth, firm welding, low heat input quantity, small workpiece deformation, high welding efficiency, attractive weld joint forming, convenience in realizing automatic production and the like. Specifically, when the impeller is welded by the laser welding method, the welding track can be accurately specified through computer control, so that the accurate welding of the spatial position of the blade can be realized.
However, the existing laser welding of the impeller still has defects in specific application, the impeller needs to be positioned and clamped before being welded, but the existing clamping and positioning device for the impeller is complex in clamping, low in efficiency, difficult to guarantee in welding precision and high in rejection rate.
