Definitions

  • This invention relates to multi-stage centrifugal pumps, and more particularly to means for preventing rotation of an inter-stage bushing or ring in a multi-stage centrifugal pump with an axially split casing which houses a shaft carrying impellers.
  • a multi-stage centrifugal pump has a number of inter-stage bushings and rings, sometimes called stage pieces and wear rings, which fit within the casing and have to be accurately positioned radially and locked against axial and rotational movement.
  • These bushings and rings have essentially the same function as one another, namely to seal each side of each impeller, but the bushings have a larger radial thickness and may carry integral guide vanes for the incoming fluid whereas the rings have a smaller radial thickness and lack guide vanes.
  • Radial positioning is by means of a close fit between the periphery of the bushing or ring and a bore machined in the casing.
  • Axial location is by means of a flange on the bushing or ring which engages in an annular groove machined in the casing.
  • each bushing or ring has been prevented from rotating by means of a small pin fitted into a radial hole drilled in the base of the annular groove, said pin protruding into an axial slot machined in the flange.
  • the pins have been fitted in the lower half of the casing in the vertical plane containing the pump axis, so that the axial slots in the bushings and rings could be engaged with the pins during the assembly of the shaft and impellers into the lower half of the casing.
  • the object of the present invention is to avoid the aforesaid disadvantages.
  • means for preventing rotation of an inter-stage bushing or ring in a multi-stage centrifugal pump with an axially split casing which houses a shaft carrying impellers are characterised by a tangential pin fitted into a hole provided in either half of the casing at its join face, the centre-line of the pin being normal to the join face and the exposed end of the pin being flush with said face, and a recess in which the pin engages provided in the periphery of the bushing or ring.
  • a multi-stage centrifugal pump has a casing indicated generally at 10 which is split axially in a horizontal plane and houses a power-driven shaft 12 on which there are rigidly secured a plurality of impellers 14.
  • Each impeller 14 is disposed in a chamber 16 having an axial inlet 18 and a radial outlet 20, the chambers 16 being connected in series in well-known manner.
  • An inter-stage ring 22 is disposed at the inlet side of each impeller 14, and an inter-stage bushing 24 carrying integral guide means 25 for the incoming fluid is disposed at the other side thereof.
  • each bushing 24 and ring 22 is diametrically split in a plane 26 incline at, say, 10° to the horizontal, the split being below the joint face 28 of the casing 10 at that side of the casing 10 where the periphery of the rotating shaft 12 moves upwardly.
  • the two halves of each bushing 24 (and ring 22) are located together by dowels 30.
  • Each bushing 24 (and ring 22) is prevented from rotating by a tangential pin 32 (see Figure 2) driven into a hole 34 machined in the upper half 36 of the casing 10 at its joint face 28, the centre-line 29 of the pin 32 being normal to the joint face 28 and the exposed end 37 of the pin 32 being flush with the joint face 28.
  • the pin 32 engages in a recess 38 machined in a flange 40 on the upper half 42 of the bushing 24 (or ring 22) the recess 38 including a shoulder 44 against which the exposed end 37 of the pin 32 abuts.
  • the flange 40 engages in known manner in an annular groove 45 machined in the casing 10.
  • the exposed end 37 of the pin 32 may be slightly short of the joint face 28 of the casing 10 without departing from the scope of the invention, but it must not protrude beyond said face.
  • the pin 32 is positioned at that side of the casing 10 which places said pin under compression if the bushing 24 (or ring 22) tends to rotate in the same direction as the shaft 12.
  • the recess 38 is machined in a suitable part of the periphery of the bushing 24 (or ring 22) other than the axial location flange 40 thereon.
  • the pin 32 can be much larger than the radial pin used hitherto and is in compression, not shear, so that it will readily withstand all anticipated loadings; there is a greater certainty of correct engagement of the pin 32 in the recess 38, and if engagement is not achieved further assembly of the pump is prevented; and, in cases where the bushing 24 (or ring 22) is diametrically split and the pin 32 is fitted in the upper half 36 of the casing 10, the lower half 48 of the bushing 24 or ring 22 can be rotated to enable it to be removed without lifting the shaft.
