Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pressurizing centrifugal pump for rotating an impeller in a pump case to absorb and then deliver a liquid or the like.
  • a pressurizing centrifugal pump for absorbing, pressurizing and delivering a fluid such as water, oil, air or the like is conventionally known as shown in Patent Document 1 describing a proposal by the present applicant.
  • a pressurizing centrifugal pump includes a drum-like case having an absorption opening and a delivery opening.
  • an impeller having blades radially projected on a side surface thereof faces a pressurizing surface which is a part of a pressurizing chamber converging from the absorption opening toward the delivery opening, and also faces a pressurizing section having a pressurizing partition wall which is provided close to a side surface of the blades to prevent the leak of the fluid from a blade chamber.
  • a fluid which is absorbed from the absorption opening is pressurized in a pump chamber including the impeller and the pressurizing section and is delivered from the delivery opening.
  • the blades projected on a side surface of a blade plate, radially from a boss section each have a forward inclining angle (scraping angle).
  • This provides an advantage that an outer end of the blade, which precedes the rest of the blade, promotes the scraping of the fluid from the pressurizing chamber into the blade chamber.
  • the blades formed to be flat with such a forward inclining angle pressurize the fluid scraped into the blade chamber while allowing the fluid to be leaked sideways freely. This provides a disadvantage that a vigorous turbulence is caused at the border between the side surface of the impeller and the pressurizing chamber.
  • the blade plate couples a front surface of a blade and a rear surface of another blade adjacent thereto via a flat blade trough surface on the side of the blade plate.
  • Each blade projected from the impeller is formed to have a diameter which is the same as that of the blade plate. Therefore, when an outer circumferential surface of the blade plate is made close to an inner circumferential surface of the pump case to form a fluid control space of, for example, about 0.3 mm for controlling the leak of the fluid to the rear side of the blade plate, tips of the blades also form a space of the same size as that of the fluid control space.
  • the pressurizing centrifugal pump comprises a drum-like case (4) having an absorption opening (2) and a delivery opening (3); and an impeller (5) rotatable in the case (4), the impeller having a plurality of blades (12) projected on a side surface of a blade plate (14), radially from a boss section (15), each of the blades (12) having an angle extending rearward in a rotation direction.
  • a pressurizing surface (27) which faces the blades (12) and is a part of a pressurizing chamber (24) converged from the absorption opening (2) toward the delivery opening (3), and a pressurizing section (22) having a pressurizing partition wall (25), provided close to a side surface of the blades (12), for preventing a fluid in blade chambers (16) from leaking, are provided;
  • a pump chamber (9) is provided in which the impeller (5) faces the pressurizing surface (27) and the pressurizing section (22); tips of the blades (12) are provided at a level lower than that of an outer circumferential surface of a blade plate (14) by a level difference (36) provided from the outer circumferential surface toward a central position of the blade plate (14) ;
  • the outer circumferential surface of the blade plate (14) is provided close to an inner circumferential wall (11) of the case (4) to form a fluid control space (h) for controlling movement of the fluid toward a rear side of the blades; and a fluid
  • the blade chambers (16) formed of the blades (12) projected from the blade plate (14) with a predetermined interval between each two adjacent blades (12) are each formed of an arcked blade front surface (33) curved to protrude toward an upstream direction in the rotation direction; a blade rear surface (35) formed of a curved surface which is generally along a shape of the blade front surface (33); and an arcked blade trough surface (37) for connecting the blade front surface (33) of a blade (12) and the blade rear surface (35) of another blade (12) adjacent thereto, the blade trough surface (37) being curved to protrude toward the blade plate (14).
  • troughs of the blade chambers (16) are made gradually deeper from a bottom toward a tip thereof.
  • troughs of the blade chambers (16) are made gradually deeper from a bottom to a middle point before a tip thereof and are made generally constant in depth from the middle point to the tip.
  • a pressurizing guide surface (27b) generally parallel to a side surface of the impeller (5) is provided on the side of a start point of the pressurizing surface (27) continued to the absorption opening (2).
  • a pressurizing centrifugal pump according to the present invention structured as described above has the following effects. Since the level of the tips of the blades is made lower than that of the outer circumferential surface of the blade plate by providing a level difference inward from the outer circumferential surface, the outer circumferential surface of the blade plate can be made as close as possible to the inner circumferential wall. Thus, the movement of the fluid from the fluid control space to the rear side of the blades can be controlled and so the pumping efficiency can be improved. In addition, owing to the fluid passage space formed between the inner circumferential wall and the tips of the blades, the passage of the foreign substance (X) mixed to contaminate the fluid can be promoted and noise can be reduced.
  • the fluid supplied from the absorption opening by the rotation is introduced, as being scooped, into the blade chamber along the shape of the blade front surface. Also, the fluid sequentially introduced from the pressurizing chamber via the pressurizing surface is guided along the blade front surface and the blade trough surface, and so a whirlpool is formed smoothly in the blade chamber to carry the fluid to the delivery opening. Therefore, the pump pressure can be increased by a centrifugal force and a kicking action of the blades and the fluid can be released vigorously.
  • the fluid is guided from the bottom toward the tip of the blade chamber along the blade front surface and the blade trough surface, and thus an orderly whirlpool is formed while preventing generation of a turbulence.
  • the pressure in the blade chamber is increased.
  • a circulating flow directed from the bottom of the blade chamber toward the delivery opening is formed in an orderly manner. Therefore, the fluid can be vigorously delivered from the delivery opening.
  • the troughs of the blade chambers are made gradually deeper from the bottom to a middle point before the tip thereof and are made generally constant in depth from the middle point to the tip. Owing to this, the trough surface can be inclined with respect to the delivery opening, without decreasing the depth of the troughs on the bottom side of the blade chamber, and the fluid can be directed toward the delivery opening without fail.
  • the fluid supplied from the absorption opening is directed toward the impeller via the pressurizing guide surface, and the fluid is guided parallel along the impeller from the start of the absorption operation. Therefore, the fluid can be supplied in correspondence with the absorption by the impeller without causing any negative pressure to the fluid, and so the pumping efficiency can be improved.
  • reference numeral 1 represents a pressurizing centrifugal pump.
  • the pump 1 includes a drum-shaped case 4 having an absorption opening 2 and a delivery opening 3, and an impeller 5 axially supported to be rotatable in the case 4.

  • the delivery opening 3 having a predetermined length covering a plurality of blades 12 projected from a side surface of the impeller 5 is formed at a delivery position facing the width of the blade.
  • a delivery pipe 13 curved to protrude toward a delivery direction of the fluid is integrally connected.
  • the impeller case 4b has an integral support section, in another portion of the inner circumferential wall 11, for axially supporting the pump shaft 7 at a central position of the pump chamber 9.
  • the pump shaft 7 separably attaches and fixes the impeller 5, having the plurality of blades 12 projected therefrom, at an end of the shaft in the pump chamber 9 by an attaching screw and a nut, etc.
  • the impeller 5 is provided such that a side surface of a blade plate 14 different from a side surface from which the blades 12 are projected is made close to a side wall of the impeller case 4b and such that the blades 12 are away from the inner circumferential wall 11 by a fluid passage space H described later.
  • the impeller 5 has an integral cylindrical boss section 15 also acting as an attaching section to the pump shaft 7.
  • the boss section 15 extends from a central position of the blade plate 14, which acts as a side wall of the blades and is disc-shaped.
  • a side end of the boss section 15 and a side end of blades 12 in the impeller 5 are substantially flush with each other.
  • an end surface of the boss section 15 is close to an end surface of a flat pressurizing partition wall 25 (see FIG. 4 ) described later, which is formed in a central section of the pressurizing case 4a.
  • the blades 12 are projected on the blade plate 14, radially from the boss section 15 with a predetermined interval between each two adjacent blades 12.
  • a space made of each adjacent blades 12, the blade plate 14 and the boss section 15 acts as a blade chamber 16 (see FIG. 3 ) for accommodating the fluid.
  • the blade chambers 16, with the blades 12 formed as described later with reference to FIG. 7 through FIG. 11 improves the pumping efficiency.

Owing to this, the fluid absorbed from the absorption opening 2 into the pump chamber 9 is gradually pressurized by the plurality of blades 12 while passing the pressurizing chamber 24, which is a long pathway, in the state of being scraped by the rotation of the impeller 5 and sequentially held in the blade chambers 16.
  • the pressurizing surface 27 is formed up to a pressurization end point 29, which is a start point of the pressurizing partition wall 25.
  • the fluid moving downstream from the absorption chamber 23 is pressurized and guided along the inclining pressurizing surface 27 into the blade chambers 16. Owing to the pressurizing surface 27, the fluid can be pressurized without any drastic pressure change in the pump chamber 9 and is efficiently pushed out from the delivery opening 3 while having the highest possible pressure at the pressurization end point 29.
  • the pressurizing surface 27 in this embodiment has a stepped direction-change pressurizing surface 31 for promoting the direction change of the pressurized fluid toward the corresponding blade chambers 16.

Therefore, when the fluid pressurized in the blade chamber 16 reaches the delivery opening 3 and is released from the tip thereof by the centrifugal force and the kicking action of the blade 12, a circulating flow directed from the bottom of the blade chamber 16 toward the delivery opening 3 in an orderly manner can be formed. Therefore, the fluid is delivered vigorously and smoothly from the delivery opening 3 while the pressurizing energy thereof is increased.
  • the blades 12 formed as described above may each have a thick outer tip owing to the flat surface 5a instead of a thin and pointed outer tip.
  • the base section of the blade 12 is thick owing to the curving of the blade trough surface 37. Therefore, the blades 12 are strong and durable, and so can be provided close to the pressurizing partition wall 25. Therefore, the outer tips of the blades 12 can be provided close to the pressurizing partition wall 25. This suppresses the leak of the fluid, air bubbles and the like from the space between the blades 12 and the pressurizing partition wall 25.
  • the fluid vigorously flowing out from the space although being in a small amount flows into the next blade chamber 16 and is scooped by the blade front surface 33 while forming a whirlpool along the inclining surface 5b and the blade rear surface 35. Therefore, the pressurization can be promoted without causing a significant turbulence.
  • the blade rear surface 35 and the blade front surface 33 can be continuously formed with a curve larger than the curve represented with the chained line.
  • the level difference 36 is formed on a tangential line extending from the trough of the blade chamber 16.
  • the trough surface is not limited to inclining from the bottom toward the tip of the blade chamber 16.
  • the trough surface may include a non-inclining portion from a position at about half of the trough in a length direction thereof to the delivery opening 3 (see chained line 37).
  • the trough surface can be inclined without decreasing the depth of the trough on the bottom side of the blade chamber 16. Therefore, the fluid can be directed toward the delivery opening 3 without fail.
  • a blade chamber 16 may be chosen in correspondence with the usage of the pump 1. This provides an advantage that, for example, the blade chamber 16 can be easily adapted to any of various pump specifications.
  • the pump 1 structured as described above operates as follows. When the impeller 5 is driven to rotate, each blade 12 scrapes and absorbs the fluid into the blade chamber 16 from the absorption opening 2 via the absorption chamber 23, while the fluid accommodated in each blade chamber 16 is continuously carried around in the pump chamber 9 to reach the delivery opening 3 and is delivered from the delivery pipe 13.
  • the level of the tip of each blade 12 of the impeller 5 is made lower than the level of the outer circumferential surface of the blade plate 14 by the level difference 36 which is provided inward from the outer circumferential surface. Therefore, the foreign substance (X) mixed to contaminate the fluid is allowed to pass the large fluid passage space H between the inner circumferential wall 11 and the tips of the blades 12 and to escape in the circumferential direction. Thus, the collision of the foreign substance (X) against the inner circumferential wall 11 is buffered. In addition, the tips of the blades 12 are prevented from moving while catching the foreign substance (X). Therefore, the pump is made highly durable, and the cavitation, water-draining noise and the like caused at the tips of the blades can be reduced by the fluid passage space H.
  • the impeller 5 allows the fluid control space h to be narrowed substantially to the limit of the tolerable processing precision while securing the fluid passage space H. This provides advantages that, for example, even where the fluid pressure in the pressurizing chamber 24 is increased, the movement of the fluid to the rear side of the blade plate 14 can be controlled and the pumping efficiency can be improved.
  • air mixed with the fluid in the pressurizing chamber 24 in correspondence with a certain usage is pressurized along the pressurizing surface 27 while being formed into small bubbles by the blades 12 and uniformly dispersed in the fluid passage space H.
  • the air bubbles reach the pressurizing partition wall 25, and are smoothly delivered at the most pressurized state from the delivery opening 3 while being supplied with a pushing force and a centrifugal force by the rotation of the blades 12.
  • the gas to be mixed in the pump 1 is not limited to air, and any of various types of gas or powder can be used. Any liquid such as a liquid medicine, a fire extinguishing liquid, a fertilizing liquid or the like can also be used. Thus, the convenience is increased and the usage of the pump can be broadened.
