Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the field of pumps configured to pump liquid comprising solid matter. Further, the present invention relates to the field of submergible pumps, such as sewage/wastewater pumps, especially configured to pump liquid such as sewage/wastewater that may comprise polymers, hygiene articles, fabrics, rags, disposable gloves, face masks, etc.
  • the present invention relates specifically to a hydraulic unit for said pumps and applications, and to a pump comprising such a hydraulic unit and an impeller.
  • the hydraulic unit of a pump comprises an impeller seat is also known under the terms suction cover and inlet insert/plate.
  • the inventive pump may be wet installed and/or dry installed, and may be of submergible type in both applications/installations.
  • the present invention relates to a hydraulic unit that comprises a channel impeller and a housing having an axial inlet and a radial outlet, the housing defining a volute having a cutwater, a cutwater wedge angle ( ⁇ ) and a cutwater angle (Y), wherein a smallest cross-sectional area (A1) of the volute is located in an axial geometrical plane that comprises an axially extending center axis of the inlet of the housing and that extends radially outwards to an upstream end of the cutwater.
  • the present invention relates to a pump for pumping liquid comprising solid matter
  • the pump comprises a drive unit having an electric motor and an axially extending drive shaft and comprising a hydraulic unit having a channel impeller and a housing, wherein the impeller is operatively connected to said electric motor via said drive shaft and driven in rotation in said housing during operation of the pump, wherein the housing comprises an axial inlet and a radial outlet, the housing defining a volute having a cutwater, a cutwater wedge angle ( ⁇ ) and a cutwater angle (Y), wherein a smallest cross-sectional area (A1) of the volute is located in an axial geometrical plane that comprises an axially extending center axis of the inlet of the housing and that extends radially outwards to an upstream end of the cutwater.
  • European patent EP 1899609 discloses a pump that partly solves the problem of fixed distance between the impeller seat and the impeller.
  • the pump comprises an impeller that is arranged to rotate in the volute of the pump, said impeller being suspended by a drive shaft, and the pump comprises an impeller seat having a guide pin and a feeding groove.
  • the impeller is displaceable in the axial direction in relation to the impeller seat during operation of the pump in order to allow larger pieces of solid matter to pass through, contaminations that otherwise would risk to block the pump or wedge the impeller.
  • the guide pin is connected to the inlet wall of the impeller seat and extends towards the centre of the impeller and towards the centre of the impeller seat. The impeller is displaced by the solid matter when the solid matter enters the gap between the leading edge of the blade and the guide pin and/or enters the gap between the lower edge of the blade and the upper surface of the impeller seat.
  • solid matter especially solid matter having elongated shape and/or long fibres and/or comprises elastic and durable components, when having passed the impeller tends to get caught over the cutwater and will block/clog the volute of the pump and have negative effect on the pumped flow, i.e. the efficiency of the pump.
  • This is the case both for applications having axially fixed impeller and axially displaceable impeller.
  • Another way to prevent blockage/clogging at the cutwater is to use a chopper pump as disclosed in EP 1891331 , wherein solid matter having long fibers is disintegrated at the inlet of the pump.
  • solid matter having long fibers is disintegrated at the inlet of the pump.
  • disintegration of solid matter decrease the efficiency of the pump since it is more energy consuming to cut/tear solid matter apart then having the solid matter pass through the pump undivided.
  • Such pumps and applications may be protected by suitable monitoring and control units that monitors the operation of the pump and controls the operation of the pump based thereon. For instance, when the rotational speed of the impeller decreases and/or the power consumption increased the guide pin and/or the volute of the impeller is partly clogged and the monitoring and control unit enters a cleaning sequence that comprises the step of rotating the impeller in the backward direction, i.e. opposite the direction of rotation of the impeller during normal operation of the pump.
  • the present invention aims at obviating the aforementioned disadvantages and failings of previously known impeller seats and pumps, and at providing an improved hydraulic unit and pump.
  • a primary object of the present invention is to provide an improved hydraulic unit and pump of the initially defined type that reduces the risk of having solid matter caught over the cutwater, and thereby reduces or prevents blockage/clogging and avoid reduced efficiency of the pump.

  • the present invention is based on the insight of the inventors that it is advantageous to have a cutwater that is less conspicuous, i.e. having a larger radius of curvature, and that is located downstream the outlet of the pump in order to reduce the risk of having solid matter caught over the cutwater when the solid matter is on its way to leave the volute together with the liquid.
  • the cutwater wedge angle ( ⁇ ) is taken between a first geometrical line that is tangent to an upstream end of the cutwater and a second geometrical line that is tangent to a downstream end of the cutwater.
  • the cutwater edge angle ( ⁇ ) is a direct measure concerning the bluntness/sharpness of the cutwater of the volute.
  • the cutwater angle (Y) is taken at the intersection between the axial geometrical plane having the smallest cross-sectional area of the volute and a third geometrical line/plane that extends between the center axis of the inlet of the housing and the center of the outlet of the housing.
  • the cutwater angle (Y) is a direct measure concerning the location of the cutwater in the volute.
  • the impeller is displaceable back and forth in the axial direction in relation to the drive shaft during operation of the pump.
  • the solid matter is prevented from getting wedged between the impeller and impeller seat, and is allowed to enter the volute undivided.
  • the inventive ranges of the cutwater wedge angle ( ⁇ ) and the cutwater angle (Y) minimizes the risk that undivided solid matter entering the volute gets caught over the cutwater, whereby these features in combination provides the bonus effect that the efficiency of the pump during the passing of solid matter therethrough does not decrease.
