Description

  The present invention relates to a pump facility mainly used for flood control drainage, and more particularly to a pump facility that can improve the reliability of management operation in the pump facility.

  Conventionally, pumping equipment for pumping and draining is regularly operated for the purpose of confirming that it can be reliably operated when drainage is urgently needed. In other words, the management operation is basically performed periodically in order to detect a failure of the entire system, maintain functions, and improve the proficiency of the operator.

  In order to ensure the reliability of the facility, the management operation is preferably performed in a state close to a normal drainage state (rated drainage amount / load), particularly the total water amount management operation. However, due to economic problems (such as the construction of bypass waterways) or machine characteristics / specifications such as low inflow water during normal use or no site space available to secure a narrow machine, there is actually a small amount of water due to bypass pipeline circulation operation. In recent years, an anhydrous management operation by a management operation or a shut-off operation (no-water feeding operation) in which the discharge valve is fully closed has been widely used. However, these small water volume management operations and anhydrous management operations have problems as described below, and it cannot be said that satisfactory management operations can be performed.

Land Improvement Project Plan Design Standards and Operation / Explanation Design “Pump Station” Supervision by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Rural Development Bureau, Development Department, Design Section, Standards for Management Operation Method / Structure (Chapter 18: Design of Management Equipment 802, 803)

(1) Small water volume management operation Since the operation becomes a small water volume operation and the operation (load) is different from the actual drainage operation, it is not possible to confirm a satisfactory equipment state in the management operation.
Depending on the pump (depending on the hydro), the operation is performed in a performance unstable region called a stall region, and the operation is accompanied by a large vibration. In the worst case, there is a risk of failure.

(2) Anhydrous management operation by deadline operation Since it is an anhydrous operation and the operation (load) is different from the actual drainage operation, a satisfactory equipment condition cannot be confirmed in the management operation.
It is a deadline operation and is an operation accompanied by a large vibration. In the worst case, there is a risk of failure. Moreover, since the temperature of the water in the pump rises, there may be a limit on the operation time (it is usually necessary to stop for several minutes so as not to form steam and damage the equipment).

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the purpose of the pump is to enable more reliable management operation by bringing the management operation water amount when using the small water amount management operation closer to the normal drainage amount. To provide facilities.

The present invention comprises a pump for pumping the liquid in the suction water tank and a discharge valve provided on the discharge side of the pump, and the pump is installed at the opening of the pump chamber floor above the suction water tank via a pump base. In the pump facility, a bypass pipe for management operation having a switching valve is connected to the upstream side of the discharge valve, and the bypass pipe has a branch pipe that branches into a plurality on the way , and the branch pipe has the pump base or The pump facility is characterized in that each end discharge port is opened at a plurality of locations in the suction water tank through the pump chamber floor .

According to the present invention, the bypass pipe has a branch pipe that branches into a plurality of parts along the way, and the branch pipe passes through the pump base or the pump chamber floor and has its end discharge ports opened at a plurality of locations of the suction water tank. Therefore, it becomes possible to increase the amount of water during management operation (close to the normal amount of drainage and load) and improve the reliability of the pump status check.

[First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a pump equipment 1-1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the pump facility 1-1 has a pump 30 inserted and installed in an opening 21 provided in a civil engineering structure (hereinafter referred to as “pump room floor”) 20 installed in the upper part of the suction tank 10. It is configured. The pump 30 has a pump bowl 33 and a suction bell mouth 35 attached to the lower side of the suspension pipe 31, a discharge casing (discharge elbow) 37 attached to the upper side of the suspension pipe 31, and a drive unit installed above the discharge casing 37. A drive shaft 43 suspended from 41 is introduced into the discharge casing 37, and an impeller 45 attached to the tip of the drive shaft 43 is arranged inside the pump bowl 33 and the suction bell mouth 35.

  The pump 30 is installed by attaching a pump base 49 attached to the outer periphery thereof (specifically, between the suspension pipe 31 and the discharge casing 37) to the opening 21 of the floor 20. A discharge pipe 39 is connected to the discharge side of the discharge casing 37, and a discharge valve 47 that opens and closes the discharge pipe 39 is attached to the discharge pipe 39.

  In the pump equipment 1-1, a bypass pipe 51 is connected to the upstream side (primary side) of the discharge valve 47, specifically, to the discharge pipe 39. The bypass pipe 51 is a branch pipe, and one end of the bypass pipe 51 is connected to the discharge pipe 39 as described above, and the first branch portion 51A and the second branch portion 51B are branched into two at the middle branch portion a1. One branch 51 </ b> A penetrates the pump base 49 and is inserted into the suction water tank 10, and the second branch 51 </ b> B penetrates the floor 20 and is inserted into the suction water tank 10. That is, the tips of the first branch part 51 </ b> A and the second branch part 51 </ b> B serving as the discharge port of the bypass pipe 51 are opened at two locations of the suction water tank 10. Further, a switching valve 53 for opening and closing the bypass pipe 51 is attached between a portion of the bypass pipe 51 connected to the discharge pipe 39 and the branch part a1.

  In the normal operation of the pump equipment 1-1, the drive valve 41 is driven with the discharge valve 47 opened and the switching valve 53 closed, whereby the impeller 45 is rotated to drive the suction bell mouth 35 into the suction water tank 10. The liquid is sucked in and discharged from the discharge pipe 39.

  On the other hand, in the management operation of the pump equipment 1-1, the drive valve 41 is driven in a state in which the discharge valve 47 is closed and the switching valve 53 is opened, whereby the liquid in the suction water tank 10 sucked from the suction bell mouth 35 is removed. This is done by feeding into the bypass pipe 51 and draining it into the suction water tank 10 from the two discharge ports at the tips of the first and second branch parts 51A, 51B.

  In the case of this pump equipment 1-1, since the bypass pipe 51 is a branch pipe and its discharge port is a plurality of places (two places) of the suction water tank 10, the amount of water during the management operation can be increased accordingly. It becomes possible to bring the amount of water during the management operation closer to the normal amount of drainage and load, and the reliability of the state confirmation of the pump 30 can be improved.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the QH curve of the pump 30 and the pipeline loss curves during normal operation and various management operations. As shown in the figure, when there is only one bypass pipe that does not branch (conventional case), the amount of water during management operation is much smaller than that during normal drainage. A large difference occurs between the pipe loss curve L2 and the pipe loss curve L1 during normal operation, and the operation is performed in a state (load) that is considerably different from the actual drainage operation, and a satisfactory device state cannot be confirmed. On the other hand, in this pump equipment 1-1, since the bypass pipe 51 is branched into two, the amount of water to be drained can be increased approximately twice, and the pipe loss curve L3 at the time of management operation and The difference from the pipe loss curve L1 during normal operation can be reduced, and the operation is performed in a state (load) close to actual drainage operation, and a satisfactory device state can be confirmed.

  In the pump facility 1-1, the bypass pipe 51 is branched into two, but may be branched into a plurality of three or more. For example, when branched into three, the amount of drainage at the time of management operation further increases, so as shown in FIG. 2, between the pipe loss curve L4 at the time of management operation and the pipe loss curve L1 at the time of normal operation. The difference can be further reduced, and the operation can be made closer to the operation (load) close to the actual drain operation.

  By the way, in the said pump installation 1-1, 51 A of 1st branch parts of the 1st, 2nd branch parts 51A and 51B penetrate the pump base 49, and are inserted in the suction water tank 10. FIG. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide an opening in the floor 20 when installing the first branch portion 51A. Therefore, there is no risk of damaging the civil engineering strength in the floor 20, and construction or modification of existing equipment can be easily performed. Yes, reliability can be improved. Conventionally, in an existing pump station where a small capacity management operation using a bypass pipe has been performed and the bypass pipe is already provided through the floor 20, a new opening is not provided in the floor 20. And is particularly suitable.

  If not only the first branch portion 51A but also the second branch portion 51B is inserted into the suction water tank 10 through the pump base 49, an opening for installing the branch pipe is provided in the floor 20. No need at all. As described above, when all of the first and second branch portions 51A and 51B are passed through the pump base 49, the existing pump station (that is, the floor 20 has an opening for a bypass pipe) that has been conventionally operated by the cutoff operation. Even in a pump station that is completely free, it is not necessary to provide a new opening on the floor, so it can be easily modified.

  In the pump facility 1-1, the bypass pipe 51 is attached in the middle of the discharge pipe 39. However, the bypass pipe 51 may be attached to a pump body such as the discharge casing 37 or the suspension pipe 31.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view of a main part of the pump equipment 1-2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 shows an installation state of the bypass pipes 51-2 and 51-2 with respect to the pump 30-2 when the pump facility 1-2 is viewed from the AA direction shown in FIG. In the pump equipment 1-2 shown in the figure, the same or corresponding parts as those of the pump equipment 1-1 shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. Note that matters other than those described below are the same as those of the pump equipment 1-1 shown in FIGS.

  In this pump facility 1-2, the difference from the pump facility 1-1 is that the bypass pipe 51-2 is not a branch pipe, and instead, on the upstream side of the discharge valve 47-2, the switching valve 53-2 is provided. , 53-2 and two bypass pipes 51-2 and 51-2 for management operation are connected, and the bypass pipes 53-2 and 53-2 are passed through the pump base 49-2 to enter the suction water tank. It is the inserted point. That is, the discharge ports at the tips of the bypass pipes 51-2 and 51-2 are opened at two locations below the pump base 49-2 of the suction water tank 10.

  Then, the normal operation of the pump facility 1-2 is performed in a state where the discharge valve 47-2 is opened and both the switching valves 53-2 and 53-2 are closed, as in the case of the pump facility 1-1.

  On the other hand, in the management operation of the pump facility 1-2, the pump 30-2 is operated and sucked into the pump 30-2 with the discharge valve 47-2 closed and both the switching valves 53-2 and 53-2 opened. The liquid in the suction water tank is sent to both bypass pipes 51-2 and 51-2 and drained into the suction water tank from the two discharge ports at the tip. In the case of this pump equipment 1-2, since there are two bypass pipes 51-2 and the discharge ports are set at a plurality of locations (two locations) of the suction water tank, the amount of water during the management operation is increased accordingly (about twice). That is, it becomes possible to approach the normal amount of drainage and load, and the reliability of the state confirmation of the pump 30-2 can be improved as in the case of the pump equipment 1-1. In the case of this pump equipment 1-2, the same effect as shown in FIG. 2 is obtained.

  In the pump facility 1-2, since the tips of the bypass pipes 51-2 and 51-2 penetrate the pump base 49-2 and are inserted into the suction water tank, it is absolutely possible to provide an opening in the floor 20-2. It becomes unnecessary, there is no fear of damaging the civil engineering reinforcement in the floor 20-2, and construction or remodeling of existing facilities can be easily performed, and reliability can be improved. In some cases, both or one of the bypass pipes 51-1 and 51-2 may penetrate the floor 20-2 and be inserted into the suction water tank. Further, the number of the bypass pipes 51-2 may be three or more.

[Third Embodiment]
FIG. 4 is a schematic configuration diagram of a pump facility 1-3 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. In the pump facility 1-3 shown in the figure, the same or corresponding parts as those of the pump facility 1-1 shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. Note that matters other than those described below are the same as those of the pump equipment 1-1 shown in FIGS.

  The pump equipment 1-3 differs from the pump equipment 1-1 in that the bypass pipe 51-3 to which the switching valve 53-3 is attached is not a branch pipe but a single pipe, and the bypass pipe 51- 3 is inserted into the suction water tank 10-3, and the discharge port of the bypass pipe 51-3 is opened at a position lower than the water level WL during the management operation in the suction water tank 10-3.

  Then, the normal operation of the pump equipment 1-3 is performed with the discharge valve 47-3 opened and the switching valve 53-3 closed, as in the case of the pump equipment 1-1.

  On the other hand, the management operation of the pump facility 1-3 is performed by operating the pump 30-3 with the discharge valve 47-3 closed and the switching valve 53-3 open, and the suction water tank 10-3 sucked into the pump 30-3. The inside liquid is sent into the bypass pipe 51-3, and is discharged directly from the discharge port at the tip to the water surface of the suction water tank 10-3.

  In the case of this pump equipment 1-3, as described above, since the opening position of the discharge port of the bypass pipe 51-3 is below the water surface, the siphon characteristics of the fluid can be used, and the actual head during the management operation is set to 0 m. be able to. Therefore, the amount of water during the management operation can be brought close to the amount of drainage during the normal operation, and a more reliable management operation can be performed.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a QH curve of the pump 30-3 and pipe loss curves L1, L2, and L5 during normal operation and various management operations. As is apparent from the figure, compared to the case of the conventional example in which only one bypass pipe does not branch and the discharge outlet of the bypass pipe is opened at a position higher than the suction water tank water level WL, this pump equipment 1 In the case of -3, even if there is only one bypass pipe 51-3, the outlet is opened at a position lower than the suction water tank water level WL, so that the amount of water during management operation is closer to the amount of drainage during normal operation. be able to.

  Also in this pump facility 1-3, since the bypass pipe 51-3 penetrates the pump base 49-3 and is inserted into the suction water tank 10-3, it is completely unnecessary to provide an opening in the floor 20-3. Thus, there is no fear of damaging the civil engineering reinforcement in the floor 20-3, and construction or modification of existing facilities can be easily performed, and the reliability of the facilities can be improved. If the number of bypass pipes 51-3 is two or more, the amount of water during the management operation can be made closer to the amount of drainage during the normal operation, and a more reliable management operation is possible. Also in that case, it is preferable to pass all the bypass pipes 51-3 through the pump base 49-3 (of course, the floor 20-3 may be passed through).

  In the pump facility 1-3, the bypass pipe 51-3 is attached in the middle of the discharge pipe 39-3, but the bypass pipe 51-3 is connected to the pump body such as the discharge casing 37-3 and the suspension pipe 31-3. It may be attached.

[Fourth Embodiment]
FIG. 6 is a schematic configuration diagram of pump equipment 1-4 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. In the pump facility 1-4 shown in the figure, the same or corresponding parts as those in the pump facility 1-1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals (however, “-4” is assigned to each). Note that matters other than those described below are the same as those of the pump equipment 1-1 shown in FIGS.

  This pump facility 1-4 differs from the pump facility 1-1 in that two pumps 30-4 and 30-4 each having a discharge valve 47-4 are installed on the discharge side, and each discharge valve 47- 4 is connected to a bypass pipe 51-4 having a switching valve 53-4, and the outlets of the bypass pipe 51-4 are inserted into the suction water tank 10-4 for opening, and two pumps 30 are connected. This is in that the bypass pipes 51-4 of −4, 30-4 are communicated with each other by a communication pipe 55-4 having a switching valve 57-4. In this pump facility 1-4 as well, each bypass pipe 51-4 is inserted into the suction water tank 10-4 through the pump base 49-4.

  In the normal operation of the pump facility 1-4, in each of the pumps 30-4 and 30-4, as in the case of the pump facility 1-1, the discharge valve 47-4 is opened and the switching valves 53-4 and 57 are operated. -4 is performed in a closed state. Both pumps 30-4 and 30-4 are driven as needed, or one side pump 30-4 is driven.

  On the other hand, the management operation of the pump facility 1-4 is performed separately for the left and right pumps 30-4 and 30-4. For example, when performing the management operation of the left pump 30-4 shown in FIG. 6, first, the discharge valves 47-4 and 47-4 of both pumps 30-4 and 30-4 are closed, and the switching valve of both pumps 30-4 is closed. 53-4, 53-4 and the switching valve 57-4 of the communication pipe 55-4 are opened. In this state, the left pump 30-4 is operated, and the liquid in the suction water tank 10-4 sucked into the pump 30-4 is sent to the bypass pipe 51-4. Simultaneously with the discharge, the liquid branched into the communication pipe 55-4 is introduced into the bypass pipe 51-4 of the right pump 30-4, and discharged from the discharge port at the tip thereof into the suction water tank 10-4. At the same time, the suction bell mouth 35-5 is drained through the pump body of the right pump 30-4. When the management operation of the right pump 30-4 shown in FIG. 6 is performed, the right pump 30-4 may be driven with the valve opened and closed in the same manner as described above.

  That is, according to this pump equipment 1-4, it becomes the structure equivalent to the structure which provided the branch pipe line as shown to the said pump equipment 1-1, and draws in the liquid via the adjacent pump main body 10 -4, it is possible to perform a management operation close to the normal operation water amount as described in the pump facility 1-1, and to construct a more reliable management operation facility. Become.

  When both the pumps 30-4 and 30-4 of the pump facility 1-4 originally have the conventional bypass pipe 51-4, both the bypass pipes 51-4 and 51-4 are connected to the switching valve 57-4. The pump facility 1-4 can be configured simply by communicating with the communication pipe 55-4 having the following. In other words, it is not necessary to provide a new opening in the civil engineering structure (floor 20-4) or the pump base 49-4, and it is a highly economical facility that can easily modify existing facilities.

  Further, for example, when the operation is performed with the water level of the suction water tank 10-4 being low during the management operation, the discharge liquid of the bypass pipe 51-4 hits the water surface of the suction water tank 10-4, and the bypass pipe 51-4 is attached. There is a possibility that the pump 30-4 entrains and sucks air bubbles and adversely affects the pump 30-4. In such a case, for example, during the management operation of the left pump 30-4 in FIG. 6, the discharge valves 47-4 and 47-4 of both pumps 30-4 and 30-4 are closed and the communication pipe 55-4 is closed. The switching valve 57-4 and the switching valve 53-4 of the right pump 30-4 are opened, and the switching valve 53-4 of the left pump 30-4 is closed. When the left pump 30-4 is operated in this state, the liquid in the suction water tank 10-4 sucked into the pump 30-4 is sent to the bypass pipe 51-4 attached to the pump 30-4. The discharge port is not discharged, but all is introduced into the communication pipe 55-4, the discharge port of the bypass pipe 51-4 of the right pump 30-4, and the suction bell mouth of the pump body of the right pump 30-4. 35 and discharged. As a result, entrainment of bubbles in the pump 30-4 during the management operation can be prevented, and at the same time, the liquid can be returned to the suction water tank 10-4 through a plurality of flow paths, so that the amount of water during the management operation is reduced to the amount of drainage during the normal operation. It can be close to each other and can perform reliable management operation.

  In this pump facility 1-4, an example in which two pumps 30-4 and 30-4 are installed is shown, but the present invention can be similarly applied to a case where three or more pumps are installed. That is, in this pump equipment 1-4, since the bypass pipes 51-4 of two or more pumps 30-4 can be shared by the communication pipe 55-4, a plurality of bypass pipes 51- are provided for each pump 30-4. 4, the management operation close to the normal operation water volume can be performed by performing the management operation by opening and closing the switching valves 53-4 and 57-4 and the discharge valve 47-4, and the management operation with high reliability. It becomes possible to construct equipment.

  In the pump facility 1-4, as shown in FIG. 6, the communication pipe 55-4 is connected to the upstream side of the switching valve 53-4 of the bypass pipe 51-4, but the switching valve 53-4 is connected to the pump discharge pipe. 39-4 and the bypass pipe 51-4 may be provided while branching, and the communication pipe 55-4 and the switching valve 57-4 may be connected to the downstream side of the switching valve 53-4. Moreover, in the said pump installation 1-4, although the open end of the discharge port of the bypass pipe 51-4 is made into the upper surface (in air | atmosphere) of the suction water tank 10-4, as shown to the said pump installation 1-3, You may arrange | position this discharge port in the position lower than the suction water tank water level WL at the time of management operation of the suction water tank 10-4. Also in the pump facility 1-4, the bypass pipe 51-4 is attached in the middle of the discharge pipe 39-4, but the bypass pipe 51-4 is a pump body such as the discharge casing 37-4 and the suspension pipe 31-4. You may attach to.

[Fifth Embodiment]
FIG. 7 is a schematic configuration diagram of a pump facility 1-5 according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a bypass for the pump 30-5 when the pump facility 1-5 is viewed from the BB direction shown in FIG. It is a principal part schematic plan view which shows the installation state of the pipe | tube 51-5. In the pump facility 1-5 shown in the figure, the same or corresponding parts as those of the pump facility 1-1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals (however, “−5” is assigned to each). Note that matters other than those described below are the same as those of the pump equipment 1-1 shown in FIGS.

  This pump facility 1-5 is different from the pump facility 1-1 in that two pumps 30-5 and 30-5 each having a discharge valve 47-5 are installed on the discharge side, and each discharge valve 47- 5 is that the upstream side of the pipe 5 is directly communicated with the bypass pipe 51-5 and a bypass valve 59-5 is provided in the bypass pipe 51-5.

  The normal operation of the pump facility 1-5 is performed in the pumps 30-5 and 30-5 with the discharge valve 47-5 opened and the bypass valve 59-5 closed. If necessary, both pumps 30-5 and 30-5 are driven, or one pump 30-5 is driven.

  On the other hand, the management operation of the pump facility 1-5 is performed separately for the left and right pumps 30-5 and 30-5. For example, in the management operation of the upper pump 30-5 shown in FIG. 8, first, the discharge valves 47-5 and 47- of both pumps 30-5 and 30-5 are stopped in a state where both pumps 30-5 and 30-5 are stopped. 5 is closed and the bypass valve 59-5 is opened. In this state, the upper pump 30-5 is operated, and the liquid in the suction water tank 10-5 sucked into the pump 30-5 is lowered through the bypass pipe 51-5. The pump 30-5 is introduced and discharged from the suction bell mouth 35-5 through the pump body of the lower pump 30-4. The management operation of the lower pump 30-5 shown in FIG. 8 is also performed by driving the lower pump 30-5 with the valve opened and closed in the same manner as described above.

  In the case of this pump facility 1-5, the bypass pipe 51-5 having a large diameter can be easily formed without sticking to the allowable opening dimensions (strength and space restrictions) of the civil engineering frame such as the floor 20-5 and the pump base 49-5. It can be installed and the pipeline loss during management operation can be greatly reduced. At the same time, the liquid can be returned to the suction tank 10-5 through the pump body of another pump 30-5. From this point as well, the pipeline loss during the management operation can be reduced, and the management operation with a water amount closer to the normal operation becomes possible. Highly reliable management operation can be performed. Further, by discharging the liquid during the management operation from the other pump 30-5, it is possible to efficiently (largely) circulate the water in the suction water tank 10-5, which is effective in preventing deterioration of water quality. Further, bubbles are not generated due to the water hitting the water surface during the management operation, and bubbles can be prevented from being caught in the pump 30-5.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a QH curve of the pump 30-5 and pipe loss curves L1, L2, and L6 during normal operation and management operation. As shown in the figure, the amount of water to be drained can be increased more than twice in the case of the pump facility 1-5 as compared with the conventional example in which the drainage is directly returned to the suction water tank 10-5 by one bypass pipe. The difference between the pipeline loss curve L6 during the management operation and the pipeline loss curve L1 during the normal operation can be reduced, and the operation is performed in a state (load) that is close to the actual drainage operation. I can confirm.

  As described above, according to this pump facility 1-5, it is not necessary to provide an opening for passing the bypass pipe 51-5 in the civil engineering structure or the pump base 49-5. Since the fluid pumped in 30-5 is returned to the suction water tank 10-5 from the pump body of another pump 30-5 through the bypass pipe 51-5, the pipe loss during the management operation can be reduced, and the amount of water closer to normal operation Can be operated with high reliability and can be operated with high reliability. In the pump facility 1-5, an example in which two pumps 30-5 and 30-5 are installed has been described. However, the present invention can be similarly applied to a case in which three or more pumps are installed.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims and the specification and drawings. Is possible. Note that any shape or structure not directly described in the specification and drawings is within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention as long as the effects and advantages of the present invention are achieved. For example, the present invention can be similarly applied to various vertical axis pumps, horizontal axis pumps, and mixed flow pumps other than the above-described vertical axis pumps as long as the pump pumps the liquid in the suction water tank.
