The stator can 35 is welded in a liquid-tight manner, and the rotor 16 and the stator 26 are disposed to face each other via a can gap 36.

  The rear bearing box 25 is provided with a lubricating liquid inlet 37. In this embodiment, the lubricating liquid is a discharge liquid of the gas-liquid dispersion pump according to this embodiment, and is discharged from the lubricating liquid outlet 38 and supplied to the lubricating liquid inlet 37 through the lubricating liquid conduit 46.

  The casing 39 is fastened and fixed to the front bearing box 24 in a liquid-tight manner. The housing 39 and the front bearing box 24 define a storage chamber 40.

  The housing 39 is provided with a liquid supply port 44 and a liquid outlet 43. The liquid supply port 44 is provided at the extended position of the rotating shaft 17 of the rotor 16, and the liquid outlet 43 is provided on a surface located in a direction intersecting the rotating shaft 17 of the housing 39.

  An impeller 48 is stored in the storage chamber 40. The impeller 48 is fastened by a bolt 49 to the tip of the rotating shaft 17 of the canned motor 12. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the impeller 48 is configured by a closed type centrifugal impeller, and the impeller main body 50 includes a centrifugal blade 51 for liquid feeding inside. A circulation blade 52 is provided on the rear surface side of the impeller main body 50. The circulation blade 52 is configured to have a larger diameter than the centrifugal blade 51.

  The impeller 48 is configured so that a sufficient gap is generated between the facing surface 24 a of the impeller body 50 of the front bearing box 24 and the impeller 48 in the housing chamber 40. The interior of the storage chamber 40 is divided into a liquid feeding space 41 and a circulation space 42 by the impeller main body 50. In the liquid feeding space 41, the fluid in the storage chamber 40 is conveyed to the liquid outlet 43 side by the centrifugal blades 51 of the impeller 48. In the circulation space 42, the supplied fluid is fed to the centrifugal blades 51 and the circulation blades of the impeller 48. Due to the pressure difference generated by 52, the impeller body 50 circulates in the centrifugal direction and the centripetal direction.

  A bubble dispersion portion 53 is provided between the facing surface 24 a of the impeller body portion 50 of the front bearing box 24 and the impeller 48. The bubble dispersion part 53 is disposed in contact with the facing surface 24 a of the front bearing box 24 and spaced from the inner wall of the housing 39. A gap is provided between the bubble dispersion portion 53 and the circulation blade 52.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the bubble dispersion portion 53 includes a dispersion portion main body composed of two disks 54 and 55, and a gap between the disks 54 and 55 is dispersed over the entire circumference of the disks 54 and 55. A flow path 56 is formed.

The tip end portion of the protrusion is tapered, and the flow path reduction portion 56a in which the gap of the dispersion flow path 56 is reduced from the outer diameter side toward the inner diameter side, and the flow path reduction. On the inner diameter side of the portion 56a, a channel expanding portion 56b is formed in which the gap of the dispersion channel 56 expands from the outer diameter side toward the inner diameter side. A gap minimum portion 56c in which the gap of the dispersion channel 56 is minimized is provided between the channel reduction portion 56a and the channel expansion portion 56b.

  A gas supply flow path 45 provided as a pipe passing through the front bearing box 24 opens at a position close to the rotating shaft 17 in the liquid feeding space 41.

  Next, the operation of the gas-liquid dispersion pump 1a will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, the fluid supplied from the liquid supply port 44 is assumed to be liquid, and the fluid supplied from the gas supply flow path 45 and dispersed in the liquid at the bubble dispersion portion is assumed to be air.

  The lubricating liquid supplied to the canned motor 12 is injected from the lubricating liquid injection port 37 as indicated by arrows 81 and 82, and passes between the rear bearing 23 and the sleeve 19 as indicated by an arrow 83. Then, the bearing 23 is lubricated and cooled. Further, the rotor 16 and the stator 26 are cooled through the can gap 36, and the bearing 22 is lubricated and cooled by passing between the front bearing 22 and the sleeve 18 as indicated by an arrow 84. It returns to the inside and is discharged outside the device.

  When the rotating shaft 17 of the canned motor 12 rotates, the impeller 48 also rotates together, and the liquid is taken in from the liquid supply port 44 as indicated by an arrow 90. As the impeller 48 rotates, as indicated by an arrow 90, the liquid is sent in the centrifugal direction from the rotating shaft, and a part flows out from the liquid outlet 43.

  The pressure distribution of the liquid in the storage chamber 40 is generated by the rotation of the impeller 48. As the distance from the rotating shaft 17 increases, the pressure increases. As shown in FIG. 3, the region A2 farther from the rotating shaft 17 has a higher pressure than the region A1 closer to the rotating shaft 17.

  As indicated by an arrow 91, a part of the liquid that has not flowed out from the liquid outlet 43 moves to the circulation space 42 on the back surface of the impeller 48. In the circulation space 42, air and liquid taken in from the gas supply channel 45 exist. Since the pressure in the circulation space 42 is higher than the pressure in the fluid region A3 in the vicinity of the rotation shaft 17, the fluid moves in a direction approaching the rotation shaft 17.

  Since the bubble dispersion portion 53 is provided in close contact with the facing surface 24a of the front bearing box 24, the mixed fluid of the gas and the liquid flowing in the direction of the rotation shaft 17 passes through the dispersion flow path 56 of the bubble dispersion portion 53. It moves in a direction approaching the rotating shaft 17 through. Then, when the mixture of gas and liquid passes through the flow path reducing section 56a and the flow path expanding section 56b, the flow rate of the mixture of gas and liquid changes due to the change in the flow path gap, and the pressure changes. Refined.

  This gas refinement is mainly determined by the flow rate of the liquid, the amount of gas, the gap size of the gap minimum portion 56c and the flow path expanding portion 56b, and the like. For example, when the flow rate of the liquid is below a certain threshold value, the bubble diameter is not reduced, and sufficient miniaturization is not performed. In this case, the diameter of the bubbles to be refined can be adjusted mainly by the gap size between the gap minimum portion 56c and the flow path expanding portion 56a. On the other hand, when the flow velocity of the liquid is equal to or higher than the threshold value, the bubble diameter is reduced and sufficient miniaturization is performed. The channel expansion part 56b provided in the dispersion channel 56 exhibits the same effect as the Venturi tube, and the liquid accompanied by the gas passes through the dispersion channel 56 of the bubble dispersion unit 53, thereby miniaturizing the gas. be able to.

  Note that when the mixture of gas and liquid passes through the dispersion flow path 56 of the bubble dispersion portion 53, the gas supply flow path 45 becomes negative pressure due to the fluid flowing through the dispersion flow path 56, and the air is sucked and stored. It is supplied into the chamber 40.

  The circulation blade 52 provided on the rear surface side of the impeller main body 50 generates a radial flow, and moves the gas-liquid dispersion fluid in the circulation space 42 from the rotating shaft 17 side in the centrifugal direction. As described above, since the gas-liquid dispersion fluid that has been refined by passing through the bubble dispersion portion 53 is present in the vicinity of the rotation axis in the circulation space 42, this fluid is indicated by the arrow 92 as indicated by the arrow 92. Move in the centrifugal direction from the side. Since the circulation blade 52 is configured to have a larger diameter than the centrifugal blade 51 as described above, the pressure generated by the circulation blade 52 is larger than the pressure in the region A2 just outside the centrifugal blade 51. Become.

  Further, the rotation of the circulation blade 52 increases the pressure of the fluid in the region A3 in the vicinity of the rotation shaft 17 and the outer region A4 of the circulation blade 52, so that the fluid in the circulation space 41 of the impeller body 50 is in the centrifugal direction and the centripetal direction. Circulate and flow to. Further, due to the formation of a centrifugal pressure field by the rotation of the circulating blade, the fluid has a negative pressure at the outlet of the gas supply channel 45, and self-priming of air is promoted.

  In the present embodiment, in order to promote the circulation of the fluid in the circulation space 42, the disk 55 provided on the side near the impeller of the bubble dispersion portion 53 is provided with a partition portion 55 a extending to the rotating shaft side. ing. By partitioning the inside of the circulation space 41 by the disc 55, the fluid moves in the centrifugal direction in the space between the impeller body portion and the disc 55 where the circulation blades are located. Therefore, the disc 55 including the partition portion 55a and the impeller body In the space with the facing surface with respect to the portion, that is, the dispersion channel 56, the fluid easily moves in the centripetal direction. By adopting such a configuration, circulation of the fluid in the circulation space 41 is promoted, and the fluid passes through the bubble dispersion portion 53 more efficiently, so that the generation of fine bubbles can be promoted. it can.

  In the gas-liquid dispersion pump according to the present embodiment, a part of the fluid pressurized by the centrifugal blade 51 in the storage chamber 40 moves to the circulation space behind the centrifugal blade 51 and passes through the flow path of the bubble dispersion portion. It is configured as follows. Further, air can be self-supplied to the circulation flow path, and the self-supplied air can be merged with the flow of the centrifugal blade 51 and flow out from the liquid outlet 43. Moreover, since the bubble dispersion part is provided in the middle of the circulating flow and the bubbles can be made finer, the fluid can be transported and the fine bubbles can be generated with one apparatus. In addition, by providing a circulation blade in the storage chamber, even when used under pressurized conditions, a differential pressure can be generated, and a circulation flow in the circulation space can be easily generated. Can be made finer.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a modification of the bubble dispersion unit. The bubble dispersion part 53 of FIG. 4 is different from the bubble dispersion part of FIG. 1 in that it is not an annular slit but includes a tubular dispersion channel 56 that extends radially through the annular dispersion body. To do. Each of the annular dispersion channels 56 is provided with a channel reduction portion 56a in which the gap of the dispersion channel 56 is reduced from the outer diameter side toward the inner diameter side. Further, a flow path expanding part 56b is formed on the inner diameter side of the flow path reducing part 56a, and the gap of the dispersion flow path 56 expands from the outer diameter side toward the inner diameter side. A gap minimum portion 56c in which the gap of the dispersion flow path 56 is the smallest is provided between the enlarged portion 56b.

  Even in the bubble dispersion portion having the configuration shown in FIG. 4, the flow channel expanding portion 56 b provided in the dispersion flow channel 56 exhibits the same effect as the Venturi tube, and the liquid with the gas is dispersed in the bubble dispersion portion 53. By passing through the passage 56, the gas can be refined.

  As described above, according to the dispersion pump according to the embodiment of the present invention, a circulation space capable of circulating the fluid behind the centrifugal blade of the pump having the fluid conveyance function is secured and provided in the circulation space. By the bubble dispersal part, the gas dispersed in the fluid can be refined and dispersed. In order to pass the fluid in the flow path provided in the bubble dispersion portion in the circulation space, the pressure difference generated by the flow centrifugal blade can be used as a driving force. In addition, since the air bubbles refined by the circulation blades can be returned to the front side region and allowed to flow out from the liquid outlet, only the dispersion pump according to the present embodiment can disperse the fine air bubbles and discharge the dispersed fluid. it can.

  The size of the bubbles dispersed by the bubble dispersion unit is determined by the flow rate of the liquid, the amount of gas, the configuration of the bubble dispersion unit, and the like, and can be miniaturized to the microbubble level.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a gas-liquid dispersion pump according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Since the gas-liquid dispersion pump 1b according to the second embodiment has a configuration that is common to the gas-liquid dispersion pump 1a according to the first embodiment, the following description will focus on the parts that differ in configuration.

The disk-like member 53a constituting the bubble dispersion portion 53 is provided adjacent to the impeller facing surface 24a of the front bearing box 24, and a dispersion flow path is defined by a gap formed on both facing surfaces.

  Since the bubble dispersion part 53 is configured by a single cylindrical member 53a, the bubble dispersion part 53 is configured to be thin, and compared with the gas-liquid dispersion pump 1a according to the first embodiment. The thickness dimension of the front bearing box 24 is configured to be large. As a result, the dispersion space 43 can be made small, and the apparatus can be downsized. Note that the thickness dimension of the housing 39 may be reduced by the thickness of the bubble dispersion portion 53. Projections are provided on the surface on which the dispersion channel 56 is formed, and the projections form a channel reduction part 56a, a channel enlargement part 56b, and a minimum gap 56c.

In the vicinity of the minimum gap portion 56c, the dispersion flow path 56 is thin and the flow of the liquid is fast. Therefore, the gas supply flow path 45 is directly opened in the portion, so that the air can be miniaturized.
