Definitions

  • the invention concerns a pump impeller and more precisely a pump impeller for centrifugal-or half axial pumps for pumping of fluids containing pollutants.
  • Sewage water contains a lot of different types of pollutants, the amount and structure of which depend on the season and type of area from which the water emanates.
  • plastic material, hygiene articles, textile etc are common, while industrial areas may produce wearing particles.
  • the worst problems are rags and the like which stick to the leading edges of the vanes and become wound around the impeller hub. Such incidents cause frequent service intervals and a reduced efficiency.
  • closed pump impellers are often used, i.e. such with two cover discs, an upper and a lower as well as intermediate vanes, because these types of impellers reduce the axial load on the pump in comparison to the open type impellers.
  • closed impellers have a lesser lead-through, which means higher risk for clogging.
  • EP 0395604 discloses an impeller wheel, which is arranged with one or several vanes that are attached to cover discs on each side forming a so called closed impeller wheel.
  • the leading edges of the vanes are placed generally in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the impeller, at the inlet opening in one of the cover discs.
  • closed impeller wheels they are generally designed with leading edges placed in the central inlet such that they are rather straight as seen in the flow direction. It has been found that during use, and in particular when the liquid contains rather large quantities of abrasive pollution, there is considerable wear on the leading edges of the vanes. There is further a risk that pollutants such as rags, plastic bags and other elongated objects get stuck on the leading edges, thereby requiring cleaning of the pump.
  • the aim of the present invention is to remedy the above mentioned problems and in particular in connection with closed impeller wheels.
  • an impeller wheel of a centrifugal or half axial type to be used in a pump for pumping liquids wherein the impeller is arranged with one or several vanes, that the vanes are attached to cover discs on each side, forming a so called closed impeller wheel, characterized in that the leading edges of the vanes are swept backwards at the inlet opening in one of the cover discs of the impeller.
  • leading edges co-operate with cutting means arranged in a central inlet opening of the pump
  • leading edges protrude somewhat out of the inlet opening, and that the cutting means constitute at least one narrowing section of the gap between the central inlet opening of the pump and the leading ledges of the impeller, whereby, when the leading edges sweep past these sections during operation, a cutting action is obtained there between.
  • the leading edge of the vanes co-operate with two narrowing parts of the inlet opening of the pump housing.
  • the sweep angle ⁇ should be in the region 40-60° and the sweeping of the leading edges may generally follow the curvature of a logarithmic spiral.
  • FIG. 1 is an axial cross-section through a pump according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 a is a perspective view from above of an impeller wheel comprising the present invention
  • FIG. 2 b is a view corresponding to FIG. 2 a from below
  • FIG. 3 is a view from below of the impeller wheel of FIG. 2 .
  • FIG. 4 is a bottom plate to be mounted in a pump and co-operating with the impeller wheel according to FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 1 shows an impeller wheel of the closed type mounted in a pump comprising a drive shaft 10 connected to an electrical motor (not shown) for driving the pump.
  • a pump impeller 12 is mounted, comprising upper 14 and lower 16 cover discs, vanes 18 and back vanes 19 .
  • the above mentioned components are mounted in a pump housing 20 , having a bottom wall 22 , an inlet 24 and an outlet 26 .
  • the pump impeller 12 is mounted such in the pump housing that there is a gap 28 between the peripheral surface of the lower cover disc 16 and an inner side wall of the pump housing 20 , a space 29 between the lower disc and the bottom wall as well as a gap 30 between a lower surface of the lower cover disc 16 and an upper surface of the bottom wall 22 .
  • the liquid is sucked in axially through the inlet 24 and leaves the pump through the outlet 26 according to flow arrows A, B and C.
  • the vanes 18 are designed such that the leading edges 40 are swept strongly backwards at the inlet opening 42 of the impeller wheel, in relation to the direction of rotation R.
  • the sweep angle could be increased from the hub and outwards.
  • the sweep of the leading edges could be defined by a logarithmic spiral where the sweep angle ⁇ is ⁇ /2 ⁇ , where ⁇ is the angle of the logarithmic spiral.
  • the sweep angle should be in the region 40-60°.
  • the leading edges are placed generally in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation 10 of the impeller.
  • the advantage with this design is to make sure that pollutants slide towards the periphery instead of getting stuck on the edges. It has further been shown that the wear on the leading edges are reduced when they have this configuration instead of the conventional design.
  • leading edges protrude somewhat out of the central opening of the impeller, FIG. 1 .
  • the edge parts 44 of the vanes protruding above the bottom surface of the lower cover disc 16 can be arranged to co-operate with the edge part 46 of the stationary inlet 24 of the housing arranged in a bottom plate 22 .
  • the circular inlet is thus arranged with two oppositely arranged straight parts 50 whereby the gap between the vanes and the edge part of the inlet becomes very small. Elongated pollution such as rags, plastic bags and the like that have been stuck on the leading edges of the vanes will be cut here.
