Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-stage centrifugal pump with multi-stage centrifugal pump with a foot part, a head part, a wall part which connects the foot part to the head part and surrounds the pump stages at the outer periphery, and with a motor stool connecting to the head part and for receiving an electric motor provided for the drive of the centrifugal pump.

  • multi-stage, vertically operated centrifugal pumps with which at least two pump stages are arranged in a pump casing between a foot part and a head part of the pump casing, and are surrounded at the outer periphery by a wall part connecting the foot part to the head part.
  • a suction branch and a delivery branch of the centrifugal pump are formed on the foot part.
  • the fluid to be delivered by the centrifugal pump gets through the suction branch firstly into a first pump stage and from there further to the last pump stage, from where it is again led back again into the foot part and there is led out of the centrifugal pump via the delivery branch.
  • the pump shaft of the centrifugal pump which connects the impellers of the individual pump stages, is led out through the head part in a sealing manner, where it is coupled in movement to the motor shaft of an electrical drive motor which is mounted on a motor stool typically formed from cast steel, in a manner distanced axially to the head part.
  • the motor stool is either an integral constituent of the head part or is releasably fastened on the head part, wherein rod bolts connect the motor stool to the foot part.
  • the multistage centrifugal pump according to the invention comprises a head part and a foot part, between which at least two pump stages each with an impeller are arranged.
  • this centrifugal pump it is preferably the case of a vertically operated centrifugal pump, which is to say a centrifugal pump which is operated standing on the foot part and with vertically aligned impeller axes, but it is to be noted that with regard to the centrifugal pump according to the invention, it can also be the case of a centrifugal pump operated in any other position.
  • the centrifugal pump according to the invention moreover comprises a motor stool which connects to the head part and is for receiving an electric motor provided for operation of the centrifugal pump.
  • the electric motor is mounted on the motor stool in a manner distanced to the head part in the direction of the middle axis of the centrifugal pump, wherein an end of a pump shaft connected to the impellers of the pump stages and which projects out of the head part can be coupled to a motor shaft of the electric motor in the region of the motor stool.
  • the centrifugal pump according to the invention is characterized in that the wall part of the pump casing extends beyond the head part in the axial direction, which is to say in the direction of the middle axis of the centrifugal pump or in the direction of its impeller axes, and is connected to the motor stool for receiving the electric motor.
  • the centrifugal pump according to the invention it is thus no longer the head part but instead it is the wall part which surrounds the pump stages of the centrifugal pump at the outer periphery which carries the motor stool.
  • the fashioning freedom with regard to the design of the centrifugal pump is increased to a significant extent by way of this.
  • This for example relates to the design of the head part which can be simplified with regard to design and manufacturing technology due to its static loading which is significantly reduced in comparison to the known centrifugal pumps.
  • the rod bolts which have hitherto been used for the connection of the motor stool to the foot part are no longer required with the centrifugal pump according to the invention.
  • Completely new possibilities also result with regard to the overall optical appearance of the centrifugal pump, so that the centrifugal pump can be designed in an optically more pleasing manner.
  • the wall part is preferably formed by a tube, in which the head part is integrated, which is simple with regard to design and manufacturing technology.
  • the tube it can either be the case of a tube with a welded seam or a seamless tube.
  • the tube can be manufactured for example by way of deep-drawing, by which means the wall thickness of the wall part can be easily determined.
  • the tube independently of its design, at one end is usefully connected to the foot part in a pressure-tight manner.
  • the head part in a section of the tube which is adjacent to the other end of the tube, is inserted at a distance to this end and is likewise connected to the tube in a pressure-tight manner.
  • the head part is preferably welded in the tube in this position.
  • the welding connection of the head part and the tube can be provided within the tube, or the weld connection can be carried out from the outer side of the tube.
  • the motor stool preferably comprises an annular flange which is arranged at the end of the section of the wall part which extends beyond the head part.
  • the annular flange is advantageously an aluminum injection molded part, as is preferably also the complete motor stool.
  • the radial dimensions of the annular flange are preferably such that the outer periphery of the annular flange is aligned to the outer periphery of the wall part, so that the annular flange extends radially only into the clearance or in the direction of the inside of the wall part, but at the outer side does not project beyond the outer periphery of the wall part.
  • the annular flange is configured in a shouldered manner, wherein it comprises a section engaging into the inside of the wall part, and a section lying on the end of the wall part.
  • the outer diameter of the section engaging into the inside of the wall part usefully corresponds to the inner diameter of the wall part, so that the wall part at its free end which is away from the foot part can be supported in the radial direction on the section engaging into the inside of the wall part, which gives the section of the wall part which forms the motor stool an increased stability.
  • the annular flange advantageously forms the complete motor stool.
  • a design, with which the annular flange is configured for fastening the electric motor is preferred.
  • the electric motor is hereby mounted on the flat side of the annular flange which is away from the foot part.
  • the fastening of the electric motor on the annular flange is usefully effected in the region of the annular flange which extends into the clearance of the wall part, where the fastening means on the annular flange side are preferably arranged for fastening the electric motor on the annular flange.
  • the annular flange is configured for fastening different electric motors.
  • an attachment which projects in the axial direction and at whose end, which is away from the annular flange, a fastening flange for the electric motor is arranged, can be arranged on the annular flange for forming the motor stool.
  • This design has been found to be advantageous for example if larger electric motors are used.
  • the attachment which projects axially on the annular flange permits the section of the wall part which projects beyond the head part of the centrifugal pump to be designed in a comparatively short manner, which has a positive effect on the bending and torsional stiffness of this section.
  • the fastening flange which is arranged on the end of the attachment which is away from the annular flange in the case of smaller electric motors can be dimensioned such that it is arranged within the clearance of the wall part, or with electric motors of a larger construction type or electric motors with a larger counter-flange than the fastening flange, can also project radially beyond the outer contour of the wall part.
  • At least one window is formed on the section of the wall part which extends beyond the head part.
  • This window is to be understood as a larger recess which is provided on the wall part and via which the inside of the wall part is accessible in the region of the section forming the motor stool, for maintenance and repair purposes.
  • the at least one window is thus integrated into the wall part.
  • On dimensioning the window one is to take into account the fact that the wall part has to carry the weight of an electric motor, i.e. the at least one window where possible should have no influence on the mechanical stability of the wall part and accordingly should not be too large.
  • a mechanical weakening of the wall part which is caused by the at least one window can have an unfavorable effect with regard to an undesirable natural frequency excitation of the wall part should be taken into account.
  • One step directed toward this can lie in increasing the wall thickness of the wall part in the section projecting beyond the head part, with respect to the wall thickness at the remaining wall part.
  • a cover plate of the window can provide a supporting function.
  • the mechanical structure can also be stabilized by way of suitable mechanical deformations being formed in the wall part.

  • two bleed valves are provided on the head part with the centrifugal pump according to the invention, and these are arranged together in a plane running through the middle axis of the centrifugal pump and its head part, on two sides which are away from the middle axis.
  • the two windows formed on the wall part are favorably arranged lying diametrically opposite one another and radially at the outer side of the bleed valves.
  • the head part of the centrifugal pump according to the invention is preferably designed as a deep-drawn part of preferably stainless steel. Accordingly, a comparatively thin-walled sheet of steel and preferably of stainless steel, which is brought into a preferably arched shape by way of a deep-drawing procedure, can be used for the manufacture of the head part.
  • the head part of the centrifugal pump according to the invention thus has a significantly reduced weight compared to the head parts which until now have been formed from cast steel, and this also has a positive effect on the total weight of the centrifugal pump.
  • the corrosion resistance of the head part has-been found to be advantageous when using stainless steel.
  • the wall part is connected to the foot part usefully in a releasable manner for maintenance, cleaning or repair purposes.
  • the wall part being clamped on the foot part with a clamping ring.

Accordingly, the clamping ring comprises several ring segments which, arranged next to one another in the peripheral direction and connected to one another, result in the clamping ring.
  • This divided or split design of the clamping ring is advantageous inasmuch as it permits a simple arrangement of the clamping ring at the outside of the wall part and ensures a uniform force transmission from the clamping ring onto the wall part.

  • the attachment 76 is formed by two webs 78 which are arranged lying opposite one another on the annular flange 24 and taper obliquely to a middle axis X of the centrifugal pump. Of the two webs 78 , only one web 78 is visible in each case in the FIGS. 12 and 13 .
  • a fastening flange 80 is arranged on the attachment 76 at the end of this which is away from the annular flange 24 ′.
  • the fastening flange 80 serves for fastening an electric motor 20 which is screwed with a counter-flange on the fastening flange 80 .
  • the annular flange 24 ′, the attachment 76 and the fastening flange 80 thus form a motor stool for the electric motor 20 , wherein the coupling of the pump shaft to the drive shaft of the motor 20 , said coupling not being represented in FIGS. 12 and 13 and being arranged between the fastening flange 80 and the annular flange 24 ′, is easily accessible on this motor stool via intermediate spaces between the webs 78 forming the attachment 76 , as is also the case with the components on the head part 14 and which are likewise to some extent not represented.
  • FIGS. 12 and 13 The fastening of the motor stool of the centrifugal pump which is represented in FIGS. 12 and 13 is particularly evident from FIG. 13 .
  • Two rectangular openings 82 are formed on the wall part 16 ′, in a manner lying diametrically opposite one another and just below the region, in which the section 26 ′ of the annular element 24 ′ engages into the inside of the wall part 16 ′, in order to fasten the motor stool.
  • the openings 82 in each case serve for receiving a fastening element 84 .
  • the fastening elements 84 each comprise a base body 86 with a rectangular cross-sectional contour which corresponds to the openings 82 and which engages from the outer side of the wall part 16 ′ through the opening 82 into the inside of the wall part 16 ′, and an end section 88 which projects beyond the cross-sectional contour of the base body 86 and comes to bear on the outer side of the wall part 16 ′.
  • a threaded hole 90 which in the installed condition of the fastening element 84 on the wall part 16 ′ is aligned parallel to the middle axis X of the centrifugal pump extends through the base body 86 of the fastening elements 84 .
  • Two through-holes 92 are formed on the annular flange 24 ′, in a manner corresponding to the position of the threaded hole 90 in the installed condition of the fastening elements 84 on the wall part 16 ′. These through-holes 92 serve in each case for receiving a head screw 94 which is screwed into the threaded hole 90 of the fastening element 84 , by which means the motor stool is fastened on the wall part 16 ′.
  • the centrifugal pump represented in FIG. 14 corresponds essentially to the centrifugal pump represented in FIGS. 12 and 13 and differs from this only with regard to the fastening of the motor stool on the wall part 16 ′.
  • This fastening is effected by way of a weld connection of the annular flange 24 ′ to the wall part 16 in the region, in which the section 26 ′ engages into the inside of the wall part 6 ′.
  • the centrifugal pump which is represented in FIG. 15 is based essentially on the centrifugal pump represented in FIGS. 1-11 and differs from the latter mentioned centrifugal pump merely with regard to the design of the motor stool.
  • This motor stool comprises an annular flange 24 ′′ which differs from the annular flange 24 of the centrifugal pump represented in FIGS. 1-11 only with regard to the axial dimensions of the section 28 ′′.
  • a fastening flange 80 ′ is arranged on the flat side of the section 28 ′ which is away from the wall part 16 .
  • the fastening flange 80 ′ is configured for fastening electric motors 20 to a larger counter-flange 96 and for this purpose extends radially beyond the outer periphery of the wall part 16 .
  • the fastening flange 80 ′ in this region extending beyond the outer periphery of the wall part 16 is supported on several reinforcement ribs 98 which project radially on the outer periphery of the section 28 ′′ of the annular flange 24 ′′.
