Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an impeller for centrifugal pumps, particularly of the type with one or more stages.
- As is known, a centrifugal pumps has an impeller conventionally made of a pair of shaped disk bodies facing each other so as to form a gap within which a series of vanes that connect the two disks are arranged.
- Centrally to each impeller there is a hub, or an equivalent coupling device, that allows to fasten the impeller to a transmission shaft that is turned by a motor means.
- Although impellers of the known type are widely used, they have drawbacks; among these, perhaps the most important is linked to the generation of axial thrusts.
- The impeller of a centrifugal pump is in fact subjected to different pressures that act on the two faces: a pressure lower than the atmospheric pressure generally acts on the inlet side, while a pressure substantially equal to the delivery pressure acts on the opposite face. This produces an axial thrust which can even be considerable, such as to create great losses in terms of efficiency and overloads that damage the bearings of the motor.
- Those problems are emphasized in the case of multistage pumps.
- In an attempt to solve the problems linked to the generation of axial thrusts, some manufacturers of multistage pumps key half of the impellers in the opposite direction with respect to the remaining ones.
- However, such solution creates significant difficulties in making the internal passage channels.
- The prior art also includes a impeller for centrifugal pumps disclosed in the Italian patent application no. VI2014A000271, to this same applicant. Such impeller effectively solves the problems described above, but requires the provision of disk elements having different diameters.
- The aim of the invention is to solve the problems described above, providing a impeller for centrifugal pumps that allows to reduce axial thrusts, at the same time ensuring maximum efficiency, and provides for the use of disk elements with the same diameter.
- Within the scope of this aim, a particular object of the invention is to provide an impeller that allows to solve the problems linked to the traction that is usually generated on the transmission shaft.
- Another object of the invention is to provide an impeller that allows to preserve the bearings of the motor.
- Another object of the invention is to provide an impeller that can be manufactured with a small number of components and is therefore advantageous also from a purely economic standpoint.
- This aim, these objects and others that will become better apparent hereinafter are achieved by an impeller for centrifugal pumps comprising a first disk element, functionally arranged toward the inlet, which is coaxial to and faces a second disk element, which is functionally arranged toward the delivery; said second disk element being connected rigidly to said first disk element by angularly spaced vanes and being centrally provided with a fastening means for fastening to a transmission shaft; said impeller being characterized in that it comprises openings formed in the substantially peripheral region of said second disk element, between pairs of adjacent vanes, substantially at the areas subjected to the greatest axial thrust.
- The present invention also relates to a centrifugal pump comprising a substantially hollow body that accommodates at least one impeller that is fastened to a transmission shaft which can rotate about a rotation axis; said transmission shaft being rotated by a motor means; said impeller comprising a first disk element, functionally arranged toward the inlet, which is coaxial to and faces a second disk element, which is functionally arranged toward the delivery; said second disk element being connected rigidly to said first disk element by angularly spaced vanes and being centrally provided with a fastening means for fastening to a transmission shaft; said impeller being characterized in that it comprises openings formed in the substantially peripheral region of said second disk element, between pairs of adjacent vanes, substantially at the areas subjected to the greatest axial thrust.
- The impeller according to the invention allows to considerably reduce the axial thrusts but at the same time ensure maximum efficiency and head.
- In fact, by emptying the areas that are subjected to the highest pressure in the second disk element, i.e. by forming the openings, it is possible to reduce the forces that generate the axial thrust.
- Also, head and efficiency are not reduced because the profile of these openings is fully included within the second disk element.
- The impeller according to the present invention allows to solve the problems linked to the traction that is usually generated on the transmission shaft of centrifugal pumps with one or more stages. This allows, for example, to avoid damage to the bearings of the motor.

FIGS. 1 to 3 illustrate an impeller for a centrifugal pumps, globally designated by thereference numeral 1, according to the invention. - The example illustrated herein relates to the case in which the
impeller 1 is used in a multistage centrifugal pump; however, it is evident to the person skilled in the art that the impeller according to the present invention can also be fitted on pumps of another type. - The multistage centrifugal pump, which is per se known and is not shown in the figures, is constituted by a substantially hollow body that accommodates a set of impellers provided according to the present invention, which are coaxially fastened to a transmission shaft that is turned by a motor means.
- The
impeller 1 includes afirst disk element 2, which is functionally arranged towards the inlet, and asecond disk element 3, which is functionally arranged towards the delivery. - The diameter of the
second disk element 3 is substantially equal to, or slightly smaller than, the diameter of thefirst disk element 2. - The two
disk elements rotation axis 1000 and face each other so as to form a substantially cylindrical interspace. -
Vanes 4 are arranged within the interspace and rigidly connect thefirst disk element 2 to thesecond disk element 3. - The
vanes 4, which are angularly distributed around therotation axis 1000, extend from the center toward the peripheral region of the twodisk elements - In the illustrated solution, for example, the
vanes 4 are curved so as to form ducts that diverge and are arranged radially. - Advantageously, the
second disk element 3 is fastened to a transmission shaft by means of a fastening means. The transmission shaft, which is not shown in the figures, rotates about therotation axis 1000. - The fastening means comprises a
hub 5, which can be associated mechanically with the transmission shaft, provided at the center of thesecond disk element 3. - A through
hole 6 is centrally provided on thefirst disk element 2, opposite to thehub 5; the throughhole 6 has a diameter that is larger than that of the transmission shaft. - The through
hole 6 is connected to acollar 7 that protrudes from thefirst disk element 2. - In practice, when the
impeller 1 is mounted on the transmission shaft, thecollar 7 surrounds the shaft, forming an annular opening that constitutes the intake of the impeller. - According to the present invention, the
impeller 1 includes a series of openings formed in the substantially peripheral region of thesecond disk element 3, between pairs ofadjacent vanes 4, in which it is possible to identify the areas of the disk that are subject to the greatest axial thrust. - The radially peripheral side of each opening extends for a distance that is shorter than that of the peripheral edge of the
second disk element 3, with respect to therotation axis 1000. - In other words, the openings are completely included within the profile of the
second disk element 3. - In the embodiment shown in
FIGS. 1 to 3 , the openings are constituted by shapedslots 8 provided in the peripheral region of thesecond disk element 3, between pairs ofadjacent vanes 4. - Each contoured
slot 8 has an arc-like profile 9, at the radially peripheral side; the arc-like profile 9 has a convexity facing therotation axis 1000. - The arc-
like profile 9 is connected with an oppositecontoured profile 10, which, in the example shown inFIGS. 1 to 3 , has a curved portion, with the convexity facing therotation axis 1000. -
FIGS. 4 to 6 show an impeller, generally designated by thereference numeral 101, which is similar to theimpeller 1 but is provided with contouredprofiles 110 with the convexity facing the outside of thesecond disk element 3. - According to the embodiment shown in
FIGS. 7 to 9 , in which the impeller according to the invention is generally designated by thereference numeral 201, the arc-like profiles 9 and the contouredprofiles 10, or likewise the contouredprofiles 110, of thecontoured slots 8 are joined by one or more radiallyextended tabs 211 that have the function of stiffening the structure. - According to the embodiment illustrated in
FIGS. 10 to 12 , in which the impeller according to the invention is designated by thereference numeral 301, the openings are constituted by throughholes 308 provided in the substantially peripheral region of thesecond disk element 3, between pairs ofadjacent vanes 4. - In the example shown in
FIGS. 10 to 12 , the centers of the throughholes 308 are arranged substantially along an arc of a circumference that is centered on therotation axis 1000; however, it is evident to the person skilled in the art that the through holes might be arranged in other equivalent manners. - For example,
FIGS. 13 to 15 show a impeller, designated by thereference numeral 401, which is similar to theimpeller 301 but has throughholes 408 that are formed substantially along multiple arcs which are concentric and centered with respect to therotation axis 1000. -
FIGS. 16 to 18 show an impeller, according to the invention, generally designated by thereference numeral 501, which includes throughholes 508 provided in thesecond disk element 3, between pairs ofadjacent vanes 4, and arranged substantially along arcs of a circumference the center of which is arranged outside the disk. - In the embodiments shown in
FIGS. 4 to 18 , the elements that correspond to the elements that have already been described with reference to the embodiment shown inFIGS. 1 to 3 have been designated by the same reference numerals. - The impeller according to the invention may be manufactured by means of various techniques, by using metallic materials such as, for example, steel, stainless steel, die-cast steel, cast iron, brass, and the like, or other materials provided with the necessary technological characteristics, such as for example some techno-polymers.
- Also, it should be noted that the details of construction of the
contoured slots 8 and/or of the throughholes - As regards the operation of the impeller according to the invention, experimental tests and careful analysis of the results have allowed to observe that the openings provided in the
second disk element 3 entail a higher fluid-dynamics efficiency and a good head for an equal reduction of axial thrusts. - In practice it has been found that the impeller for centrifugal pumps, according to the invention, fully achieves the intended aim, since it allows to reduce considerably the axial thrusts but at the same time ensure maximum efficiency and head.
- In fact, by emptying the areas that are subjected to the highest pressure in the second disk element, i.e., by forming the openings, it is possible to reduce the forces that generate the axial thrust.
- Also, head and efficiency are not reduced because the profile of these openings is fully included within the second disk element.
- The impeller according to the present invention therefore allows to solve the problems linked to the traction that is usually generated on the transmission shaft of centrifugal pumps with one or more stages. This allows, for example, to avoid damage to the bearings of the motor.
- The impeller for centrifugal pumps, and the centrifugal pump thus conceived are susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the inventive concept; all the details may furthermore be replaced with other technically equivalent elements.
- In practice, the materials used, so long as they are compatible with the specific use, as well as the contingent shapes and dimensions, may be any according to the requirements of the state of the art.
- This application claims the priority of Italian Patent Application No. VI2015A000081, filed on Mar. 20, 2015, the subject matter of which is incorporated herein by reference.
