All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1-2, a design method of a large-scale engineering pump volute and the volute thereof, which comprises a volute outlet 1, a diffuser 2, a throat 3, a fixed multi-flow channel 4, a movable guide vane 5, a fixed guide vane 6, an outlet guide vane 7, a tongue/tongue portion 8 and a flow channel gap 9, wherein the diffuser 2 is arranged at the outlet end of a pressurized water chamber, the volute outlet 1 is arranged at the outlet end of the diffuser 2, the throat 3 is arranged at the connecting part between the pressurized water chamber and the diffuser 2, a diffuser is arranged at the periphery of an impeller and comprises a plurality of movable guide vanes 5 distributed along the circumferential direction, and the tongue 8 is formed between the diffuser 2 and the volute wall, and is characterized in that: the periphery of the movable guide vane 5 is provided with a plurality of fixed guide vanes 6, the fixed guide vanes 6 divide a volute flow passage into fixed multi-flow passages 4, the center line/axis of the outlet guide vane 7 is collinear/parallel with the center line/axis of the diffusion section 2, the outlet guide vane 7 is generally tangent to a pumping chamber inlet base circle D3, a flow passage gap 9 is formed between the outlet end of the fixed guide vane 6 and the inlet end of the fixed guide vane 6 at the radial inner side adjacent to the outlet end of the fixed guide vane 6 or the pumping chamber inlet base circle D3, the inlet end of the outlet guide vane 7 is provided with a section I, a section II is arranged at the partition tongue 8, the section II is from the section II to the section I in the flow direction, the volute is an annular volute, and the flow passage cross section flow areas of the volutes are the same.
Further, as shown in fig. 3, the volute employs a substantially eccentric oval-section annular volute B, and the size of the oval eccentric long portion is 2 to 4 times, preferably 2.5 times, the size of the short portion in the oval long axis direction (X-axis direction).
Further, the stay vanes 6 are arc-shaped vanes, and the stay vanes 6 have the same or different central angles. Preferably, the stay vanes 6 have different central angles and the central angles increase progressively from section II to section I in the direction of flow. Specifically, from section II to section I in the flow direction, the downstream central angle is 1.05-1.25 times the upstream central angle.
Further, the flow passage gap 9 gradually increases from the section II to the section I in the flow direction. Specifically, the downstream flow channel gap 9 is 1.05-1.2 times the upstream flow channel gap 9 from section II to section I in the flow direction.
As shown in fig. 1, the volute has substantially the same cross-sectional flow area in the direction of flow from cross-section II to cross-section I, and then the clearance between the impeller outer circumference and the volute tongue 8 is increased, which has the advantage of reducing the impact of solid particles on the volute tongue, and the increased clearance between the tongue and the impeller reduces pressure pulsations and overall radial forces.
The diffusion section 2 is a pump body outlet, the diffusion section is from the throat 3 to the volute outlet 1, the area of a water flow channel is gradually increased, and the cross section of the diffusion section comprises a shape formed by a rectangle and/or an arc. The shape of the cross section of the water pumping chamber at the throat part 3 is the same as and coincided with the shape of the end surface of the diffuser section 2, and the structure ensures the smooth transition of the water pumping chamber and the diffuser section.
As shown in fig. 2, the annular volute has a larger, more uniform cross-sectional flow area than a conventional spiral volute. Too small a cross-sectional area of the volute can cause a hump in the pump head curve, thereby causing surge in the piping system. Under a rated working condition, the hydraulic performance is slightly reduced along with the increase of the overflowing area of the volute; when the operation of the pump deviates from the rated working condition, the hydraulic performance is improved under the condition that the flow area of the volute is larger; furthermore, as the volute flow area increases, the high efficiency zone will widen.
Instead of a conventional trapezoidal or semi-circular volute cross-section, the volute has a generally eccentric elliptical cross-section, which is advantageous for reducing pressure pulsations in the volute.
By using an annular volute, as shown in fig. 4(a), the radial force can be reduced in the low flow range; also, these volutes produce more lift and efficiency when the pump is operating below the optimum efficiency point. The interaction between the impeller blades and the volute diaphragm is reduced in these volutes due to the larger tip clearance, and therefore the pressure distribution around the impeller becomes more uniform. At design time, the pressure distribution around the impeller is not uniform due to the constant cross-sectional area volute, which results in the point of minimum radial force being at low flow, not the design flow.
The radial force distribution is shown as a quadrilateral from fig. 4(b), consistent with the impeller blade angle; in addition, along with the increase of the flow rate, the quadrangle rotates clockwise, the increase of the flow area of the volute can reduce the magnitude of radial force acting on the shaft, and particularly under the conditions of nominal flow rate and large flow rate, the vibration of the pump can be reduced, so that the operation stability of the pump is improved.
As shown in fig. 4(c), as can be seen from the broken line distribution of the fluctuation intensity coefficient in the center-of-annulus volute, the coefficient increases as a whole with the increase in flow rate; in addition, the polyline all shows four peaks, which correspond to the number of impeller blades, the equivalent deflection angle of the four peaks is 90 °, the maximum pressure pulsation occurs at about 30 ° behind the volute tongue, which means that the interaction between the impeller trailing edge and the volute tongue is the main cause of the pressure pulsation in the volute. Additionally, the increase in volute flow area will mitigate pressure pulsations in the volute regardless of the operating conditions of the pump.
Preferably, the stator vanes 6 are further designed to have different central angles, and the central angles gradually increase from section II to section I in the flow direction. The flow channel gap 9 gradually increases from section II to section I in the flow direction. The pressure pulsation and the radial force in the operation process of the pump can be further reduced, the corner vortex at the outlet of the fixed guide vane is reduced, the pressure fluctuation and the pressure loss of the annular volute are reduced, and the operation safety and the stability of the pump under various working conditions are enhanced.
As shown in fig. 5, in an embodiment, the stationary vane 6 has a downstream/trailing end 61, the downstream/trailing end 61 is tapered or curved, the downstream end 61 has a first groove 62 and a second groove 63, the first grooves 62 are disposed on a radially inner side of the downstream end 61, and the second grooves 63 are disposed on a radially outer side of the downstream end 61; the first groove 62 and the second groove 63 are semi-circular structures. Through the design of the first groove 62 and the second groove 63, the corner vortex at the outlet of the fixed guide vane can be further reduced, and the pressure fluctuation and the pressure loss of the annular volute are reduced, so that the operation safety and the stability of the pump under various working conditions are enhanced.
Further, the number of the first grooves 62 is greater than the number of the second grooves 63, and preferably, the number of the first grooves 62 is 1.5 to 3.0 times the number of the second grooves 63.

In order to reduce the volume of the pump, the diameter of a discharge pipeline and the loss of the pipeline, thereby reducing the lift of the pump, reducing the power of the pump, saving energy, reducing the operation cost, and taking the discharge caliber to be smaller than the suction caliber. The diameter of the outlet of the pump is preliminarily determined and then should be rounded according to the diameter series of the standard pipeline, and the height L of the diffusion pipe/diffusion section should be measured to a small value as much as possible under the condition of ensuring the diffusion angle, processing and bolt connection so as to reduce the size of the pump.
