Description
- The present invention relates to a pump impeller, especially a low-turbulence impeller for a centrifugal fluid pump.
- With reference to
Figs. 8 and9 , a conventional centrifugal pump impeller 1 has afirst base wall 11, asecond base wall 12 spaced apart from thefirst base wall 11,multiple blades 13 mounted between thefirst base wall 11 and thesecond base wall 12, andmultiple runners 14. Thesecond base wall 12 has aninlet 121 formed in a center of thesecond base wall 12. Theblades 13 are curved and are spaced apart from each other. Eachblade 13 has afirst blade surface 131 and asecond blade surface 132. Each one of therunners 14 is formed between afirst blade surface 131 and asecond blade surface 132 of twoadjacent blades 13 for the flowing of fluid. A width of eachblade 13 is constant. A width of eachrunner 14 is gradually increased from an interior to a periphery of the pump impeller 1. - When a motor drives the pump impeller 1 to turn along the direction R by a transmission shaft, the fluid is flowed into the pump impeller through the
inlet 121, and then the fluid is flowed out ofoutlets 140 of therunners 14 by centrifugal forces. Since a width of eachrunner 14 is gradually increased from the interior to the periphery of the pump impeller 1, eachrunner 14 has alaminar zone 141 near thefirst blade surface 131, aturbulent zone 142 near thesecond blade surface 132, and atransition zone 143 located between thelaminar zone 141 and theturbulent zone 142. Thelaminar zone 141, theturbulent zone 142, and thetransition zone 143 of therunner 14 correspond and communicate with theoutlet 140. When the fluid is flowed into eachrunner 14, part of the fluid is flowed out from thelaminar zone 141 along the direction of arrow D, part of the fluid forms multiple reversely-rotating vortexes V in theturbulent zone 142, and then the vortexes V flow out of theoutlet 140. The vortexes V make the fluid flowed out from theoutlet 140 highly turbulent. Thus, the fluid will flow inversely due to negative pressures produced by the vortexes V. Further, cavitation corrosion of the fluid easily occurs and damages theblades 13. When the rotational velocity of the pump impeller 1 is increased, the cavitation corrosion might be more severe. As the conventional pump impeller 1 could not increase the rotational velocity in operating condition, the fluid-draining efficiency of the pump impeller 1 is insufficient. - To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides a low-turbulence impeller for a fluid pump to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
- The main objective of the present invention is to provide a low-turbulence impeller for a fluid pump that can eliminate cavitation corrosion of the fluid to reduce energy consumption and promote fluid-draining efficiency.
- The low-turbulence impeller for a fluid pump comprises a first base wall, a second base wall, multiple guiding blades, multiple back-up plates, and multiple runners.
- The first base wall has a first inner surface and a first periphery. The second base wall is spaced apart from the first base wall. The second base wall has a second inner surface facing the first inner surface, a second periphery, and an inlet. The inlet is formed through the second base wall. The guiding blades are connected to the first inner surface and the second inner surface. The guiding blades are curved and are spaced apart from each other. Each one of the guiding blades has an inner end, an outer end, a first blade surface, and a second blade surface. The multiple back-up plates are respectively mounted on the first periphery of the first base wall and the second periphery of the second base wall. The back-up plates are annularly spaced apart from each other. Each one of the back-up plates is intrgratedly connected to the outer end of a corresponding guiding blade. Each one of the runners is formed between two adjacent guiding blades. Each one of the runners has an outlet. The outlet is formed between two adjacent back-up plates. Each one of the runners has a laminar zone and a turbulent zone. The laminar zone is near the first blade surface of one of the two adjacent guiding blades and communicates with a corresponding outlet. The turbulent zone is near the second blade surface of the other guiding and aligns with the corresponding back-up plate.
- Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Figs. 1 to 3 , the low-turbulence impeller for a fluid pump comprises afirst base wall 2, asecond base wall 3, multiple guidingblades 4, multiple back-up plates 5, andmultiple runners 6. - The
first base wall 2 is circular and has a firstinner surface 21, afirst periphery 22, and acoupling portion 23. Thecoupling portion 23 is connected to a transmission shaft of a motor and is rotated by the motor. Thesecond base wall 3 is spaced apart from and parallel to thefirst base wall 2. Thesecond base wall 3 is circular and has a secondinner surface 31 facing the firstinner surface 21, asecond periphery 32, and aninlet 33. Theinlet 33 is formed through thesecond base wall 2 to allow fluid such as air or liquid to enter. The guidingblades 4 are connected to the firstinner surface 21 and the secondinner surface 31. The guidingblades 4 are curved and are spaced apart from each other. Each one of the guidingblades 4 is arched and has aninner end 41, anouter end 42, afirst blade surface 43, and asecond blade surface 44. Theinner end 41 and theouter end 42 are disposed opposite to each other. Thefirst blade surface 43 is disposed between theinner end 41 and theouter end 42. Thesecond blade surface 44 is disposed opposite to thefirst blade surface 43. - The multiple back-up
plates 5 are mounted between thefirst periphery 22 of thefirst base wall 2 and thesecond periphery 32 of thesecond base wall 3. In the first preferred embodiment, the back-upplates 5 are connected to the firstinner surface 21 of thefirst base wall 2 and the secondinner surface 31 of thesecond base wall 3. The back-upplates 5 are annularly spaced apart from each other. Each one of the back-upplates 5 is integratedly connected to theouter end 42 of acorresponding guiding blade 4 to block the fluid. - Each one of the
runners 6 is formed between twoadjacent guiding blades 4 and two adjacent back-upplates 5 connected to said twoadjacent guiding blades 4. Each one of therunners 6 has anoutlet 60. Theoutlet 60 is formed between said two adjacent back-upplates 5. Each one of therunners 6 has alaminar zone 61, a turbulent zone 62, and atransition zone 63. Thelaminar zone 61 is near thefirst blade surface 43 of one of the twoadjacent guiding blades 4 and communicates with acorresponding outlet 60. The turbulent zone 62 is near thesecond blade surface 44 of theother guiding blade 4 and aligns with the corresponding back-upplate 5. Thetransition zone 63 is located between thelaminar zone 61 and the turbulent zone 62 and aligns with the corresponding back-upplate 5. - Specifically, each back-up
plate 5 has a connectingend 5 land aterminal end 52. The connectingend 51 is connected to theouter end 42 of acorresponding guiding blade 4. Theterminal end 52 is disposed opposite to the connectingend 51 of the back-upplate 5. The connectingend 51 of each back-upplate 5 is integrated with theouter end 42 of thecorresponding guiding blade 4 to prevent the fluid from flowing out between the back-upplate 5 and theguiding blade 4. - In addition, each back-up
plate 5 has a blockingsurface 53 formed between the connectingend 51 and theterminal end 52. The blockingsurface 53 is used to block the flowing fluid. The blockingsurface 53 of each back-upplate 5 and thesecond blade surface 44 of acorresponding guiding blade 4 are connected to each other and have an included angle A. The included angle A is an obtuse angle and is adjustable based on an actual design requirement. - When the motor drives the low-turbulence impeller for a fluid pump to rotate along a direction R by the transmission shaft, the fluid is flowed into the low-turbulence impeller through the
inlet 33, and then the fluid is flowed into each one of therunners 6 by centrifugal forces. Part of the fluid is flowed out of thelaminar zone 61 along a direction of arrow D through theoutlet 60, and part of the fluid in the turbulent zone 62 andtransition zone 63 is blocked by the blocking surfaces 53 of the back-upplates 5. So multiple counterclockwise vortexes V formed by the fluid in the turbulent zone 62 are blocked by the blockingsurface 53 and do not flow out of the low-turbulence impeller, and the flowing fluid through theoutlet 60 of eachrunner 6 is in low-turbulence condition. The phenomenon of inverse flow caused by negative pressures and cavitation corrosion caused by turbulent flow is reduced to prevent theguiding blades 4 from damage. Further, the rotational velocity of the low-turbulence impeller for a fluid pump is enhanced to promote the fluid-draining efficiency. - In the first preferred embodiment, a length of each back-up

The area of theoutlet 60 is calculated by an area of theinlet 33, a flowing velocity of the fluid flowing out theinlet 33, and a flowing velocity of the fluid flowing out of theoutlet 60. A reduction ratio of theoutlet 60 is determined by the flowing velocity of the fluid flowing out theinlet 33 divided by the flowing velocity of the fluid flowing out of theoutlet 60. With reference toFigs. 4 and5 , a second preferred embodiment of a low-turbulence impeller for a fluid pump in accordance with the present invention is shown. The structure and operation of the second preferred embodiment are approximately the same as the first preferred embodiment. The low-turbulence impeller for a fluid pump has aring member 50B. - The
ring member 50B is securely mounted around thefirst periphery 22 of thefirst base wall 2 and thesecond periphery 32 of thesecond base wall 3. The ring member 50 is mounted securely on thefirst base wall 2 and thesecond base wall 3 by soldering or screwing. Thering member 50B has tworings 54B and multiple back-upplates 55B.

- Every preferred embodiment of the low-turbulence impeller for a fluid pump has multiple back-up
plates runners 6. So the fluid can only be flowed out of theoutlets 60 from thelaminar zone 61. Thereby, the fluid through eachoutlet 60 is in low-turbulence condition.
