My invention relates to centrifugal pump strucpartment and connected at one end to the interior ture. It has to do, more particularly, withcenof the impeller chamber substantially along the triiugm pumps which are designed to be -used in axis thereoi' and connected at its other end to the the removal of water from an excavation, alsuction line which may be disposed in the excavathough it is not necessarily limited thereto. tion from which the liquid-is to be pumped. 5

In its preferred form, my centrifugal pump By reference to the drawing, it will be, seen structure is provided with a discharge opening that the impeller chamber, which I utilize and for delivering the fluid from the volute impeller which isdesignated 8, is eccentrically disposed casing into the priming fluid compartment at within the casing I. It is of volute form and its 50 the base thereof, and it is also provided with a outer wall is formed by the side wall of the cas-- discharge opening from the priming fluid coming i.

disposed within the casing. I. It is further provided with a jet opening 8 in its inner side wall for the discharge of liquid therethrough.- Both the discharge 'outlet 1 andthejet opening 8, being disposed at the base of the priming liquid compartment, will normally operate to undercutand-stir .up any mud or silt'or debris that has settled in the priming liquidcompartment or that Disposed within the volute impeller chamber is a circular impeller 3 having a plurality of widely spaced blades ID. This impeller is adapted to be rotated within the impeller chamber through the medium of a shaft II by means of a motor I! which may be of any desired type.

The peripheral wall of the impeller chamber is continued, in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the impeller, past the dis' charge outlet 1 to form'a blade-6 which extends inwardly a considerable distance from the discharge outlet. This blade-6' is provided for a purpose which will be hereinafter fully explained.

The blade 5 is so disposed that the outer ends of the blades of the impeller will just barely pass such blade without interference therewith. It is impfirtant, as will be later understood, 'for the outer ends of the impeller blades to pass very close to the inner surface of the outer extremity of the blade 6' when the impeller rotates. Therefore, the outer end or the blade 6' is provided with a raised flat portion 6a. This fiat portion'is first made fairly high and is machined down to such an extent that it. will lie very close to the outer ends 01 the impeller blades when they move past it. The outer surface of theouter end of each ,of'the impeller blades illis substantially flat so that it will cooperate with the flatraised portion 6a of the blade 6' and will pass very closeto' such portion. In case a smaller impeller were used, the blade 6' would-be disposed closer to wards the center of the impeller chamberin order that itwould lie close 01 the impeller.

The priming liquidcompartment maybe gen.-

erally designated IS. A portion of it is disposed above the impeller chamber and a portion ofit is disposed along one side thereof, as at ll. It

is at all times in communication with the-discharge pipe through thedischarge'outlet 5 of the casing. When the pump is fully eifective, most oi the water passes from the discharge outlet l 01' I blaclrarrows of Figure 3. A portion of the" water,

the impeller chamber upwardly along the wall I5 the priming fluid compartment and thence, out

through the outlet 5, as illustrated by the heavy however, passes" by the outlet in the direction indicated by the light arrows and-is circulated 'within'the priming liquid compartment to prevent settling of the mud and slit-and assist in preventing clogging'of the pump.

While this circulation is desirable, it-should not be tooviolent. Otherwise, the violently circul'ated watermay tend to entrain air and gas during-the priming period and, by conducting it into the priming'fluid passageway, defeat or tend to defeat the priming action; q Too violent a circulation or the liquid within the priming liquid compartment is prevented by .th'e torm'and location of the suction chamber l8 which, in addition to its-other functions, serves as an obstruction or baiile across that portion of the priming liquid compartment which is disposted at. oneside'of the-impeller chamber and to the outer portion.

which, therefore, slows up the circulation of the water in the priming liquid compartment.

' This suction chamber l6 communicates at its upper end with the intake port 2 and is provided adjacent its base with an outlet H which is of circular form and leads substantially axially into the-impeller chamber. As illustrated in Figure 3,

the suction chamber is substantially of rectangular form and is provided in its base with a priming liquid passageway lLthrough which priming liquid may pass from the priming liquid compartment into the suction chamber and thence into the impeller chamber.

Under certain conditions, i may so construct my pump that'the suction chamber l5 isextended to a higher level. Thus, the height of this suction chamber may be made 'sufilciently reat to enable me to dispense/with the provi- 'sion of a check valve in the suction line and, at the same time, insure that the liquid irom' the priming liquid compartment will never be siphoned out of the suction chamber and into the suction line.

The priming liquid passageway l8 may be formed within a sleeve 19 projecting through the base ofthe suction chamber and it preferably leads 1 into an elbow pipe 20 which directs thepriming liquid towards the opening I! and into the impeller chamber, therebyguiding it away from the intake port 2.

'Themeans for controlling the priming fluid passageway i8 takes the form of a plate 2! which is hingedly-secured to the base of the suction chamber by means of a, rubber hinge 22. When this, plate is in lowered position, as shown in full lines in F'lgure 3, the passageway I8 is open to permit free flow of the primingliquid 'from the priming liquid compartment into and through the elbow pipe 2|] and thence to the suction chamher and'interior of the impeller casing. When this plate is in raised'position, as shown in dotted lines in Figure 3, it covers the. passageway i8 and substantially stops the flow of priming liquid therethrough, although a relatively smallaperture 23 through the plate 2laligns with the passageway I! so that the hydrostatic force of the'water which holds the'valveclosed .is neutralized somewhatto facilitate automatic opening of the, valve when pump operating conditions- -necess itate priming.

As shown in Figure 2, the plate 2i is provided with a laterally projecting toe 24 which projects partially acrossthe discharge outlet 1 of the impellerchamber when theplate 2| is in lowered position but which is substantially ,out of the path -of direct flow of the water from the outlet 1 of the impeller chamber to the outlet 5 of 'the casing when the plate is in position to substantially close this priming water passageway l8.

The'platej 2| is further provided adjacentits end'with a weight 2-5 which is preselected with relation to the velocity head considered desirable as a condition precedent to the discontinuance of the priming action. 'This weight serves the duaiiunction oi predeterminin'g this'velocity head at which priming shall cease and insuring the automatic opening of the valve when prim-- ing is necessary.

- -In the operation of this plate valve, "starting with the plate in the fullline position shown in Figure 3, the starting of rotation ofthe impeller it will draw priming liquid through the passage way l8 and thence into the impellenchamber' and through the. discharge outlet 1 of the im-- peller chamber back into the priming liquid compartment and-again through the passageway II. This circulation of the priming liquid will continue and the plate valve will remain immovable in open position as long as there is an undesirable proportion of air mixed with the chamber, the closing movement of the valve fl is initiated by the pressure of the liquid against the toe 24* of the valve plate. This results in a rapid upward swinging of this plate to a posiliquid in the priming liquid compartment and the suction eflected through the passageway ll become effective to complete the closing of the valve and the substantial discontinuance of sup-l ply of the priming liquid through such passageway to the impeller. Whenever the p mp is stopped or whenever the velocity head of theliquid fiowingtherethroughdrops below the predetermined minimum, the plate 2l will swing downwardly to completely uncover the passageway l8, so that the priming liquid will .be free v to pass ,theretlirough for priming.

When the plate ii is in closed position, it will be noted that the hydrostatic force of the water in the priming compartment will be exerted over the entire lower surface of the plate. This force will also be exerted over the entire upper lower surface of this plate with the exception of the very small area directly below the passageway i8. Thus, when the plate 2i is in closed position, as indicated by the dotted lines in Figure 3, it will be substantially hydrostatically balanced but will be slightly out of balance due to the fact that the hydrostatic pressure does not act on the'small area of the upper surface of the plate which is directly below passageway i8. Thus, there is a slight hydrostatic unbalance which tends to keep the plate 2| in closed position. This force is aided by the suction force which also tends to keep the platein position.

However, the weight 25 is suflicient to overcome this slight unbalanced condition just as soon as vacuum is broken and the velocity head of the water discharged from the impeller chamber drops below a predetermined degree.

when the priming stage is completed, the continued operation of the. pump results in drawing the liquid from the excavation through the suction line 4 and inlet 2 past the check valve into the suction chamber It. tion chamber, it passes through the opening ll into the impeller chamber and is discharged therefrom mainly through the discharge orifice 1. The major portion of the water so discharged passes directly to and through the'discharge outlet 5, as indicated by the heavy black arrows, and thence, through provided discharge pipes to any selected point. A portion of the liquid discharged from the discharge orifice I, 'of the impeller casing passes on beyond the outlet ,5 as indicatedby the'light black arrows and circulates over and around the impeller chamber to assist in preventing settling of mud and silt or other debris within the priming liquid compartment. The location of the discharge orifice I of the impeller chamber atthe base of the priming liquid compartment causes the liquid discharged from such orifice to undercut and stir From this sucup any mud, silt or other debris that may have settled ortendedtosettleinthebaseofsuch action will be more efiiciently and quickly carrie'd -out. When the impeller rotates-it throws water outwardly therefrom, due to centrifugal force, and this water will tend to drag air along 1 therewith which will accumulate in and around the impeller. tion at which the. hydrostatic pressure of the If it were not for the blade 8' this air would be carried around with the impeller again and would thereby cut down theefiiciency However-,beoause of the blade 0', the air being carried around by the impeller will be stripped therefrom by the blade 6' and will be caused to pass with the water out'through the discharge outlet 1 of the impeller. chamber. Since the outer ends of the'blades of the impeller be very close to the raised portion 6a of the blade 6' when they pass it, there will be very little air that will pass this point and will be carried back into the impeller chamber. Thus, the priming operation can be much more quickly and effectively carried out. 7

It will be seen from this that I have provided a centrifugal pump structure embodying a pump per se and a self-priming apparatus'of extremely simple construction which can he obviously manufactured for a minimum of cost. It will alsobe apparent that the self-priming apparatus of my invention will permit of a continuous and uninterrupted feed of priming liquid to the pump impeller until the predetermined proper velocity head of liquid is passing through the pump, at

which time, the supply of priming fluid to the chamber is guided by the elbow Ill away from the check valve 3 anddirectly into the impeller chamber, so that danger of the priming liquid passing accidentally back into the suctionline is precluded.- Moreover, the spray of liquid thus directed towards the opening into the impeller chamber entrains air and assists in exhausting the air from the suction chamber and the suction line. a

Itwill be noted also that my apparatus permits of the maintenance of a maximum volume of priming liquid ready for supply to the pump by the use of a priming liquid compartment of such form that it will occupy a minimum space with a consequent reduction of the bulk of the structure see whole. Furthermore, the manner in which I have utilized the liquid being discharged from amount of liquid which must be maintained in the priming liquid compartment to effect priming. In 'the second place, it obviates danger of air being sucked into the suction chamber by a vortex of'water such as tendsto occur with a priming liquid passageway disposed in the upper portion of a suction chamber.
