Definitions
- the invention relates to a centrifugal pump of the axial type for conveying liquids containing fibrous constituents, a plurality of guide vanes being arranged in the direction of flow behind the impeller, the guide vanes extending between the outer and inner housings, and drive elements for the impeller being arranged within the inner housing.
- Such a centrifugal pump is known for example from EPA 0 475 920.
- This is limited to a motor pump unit, i. H. the guide vanes serve here at the same time for holding a motor housing; in principle, however, the type corresponds to the generally known type of axial pump with a housing part arranged downstream of the impeller and having guide vanes.
- the leading edges of the guide vanes are inclined to the rear in the flow direction. This is to avoid that the admixtures in the water during wastewater production get caught as far away from the impeller on the guide vanes.
- the invention is therefore based on the problem of developing a solution for generic centrifugal pumps with the aid of which trouble-free operation in the conveyance of media containing fibrous components is ensured. This object is achieved in accordance with the characterizing part of the main claim.
- the wipers or cutting devices rotating with the impeller hub and in connection with the leading edges of the guide blades inclined against the direction of flow ensure that entrained admixtures of the conveying medium are transported to the hub at the guide blade edges.
- the guide vane edges are designed in such a way that fiber parts striking them either slide off or slide along them in the direction of the inner housing. In its area they are then removed from the scraper and / or the cutting device and can easily flow through the stator. This ensures for every operating state that the idler wheel remains free of accumulations influencing the performance data.
- claims 2 and 3 describe the inclination of the leading edges in guide vanes which do not run in a purely radial direction. Their inclination improves the hydraulic efficiency of the pump.
- the guide vanes are sometimes only attached to the outer housing.
- fibers sliding along the leading edge of the guide vane between the inner housing and the end of the guide vane from the guide vane slip off.
- the only one-sided mounting of the guide vane on the outer casing ensures that any fibers sticking to it slide off safely.
- the centrifugal pump shown in FIG. 1 has an outer housing 1, within which an inner housing 2 is held by means of guide vanes 3.
- the inner housing 2 accommodates drive elements, not shown, by which the impeller 4 is driven.
- the drive elements can be a shaft with bearings, a drive motor driving the impeller, or similar drive elements.
- a stripping or cutting device 5 is attached behind the impeller 4. This can be arranged directly on the hub of the impeller or can be part of a component connected to the hub and driven by it.
- the scraper and / or the cutting device 5 is arranged in the hub area which lies opposite the inner housing 2. Furthermore, the leading edges 6 of the guide vanes 3 also begin in this area.
- a plurality of cams are attached to the flow-side end of the hub 7, with which cams are located on the leading edge 6 in the region of the inner housing 2 accumulating fiber parts are removable.
- a stripping or cutting device or a combination of both can be used.
- FIG. 2 shows a view according to arrow X of FIG. 1.
- fibers 8 are guided into the guide wheel channels 9 by the cutting or stripping device that passes by and washed away.
- the dashed arrow corresponds to the direction of rotation of the impeller, not shown here.
- the guide vanes 3 are here - starting from the point of attachment on the inner housing 2 - inclined in the circumferential direction against the direction of rotation of the impeller.
- the conveying medium emerging from the impeller 2 thus supports the sliding of the fibers along the leading edges towards the cutting or stripping device.
- this solution also works with stator blades that extend in the radial direction between the outer and inner housing.
- FIG. 3 Another embodiment is shown in FIG. 3.
- a total of six guide vanes 3.1, 3.2 are used here, only every second guide vane 3.2 connecting the inner housing 2 to the outer housing 1.
- the other guide vanes 3.1 are only attached to the outer housing 1. Fibers sliding along it can then slide in the gap 10 between the inner housing 2 and guide vanes 3.1 from the guide vanes and flow away with the flow.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kreiselpumpe axialer Bauart zur Förderung von faserige Bestandteile enthaltende Flüssigkeiten, wobei in Strömungsrichtung hinter dem Laufrad eine Mehrzahl von Leitschaufeln angeordnet sind, die Leitschaufeln sich zwischen Außen- und Innengehäuse erstrecken und innerhalb des Innengehäuses Antriebselemente für das Laufrad angeordnet sind.The invention relates to a centrifugal pump of the axial type for conveying liquids containing fibrous constituents, a plurality of guide vanes being arranged in the direction of flow behind the impeller, the guide vanes extending between the outer and inner housings, and drive elements for the impeller being arranged within the inner housing.
Eine derartige Kreiselpumpe ist beispielsweise aus der EPA 0 475 920 bekannt. Diese beschränkt sich zwar auf ein Motorpumpenaggregat, d. h. die Leitschaufeln dienen hier gleichzeitig zur Halterung eines Motorgehäuses; im Prinzip entspricht die Bauart jedoch der allgemein bekannten Axialpumpenbauart mit einem dem Laufrad nachgeordneten, Leitschaufeln aufweisenden Gehäuseteil. Um Verstopfungen durch faserige Bestandteile zu vermeiden, sind die Anströmkanten der Leitschaufeln in Strömungsrichtung gesehen nach hinten geneigt. Damit soll vermieden werden, daß die bei der Abwasserförderung im Wasser befindlichen Beimengungen sich möglichst weit entfernt vom Laufrad an den Leitschaufeln verfangen.Such a centrifugal pump is known for example from EPA 0 475 920. This is limited to a motor pump unit, i. H. the guide vanes serve here at the same time for holding a motor housing; in principle, however, the type corresponds to the generally known type of axial pump with a housing part arranged downstream of the impeller and having guide vanes. In order to avoid blockages due to fibrous components, the leading edges of the guide vanes are inclined to the rear in the flow direction. This is to avoid that the admixtures in the water during wastewater production get caught as far away from the impeller on the guide vanes.
Dieses Prinzip der rückwärts gekrümmten Leitschaufeln bei axial durchströmten Maschinen ist bereits seit langem durch die DE-PS 459 798 bekannt. Hierbei sind ebenfalls die Befestigungspunkte der Leitschaufeln am Außengehäuse sehr weit hinter das Laufrad verlegt, um somit eine Ansammlung von Feststoffen zu verhindern bzw. möglichst weit entfernt vom Laufrad stattfinden zu lassen. Beide Gestaltungen vermögen aber immer noch nicht das Problem zu lösen, daß trotzdem Anhäufungen von faserigen Bestandteilen innerhalb des Leitrades am Übergang zwischen Leitschaufel und Gehäuse stattfinden und damit die Leistung der Pumpe negativ beeinflußt wird.This principle of the backward curved guide vanes in machines with axial flow has long been known from DE-PS 459 798. Here, too, the attachment points of the guide vanes on the outer housing are laid very far behind the impeller in order to prevent the accumulation of solids or to allow them to take place as far away from the impeller as possible. Both designs are capable but still not to solve the problem that nevertheless accumulations of fibrous constituents take place within the stator at the transition between the guide vane and the housing and thus the performance of the pump is adversely affected.
Der Erfindung liegt daher das Problem zugrunde, für gattungsgemäße Kreiselpumpen eine Lösung zu entwickeln, mit deren Hilfe ein problemloser Betrieb bei der Förderung von faserige Bestandteile enthaltenden Medien gewährleistet wird. Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt gemäß dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Hauptanspruches.The invention is therefore based on the problem of developing a solution for generic centrifugal pumps with the aid of which trouble-free operation in the conveyance of media containing fibrous components is ensured. This object is achieved in accordance with the characterizing part of the main claim.
Durch die mit der Laufradnabe rotierenden Abstreifer oder Schneideinrichtungen sowie in Verbindung mit den gegen die Strömungsrichtung geneigten Anströmkanten der Leitschaufeln wird sichergestellt, daß an den Leitschaufelkanten sich verfangende Beimengungen des Fördermediums zur Nabe hin transportiert werden. Die Leitschaufelkanten sind so ausgebildet, daß daran auftreffende Faserteile entweder abgleiten oder daran entlang in Richtung Innengehäuse gleiten. In dessen Bereich werden sie dann vom Abstreifer und/oder der Schneideinrichtung entfernt und können problemlos durch das Leitrad abfließen. Somit wird für jeden Betriebszustand gewährleistet, daß das Leitrad frei von die Leistungsdaten beeinflussenden Ansammlungen bleibt.The wipers or cutting devices rotating with the impeller hub and in connection with the leading edges of the guide blades inclined against the direction of flow ensure that entrained admixtures of the conveying medium are transported to the hub at the guide blade edges. The guide vane edges are designed in such a way that fiber parts striking them either slide off or slide along them in the direction of the inner housing. In its area they are then removed from the scraper and / or the cutting device and can easily flow through the stator. This ensures for every operating state that the idler wheel remains free of accumulations influencing the performance data.
Die Ausgestaltungen der Ansprüche 2 und 3 beschreiben die Neigung der Anströmkanten bei Leitschaufeln, die nicht in rein radialer Richtung verlaufen. Deren Neigung verbessert den hydraulischen Wirkungsgrad der Pumpe.The embodiments of
Nach einer anderen Ausgestaltung sind die Leitschaufeln teilweise nur am Außengehäuse befestigt. Somit können an der Anströmkante der Leitschaufel entlanggleitende Fasern zwischen Innengehäuse und Leitschaufelende von der Leitschaufel abrutschen. Durch die nur einseitige Leitschaufelbefestigung am Außengehäuse ist ein sicheres Abrutschen eventuell daran anhaftender Fasern gewährleistet.According to another embodiment, the guide vanes are sometimes only attached to the outer housing. Thus, fibers sliding along the leading edge of the guide vane between the inner housing and the end of the guide vane from the guide vane slip off. The only one-sided mounting of the guide vane on the outer casing ensures that any fibers sticking to it slide off safely.

Die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Kreiselpumpe axialer Bauart verfügt über ein Außengehäuse 1, innerhalb dessen ein Innengehäuse 2 mittels Leitschaufeln 3 gehalten ist. Das Innengehäuse 2 nimmt hier nicht weiter dargestellte Antriebselemente auf, von denen das Laufrad 4 angetrieben wird. Bei den Antriebselementen kann es sich um eine Welle mit Lagerungen, ein das Laufrad antreibender Antriebsmotor oder ähnliche Antriebselemente handeln.The centrifugal pump shown in FIG. 1 has an
In Strömungsrichtung gesehen hinter dem Laufrad 4 ist eine Abstreif- oder eine Schneideinrichtung 5 angebracht. Diese kann direkt auf der Nabe des Laufrades angeordnet sein oder Bestandteil eines mit der Nabe in Verbindung stehenden sowie davon angetriebenen Bauteiles sein.Viewed in the direction of flow, a stripping or
Die Abstreif- und/oder die Schneideinrichtung 5 ist in demjenigen Nabenbereich angeordnet, der dem Innengehäuse 2 gegenüberliegt. Des weiteren beginnen in diesem Bereich auch die Anströmkanten 6 der Leitschaufeln 3. Bei der hier Anwendung findenden Abstreifeinrichtung sind am strömungsseitigen Ende der Nabe 7 mehrere Nocken angebracht, mit denen an der Anströmkante 6 im Bereich des Innengehäuses 2 sich ansammelnde Faserteile entfernbar sind. In Abhängigkeit von dem Fördermedium kann eine Abstreif-, Schneideinrichtung oder eine Kombination von beiden Verwendung finden.The scraper and / or the
Die Fig. 2 zeigt eine Ansicht gemäß Pfeil X von Fig. 1. Im Bereich des Innengehäuses 2 an den Anströmkanten der Leitschaufeln 3 angesammelte Fasern 8 werden durch die daran vorbeistreichende Schneid- oder Abstreifeinrichtung in die Leitradkanäle 9 geleitet und weggespült. Der gestrichelte Pfeil entspricht der Drehrichtung des hier nicht dargestellten Laufrades. Die Leitschaufeln 3 sind hierbei - ausgehend vom Befestigungspunkt am Innengehäuse 2 - in Umfangsrichtung gegen die Drehrichtung des Laufrades geneigt. Somit unterstützt das aus dem Laufrad 2 austretende Fördermedium das Entlanggleiten der Fasern an den Anströmkanten zur Schneid- oder Abstreifeinrichtung hin. Selbstverständlich funktioniert diese Lösung auch bei Leitradschaufeln, die sich in radialer Richtung zwischen Außen- und Innengehäuse erstrecken.FIG. 2 shows a view according to arrow X of FIG. 1. In the area of the
Eine andere Ausführungsform ist in der Fig. 3 gezeigt. Hierbei finden insgesamt sechs Leitschaufeln 3.1, 3.2 Anwendung, wobei nur jede zweite Leitschaufel 3.2 das Innengehäuse 2 mit dem Außengehäuse 1 verbindet. Die anderen Leitschaufeln 3.1 sind nur am Außengehäuse 1 befestigt. Daran entlanggleitende Fasern können dann im Spalt 10 zwischen Innengehäuse 2 und Leitschaufeln 3.1 von den Leitschaufeln abgleiten und mit der Strömung abfließen.Another embodiment is shown in FIG. 3. A total of six guide vanes 3.1, 3.2 are used here, only every second guide vane 3.2 connecting the
