Research Of Integrated Module Of Centrifugal Slurry Pump's Design And Modeling

With the continual developing and consummating of computer-aided design technology and computer integrated manufacturing system, so much application software for various fields appeared. Some of the computer software worked independently, others were loaded in graphical supporting environment and worked to fulfill special needs as applying programs.Pump industry is age-old but is constantly running towards further applications. Some designers used existed excellent hydraulic models to assist design; others searched optimized design method and recurred to computer to accomplish realizing process of complex algorithm.In these two years, the levels of computer graphics and computer hardware have been further enhanced; much 3D-design software with high specialty has come forth. Real 3D-design has been reached. But in pump industry the relation between flowing status and performance of the pump is still not so clear. What's more, given that the distribution of velocity around pump vane, the shape of vane we get accordingly still can not fulfill the needs of intensity and techniques. So the 3D-design idea has not been applied entirely in pump industry.3D solid model is the deciding factor of the whole CIMS. In that case, achieving 3D solid model of pump is necessary in the process of consummating pump's computer aided design and analyzing technology.Being the unique part of pump industry, slurry pump has been studied by so many scholars and designers as a hotspot. New theories and design methods appeared constantly. Under the circumstances, some measure was required awfully to lighten the difficulty of the entire designing process and was used to describe and evaluate the designing results in some sense. If the two-dimensional results could be embodied by 3D model and two-dimensional designing process was integrated with 3D modeling process organically, unattached CAD module would be achieved. That module made data transferring in CIMS of pump convenient simultaneously.An attempt was made in this paper. MDT (Mechanical Desktop) platform was used as development base; as well as object-oriented programming method was applied completely in developing process. Designing and modeling module was accomplished finally. The result proved that the research techniques were feasible and advanced, it also supported the further development of pump CIMS convincingly.
