The invention discloses a cooling water pump for an
internal combustion engine. The cooling water pump comprises a water pump shell, a rotary shaft, a cover plate and an
impeller. A cavity is formed in the water pump shell, the rotary shaft is mounted in the middle of the cavity through a bearing, and the
impeller can be mounted on the rotary shaft in the manner of rotating around the axis of itself. The cover plate is fixedly connected with the side, provided with the cavity, of the water pump shell. The water pump shell is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet, a separation tongue is machined in the position, close to the water outlet, in the cavity, a
volute chamber passageway is machined between the separation tongue and the water outlet, and the
volute chamber passageway is in an arc shape. The
impeller comprises a hub, a wheel disc and blades. The hub is fixedly connected with the center of the wheel disc, the blades are in arc sheet shapes, and the at least two blades are evenly arranged on the wheel disc around the hub in a spaced manner. At least two openings are formed in the wheel disc, and the openings are formed between the blades. According to the cooling water pump for the
internal combustion engine, the openings are formed in the wheel disc, the size and
mass of the impeller are reduced, the
available volume in the cavity is increased, and under the condition of not changing the boundary dimension of the water pump and a connector, the flow of the water pump is increased, and
energy consumption is reduced.
