When the axial-flow pump is running, the blade angle is not fully adjusted or there are errors in the manufacture of the blades, which will lead to inconsistent blade placement angles during operation, and which will reduce the efficiency of the axial-flow pump. This paper uses the research methods of numerical simulation and model experiments to analyze the hydraulic performance and impeller structure characteristics of each flow components under different schemes when the angles of each blade of the S-type front shaft extension tubular pump device are inconsistent. The research phenomenon is that the guide vane greatly recovers the flow velocity circulation at the impeller outlet, reduces the hydraulic loss of guide vane, and widens the best efficiency range with an increase in guide vane blade angle. When the blade angle deviation occurs, the flow field of each blade channel affects each other, and the maximum decrease in the best efficiency is up to 7.78%, mainly due to the increased hydraulic loss in the outlet channel. The blade angle deviation will also affect the maximum equivalent stress and maximum deformation of the impeller, which is more obvious in large flow conditions. Inconsistent blade angles seriously affect the operating efficiency of the water pump and water pump device, and make the structural characteristics of the impeller worse.
