A hemispherical entrainment-type high-flow self-priming centrifugal pump includes a hemispherical entrainment system, a pump body and a pump inlet pipe. The hemispherical entrainment system is disposed above the pump body. The hemispherical entrainment system comprises four layers of entrainment cavities, including a spherical entrainment interior cavity, a primary entrainment cavity, a secondary entrainment cavity and a tertiary entrainment cavity. The spherical entrainment interior cavity is a double circular pipeline that ascends in a spiral overlapping manner to wrap a hemispherical surface, and improves the entrainment capacity, while increasing the entrainment area. The primary entrainment cavity is allowed to be in communication with the secondary entrainment cavity and the tertiary entrainment cavity by upward sliding of a sliding check core. The secondary entrainment cavity entrains the gas in the pump inlet pipe, and the primary entrainment cavity entrains the gas in a pump cavity.
