[0002] Chemical axial-flow pumps are widely used in industries such as salt production, alkali treatment, and waste liquid recovery. They transport highly corrosive media containing solid particles, making them a crucial piece of equipment in crystallization and evaporation processes. As the core component of chemical axial-flow pumps, the impeller rotates with the shaft to transport the medium. During operation, it is subject to impact from the medium and axial forces caused by fluid pressure differentials. Furthermore, when the pump is stopped, water hammer can cause the impeller to briefly reverse direction. To ensure proper operation, a locking device must be designed into the impeller shaft to prevent it from loosening.

[0019] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a chemical axial flow pump impeller locking device, including a guide sleeve 1, an anti-loosening gasket 5, a locking nut 6, an impeller 7 and an impeller shaft 8, wherein the locking nut 6 and one end of the impeller shaft 8 are threadedly connected to the internal shaft hole of the impeller 7 and fix the impeller 7 on the impeller shaft 8, the outer side of the locking nut 6 is a polygonal structure, and the anti-loosening gasket 5 is provided with a polygonal hole corresponding to the shape of the outer side of the locking nut 6, the locking nut 6 is located in the polygonal hole of the anti-loosening gasket 5, and the guide sleeve 1 is fixed on the side of the locking nut 6 away from the impeller shaft 8 and fixes the anti-loosening gasket 5 on the impeller 7.
[0020] In the above embodiment, the impeller 7 is fixed to the impeller shaft 8 by threading the locking nut 6 with one end of the impeller shaft 8. At the same time, the locking nut 6 is fixed to the impeller 7 based on the combination of the guide sleeve 1 and the anti-loosening washer 5. When the axial flow pump is stopped, the locking nut 6 cannot rotate in either the forward or reverse direction, thereby achieving the locking of the axial flow pump impeller. Therefore, the present application effectively reduces the requirements for the thread rotation direction of the locking nut 6, and has the characteristics of simple structure and reliable performance.
[0021] In some embodiments, both side end surfaces of the anti-loosening gasket 5 are provided with O-shaped grooves, and each O-shaped groove is provided with an O-ring 4.
[0022] In the above embodiment, by providing O-shaped grooves and O-rings 4 on both sides of the anti-loosening gasket 5, it can not only play a sealing role, but also reduce the friction and wear of the end faces on both sides of the anti-loosening gasket 5, thereby extending the service life of the component to a certain extent.
[0023] In some embodiments, multiple screws 2 are further included, and the guide sleeve 1 is provided with a first threaded hole (not shown in the figure) in a ring shape corresponding to the screw 2, the impeller 7 is provided with a second threaded hole (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the first threaded hole, and the anti-loosening gasket 5 is provided with a third threaded hole (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the first threaded hole. The anti-loosening gasket 5 is fixed to the impeller 7 by screws 2 passing through the first threaded hole, the third threaded hole and the second threaded hole in sequence.
[0024] In the above embodiment, the screw 2 is used to pass through the guide sleeve 1 and the anti-loosening gasket 5 in sequence and be threadedly connected to the second threaded hole on the impeller 7, so that the anti-loosening gasket 5 can be connected between the guide sleeve 1 and the impeller 7 and fixed on the impeller 7. Since the anti-loosening gasket 5 is provided with a polygonal hole that matches the polygonal structure on the outer side of the locking nut 6, the anti-loosening gasket 5 can limit the rotational direction of the locking nut 6. That is, when the axial flow pump is stopped, the rotational direction of the locking nut 6 is limited by the anti-loosening gasket 5, so that the locking nut 6 can neither rotate forward nor rotate reverse, thereby realizing the locking of the axial flow pump impeller.
[0025] In some embodiments, multiple screws 2 are further included, and the guide sleeve 1 is provided with a first threaded hole in an annular shape corresponding to the screw 2 one by one, the impeller 7 is provided with a second threaded hole corresponding to the first threaded hole one by one, and the anti-loosening gasket 5 is provided with an annular groove 51 corresponding to the first threaded hole. The anti-loosening gasket 5 is fixed to the impeller 7 by the screw 2 passing through the first threaded hole, the annular groove 51 and the second threaded hole in sequence.
[0026] In the above embodiment, the screw 2 is sequentially passed through the guide sleeve 1 and the anti-loosening washer 5 and threadedly connected to the second threaded hole on the impeller 7, so that the anti-loosening washer 5 can be connected between the guide sleeve 1 and the impeller 7 and fixed to the impeller 7. In the above embodiment, two annular grooves 51 are symmetrically provided on the anti-loosening washer 5, and the position of the annular grooves 51 should match the position of the first threaded hole to allow the screw 2 to pass through. Since the anti-loosening washer 5 is provided with a polygonal hole that matches the polygonal structure on the outer side of the locking nut 6, the anti-loosening washer 5 can limit the rotational direction of the locking nut 6. That is, when the axial flow pump is stopped, the anti-loosening washer 5 limits the rotational direction of the locking nut 6, so that the locking nut 6 cannot rotate in either the forward or reverse direction, thereby achieving the locking of the axial flow pump impeller.
[0027] In some embodiments, the plurality of screws 2 are distributed in a circular array.
[0028] In the above embodiment, the plurality of screws 2 are arranged in a circular array, which can ensure that the guide sleeve 1 and the impeller 7 are subjected to uniform force in the circumferential direction, and provide a guarantee for the rotational limitation of the locking nut 6 by the anti-loosening washer 5.
[0029] In some embodiments, a spring washer 3 corresponding to each screw 2 is further included, and the spring washer 3 is disposed in the first threaded hole.
[0030] In the above embodiment, the spring washer 3 provided in the first threaded hole can reduce the wear between the screw 2 and the guide sleeve 1 .
[0031] In some embodiments, the outer side of the locking nut 6 is a regular hexagonal structure, and the anti-loosening washer 5 is provided with a regular hexagonal hole that matches the outer side of the locking nut 6 .
[0032] In the above embodiment, the outer side of the locking nut 6 is configured as a regular hexagonal structure. In other embodiments, the outer side of the locking nut 6 can also be configured as an equilateral triangle structure, a square structure, a regular pentagon structure, a regular heptagon structure, etc., and the regular polygonal hole provided on the locking washer 5 can be an equilateral triangle hole, a square hole, a regular pentagon hole, a regular heptagon hole, etc.
