[0065] Embodiment One

[0066] Please refer to Figures 1-2 In this embodiment, a submersible pump is provided, comprising: a pump body 1, a control panel 2, a sensing assembly 3 and a controller 11.

[0067] The inner cavity of the pump body 1 is provided with an upper chamber and a lower chamber from top to bottom, and a partition is arranged between the upper chamber and the lower chamber.

[0068] The control panel 2 is arranged on the side of the pump body 1, and the control panel 2 is electrically connected with at least two sensing assemblies 3, and the sensing assemblies 3 are arranged on the control panel 2 at different heights.

[0069] The sensing assembly 3 comprises a liquid level sensor 32, an indicator light 33 and a switch 31; the switch 31 is a push switch 31 arranged on the control panel 2 and electrically connected with the liquid level sensor 32, and the switch 31 is used to start and stop the liquid level sensor 32; the indicator light 33 is used to display the start and stop state of the liquid level sensor, and at least includes the working states of constant light and flashing.

[0070] The liquid level sensor 32 adopts a non-contact liquid level sensor 32, which can detect the change of liquid height and output a signal to the controller 11.

[0071] The top end of the upper chamber of the pump body 1 is provided with the controller 11, and the controller 11 is electrically connected with the liquid level sensor 32, and the controller 11 internally comprises a signal processing module, a control module and a timing module; the timing module is electrically connected with the signal processing module, the control module is also electrically connected with the signal processing module, and the signal processing module is electrically connected with the liquid level sensor 32.

[0072] The controller 11 can also be installed inside the control panel 2, and the controller 11 is directly electrically connected with the liquid level sensor 32.

[0073] The timing module is used for countdown, and the countdown is set so that when the liquid surface drops below the second liquid level sensor 322, the submersible pump continues to work for a period of time.

[0074] The signal processing module is used for receiving and outputting signals; and the control module is used for controlling the rotation or stop of the motor 4, so as to control the start or stop of the submersible pump.

[0075] The upper chamber of the pump body 1 is also provided with a motor 4, and the motor 4 is installed below the controller 11, and the motor 4 is electrically connected with the controller 11.

[0076] The liquid level sensor 32 is turned on by pressing the switch 31, and the corresponding indicator light 33 is turned on. When the liquid level sensor 32 in the sensing assembly 3 senses a change in the liquid level, a corresponding change signal is generated. The change signal is transmitted to the signal processing module of the controller 11. The signal processing module receives the signal and outputs the signal to the control module or the timing module, thereby realizing automatic sensing and control of the submersible pump.

[0077] Embodiment Two

[0078] Please refer to Figures 1-2 On the basis of the embodiment one of the present application, another embodiment is provided.

[0079] The bottom end of the motor 4 extends a motor shaft 5, which extends through the partition of the inner cavity of the pump body 1 to the lower chamber. Preferably, the motor shaft 5 is made of a metal material that is resistant to corrosion and torsion. The bottom end of the motor shaft 5 is sleeved with a coupling 6, which is connected to the motor shaft 5 by means of positioning screws.

[0080] The lower chamber of the pump body 1 is provided with an impeller 7, which includes a shaft and a plurality of blades. The blades are arc-shaped and integrally formed with the shaft. The integrated design can enhance the strength of the impeller 7, making it safer during high-speed rotation and preventing the blades from falling off or flying out.

[0081] The impeller 7 is arranged at the bottom end of the motor 4 and is fixed to the bottom end of the coupling 6 by means of bolts. The impeller 7 is connected to the motor 4 through the coupling 6. When the motor 4 rotates, it drives the motor shaft 5 to rotate, thereby driving the coupling 6 and the impeller 7 to rotate together.

[0082] The pump body 1 also includes a water inlet 8 and a water outlet pipe 9. The water inlet 8 is arranged on the bottom surface of the pump body 1 and connects the external environment to the lower chamber of the pump body 1.

[0083] The water outlet pipe 9 is arranged on the side surface of the pump body 1. The top end of the water outlet pipe 9 is provided with a water outlet. The inner cavity of the water outlet pipe 9 is connected to the lower chamber. The liquid enters the lower chamber from the water inlet 8, reaches the water outlet pipe 9, and is finally sprayed out of the water outlet.

[0084] Further, the water outlet pipe 9 is a three-section stepped structure, and the pipe diameter decreases from bottom to top. By providing a water outlet pipe 9 with different pipe diameters, the submersible pump can be adapted to different pipe diameters, making it more widely applicable.

[0085] The pump body 1 further comprises a diffusion chamber 10, which is arranged between and communicated with the lower chamber and the water outlet pipe 9. The diffusion chamber 10 is used to slow down the speed of the liquid, thereby further increasing the hydraulic pressure of the liquid, so that the liquid is more easily pumped out.

[0086] After the liquid enters the lower chamber, the impeller 7 rotates at high speed, and the liquid in the impeller 7 rotates together with the blades of the impeller 7. Under the action of centrifugal force, the liquid is ejected outward from the impeller 7. The ejected liquid gradually slows down in the diffusion chamber 10 of the pump body 1, and the pressure gradually increases, and then flows out from the water outlet pipe 9.

[0087] At the same time, a vacuum low-pressure area without air and liquid is formed at the center of the shaft of the impeller 7 due to the liquid being thrown to the surrounding. The liquid in the pool flows into the pump through the water inlet 8 under the action of the atmospheric pressure on the pool surface, thereby realizing circulation.

[0088] Example Three

[0089] Please refer to Figures 1-2 On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, another embodiment is provided.

[0090] The bottom end of the pump body 1 is further provided with a bottom foot 12, which is fixed to the bottom end of the pump body 1 by bolt connection. The bottom foot 12 comprises a support frame and a bottom plate, which are fixed by bolt connection. The bottom plate is used to fit the bottom of the pool when the submersible pump is placed, so that the submersible pump is more stable and not easy to be tilted. Hollows are formed on the side surface of the support frame at symmetrical positions, so that the liquid can enter the bottom foot 12 from the pool, and then enter the pump body 1 from the water inlet 8. The bottom foot 12 can raise the height of the pump body 1 from the bottom of the pool, prevent the pump body 1 from sinking to block the water inlet 8, and further prevent the motor 4 from idling.

[0091] The top end of the pump body 1 is fixedly connected with a handle, which makes the use and carrying of the submersible pump more convenient.

[0092] The top end of the pump body 1 is further provided with a power cord, which is electrically connected with the controller 11 by penetrating the pump body 1. The connection between the power cord and the pump body 1 is sealed to prevent liquid from entering the upper chamber of the pump body 1.

[0093] Example Four

[0094] Please refer to Figure 3 On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, another embodiment is provided.

[0095] The switch 31 and the indicator light 33 are selected from the prior art light touch switch 31 with the indicator light 33; the switch 31 comprises a conductive terminal, an elastic contact piece, a waterproof part and a movable button part; the indicator light 33 comprises a base and an LED light; the elastic contact piece is located above the conductive terminal and has a gap with the conductive terminal, and the conductive terminal extends from below the base to connect the liquid level sensor 32. The LED light is located above the elastic contact piece, and the LED light circuit board is electrically connected with the conductive terminal, so as to realize the electrical connection between the LED light and the liquid level sensor 32. The button part is connected with the waterproof part, the waterproof part is located above the LED light and connected with the elastic contact piece through the LED light, and when the button key is pressed, the waterproof part moves downward to press the elastic contact piece, so that the elastic contact piece and the conductive terminal are in contact to realize the circuit conduction, the LED light is turned on, and the liquid level sensor is powered on at the same time.

[0097] Please refer to Figure 3 On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, another embodiment is provided.

[0098] The switch 31 is electrically connected with the controller 11, the indicator light 33 is also electrically connected with the controller 11, the switch 31 is electrically connected with the liquid level sensor 32, and the control principle of the sensing assembly is:

[0099] When any one of the switches 31 is pressed, the liquid level sensor 32 electrically connected with the switch 31 forms a path and is turned on; when the liquid level sensor 32 is turned on, a characteristic signal is output to the controller 11, and the controller 11 receives and processes the characteristic signal and identifies it; the controller 11 can identify different characteristic signals emitted by different liquid level sensors 32, and after the identification is completed, a feedback signal is output to the indicator light 33 corresponding to the turned-on liquid level sensor 32, and the indicator light 33 is turned on.

[0100] When any one of the switches 31 is exited, the liquid level sensor 32 corresponding to the switch 31 also emits a characteristic signal to the controller 11, the controller 11 identifies it and outputs a feedback signal to the corresponding indicator light 33, and the indicator light 33 is turned off.

[0141] When the submersible pump is powered on for the first time, two liquid level sensors 32 are turned on by default, and the indicator light 33 on the liquid level sensor 32 is always on; by pressing the switch 31 on any liquid level sensor 32, the corresponding liquid level sensor 32 can be turned on and off, thereby realizing automatic control of different height liquid levels, at this time the first liquid level sensor 321 is set to be higher than the second liquid level sensor 322.

[0142] When only one liquid level sensor 32 is turned on on the submersible pump, the indicator light 33 on the switch 31 of the sensing assembly 3 flashes when it is pressed alone; when only a single liquid level sensor 32 is turned on, in any working state, pressing the switch 31 of the other sensing assembly 3 can make the submersible pump return to the state of turning on two liquid level sensors 32.

[0143] By pressing the switch 31 to turn on liquid level sensors 32 of different heights and different numbers, different automatic control liquid level methods are realized, so that the submersible pump is adapted to more application scenarios.

[0144] When the environment used is different, the height of the liquid level that wants to be automatically controlled is also different, and the submersible pump provided with the application automatic control liquid level method can control the liquid level in different height ranges to adapt to different use requirements.

[0145] Embodiment ten

[0146] Please refer to Figures 1-6 On the basis of the embodiment of the present application, another embodiment is provided.

[0147] The function of the submersible pump further includes manual turning on and off and timing off.

[0148] The submersible pump can be manually forced to turn on and off, at this time no liquid level sensor 32 is turned on.

[0149] The timing module has preset countdowns of different lengths, when no liquid level sensor 32 is turned on, the submersible pump can apply countdowns of different lengths by outputting different signals through the preset program on the signal processing module after being manually turned on, and after the countdown is over, the control module controls the submersible pump to turn off, thereby realizing the function of timing off.
