DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below by reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0025] The input end sealing structure of an emulsion pump according to an embodiment of the present application is described below in combination with Figures 1-6

[0026] As Figures 1-6 ​As shown, the input end sealing structure of the emulsion pump according to the embodiment of the present application comprises a gear box shell 1, a gear shaft 2, a spacer ring 3, a transparent cover 4 and a lip oil seal 5. The gear shaft 2 is rotatably installed on the gear box shell 1 through a rolling bearing 6, and the rolling bearing 6 is located at the input side of the gear box shell 1. The left side of the outer ring of the rolling bearing 6 abuts against the input side of the gear box shell 1, and the left side of the inner ring of the rolling bearing 6 abuts against the shaft shoulder of the gear shaft 2.

[0027] The spacer ring 3, the transparent cover 4 and the lip oil seal 5 are all located at the side of the rolling bearing 6 away from the gear box shell 1, and the spacer ring 3 is sleeved on the gear shaft 2 and abuts against the inner ring of the rolling bearing 6. Specifically, the left side of the spacer ring 3 abuts against the right side of the inner ring of the rolling bearing 6 and rotates simultaneously with the gear shaft 2, and the right side of the spacer ring 3 is sequentially fitted with a coupling and a pressing plate, and the pressing plate is connected to the end of the gear shaft 2 through bolts to press the pressing plate, the coupling, the spacer ring 3 and the rolling bearing 6 tightly on the shaft shoulder of the gear shaft 2.

[0028] The transparent cover 4 is sleeved on the spacer ring 3, and the transparent cover 4 is connected to the gear box shell 1 and abuts against the outer ring of the rolling bearing 6, thereby achieving the limiting of the rolling bearing 6. The lip oil seal 5 is fitted between the spacer ring 3 and the transparent cover 4, and the lip of the lip oil seal 5 faces the rolling bearing 6. An oil collecting cavity is formed between the transparent cover 4 and the rolling bearing 6, and the gear box shell 1 has an oil return channel 11 communicating the oil collecting cavity and an oil pool 12 inside the gear box shell 1.

[0029] According to the input end sealing structure of the emulsion pump according to the embodiment of the present application, the oil return channel 11 communicating the oil pool 12 on both sides of the rolling bearing 6 and the oil collecting cavity is arranged on the gear box shell 1, thereby the flowability of the lubricating oil in the oil collecting cavity is high, and the cooling effect on the rolling bearing 6 is better. Moreover, no pressure difference exists on both sides of the rolling bearing 6, and the oil collecting cavity does not have a large oil pressure, and the lubricating oil is not easy to seep out from the gap between the transparent cover 4 and the spacer ring 3, and in combination with the sealing of the gap between the transparent cover 4 and the spacer ring 3 by the lip oil seal 5, thereby effectively avoiding the outward seepage and leakage of the emulsion pump at the input end.

[0030] In some embodiments, the end of the oil return channel 11 connected to the oil collecting cavity is higher than the end of the oil return channel 11 connected to the oil pool 12, and the oil return channel 11 is connected to the lower edge of the oil collecting cavity.

[0031] As shown, Figure 1 In actual use, the axial direction of the gear shaft 2 of the emulsion pump 100 is horizontal, and the upper end of the oil return channel 11 is connected to the lower edge of the oil collecting cavity, thereby facilitating the flow of the lubricating oil in the oil collecting cavity to the oil pool 12. Especially when the emulsion pump 100 stops working, the lubricating oil in the oil collecting cavity can almost all flow to the oil pool 12 under the action of gravity, effectively avoiding the slow seepage and leakage of the lubricating oil in the oil collecting cavity.

[0032] In some embodiments, asFigure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in

[0033] By setting the V-shaped groove 42 at the lower edge of the oil collecting cavity, the accumulation of lubricating oil in the oil collecting cavity is effectively achieved, and the lubricating oil in the oil collecting cavity is further facilitated to flow back to the oil pool 12, thereby further reducing the risk of oil leakage at the input end of the emulsion pump.

[0034] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The first inclined surface and the second inclined surface on the transparent cover 4 for forming the V-shaped groove 42 are perpendicular to each other, and the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface are symmetrically arranged relative to the vertical surface. Thus, the accumulation efficiency of lubricating oil in the oil collecting cavity is further improved.

[0035] In some embodiments, the spacer ring 3 includes a first ring segment and a second ring segment connected in sequence along the axial direction thereof, the second ring segment is located on the side of the first ring segment away from the oil collecting cavity, the first ring segment is gap-fitted with the transparent cover 4, and the second ring segment and the transparent cover 4 form an annular cavity for assembling the lip oil seal 5. The lip oil seal 5 is a rotary seal. By gap-fitting the first ring segment with the transparent cover 4, the lubricating oil in the oil collecting cavity first passes through the gap between the first ring segment and the transparent cover 4, and then enters the annular cavity formed between the second ring segment and the transparent cover 4, thereby effectively avoiding direct impact of the lubricating oil in the oil collecting cavity on the lip oil seal 5, and ensuring the sealing effect of the lip oil seal 5.

[0036] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 6 The outer peripheral surface of the first ring segment is provided with a scraping groove 31 extending helically along the axial direction of the first ring segment, and the rotation direction of the scraping groove 31 is opposite to the rotation direction of the gear shaft 2.

[0037] That is, when the emulsion pump 100 is working, the direction in which the gear shaft 2 drives the rotation of the spacer ring 3 is opposite to the rotation direction of the scraping groove 31, and then the scraping groove 31 scrapes the lubricating oil in the gap between the first ring segment and the transparent cover 4 towards the direction of the oil collecting cavity, thereby further preventing the lubricating oil in the oil collecting cavity from leaking out.

[0038] It should be noted that the scraping groove 31 can also be provided on the inner peripheral surface of the transparent cover 4 that cooperates with the first ring segment.

[0039] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the inner circumferential surface of the constant-diameter ring 3 is provided with a second annular groove 32, and the input end sealing structure of the emulsion pump further comprises a first sealing ring 7, which is fitted in the second annular groove 32. The first sealing ring 7 is pressed against the circumferential surface of the gear shaft 2, thereby effectively ensuring the sealing of the connection between the constant-diameter ring 3 and the gear shaft 2 and further avoiding the leakage of lubricating oil.

[0040] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the side of the transparent cover 4 facing the gear box shell 1 is provided with a third annular groove 13, and the input end sealing structure of the emulsion pump further comprises a second sealing ring 8, which is fitted in the third annular groove 13. The second sealing ring 8 is pressed against the side of the transparent cover 4 facing the gear box shell 1, thereby effectively ensuring the sealing of the connection between the transparent cover 4 and the gear box shell 1 and further avoiding the leakage of lubricating oil.

[0041] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2-4 As shown, the transparent cover 4 is provided with a plurality of connection holes 43 distributed along the circumference of the transparent cover 4, and the input side of the gear box shell 1 is provided with threaded holes 14 corresponding to the connection holes 43. The transparent cover 4 is connected to the gear box shell 1 by threaded members passing through the connection holes 43 and screwing into the corresponding threaded holes 14.

[0042] The threaded member is a bolt, which passes through the connection hole 43 and is screwed into the corresponding threaded hole 14, thereby realizing the connection of the transparent cover 4 and the gear box shell 1, and facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the transparent cover 4 with high connection strength.

[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 As shown, the plurality of connection holes 43 are arranged around the third annular groove 13. That is, the connection holes 43 are located radially outside the third annular groove 13 on the transparent cover 4, thereby effectively preventing the lubricating oil in the oil collection cavity from penetrating outward through the connection holes 43 and further avoiding the leakage of lubricating oil.
