Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of plunger pump, in particular to a plunger shoe assembly. BACKGROUND

[0002] The main problem of plunger pump is low reliability and short service life, and the low reliability and short service life of plunger pump involve the structure, lubrication, strength and other characteristics of three friction pairs. Among them, the wear of plunger pair and shoe pair, shoe jamming and shoe falling are the main reasons for the low reliability and short service life of plunger pump.

[0003] In the process of rotating with the cylinder body, the plunger shoe assembly is inclined along the rotation direction of the cylinder body due to the action of the lateral component of the swash plate and the centrifugal force of itself, so it will cause wear to the plunger hole, especially at the bottom and the opening of the plunger hole. The wear of the plunger hole will cause the leakage to increase and the volumetric efficiency to decrease, and it will even cause the plunger pump to fail. For example, after the durability test of a certain type of plunger pump, the volumetric efficiency decreased by 8%, and it was found that the wear of the opening of each plunger hole reached 0.7mm, the wear of the bottom reached 0.9mm, and the wear of the middle part reached 0.3mm. In addition, the shoe rotates at high speed on the swash plate, and if the lubrication of the working surface of the shoe is not good, it will cause wear and increase the leakage. Furthermore, if the connecting strength is insufficient after the shoe covers the plunger ball head, the shoe will be jammed and the probability of shoe falling will increase.

[0004] For example, the structure of the plunger in the existing plunger shoe assembly is as shown in Figure 6 , the outer wall of the plunger body 01 is a through diameter cylindrical surface. The structure of the shoe is as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the oil ports 021 and 022 on the inner and outer support belts of the shoe body 02 are rectangular, the diameter of the spherical surface and the cylindrical surface in the inner cavity of the shoe body 02 is the same, and the outer wall surface of the shoe body 02 is composed of a cylindrical surface and a conical surface.

[0005] The above-mentioned technology has the following disadvantages:

[0006] (1) The outer wall of the plunger body is a through diameter cylindrical surface, which causes large wear of the plunger body to the plunger hole;

[0007] (2) The oil ports on the inner and outer support belts of the shoe body are rectangular, the diameter of the spherical surface and the cylindrical surface in the inner cavity of the shoe body is the same, and the outer wall surface of the shoe body is composed of a cylindrical surface and a conical surface, which causes large wear of the working surface of the shoe, small rotation pair gap between the shoe and the plunger ball head, and low connecting strength, and there is a risk of jamming and shoe falling.

[0008] At present, the direction to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies in the field is to carry out research on the materials and heat treatment of the plunger and the shoe, and then find the optimal solution, but this direction has high cost, long cycle and low efficiency. SUMMARY

[0009] To solve the above technical problems, the plunger structure and the shoe structure are improved and optimized, and a plunger shoe assembly is provided.

[0010] The plunger shoe assembly comprises a plunger body and a shoe body, the plunger body has a ball head at one end, and the shoe body has an inner cavity matched with the ball head at one end; the ball head end of the circumferential surface of the plunger body has a plunger ball head end arc surface, and the tail end of the circumferential surface of the plunger body has a plunger tail end arc surface; the inner cavity of the shoe body comprises a shoe inner cavity spherical surface and a shoe inner cavity cylindrical surface, and the joint of the shoe inner cavity spherical surface and the shoe inner cavity cylindrical surface is an interface; the shoe inner cavity spherical surface is located above the interface, and the shoe inner cavity cylindrical surface is located below the interface; the diameter of the opening end of the shoe inner cavity spherical surface is smaller than the diameter of the shoe inner cavity cylindrical surface, and the center of the sphere of the shoe inner cavity spherical surface is located below the interface.

[0011] Further, the working surface of the shoe body in contact with the swash plate has an inner support belt and an outer support belt; two shoe inner support belt oil ports are arranged on the inner support belt and are uniformly distributed around the center of the inner support belt; two shoe outer support belt oil ports are arranged on the outer support belt and are uniformly distributed around the center of the support belt; and the lines connecting the two shoe inner support belt oil ports and the two shoe outer support belt oil ports are perpendicular.

[0012] The shoe inner support belt oil port and the shoe outer support belt oil port are circular; the diameter of the shoe inner support belt oil port is greater than the width of the inner support belt, and the center of the circle of the shoe inner support belt oil port is located between the inner and outer circles of the inner support belt; the radius of the shoe outer support belt oil port is greater than the width of the outer support belt, and the center of the circle of the shoe outer support belt oil port is located on the outer circle of the outer support belt.

[0013] The lower end of the outer wall surface of the shoe body has, from bottom to top, an outer wall lower conical surface, an outer wall middle cylindrical surface, and an outer wall upper cylindrical surface; the two ends of the outer wall middle cylindrical surface are smoothly connected with the outer wall lower conical surface and the outer wall upper cylindrical surface, the diameter of the outer wall middle cylindrical surface is smaller than the diameter of the outer wall upper cylindrical surface, and the outer wall middle cylindrical surface and the outer wall upper cylindrical surface meet above the interface.

[0014] The length of the plunger ball head end arc surface is 7-12 mm, and the distance from the end face of the plunger ball head end arc surface to the circumferential surface of the plunger body is 0.008-0.012 mm.

[0015] The length of the plunger tail end arc surface is 10-14 mm, and the distance from the end face of the plunger tail end arc surface to the circumferential surface of the plunger body is 0.02-0.0025 mm.

[0016] The center of the sphere of the shoe inner cavity spherical surface is located 0.5-1 mm below the interface.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the plunger shoe assembly has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] (1) By modifying the spherical head end and tail end arc of the plunger body, the contact area between the plunger body and the plunger orifice and the bottom is reduced, the wear of the plunger hole is reduced, and the stability of the plunger pump volume efficiency and mechanical efficiency is ensured;

[0019] (2) By opening symmetrical circular oil ports on the inner and outer support belts of the sliding shoe, compared with the original rectangular oil port, the circular oil port on the outer support belt increases the flow area of the oil entering the oil groove in the shell, and the opening of the circular oil port towards the oil groove is small, so the oil in the oil groove is not easy to leak. In addition, the circular oil port of the inner support belt can store a certain amount of oil pressure while increasing the flow area. This sliding shoe structure strengthens the lubrication of the working surface of the sliding shoe and reduces the wear;

[0020] (3) By making the diameter of the sliding shoe inner cavity column surface greater than the diameter of the sliding shoe inner cavity spherical surface, and the center of the sliding shoe inner cavity spherical surface is located below the interface, the risk of jamming after the sliding shoe wraps the plunger ball head is reduced. In addition, by making the middle part of the outer wall surface of the sliding shoe concave, the connection strength of the plunger sliding shoe is improved, and the risk of shoe separation is reduced;

[0021] (4) The working reliability of the plunger pump is improved, and the service life is prolonged. Moreover, only the plunger structure and the sliding shoe structure are designed, improved and optimized, without involving materials and heat treatment, so the overall cost is low and the cycle is short.
