TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water pump, in particular to a multipurpose intelligent pump set. BACKGROUND
[0002] Water pump, a mechanical device for conveying liquid or pressurizing liquid, it will give the external kinetic energy to the liquid, so that the energy of the liquid flow increases. According to the structure of the water pump, it can be divided into centrifugal, plunger, diaphragm and so on; The liquid transported by the water pump is not only water, but also oil, acid liquid, alkali liquid, emulsion, suspension, and even liquid metal liquid. The main parameters of the water pump include: head, flow, power. At present, the water pump mainly adopts centrifugal structure, because the water pump with centrifugal structure can change the head, flow by simple processing impeller, and the power is determined by the driving device of the input shaft. Therefore, the application of centrifugal water pump is more suitable for the actual requirements.
[0003] After the water pump stops, the liquid in the inlet pipeline flows back due to gravity, causing the liquid in the pump cavity to flow back and enter the air. At this time, the water pump will not be pumped out when it is started again, and at the same time, the damage of the mechanical seal will also be caused due to the lack of liquid cooling. Therefore, water needs to be added before the water pump starts. The most common way to add water is self-filling, that is, filling the water pump and inlet pipe with water.
