Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gear pumps, in particular to a gear pump with axially positioned rolling bearings. Background Art

[0002] A gear pump is a rotary pump that transfers liquids or increases pressure by utilizing the changes in working volume and movement between the pump cylinder and meshing gears. Two gears, a pump body, and front and rear covers form two enclosed chambers. As the gears rotate, the volume of the chamber on the disengaged side expands, creating a vacuum that draws the liquid in. The volume of the chamber on the meshing side decreases, squeezing the liquid into the pipeline. The suction and discharge chambers are separated by the meshing line of the two gears. The pressure at the discharge port of a gear pump is entirely dependent on the resistance at the pump outlet. Common gear pumps often rely on friction plates on the left and right sides of the pump body to absorb the axial force of the gear segments. If the pump is not properly lubricated, mechanical wear can occur, causing the gear shaft to loosen and shortening the pump's service life. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a gear pump with axially positioned rolling bearings to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, there are four friction plates in total, which are respectively located between the driving gear shaft, the driven gear shaft gear segments and the front bracket, and the rear bracket when installed.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the bearing brackets are composed of four pieces, which are located between the driving gear shaft, the driven gear shaft gear segments and the rolling bearings when installed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] Example 1

[0014] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the present invention discloses a gear pump with axial positioning of rolling bearings, including a pump body 1, a driving gear shaft 2, a driven gear shaft 3, a friction plate 4, a bearing bracket 5, a rolling bearing 6, a bearing adjustment washer 7, a front bracket 8, a machine seal chamber 9, a mechanical seal 10, a rear bracket 11, a bearing gland 12, a pressing nut 13, an adjusting bolt 14, and a rear cover 15; the front bracket 8 is mounted on the left side of the pump body 1; the rear bracket 11 is mounted on the right side of the pump body 1; the machine seal chamber 9 is mounted on the left side of the front bracket 8; the rear cover 15 is mounted on the right side of the rear bracket 11; the gear segment of the driving gear shaft 2 is mounted on the upper side of the interior of the pump body 1; the gear segment of the driven gear shaft 3 is mounted on the lower side of the interior of the pump body 1 The pump body 1 has a plurality of roller bearings 6 arranged side by side, meshing with the gear segments of the driving gear shaft 2. The friction plates 4 are mounted on the left and right sides of the pump body 1. The bearing brackets 5 are mounted within the friction plates 4. The rolling bearings 6 are mounted on the two side shaft segments of the driving gear shaft 2 and the driven gear shaft 3, located within the front bracket 8 and the rear bracket 11. The bearing adjustment washers 7 are mounted on the left side shaft segments of the driving gear shaft 2 and the driven gear shaft 3, located within the front bracket 8. The mechanical seal 10 is mounted on the left side shaft segment of the driving gear shaft 2, located within the mechanical seal chamber 9. The bearing gland 12 is mounted within the rear bracket 11, pressing against the right end face of the rolling bearing 6. The adjusting bolts 14 pass through the rear bracket 11, press against the bearing gland 12, and are fitted with compression nuts 13 for locking. Several rolling bearings 6 are arranged side by side on the left and right shaft segments of the driving gear shaft 2 and the driven gear shaft 3. The left side is fixed by the bearing adjustment washers 7, and the right side is fixed by the adjusting bolts 14 squeezing the bearing gland 12, thereby fixing the driving gear shaft 2 and the driven gear shaft 3 to prevent friction between their gear segments and the friction plates 4.

[0015] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: When designing the present invention, the rolling bearing 6 is arranged on the outside of the pump body 1, and the bearing bracket 5 is arranged in the friction plate 4. The bearing adjustment washer 7 is used to fix the rolling bearing 6 on the left side, and the bearing pressure cover 12 is squeezed on the right side by the adjusting bolt 14, so that the bearing pressure cover 12 cooperates with the bearing bracket 5 to fix the rolling bearing 6, thereby completing the fixation of the driving gear shaft 2 and the driven gear shaft 3.

[0016] The bearing adjustment washer 7 can be ground to different thicknesses to match the clearance between the front bracket 8 and the rolling bearing 6. By adjusting the installation clearance, a gap is left between the gear segments of both the driving gear shaft 2 and the driven gear shaft 3 and the friction plate 4. The axial force acting on both shafts is borne by the rolling bearing 6, reducing wear and increasing service life. If bearing wear causes the driving gear shaft 2 and the driven gear shaft 3 to become loose again, the driving gear shaft 2 and the driven gear shaft 3 can be dynamically locked by adjusting the bolt 14. At the same time, the bearings or friction plate 4 can be replaced as needed.
