Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a water pump, and more particularly to a pipeline pump structure. Background Art

[0002] Pipeline pumps are typically installed in pipelines and can be used for boosting or circulating pressure. To prevent water from entering the motor during use, a drainage structure is often required between the motor and the pump body to allow leaking water to drain promptly and prevent water from entering the motor and causing a short circuit. A common method currently involves installing a bracket between the pump body and the motor, providing a drainage cavity on the bracket, and opening drainage holes on the bracket for drainage. However, the drainage holes on the bracket are small and cannot be directly cored out of the mold, requiring subsequent processing. Furthermore, with only one drainage hole on the bracket, water is difficult to drain due to tension. Furthermore, the current bracket structure is complex and can only be cast, resulting in high costs and complex processes. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Preferably, the outer wall of one end of the sealing sleeve is sealingly fitted with the inner wall of the installation groove, and the end face of the sealing sleeve is sealingly fitted with the bottom face of the installation groove; the other end of the sealing sleeve is sealingly sleeved with the rotating shaft.

[0033] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0034] Example 1: A pipeline pump structure (see attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 5 The pump comprises a pump body 1, a motor 2, and a bracket 3 mounted between the pump body and the motor. The motor is provided with an outwardly extending rotating shaft 4, forming a drainage cavity 5 between the bracket and the motor. The bracket is formed with multiple circumferentially evenly spaced drainage holes 6. The front end of the rotating shaft passes through the bracket and is positioned within the pump body. One end of the drainage hole opens into the outer wall of the bracket, and the other end opens into the drainage cavity. The surface of the bracket facing the motor is a water accumulation surface 7, and the drainage hole is flush with the water accumulation surface. In this embodiment, four drainage holes are evenly spaced circumferentially: one each on the top, bottom, left, and right sides.

[0035] The pump body is provided with a pump chamber 8, and an impeller 9 is mounted at the front end of the rotating shaft. The impeller is set in the pump chamber, and the pump body is provided with a liquid inlet 10 and a liquid outlet 11. A liquid inlet hole 12 is provided in the center of the impeller, and a liquid outlet hole 13 is provided at the edge of the impeller. The liquid inlet hole is connected to the liquid inlet, and the liquid outlet is toward the edge of the impeller. As the impeller rotates, the centrifugal force throws the water out and discharges it out through the liquid outlet hole and the liquid outlet.

[0036] Four connecting ears 14 are provided on the edge of the bracket, one between each pair of adjacent drain holes. These ears secure the bracket to the pump body and motor. An extension ring 15 is provided on the outer edge of the bracket, extending toward the pump body. A connecting ring 16 protrudes outward from its outer wall. The end of the extension ring is fitted over the pump body, with the end face of the connecting ring tightly fitting against the pump body.

[0037] The center of the bracket is recessed toward the motor to form a mounting slot 17. A sealing sleeve 18 is installed between the mounting slot and the impeller. The sealing sleeve fits over the rotating shaft and is equipped with a preload spring 19. Two spring seats 20 are located on the outer wall of the sealing sleeve, one closer to the impeller and the other closer to the bracket. The preload spring abuts between the two spring seats. The outer wall of one end of the sealing sleeve seals against the inner wall of the mounting slot, while the end face of the sealing sleeve seals against the bottom surface of the mounting slot. The other end of the sealing sleeve seals against the rotating shaft.

[0038] The bracket features a connecting collar 21 protruding toward the motor. Its end face is tightly connected to the motor's end face. Connecting posts 22 are located on the bracket, corresponding to the drain holes. These posts extend radially through the collar, which extends through the drain holes. An annular flange 23 is located on the outer edge of the connecting collar. The collar is equipped with several water channels 24. A sleeve 25 connects to the motor's exterior, forming a cooling ring cavity 26 between its inner wall and the motor's outer wall. Slots 27 are located at the front end of the motor, corresponding to the water channels, connecting the slots to the cooling ring cavity. Two sealing rings are installed between the front end of the motor and the connecting collar. The slots and water channels are located between the two sealing rings. The front and rear ends of the motor are equipped with front and rear covers 28 and 29, respectively. The slots and cooling fins are located on the front cover. A sleeve is connected between the two covers, and the flange seals fit over the outer edge of the front cover. Several locking screws 30 are evenly spaced between the two covers. These locking screws are located within the cooling ring cavity, transferring heat and improving the motor's heat dissipation.

[0039] During operation, water leaking between the shaft and bracket flows into the drain chamber and out through the drain holes, preventing it from entering the motor and potentially causing a short circuit. Multiple drain holes are formed simultaneously on the bracket, allowing for direct mold core removal, simplifying fabrication and reducing costs. Furthermore, the evenly spaced drain holes eliminate any orientation restrictions during bracket installation, ensuring no water accumulation in the drain chamber. Water within the pump body flows through the water troughs and slots into the cooling ring, cooling the motor and accelerating heat dissipation, thereby ensuring optimal performance.

[0040] Example 2: A pipeline pump structure (see attached Figure 6 , Attachment Figure 7), its structure is similar to that of Example 1, the main difference being that a number of heat sinks 31 are provided on the end face of the front end cover in this embodiment, and the heat sinks are evenly distributed circumferentially, and the heat sinks are arranged 60 degrees radially away from the center from one end to the other. A drainage ring 32 is tightly connected to the rotating shaft, and both the heat sink and the drainage ring are placed in the drainage cavity. A number of blades 33 are evenly installed on the drainage ring, and the heat sinks are placed on the periphery of the blades; the end face of the drainage ring fits on the end face of the bracket, and an annular groove 34 is provided on the end face of the drainage ring. The annular groove opens toward the gap between the outer wall of the rotating shaft and the bracket, and an outlet hole 35 is provided on the outer wall of the drainage ring near the blade position. The side wall of the annular groove is inclined from the inside to the outside in the direction close to the motor, and the outlet hole is inclined from the inside to the outside in the direction close to the motor. The inclined annular groove and outlet hole have a good drainage effect and facilitate the outflow of water. The other structures are the same as those of Example 1.

[0041] During shaft rotation, when there's no leakage between the shaft and the bracket, the blades rotate with the shaft, generating airflow that acts on the heat sink, accelerating heat dissipation from the motor. If leakage occurs between the shaft and the bracket, the leaked water flows into the annular groove and out through the outlet holes onto the blades. As the blades rotate, the water is centrifugally driven outward and dispersed by the blades, forming a mist that flows toward the heat sink along with the airflow, significantly improving heat dissipation from the heat sink. This structural arrangement not only accelerates the discharge of leaked water but also enhances heat dissipation from the motor.

[0042] The above-described embodiments are only preferred solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. Other variations and modifications are possible without exceeding the technical solutions described in the claims.
