DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] Reference Figure 1-5A plastic impeller rotor assembly includes an impeller upper half 1 and an impeller body 2 to form an impeller body 4. The impeller body 4 is formed by ultrasonic welding the impeller upper half 1 and the impeller body 2. The impeller body 2 is integrally injection molded. The shaft tube 22 and the motor rotor 23 in the impeller body 2 are embedded in the impeller body injection molding 21 during injection molding. After welding, the motor rotor 23 is press-fitted with two upper and lower graphite bearings 3. The upper and lower graphite bearings 3 are identical. The shaft tube 22 in the impeller body 2 is a centrally symmetrical structure. The impeller body 4 is divided into seven independent flow channels by seven independent blades, and the seven flow channels are evenly distributed. Welding ribs 212 and a first positioning structure 213 are welded on the impeller body injection molding 21. The welding ribs 212 are located at both ends of the positioning structure 213. The upper half 1 of the impeller is provided with a recessed structure 11 and a second positioning structure 12. The shaft tube 22 is a centrally symmetrical structure. The number of graphite bearings 3 is one piece each on the upper and lower parts. The graphite bearings 3 are identical to prevent misassembly during assembly. The motor rotor 23 is an unmagnetized bonded neodymium iron boron magnet.
[0034] Unlike conventional cylindrical graphite bearings, the present invention adopts a T-shaped graphite bearing 3 . When the graphite bearing 3 is press-fitted, a T-shaped step is provided to limit the position, which can effectively ensure that the product is assembled to the set position.
[0035] The welding ribs 212 provided on the impeller body 2 are triangular structures. When welded together with the impeller upper half 1, the overflow generated by welding will be collected in the recessed structure 11 of the impeller upper half 1, which can effectively prevent the overflow from flowing out and affecting the cleanliness of the product.
[0036] The pressure balancing hole 213 provided in the impeller body 2 can be used to adjust the pressure when the water pressure in the inner and outer cavities of the impeller body 4 is uneven when the impeller is running at high speed.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] Reference Figure 6-Figure 8 There are multiple balancing holes 211, spaced evenly apart. Each balancing hole 211 is fitted with a push block 64. The inner diameter of the balancing hole 211 increases from top to bottom. As the push block 64 moves downward, a gap forms between the push block 64 and the balancing hole 211, increasing the pressure balance between the upper and lower sides. The impeller body 2 is also provided with a pressure measuring hole 9, the inner diameter of which is larger than that of the balancing hole 211. A pressure-sensing trigger 5 is located within the pressure measuring hole. Under the action of pressure, the pressure-sensing trigger 5 drives all the driving push blocks 64 to move via a transmission mechanism. The details are as follows:
[0039] The pressure-sensitive trigger 5 includes a moving block 51, a first spring 52, a piston cylinder 53, a first rod 54, a first permanent magnet 55, a silicon steel sheet 56, a second permanent magnet 57, a second rod 58, and a second spring 59. The transmission mechanism includes a first connecting rod 61, a sliding rod 62, a second connecting rod 63, a cavity 65, and a spacer 66.
[0040] The piston cylinder 53 is fixedly arranged in the pressure measuring hole 9, and the first rod body 54 and the second rod body 58 are symmetrically axially slidably connected on both sides of the piston cylinder 53. The first rod body 54 and the second rod body 58 are respectively covered with a first spring 52 and a second spring 59. The first rod body 54 is close to the top and fixedly connected to the moving block 51, and the second rod body 58 is close to the bottom and axially connected to the first connecting rod 61.
[0041] A first permanent magnet 55 and a second permanent magnet 57 are fixedly mounted on opposite sides of the first rod 54 and the second rod 58 , respectively. The polarities of the opposite sides of the first permanent magnet 55 and the second permanent magnet 57 are the same, and a silicon steel sheet 56 is disposed between the two.
[0042] The pad 66 is integrally formed and arranged on the impeller body injection molding 21. A cavity 65 is opened in the pad 66, and a plurality of through holes are arranged downwardly in the cavity 65. A slide rod 62 is arranged in the cavity 65. One end of the slide rod 62 is connected to the first connecting rod 61 axis, and the other end of the slide rod 62 is connected to the top block 64 axis through a plurality of second connecting rods 63.
[0043] The cavity 65 is connected to the limiting groove 7, and the limiting block 8 is slidably connected in the limiting groove 7. The limiting block 8 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 62. The setting of the limiting groove 7 and the limiting block 8 plays a limiting role, avoiding the dislocation movement of the slide rod 62 and making it only move in a straight line.
[0044] When the water pressure on the upper side increases significantly until it overcomes the elastic force of the first spring 52, the moving block 51 drives the first permanent magnet 55 to move downward and stick to the silicon steel sheet 56. The silicon steel sheet 56 will be magnetized under the action of the upper magnetic force (assuming that the downward side of the first permanent magnet 55 is N-level, then the downward side of the silicon steel sheet 56 after magnetization is also N-level). The second permanent magnet 57 has the same polarity as the side opposite to the first permanent magnet 55 (therefore, the upward side of the second permanent magnet 55 is also N-level). Under the repulsion of the silicon steel sheet 56, it finally overcomes the elastic force of the second spring 59 and moves downward.
[0045] The second permanent magnet 55 pushes the slide rod 7 to slide through the first connecting rod 61. After the slide rod 7 slides, it pushes the top block 64 to move inward through the second connecting rod 63 until the balance hole 211 leaks a gap to balance the upper and lower air pressures. The advantage of this embodiment over the first embodiment is that the balance hole 211 is closed under normal conditions. Only when the pressure increases and the pressure lasts for a period of time until the silicon steel sheet 56 is magnetized will the balance hole 211 be driven to open, avoiding normal connection causing liquid movement disorder, and also avoiding short-term pressurization causing connection. Connection will only occur after a long period of pressurization.
[0046] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention. It is impossible to list all the embodiments here, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with this technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and they should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
