AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for taking liquid from above the liquid surface of a centrifugal pump have problems such as inconvenient installation, easy damage to seals, high flow resistance, and difficult maintenance. In particular, water hammer is prone to occur in high-head locations, affecting pipeline safety and efficiency.
Design a bottom valve for a liquid pump, including a valve cover, valve body, pressure plate and check valve. The opening and closing of the shut-off port is controlled by a drive mechanism. Combined with the check valve and flow limiting rod, it realizes the effective delivery of liquid, allows the pump to be installed above the liquid surface and reduces flow resistance, eliminating water hammer phenomenon.
This technology enables efficient installation of the pump above the liquid surface and facilitates liquid delivery, reducing flow resistance, extending maintenance cycles, improving installation convenience and safety, eliminating water hammer, and saving energy.
