Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mud pumps, and in particular to a mud pump which realizes continuous mud pumping by hydraulically driving a liquid bag. Background Art
[0002] The working principle of the existing piston mud pump is to drive the crankshaft of the pump to rotate through the power machine, and the crankshaft drives the piston to reciprocate in the cylinder sleeve through the connecting rod to suck and discharge the mud. Due to the sliding friction between the piston and the cylinder sleeve, the hard particles in the mud are easy to enter the friction pair, causing the wear of the piston and the cylinder sleeve, thereby affecting the service life of the mud pump. Frequent maintenance and replacement not only reduce the working efficiency of the equipment, but also increase the operating cost. Therefore, the key issue in the prior art is: how to solve the friction problem between the piston and the cylinder sleeve through innovative structures and achieve continuous and smooth mud transportation. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an improved mud pump structure, which uses a liquid bag as a core conveying component, and realizes continuous mud pumping through the interactive expansion and contraction of the left and right liquid bags. The linkage component ensures that when one liquid bag pumps mud, the other liquid bag sucks mud, and the two liquid bags are mutually in and out, achieving the effect of continuous mud pumping.
[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mud pump, comprising the following components: Pump slurry assembly: including cylinder body, liquid bag, cylinder cover, oil channel, slurry inlet valve and slurry outlet valve, used to realize the suction and discharge of mud. The left and right pump slurry assemblies are respectively configured, and the left and right pump slurry assemblies work alternately to realize continuous mud pumping.
[0005] Linkage assembly: used to coordinate the interactive expansion and contraction of the left and right liquid bags, so that when one liquid bag is pumping slurry, the other liquid bag is sucking slurry, ensuring continuous pumping of slurry. The linkage assembly can be composed of multiple guide wheels, wire rope pulleys, gear racks or levers.
[0006] Hydraulic source: The expansion and contraction of the bladder are driven by hydraulic oil to control the suction and discharge of mud.
[0007] Hydraulic transmission assembly: Isolate the hydraulic source from the liquid capsule to better protect them and prevent damage to the other party when either party fails. During production, by adopting different cylinder diameter ratios between the drive cylinder and the pump cylinder, the hydraulic flow or hydraulic pressure can be amplified to adapt to different working conditions.
[0008] Guide assembly: includes guide sleeve and pull rod, and the sealing structure between the two, to prevent external impurities from entering the system and ensure the airtightness and safety of the hydraulic system.
[0009] Specific structure and working principle 1. Left and right pump slurry components: Pump slurry components are arranged side by side on both sides of the pump, and the expansion and contraction of the liquid bag is controlled by hydraulic pressure. The linkage component ensures that when the left liquid bag pumps slurry, the right liquid bag sucks slurry synchronously, and vice versa. Through this alternating working mode, continuous and stable mud transportation is achieved.
[0010] 2. Linkage assembly: used to coordinate the actions of the left and right bladders. When one bladder expands to discharge the mud, the other bladder contracts to absorb the mud, ensuring the continuous flow of the mud. The linkage assembly can be realized by using multiple guide wheels, wire rope pulleys, gear racks or levers.
[0011] 3. Guide assembly: A sealing structure is used between the guide sleeve and the pull rod to prevent leakage of hydraulic oil and ensure controlled operation of the bladder. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Linkage components: Guide wheel frame (13), guide wheel (15), guide belt (14): ensure stable movement of the pull rod; Pull rod (10): used to link the synchronous extension and contraction of the liquid bladder, so that the liquid bladders on the left and right sides work interactively to ensure continuous pumping of mud; it can be composed of a gear set, a wire rope pulley set or a lever.
[0018] (3) Guidance components: The sealing structure between the guide sleeve (12) and the pull rod prevents the hydraulic oil from leaking out and ensures the airtightness of the hydraulic system.
