DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] On ships, due to comprehensive layout considerations, some pumps may be located far away from their suction ports. This design may result in a certain amount of time before the air in the suction pipe is pumped out after the pump is started, so that the medium can be pumped. This design layout consideration may be due to space limitations or other technical factors on the ship.

[0023] In actual operation, it is common for the pump to take some time to exhaust after starting, especially for pumps far away from the suction port. This situation may affect the efficiency and response speed of the pump, especially when it is necessary to start and pump the medium quickly.

[0024] Likewise, when the pump stops, a large amount of medium in the suction pipe flows back into the cabin, causing the medium in the cabin to be unable to be drained.

[0025] In order to solve the problem of the pump drawing a vacuum when the pump is far away from the suction port or to prevent the medium from flowing back after the pump is stopped, the present application provides a suction port with a check function.

[0026] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0027] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] The following is combined with Figure 1-2 This application is described in further detail.

[0029] The present application embodiment discloses a suction port with a non-return function. Figure 1 , Figure 2 A suction port with a check function includes a valve body 1, the valve body 1 includes an upper valve member 2 at the top and a lower valve member 3 at the bottom, a sealing rubber ring 4 is arranged between the upper valve member 2 and the lower valve member 3, the upper valve member 2 and the lower valve member 3 are relatively fixed by bolts, and are sealed by the sealing rubber ring 4 between the upper valve member 2 and the lower valve member 3.

[0030] A flow channel 11 is provided inside the valve body 1 , and the flow channel 11 includes an enlarged diameter portion 21 disposed inside the upper valve member 2 and a small diameter portion 31 disposed inside the lower valve member 3 , and the bottom end of the enlarged diameter portion 21 is relatively connected to the top end of the small diameter portion 31 .

[0031] The diameter of the enlarged diameter portion 21 is larger than that of the small diameter portion 31, so that the top wall of the small diameter portion 31 and the inside of the enlarged diameter portion 21 form a boss-shaped sealing step 12. A valve disc 5 is horizontally arranged inside the enlarged diameter portion 21. The valve disc 5 is a circular structure, and the valve disc 5 is located inside the enlarged diameter portion 21 and is relatively slidably connected along the height direction.

[0032] In some embodiments, the diameter of the valve disc 5 is larger than the diameter of the small diameter portion 31, and the diameter of the valve disc 5 is smaller than the diameter of the expanded diameter portion 21, the valve disc 5 is coaxially arranged with the small diameter portion 31, the valve disc 5 is coaxially arranged with the expanded diameter portion 21, and the side wall of the valve disc 5 is provided with a blocking portion 51 opposite to the inner side wall of the small diameter portion 31 and a sealing portion 52 in an annular shape located outside the blocking portion 51, the blocking portion 51 and the sealing portion 52 are fixedly connected, the diameter of the blocking portion 51 is the same as the diameter of the small diameter portion 31, the sealing portion 52 is relatively abutted against the top wall of the lower valve component 3, and the blocking portion 51 is opposite to the inside of the small diameter portion 31.

[0033] When the pump is started, the pressure inside the expanded diameter portion 21 decreases, driving the valve disc 5 to move upward, so that the bottom end of the valve disc 5 is separated from the top wall of the small diameter portion 31, and then the side wall of the valve disc 5 and the inner wall of the expanded diameter portion 21 form an annular flow channel. The medium inside the small diameter portion 31 moves upward under the drive of pressure and enters the interior of the expanded diameter portion 21 through the annular flow channel.

[0034] In some other embodiments, the diameter of the valve disc 5 may be the same as the inner diameter of the enlarged diameter portion 21, and the side wall of the valve disc 5 slides against the inner side wall of the enlarged diameter portion 21, and the valve disc 5 includes a blocking portion 51 opposite to the small diameter portion 31 and an annular sealing portion 52 located outside the blocking portion 51, and the diameter of the blocking portion 51 is the same as the diameter of the small diameter portion 31. A small hole is vertically opened on the bottom wall of the sealing portion 52, and the side wall of the small hole sealing portion 52 is completely penetrated, and a flow channel for the flow of the medium is formed through the opened small hole.

[0035] When the pump is started, the pressure inside the expanded diameter portion 21 decreases, driving the valve disc 5 to move upward, so that the bottom end of the valve disc 5 is separated from the top wall of the small diameter portion 31, and then the small holes on the valve disc 5 form a flow channel. The medium inside the small diameter portion 31 moves upward under the drive of the pressure, first enters the space below the valve disc 5 in the expanded diameter portion 21, and then enters the interior of the expanded diameter portion 21 through the small hole-shaped flow channel.

[0036] A guide rod 53 is fixedly connected to the top of the valve disc 5. The guide rod 53 is coaxially arranged with the valve disc 5. A guide ring 13 is fixedly connected to the inside of the valve body 1 at a position relative to the guide rod 53. The guide ring 13 is coaxially arranged with the guide rod 53 and is an annular structure. A support plate 131 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the guide ring 13. One end of the support plate 131 is fixedly connected to the guide ring 13, and the other end of the support plate 131 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the valve body 1. The guide ring 13 is supported and fixed by the support plate 131.

[0037] The guide rod 53 is located inside the guide ring 13, and the outer wall of the guide rod 53 is in abutment with the inner wall of the guide ring 13 for relative sliding connection. Through the guidance of the guide ring 13, the guide rod 53 can move along the axial direction of the guide ring 13, thereby limiting the height movement of the valve disc 5.

[0038] The thickness of the valve disc 5 gradually decreases from one end close to the center of the guide rod 53 to the end away from the center of the guide rod 53 , so that the thickness of the valve disc 5 close to the center is greater than the thickness at the edge.

[0039] The lower valve member 3 is fixedly connected with a suction port 32 at the bottom end of the small diameter portion 31 . The inner diameter of the suction port 32 gradually decreases along the height direction from bottom to top, and the top opening diameter of the suction port 32 is the same as the bottom opening diameter of the small diameter portion 31 .

[0040] The upper valve member 2 is fixedly connected with a connecting portion 22 at the top end of the expanded diameter portion 21. The diameter of the connecting portion 22 is smaller than the diameter of the expanded diameter portion 21, and the diameter of the connecting portion 22 is smaller than the outer diameter of the valve disc 5. The expanded diameter portion 21 and the connecting portion 22 are smoothly transitioned at the relative abutment position.

[0041] When the pump is started, the valve disc 5 rises, and the medium enters the interior of the small-diameter portion 31 and the enlarged-diameter portion 21 through the trumpet-shaped suction port 32, and then the medium is transported to the required position through the pump.

[0042] When the pump stops, the valve disc 5 drops due to gravity, and the valve disc 5 blocks the flow channel 11 of the small diameter portion 31, thereby preventing the medium in the suction pipe from flowing back into the cabin.

[0043] Before starting the pump for the first time, fill the suction pipe in front of the pump with medium to avoid prolonged vacuuming.
