DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] 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 than those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments of the following disclosure.

[0030] Example

[0031] See also Figure 1-8 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution for a low-noise gear pump with adjustable pressure: comprising a gear housing 11, with interface seats 12 provided on both sides of the gear housing 11, each interface seat 12 being provided with a liquid discharge interface 13 and a liquid inlet interface 14. A gear cavity 15 is formed inside the gear housing 11 for accommodating a gear transmission system. A front cover seat 21 is installed at the front end of the gear housing 11, and a rear cover seat 24 is installed at the rear end. Sealing notches 25 are provided on the opposite inner walls of the front cover seat 21 and the rear cover seat 24, respectively, to ensure the sealing inside the gear cavity 15.

[0032] A column opening 23 is provided through the front cover seat 21, and a driving column 31 is connected in the column opening 23. A lower gear 32 is installed on the driving column 31, and the lower gear 32 is located in the gear cavity 15. A transmission column 35 is provided above the lower gear 32, and an upper gear 36 is installed on the transmission column 35. The upper gear 36 is meshed with the lower gear 32 to form a meshing gear pair for transmitting power.

[0033] A flow control seat 4 is installed outside the liquid inlet interface 14, and a flow control mechanism is installed inside the flow control seat 4. The flow control mechanism includes a rear ring plate 41 and a front ring plate 42. The inner wall of the rear ring plate 41 is provided with a plurality of guide grooves 411 along the circumferential direction of the ring opening, and the front ring plate 42 is provided with a plurality of guide openings 421 along the circumferential direction of the ring opening, and the guide openings 421 correspond to the guide grooves 411 one by one. A plurality of control plates 43 are arranged between the front ring plate 41 and the rear ring plate 42, and the control plates 43 are arranged in a circular shape. A guide column head 44 is installed at the front end of each control plate 43, and a guide bar 45 is installed at the rear end. The guide column head 44 extends into the guide opening 421 and is slidably connected thereto, and the guide bar 45 extends into the guide groove 411 and is also slidably connected thereto. This structural design enables the flow control mechanism to adjust the flow through the liquid inlet interface 14 as needed.

[0034] Among them, the sides of adjacent control plates 43 are precisely fitted to ensure that they can be seamlessly synchronized. This precise matching not only improves the response speed of the control plate 43, but also enhances the stability and reliability of the overall system. The rotational connection design between the rear ring plate 41 and the flow control seat 4 allows the entire device to be flexibly adjusted during operation to adapt to different flow requirements. This rotational connection method allows the rear ring plate 41 to rotate freely within a certain range, thereby achieving precise control of the flow. Overall, this design not only optimizes the collaborative work between the control plate 43 and the rear ring plate 41, but also improves the performance and efficiency of the entire system.

[0035] Among them, a micro motor 46 is installed in the quantity control seat 4, and the output end of the micro motor 46 is connected to a bevel gear 47 through a transmission shaft. The micro motor 46 is responsible for providing power, and the flow rate can be finely adjusted by accurately controlling its rotation speed and rotation direction. The bevel gear 47 is installed at the end of the transmission shaft. It is a small gear with an umbrella-shaped tooth shape that can mesh with the bevel gear ring 48.

[0036] The rear ring plate 41 is a part of the flow control device, and a bevel gear ring 48 is installed on the back thereof. The bevel gear ring 48 is a gear ring matching the bevel gear 47, and its inner side has a tooth shape meshing with the bevel gear 47. When the micro motor 46 is started, the bevel gear 47 rotates accordingly, and due to the meshing of the bevel gear 47 and the bevel gear ring 48, this rotational motion is transmitted to the bevel gear ring 48.

[0037] Among them, the front cover seat 21 is provided with fixing recesses 22 for fixing on both sides, and these recesses are designed to ensure the stable connection between the front cover seat and other components to withstand various forces and vibrations during the working process. A shaft sleeve 34 is provided between the drive column 31 and the column mouth 23, and the function of the shaft sleeve 34 is to reduce friction and improve the flexibility and durability of the rotating parts. The shaft sleeve 34 is usually made of wear-resistant material to ensure good performance during long-term operation. In addition, the outer end of the drive column 31 is provided with a spline assembly port 33, which is a structure with multiple parallel key teeth, which allows the drive column to be accurately connected to the output shaft of a power device such as a motor or an engine. This connection method not only transmits torque, but also ensures the concentricity between the power device and the drive column, thereby ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the entire transmission system.

[0038] A sealing rubber ring 29 is installed in the sealing notch 25. The sealing rubber ring is usually made of rubber or other elastic materials and can effectively prevent leakage of liquid or gas. The installation position and size of the sealing rubber ring 29 must be accurate to ensure that it can fit tightly to achieve the best sealing effect.

[0039] The driving column 31 and the transmission column 35 are important components for transmitting power in the mechanical device. They are both covered with positioning column sleeves 37, which not only play a positioning role, but also can protect the driving column and the transmission column from the influence of the external environment, such as dust, moisture, etc., and can also reduce friction and extend the service life of the components. The positioning column sleeve 37 is rotatably connected with the driving column 31 and the transmission column 35, which means that they can rotate relative to each other. This design allows power to be transmitted between different components while maintaining the stability and accuracy of the components.

[0040] The positioning column sleeve 37 is installed in the front cover seat 21 and the rear cover seat 24. These two cover seats are fixed parts of the mechanical device. They provide structural support for the entire device and are usually used to fix and protect internal mechanical components.

[0041] Among them, side baffles 38 are installed inside the front cover seat 21 and the rear cover seat 24. The design of these side baffles 38 is very clever, and two through-holes 39 are set through them. These two through-holes 39 not only add a unique appearance to the side baffles 38, but also play an important role in practical applications. The design position and size of the through-holes 39 are carefully calculated to ensure that they can perfectly match the insertion of the positioning column sleeve 37.

[0042] The positioning column sleeve 37 is inserted into the through opening 39 to play a role in positioning and fixing. The insertion of the positioning column sleeve 37 not only ensures the stability of the side baffle 38, but also prevents it from moving or falling off during use. This design makes the entire structure more stable and also improves the durability and reliability of the product.

[0043] In addition, the coordinated use of the side baffle 38 and the positioning column sleeve 37 can also effectively protect the internal components and prevent dust, dirt or other foreign matter from entering, thereby ensuring the normal operation and service life of the equipment.

[0044] Among them, the corners of the gear housing 11 are provided with through holes 16, the corners of the front cover seat 21 and the rear cover seat 24 are provided with stud holes 26 at the same positions, and studs 27 are installed in the stud holes 26 and the through holes 16, and gaskets 28 are mounted on the studs 27. The studs 27 are a common fastener, which passes through the through holes 16 of the gear housing 11 and the stud holes 26 of the front and rear cover seats, thereby firmly connecting these components together. In order to improve the reliability of the connection and reduce wear, gaskets 28 are mounted on the studs 27. Gaskets 28 are a kind of flat washers, which are used to disperse pressure and prevent the studs 27 from directly acting on the metal surface to cause damage. At the same time, they can also fill the small unevenness between the connecting parts to ensure the tightness and sealing of the connection.

[0045] The working principle and use process of the present invention: the driving column 31 is connected to the output shaft of the power device such as a motor or an engine through the spline assembly port 33 to ensure the transmission of power. When the motor is started, the power is transmitted to the driving column 31 through the spline assembly port 33, thereby driving the gear in the gear housing 11 to rotate.

[0046] The micro motor 46, as the core component of flow regulation, controls the rotation speed and direction of rotation to precisely control the rotation of the bevel gear 47, thereby affecting the movement of the bevel gear ring 48. The meshing of the bevel gear ring 48 with the bevel gear 47 then drives the movement of the control plate 43. Due to the precise matching of the control plate 43 with the guide column head 44 and the guide strip 45, the flow control mechanism can adjust the flow through the liquid inlet interface 14 as needed.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
