Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water pump technology, and more specifically, to a water pump without a drive shaft. Background Technology

[0002] Coal mine pumps are a common piece of equipment in mines. Their main principle is to use the mechanical motion of the pump to transport liquids or gases from low-pressure areas to high-pressure areas, thereby enabling the transport and discharge of substances such as water, mud, and oil in coal mines. The working principle of coal mine pumps involves multiple fields such as fluid mechanics and mechanical engineering.

[0003] First, the working principle of a coal mine pump can be summarized as the pressure difference principle. When the pump starts, a low-pressure area is formed inside the pump, and liquid or gas is drawn into the pump; subsequently, a high-pressure area is formed inside the pump, and the liquid or gas is discharged outside the pump. This process is achieved through the mechanical movement of the pump, usually through the rotation or reciprocating motion of components such as impellers, plungers, and screws.

[0004] Secondly, coal mine pumps also involve the principle of liquid or gas transportation. In coal mines, pumps are commonly used to transport substances such as water, slurry, and oil. During the pump's operation, these substances are drawn into the pump, and through the pump's mechanical action, are discharged outside, thus achieving the functions of transportation and discharge. This process requires consideration of factors such as the fluid's properties, viscosity, and density to ensure the normal operation of the pump and its transportation effectiveness.

[0005] Furthermore, the working principle of a coal mine pump is also related to its structure and operating environment. The pump's structure includes components such as the pump body, impeller, shaft, and seals; their design and assembly significantly impact the pump's performance and lifespan. The working environment in coal mines is typically harsh, requiring pumps to withstand high temperatures, high pressures, and corrosion. Therefore, the selection of materials and manufacturing processes are also crucial factors influencing the pump's operating principle.

[0006] In general, the working principle of a coal mine pump is based on fluid mechanics and mechanical motion. Through the mechanical action of the pump, it achieves the transportation and discharge of liquids or gases. In practical applications, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as the pump's pressure difference principle, the liquid or gas transportation principle, as well as the pump's structure and working environment to ensure the normal operation of the pump and its transportation effect.

[0007] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN202010926950.2 discloses a shaftless submersible axial flow electric pump comprising: an inlet section, a submersible motor section, and a guide section; the lower end of the submersible motor section is connected to the inlet section by fastening bolts, and the upper end of the submersible motor section is connected to the guide section by fastening bolts; the guide section includes a guide body and guide vanes, the guide body being a frustoconical cylinder, with guide vanes cast integrally with it on the inner wall of the frustoconical cylinder; the inlet section at the bottom of the pump is a bell-shaped cylinder.

[0008] 1. In existing shafted water pumps, electric energy drives a motor, which in turn drives a central shaft, which in turn drives an impeller, which pumps water to the appropriate location. This process results in excessive energy consumption.

[0009] 2. Existing technologies suffer from the technical problems of inconvenient disassembly of water pumps and difficulty in replacing parts;

[0010] 3. In the existing technology, water pumps have the problem that the impeller is easily entangled by large particles or debris in the water, which can cause the impeller to jam and damage the motor. Summary of the Invention

[0011] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0012] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a shaftless water pump to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art, namely, that existing water pumps are driven by electric power to drive a motor, which in turn drives a central shaft, which in turn drives an impeller, which pumps water to the appropriate location, resulting in excessive energy consumption during the conversion process; and that the water pump is inconvenient to disassemble and difficult to replace parts.

[0013] (II) Technical Solution

[0014] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a shaftless water pump, comprising: a housing, an outlet fixedly connected to the upper part of the housing, a support column fixedly connected to the lower part of the housing, and mounting columns fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing around the perimeter.

[0015] The housing contains a motor stator. The motor stator has diverging tension plates at its upper and lower ends. A fixing hole A is formed on the side of each tension plate, and a fixing hole B is formed at the center of the side of each tension plate. A fixing terminal is fitted inside fixing hole B, and a fixing terminal core is located within the fixing terminal. A bolt end is provided at the front end of the fixing terminal, and the fixing terminal itself has a perforated groove. A connecting plate is provided on the outer side of the tension plate. A through hole corresponding to fixing holes A and B is formed on the side of the connecting plate. The connecting plate is fixed to the side of the tension plate by bolts A passing through the through holes. Fixing hole B is a trapezoidal hollow column, and a fixing terminal is located within the trapezoidal hollow column. The bolt end of the fixing terminal is connected to bolt B.

[0016] The motor stator is provided with electromagnetic coils around its perimeter, and a groove A is provided above the tension plate; a groove B is provided on the outer side of the connecting plate. After the groove B engages with the mounting post, it is locked with the bolt B and the bolt end, and then force is applied to drive the fixing terminal to be fixed in the housing. The bolt B passes through the mounting hole of the housing.

[0017] When maintenance is required, the staff removes bolt B, then takes the motor stator and rotor out of the housing; after maintenance, bolt A is removed, the fixing terminal is removed and replaced, and then the motor is reinstalled.

[0018] The motor rotor is mechanically sealed to the outside of the motor stator. A strong magnetic plate is fixedly connected inside the motor rotor, and a helical impeller is fixedly connected to the outside of the motor rotor.

[0019] The invention is further configured such that a non-impact check valve is installed inside the outlet; and inlets are provided around the support column.

[0020] The present invention is further configured such that a shock-absorbing pad is provided between the tension plate and the connecting plate.

[0022] The invention is further configured such that the support column can be replaced with a pipe of the same size, and a reamer is installed at the underwater end of the pipe.

[0023] The invention is further configured such that a reamer is fitted inside the support column.

[0024] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a shaftless water pump, which has the following advantages:

[0026] 1. By fixing the spiral impeller to the outside of the motor rotor, the motor stator generates a magnetic effect after being energized, which drives the motor rotor to rotate, thereby causing the spiral impeller to rotate and forming a shaftless water pump. Electrical energy is converted into magnetic energy, and magnetic energy is converted into mechanical energy, reducing the steps of transmitting the mechanical energy of the motor through the drive shaft in existing water pumps, and solving the technical problem of excessive energy consumption during the conversion process.

[0027] 2. By setting up tension plates and connecting plates to fix the motor stator into the housing, the motor stator can be removed by removing bolt B during maintenance. After maintenance, the fixed terminals between the connecting plate and tension plate can be removed before reassembly, which solves the technical problems of inconvenient disassembly of the water pump and difficulty in replacing parts.

[0028] 3. By opening a water inlet, the problem of large particles or debris entering the water pump and causing damage to the motor can be solved. Attached Figure Description
