[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 8 An embodiment of the present invention provides a technical solution: a fire pump convenient for cleaning and maintenance, including a base 1 and a motor 2 fixedly connected to the base 1. There are two pump housings 3 provided at the output end of the motor 2. A second main pipe 8 and a first branch pipe 4 are provided on the outer wall of the pump housing 3.

[0035] And a flow stabilizing mechanism 7 capable of stabilizing the pumping rate of water. The flow stabilizing mechanism 7 is arranged in the anti-blocking mechanism 6.

[0036] Specifically, through the cooperation of the rotating ring 61 and the counterweight 64, when placed normally, the rotating ring 61 drives the sliding ring 71 and the wiper blade 611 to rotate, so that the wiper blade 611 scrapes the filter collar 65, realizing the function of automatically cleaning the blockage. And non-Newtonian fluid will hinder the rapid movement of the moving plate 74, so that the rotating ring 61 can only rotate slowly, preventing the rotating ring 61 and the wiper blade 611 from rotating rapidly, and the wiper blade 611 stirs in the water flow to form turbulence, affecting the pumping efficiency. And it is convenient to disassemble and can enhance the locking effect at the same time. After the whole device is turned 180 degrees, the insertion block 53 can be separated from the notch 51, and the two pump housings 3 can be quickly separated without loosening each bolt step by step, improving the efficiency of maintenance and cleaning.

[0037] In yet another embodiment provided by the present invention, the locking mechanism 5 includes a notch 51 formed in one of the pump housings 3. A fixing block 52 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the notch 51. An insertion block 53 abuts against the upper end of the fixing block 52.

[0038] A plurality of notches 51 are formed.

[0039] Specifically, after the entire device is flipped 180 degrees, the insertion block 53 can be disengaged from the notch 51, and the two pump housings 3 can be quickly separated without loosening each bolt step by step, improving the efficiency of maintenance and cleaning.

[0040] In yet another embodiment provided by the present invention, the anti-blocking mechanism 6 includes a rotating ring 61 rotatably provided at the opposite ends of the first branch pipe 4 and the second main pipe 8. An air cavity 62 is formed in one of the pump housings 3. The air cavity 62 is communicated with the notch 51. One end of the air cavity 62 is communicated with a hose 63. The other end of the hose 63 is communicated with a telescopic airbag 69. One end of the telescopic airbag 69 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the rotating ring 61. Arc springs 610 are fixedly connected to both ends of the inner cavity of the telescopic airbag 69. One end of the second main pipe 8 is rotatably provided in the inner cavity of the rotating ring 61. The end of the second main pipe 8 extending into the inner cavity of the rotating ring 61 abuts against the telescopic airbag 69. A counterweight block 64 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom end of the rotating ring 61. A sliding frame 66 is horizontally slidably provided in the first branch pipe 4. The upper and lower ends of the sliding frame 66 respectively extend to the outside and the inner cavity of the first branch pipe 4. A squeezing rod 67 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the upper end of the sliding frame 66 close to the rotating ring 61. One end of the squeezing rod 67 away from the sliding frame 66 abuts against an inclined slider 68, and the inclined slider 68 is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 61. A filter sleeve ring 65 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second main pipe 8. A filter screen is arranged on the inner wall of the filter sleeve ring 65. A sliding ring 71 is horizontally slidably provided on the inner wall of the rotating ring 61. A scraping blade 611 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding ring 71.

[0041] An arc-shaped inclined surface is formed at one end of the inclined slider 68 close to the squeezing rod 67.

[0042] One end of the telescopic airbag 69 away from the second main pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 61, and the other end of the telescopic airbag 69 abuts against the second main pipe 8.

[0043] Specifically, through the cooperation of the rotating ring 61 and the counterweight block 64, when placed normally, the rotating ring 61 drives the sliding ring 71 and the scraping blade 611 to rotate, so that the scraping blade 611 scrapes the filter sleeve ring 65, realizing the function of automatically cleaning the blockage.

[0044] In yet another embodiment provided by the present invention, the flow stabilizing mechanism 7 includes a chute 72 formed in the first branch pipe 4. A moving plate 74 is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 66, and the moving plate 74 is movably arranged in the chute 72. Scale lines 73 are provided on the inner wall of the chute 72. A non-Newtonian fluid is provided in the chute 72, and the sliding cavity where the sliding ring 71 is located is communicated with the inner cavity of the expansion airbag 69.

[0045] The horizontal plane of the non-Newtonian fluid is flush with the scale line 73.

[0046] Specifically, the non-Newtonian fluid will hinder the rapid movement of the moving plate 74, so that the rotating ring 61 can only rotate slowly, preventing the scraping blade 611 from stirring in the water flow to form turbulence when the rotating ring 61 and the scraping blade 611 rotate rapidly, affecting the pumping efficiency, and it is convenient to disassemble and can enhance the locking effect at the same time.

[0047] Working principle: When using this device, connect the first branch pipe 4 to other pipes, and then turn on the motor 2 to drive the fan blades in the pump housing 3 to rotate for suction. The first branch pipe 4 and the liquid inlet of the second main pipe 8. When the filter screen is blocked, the flow rate will slow down, and the force received by the bottom end of the sliding frame 66 towards the rotating ring 61 will decrease, so that the extrusion force of the extrusion rod 67 on the inclined slider 68 will decrease. Under the action of the gravity of the counterweight 64, the counterweight 64 and the rotating ring 61 will rotate until the counterweight 64 is at the lower side, so that the rotating ring 61 drives the sliding ring 71 and the scraping blade 611 to rotate, so that the scraping blade 611 scrapes the filter sleeve 65 to achieve the function of automatically cleaning the blockage. When the water flow increases, the extrusion rod 67 extrudes the inclined slider 68, causing the counterweight 64 to rotate from directly below;

[0048] After that, if it is necessary to disassemble the two pump housings 3 for cleaning or maintenance, after turning off the motor 2, directly turn the entire device 180 degrees. At this time, the counterweight 64 will flip upward, causing the counterweight 64 to automatically rotate under the action of gravity. When the rotating ring 61 rotates accordingly, the end of the second main pipe 8 located in the rotating ring 61 will move away from the expansion airbag 69. The expansion airbag 69 expands and restores under the elastic force of the arc spring 610, and the lifting block 54 in the pump housing 3 will also disengage from the insertion block 53 and the fixed block 52, so that the insertion block 53 can disengage from the notch 51, and the two pump housings 3 can be quickly separated without loosening each bolt step by step, improving the efficiency of maintenance and cleaning;

[0049] When the water flow rate suddenly slows down, the counterweight 64 will suddenly rotate. At this time, the inclined slider 68 will squeeze the extrusion rod 67, causing the sliding frame 66 to move away from the rotating ring 61. However, at this time, the moving plate 74 will move in the non-Newtonian fluid placed in the chute 72, and the non-Newtonian fluid will hinder the rapid movement of the moving plate 74, so that the rotating ring 61 can only rotate slowly, preventing the rotating ring 61 and the scraping blade 611 from stirring in the water flow to form turbulence and affecting the pumping efficiency;

[0050] And after the two pump housings 3 are installed and placed, the counterweight 64 drives the rotating ring 61 to rotate, and the main pipe two 8 will squeeze the telescopic airbag 69. Thus, the gas in the telescopic airbag 69 will enter the notch 51 on the upper side of the lifting block 54 through the hose 63 and the air cavity 62, so that the gas can squeeze the notch 51 downward, preventing the lifting block 54 from moving upward due to vibration during the operation of the pump. This makes the disassembly convenient and can enhance the locking effect at the same time. Moreover, when the telescopic airbag 69 is squeezed, the gas in the telescopic airbag 69 will squeeze the sliding ring 71, thereby squeezing the sliding ring 71 towards the filter screen, further increasing the pressure and improving the effect of subsequent cleaning of the filter screen.

[0051] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. The descriptions in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrate the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed. The scope of the present invention claimed is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
