Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a slurry pump capable of preventing impeller loosening, and belongs to the technical field of water conservancy machinery. BACKGROUND

[0002] The reliability of the pump is required to be high in the production process of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and the shutdown caused by the loosening or falling of the impeller of the pump will seriously affect the industrial production. When the HDPE slurry circulating pump transports materials, the materials are prone to "material aggregation" and "wire drawing" in the pump body, which affects the subsequent production process and makes the user system unable to operate normally, which may cause great economic loss to the user. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application aims to provide a slurry pump capable of preventing impeller loosening.

[0004] The present application is achieved by the following technical scheme:

[0005] The slurry pump capable of preventing impeller loosening comprises a pump shaft, an impeller positioned on the side wall of the pump shaft through a key sleeve, an impeller nut screw-connected to the front end side wall of the pump shaft, and an impeller cover.

[0006] The front end side wall of the pump shaft is processed with an annular connecting groove with external threads, and a group of circumferentially distributed screw connection holes are processed on the rear end step surface of the annular connecting groove.

[0007] The inner hole of the impeller nut is processed with internal threads matched with the annular connecting groove of the front end side wall of the pump shaft, and a group of circumferentially distributed screw passing grooves are processed on the outer wall of the impeller nut.

[0008] The impeller nut is screw-connected to the rear section of the annular connecting groove of the pump shaft, the rear end outer edge of the impeller nut is pressed against the front end port portion of the impeller, the impeller is axially positioned forward, and the impeller cover is screw-connected to the front section of the annular connecting groove of the pump shaft and axially presses the impeller nut.

[0009] The number of screw connection holes on the rear end step surface of the annular connecting groove of the pump shaft is N, the number of screw passing grooves on the outer wall of the impeller nut is N+1, the impeller nut is screw-rotated to any circumferential position on the annular connecting groove of the pump shaft, at least one set of screw passing grooves on the outer wall of the impeller nut is aligned with the screw connection holes on the rear end step surface of the annular connecting groove of the pump shaft, a screw is installed at the aligned screw passing groove and screw connection hole, and the impeller nut is circumferentially locked relative to the pump shaft.

[0010] The butt joint surface of the impeller cover and the impeller adopts a stepped structure for butt joint, and a sealing ring is installed in the groove at the butt joint surface.

[0011] The side wall of the impeller cover, where it connects with the front end of the impeller, has a conical structure.

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] The slurry pump of the present invention uses screws to lock the impeller nut relative to the impeller circumference, thus preventing the impeller nut from loosening due to vibration; by designing the side wall of the impeller cover and the front end of the impeller into a conical structure, the inlet liquid flow of the pump is made more uniform and stable; the conical design can effectively prevent the material from "accumulating" and "stringing" inside the pump body during material transportation, ensuring the continuous operation of the pump.
