Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of slurry pump volute technology, specifically a slurry pump volute with a novel silicon carbide-based composite material. Background Technology
[0002] Slurry pumps are special industrial pumps designed for conveying high-concentration, high-hardness, and highly corrosive solid-liquid mixtures. Their core components are made of wear-resistant alloys or rubber. By optimizing the structural design of the impeller, wear plates, and flow-through components, the wear and corrosion of the pump body by the medium are effectively reduced. At the same time, they have the characteristics of high efficiency and energy saving, stable operation, and convenient maintenance. They are widely used in mining, metallurgy, power, coal, chemical and other fields, and are key equipment in solid-liquid conveying systems to achieve continuous operation, extend equipment life, and reduce operating costs.
[0003] The volute of a slurry pump is one of the core components of the pump. Its core function is to efficiently convert the kinetic energy generated by the impeller rotation into static pressure energy through the flow channel design, while optimizing the slurry flow path to reduce energy loss and turbulence. The volute of a slurry pump consists of a front casing and a rear casing, which are connected by bolts. A sealing ring is installed between the front and rear casings to ensure sealing. However, this design makes the sealing ring easily come into contact with the slurry, which can lead to damage over time and affect the sealing effect. Furthermore, replacing or repairing the sealing ring requires disconnecting the connection between the front and rear casings, which is quite troublesome. Therefore, improvements are needed.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a mounting block is fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the fixing plate, an adjusting bolt is threaded into the internal thread of the mounting block, and a circular plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting bolt.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a fixing frame is movably fitted onto the outer surface of the adjusting bolt, the right side of the fixing frame is movably connected to the outer surface of the rubber sleeve, and a rectangular block is movably fitted inside the fixing frame, the right end of the rectangular block being fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rubber sleeve.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an output pipe is fixedly installed on the left side of the outer surface of both the front housing and the rear housing, and a first flange is fixedly connected to the top of the output pipe.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an input pipe is fixedly connected to the front of the front housing, and a second flange is fixedly installed on the front of the input pipe.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, reinforcing ribs are fixedly installed on the inner surfaces of both the front and rear shells, and an external slag discharge hole is provided at the bottom of the inner surface of the rear shell.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a protective sleeve is movably connected between the front housing and the rear housing, and an inner slag discharge hole is provided at the bottom of the inner surface of the protective sleeve.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an outer sealing plug is movably sleeved inside the outer slag discharge hole, a connecting column is fixedly connected to the inner end of the outer sealing plug, an inner sealing plug is fixedly connected to the inner end of the connecting column, and the outer surface of the inner sealing plug is movably sleeved with the inner surface of the inner slag discharge hole.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a fixing sleeve is fixedly installed at the bottom of the back side of the rear housing, a movable plate is movably sleeved inside the fixing sleeve, a tightening bolt is threaded inside the movable plate, and the inner end of the tightening bolt is movably connected to the outer surface of the outer sealing plug.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixed sleeve, a pull rod is movably sleeved inside the mounting bracket, an insert rod is fixedly connected to the inner end of the pull rod, the inner end of the insert rod extends into the interior of the movable plate and movably sleeves with the inner wall of the movable plate, a spring is fixedly connected to the outer end of the insert rod, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the mounting bracket.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0016] 1. This invention, by setting a front frame, a rear frame, a sealing strip, and a rubber sleeve, achieves a sealing effect between the front and rear housings due to the design of the sealing strip. Furthermore, since the sealing strip is located on the outside of the front and rear housings, it facilitates maintenance and replacement by operators. Operators only need to rotate the nut to disengage it from the outer surface of the screw, thereby releasing the fixing of the connecting block. Then, by disassembling the bolts connecting the fixing plate to the rear frame, the fixing plate can be removed outwards, causing the rectangular block to detach from the interior of the fixing frame. This releases the fixing of the sealing strip and the rubber sleeve, allowing for replacement and maintenance of the sealing strip.
[0017] 2. This invention, by setting up an installation block, adjusting bolts, a fixing frame, and a rectangular block, allows the operator to first fix the connecting block when installing the sealing strip and rubber sleeve. Then, by rotating the adjusting bolts, the adjusting bolts move upward inside the installation block, thereby causing the fixing frame to rise. This causes the fixing frame to move the sealing strip and rubber sleeve through the rectangular block, making the sealing strip and rubber sleeve taut and ensuring that the sealing strip is tightly attached to the outer surface of the front and rear frame, thus improving the sealing effect of the sealing strip.
[0018] 3. By setting an outer sealing plug, an inner sealing plug, a movable plate, and a clamping bolt, when large-volume particles deposited inside the rear housing and sheath need to be discharged, the clamping bolt can be rotated to release the pressure on the outer sealing plug, and then the pull rod can be pulled upwards to cause the pull rod to drive the insert rod away from the inside of the movable plate, thereby releasing the fixing effect on the movable plate. At this time, the movable plate can be pulled out of the inside of the fixed sleeve, and then the outer sealing plug, connecting column, and inner sealing plug can be pulled out, so that the large-volume particles can be discharged through the inner slag discharge hole and the outer slag discharge hole.

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 14As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a slurry pump volute with a novel silicon carbide-based composite material, including a front housing 1, a rear housing 2 movably connected to the back of the front housing 1, a front frame 3 fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the front housing 1, a rear frame 4 fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rear housing 2, the front frame 3 and the rear frame 4 being movably connected, and sealing strips 5 being movably connected to the outer surfaces of both the front frame 3 and the rear frame 4, a rubber sleeve 6 fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the sealing strip 5, and a connecting block 7 fixedly connected to the top of the rubber sleeve 6, the inner surface of the connecting block 7 being... A screw 8 is movably sleeved on the rear frame 4. The bottom end of the screw 8 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rear frame 4. The bottom of the screw 8 is movably connected to the outer surface of the front frame 3. A washer 9 located above the connecting block 7 is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the screw 8. A nut 10 is threaded onto the outer surface of the screw 8. A fixing plate 11 is fixedly connected to the left side of the back of the rear frame 4. A clamping bolt 12 is threaded onto the inside of the fixing plate 11. The right end of the clamping bolt 12 is movably connected to the outer surface of the rubber sleeve 6. Bolt holes 13 are opened inside both the front frame 3 and the rear frame 4.
[0036] Operators can use bolts to insert into the bolt holes 13 to fix the front frame 3 and the rear frame 4 together, thereby completing the fixation between the front housing 1 and the rear housing 2. Due to the design of the sealing strip 5, the sealing strip 5 can be tightly attached to the outer surface of the front frame 3 and the rear frame 4, thereby sealing the front frame 3 and the rear frame 4 and improving the sealing performance between the front housing 1 and the rear housing 2. Operators can also tighten the connecting block 7 by rotating the nut 10 and tighten the rubber sleeve 6 by rotating the clamping bolt 12, thereby fixing the sealing strip 5 and the rubber sleeve 6 at both ends. The fixing plate 11 is fixed to the back of the rear frame 4 with bolts, which facilitates the installation and removal of the fixing plate 11 by the operator.
[0037] Among them, a mounting block 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the fixing plate 11, and an adjusting bolt 15 is threaded inside the mounting block 14. A circular plate 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting bolt 15.
[0038] The operator can rotate the adjusting bolt 15, which will cause the adjusting bolt 15 to move up or down inside the mounting block 14.
[0039] Among them, the outer surface of the adjusting bolt 15 is movably sleeved with a fixing frame 17, the right side of the fixing frame 17 is movably connected to the outer surface of the rubber sleeve 6, and the inside of the fixing frame 17 is movably sleeved with a rectangular block 36, the right end of the rectangular block 36 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rubber sleeve 6.
[0040] The operator rotates the adjusting bolt 15, causing the adjusting bolt 15 to move upward inside the mounting block 14, which in turn drives the fixing frame 17 to move upward, causing the fixing frame 17 to drive the rectangular block 36 to move upward, so that the rubber jacket 6 and the sealing strip 5 can be tightened and tightly attached to the outer surface of the front frame 3 and the rear frame 4.
[0041] The front housing 1 and the rear housing 2 are both fixedly installed with output pipes 18 on the left side of their outer surfaces, and the top of the output pipes 18 is fixedly connected with a first flange 19.
[0042] By setting up the output pipe 18 and the first flange 19, the operator can connect the water outlet pipe to the first flange 19 by bolts.
[0043] The front housing 1 is fixedly connected to the input pipe 20, and the input pipe 20 is fixedly mounted to the front of the second flange 21.
[0044] By setting up an inlet pipe 20 and a second flange 21, the operator can connect the inlet pipe to the second flange 21 with bolts.
[0045] The inner surfaces of both the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2 are fixedly equipped with reinforcing ribs 22, and the bottom of the inner surface of the rear shell 2 is provided with an external slag discharge hole 23.
[0046] By setting the external slag discharge hole 23, large particles that have settled inside the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2 can be discharged through the external slag discharge hole 23.
[0047] Among them, a protective sleeve 24 is movably connected between the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2, and an inner slag discharge hole 25 is opened at the bottom of the inner surface of the protective sleeve 24.
[0048] The front housing 1, the rear housing 2, and the sheath 24 are all made of silicon carbide-based composite material, which has high strength, high temperature stability, and chemical stability. The design of the sheath 24 can protect the front housing 1 and the rear housing 2, reducing the impact of slurry and the friction of particles on the front housing 1 and the rear housing 2.
[0049] Among them, an outer sealing plug 26 is movably sleeved inside the outer slag discharge hole 23, a connecting column 27 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the outer sealing plug 26, an inner sealing plug 28 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the connecting column 27, and the outer surface of the inner sealing plug 28 is movably sleeved with the inner surface of the inner slag discharge hole 25.
[0050] By setting the outer sealing plug 26 and the inner sealing plug 28, the outer slag discharge hole 23 and the inner slag discharge hole 25 can be sealed, and it is convenient for operators to discharge large-volume particles.
[0051] Among them, a fixed sleeve 29 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the back of the rear housing 2. A movable plate 30 is movably sleeved inside the fixed sleeve 29. A tightening bolt 31 is threaded inside the movable plate 30. The inner end of the tightening bolt 31 is movably connected to the outer surface of the outer sealing plug 26.
[0052] By setting the clamping bolt 31, the clamping bolt 31 can abut against the outer sealing plug 26 after being tightened, thereby making the outer sealing plug 26 and the inner sealing plug 28 stably installed inside the outer slag discharge hole 23 and the inner slag discharge hole 25.
[0053] The mounting bracket 32 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixed sleeve 29. A pull rod 33 is movably sleeved inside the mounting bracket 32. An insert rod 34 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the pull rod 33. The inner end of the insert rod 34 extends into the interior of the movable plate 30 and is movably sleeved with the inner wall of the movable plate 30. A spring 35 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the insert rod 34. The other end of the spring 35 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the mounting bracket 32.
[0054] The operator can pull the lever 33 outward to cause the lever 33 to drive the insert 34 out of the interior of the movable plate 30, thereby releasing the fixing effect on the movable plate 30.
[0055] Working principle and usage process:
[0056] The operator merges the front housing 1 and the rear housing 2 together. By aligning the bolt holes 13 inside the front frame 3 and the rear frame 4, bolts can be used to connect the front housing 1 and the rear housing 2, and the front frame 3 and the rear frame 4 together. Then, the operator puts the connecting block 7 on the outer surface of the screw 8 and rotates the nut 10 to press and fix the connecting block 7. Then, the operator uses bolts to install the fixing plate 11 on the back of the rear frame 4, so that the fixing frame 17 is put on the outer surface of the rectangular block 36. Then, by rotating the adjusting bolt 15, the adjusting bolt 15 moves upward inside the mounting block 14, which in turn drives the fixing frame 17 to rise through the circular plate 16. This causes the fixing frame 17 to move the sealing strip 5 and the rubber sleeve 6 through the rectangular block 36, so that the sealing strip 5 and the rubber sleeve 6 are tightened and the sealing strip 5 is tightly attached to the outer surface of the front frame 3 and the rear frame 4. At this time, the operator can rotate the clamping bolt 12 to press the sealing strip 5 and the rubber sleeve 6, thus completing the installation of the sealing strip 5 and the rubber sleeve 6.
[0057] When it is necessary to discharge large-volume particles deposited at the bottom of the inner cavity of the sheath 24 and the rear housing 2, the clamping bolt 31 can be rotated to remove it from the interior of the movable plate 30, thereby releasing the pressure and fixation of the outer sealing plug 26. Then, the pull rod 33 is pulled upward, causing the pull rod 33 to drive the insertion rod 34 away from the interior of the movable plate 30, thereby releasing the fixing effect on the movable plate 30. This allows the movable plate 30 to be pulled out of the interior of the fixed sleeve 29. At this time, the operator can pull out the outer sealing plug 26, the connecting column 27 and the inner sealing plug 28, so that the large-volume particles can be discharged through the inner slag discharge hole 25 and the outer slag discharge hole 23.
[0058] After the large particles are discharged, the outer sealing plug 26 and the inner sealing plug 28 are inserted into the outer slag discharge hole 23 and the inner slag discharge hole 25 again. Then, the movable plate 30 is inserted into the fixed sleeve 29, so that the insert rod 34 is inserted into the movable plate 30, thereby fixing the movable plate 30. Then, the tightening bolt 31 is rotated so that the inner end of the tightening bolt 31 abuts against the outer surface of the outer sealing plug 26, thereby fixing the outer sealing plug 26 and the inner sealing plug 28, so that the outer sealing plug 26 and the inner sealing plug 28 can resist the impact of the slurry.
