It is mainly responsible for driving the coolant to circulate in the system to remove the heat generated by the engine during operation and ensure that the engine operates within the optimal temperature range. In order to meet the requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection, the car water pump uses an energy-saving electric motor to power it. The car water pump drives the liquid to flow through the rotation of the impeller. The impeller is mounted on the shaft, and its installation and removal are relatively troublesome. Moreover, after the impeller has been used for a long time, it is difficult to remove it from the shaft, which requires a lot of time. The installation and removal of the impeller cannot be synchronized with the installation and removal of the water pump cover to achieve convenient installation and removal of the impeller.

The support plug rod 44 cooperates with the driving link 7 to push the driving link 7 to move. A sealing cooperation ring 43 is fixedly arranged on the periphery of the support plug rod 44. The sealing cooperation ring 43 can seal the sealing pump sleeve 3. That is, when the sealing cooperation ring 43 seals the sealing pump sleeve 3, it is inserted into the sealing slot 35. Bearing cooperation plates 41 are symmetrically and fixedly arranged on both sides of the operating ring 4. The bearing cooperation plates 41 are provided with cooperation bearing holes 42. The support plug rod 44 is inserted into the connecting through hole 34. A bearing bottom plate 45 is fixedly arranged on the support plug rod 44. The bearing bottom plate 45 is provided with a guide cooperation hole 46 extending to the support plug rod 44. When the sealing pump sleeve 3 is installed on the water pump body 2, a guide cooperation rod 292 is inserted into the guide cooperation hole 46. A driving carrier 47 is fixedly arranged on the bearing bottom plate 45. Driving carrier wheels 471 are installed on the driving carrier 47. The driving carrier wheels 471 are in contact with the driving link 7. A cooperation bearing plate 48 is also fixedly arranged on the bearing bottom plate 45. Cooperation link carriers 481 are fixedly arranged on the cooperation bearing plate 48. The cooperation link carriers 481 are provided with inclined shift channels 49.

[0042] As shown in the figure, Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The self-locking assembly includes a movable lock block 5 and a cooperation carrier column 6. The movable lock block 5 locks the operating ring 4. The cooperation carrier column 6 moves under the driving of the operating ring 4 and cooperates with the water pump body 2 to fix the sealing pump sleeve 3. A movable lock rod 51 is fixedly arranged on the movable lock block 5. The movable lock rod 51 is inserted into the cooperation bearing hole 42. A connecting spring 52 is sleeved on the movable lock rod 51. The two ends of the connecting spring 52 are fixedly arranged on the movable lock block 5 and the bearing cooperation plate 41 respectively. When the movable lock rod 51 fixes the operating ring 4, it is inserted into the lock position insertion hole 33. The cooperation carrier column 6 is inserted into the support through hole 37. One end of the cooperation carrier column 6 is symmetrically and fixedly provided with a connecting channel column 61. The connecting channel column 61 is inserted into the inclined shift channel 49 and in contact with the inner wall of the inclined shift channel 49. The other end of the cooperation carrier column 6 is fixedly provided with a lock plate body 62. The lock plate body 62 is fixedly provided with a lock insertion column 63. When the lock insertion column 63 fixes the sealing pump sleeve 3, it is inserted into the interlocking carrier hole 291.

[0043] When the impeller body 1 is positioned on the rotating shaft 22 by the cooperation of the support column 12 and the assembly hole 26 during the installation of the impeller body 1, the close cooperation between the impeller body 1 and the rotating shaft 22 can be avoided, and after the impeller body 1 is positioned, the sealing pump sleeve 3 can be installed on the water pump body 2. During the installation, the guide fitting hole 46 is sleeved on the guide fitting rod 292 to limit the sealing pump sleeve 3, and the movable locking rod 51 is abutted on the cooperating connecting plate 32, and the connecting spring 52 is in a stretched state at this time. After the sealing pump sleeve 3 is installed, the operating ring 4 can be pushed to move, so that the driving carrier wheel 471 on the operating ring 4 is in contact with the driving connecting ring 7. Thus, under the action of the driving carrier wheel 471, the driving connecting ring 7 is pushed to move away from the installation carrier disc 23 until the movable locking rod 51 is aligned with the locking hole 33. At this time, under the action of the connecting spring 52, the movable locking rod 51 is inserted into the locking hole 33, so that the operating ring 4 is fixed. In this process, with the movement of the driving connecting ring 7, the cooperating sleeve plate 73 is also moved, and under the action of the cooperating sleeve plate 73, negative pressure can be generated in the hollow sleeve 27 to generate a back pulling force on the driving connecting ring 7, so that the driving connecting ring 7 is conveniently reset when the impeller body 1 is disassembled. With the movement of the driving connecting ring 7, the auxiliary locking plate 8 is also moved under the action of the connecting hinge 74, so that the auxiliary locking column 81 on the auxiliary locking plate 8 is inserted into the auxiliary channel 11, and the impeller body 1 is auxiliary locked. In addition, the auxiliary locking column 81 can adjust the position of the impeller body 1 during the insertion process to ensure the accuracy of the installation position. In addition, when the auxiliary locking plate 8 moves, the receiving plate 94 is moved, and the rotating ring 9 is rotated under the action of the receiving plate 94. With the rotation of the rotating ring 9, the installation locking ring 91 on the rotating ring 9 is rotated and inserted into the limiting ring groove 13, so that the impeller body 1 is fixed and stably installed. Through the contact between the driving carrier wheel 471 and the driving connecting ring 7, the rotating shaft 22 will not be affected when it rotates. When the operating ring 4 moves, the cooperating carrier column 6 is also moved under the cooperation of the inclined movement channel 49 and the connecting channel column 61, so that the locking column 63 on the cooperating carrier column 6 is inserted into the interlocking carrier hole 291 on the water pump body 2. Through the cooperation of the locking column 63 and the interlocking carrier hole 291, the sealing pump sleeve 3 is fixed. The entire installation process of the impeller body 1 is very convenient and fast, and the fixation of the impeller body 1 and the fixation of the sealing pump sleeve 3 can be synchronized, achieving two goals at once, greatly improving the work efficiency of the installation of the impeller body 1 and facilitating the work of the staff. In addition, when the impeller body 1 is disassembled, the operating ring 4 is in an unlocked state by pulling the movable locking block 5 to make the movable locking rod 51 on the movable locking block 5 exit the locking hole 33. Thus, under the action of negative pressure, the driving connecting ring 7 is pulled to reset, and the operating ring 4 is pushed to reset under the action of the driving connecting ring 7.With the reset of the operating ring 4, the matching carrier column 6 will be reset, so that the sealing pump cover 3 is in the unlocked state, and with the reset of the driving link 7, the auxiliary lock plate 8 will also be reset, and then the auxiliary lock column 81 will exit the auxiliary channel 11, and the reset of the auxiliary lock plate 8 will also drive the rotary ring 9 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the mounting lock ring 91 on the rotary ring 9 exits the limiting ring groove 13, so that the impeller body 1 is in the unlocked state, and the impeller body 1 can be quickly disassembled, which is simple and fast.
