Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shock absorbing equipment, in particular to a shock absorber for a water pump. Background Art

[0002] In order to reduce the transmission of vibration from the water pump to the building during operation, a vibration absorber is often installed at the bottom of the water pump to reduce the transmission of vibration through compressed metal springs and rubber layers.

[0003] A flexible joint is usually installed on the outlet pipe of the water pump for vibration isolation. When the flexible joint is installed vertically on the vertical riser, during the operation of the water pump, the pipes at both ends of the flexible joint will generate a large reaction force under the action of water pressure, and the reaction force will act on the water pump, causing the shock absorber spring under the water pump to be compressed. If the stiffness of the shock absorber spring is insufficient, the shock absorber spring will be over-compressed or even compacted to lose its shock-absorbing effect; at the same time, since the shock absorber spring will be over-compressed and the length of the flexible joint will be stretched, the flexible joint may be over-stretched and damaged. When the water pump is shut down, the reaction force of the pipes at both ends of the flexible joint disappears, and the water pump rises under the action of the spring force, squeezing the flexible joint, which is at risk of damage.

[0004] In addition, in some cases, the outlet pressure of the water pump will be set to operate alternately under multiple pressure conditions. For example, when the terminal water-using equipment of the water pump is in standby mode at night, the water pump only needs to provide an outlet pressure of 0.3MPa; when the terminal water-using equipment of the water pump is in production mode during the day, the water pump needs to provide an outlet pressure of 0.5MPa. Different outlet pressures bring different pipeline water pressure reaction forces, and also make the spring shock absorber at the bottom of the water pump subject to different compression forces.
