[0016] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0017] 1. In the present application, by setting a filter screen, when the pump is used to generate electricity, the water inlet pipe is first connected to the high potential energy power generation water flow. At this time, the water flows into the filter cartridge through the water inlet pipe, and then passes through the filter screen to the flow regulating cartridge, and then enters the volute through the water inlet pipe to drive the impeller to rotate and is discharged from the water outlet pipe to complete the power generation work. In this process, if the water flow contains larger stones and other debris, they will be blocked and gathered by the filter screen, and under the influence of their own weight, they will fall into the slag collecting box along the slag discharge barrel to prevent larger stones and debris from entering the volute and causing damage to the pump.

After cleaning, the sealing cover is reinstalled into the bottom of the slag box. At this time, the wedge rod is inserted into the slot. Since the relative ends of the wedge rod and the locking block are both inclined, the wedge rod first abuts the locking block to compress the reset spring to move outward until the sealing cover is completely fitted with the bottom of the slag box. At this time, the locking block will encounter the slot and be snapped into the slot under the rebound of the reset spring, thereby firmly fixing the sealing cover to the bottom of the slag box. This design is convenient for cleaning the stone and debris filtered into the slag box.

[0019] 3. In the present application, a flow regulating tube with dense liquid inlet holes on the outer wall is provided. When it is necessary to adjust the water flow entering the volute for power generation, the driving motor is started to drive the screw to rotate, and then the slider can be controlled to move left and right. When the slider drives the flow regulating tube to move to the left, the number of liquid inlet holes on the outer wall of the flow regulating tube located in the flow regulating tube will increase, so that the water flow in the flow regulating tube can enter the volute on the rear side of the water inlet pipe through the liquid inlet holes on the flow regulating tube faster. Conversely, when the flow regulating tube moves to the right, the number of liquid inlet holes in the flow regulating tube is reduced, so that the water flow in the flow regulating tube is decelerated when passing through the flow regulating tube, thereby achieving the function of regulating the flow through this design.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 , 2 , an automatic pump flow regulating device, comprising a base plate 1, a water turbine 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1, a volute 3 is fixedly installed on the end of the water turbine 2, an impeller fixedly connected to the output shaft of the water turbine 2 is rotatably installed in the volute 3, an inlet pipe 4 and an outlet pipe 5 are fixedly connected on both sides of the volute 3, a flow regulating cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the left side of the water inlet pipe 4, a filter cartridge 7 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the flow regulating cylinder 6, the filter cartridge 7 and the flow regulating cylinder 6 are designed to be connected to each other, a filter screen 8 is fixedly installed at the connecting position of the filter cartridge 7 and the flow regulating cylinder 6, a water receiving pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the left side of the filter cartridge 7, a slag discharge cylinder 10 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the filter cartridge 7, the slag discharge cylinder 10 is a structural design with the left end tilted downward, a slag collecting box 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slag discharge cylinder 10, and a sealing cover 12 is spliced ​​at the bottom of the slag collecting box 11.

[0026] By setting the filter screen 8, when using the present pump to generate electricity, the water inlet pipe 9 is first connected to the high potential energy generating water flow. At this time, the water flows into the filter cartridge 7 through the water inlet pipe 9, and then passes through the filter screen 8 to come into the flow regulating cartridge 6, and then enters the volute 3 through the water inlet pipe 4 to drive the impeller to rotate and is discharged from the water outlet pipe 5 to complete the power generation work. In this process, if the water flow contains larger stones and other debris, they will be blocked and gathered by the filter screen 8, and under the influence of their own weight, they will fall into the slag collecting box 11 along the slag discharge tube 10 to be gathered, so as to prevent larger stones and debris from entering the volute 3 and causing the pump to be stuck and damaged.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , 23. The joint surfaces of the slag box 11 and the sealing cover 12 are provided with sealing rings 13. The four ends of the top of the sealing cover 12 are fixedly installed with wedge rods 14 inserted into the inside of the slag box 11. The four ends of the bottom of the slag box 11 are provided with slots 15 adapted to the wedge rods 14. A locking block 16 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the slag box 11 relative to the outer side of the plug-in end of the wedge rod 14, and the locking block 16 is snap-fitted to the outer surface of the wedge rod 14. A sliding groove adapted to the locking block 16 is provided on the outer wall of the slag box 11. A return spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the locking block 16. The opposite ends of the wedge rod 14 and the locking block 16 are of inclined structural design. A card slot 17 is provided on the outer side of the wedge rod 14, and the locking block 16 is snap-fitted in the card slot 17. A pull rod 18 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the locking block 16.

[0028] By splicing the sealing cover 12 at the bottom of the slag box 11, when power generation is finished and a large amount of stones and debris with too large particle sizes are collected in the slag box 11 and need to be cleaned, the staff can first pull the pull rod 18 outward to drive the locking block 16 to be pulled out of the slot 17 on the wedge rod 14, release the locking state of the wedge rod 14, and then remove the sealing cover 12 downward to clean the slag box 11. After cleaning, the sealing cover 12 is reinstalled into the bottom of the slag box 11. At this time, the wedge rod 14 is inserted into the slot 15. Since the opposite ends of the wedge rod 14 and the locking block 16 are inclined, the wedge rod 14 first abuts the locking block 16 to compress the return spring to move outward until the sealing cover 12 is completely fitted with the bottom of the slag collecting box 11. At this time, the locking block 16 will encounter the slot 17 and be snapped into the slot 17 under the rebound of the return spring, thereby firmly fixing the sealing cover 12 to the bottom of the slag collecting box 11. This design is convenient for cleaning the stones and debris filtered into the slag collecting box 11.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , 2 A flow regulating tube 19 is slidably installed on the right side of the inner cavity of the flow regulating tube 6, and a densely distributed liquid inlet holes 20 are opened on the outer wall of the flow regulating tube 19. A perforation that fits closely with the outer wall of the flow regulating tube 19 is opened on the right side of the inner cavity of the flow regulating tube 6, and the perforation is connected with the water inlet pipe 4. The left end of the flow regulating tube 19 is a closed structure, and the right end of the flow regulating tube 19 is an open structure connected with the liquid inlet hole 20. A track plate 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the flow regulating tube 6, and a slider 22 is slidably installed in the track plate 21, and the bottom of the slider 22 is fixedly connected to the left end of the flow regulating tube 19, and a moving groove adapted to the slider 22 is opened in the track plate 21, and a screw rod 23 is threadedly connected to the slider 22, and a driving motor whose output shaft is fixed to the screw rod 23 is fixedly installed on the right end of the track plate 21.

[0030] By setting a regulating tube 19 with dense liquid inlet holes 20 on the outer wall, when it is necessary to adjust the water flow entering the volute 3 for power generation, the driving motor is started to drive the screw 23 to rotate, and then the slider 22 can be controlled to move left and right. When the slider 22 drives the regulating tube 19 to move to the left, the number of liquid inlet holes 20 located in the regulating tube 6 on the outer wall of the regulating tube 19 will increase, so that the water flow in the regulating tube 6 can enter the volute 3 on the rear side of the water inlet pipe 4 faster through the liquid inlet holes 20 on the regulating tube 19. Conversely, when the regulating tube 19 moves to the right, the number of liquid inlet holes 20 located in the regulating tube 6 is reduced, so that the water flow in the regulating tube 6 is decelerated when passing through the regulating tube 19, thereby achieving the function of regulating the flow through this design.

[0031] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present application is:

[0032] First, by setting the filter screen 8, when using the present pump to generate electricity, the water inlet pipe 9 is first connected to the high potential energy generating water flow. At this time, the water flows into the filter cartridge 7 through the water inlet pipe 9, and then passes through the filter screen 8 to come into the flow regulating cartridge 6, and then enters the volute 3 through the water inlet pipe 4 to drive the impeller to rotate and is discharged from the water outlet pipe 5 to complete the power generation work. In this process, if the water flow contains larger stones and other debris, they will be blocked and gathered by the filter screen 8, and under the influence of their own weight, they will fall into the slag collecting box 11 along the slag discharge tube 10 to be gathered, so as to prevent larger stones and debris from entering the volute 3 and causing the pump to be stuck and damaged.

[0033] Next, by splicing the sealing cover 12 at the bottom of the slag box 11, when power generation is finished and a large amount of stones and debris with too large particle sizes are collected in the slag box 11 and need to be cleaned, the staff can first pull the pull rod 18 outward to drive the locking block 16 to be pulled out of the slot 17 on the wedge rod 14, and release the locking state of the wedge rod 14, and then remove the sealing cover 12 downward to clean the slag box 11. After cleaning, the sealing cover 12 is reinstalled into the bottom of the slag box 11. At this time, the wedge rod 14 is locked. The wedge rod 14 is inserted into the slot 15. Since the opposite ends of the wedge rod 14 and the locking block 16 are inclined, the wedge rod 14 first abuts the locking block 16 to compress the return spring to move outward until the sealing cover 12 is completely fitted with the bottom of the slag collecting box 11. At this time, the locking block 16 will encounter the slot 17 and be snapped into the slot 17 under the rebound of the return spring, thereby firmly fixing the sealing cover 12 to the bottom of the slag collecting box 11. This design is convenient for cleaning the stones and debris filtered into the slag collecting box 11.

[0034] Finally, by setting a regulating tube 19 with dense liquid inlet holes 20 on the outer wall, when it is necessary to adjust the water flow entering the volute 3 for power generation, the driving motor is started to drive the screw 23 to rotate, and then the slider 22 can be controlled to move left and right. When the slider 22 drives the regulating tube 19 to move to the left, the number of liquid inlet holes 20 located in the regulating tube 6 on the outer wall of the regulating tube 19 will increase, so that the water flow in the regulating tube 6 can enter the volute 3 on the rear side of the water inlet pipe 4 faster through the liquid inlet holes 20 on the regulating tube 19. Conversely, when the regulating tube 19 moves to the right, the number of liquid inlet holes 20 located in the regulating tube 6 is reduced, so that the water flow in the regulating tube 6 is decelerated when passing through the regulating tube 19, thereby achieving the function of regulating the flow through this design.

[0035] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
