AI Technical Summary
Existing gear pumps experience radial unbalance forces, leading to reduced pressure in the inlet and outlet, causing wear and tear on bearings, potential shell scraping, and periodic noise, ultimately resulting in pump failure, especially when handling corrosive, particulate, or volatile fluids.
The design of an axially balanced gear pump with enhanced axial support through the use of first and second add-on bearings, a floating pressure ring, and a larger diameter for the main and driven shafts, along with a pressure relief mechanism and a specific configuration of the inlet and outlet, reduces radial unbalance forces and stabilizes the gear engagement.
This configuration enhances the stability and longevity of the gear pump by minimizing radial unbalance forces, reducing wear, noise, and the risk of shell scraping, while preventing fluid cavitation and material fatigue.

Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0021] Example: See Figure 1-5 An axially balanced gear oil pump shown in the figure comprises a pump body 1, a gear pump chamber 2 is formed inside the pump body 1, a driving shaft 3 is arranged on the pump body 1 and located at the center of the lower gear pump chamber 2, a driving gear 4 is installed on the driving shaft 3 corresponding to the lower gear pump chamber 2, a first reinforced bearing 5 is arranged at the rear end of the driving shaft 3, a floating pressure ring 6 is arranged on the driving shaft 3 and located in front of the driving gear 4, a driven shaft 7 is arranged on the pump body 1 and located on the upper pump body 1 and located at the center of the lower gear pump chamber 2, and a driven shaft 7 is arranged on the upper pump body 1 and located at the center of the lower gear pump chamber 2. A driven gear 8 is arranged on the driving shaft 7 and at the center of the upper gear pump chamber 2, and second reinforced bearings 9 are arranged at both ends of the driven shaft 7.

A sealing end cover 12 is arranged on the front side of the pump body 1, and a drainage channel 13 is arranged on the right front side of the sealing end cover 12. A reflux chamber 14 is opened on the lower side of the interior of the pump body 1, and a spring safety valve 15 is arranged at one end of the interior of the pump body 1 close to the oil outlet chamber 11 and corresponding to the reflux chamber 14. The first reinforced bearing 5 and the second reinforced bearing 9 can effectively offset the axial forces of the corresponding driving shaft 3 and the driven shaft 7, so that the operation stability of the driving shaft 3 and the driven shaft 7 is better. During the operation, the pump body 1 quotes a stream of pressure oil through the drainage channel 13 to act on the floating pressure ring 6, so that the floating pressure ring 6 fits on the end face of the driving gear 4 to reduce the end face gap and improve the volume effect, thereby effectively reducing the generation of the axial force of the gear oil pump. Since the inner diameter of the oil inlet chamber 10 in the gear oil pump is larger than the inner diameter of the oil outlet chamber 11, the cavitation phenomenon generated by the pump body 1 during oil absorption can be effectively eliminated. By reducing the inner diameter of the oil outlet chamber 11, the effective area of the pressure oil can be effectively reduced, and the radial unbalanced force can be effectively reduced. During operation, the reflux chamber 14 can effectively communicate the oil inlet chamber 10 and the oil outlet chamber 11, and the pressure difference between the two can be effectively reduced, so that the radial unbalanced force of the pump body 1 is reduced during operation, thereby improving the use effect and service life of the gear oil pump.
[0022] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1-5As shown, a bearing reinforcement seat 16 is provided on the pump body 1 corresponding to the driving shaft 3, and the driving shaft 3 is connected to the bearing reinforcement seat 16 through the first reinforcement bearing 5. Its function is that the bearing reinforcement seat 16 can make the running transfer stability between the driving shaft 3 and the pump body 1 high, and can make the meshing running stability between the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 8 high, so as to effectively avoid gear wear and make the overall running stability high.
[0023] The two ends of the driven shaft 7 are respectively connected to the sealing end cover 12 and the pump body 1 through the second reinforced bearing 9, and the shaft diameters of the driving shaft 3 and the driven shaft 7 are thickened. Its function is that the stability of the driven shaft 7 can be reinforced through the second reinforced bearing 9, and at the same time, due to the thickened shaft diameter design of the driving shaft 3 and the driven shaft 7, the driving shaft 3 and the driven shaft 7 can better resist the axial force, so that the use effect of the gear oil pump is good.
[0024] The inner diameter of the oil inlet chamber 10 is larger than the inner diameter of the oil outlet chamber 11, and the two ends of the reflux chamber 14 are respectively connected to the oil inlet chamber 10 and the oil outlet chamber 11. A unloading groove 17 is provided on the sealing end cover 12 at the meshing position with the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 8. The outer diameter of the floating pressure ring 6 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the driving gear 4. A regulating knob 18 is provided on the pump body 1 corresponding to the lower end of the spring safety valve 15. The upper end of the spring safety valve 15 is connected to the reflux chamber 14. The tooth top clearance of the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 8 is increased, and the gear meshing overlap of the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 8 is less than 1. Its function is that, by making the gear meshing overlap of the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 8 less than 1, the dead volume generated when the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 8 are meshed can be effectively reduced, and the oil trapped phenomenon in the gear oil pump can be effectively avoided, thereby effectively avoiding damage to the gear material. Through the unloading groove 17, when the dead volume of the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 8 changes from large to small, it is connected with the oil outlet chamber 11, and when the dead volume changes from small to large, it is connected with the oil inlet chamber 10, which effectively reduces the cavitation phenomenon of the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 8, produces many tiny bubbles, and avoids the collapse of bubbles under high pressure, which will cause fatigue damage to the gear material, wear and consumption between the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 8, and the gear oil pump, thereby effectively reducing the probability of the gear oil pump scraping the shell and sweeping the bore, and improving the service life of the gear oil pump.
[0025] When the axially balanced gear oil pump in this scheme is used, the driving shaft 3 is connected by an external driver of the coupling, and the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 8 are driven to mesh and drive under the action of the driving shaft 3. Then, under the action of the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 8, a pressure difference is generated between the oil inlet chamber 10 and the oil outlet chamber 11 to realize oil injection operation. During the operation of the gear oil pump, the first reinforced bearing 5 and the second reinforced bearing 9 can effectively offset the axial force of the corresponding driving shaft 3 and the driven shaft 7, so that the operation stability of the driving shaft 3 and the driven shaft 7 is better. During the operation, the pump body 1 quotes a stream of pressure oil to act on the floating pressure ring 6, so that the floating The dynamic pressure ring 6 is fitted on the end face of the driving gear 4 to reduce the end face gap and improve the volume effect, thereby effectively reducing the generation of the axial force of the gear oil pump. Since the inner diameter of the oil inlet chamber 10 in the gear oil pump is larger than the inner diameter of the oil outlet chamber 11, the cavitation phenomenon generated by the pump body 1 during oil absorption can be effectively reduced. By reducing the inner diameter of the oil outlet chamber 11, the pressure oil action area can be effectively reduced, and the radial unbalanced force can be effectively reduced. During operation, the oil inlet chamber 10 and the oil outlet chamber 11 can be effectively communicated through the reflux chamber 14, and the pressure difference between the two can be effectively reduced, so that the radial unbalanced force of the pump body 1 is reduced during operation, thereby improving the use effect and service life of the gear oil pump;
[0026] The bearing reinforcement seat 16 can make the running transfer stability between the driving shaft 3 and the pump body 1 high, and the meshing running stability between the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 8 high, so as to effectively avoid gear wear and make the overall running stable. The second reinforced bearing 9 can reinforce the stability of the driven shaft 7. At the same time, due to the thickened shaft diameter design of the driving shaft 3 and the driven shaft 7, the driving shaft 3 and the driven shaft 7 can better resist the axial force, so that the use effect of the gear oil pump is good;
[0027] By making the gear meshing overlap of the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 8 less than 1, the dead volume generated when the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 8 are meshed can be effectively reduced, and the oil trapped phenomenon in the gear oil pump can be effectively avoided, thereby effectively avoiding damage to the gear material. The unloading groove 17 is connected with the oil outlet chamber 11 when the dead volume of the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 8 changes from large to small, and is connected with the oil inlet chamber 10 when the dead volume changes from small to large, effectively reducing the cavitation phenomenon of the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 8. Many tiny bubbles are generated, and the collapse of bubbles under high pressure is avoided, which will cause fatigue damage to the gear material, wear and consumption between the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 8, and the gear oil pump. The probability of scraping the shell and sweeping the bore of the gear oil pump is effectively reduced, and the service life of the gear oil pump is increased.
