Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of booster pumps and relates to a water supply pressure self-adaptive booster pump. Background Art
[0002] A booster pump is a common pump used to increase water pressure. Its working principle is mainly as follows: the booster pump creates a low-pressure area through the rotation of the impeller and draws water from the water source; when the impeller rotates, it converts electrical energy into kinetic energy of water, and the water is accelerated under the action of the impeller; as the water moves from the center of the impeller to the edge, the speed gradually slows down, and the kinetic energy is converted into pressure energy, resulting in an increase in water pressure; the outer casing of the booster pump, the pump casing or the guide casing, guides the high-speed water flow thrown out by the impeller to the outlet, forming a stable water flow.
[0003] The start and stop of the booster pump depends on the pressure. A pressure switch and a water flow switch are designed at the water inlet and outlet of the booster pump. When there is no water flow in the water pump and the system water pressure exceeds the set value of the pressure switch, the water pump will shut down; after shutdown, when there is water flow in the water pump and the system pressure drops to the set value of the pressure switch, the water pump will start automatically.
[0004] The above structure has a defect, that is, the setting value of the pressure switch is pre-set. When the user pumps water, the water pump head is lost due to water absorption, so that the pressure of the pipeline system does not exceed the setting value of the pressure switch. The circuit board will mistakenly judge that there is a lack of water and enter the water shortage protection state. When the head of the user's actual use scenario is too high, the faucet will be opened, and the water pump will not drop below the setting value of the pressure switch. The water pump will not start automatically. In this case, the user can only adjust the size of the pressure switch to make the water pump work normally. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0041] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the present embodiment provides a water supply pressure adaptive booster pump, including a booster pump body 1 having a motor 11 and an impeller 12, a control circuit board 2 and a water flow switch 3. The booster pump body 1 is the core component of the booster pump, which is in direct contact with water and is used to provide pressure and flow. The booster pump body 11 is connected to the control circuit board 2, and the control circuit board 2 receives signals such as sensors and controls the operation of the pump to maintain a constant water pressure. The water flow switch 3 is used to detect whether there is water flowing in the system. When water flow is detected, a signal is sent to the control circuit board 2, and the control circuit board 2 controls the pump to start. When the water flow stops, a signal is also sent to the control circuit board 2, and the control circuit board 2 controls the pump to stop.
[0042] The booster pump body 1 is also provided with a pressure sensor 4 for detecting the outlet water pressure. The pressure sensor 4 is connected to the memory 5 to store the detection pressure of the pressure sensor 4 at the last shutdown. The pressure sensor 4 can be directly connected to the memory to send the detection value to the memory 5. During the operation of the booster pump, the detection value of the pressure sensor 4 will continue to be received until the booster pump is shut down to save the latest detection value, that is, the detection pressure of the pressure sensor 4 at the last shutdown. Of course, the pressure sensor 4 can also be connected to the memory 5 through the controller in the control circuit board 2. The memory 5 still receives the detection value of the pressure sensor 4 through the controller during the operation of the booster pump until the booster pump is shut down to save the latest detection value, that is, the detection pressure of the pressure sensor 4 at the last shutdown. The pressure sensor 4 is also arranged on the control circuit board 2.
[0043] At the same time, the control circuit board 2 is connected to the pressure sensor 4, the booster pump body 1 and the memory 5. The control circuit board receives the detection pressure of the pressure sensor 4, and uses the detection value received from the memory 5 as the starting pressure, or uses the detection value received from the memory 5 as the starting pressure after a certain processing. There is no limitation here, and those skilled in the art can design it as needed. The control circuit board 2 starts and stops the booster pump body 1 according to the actual situation. This part of the principle is consistent with the booster pump in the prior art and will not be repeated here.
[0044] In a traditional booster pump, the pressure sensor 4 here is a pressure switch. When the water pressure in the system is lower than the set value of the pressure switch, the pressure switch will detect this change and send a signal to the control circuit board 2. The control circuit board 2 controls the booster pump to start according to the signal. Since the set value of the pressure switch is a pre-set value, it is easy for the water pump to fail to work properly due to different actual application scenarios, and the user needs to make manual adjustments. This solution uses a pressure sensor 4 that can obtain a pressure value instead of a pressure switch, and connects the pressure sensor 4 to the memory 5 to store the detection pressure of the pressure sensor 4. At the same time, the memory 5 is connected to the control circuit board 2, so that the control circuit board 2 can use the stored detection pressure as a reference for the starting pressure, and thus achieve the effect of pressure adaptation.
[0045] Furthermore, the motor 11 includes a rotating shaft 15 and a motor housing 13, the control circuit board 2 is fixedly mounted on the motor housing 13, and a motor seat 14 for mounting the booster pump at a target position extends below the motor housing 13. A display screen 21 is fixed above the control circuit board 2, and the display screen 21 is connected to the controller of the control circuit board 2, and is used to display the current system pressure, so that the user can intuitively obtain the pressure detection value.
[0046] Specifically, Figure 4As shown, the booster pump body 1 is connected to the water inlet and outlet separation chamber 6 having a water inlet 61 and a water outlet 62. The water inlet and outlet separation chamber 6 is located beside the water outlet 62 and has a sensor installation position 67 connected to the inside of the water inlet and outlet separation chamber 6, and the water pressure is detected by the pressure sensor 4 installed there. The water flow switch 3 is arranged at the water inlet 61 for detecting the water flow.
[0047] Furthermore, the inlet and outlet water separation chamber 6 has an impeller chamber 63, such as Figure 5 As shown, the water flow path from the water inlet 61 to the water outlet 62 is roughly U-shaped in the water inlet and outlet separation chamber 6. The impeller chamber 63 is located at the turning point of the water flow path, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the impeller 12 is supported by the rotating shaft 15 of the motor 11 in the impeller chamber 63, and rotates in the impeller chamber 63 as the rotating shaft 15 rotates. The inner wall of the impeller chamber 63 is provided with a water inlet connection port 64 and a water outlet connection port 65. The water inlet connection port 64 is connected to the water inlet 61 and the impeller chamber 63, and the water outlet connection port 65 is connected to the water outlet 62 and the impeller chamber 63. Under the action of the impeller 12, the water flow flowing into the impeller chamber 63 from the water inlet connection port 64 is pressurized and then sent to the water outlet 62 from the water outlet connection port 65. When the pump is running, the impeller 12 generates centrifugal force through rotation, thereby applying energy to the water, increasing the flow rate and pressure of the water. When the booster pump is working, water is continuously sucked into the impeller chamber 63, and then accelerated by the blades on the impeller 12 and thrown out to the water outlet connection port 65. This process enables the water to obtain kinetic energy, thereby increasing the pressure of the water.
[0048] This solution designs the water inlet and outlet separation chamber 6, and realizes a water flow passage with a roughly U-shaped structure in the chamber, and at the same time, the impeller 12 is arranged at the turning point, which can better control the direction and speed of the water flow, and help optimize the hydraulic performance of the entire system. In addition, the design of the water inlet connection port 64 and the water outlet connection port 65 on the inner wall of the impeller chamber 63 can make the water flow entering the water inlet connection port 64 just fall on the blades of the impeller 12, and the water flow is accelerated by the blades on the impeller 12 and thrown out to the water outlet connection port 65 by centrifugal force, which has a higher supercharging efficiency.
[0049] Furthermore, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the upper cover of the impeller chamber 63 is provided with a shielding sleeve 7, which can be made of stainless steel and fixed to the inlet and outlet water separation chamber 6 by bolts. The rotating shaft 15 passes through the shielding sleeve 7, and a sealed bearing is designed between the rotating shaft 15 and the shielding sleeve. The impeller 12 is located on the side of the shielding sleeve 7 away from the motor 11 so that the shielding sleeve 7 separates the motor 11 from the water flow.
[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a booster tank 8 is further provided between the water inlet 61 and the water outlet 62 on the water inlet and outlet separation chamber 6, and a booster tank connection port 66 with internal threads is provided on the water inlet and outlet separation chamber 6, and the booster tank connection port 66 is connected to the water flow path, and the booster tank 8 includes a tank port with external threads, and the booster tank 8 is provided on the water inlet and outlet separation chamber 6 through a threaded connection. The booster tank 8 is used to store a certain amount of water to adapt to slight fluctuations in water pressure, which can reduce the number of frequent starts of the booster pump, especially overcome the frequent start and stop of the booster pump caused by slight fluctuations in water pressure, thereby extending the service life of the booster pump.
[0051] Furthermore, if Fig. 9 As shown, the motor 11 adopts a through-type motor with a rotating shaft 15 on both sides of the motor 11. The rotating shaft 15 on one side is used to connect the impeller 12, and the other side is connected with a heat dissipation blade 9. This solution directly uses the motor of the booster pump body 1 and adopts a motor with a rotating shaft on both sides. The heat dissipation blade is connected on the side away from the impeller. The heat dissipation can be achieved while the booster pump is working. There is no need to design an additional heat dissipation structure, and the booster pump can be guaranteed to have a good heat dissipation effect.
[0052] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in similar ways without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
