Specific embodiments

[0023] In order to better understand the above technical solutions, the above technical solutions will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification and specific embodiments.

[0024] Refer to Figures 1-4 , a chemical unloading vehicle with a pump that does not require replacement, including a mounting cylinder 1, a driving sleeve 11 rotatably arranged in the mounting cylinder 1, a driving motor 2, a clutch mechanism 3, and two groups of pump bodies 4.

[0025] This unloading pump is installed on the methanol unloading crane position of the loading and unloading platform. The methanol in the methanol transport vehicle is pressurized by the unloading pump and then transported through a pipeline to the methanol tank for returning materials in the intermediate tank area. At the same time, the unloading pipeline for externally purchased ethanol is connected. When the methanol raw material tank is idle, the externally purchased ethanol is unloaded to the methanol tank for returning materials through the unloading pump. Among them, the two groups of pump bodies 4 are respectively connected to the methanol unloading pipeline and the ethanol unloading pipeline.

[0026] The driving motor 2 is used to provide power for the unloading pump. The power of the driving motor 2 is transmitted to the driving sleeve 11, and the clutch mechanism 3 distributes the power of the driving sleeve 11 to different pump bodies 4. Therefore, the two groups of pump bodies 4 can work independently, completely separating the transportation processes of methanol and ethanol, fundamentally eliminating the risk of material cross-contamination caused by sharing the unloading pump, ensuring the purity of chemicals and product quality during the transportation process, meeting high-standard production and safety requirements, and after switching the transportation medium, there is no need for complex cleaning of the pump body 4 or material replacement process, greatly shortening the operation preparation time and improving the overall operation efficiency.

[0027] Two groups of pump bodies 4 are symmetrically installed at both ends of the installation cylinder 1 and are coaxial with the installation cylinder 1. The driving motor 2 is installed radially along the installation cylinder 1, and the output end of the driving motor 2 extends into the installation cylinder 1. A gear transmission structure is provided between the output end of the driving motor 2 and the driving sleeve 11.

[0028] Referring to Figures 1-4 , a ring groove is provided on the driving sleeve 11. A support rod 12 is fixedly installed in the installation cylinder 1. The support rod 12 is rotatably connected to the ring groove. The support rod 12 provides support for the driving sleeve 11 to ensure the stable rotation of the driving sleeve 11 in the installation cylinder 1. The ring groove plays a role in limiting, reducing the risk of axial offset of the driving sleeve 11.

[0029] Referring to Figures 1-4 , the gear transmission structure includes a bevel gear one 21 fixedly arranged at the output end of the driving motor 2. A bevel gear two 13 is fixedly installed on the driving sleeve 11. The bevel gear one 21 and the bevel gear two 13 are meshed with each other. After the driving motor 2 is started, the bevel gear one 21 is driven to rotate, driving the bevel gear two 13 to rotate, realizing the transmission with the driving sleeve 11.

[0030] The clutch mechanism 3 is located in the installation cylinder 1 and is used to control the driving sleeve 11 to drive different pump bodies 4 to operate. Through the clutch mechanism 3, the power of the driving sleeve 11 can be distributed to different pump bodies 4 according to the use needs, and then different materials can be transported.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1-2 , the pump body 4 includes a spiral-shaped outer shell 41. The outer shell 41 has a liquid inlet pipe 42 and a liquid outlet pipe 43. When pumping materials, the materials enter the outer shell 41 through the liquid inlet pipe 42 and are output through the liquid outlet pipe 43. The liquid inlet pipe 42 is installed at the side axis position of the outer shell 41, and the liquid outlet pipe 43 is installed at the bottom tangent position of the outer shell 41. A central shaft 44 extending into the installation cylinder 1 is rotatably arranged in the outer shell 41. An impeller 45 is fixedly arranged on the central shaft 44. When the driving sleeve 11 drives the central shaft 44 to rotate, the materials entering the outer shell 41 generate centrifugal force under the rotation of the impeller 45, so that the materials are thrown outwards and are output from the liquid outlet pipe 43 in a high-pressure state.

[0032] Referring to Figures 3-4 , the clutch mechanism 3 includes a driving shaft 31 slidably arranged in the driving sleeve 11. The driving sleeve 11 rotates to drive the driving shaft 31 to rotate and maintains effective transmission during the movement of the driving shaft 31. Friction wheels 32 are fixedly installed at both ends of the driving shaft 31 and at one end of the central shaft 44 close to the driving shaft 31. A control structure for controlling the movement of the central shaft 44 is slidably arranged on the installation cylinder 1. The axial movement of the driving shaft 31 is controlled through the control structure. When the friction wheel 32 on the driving shaft 31 abuts against the friction wheel 32 on the central shaft 44, the power is transmitted to the central shaft 44, and then the impeller 45 is driven to rotate.

[0033] Reference Figures 3-4 The control structure includes a mounting card 33 rotatably connected to the drive shaft 31. The rotation of the drive shaft 31 does not affect the position of the mounting card 33. A control rod 34 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting card 33. The control rod 34 passes through a slot provided on the mounting cylinder 1, and a threaded ring 35 is fixedly provided on the end of the control rod 34. A threaded rod 14 is rotatably provided on the outer wall of the mounting cylinder 1. The threaded ring 35 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 14. By rotating the threaded rod 14, the threaded ring 35 can be driven to axially displace under the action of the thread, thereby driving the mounting card 33 to move, so that the mounting card 33 pushes the drive shaft 31 to change its position.

[0034] Reference Figures 3-4 The cross section of the driving shaft 31 is a polygon, so that the driving shaft 31 and the driving sleeve 11 can slide axially and transmit effectively at the same time.

[0035] Reference Figures 3-4 , positioning columns 36 are coaxially arranged at both ends of the driving shaft 31, and the positioning columns 36 are slidably connected to the central shaft 44. The positioning columns 36 can improve the alignment stability between the driving shaft 31 and the central shaft 44, and the cross-section of the positioning columns 36 is circular. When the friction wheel 32 is not in contact, no effective transmission is performed, thereby reducing the power loss of the driving motor 2.

[0036] Reference Figures 3-4 A friction strip is provided on the friction surface of the friction wheel 32, so that when the two friction wheels 32 are in contact, the friction resistance of the friction wheel 32 is increased, and the transmission efficiency is improved under the action of the friction strip.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] When in use, the unloading pump is installed on the methanol unloading crane position on the loading and unloading platform. The methanol in the methanol transport vehicle is pressurized by the unloading pump and transported to the return methanol tank in the intermediate tank area through the pipeline. At the same time, the unloading pipeline of the purchased ethanol is connected. When the methanol raw material tank is idle, the purchased ethanol is unloaded to the return methanol tank through the unloading pump, wherein the two groups of pump bodies 4 are respectively connected to the methanol unloading pipeline and the ethanol unloading pipeline;

[0039] When discharging, start the driving motor 2. After the driving motor 2 starts, the driving bevel gear one 21 rotates, driving the bevel gear two 13 to rotate, realizing the transmission with the driving sleeve 11. The driving sleeve 11 rotates to drive the driving shaft 31 to rotate. By rotating the threaded rod 14, the threaded ring 35 can be axially displaced under the action of the thread, driving the mounting clamp 33 to move, so that the mounting clamp 33 pushes the driving shaft 31 to change its position, making the friction wheel 32 on the driving shaft 31 abut against the friction wheel 32 on the pump body 4 to be operated, transmitting the power to the central shaft 44, and then driving the impeller 45 to rotate. The material enters the housing 41 from the liquid inlet pipe 42. The material entering the housing 41 generates centrifugal force under the rotation of the impeller 45, causing the material to be thrown outwards and output from the liquid outlet pipe 43 in a high-pressure state.
