Specific embodiments
[0026] The present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments:
[0027] Embodiment
[0028] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, an engine cooling water pump for efficiently supplying and transporting coolant includes a pump housing 1 and a pump shaft 5 located inside the pump housing 1. The pump housing 1 has an impeller cavity inside. Preferably, the inner cavity of the pump housing 1 is separated into an impeller cavity and a motor shaft cavity by a partition board 7. In order to enhance the sealing effect between the impeller cavity and the motor shaft cavity, a grease seal structure or a water seal structure can be provided near the partition board 7 in the motor shaft cavity. A bearing 8 corresponding to the pump shaft 5 is installed in the motor shaft cavity. The present utility model adopts at least two bearings 8 to stably support and cooperate with the rotation of the pump shaft 5. The pump shaft 5 has a pump shaft input end 51 outside the pump housing 1, and the pump shaft input end 51 is used to install a driving motor.
[0029] The outside of the pump housing 1 is provided with a liquid inlet end 11 and a liquid outlet end 12 that communicate with the impeller chamber. The impeller body 3 is power-mounted on the pump shaft 5 and located in the impeller chamber. In some embodiments, a metal inner lining sleeve 4 is fixed in the inner cavity of the impeller cylinder of the impeller body 3. The outside of the pump shaft 5 is circumferentially provided with driving teeth, and the inner side wall of the metal inner lining sleeve 4 is circumferentially provided with driven teeth that are in power cooperation with the driving teeth. The driving motor drives the pump shaft 5 to rotate, and the pump shaft 5 drives the impeller body 3 to rotate through the power cooperation structure of the driving teeth and the driven teeth (see Figure 1 , the impeller body 3 rotates clockwise).
[0030] A lining sleeve 2 is fixed to the inner wall of the pump housing 1. Preferably, the pump housing 1 is provided with an embedding groove, and the lining sleeve 2 is integrally embedded and fixed in the pump housing 1. A number of concave-convex fitting and fixing structures can also be provided between the outside of the lining sleeve 2 and the inner wall of the pump housing 1; the lining sleeve 2 can also be installed in the inner wall of the pump housing 1 by using strong glue and interference fit (while corresponding limit blocks are provided at the liquid inlet end 11 or / and the liquid outlet end 12 of the pump housing 1). The impeller body 3 is placed in the lining sleeve 2; the inner cavity of the lining sleeve 2 is a gradually changing cavity 6, and the cavity of the gradually changing cavity 6 gradually shrinks from the liquid inlet end 11 to the liquid outlet end 12 in the rotation direction of the impeller body 3. The impeller body 3 has rubber blades 31 that are circumferentially distributed, and the end edges of all the rubber blades 31 are attached to the wall of the lining sleeve 2. Both the lining sleeve 2 and the rubber blades 31 are made of rubber material. The rubber blades 31 are elastically attached to the inner wall of the lining sleeve 2, and the rubber blades 31 are also in an elastic hook shape and can adaptively perform elastic cooperation. Some coolant will adhere to the inner wall of the lining sleeve 2 to play a lubricating role and further reduce the movement friction. As Figure 1 shown, the edges of the rubber blades 31 of the impeller body 3 are all attached to the wall of the lining sleeve 2, and the water between adjacent rubber blades 31 can be conveyed towards the liquid outlet end 12 in the rotation direction of the impeller body 3. The lining sleeve 2 is provided with a number of water inlet through holes that communicate the liquid inlet end 11 with the impeller chamber, and the lining sleeve 2 is provided with a number of water outlet through holes that communicate the liquid outlet end 12 with the impeller chamber.
[0031] As Figure 4 shown, the impeller body 3 consists of an impeller cylinder and rubber blades 31 that are circumferentially distributed outside the impeller cylinder. As Figure 1 shown, the wall of the lining sleeve 2 consists of several arc surfaces, and a gradually changing cavity 6 is formed between all the arc surfaces and the outer wall of the impeller cylinder.
[0032] In some preferred embodiments, as Figure 3As shown, the barrel wall of the lining sleeve 2 is composed of four arc surfaces, which are the first arc surface 21, the second arc surface 22, the third arc surface 23, and the fourth arc surface 24 in sequence. The second arc surface 22 corresponds to the liquid inlet end 11, and the fourth arc surface 24 corresponds to the liquid outlet end 12. The included angle between the central axis of the liquid inlet end 11 and the central axis of the liquid outlet end 12 is 85 to 95 degrees. The third arc surface 23 is the arc surface from the liquid inlet end 11 to the liquid outlet end 12 in the rotation direction of the impeller body 3 (as Figure 3 shown. If the arc surface of the barrel wall of the lining sleeve 2 is regarded as a circular arc surface, then the third arc surface 23 in the major arc). The first arc surface 21 is the arc surface from the liquid outlet end 12 to the liquid inlet end 11 in the rotation direction of the impeller body 3. The gradually changing cavity 6 corresponding to the first arc surface 21 gradually increases from the minimum cavity volume to the maximum cavity volume. The first arc surface 21, the second arc surface 22, the third arc surface 23, and the fourth arc surface 24 can adopt circular arc surfaces. For example: the radius of the first arc surface 21 is R1, the radius of the second arc surface 22 is R2, the radius of the third arc surface 23 is R3, and the radius of the fourth arc surface 24 is R4, where the radius R2 and the radius R4 can be equal, and the radius R1 is less than the radius R3.
[0033] Preferably, as Figure 3 shown, the gradually changing cavity 6 corresponding to the first arc surface 21 (within the fan-shaped area of the first blade motion cavity 61 in Figure 3 ) gradually increases from the minimum cavity volume to the maximum cavity volume (in this embodiment, the clockwise direction is taken as the rotation direction of the impeller body 3). The gradually changing cavity 6 corresponding to the third arc surface 23 (within the fan-shaped area of the third blade motion cavity 63 in Figure 3 ) maintains the maximum cavity volume (or the gradually changing cavity 6 corresponding to the third arc surface 23 gradually shrinks from the maximum cavity volume to the minimum cavity volume). The gradually changing cavity 6 corresponding to the second arc surface 22 (within the fan-shaped area of the second blade motion cavity 62 in Figure 3 ), and the fourth arc surface 24 (within the fan-shaped area of the fourth blade motion cavity 64 in Figure 3 ) both serve the purpose of smooth transition. After the impeller body 3 is installed inside Figure 3 , the gradually changing cavity 6, except for the impeller barrel of the impeller body 3, is successively composed of the first blade motion cavity 61, the second blade motion cavity 62, the third blade motion cavity 63, and the fourth blade motion cavity 64.
[0034] In some embodiments, the rubber blade 31 is composed of a blade shank body 311 and a spherical body 312 located at the end of the blade shank body 311. The cross-sectional area of the blade shank body 311 tapers from the wall of the impeller cylinder to the spherical body 312, that is, the blade shank body 311 becomes thinner from the root to the end (the end close to the spherical body 312). The thick root of the blade shank body 311 is beneficial to fixing with the outer wall of the impeller cylinder of the impeller body 3 and is not prone to cracks and damage; the thin end of the blade shank body 311 is beneficial to the adaptive deformation of the blade shank body 311.
[0035] When the pump shaft 5 is driven to rotate, the impeller body 3 is driven to rotate. The coolant enters the tapered cavity 6 (the coolant storage cavity of the pump body) from the liquid inlet end 11. Figure 1 For example, it is shown that the impeller body 3 rotates clockwise in the direction of the arrow. The coolant entering from the liquid inlet end 11 by two adjacent rubber blades 31 will be taken to the liquid outlet end 12 and discharged along with the rotational movement. Then the two adjacent rubber blades 31 are compressed when passing through the front end of the first blade movement cavity 61, which is beneficial to the complete discharge of the coolant; then the two adjacent rubber blades 31 gradually expand. When they return to the liquid inlet end 11 again, the two adjacent rubber blades 31 are fully expanded and reabsorb the coolant. The rubber blades 31 of the impeller body 3 and the lining sleeve 2 of the present utility model are both made of rubber materials. They are elastically fitted during the movement process, increasing the conveying efficiency of the coolant. The rubber blades 31 are in the shape of elastic hooks and can adapt to the spatial changes of the tapered cavity 6.
[0036] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
