An inner hole is opened in the center of the necked flange, and the necked flange is bent downward at the inner hole to form a neck. The pump outlet pipe extends into the inner hole and is fixedly welded to the inner wall of the neck; an opening is provided in the center of the upper connecting plate for the pump outlet pipe to pass through, and connection holes are opened at corresponding positions on the necked flange and the upper connecting plate, so that the upper connecting plate is fixed to the lower part of the necked flange through the connection holes.
[0005] As a further technical solution, a J-shaped weld with a blunt edge is adopted between the upper end of the neck and the pump outlet pipe.
[0006] As a further technical solution, a single-sided V-shaped weld is adopted between the lower end of the neck and the pump outlet pipe.
[0007] As a further technical solution, a transition inclined surface is provided at the connection between the neck and the necked flange.
[0008] As a further technical solution, a plurality of annular sealing grooves are opened on the upper surface of the necked flange for installing sealing rings.
[0009] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0010] 1. The transition inclined surface of the new structure neck can provide better sealing effect and reduce the risk of leakage;
[0011] 2. The welding method is changed from the original single-sided welding to double-sided welding, greatly improving the welding strength;
[0012] 3. The new-structured neck can provide additional strength and support, which helps to evenly distribute stress and reduce the risk of weld cracking and leakage caused by stress concentration;
[0013] 4. The neck design of the necked flange makes the welding positioning operation easier and can achieve high-quality welding results with full and beautiful welds;
[0014] 5. To ensure the realization of double-sided welding, an open-type upper connection plate is designed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] The following will introduce the present utility model in detail with reference to the drawings:
[0024] Embodiment: As shown in the attached Figures 3 to 6 figures, the structure of the outlet flange assembly of this stainless steel light horizontal centrifugal pump includes a necked flange 1, a neck 11, a transition slope 12, a sealing groove 13, an upper connection plate 2, an opening 21, a pump outlet pipe 3, a connection hole 4, a J-groove weld with blunt edge 5 and a single-sided V-groove weld 6.
[0025] Refer to the attached Figure 3 、 4, a central inner hole is opened in the necked flange 1. The necked flange 1 is bent downward at the inner hole to form a neck 11. The pump outlet pipe 3 (with a certain arc and being a conical pipe) extends into the inner hole and is fixedly welded to the inner wall of the neck 11. Further, a J-groove weld 5 with a blunt edge is adopted between the upper end of the neck 11 and the pump outlet pipe 3. At the same time, a single-sided V-groove weld 6 is adopted between the lower end of the neck 11 and the pump outlet pipe 3. Changing the welding method from the original single-sided welding to double-sided welding can greatly improve the welding strength.
[0026] As Figure 5 , 6 shown, an opening 21 is provided in the center of the upper connecting plate 2 for the pump outlet pipe 3 to pass through. Connecting holes 4 are opened at corresponding positions on the necked flange 1 and the upper connecting plate 2, so that the upper connecting plate 2 is fixedly screwed to the lower part of the necked flange 1 through the connecting holes 4. Preferably, a transition inclined surface 12 is provided at the connection between the neck 11 and the necked flange 1, and a plurality of annular sealing grooves 13 are opened on the upper surface of the necked flange 1, and sealing rings are installed in the sealing grooves 13.
