Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flange for the transformation of mixed-flow pumps, and particularly relates to a new type of reverse flange for the transformation of mixed-flow pumps. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous improvement of China's manufacturing level, the continuous optimization of materials, and the increase in the operation years of the circulating pump, the transformation projects of mixed-flow pumps are increasing day by day. Usually, users will carry out technical transformations in aspects such as efficiency improvement, capacity expansion, desulfurization, water level or working condition changes, structural improvement, and material upgrade.

[0003] At present, during the connection process between the pump outlet and the pipeline after transformation, there are often deviations (even occurring simultaneously) in the vertical or horizontal directions between the pump discharge flange and the pipeline flange, resulting in the inability to smoothly install the pump unit and an extended construction period. Most transformation projects need to be completed within the specified maintenance period in autumn and winter, usually within two weeks, with a short cycle, increasing the transformation cost of the mixed-flow pump. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] (1) Technical Problem to be Solved

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a new type of reverse flange for the transformation of mixed-flow pumps that can avoid the docking deviation between the pump discharge flange and the pipeline flange according to the current situation of the existing technology.

[0006] (2) Technical Solution

[0007] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions: The utility model provides a new type of reverse flange for the transformation of mixed-flow pumps, which includes a reverse flange body. A blind flange is arranged on one side of the reverse flange body. A cylinder is jointly installed inside the blind flange and the reverse flange body. Lifting screw holes are respectively opened on the connection bumps on the outer sides of the blind flange and the reverse flange body.

[0008] Furthermore, the reverse flange body is welded to the cylinder.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solutions, the reverse flange body is of a two-end flange type. The end connected to the pump is a fixed end, which is welded in the factory; the end connected to the pipeline is a movable end, which is welded on-site.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the blind flange must not interfere with the free expansion and contraction of the bolts at the pump end, and the inner diameter of the blind flange is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the pipeline.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solutions, the reliable installation and fixation of the pump and the new type of reverse flange can be ensured.

[0012] Furthermore, the blind flange has a free telescopic structure, and the blind flange is connected to the cylinder by on-site welding.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the blind flange can be translated on the pipeline, which can eliminate the deviation between the pump outlet and the front and back of the pipeline, and ensure that the pump outlet and the pipeline are successfully connected in one time.

[0014] Furthermore, the lifting screw holes are respectively formed on the counter flange body and the connecting protrusions provided on the blind flange.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting screw hole is mainly connected to the external lifting ring to facilitate the convenient lifting of the new counter flange after installation, ensuring the reliable connection between the pump outlet and the external pipeline.

[0016] (III) Beneficial effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] In order to solve the problem that in the process of connecting the pump outlet with the pipeline after the current transformation, there is often an up-down or left-right deviation between the pump discharge flange and the pipeline flange (even occurring at the same time), which makes it impossible to install the pump unit smoothly and prolongs the construction period. Most of the transformation projects need to be replaced within the prescribed maintenance period in the autumn and winter seasons, which usually needs to be completed within two weeks, and the cycle is short, which increases the transformation cost of the mixed flow pump. The utility model adopts a counter-flange body, a cylinder body and a blind flange as the main structure of the new type of discharge flange, so that the new type of counter-flange can eliminate the deviation between the pump outlet and the front and back of the pipeline through the translation of the blind flange on the pipeline when in use, thereby ensuring that the pump outlet and the pipeline are successfully connected at one time, thereby avoiding the extension of the mixed flow pump transformation arch and reducing the transformation cost of the mixing pump.
