Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of centrifugal pumps, in particular to a stretchable fully enclosed flip-cover coupling shield. Background Art

[0002] End-suction horizontal centrifugal pumps are a major structural form and are widely used in national economic construction. Most centrifugal pumps and drivers generally use couplings to transmit torque so that the centrifugal pumps can work normally. When the unit is running, the coupling is a rotating component, and its safety protection is extremely important. In recent years, many companies have paid more and more attention to it.

[0003] It is clearly stipulated in the technical conditions of centrifugal pumps that "the protective cover must be designed in accordance with national safety regulations". This requirement is also included in the latest version of AP1610-12th Edition, and there is an independent chapter that details the specific form requirements. From a safety perspective, the coupling is a moving part, and direct contact with people or objects can cause mechanical damage. When the coupling rotates, the screws, pins, keys, etc. on it are also at risk of being thrown out. In order to avoid the above safety hazards, the most fundamental way is to install a coupling guard. The coupling guard wraps the coupling inside and maintains a suitable distance from the coupling so as not to affect its safe operation. It can be seen that the coupling guard isolates the outside world from the isolator, effectively avoiding the above safety hazards. At the same time, the coupling guard is a static part with a sleek appearance design that will not cause harm to people or objects outside.

[0004] The common coupling guard structure on the market still has certain defects due to various reasons:

[0005] 1) Fixed shield lengths are not suitable for current engineering application requirements. For safety reasons, more and more engineering applications require that "coupling shields must ensure that all exposed rotating parts are contained within the shield, and the protective gap between all rotating parts must not exceed 10mm." Some even require that the protective gap be no greater than 5mm. Based on this requirement, the shield length must be calculated for each application, resulting in a large number of shield parts with different lengths. In addition, the incomplete dimensions of the motor end make it difficult to determine the exact shield length during design. Usually, the actual measurement is required after the motor is purchased. These factors bring serious inconvenience to the design, manufacturing, and use.

[0006] 2) Because the coupling guard has a shaft passing through it, its common structural form is saddle-shaped, leaving a large gap under the shaft, which poses a safety hazard.

[0007] 3) The operating space is very small during the disassembly and assembly process, which makes the operation inconvenient. It may even be impossible to disassemble and assemble due to interference on the pump side or the motor side. There is no flip cover on the top, which makes it inconvenient to turn the machine. Utility Model Content

[0008] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention proposes a stretchable fully enclosed flip-cover coupling shield that can cover the coupling and shaft from all angles to form a fully enclosed space. The stretchable design extends the length of the shield within a certain range, which can fully meet the requirements of the engineering project. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0009] A stretchable fully enclosed flip-cover coupling shield comprises a shield body, a flip cover arranged in the middle of the shield body, and stretch shields arranged on the left and right sides of the shield body respectively. The stretch shield consists of two halves, which are symmetrically arranged. A circular hole is provided on one side of the stretch shield, and a long hole is provided on the other side of the stretch shield. A through hole matching the long hole is provided in the shield body.

[0010] Furthermore, the shield body is formed by processing the plate in one step.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the flip cover is fixedly connected to the shield body through a hinge, and the other end of the flip cover is locked and connected to the shield body through a lock.

[0012] Furthermore, a handle is provided on the flip cover.

[0013] Specifically, the stretch hood is sleeved on the left and right sides of the shield body, and the distance between the stretch hood and the shield body is adjusted through the long holes.

[0014] Specifically, the elongated hole and the through hole are fixedly connected by bolts and nuts.

[0015] Preferably, reinforcing ribs are provided inside the through hole of the shield body.

[0016] Preferably, the shield body further comprises a foot, and a foot hole is provided on the foot.

[0017] The utility model can cover the coupling and the shaft from all angles to form a fully enclosed space. The stretchable design extends the length of the shield within a certain range, which can fully meet the requirements of the engineering project; and the operation is convenient during disassembly and assembly.
