Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of low-pressure corrosion-resistant diaphragm pumps, in particular to a hydraulic end of a three-cylinder single-acting low-pressure corrosion-resistant diaphragm pump. Background Art
[0002] The hydraulic end is the flow-through portion of the diaphragm pump's conveying medium and is a key component of a three-cylinder, single-acting, low-pressure, corrosion-resistant diaphragm pump. After the driving force from the power end is transmitted to the hydraulic end via the piston rod, the piston in the cylinder performs reciprocating linear motion. The oil between the piston and the diaphragm drives the diaphragm in a concave-convex reciprocating motion, which in turn causes the feed and discharge valves to alternately open and close, achieving slurry conveyance.
[0003] Low-pressure corrosion-resistant diaphragm pumps operate in an acidic environment. The structure of the hydraulic end and the processing method of the wetted parts are directly related to the service life of the wetted parts and the continuous operation rate of the user's equipment, which in turn affects the user's profitability.
[0004] At present, triplex single-acting diaphragm pumps such as Figure 5-6 As shown, it generally includes the feed manifold, feed valve box, elbow, diaphragm chamber, discharge valve box, discharge manifold, and other flow-through parts and oil cylinders. After the slurry flows into the feed manifold, it flows upward into the feed valve box, flows into the elbow from the side of the feed valve box, flows into the diaphragm chamber from above the elbow, flows into the discharge valve box from above the diaphragm chamber, and flows into the discharge manifold from the side of the discharge valve box, and is transported to the pipeline.
[0005] This structure has the following disadvantages: (1) The feed valve box is located outside the front of the diaphragm chamber, which makes the overall length of the hydraulic end larger, resulting in a large footprint for the entire machine, high construction costs, and inconvenient transportation.
[0006] (2) When the slurry flows in from the bottom of the feed valve box and flows out to the side, when the slurry flows into the diaphragm cavity through the elbow, and when the slurry flows in from the bottom of the discharge valve box and flows out to the discharge main pipe from the side, the slurry flow channel is all 90° curved. The 90° change in the slurry flow direction in the flow components is prone to generate eddy currents, increasing the possibility of cavitation and affecting the service life of each flow component.
[0007] (3) The valve box body is a casting structure with large size, high weight, complex structure, and easy to produce casting defects. In addition, two valve box bodies need to be manufactured using two sets of molds, which increases the manufacturing cost.
[0008] (4) The number of hydraulic end parts is large, the production cost is high, the possibility of failure increases, the assembly time is long, and the tolerance is large.
[0009] (5) The diaphragm chamber and nitrogen bag are made of stainless steel integral castings, which has high production costs.
[0010] In order to reduce production costs, reduce failure risks and increase service life, it is urgent to develop a hydraulic end for low-pressure corrosion-resistant diaphragm pumps. Utility Model Content

[0015] Furthermore, the guide sleeve of the one-way valve is fixed on the boss.

[0017] As a third preferred solution of the present invention, the diaphragm chamber is connected to the power end, and a power end support is provided below the cavity of the power end.
[0018] As a fourth preferred solution of the present invention, the inlet of the valve box for feeding is directly connected to a feeding main pipe through a connecting pipe; the outlet of the valve box for discharging is directly connected to a discharging main pipe through a connecting pipe.
[0019] Furthermore, a nitrogen bag is provided on the discharge main pipe.
[0020] As a fifth preferred embodiment of the present invention, the nitrogen bag and the inner surface of the diaphragm chamber in contact with the slurry are both welded to a stainless steel layer.

The center lines of the flow parts coincide, and the flow direction of the medium at each location remains basically consistent. The flow performance is good, avoiding the vortex generated by the 90° change in the medium flow direction in the traditional hydraulic end, reducing the possibility of vortex and cavitation, and effectively extending the service life of each flow part.
[0022] 2. The hydraulic end has a compact structure and small length, which reduces production costs, plant space occupation, foundation construction costs and transportation costs.
[0023] 3. The structures of the inlet and outlet valve boxes are consistent. The valve box body can use pipe processing parts instead of traditional castings.

[0024] 4. The elbows and related bolts are eliminated, which reduces the number of parts and the weight of the equipment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
