Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pumps, in particular to a pump for balancing axial forces. Background Art

[0002] The operating principle of a multi-stage pump is that the motor rotates the pump shaft, driving the impeller to generate centrifugal force. This centrifugal force creates a negative pressure zone at the impeller's water inlet, which draws liquid into the pump body. After passing through the multi-stage impeller, the liquid is discharged through the water outlet. Existing multi-stage pumps have several problems due to the single bearing on the rotor shaft: 1. The single bearing lacks sufficient support, making the rotor shaft prone to misalignment, resulting in friction between the rotor and stator. This friction and wear reduces the motor's service life and increases maintenance costs. 2. The axial force generated by the pump during operation, when acting on the single bearing, can easily be transmitted to the motor's interior, causing motor failure and requiring downtime for repairs. 3. When both the pump's axial force and the rotor shaft's axial force act on the bearing, the single bearing struggles to balance the two forces, causing the bearing to overheat and even damage, thus affecting the pump's performance and reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present utility model is to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art and to provide a pump with balanced axial force. The pump adopts a bearing group, and each bearing group has two bearings arranged in opposite directions.

[0004] The above technical objectives of the present invention are mainly solved through the following technical solutions: a pump for balancing axial forces, comprising a motor body, a pump body, a rotor shaft extending from the motor body, a pump shaft extending from the pump body, and a coupling connecting the rotor shaft and the pump shaft, characterized in that a bearing group is arranged on the coupling, a bearing seat cooperates with the bearing group, the bearing seat is fixed to the housing of the motor body, the bearing group is at least one group, each group of the bearing group includes two bearings arranged in opposite directions, and the two bearings are used to offset the axial force generated by the operation of the pump body. In this technical solution, a bearing group is adopted, and the bearing group can be one or more groups, and each group of the bearing group has two bearings arranged in opposite directions. The two bearings arranged in opposite directions can offset the axial force of the water pump and the axial force of the rotor shaft, reduce or even avoid the destructive effect of the axial force on the motor, and at the same time improve the bearing load-bearing capacity, so that the rotor shaft runs smoothly, reduce the wear caused by wear, and increase the service life of the bearings and the motor.

[0020] The technical solution of the present invention will be further specifically described below with reference to embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Example: Figures 1-4 As shown, a pump for balancing axial forces includes a motor body 1, a pump body 2, a rotor shaft 3 extending from the motor body 1, a pump shaft 4 extending from the pump body 2, and a coupling 5 connecting the rotor shaft 3 and the pump shaft 4.

[0022] The difference between this technical solution and the prior art is that a bearing group 6 is provided on the coupling 5, the bearing group 6 is provided in the inner cavity of the bearing seat, the bearing seat is fixed on the housing of the motor body 1, and the bearing group 6 is at least one group, each group of the bearing group includes two bearings arranged in opposite directions, and the two bearings are used to offset the axial force generated by the operation of the pump body 2.

[0023] The present technical solution adopts a bearing group 6, which can be one or more than one group. Each bearing group 6 has two bearings arranged in opposite directions. The two bearings arranged in opposite directions can offset the axial force of the water pump and the axial force of the rotor shaft 3, reduce or even avoid the destructive effect of the axial force on the motor, and at the same time improve the bearing load-bearing capacity, so that the rotor shaft 3 runs smoothly, reduce the wear caused by wear, and increase the service life of the bearing and the motor.

[0024] In this embodiment, the bearing group 6 is preferably a group, and the bearing is preferably a 7000C (AC, B) / DB type bearing, that is, a single row angular contact ball bearing.

[0025] In this embodiment, by disposing two bearings facing each other within the bearing seat, the axial force generated by the water pump body 2 when the motor body 1 drives the water pump body 2 can be offset, thereby preventing the generated axial force from being transmitted to the motor body 1 and thus preventing bearing damage during the transmission of the axial force. Furthermore, the bearing assembly 6, consisting of two single-row angular contact ball bearings 6, can achieve a higher maximum speed than a double-row angular contact ball bearing with corresponding parameters, and its axial load capacity is also greater, thereby extending the bearing's service life.

[0026] Further improve and optimize the above technical solutions:

[0027] In actual application, a foolproof structure 8 is provided on one end wall of the bearing, and the two bearings are tightly fitted with each other, and the two foolproof structures 8 are arranged in opposite directions. The setting of the foolproof structure 8 prevents the bearings from being assembled in the wrong direction, which is conducive to improving assembly efficiency and ensuring that the two bearings are arranged in opposite directions.

[0028] In actual application, the bottom of the cavity of the bearing seat is provided with an anti-foolproof matching structure 9 for matching with the anti-foolproof structure 8. The provision of the anti-foolproof matching structure 9 is conducive to absorbing the axial dimension of the anti-foolproof structure 8, so that the end face of the bearing can fit the cavity bottom surface of the bearing seat body 11, which is conducive to axially limiting the bearing and providing effective axial support.

[0029] In actual application, the foolproof structure 8 is an axially protruding protrusion or convex ring, and the foolproof matching structure 9 is an axially recessed concave ring. The radial and axial dimensions of the foolproof structure 8 are adapted to the radial and axial dimensions of the foolproof matching structure 9, and the foolproof structure 8 is inserted into the foolproof matching structure 9. The foolproof matching structure 9 being a concave ring facilitates the insertion of the foolproof structure 8, thereby improving assembly efficiency. In this embodiment, the foolproof structure 8 is preferably a convex ring structure.

[0030] In practical applications, the foolproof structure 8 is provided on the outer ring of the bearing, which is beneficial to ensure the overall strength of the bearing.

[0031] In actual application, the bearing seat includes a bearing seat body 11 and a bearing positioning cover 10. The bearing seat body 11 has a bearing cavity with one end open, and the bearing group 6 is disposed in the bearing cavity. The bearing positioning cover 10 covers the open portion of the bearing seat body 11, thereby confining the bearing group 6 within the bearing seat body 11. The provision of the bearing positioning cover 10 facilitates the installation of the bearing group 6 into the inner cavity of the bearing seat, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0032] In actual use, a positioning structure 12 is provided on the inner wall of the bearing positioning cover 10. The positioning structure 12 is a raised ring with an inner end pressed against the outer end wall of the corresponding bearing. The positioning structure 12 and the anti-fouling structure 8 on the bearing are offset, and the radial dimension of the positioning structure 12 is adapted to the radial dimension of the anti-fouling structure 8. The provision of the positioning structure 12 helps absorb the axial dimension of the anti-fouling structure 8, providing a larger support area for the end of the bearing and improving assembly stability.

[0033] In practical applications, let the depth of the bearing accommodating cavity in the bearing seat body 11 be H, the thickness of the bearing be B, and the height of the positioning structure 12 (positioning ring) on ​​the bearing positioning cover 10 be h, then H=2B+h

[0034] In practical applications, the radius of the inscribed circle of the positioning structure 12 is greater than the radius of the circumscribed circle of the anti-fouling structure 8. The positioning structure 12 is disposed on the periphery of the anti-fouling structure 8 and cooperates with an axial limiting structure 13, such as a retaining ring, disposed in the shaft hole of the bearing, so that both the inner and outer sides of the bearing are limited, which helps to improve the stability of the bearing assembly.

[0035] In actual application, the coupling 5 includes a first connecting portion 17 and a second connecting portion 16 that are detachably connected. The first connecting portion 17 includes a first clamping structure 14 and a second clamping structure 15. The first clamping structure 14 and the second clamping structure 15 are clamped together and detachably fixedly connected via a connector to detachably clamp the pump shaft. The detachably connected first connecting portion 17 and second connecting portion 16 facilitates separation of the motor body and the pump body by disassembling and assembling the first connecting portion 17 and second connecting portion 16 without disassembling the motor end, thereby improving assembly efficiency. The detachably fixed connection between the first clamping structure 14 and the second clamping structure 15 facilitates removal of the first connecting portion 17 from the pump shaft, thereby improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly of the internal structure of the pump body.

[0036] In practical applications, the second connecting portion 16 is connected to the rotor shaft via a key, and the second connecting portion 16 passes through the bearing locating cover, the bearing assembly and the bearing seat, and the bearing locating cover and the second connecting portion 16 are clearance-fitted.

Various modifications and variations are possible in the above embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
