Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of couplings, in particular to a diaphragm coupling for a water pump. Background Art

[0002] A diaphragm coupling is a high-performance flexible coupling used to connect two shafts and transmit power. It primarily consists of two coupling halves and a central diaphragm assembly. The diaphragm assembly, its core component, is typically composed of multiple layers of metal diaphragms. These diaphragms are often made of high-strength stainless steel, which offers excellent elasticity and corrosion resistance. Common diaphragm shapes include wavy and serrated shapes. This design allows the diaphragms to effectively compensate for axial, radial, and angular displacement. During operation, if the two connected shafts experience displacement deviations due to installation errors, thermal expansion and contraction, load variations, or other factors, the diaphragms of the diaphragm coupling can adapt to these variations through elastic deformation, ensuring smooth power transmission and effectively reducing vibration, noise, and additional loads caused by shaft misalignment, thus protecting the equipment. It is widely used in various industrial applications, including but not limited to shaft transmission systems in pumps, fans, compressors, machine tools, and other equipment. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring high transmission accuracy, stability, and reliability. During installation, diaphragm couplings require proper alignment testing.

[0003] When installing existing diaphragm couplings, a dial indicator is often used to measure whether the coaxiality of the diaphragm coupling installation meets the requirements. When using the dial indicator, two measuring units need to be fixed on the two half-couplings respectively before calibration and measurement can be performed. This is more troublesome to use, reduces installation efficiency, and increases installation costs.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a diaphragm coupling for a water pump. Utility Model Content

[0022] The following will combine the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively below with reference to relevant references, and several embodiments of the present invention are given. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in this article are for illustrative purposes only.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items. Example

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: comprising a spacer shaft 1, the outer surface of the spacer shaft 1 is fixedly connected to a support block 2, a plurality of support blocks 2 are divided into two groups and are symmetrically distributed, each group of support blocks 2 is distributed in a ring array, the outer surface of each group of support blocks 2 is fixedly connected to a detection ring 3, the outer surface of the detection ring 3 is provided with mounting holes 4 distributed in a ring array, the inner wall of the mounting hole 4 is fixedly sleeved with a square tube 5, the inner bottom wall of the square tube 5 is fixedly connected to a spring 6, one end of the spring 6 is fixedly connected to a measuring rod 7, and one end of the measuring rod 7 is provided with an inclined surface 8;

[0027] The outer surface of the measuring rod 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the square tube 5. An observation groove 9 is provided on one side surface of the square tube 5. One end of the observation groove 9 passes through and extends to the interior of the square tube 5. A pointer 10 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the square tube 5. Among the multiple measuring rods 7, two opposite measuring rods 7 are a group. The surface of the measuring rod 7 is provided with a scale. If the installation coaxiality deviates in a certain direction, the half coupling 12 will be non-concentric with the detection ring 3 in this direction, so that in this direction, the scales read by the two measuring rods 7 through the pointer 10 are inconsistent. Example

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: diaphragms 11 are provided on both side surfaces of the spacer shaft 1. The number of layers of the diaphragm 11 can be set according to actual conditions. High-strength stainless steel is mostly used. This material has good elasticity and corrosion resistance. Common shapes of the diaphragm 11 include wavy and serrated shapes. Such a design enables the diaphragm 11 to effectively compensate for axial, radial and angular displacements. A half-coupling 12 is provided on one side surface of the diaphragm 11, and one end of each of the multiple measuring rods 7 is in contact with the outer surface of the half-coupling 12.

[0029] Bolt holes 13 distributed in an annular array are formed on one side surface of the half coupling 12 . One end of the bolt hole 13 passes through the diaphragm 11 and extends to one side surface of the spacer shaft 1 .

[0030] A screw rod 14 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the bolt hole 13 , and a nut 15 is threadedly sleeved on the outer surface of one end of the screw rod 14 .

[0031] One side surface of the nut 15 contacts one side surface of the spacer shaft 1 , and one side surface of the half coupling 12 is provided with an inserting hole 16 .

[0032] The inner wall of the plug hole 16 is provided with symmetrically distributed limiting grooves 17 , and a connecting shaft 18 is movably plugged into the inner wall of the plug hole 16 .

[0033] The outer surface of the connecting shaft 18 is fixedly connected to a limiting pin 19 , and the outer surface of the limiting pin 19 is movably plugged into the inner wall of the limiting groove 17 .

[0034] By setting up multiple measuring rods, the coaxiality of the water pump shaft and the motor shaft can be measured directly without the help of additional tools such as vernier calipers. It is very convenient to use, greatly improves the efficiency of installation, and effectively reduces the cost of installation.

[0035] The working process of this utility model:

[0036] Step 1: When installing the diaphragm 11 coupling for the water pump, install the two half-couplings 12 on the water pump shaft and the motor shaft respectively, ensuring that the half-couplings 12 are firmly connected to the shafts. Then, connect the spacer shaft 1, the diaphragm 11 and the half-coupling 12 through the screw 14 and the nut 15. During the connection process, the outer surface of the half-coupling 12 will contact the inclined surface 8 of the measuring rod 7, thereby squeezing the measuring rod 7 to drive the spring 6 to contract. After the connection is completed, one end of each of the multiple measuring rods 7 contacts the outer surface of the half-coupling 12, thereby preliminarily connecting the motor shaft and the water pump shaft;

[0037] Step 2. After the initial installation is completed, one end of each of the multiple measuring rods 7 is in contact with the outer surface of the half-coupling 12. Among the multiple measuring rods 7, two opposing measuring rods 7 form a group. The surface of the measuring rods 7 is provided with a scale. If the installation coaxiality deviates in a certain direction, in that direction, the half-coupling 12 will be non-concentric with respect to the detection ring 3, so that in that direction, the scales read by the pointer 10 of the two measuring rods 7 are inconsistent, and adjustment is required at this time.

[0038] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
