Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of centrifugal pumps, in particular to a mechanically sealed and lubricated centrifugal pump. Background Art

[0002] Centrifugal pumps come in a variety of styles, including vertical, horizontal, single-stage, multi-stage, single-suction, double-suction, and self-priming. Centrifugal pumps work by using the centrifugal motion of water caused by the rotation of the impeller. Before starting the pump, the pump casing and suction pipe must be filled with water. Then, the motor is started, causing the pump shaft to drive the impeller and water into high-speed rotation. The water undergoes centrifugal motion and is flung toward the outer edge of the impeller, flowing through the flow channel of the volute pump casing into the water pressure line of the water pump. Existing centrifugal pumps use mechanical seals to seal the shaft connection. If lubricating oil is not added during use, the friction between the shaft and the pump body increases when the shaft rotates, causing damage to the shaft and shortening the service life of the centrifugal pump. Utility Model Content

[0003] In response to the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a centrifugal pump with mechanical seal lubrication, which solves the problem that the existing centrifugal pump seals the shaft connection through a mechanical seal, but if no lubricating oil is added for lubrication during use, the friction between the shaft and the pump body increases when the shaft rotates, causing damage to the shaft and shortening the service life of the centrifugal pump.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a centrifugal pump with mechanical seal lubrication, comprising a pump body assembly, one end of which is provided with a lubrication assembly, the lubrication assembly including an oil pot, the top of which is fixedly connected to an oil delivery pipe, the side of which is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe, one end of which is fixedly connected to a liquid level pipe, and the top of which is fixedly connected to a liquid level signaler.

[0005] Preferably, the pump body assembly includes a main pump body, a feed port is opened at one end of the main pump body, a coupling is movably connected to the other end of the main pump body, a bearing is movably connected to one end of the inner cavity of the main pump body, a connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the side of the bearing, an impeller is sleeved on one end of the connecting shaft, and a motor is fixedly connected to one end of the coupling.

[0006] Preferably, a discharge port is provided at the top of the main pump body, a refueling port is provided at one end of the top of the main pump body, and a base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main pump body and the motor.

[0007] Preferably, a water pump is fixedly connected to the bottom of the oil pipeline, an oil tank is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base, the water pump is fixedly connected to the top of the base, and a water pipe arranged at the bottom of the water pump passes through the top of the base and is connected to the oil tank fixedly connected to the bottom of the base.

[0008] Preferably, the oil pot is arranged in parallel with the liquid level pipe, and connecting pipes are provided at both ends of the liquid level pipe, and the oil pot and the liquid level pipe are connected through the connecting pipes.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the fuel filling port is fixedly connected to the bottom of the oil pot.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the coupling passes through the side surface of the main pump body and is fixedly connected to the bearing at one end of the inner cavity of the main pump body.

[0011] The utility model provides a centrifugal pump with mechanical seal lubrication. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0012] 1. A centrifugal pump with mechanical seal lubrication, the lubricating oil contained in the oil pot enters the inner cavity of the main pump body from the inside of the refueling port. When the motor drives the bearing to rotate, the lubricating oil will be evenly covered on the surface of the bearing due to the rotation of the bearing, reducing the friction between the bearing and the inner cavity of the main pump body when rotating, avoiding damage to the bearing and extending the service life of the centrifugal pump.

[0013] 2. A centrifugal pump with mechanical seal lubrication, through a liquid level tube parallel to the oil pot, the lubricating oil contained in the oil pot is consistent in height with the lubricating oil in the liquid level tube. When the height of the lubricating oil in the liquid level tube drops, it indicates that the amount of lubricating oil in the oil pot is gradually decreasing due to use. When the liquid level signal device set on the top of the liquid level tube detects that the liquid level of the lubricating oil in the liquid level tube is insufficient, lubricating oil is added to the interior of the oil pot through a water pump to avoid the lack of oil in the oil pot during use, which makes it impossible to lubricate the internal bearings.
