These main pumps usually have a large design flow and lift to ensure the operation efficiency and capacity of the sewage treatment plant. Before the main pump is started, cooling water needs to be injected into the packing to fully wet the packing. Specifically, tap water is pumped into the main pump packing through the cooling water pipeline by the booster pump for lubrication and cooling of the main pump packing, and then discharged to the bottom of the main pump. The whole lubrication and cooling process takes about 200 seconds, which is a long time, affecting the start-up time of the main pump. Especially during the flood season or equipment maintenance period, if the upstream water volume suddenly increases and additional pumps are needed, the response time of the main pump start-up is long, which has a certain impact on maintaining the stability of the front pool level.

[0033] Embodiment one

[0034] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the embodiment provides a water supply system for main pump packing lubrication, which comprises:

[0035] A first water supply pipeline is used for conveying tap water into the packing cavity of the main pump 100. The first water supply pipeline comprises a first main pipeline 11 and a plurality of first branch pipelines 12. One end of each first branch pipeline 12 is connected to the first main pipeline 11, and the other end of each first branch pipeline 12 is connected to the packing cavity of the main pump 100 correspondingly.

[0036] A second water supply pipeline comprises a second main pipeline 21 and a plurality of second branch pipelines 22. One end of each second branch pipeline 22 is connected to the second main pipeline 21, and the other end of each second branch pipeline 22 is connected to the first branch pipeline 12 through a tee joint. The second main pipeline 21 is used for conveying pre-pool water from a pump station pre-pool to the second branch pipeline 22, so that the tap water and the pre-pool water can both lubricate and cool the packing in the packing cavity of the main pump. The use priority of the pre-pool water is higher than that of the tap water.

[0037] Further, the first branch pipeline 12 is provided with a first valve 120 at the segment between the tee joint and the first main pipeline 11, and the second branch pipeline 22 is provided with a second valve 220 at the segment between the tee joint and the second main pipeline 21. The first valve 120 and the second valve 220 are used for adjusting the flow of the tap water and the pre-pool water respectively. The second valve 220 is in a normally open state, so that the packing of the main pump is always in a soaked state, reducing the waiting time when the main pump is started. When the pre-pool water supply is insufficient or an emergency occurs, the tap water supply is switched back. The pump station pre-pool structure is a complete collection pool. After sewage passes through the grid, it is immersed in the pump station pre-pool. The pre-pool water in the pump station pre-pool has been subjected to preliminary purification treatment, which does not consume additional funds and can greatly reduce costs.

[0038] The first valve 120 is a one-way valve, and the second valve 220 can be a common electric valve. Because the cleanliness of the pre-pool water is lower than that of the tap water, the use of a one-way valve can effectively prevent the pre-pool water from flowing into the tap water pipeline. Of course, the first valve 120 and the second valve 220 can both be one-way valves to prevent the two cooling water pipelines from flowing into each other.

[0039] In addition, since the leakage amounts of the cooling water of the multiple main pumps are different, and the added water supply pipelines have near ends and far ends respectively in terms of pipeline positions, the pressure of the near end cooling water pipeline is relatively large, and the excessive cooling water of the packing cooling water supply is prone to splashing out with the bearing rotation, the pressure of the far end pipeline is relatively small, and the insufficient water supply may affect the packing and bearing cooling. By adding the first valve and the second valve, the cooling water supply of each main pump is independently adjusted, the water inlet adjusting valve of the near end main pump can be adjusted to a relatively small opening, and the water inlet adjusting valve of the far end main pump can be adjusted to a relatively large position or even fully open. Through multiple experiments and manual adjustment, the appropriate cooling water adjusting valve opening of each main pump is found.

[0040] Further, the water supply system further comprises a third water supply pipeline for conveying tap water into the packing cavity of the main pump through an independent pipeline; the third water supply pipeline comprises a third main pipeline 31 and multiple third branch pipelines 32, one end of the third branch pipeline 32 is connected to the third main pipeline 31, and the other end of the third branch pipeline 32 is connected to the packing cavity of the main pump 100 correspondingly; the third water supply pipeline is not communicated with the first and second water supply pipelines, so as to serve as a standby water supply pipeline. When the communication of the first and second water supply pipelines needs to be maintained, the third water supply pipeline will not be affected, and the main pump can still be lubricated, so that the normal operation of the main pump is not affected.

[0041] Further, the main pump 100 is located in a pump house, multiple main pumps are arranged in the pump house, a protective cage is arranged around the main pump, and the first water supply pipeline, the second water supply pipeline and the third water supply pipeline are arranged along a steel frame structure, and the first branch pipeline, the second branch pipeline and the third branch pipeline pass through the protective cage and are connected to the main pump.

[0042] The above water supply system greatly reduces the consumption of tap water, because the front pool water of the pump station front pool is introduced into the main pump for packing lubrication. Before the improvement, the daily average consumption of tap water was about 200m 3 per day in non-flood season and about 250m 3 per day in flood season. After the addition of the front pool water supply, the daily average consumption of tap water is about 100m 3 per day in non-flood season and about 120m 3 per day in flood season, which is reduced by 50% compared with the original daily water consumption. If the water saving effect is more significant after long-term use.

[0043] Before the improvement, the main pump needs to be filled with tap water before running, and the waiting time of this step is about 200 seconds. The main pump is started to run after the cooling water signal that meets the opening of the pump appears in the automatic control system. Because the upstream water quantity often increases suddenly during the flood season, the liquid level of the front pool rises rapidly, and the pump needs to be added. If the main pump that is opened fails to start after the 200-second waiting time, another pump needs to be opened again, which has a certain influence on the stable control of the liquid level of the front pool. After the improvement, the water in the front pool is always in a supply state, and the time for opening the pump can be reduced to about 60-100 seconds. When the opened main pump fails, the response speed of opening the second main pump is greatly improved.

[0044] The following Table 1 is a comparison of production data before and after the addition of the front pool water supply pipeline:

[0045] Table 1 Comparison of test conditions before and after the improvement

[0046]

[0047] From the monthly water consumption, the tap water consumption of the main pump house is about 6,000 m 3 per month before the improvement in the non-flood season and about 7,500 m 3 per month in the flood season. After the improvement, a water taking point is added to the front pool, and the water in the front pool is connected to the packing tunnel of the main pump packing through the second water supply pipeline and kept flowing. The packing of the main pump is always in a wet state, which can greatly reduce the waiting time when the main pump is opened. Moreover, after the water source of the front pool replaces the tap water, the tap water consumption is greatly reduced. In addition, because the packing is always in a wet state, the wear during starting is almost zero, and the replacement cycle of the packing is prolonged.

[0048] In summary, the utility model provides a kind of water supply system for main pump packing lubrication, the water supply system includes first water supply pipeline and second water supply pipeline, first water supply pipeline is used to deliver tap water to the packing tunnel of main pump, second water supply pipeline is used to deliver the front pool water from the front pool of pump station to packing tunnel, so that tap water and front pool water can lubricate and cool the packing in the packing tunnel of main pump, and the use priority of front pool water is higher than that of tap water, which replaces tap water with the water source of front pool, thereby greatly reducing tap water consumption and reducing costs. At the same time, because the front pool water is in an open state, the packing of the main pump is always in a wet state, which reduces the waiting time when the main pump is opened and improves the response speed of opening the pump. In addition, because the packing of the main pump is always in a wet state, the wear of the packing during starting is greatly reduced, and the replacement cycle of the packing is prolonged.

[0049] The above embodiments only exemplarily illustrate the principles and effects of the present application, and are not used to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical thought disclosed by the present application should be covered by the claims of the present application.
