[0019] The preferred embodiments of this utility model are given below with reference to the accompanying drawings to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model in detail.

[0020] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view illustrating the overall structure of this utility model, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown: This utility model proposes a high-efficiency single-stage pump with automatic flow regulation. The high-efficiency single-stage pump with automatic flow regulation includes: an integrated unit 1, a pump cover 4, a pump body 5, a base plate 7, an impeller 6, and a water-retaining ring 2. The water-retaining ring 2 is located between the integrated unit 1 and the pump cover 4 and is fixedly installed on the shaft of the integrated unit 1. The pump cover 4 and the pump body 5 are detachably connected together, and the pump body 5 is fixed to the base plate 7. A pressure tapping hole is provided on the drain flange of the pump body, and a pressure tapping hole plunger 9 is provided for the pressure tapping hole. In specific implementation, the pressure tapping hole plunger 9 in this utility model is a screw plug. An air release valve 10 is located at the air release hole position on the side of the flange connecting the pump cover 4 and the pump body 5. The motor shaft of the integrated unit is directly connected to the impeller, and the pump cover 4 is fixed to the integrated unit. The motor shaft of the integrated unit 1 is directly fixed to the impeller 6. A mutually fitting stop is provided between the pump cover 4 and the pump body 5, and a sealing ring 11 is provided at the stop position.

[0021] The integrated machine 1 in this utility model is an integrated machine that combines the functions of a permanent magnet motor and a frequency converter, and it is an integrated machine with built-in control functions.

[0022] The pump body 5 is equipped with a drain valve 8 for blocking the drain outlet. The drain valve 8 is located near the bottom plate 7.

[0023] In this invention, the distance between the drain valve 8 and the base plate 7 is 20-40cm. In practice, this parameter range can be changed to other ranges depending on the specific on-site requirements.

[0024] In this utility model, a mechanical seal 13 is provided between the pump cover 4 and the pump body 5. The pump cover 4 is fixed to the integrated machine 1 by fasteners 3, which are a combination of bolts, nuts and washers.

[0025] During installation, first, install the baffle ring 2 on the shaft of the integrated unit (permanent magnet motor + frequency converter) 1. Then, connect and fix the pump cover 4 to the integrated unit (permanent magnet motor + frequency converter) 1 using fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers) 3. Next, insert the mechanical seal 13 and impeller 6 onto the motor shaft and tighten them with locking screws 12. Then, install the O-ring 11 at the stop position of the pump cover 4. Then, connect the pump body 5 to the pump cover 4 using fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers) 3. Next, install the base plate 7 under the pump body. Finally, install the vent valve 10, pressure tap plunger 9, drain valve 8, and other accessories in their respective positions using threads. The integrated unit (permanent magnet motor + frequency converter) 1 is more efficient than a conventional YE3 motor because of its high energy conversion efficiency. It uses permanent magnets to provide the magnetic field, eliminating the need for excitation current and thus reducing losses. The direct connection of the motor shaft eliminates the transmission efficiency loss of the coupling, improving both lifespan and efficiency. The all-in-one unit (permanent magnet motor + frequency converter) has a built-in control module, which can automatically control the water pump to start, stop and change frequency according to the required logic without the need for a control cabinet, saving the cost and space of control cabinets and frequency converter cabinets.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages:

[0027] Superior Structure: Adopting an integrated unit (permanent magnet motor + frequency converter) and a direct-drive structure, the overall pump structure is simplified, the number of parts is reduced by about 30%, there are fewer failure points, it is more compact, the operation is more coordinated, and the operation is more stable.

[0028] Long lifespan: 1. The direct-drive structure reduces friction and wear between components, minimizing the possibility of failure and increasing service life. 2. The permanent magnet motor has a simpler structure, reducing some components (eliminating easily damaged parts such as slip rings and brushes), further reducing the possibility of failure, improving operational reliability and stability, extending the overall service life, and reducing maintenance costs and effort in later use. 3. The impeller is made of stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant, resulting in a longer service life and higher efficiency.

[0029] Lower energy consumption: 1. High energy conversion efficiency: Permanent magnet motors use permanent magnets to generate a magnetic field, unlike traditional asynchronous motors which rely on current to generate the magnetic field. This reduces excitation current consumption, thereby improving energy conversion efficiency and reducing energy waste. 2. Wider efficiency range: Permanent magnet motors exhibit very low efficiency drop-off under low load conditions. Compared to traditional asynchronous motors, their efficiency advantage is more pronounced under low and partial load conditions, further reducing energy waste. 3. Direct-drive structure: Eliminating the coupling reduces transmission efficiency and minimizes wear and efficiency losses between drive shafts.

[0030] Lower noise: 1. Permanent magnet motors generate less noise and vibration during operation, resulting in more stable operation and lower vibration. Experimental tests generally show that the noise level is 3-5 dB lower than that of asynchronous motors. 2. The direct-drive structure eliminates the bearing housing, resulting in better pump shaft coaxiality and lower vibration and noise.

[0031] Control optimization: The system adopts an integrated unit (permanent magnet motor + frequency converter). The frequency converter has its own control program, which can control constant pressure, constant temperature, constant pressure difference, constant temperature difference, constant flow, etc. On-site manual selection is available. The intelligent human-machine interface screen makes operation simple and convenient, saves debugging time, and meets the control requirements of closed-loop circulation systems such as HVAC process circulating water.

[0032] Smaller footprint: It adopts an integrated unit (permanent magnet motor + frequency converter), eliminating the need for frequency converter cabinets and control cabinets, thus saving floor space.

[0033] Lower cost: The integrated unit (permanent magnet motor + frequency converter) eliminates the need for frequency converter cabinet and control cabinet, saving the purchase cost of two cabinets, estimated at around 20-30%.

[0034] This invention provides a high-efficiency single-stage pump with automatic flow regulation, which has advantages such as simple structure, long service life, low energy consumption, low noise, excellent automatic control, low cost, ease of use, small footprint, and convenient maintenance. Compared with the conventional pump room water supply system that uses a YE3 asynchronous motor single-stage pump, frequency converter cabinet, and control cabinet, this invention has significant optimizations.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
