[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a centrifugal pump axial force balancing device, including: a centrifugal pump housing 1 and a shaft 2 installed on the centrifugal pump housing 1, and a balance block 3 with adjustable balancing force installed on the shaft 2.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a mounting shaft hole 301 for mounting the balance block 3 is provided at the center of the balance block 3.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a number of adjustment components 303 are arranged at equal intervals at the edge of the balance block 3, and a number of mounting slots 302 corresponding to the adjustment components 303 are provided on the balance block 3.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the adjustment assembly 303 includes an adjustment bolt 3031. The end of the adjustment bolt 3031 is rotatably mounted on the side of the inner wall of the mounting groove 302 via a bearing. An adjustment block 3032 is threadedly connected to the adjustment bolt 3031. A threaded sleeve 3033 is provided on the adjustment block 3032 at a position corresponding to the adjustment bolt 3031 and is threadedly connected to the adjustment bolt 3031.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a threaded pin 304 for fixing the adjusting bolt 3031 is provided on the balance block 3 at the position corresponding to the adjusting bolt 3031. A threaded groove 3041 that meshes with the threaded pin 304 is provided on the balance block 3 at the position corresponding to the threaded pin 304. A limiting hole 3034 that matches the threaded pin 304 is provided on the adjusting bolt 3031 at the position corresponding to the threaded pin 304.

[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability limit after the adjusting bolt 3031 rotates is increased by setting the limit hole 3034.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a limit bearing sleeve 3035 is provided on the side of the balance block 3 at the position corresponding to the adjusting bolt 3031, which is rotatably connected to the adjusting bolt 3031.

[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability of the rotation of the adjusting bolt 3031 is increased by setting the limit bearing sleeve 3035.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the top and bottom of the adjusting block 3032 are fixedly connected to the limiting slider 3036, and the inner wall of the adjusting block 3032 and the position corresponding to the limiting slider 3036 are provided with a limiting groove 3037 that matches the limiting slider 3036.

[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting groove 3037 and the limiting slider 3036 are set to limit the adjustment block 3032, thereby increasing the stability of the adjustment block 3032.

[0042] In use, firstly, the position of the corresponding impeller can be adjusted according to actual needs by using the adjustable balance block 3 set on the shaft 2. Simply loosen the threaded pin 304 and make the threaded pin 304 disengage from the corresponding limit hole 3034, then rotate the adjusting bolt 3031, and under the action of the thread of the threaded sleeve 3033, adjust the position of the adjusting block 3032 from the center of the pump shaft. This adjusts the bias force of the corresponding impeller position and ensures that the bias force of each impeller is the same, thus reducing the wear of the pump shaft and ensuring the stability of the pump shaft operation.

[0043] The working principle of the centrifugal pump axial force balancing device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0044] Installation and Structure:

[0045] The balance block 3 is mounted on the shaft 2 through its central mounting hole 301, ensuring that it rotates synchronously with the shaft 2.

[0046] The edge of the balance block 3 is provided with equal-distancely arranged adjustment components 303. Each adjustment component 303 includes an adjustment bolt 3031, an adjustment block 3032, and related fixing and limiting structures.

[0047] The adjusting bolt 3031 is rotatably mounted in the mounting groove 302 of the balance block 3 via a bearing, ensuring smooth rotation.

[0048] The adjusting block 3032 is connected to the adjusting bolt 3031 via the threaded sleeve 3033, so that the adjusting block 3032 can move along the axial direction of the adjusting bolt 3031.

[0049] Adjustment process:

[0050] When it is necessary to adjust the position of the balance block 3 to balance the axial force, first loosen the threaded pin 304 of the fixing adjusting bolt 3031 so that it is disengaged from the limit hole 3034, thereby releasing the fixing of the adjusting bolt 3031.

[0051] Subsequently, by rotating the adjusting bolt 3031, the adjusting block 3032 is pushed or pulled along the axial direction of the adjusting bolt 3031 by utilizing the threaded connection between the threaded sleeve 3033 and the adjusting bolt 3031.

[0052] The movement of the adjusting block 3032 changes its position relative to the pump shaft center, thereby adjusting the bias force at the corresponding impeller position.

[0053] By adjusting multiple adjustment components 303, it can be ensured that each impeller is subjected to the same bias force, thereby achieving the purpose of balancing the axial force.

[0054] Limits and stability:

[0055] The design of the limit hole 3034 and the threaded pin 304 increases the stability limit after the adjusting bolt 3031 rotates, preventing it from loosening or shifting during operation.

[0056] The setting of the limit bearing sleeve 3035 improves the stability of the rotation of the adjusting bolt 3031 and reduces the risk of loosening due to vibration or impact.

[0057] The limiting slider 3036 and the limiting groove 3037 on the adjusting block 3032 cooperate with each other to limit the movement of the adjusting block 3032, ensuring its stability and accuracy during the adjustment process.

[0058] Effects and advantages:

[0059] By adjusting the position of the balance block 3, the axial force generated by the centrifugal pump during operation can be precisely balanced, reducing the wear of the pump shaft 2 and extending the service life of the pump.

[0060] The adjustment process of the balance block 3 is simple and quick, without the need to disassemble the pump body 1 or impeller and other components, which reduces maintenance costs and downtime.

[0061] The design of this device improves the stability and reliability of centrifugal pump operation and reduces the risk of failure and downtime caused by axial force imbalance.

However, as previously stated, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the forms disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments.
