DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail by specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present application from the disclosed content of the specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] Referring to the drawings accompanying Figures 1-5 The present application provides a kind of integral type full cast copper crank connecting rod for plunger pump, including the connecting rod 3 for connecting small end 1 and large end 2, connecting rod 3, large end 2 and small end 1 are all made of copper alloy material, and two groups of auxiliary parts for reducing friction loss are arranged in large end 2.

[0029] Each group of auxiliary parts includes self-lubricating bushing 4 arranged in the inside of large end 2, self-lubricating bushing 4 is made of graphene material, heat-conducting ring 5 is installed on the side of self-lubricating bushing 4 close to large end 2, and high-heat layer 6 is arranged between heat-conducting ring 5 and self-lubricating bushing 4, high-heat layer 6 is coated on the outside of self-lubricating bushing 4 by aluminum nitride material, two heat sinks 7 are installed on the side of heat-conducting ring 5 away from self-lubricating bushing 4, and two heat sinks 7 are symmetrically distributed about the center axis of heat-conducting ring 5.

[0030] By adopting the copper alloy material with good physical and chemical properties to make the big end 2, the small end 1 and the connecting rod 3, the big end 2, the small end 1 and the connecting rod 3 have excellent fatigue resistance, which means that the connecting rod 3 can still maintain good working condition under long-time and high-load working conditions and is not prone to fatigue fracture. At the same time, the hardness of the copper alloy is relatively high, so that the big end 2, the small end 1 and the connecting rod 3 have better wear resistance when contacting with other components. This helps to reduce the wear of the big end 2, the small end 1 and the connecting rod 3 during use and prolong the service life thereof. The copper alloy can still maintain good physical and chemical properties under high-temperature environment, so that the big end 2, the small end 1 and the connecting rod 3 can also maintain stable performance under high-temperature conditions. This is particularly important for mechanical devices that need to work in high-temperature environment. By canceling the design of the bearing bush, the friction and wear between the big end 2, the small end 1 and the connecting rod 3 and other components are reduced, thereby reducing the failure rate and maintenance cost of the mechanical device. Through the simplified structure of the connecting rod 3 and the high-quality copper alloy material, the big end 2, the small end 1 and the connecting rod 3 can more smoothly and efficiently transmit power during operation. This helps to improve the overall efficiency and performance of the mechanical device.

[0031] Further, by adopting the graphene material to make the self-lubricating bushing 4, the self-lubricating bushing 4 can form a directional sliding surface during friction by the layered structure of graphene, achieving a lubrication effect similar to a "molecular bearing", thereby reducing wear and prolonging the service life. At the same time, the high-thermal-conductivity aluminum nitride material is adopted to make the high-thermal-layer 6, which can conduct heat from the self-lubricating bushing 4 to the heat-conducting ring 5, and the heat-conducting ring 5 can then dissipate heat with the help of the heat-dissipating plate 7 in contact with the external environment. In this way, the heat generated by friction can be quickly conducted out, reducing the temperature of the friction area of the connecting rod 3 and avoiding the accumulation of heat to cause equipment wear.

[0032] At the same time, in order to facilitate the maintenance of the auxiliary parts, it is necessary to realize the convenient disassembly and assembly of the auxiliary parts. As shown in Figure 1 and 2 , the big end 2 includes a fixed end 8 and a movable end 9, the fixed end 8 is arranged at the top of the movable end 9, and the top of the fixed end 8 is fixed together with the bottom of the connecting rod 3; the fixed end 8 and the movable end 9 are both provided with a ring groove 10 on the side close to each other, and the fixed end 8 and the movable end 9 are both provided with two spaced-apart embedded holes 11 on the side away from each other, the embedded holes 11 are in communication with the ring groove 10; the heat-conducting ring 5 and the self-lubricating bushing 4 are both arranged inside the ring groove 10, and the heat-dissipating plate 7 is arranged inside the embedded hole 11; the fixed end 8 and the movable end 9 form the big end 2, so that the fixed end 8 and the movable end 9 are of a detachable structure, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the movable end 9 and the fixed end 8 by the workers, so that there is enough space to assemble the auxiliary parts inside the ring groove 10 and the embedded hole 11, and the detachable structure of the movable end 9 and the fixed end 8 can facilitate the replacement when a single structure is damaged, without the need for overall replacement, thereby reducing the use cost.

[0033] Assembling the fixed end 8 and the movable end 9, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the structure of both, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the fixed end 8 is provided with a fixed seat 12 on both sides of the bottom end, and the fixed seat 12 is provided with a positioning hole 13 and a fixed hole 14 which are connected and communicated, and the fixed hole 14 is arranged at the top of the positioning hole 13. The movable end 9 is provided with a movable seat 15 on both sides of the top end, and the movable seat 15 is provided with a movable hole 16 on the outside, and the movable hole 16 is provided with a positioning ring 17 on the inside, and the positioning ring 17 extends to the inside of the positioning hole 13 at the top end.

Through the correspondence of the positioning column and the positioning hole 13, the movable end 9 can be precisely assembled to the bottom of the fixed end 8. Then, the fastening bolt 18 is operated to be assembled to the inside of the fixed hole 14 through the movable hole 16. By the threaded connection of the fastening bolt 18 and the fixed hole 14, the movable end 9 can be fixed to the bottom of the fixed end 8, so as to ensure the connection stability between the movable end 9 and the fixed end 8. At the same time, by the assembly mode of the fastening bolt 18, it is also convenient to disassemble and maintain the movable end 9 and the fixed end 8.

[0034] When assembling the auxiliary part to the large end 2, it is necessary to ensure the connection stability between the auxiliary part and the large end 2, such as Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the fixed end 8 and the movable end 9 are provided with a plurality of spaced distribution assembly holes 19 on the front and rear sides. Each assembly hole 19 is provided with an assembly bolt 20 for fastening the self-lubricating bushing 4 on the inside. By fixing the self-lubricating bushing 4 through the assembly bolt 20, the connection tightness between the self-lubricating bushing 4 and the large end 2 can be ensured, so as to avoid the separation of the self-lubricating bushing 4. At the same time, it is also convenient to disassemble the assembly bolt 20 to take down the auxiliary part for maintenance.
