DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will give the preferred embodiment of the utility model in combination with the drawings to explain the technical scheme of the utility model in detail.

[0024] Figure 1 It is one of overall structure schematic views of the utility model, as shown in Figure 1 The utility model provides a high temperature molten salt pump of self-balancing sealing, modularization, support integrated structure, including discharge seat 01, modular outer pipe part 300, pump head part 100 etc. Pump head part 100 is installed in the liquid level below molten salt tank, and discharge seat 01 is installed above bottom plate 02, and discharge seat 01 and pump head part 100 are connected using several modular outer pipe parts 300, and the number of modular outer pipe part 300 can be changed according to the installation depth of molten salt pump.

[0025] The inside between adjacent modular outer pipe parts 300 is connected through sleeve coupling part 200, the inside between modular outer pipe part 300 and pump head part 100 is connected through sleeve coupling part 200, and the inside between modular outer pipe part 300 and discharge seat 01 is connected through sleeve coupling part 200.

[0026] The outside between adjacent modular outer pipe parts 300 is connected through flange connection, the outside between modular outer pipe part 300 and pump head part 100 is connected through flange, and the outside between modular outer pipe part 300 and discharge seat 01 is connected through flange.

[0027] The discharge seat 01 below is provided with a self-balancing sealing structure, as shown in Figure 2-1As shown, the self-balancing sealing structure comprises an upper shaft 05, a branch pipe 06, a drain pipe 07, a snap ring 04, a balancing sleeve 306, a wear-resistant ring 307 and a split screw 305; the balancing sleeve 306 is fixed on the upper shaft 05 by the snap ring 04 and a key 308, and the upper shaft 05 drives the balancing sleeve 306 to rotate; the wear-resistant ring 307 is fixed on the branch pipe 06 by the split screw 305, and the drain pipe 07 is welded on the branch pipe 06, and the branch pipe 06 is fixed on the discharge seat 01 through a web plate.

[0028] As shown in Figure 2-1 and 2-2 shown, the high-pressure zone medium leaks into the inner cavity of the branch pipe 06 through the extremely small gap formed by the balancing sleeve 306 and the wear-resistant ring 307, and the leaked medium flows back to the molten salt storage tank through the drain pipe 07, ensuring that the conveying medium does not leak to the environment, achieving the effect of sealing.

[0029] As shown in Figure 2-2 , the balancing sleeve 306 forms an acting force from the high-pressure zone to the low-pressure zone due to the pressure difference before and after, and this acting force can balance the great axial force generated when the water pump impeller works.

[0030] As shown in Figure 3 , the modular outer pipe component comprises an outer pipe 301, a middle shaft 302, a wear-resistant ring support 303, a wear-resistant ring 307, a balancing sleeve 306, a snap ring 04, a key 308, a positioning screw 304 and a split screw 305, the balancing sleeve 306 is fixed on the middle shaft 302 by the snap ring 04 and the key 308 and rotates with the middle shaft 302, the wear-resistant ring 307 is installed in the wear-resistant ring support 303 and is fixed by the split screw 305, and the wear-resistant ring support 303 is fixed on the outer pipe 301 by the positioning screw 304.

[0031] As shown in Figure 4 , compared with the integrated welded structure, the wear-resistant ring support 303 has a simple casting structure and low material cost; the processing difficulty is low, the processing time and cost are reduced, the processing cost is effectively reduced; the modular design facilitates quick disassembly and assembly, reduces the maintenance difficulty and cost, ensures the precision requirements such as the concentricity of parts, components and systems, and improves the product performance; has good damping performance, reduces the influence of mechanical vibration on the guide bearing, and prolongs the service life of the equipment.

[0032] The sleeve coupling component 200 is composed of a sleeve coupling 201 and a clamping sleeve 202, and the clamping sleeve 202 is a half-split structure and is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0033] The specific working process of the utility model is as follows:

[0034] As shown in Figure 2-2As shown, after the high-pressure zone fluid reaches the high-speed rotating balance sleeve, most of the conveying medium flows into the system pipeline through the discharge seat, and only a small amount of medium leaks into the branch cavity, then flows back to the molten salt storage tank through the return pipe, ensuring that the conveying medium does not leak to the environment, achieving the effect of sealing. The balance sleeve forms an acting force from the high-pressure zone to the low-pressure zone due to the pressure difference before and after, and this acting force can balance the great axial force generated during the operation of the water pump impeller.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the sleeve coupling component is axially positioned at both ends by a snap ring 04.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the flange connection surface is sealed with a wrapped gasket 03.
