[0048] The existing motor sealing structure of canned motor circulating pumps mainly involves setting a sealing ring between the shielding sleeve and the pump casing. The shielding sleeve and the pump casing are pressed together to seal the sealing ring and prevent leakage of the pumped medium. However, due to the temperature of the pumped medium, air entering the shielding sleeve from the outside will condense between the motor and the casing, leading to risks such as corrosion and burnout inside the motor, which in turn affects the service life of the circulating pump.

[0049] This invention proposes a shielded circulating pump that solves the problem that the existing shielded circulating pump sealing structure cannot prevent external water vapor from entering the motor.

[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 4In one embodiment of the present invention, the shielded circulating pump includes a housing, a pump casing 100, and a stator 200, a rotor 300, a shielding sleeve 400, an electrical control component 900, an impeller assembly, etc. disposed within the housing.

[0051] The pump casing 100 has an inlet and an outlet. An impeller is disposed inside the pump casing 100. A rotor 300 is disposed inside the stator 200. A shielding sleeve 400 is disposed between the rotor 300 and the stator 200. The shaft of the impeller assembly is connected to the rotor 300. An electrical control assembly 900 is electrically connected to the stator 200 and the rotor 300.

[0052] To seal the pumping medium inside the pump chamber and prevent leakage, and to seal the inside of the motor (outside the shielding sleeve 400) to prevent external splashing water and air (which may form condensation inside the motor due to the temperature difference of the internal pumping medium) from entering the motor.

[0053] A first sealing element 500 is provided between the pump housing 100 and the shielding sleeve 400. The first sealing element 500 includes a first sealing section 510 and a second sealing section 520 that are annular. The second sealing section 520 is located on the outer edge of the first sealing section 510 and faces the first connecting end 201. The inner diameter of the second sealing section 520 is larger than the inner diameter of the first sealing section 510.

[0054] The stator 200 has internal windings for generating a rotating magnetic field to drive the rotor 300 to rotate. The first connection end 201 is the part that connects the stator 200 to the pump casing 100.

[0055] The rotor 300 is a rotatable component located inside the stator 200. It is usually composed of an iron core and windings and rotates under the influence of the rotating magnetic field generated by the stator 200.

[0056] The shielding sleeve 400 is a sleeve made of non-magnetic material placed between the rotor 300 and the stator 200. It is used to isolate the electromagnetic field between the stator 200 and the rotor 300, and at the same time protect the inside of the motor from the corrosion of the pumping medium. The fixed section 410 is part of the shielding sleeve 400.

[0057] The shielding sleeve 400 has a fixed section 410, which is located between the first connecting end 201 and the pump housing 100; a first sealing section 510 is located between the fixed section 410 and the pump housing 100; the fixed section 410 and the pump housing 100 press the first sealing section 510 to seal the pumping medium inside the pump chamber and prevent leakage of the pumping medium.

[0058] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4On the axial cross-section of the first seal 500, the first sealing segment 510 and the second sealing segment 520 are L-shaped, with the first sealing segment 510 being the vertical segment of the L-shape and the second sealing segment 520 being the horizontal segment of the L-shape; that is, the first sealing segment 510 and the second sealing segment 520 are two sealing rings, with the second sealing segment 520 extending from the outer edge of the first sealing segment 510. The first connecting end 201 is provided with a mounting ring groove 210, the fixing segment 410 is located within the mounting ring groove 210, and at least a portion of the second sealing segment 520 is located within the mounting ring groove 210. 10. To seal the gap between the fixed section 410 and the stator 200; when external air enters from the pump casing 100, because the fixed section 410 is located inside the second sealing section 520, it is equivalent to covering the fixed section 410; blocking the air from further entering the rotor 300 through the shielding sleeve 400 through the gap between the fixed section 410 and the stator 200; thus achieving a seal on the inside of the motor and the outside of the shielding sleeve 400, preventing external splash water from entering the motor, and at the same time preventing external air from entering the motor and forming condensation inside the motor under the influence of the temperature difference of the pumping medium.

[0059] The technical solution of this utility model adopts a first sealing element 500 between the shielding sleeve 400 and the pump housing 100. This includes a first sealing section 510 and a second sealing section 520. The first sealing section 510 is responsible for directly sealing the gap between the fixed section 410 of the shielding sleeve 400 and the pump housing 100 to prevent leakage of the pumping medium. The second sealing section 520 is located on the outer edge of the first sealing section 510 and faces the first connecting end 201 of the stator 200. Its inner diameter is larger than that of the first sealing section 510. An mounting ring groove 210 is provided on the first connecting end 201. The fixed section 410 of the shielding sleeve 400 does not exceed the area defined by the mounting ring groove 210. At the same time, at least a part of the second sealing section 520 is provided in the mounting ring groove 210. The second sealing section 520 is equivalent to covering the fixed section 410, forming an effective sealing barrier. This effectively prevents external air from entering the motor from the gap between the pump housing 100 and the stator 200, greatly reducing the risk of corrosion and burnout of the motor due to air ingress.

[0060] In one embodiment, the stator 200 has an annular protrusion 220 at the first connecting end 201. The annular protrusion 220 extends beyond the fixing section 410, and a mounting annular groove 210 is defined between the fixing section 410 and the annular protrusion 220. As the core of the electromagnetic components, the stator 200's first connecting end 201 is not only responsible for connecting with the pump housing 100, but also bears the installation and positioning functions of other key components. In order to construct an effective sealing barrier, the stator 200 is specially provided with an annular protrusion 220 at the first connecting end 201. The annular protrusion 220 is close to the outer edge of the stator 200 and extends vertically along the first connecting end 201, forming an annular platform or protrusion. The outer edge of the annular protrusion 220 is higher than the fixed section 410, and an annular space is naturally formed between the fixed section 410 and the annular protrusion 220, namely the mounting annular groove 210. In order to ensure the sealing effect, the second sealing section 520 is in clearance fit with the fixed section 410 and the annular protrusion 220; or the second sealing section 520 abuts against the annular protrusion 220, that is, abuts against the groove wall of the mounting annular groove 210.

[0061] In other embodiments, the mounting groove 210 is formed as a recess on the first connecting end 201.

[0062] Specifically, the length of the second sealing section 520 ranges from 0.5mm to 1mm, with a limit of 0.5mm to ensure a tight fit within the mounting ring groove 210. The 1mm maximum length limit is also based on practical application considerations. Furthermore, the length of the second sealing section 520 is closely related to its material and hardness. Seals of different materials and hardness may exhibit different sealing effects at the same length. Therefore, when selecting the length of the second sealing section 520, its material and hardness characteristics must be fully considered to ensure the reliability and durability of the sealing effect.

[0063] Reference Figure 3 Specifically, the first seal 500 also includes a mounting ring 530 located at the inner ring edge of the first sealing section 510 relative to the second sealing section 520. The mounting ring 530, located at the inner ring edge of the first sealing section 510, provides additional support and positioning points for the installation of the seal. Although the mounting ring 530 itself does not directly participate in the sealing process, its presence can further increase the contact area and tightness between the seal and the pump housing 100 and the stator 200. When the first seal 500 is equipped with the mounting ring 530, the mounting ring 530 is located at the inner ring edge of the first sealing section 510, while the second sealing section 520 is located at the outer ring edge of the first sealing section 510, and the overall cross-sectional shape of the first seal 500 will be Z-shaped.

[0064] Specifically, the inner annular opening of the first sealing section 510 has a guide section 540 that flares out toward the second sealing section 520; the guide section 540 flares out toward the second sealing section 520, forming a gradually increasing space. During installation, this design guides the seal to enter the predetermined position more smoothly and accurately; the presence of the guide section 540 makes the contact between the first sealing section 510 and the pump housing 100 or stator 200 tighter; when the seal is compressed, the guide section 540 ensures that the sealing surface fits more evenly onto the pump housing 100 or stator 200.

[0065] Specifically, the first sealing element 500 is a rubber component.

[0066] In addition to the first seal, the canned circulation pump also includes other seals to further ensure the sealing effect. Furthermore, the canned circulation pump also includes an electronic control assembly 900 and a second seal 600; the stator 200 has a second connection end 202 opposite to the first connection end 201; the second seal 600 is disposed between the electronic control assembly 900 and the second connection end 202.

[0067] The stator 200 forms an annular notch on the outer edge of the second connection end 202, and the electronic control component 900 forms an abutment part corresponding to the annular notch. The abutment part is located in the environmental notch, and the second seal 600 is deformed by the abutment part and the annular notch to achieve sealing.

[0068] Reference Figure 1 To facilitate the installation of the second seal 600, the second connecting end 202 is provided with a positioning ring groove, and the second seal 600 is disposed in the positioning ring groove; the opening of the positioning ring groove faces the abutment part, and the second seal 600 is installed in the positioning ring groove, partially protruding from the positioning ring groove; the abutment part is installed after the annular notch, and clamps the second seal 600 with the annular notch from top to bottom; in this way, the second seal 600 blocks external air from entering the pump body through the gap between the electronic control component 900 and the stator 200, which helps to prevent moisture, dust and other impurities in the external air from contaminating and damaging the pump body, thereby improving the pump's operating efficiency and lifespan.

[0069] Furthermore, the canned motor circulating pump also includes a third seal 700, which is located between the electrical control assembly 900 and the shielding sleeve 400. The shielding sleeve 400 is bent between the rotor 300 and the stator 200 to form a step. The third seal 700 is installed at this step, and the electrical control assembly 900 and the step press against the third seal 700, preventing external air or impurities from entering the pump body through the tiny gap between the electrical control assembly 900 and the shielding sleeve 400. The third seal 700 is typically made of a wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and somewhat elastic material to ensure it can withstand the mechanical stress and chemical corrosion during long-term pump operation while maintaining good sealing performance.

[0070] Furthermore, the canned motor circulating pump also includes a fourth seal 800, located at the end of the canned sleeve 400 furthest from the fixed section 410, to seal the pumped medium. The fourth seal 800, located at the end of the canned sleeve 400 furthest from the fixed section 410, primarily functions to seal the pumped medium. In the canned motor circulating pump, the pumped medium circulates within the pump body through a specific channel, and the fourth seal 800 is located at the end of this circulation channel, ensuring that the medium does not leak from the gap between the canned sleeve 400 and the pump body. The fourth seal 800 should ensure a tight fit between its contact surfaces with the canned sleeve 400 and the pump body, forming an effective sealing barrier.

[0071] This utility model also proposes an air conditioning device, which includes the above-mentioned shielded circulation pump. The specific structure of the shielded circulation pump is as described in the above embodiments. Since this air conditioning device adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0072] The air conditioning unit is a residential central air conditioning system, which achieves cooling or heating through the evaporation and condensation of refrigerant. This process requires a water circulation system to remove or provide heat. A shielded circulation pump drives the coolant (usually water or an aqueous glycol solution) to circulate between the evaporator, condenser, and other components of the air conditioning system. For example, in cooling mode, it pumps the high-temperature coolant, after absorbing heat from the indoor evaporator, to the outdoor condenser, where the heat is dissipated to the outside environment. In some central air conditioning systems with heating functions, the shielded circulation pump also circulates hot water. When the system switches to heating mode, the heat pump (if applicable) transfers heat to the coolant, and then the hot water is delivered to indoor radiators or underfloor heating pipes via a water circulation pump, thus providing indoor heating.

[0073] However, it is not limited to this. Shielded circulating pumps can also be used in household hot water circulation systems, small ground source heat pump systems, solar water heating systems, and other water circulation devices.

[0074] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
