[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water pump technology, specifically to an impeller sealing structure for a high-efficiency heating water pump. Background Technology
[0002] A water heater pump is a device specifically designed to transport hot water. Its main function is to convert heat energy from a low-temperature heat source into heat energy from a high-temperature heat source to meet the hot water demand in various situations. During installation, it is often necessary to seal the impeller and other parts to prevent air or water leakage. However, existing impeller sealing structures have some shortcomings, such as:
[0003] A centrifugal pump impeller sealing structure, application number CN202323012240.7, is described. This device uses first grooves that are all annular and coaxial with the impeller, with several first grooves arranged along the direction close to the suction port. This can reduce leakage at the pump inlet. However, in actual use, the impeller may rotate at high speed, causing fluid splashing. This may result in fluid leakage at the gaps when the device is connected.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a high-efficiency impeller seal structure for a heating water pump to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0040] The volute body 1 has a housing 7 on its outer side, and the housing 7 is a main equipment housing. The impeller sealing structure is located inside the housing 7. The top of the volute body 1 is fitted and fixedly connected to the housing 7.
[0041] The volute body 1 includes a volute cover 101, and an array of buffer pads 102 are provided on the outer side of the volute cover 101.

The impeller cover 3 has a connecting shaft 4 at the bottom, and the top of the connecting shaft 4 is fixedly connected to the impeller cover 3. The connecting shaft 4 has a connecting core 5 inside at the bottom, and the bottom of the connecting core 5 can be connected to the equipment at the bottom of the housing 7.
[0043] The inner side of the top of the housing 7 is provided with a volute groove 8, and the volute groove 8 can be connected to the outside of the volute body 1. When the volute body 1 is connected to the volute groove 8, the buffer pad 102 will be in a squeezed state and sealed and fixed to the volute groove 8. The top of the housing 7 is provided with a shock-absorbing pad 9, and the shock-absorbing pad 9 is located on the top of the volute groove 8.
[0044] Example 2: This example discloses another connection method for the impeller cover 3, which differs from that in Example 1, as follows: Figure 7-8 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: the impeller body 301 is fixedly connected to the fixed shaft 302, and the top of the fixed shaft 302 is provided with a spring shaft 303, and the outer side of the spring shaft 303 is provided with a locking block 304; the locking block 304 can be snapped and fixedly connected with the impeller inner groove 203 provided inside the impeller upper cover 2, and the spring shaft 303 can drive the locking block 304 to retract and unfold.
