[0003] In order to ensure that axial flow pump can work normally and efficiently, avoid any possible damage, usually a filter screen is installed at its water inlet end.The main role of this filter screen is to intercept and filter out impurities in water to prevent these substances from entering the pump interior.However, with the passage of time, various impurities such as silt, leaves, plastic sheets and the like will gradually accumulate on the surface of the filter screen, and the accumulation of these impurities will significantly reduce the passing area of water flow, leading to increased water flow resistance, and further affecting the water pumping efficiency of the axial flow pump.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for an adjustable filter structure at the inlet of an axial flow pump, including a pump body 1, an inlet 2 fixedly installed on the pump body 1, a pump shaft 3 rotatably installed inside the pump body 1, an impeller 4 fixedly installed on the pump shaft 3, a positioning component 5 connected to the inlet 2, and a filter mechanism 6 installed inside the mounting base 501. Through the cooperation of the positioning component 5 and the filter mechanism 6, the filter position of the strip filter 602 can be adjusted, so that the unblocked strip filter 602 part moves to the water passage hole 503 for filtration, without stopping the machine to clean the filter surface, thus improving the pumping efficiency.
[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the positioning component 5 includes a mounting base 501 fixedly installed on the water inlet 2. The mounting base 501 has mounting chambers 502 at both the upper and lower ends. A water passage hole 503 is opened in the middle of the mounting base 501. A cleaning scraper 505 is provided in the water passage hole 503. A sealing ring 504 is provided in the water passage hole 503. A filter screen groove 506 is opened in the mounting base 501. A connecting pipe port 507 is provided at the water passage hole 503 on the mounting base 501. A slot is opened at the edge of the water passage hole 503. The sealing ring 504 is installed in the water passage hole 503 through the slot.
[0024] Specifically, when the pump shaft 3 begins to rotate, it effectively drives the impeller 4 to rotate inside the pump body 1. This rotational motion allows the pump to draw in water and pump it through the pump body 1. Before entering the pump body 1, the water flows through a water passage 503, which contains a strip filter 602. The strip filter 602 meticulously filters the pumped water, ensuring that no possible impurities enter the pump body 1. Furthermore, during the movement of the strip filter 602, the end of the cleaning scraper 505 comes into close contact with the surface of the strip filter 602. This contact helps to scrape away any impurities that may accumulate on the surface of the strip filter 602, thus keeping the strip filter 602 clean.
[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the filter mechanism 6 includes a first take-up roller 601 and a second take-up roller 603 rotatably mounted in the mounting chamber 502. A strip filter screen 602 is provided between the first take-up roller 601 and the second take-up roller 603. A movable shaft 604 is fixedly mounted on both the first take-up roller 601 and the second take-up roller 603. A protective cover 606 is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting base 501. A drive motor 605 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the protective cover 606. A drive shaft 607 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor 605. Helical gears 608 are fixedly mounted on both the drive shaft 607 and the movable shaft 604, and the helical gears 608 mesh together in pairs. A bearing is provided on the protective cover 606. The drive shaft 607 is rotatably mounted in the protective cover 606 through the bearing. A coupling is provided on the output end of the drive motor 605. The drive shaft 607 is fixedly mounted to the output end of the drive motor 605 through the coupling.
[0026] Specifically, when the drive motor 605 is started, it will drive the drive shaft 607 to rotate. As the drive shaft 607 rotates, the movable shaft 604 will also rotate under the synergistic effect of the helical gear 608. During the rotation of the movable shaft 604, it will further drive the first take-up roller 601 and the second take-up roller 603 to rotate together. With the rotation of the first take-up roller 601 and the second take-up roller 603, they will pull the strip filter screen 602 to move accordingly. Through this movement, the filtration position of the strip filter screen 602 can be effectively adjusted, allowing the unclogged portion of the strip filter screen 602 to move to the water passage 503 for filtration, eliminating the need to stop the machine to clean the filter screen surface and improving pumping efficiency.
[0027] Working principle: During use, the mounting base 501 can be installed on the inlet 2 of the water pump body 1 through the connecting pipe 507. The water pump shaft 3 drives the impeller 4 to rotate inside the water pump body 1, thereby attracting water flow through the water pump body 1. Before passing through the water pump body 1, the water flow passes through the strip filter 602 in the water passage hole 503, thereby filtering the pumped water and preventing impurities from entering the water pump body 1. When large impurities accumulate on the strip filter 602, the drive motor 605 can be started. After starting the drive motor 605, it will drive the drive shaft 607 to rotate. Under the action of the helical gear 608, the drive shaft 607... 07 will drive the movable shaft 604 to rotate. When the movable shaft 604 rotates, it will drive the first take-up roller 601 and the second take-up roller 603 to rotate. When the first take-up roller 601 and the second take-up roller 603 rotate, they will drive the strip filter screen 602 to move, thereby adjusting the filtration position of the strip filter screen 602. This allows the unblocked part of the strip filter screen 602 to move to the water passage hole 503 for filtration, eliminating the need to stop the machine to clean the filter screen surface and improving the water pumping efficiency. During the movement of the strip filter screen 602, the end of the cleaning scraper 505 will abut against the surface of the strip filter screen 602, thereby cleaning the impurities on the surface of the strip filter screen 602.
[0028] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
