TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to impeller shaft hole pressure test technical field especially relates to a kind of impeller shaft hole air pressure leak detection structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] The impeller of centrifugal pump is generally a cast part, and casting defects such as shrinkage cavity and crack are likely to occur inside. When the defects penetrate the shaft hole of the impeller and the outer surface, liquid will enter the shaft hole. For chemical pumps, the shaft is a dry shaft, i.e., the shaft does not come into contact with the medium. If the impeller shaft hole has defects, the medium will come into contact with the shaft, corrode the shaft, and even leak to the environment along the surface of the shaft.
[0003] The impeller casting is directly machined, and the traditional pump set is tested after being assembled. The disadvantage is that when leakage is found during the test of the entire machine, the disassembly and reassembly work is heavy, and it is necessary to verify whether the leaking part is the shaft or the impeller, i.e., the sealing gasket. If it is determined that the impeller is defective, the repair of the impeller will also affect the assembly fit size accuracy. In addition, some manufacturers have a part air pressure test process, which requires a special pressure testing machine and a method of pouring soap water on the workpiece to determine whether the shaft hole leaks. Some positions are not visible or not obvious to the naked eye, and the error is large and the cost is high. SUMMARY
[0004] The utility model aims at providing an impeller shaft hole air pressure leak detection structure that can detect the sealing degree of the impeller shaft hole in advance and reduce the subsequent assembly and disassembly workload.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides an impeller shaft hole air pressure leak detection structure, which comprises an impeller, a pull rod, a sealing assembly, and a tail cover.
[0006] The tail cover is arranged at the tail of the impeller, and the tail cover is coaxially arranged with the impeller. The pull rod is fixed by a nut after penetrating the shaft holes of the impeller and the tail cover.
[0007] The overlapping surface between the tail cover and the impeller, the end of the shaft hole of the impeller and the end of the pull rod, and the tail cover and the pull rod are sealed by the sealing assembly.
[0008] An air inlet is formed in the side surface of the tail cover, and the air inlet communicates with the cavity between the impeller and the tail cover and the pull rod.
[0009] Further, the first end of the pull rod is a sealing plate, and the diameter of the sealing plate is greater than the diameter of the shaft hole in the middle of the impeller.
[0010] The tail end of the pull rod is provided with a thread matched with the nut.
[0011] Further, the sealing assembly comprises an O-ring, a first sealing gasket, and a second sealing gasket.
[0012] The O-ring seal is fitted onto the pull rod and is located between the pull rod and the tail cap to achieve a seal. The sealing position is closer to the tail end of the pull rod than the air inlet position.
[0013] The first sealing gasket is used to seal between the lap surface of the tail cover and the impeller;
[0014] The second sealing gasket is placed between the sealing plate and the first end of the impeller shaft hole.
[0015] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the second sealing gasket is the same as the outer diameter of the sealing plate, and the inner diameter of the second sealing gasket is the same as the diameter of the rod body.
[0016] Furthermore, the inner surface of the tail cap is provided with a groove that mates with the O-ring.
