Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a motor protection structure for low-temperature corrosive and conductive media, and particularly to a motor protection technology for low-temperature media in corrosive and conductive environments. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, devices used for the liquefaction, storage, transportation, and chemical production of low-temperature corrosive and conductive media all employ magnetically driven cryogenic submersible pumps. These pumps are entirely submerged in the low-temperature corrosive and conductive medium, with the motor installed inside the casing, and torque transmitted to drive the pump via a magnetic coupling. This can lead to corrosion of the motor's metal components due to chemical reactions in the low-temperature corrosive and conductive medium, causing the motor to malfunction. Furthermore, the entry of the low-temperature corrosive and conductive medium into the motor can damage the insulation layer of the motor windings, potentially causing a short circuit. Traditional processes use externally mounted API610 VS6 bag pumps, which employ mechanical seals and cannot achieve zero leakage. Moreover, with the increasing size of the equipment, these pumps no longer meet installation requirements. Therefore, removable, internally mounted submersible pumps are used.
[0003] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned existing technologies, it is necessary to study and design a new type of motor protection structure for low-temperature corrosive conductive media conditions, so as to solve the problems existing in the existing technologies. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The existing cryogenic submersible pumps, due to immersion in a low-temperature corrosive and conductive medium, are prone to motor malfunction when the seal fails, potentially leading to serious technical problems such as short circuits. Therefore, this invention provides a motor protection structure for operation in low-temperature corrosive and conductive media. The technical means employed in this invention are as follows:
[0005] A motor protection structure for low-temperature corrosive conductive media includes: a motor end cover, a motor housing component, a rotor component, a coupling, and a coupling housing;
[0006] Furthermore, the rotor assembly is housed within the motor housing assembly;
[0007] Furthermore, the top of the rotor component is connected to the motor end cover;
[0008] Furthermore, the bottom end of the rotor assembly is connected to the coupling;
[0009] Furthermore, the coupling is installed inside the coupling housing;
[0010] Furthermore, the coupling housing is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the motor housing component.
[0011] Furthermore, the motor housing component consists of a motor housing and a motor stator, which is interference-fitted into the motor housing.
[0012] Furthermore, the rotor assembly consists of a shaft and a motor rotor of a motor assembly that is interference-fitted onto the shaft.
[0013] Furthermore, the top end of the shaft is supported and connected to the motor end cover via a sealed bearing A, and the bottom end is supported and connected to the motor housing via a sealed bearing B.
[0014] Furthermore, the motor end cover and the motor housing are fixedly connected by fastener A;
[0015] Furthermore, the motor housing and the coupling housing are fixedly connected by fastener B.
[0016] Furthermore, a double-layer sealing ring is used to seal the motor end cover and the motor housing, as well as the motor housing and the coupling housing, namely the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring. After the overall assembly is completed, the motor end cover and the motor housing, as well as the motor housing and the coupling housing, are welded to form a sealed welded structure, which seals the motor components in the sealed cavity composed of the motor housing, the motor end cover, the coupling housing, and the coupling, thus isolating the motor components from the medium.
[0017] Furthermore, the motor leads on the motor component extend from the motor end cover and connect to external electrical components.
[0018] The assembly process of this utility model is as follows:
[0019] 1. Install the sealed bearing and rotor assembly, then install the whole assembly on the inverted motor end cover and lock it in place;
[0020] 2. Install the sealing ring between the motor housing and the motor end cover, and assemble the motor housing components with the motor end cover;
[0021] 3. Install the sealed bearing at the motor housing and tighten it securely;
[0022] 4. Install the coupling and the sealing ring between the coupling housing and the motor housing;
[0023] 5. Assemble the coupling housing with the end machine housing;
[0024] 6. After final assembly, weld the sealing welded structure to further ensure the sealing performance of the sealing cavity.
[0025] The usage process of this utility model is as follows:
[0026] The motor housing, motor end cover, and coupling housing are all used to transport low-temperature corrosive conductive media. The sealed cavity is filled with nitrogen gas at a pressure higher than that used to transport the low-temperature corrosive conductive media. Pressure monitoring is installed to monitor the sealing condition of the sealed cavity in real time to ensure the protection of the motor.
[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0028] Currently, existing cryogenic submersible motors are immersed in the medium along with the pump. However, this design is not suitable for cryogenic corrosive and conductive media, such as liquid ammonia. If such media enter the motor, they will react chemically with the motor's metal components and insulating varnish, potentially causing a short circuit and damage to the motor.
[0029] The motor protection technology of this utility model, through a special structural design, installs a double-layer sealing ring structure and seals the connection parts of the housing by welding, which can completely seal the stator and rotor of the motor inside the motor housing, and achieve complete isolation of the motor from low-temperature corrosive conductive media.
[0030] In summary, the technical solution of this utility model solves the problem in the prior art that cryogenic submersible pumps, due to being immersed in a low-temperature corrosive and conductive medium, are prone to motor malfunction when sealing problems occur, which can even lead to serious issues such as short circuits in the motor.

Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.
[0039] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description.
