Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of multi-stage pump, in particular to an adjustable repair type self-balancing multi-stage pump. BACKGROUND

[0002] Pump is a machine for conveying fluid or pressurizing fluid, and multi-stage pump refers to a pump with two or more than two impellers. Multi-stage pump can be used in many industrial departments such as petroleum, chemical industry, machinery, mining, light industry, medicine and food. In the working condition of the multi-stage pump, the axial force of the rotor structure changes with the working condition. The axial force of the traditional pump is borne by the motor bearing, which can cause the motor to heat, reduce the efficiency of the unit, increase the energy consumption of the equipment, and cause the motor bearing to be easily damaged, and also cause the motor coil insulation layer to age prematurely. The higher the working pressure of the pump, the more prominent this phenomenon.

[0003] In the internal structure of the multi-stage pump, a self-balancing mechanism is often arranged to balance the axial force of the rotor structure. Chinese patent CN 203023143 U discloses a multi-stage pump self-balancing structure. The multi-stage pump structure disclosed in the patent document balances the axial force of the rotor structure by means of the self-balancing structure. However, such self-balancing structure relies on the gap seal between the pump body and the rotor structure, and the gap seal structure between the pump body and the rotor structure will be worn out with the use of the pump, causing the gap to gradually increase, resulting in seal failure. After wear and tear, the related parts need to be replaced, which is inconvenient to maintain and has high maintenance cost. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following is a specific embodiment of the present application and further describes the technical solutions of the present application in conjunction with the drawings, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments. In the following description, specific details such as specific configurations and components are provided only to help a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of the present application. Therefore, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope of protection of the present application. In addition, in order to be clear and concise, the description of known functions and structures is omitted.

[0024] It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0025] It should be noted that in the internal structure of the multi-stage pump, a self-balancing mechanism is often provided to balance the axial force of the rotor structure, and the balance structure relies on the gap seal between the pump body and the rotor structure. The gap seal structure between the pump body and the rotor structure will wear out with the use of the pump, causing the gap to gradually increase, resulting in seal failure. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides a self-balancing multi-stage pump with adjustable repair function, which can compensate for wear by adjusting the axial installation position of the rotor structure. The related parts do not need to be replaced, and the maintenance cost is lower.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 The self-balancing multi-stage pump comprises a pump body 10 and a rotor structure 20, wherein the pump body 10 has a water inlet section 11, a middle section 12 and a water outlet section 13; the rotor structure 20 comprises a pump shaft 21 and multi-stage impellers 22; the pump shaft 21 is arranged in the internal space of the pump body 10, and the multi-stage impellers 22 are arranged on the pump shaft 21 in sequence; and the rotor structure 20 is assembled on the pump body 10 and can be adjusted in the axial installation position along the pump shaft 21.

[0027] The multi-stage impeller is provided as a centrifugal pump impeller or a mixed flow pump impeller. Therefore, the multi-stage impeller can be provided as a centrifugal pump impeller or a mixed flow pump impeller. The centrifugal pump works by rotating the impeller to make the water move in a centrifugal manner. Before starting, the pump body and the water suction pipe are filled with water, and then the motor is started to drive the pump shaft to rotate the impeller and the water at high speed. The water moves in a centrifugal manner and is thrown to the outer edge of the impeller, and then flows into the water pump pressure pipeline through the flow channel of the volute pump shell. The mixed flow pump has both centrifugal force and axial thrust on the liquid during operation. In a specific technical solution, the multi-stage pump is a multi-stage centrifugal pump, and the multi-stage impeller is a centrifugal pump impeller. When working, the liquid delivered through the water inlet enters the inside of the pump body. Due to the action of the impeller, the kinetic energy and potential energy of the liquid are both increased. After the liquid enters the guide vane, part of the kinetic energy is converted into potential energy (each stage of the impeller is provided with a guide vane). The reverse blades of the guide vane deliver the liquid to the inlet of the next stage of the impeller under favorable hydraulic characteristics, and each stage increases the same pressure. After passing through the last stage of the guide vane, the liquid is discharged from the water outlet. The water pressure of the multi-stage centrifugal pump is the superposition of the stages of the impeller, so a larger outlet pressure can be obtained.

[0028] In addition, it should be noted that the rotor structure is the rotating part in the pump body, which includes the pump shaft, the multi-stage impeller, and other components that rotate with the pump shaft. The rotor structure and the pump body are provided with multiple gap seals at different positions, which utilize the small gap between the rotor structure and the pump body for sealing.

[0029] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In the internal space of the pump body 10, an annular first support 14 and a second support 15 are provided on the drainage section 13 of the pump body 10; a balance body 23 is provided on the rotor structure 20; the first support 14 covers the outer periphery of the balance body 23, forming a first gap 32 between the first support 14 and the balance body 23; a second gap 33 is formed between the second support 15 and the balance body 23; a balance cavity 31 is formed by the balance body 23 and the internal structure of the pump body 10; the first gap 32 connects the drainage port of the multi-stage impeller and the balance cavity 31; the second gap 33 connects the inside and outside of the balance cavity 31 for pressure relief of the balance cavity 31; wherein, the mating surfaces on the first support 14 and the balance body 23 for forming the first gap 32 are set as conical; the mating surfaces on the second support 15 and the balance body 23 for forming the second gap 33 are radial end faces.

[0030] The first gap 32 connects the drain outlet of the multi-stage impeller and the balance chamber 31. High-pressure water from the drain outlet can enter the balance chamber 31 through the first gap 32, and water in the balance chamber 31 can leak through the second gap 33. Based on Figures 1-3 As shown in the diagram, when the pump is working, the impeller 22 of the rotor structure 20 is subjected to an axial force to the left, and the balance body 23 is subjected to an axial force to the right to balance the force on the impeller 22. The axial force of the rotor structure changes continuously with the operating conditions. When the rotor structure 20 is subjected to force and moves to the right along the axial direction, the balance body 23 moves closer to the second support 15, the second gap 33 decreases, the leakage of the balance chamber 31 decreases, and the water pressure increases. This increases the leftward pressure of the liquid in the balance chamber 31 acting on the balance body 23, thereby changing the force direction of the rotor structure 20 to the left. At this time, as the force direction of the entire rotor structure 20 changes to the left, the rotor structure 20 moves to the left. When the rotor structure 20 is subjected to force and moves axially to the left, the balance body 23 moves away from the second support 15, the second gap 33 increases, the leakage of the balance chamber 31 increases, and the water pressure decreases. This reduces the leftward pressure exerted by the liquid in the balance chamber 31 on the balance body 23, thereby changing the direction of force on the rotor structure 20 to the right. At this time, as the direction of force on the entire rotor structure 20 changes to the right, the rotor structure 20 moves to the right. Therefore, when the rotor structure 20 moves axially under force, the force on the rotor structure 20 will reverse as the size of the second gap 33 changes, causing the rotor structure 20 to move in the opposite direction. In this way, the rotor structure 20 can maintain dynamic balance.

[0031] The mating surfaces on the first support 14 and the balance body 23 used to form the first gap 32 are set in a conical shape. Therefore, when the mating surfaces on both sides of the first gap 32 are worn, the wear compensation of the gap size of the first gap 32 can be achieved by adjusting the axial installation position of the rotor structure 20 as a whole. Furthermore, there is no need to replace the relevant parts, resulting in lower maintenance costs.

[0032] Reference will be made to Figure 2 And Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present application, the rotor structure 20 is further provided with an annular throttle body 24; the third gap 35 is formed between the annular throttle body 24 and the second support 15; the secondary balance cavity 34 is formed between the annular throttle body 24 and the second support 15; the second gap 33 communicates the balance cavity 31 and the secondary balance cavity 34; the third gap 35 communicates the inside and outside of the secondary balance cavity 34 for pressure relief of the secondary balance cavity 34; the matching surface of the annular throttle body 24 and the second support 15 for forming the third gap 35 is tapered and has the same direction as the matching surface of the first gap.

[0033] Specifically, when the rotor structure 20 moves axially to the right, the annular throttle body 24 on the rotor structure 20 moves away from the second support 15, the third gap 35 becomes larger, the leakage of the secondary balance cavity 34 increases, the pressure decreases, and the force on the annular throttle body 24 changes to the left to resist the movement of the rotor structure 20. When the rotor structure 20 moves axially to the left, the annular throttle body 24 on the rotor structure 20 moves close to the second support 15, the third gap 35 becomes smaller, the leakage of the secondary balance cavity 34 decreases, the pressure increases, and the force on the annular throttle body 24 changes to the right to resist the movement of the rotor structure 20. Further, the matching surface of the annular throttle body 24 and the second support 15 for forming the third gap 35 is tapered and has the same direction as the matching surface of the first gap. Therefore, when the gap gradually increases due to wear during use of the pump, wear compensation can be achieved for the first gap 32 and the third gap 35 by adjusting the axial installation position of the rotor structure, without the need to replace related parts, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0034] Further, one end of the third gap 35 communicates to the secondary balance cavity 34, and the other end communicates to the water inlet section 11 of the pump body 10. Here, the water leaked from the self-balancing structure can return to the water inlet section 11.

[0035] Reference will be made to Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present application, the matching surface of the first support 14 for forming the first gap 32 is a concave-convex surface, and the concave-convex structure is arranged on the matching surface of the first gap 32, which can slow down the flow speed of the high-pressure water and reduce the leakage. Further, the matching surface of the first support 14 for forming the first gap 32 is uniformly and spacedly provided with a plurality of groove structures 141 to form a concave-convex surface. When the high-pressure water enters the groove structure 141, it diffuses and flows into the groove structure 141. When the high-pressure water flows out of the groove structure 141, it needs to flow again. Therefore, the high-pressure water needs to continuously diffuse and contract when passing through the groove structure 141, thereby slowing down the flow speed of the high-pressure water and reducing the leakage.

[0036] The first support 14 and the second support 15 are arranged on the pump body 10. In an embodiment of the present application, the first support 14 is a hollow sleeve fixed on the drainage section 13 of the pump body 10 and is detachably mounted. In an embodiment of the present application, the second support 15 is a detachable ring structure, as shown in Figure 2 The second support 15 is fixedly mounted by screws.

[0037] The balancing body 23 and the ring-shaped throttling body 24 are arranged on the rotor structure 20. In an embodiment, the balancing body 23 and the ring-shaped throttling body 24 are fixed together with the pump shaft 21 through a shaft sleeve.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present application, an adjustable connection structure is arranged between the rotor structure 20 and the pump body 10, which allows the rotor structure 20 to adjust its assembly position in the axial direction. In this design, the adjustable connection structure can be used to adjust the axial installation position of the rotor structure.

[0039] In summary, in the internal space of the pump body, the first support and the second support are arranged in a ring shape on the drainage section of the pump body; the balancing body is arranged on the rotor structure; the first support is wrapped around the outer periphery of the balancing body, and the first gap is formed between the first support and the balancing body, which is connected to the drainage port of the multi-stage impeller and the balancing cavity, and is used to guide the high-pressure water in the drainage port into the balancing cavity, so that the high-pressure water in the balancing cavity acts on the balancing body to balance the axial force of the rotor structure. Moreover, the matching surfaces of the first support and the balancing body for forming the first gap are arranged in a tapered shape, so that when the gap gradually increases due to wear during use of the pump, the size of the gap can be compensated for by adjusting the axial installation position of the rotor structure, without the need to replace related components, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0040] In the above-described embodiments of the present application, the description of each embodiment has its own focus, and the parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment can be referred to the relevant description of other embodiments.

[0041] In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are used only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or an indicated number of technical features.
