[0025] The following is a specific embodiment of the application and further describes the technical solution of the application in conjunction with the drawings, but the application is not limited to these embodiments. In the following description, specific details such as specific configurations and components are provided only to help fully understand the embodiments of the application. Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope of protection of the application. In addition, in order to be clear and concise, the description of known functions and structures is omitted.
[0026] It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the present application can be combined with each other in the case of no conflict.
[0027] The present application provides a pump underwater bearing lubrication and sealing device, which is applied to a water pump. When the water pump works underwater, the pump underwater bearing lubrication and sealing device can provide stable and reliable bearing sealing, so that the bearing can work normally underwater. The pump underwater bearing lubrication and sealing device provided by the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pump underwater bearing lubrication and sealing device comprises a pump shaft 10, a bearing 20, a support 30, a first sealing assembly 40 and a second sealing assembly 50. The pump shaft 10 is arranged in the pump body; the bearing 20 is arranged at the position close to the end of the pump shaft 10, and is used to rotate and support the pump shaft 10; and the support 30 surrounds the outer periphery of the bearing 20 and the pump shaft 10.
[0029] The support 30 is a part of the pump body, and is a fixed structure on the pump body, which is used as the mounting base of the bearing 20. In the structure shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the support 30 is designed as an independent component, which is connected with other structures of the pump body. The pump shaft 10 is mounted on the support 30 through the bearing 20, and the bearing 20 can allow the pump shaft 10 to rotate and support the pump shaft 10.
[0030] The first sealing assembly 40 and the second sealing assembly 50 are arranged on the two sides of the bearing 20 respectively, which are used to seal and protect the two sides of the bearing, so as to prevent water in the environment from entering the bearing. The first sealing assembly 40 is located on the side of the bearing 20 close to the inside of the pump body, and the second sealing assembly 50 is located on the side of the bearing 20 close to the outside of the pump body. In the structure shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first sealing assembly 40 is located on the upper side of the bearing 20, and the second sealing assembly 50 is located on the lower side of the bearing 20.
[0031] The first sealing assembly 40 is assembled on the outer periphery of the pump shaft 10 and is located on the side of the bearing 20 close to the inside of the pump body. The first sealing assembly 40 comprises a first mechanical sealing structure 41, and a lubricating oil chamber 43 is arranged around the first mechanical sealing structure 41, and an oil inlet passage and an oil outlet passage in communication with the lubricating oil chamber 43 are arranged. Lubricating oil is injected into the oil inlet passage from an external oil supply source, and the lubricating oil is injected into the lubricating oil chamber 43 through the oil inlet passage. After the lubricating oil chamber 43 is filled with lubricating oil, the lubricating oil is discharged through the oil outlet passage. When the water pump is working, the lubricating oil is continuously injected into the lubricating oil chamber 43 through the oil inlet passage, and the lubricating oil is continuously discharged from the oil outlet passage. At this time, when the first mechanical sealing structure 41 leaks, water in the environment enters the lubricating oil chamber 43. Since the water entering the lubricating oil chamber 43 will be partially discharged through the oil outlet passage, whether the first sealing assembly 40 leaks can be determined by observing whether water is discharged from the oil outlet passage.
[0032] In an embodiment of the present application, the oil inlet passage comprises an oil inlet hole 44 and an external oil inlet pipeline, wherein the oil inlet hole 44 is located on the support 30 and is in communication with the lubricating oil chamber 43, and the external oil inlet pipeline is connected with the oil inlet hole 44. The oil outlet passage comprises an oil outlet hole 45 and an external oil outlet pipeline, wherein the oil outlet hole 45 is located on the support 30 and is in communication with the lubricating oil chamber 43, and the external oil outlet pipeline is connected with the oil outlet hole 45. During the oil inlet process, the lubricating oil output by the external oil supply source first enters the external oil inlet pipeline, and then enters the oil inlet hole 44 in communication with the external oil inlet pipeline, and then enters the lubricating oil chamber 43 inside the support 30 through the oil inlet hole 44. During the lubricating oil discharge process, the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil chamber 43 first enters the oil outlet hole 45, is output to the outside of the support 30 from the oil outlet hole 45, and then enters the external oil outlet pipeline, so as to realize the backflow of the lubricating oil.
[0033] The second sealing assembly 50 comprises a sealing end cover 51, which is located on the side of the bearing 20 close to the outside of the pump body. The sealing end cover 51 covers the end of the pump shaft 10 and the end of the bearing 20, and forms a lubricating grease chamber 52 inside, and is provided with a lubricating grease inlet passage and a lubricating grease outlet passage in communication with the lubricating grease chamber 52. Lubricating grease is injected into the lubricating grease inlet passage from an external lubricating grease supply source, and the lubricating grease is injected into the lubricating grease chamber 52 through the lubricating grease inlet passage. After the lubricating grease chamber 52 is filled with lubricating grease, the lubricating grease is discharged through the lubricating grease outlet passage. When the water pump is working, the lubricating grease is continuously injected into the lubricating grease chamber 52 through the lubricating grease inlet passage, and the lubricating grease is continuously discharged from the lubricating grease outlet passage. At this time, when the second sealing assembly 50 leaks, water in the environment enters the lubricating grease chamber 52. Since the water entering the lubricating grease chamber 52 will be partially discharged through the lubricating grease outlet passage, whether the second sealing assembly 50 leaks can be determined by observing whether water is discharged from the lubricating grease outlet passage.
[0034] In an embodiment of the present application, the lubricating grease inlet channel comprises a grease inlet hole 53 and an external lubricating grease inlet pipeline, wherein the grease inlet hole 53 is located on the sealing end cover 51 and communicates with the lubricating grease chamber 52, and the external lubricating grease inlet pipeline is connected with the grease inlet hole 53; the lubricating grease outlet channel comprises a grease outlet hole 54 and an external lubricating grease outlet pipeline, wherein the grease outlet hole 54 is located on the sealing end cover 51 and communicates with the lubricating grease chamber 52, and the external lubricating grease outlet pipeline is connected with the grease outlet hole 54. During the input of the lubricating grease, the lubricating grease is first input into the external lubricating grease inlet pipeline, and then enters the grease inlet hole 53 connected therewith from the external lubricating grease inlet pipeline, and enters the lubricating grease chamber 52 in the sealing end cover 51 through the grease inlet hole 53. During the output of the lubricating grease, the lubricating grease in the lubricating grease chamber 52 first enters the grease inlet hole 53, and then enters the external lubricating grease outlet pipeline from the grease inlet hole 53, so as to realize the backflow of the lubricating grease.
[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, the first sealing assembly 40 further comprises a second mechanical sealing structure 42; the second mechanical sealing structure 42 is arranged on the side of the first mechanical sealing structure 41 away from the bearing 20.
