[0002] A cryogenic submersible pump is a pump specifically designed for transporting and circulating extremely low-temperature liquids, typically liquefied gases such as liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and liquefied natural gas.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to reduce the impact of temperature on the cryogenic submersible pump, the cryogenic submersible pump is set in a pump pool. The top of the cryogenic submersible pump is connected to the pump pool through a connecting flange, while its bottom is suspended. When the cryogenic submersible pump is placed in an environment such as a liquefied natural gas ship, the free end of the cryogenic submersible pump will oscillate radially due to the swaying of the hull. Prolonged radial oscillation will cause the connection to loosen, resulting in poor connection stability of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0032] Implementation Method 1

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment is an optional embodiment of this application, which discloses a cryogenic submersible pumping device, including a pump pool 1 and a cryogenic submersible pump 2, wherein the top of the cryogenic submersible pump 2 is connected to the pump pool 1 through a connecting flange.

[0034] The pump pool 1 includes an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder that are nested together. Several support blocks 6 are provided on the inner wall of the inner cylinder, and each support block 6 has the same structure.

[0035] Around the axis of the inner cylinder, the support blocks 6 are evenly arranged, and the top surfaces of the support blocks 6 are flush. Simultaneously, a plurality of limiting seats 4 are also provided within the inner cylinder. Along the length of the limiting seat 4, one end of the limiting seat 4 facing the inner cylinder is the rear end face, and the other end is the front end face. An insertion hole 7 is provided on the rear end face of the limiting seat 4, and each support block 6 is inserted into the insertion hole 7, thereby achieving the connection between the support block 6 and the limiting seat 4. Mutual bolt holes are also provided between the limiting seat 4 and the support block 6, and connecting bolts 8 are installed in the bolt holes.

[0036] The above-mentioned structure not only enables the quick disassembly of the limit block, improving the maintenance efficiency of the equipment, but also allows for the quick replacement of different limit seats 4 to meet different usage requirements.

[0037] Furthermore, a insertion groove 9 is provided on the front end face of the limiting seat 4. The cross-section of the insertion groove 9 is arc-shaped or U-shaped, and the insertion groove 9 penetrates the top surface and the front end face of the limiting seat 4.

[0038] Around the axis of the cryogenic submersible pump 2, a plurality of connecting sleeves 10 are evenly arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the cryogenic submersible pump 2. Each connecting sleeve 10 is threadedly connected to a limiting rod 3. The axis of each limiting rod 3 is arranged in the radial direction, that is, the free end of the limiting rod 3 extends in the radial direction. Each limiting rod 3 corresponds to each limiting seat 4. The free end of each limiting rod 3 is inserted into the corresponding insertion groove 9 from the top opening of the limiting seat 4 along the axial direction.

[0039] The above structure allows each limiting rod 3 to be quickly inserted into the limiting seat 4 from the axial direction, thus minimizing the difficulty of equipment installation.

[0040] Furthermore, a plurality of radial limiting pieces 14 are provided at the free end of the limiting rod 3, and a plurality of radial slots 15 are provided in the insertion groove 9, and each of the radial limiting pieces 14 is inserted into each of the radial slots 15 for engagement.

[0041] Along the axial direction of the limiting rod 3, each of the radial limiting pieces 14 is tightly fitted with each of the radial slots 15, thereby achieving limiting in the radial direction, further improving the connection stability and reliability between the limiting rod 3 and the limiting seat 4, and thus further improving the radial limiting effect on the cryogenic submersible pump 2.

[0042] Furthermore, each radial slot 15 has an inclined guide surface 16 at its inlet end, and each radial limiting piece 14 has a guide surface 17 that matches the guide surface 16 at its edge. That is, the top of the radial slot 15 is enlarged by the guide surface 16, and the edge thickness of the radial limiting piece 14 is reduced by the guide surface 17, thereby reducing the difficulty of insertion between the radial limiting piece 14 and the radial slot 15 and reducing the assembly difficulty of the whole set of equipment.

[0043] Furthermore, refer to Figure 5As another feasible technical solution of this application, a plurality of plug-in sleeves 11 are evenly arranged on the outer surface of the cryogenic submersible pump 2 around its axis, and at least one rotation limiting groove 12 is provided on the inner wall of the plug-in sleeve 11. The rotation limiting groove 12 is arranged along the axis of the plug-in sleeve 11; at the same time, a rotation limiting strip 13 adapted to the rotation limiting groove 12 is also provided on each of the limiting rods 3.

[0044] In use, the limiting rod 3 is connected to the insert sleeve 11 by insertion, and the rotation of the limiting rod 3 is limited by the cooperation of the rotating limiting groove 12 and the rotating limiting strip 13 to ensure its stability.

[0045] Secondly, the above structure simplifies the assembly of the equipment.

[0046] Furthermore, a support plate 18 is provided at the bottom of the cryogenic submersible pump 2. The support plate 18 is generally in the form of a circular ring structure. Around the axis of the support plate 18, a plurality of through holes 19 are provided on the support plate 18. The fluid to be transported enters the inlet end of the cryogenic submersible pump 2 through the through holes 19.

[0047] A limiting slot 20 is also provided at the bottom of the pump pool 1. The limiting slot 20 is adapted to the support plate 18. During installation, the bottom of the support plate 18 is inserted into the limiting slot 20.

[0048] Furthermore, around the axis of the limiting slot 20, a plurality of limiting posts 21 are evenly arranged in the limiting slot 20, and a plurality of limiting holes 22 are also provided on the support plate 18, with each limiting post 21 and each limiting hole 22 correspondingly inserted and connected.

[0049] The cooperation between the limiting stake 21 and the limiting hole 22 can further achieve radial limiting of the bottom area of ​​the cryogenic submersible pump 2, which not only makes the cryogenic submersible pump 2 more stable, but also effectively reduces the pressure of the limiting rod 3.

[0050] Furthermore, the insertion end of the limiting hole 22 is also provided with a guide cone surface 23 with a conical structure. The guide cone surface 23 can enlarge the entrance end of the limiting hole 22, reducing the assembly difficulty of the equipment.

[0051] Compared with the prior art, this application constructs a stable support in the radial direction by cooperating with the limiting seat through multiple radially arranged limiting rods. When the entire pumping device shakes due to external conditions, the support provided by the limiting rods can effectively ensure the stability of the cryogenic submersible pump, thereby preventing it from axially swinging and ensuring the stability and reliability of its connection with the pump pool.

[0052] Secondly, this application achieves the above functions with a simple limiting rod, which effectively simplifies the structure of the entire device and improves the reliability and stability of the equipment.

[0053] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
