[0031] Specifically, as Figure 2As shown in the drawings, the joint base 4 includes a lower through hole 11, an upper through hole 12, and a discharge pipe 9; the lower through hole 11 is arranged on the lower side of the discharge pipe 9, the upper through hole 12 is arranged on the upper side of the discharge pipe 9, the feed pipe 5 passes through the lower through hole 11 and the upper through hole 12, and the feed pipe 5 is sealed at the upper through hole 12; in this embodiment, four axial protruding portions 13 are arranged at the position corresponding to the lower through hole 11 of the feed pipe 5, the axial protruding portions 13 are arranged along the length direction of the feed pipe 5, and are uniformly distributed on the outer wall of the feed pipe 5; specifically, as shown in the drawings, Figure 3 、 4 the axial protruding portion 13 is a wing plate 15 extending in a similar rectangular shape along the radial direction.
[0032] An axial limiting groove 14 corresponding to the axial protruding portion 13 is formed on the inner wall of the lower through hole 11, the axial protruding portion 13 is inserted into the axial limiting groove 14 along the axial direction, and the feed pipe 5 is fixed circumferentially with the joint base 4. As an embodiment, as shown in the drawings, Figure 5 the axial limiting groove 14 is recessed on the inner wall surface of the lower through hole 11, and as another embodiment, as shown in the drawings, Figure 6 or a blocking strip 16 is formed on the inner wall surface of the lower through hole 11 in pairs, and the axial limiting groove is formed between the two blocking strips 16. The two embodiments are similar, and the same axial protruding portion 13 structure is adopted, and the difference lies in the different setting structures of the axial limiting groove on the inner wall of the lower through hole 11,
[0033] Embodiment two:
[0034] In the first embodiment, the wing plate 15 extending in a similar rectangular shape along the radial direction has a relatively small thickness, although it has the function of limiting rotation, but the rotation speed of the rotating drum body 1 is relatively large, so that the outlet pump pressure generated by the centrifugal pump 6 is relatively large, and under the flow fluctuation, the wing plate 15 may still be deformed or damaged under the relatively large rotating stress; in order to enhance the structure.
[0035] Specifically, as shown in the drawings, Figure 7 the cross section of the feed pipe 5 is in the shape of a rounded triangle 17, and the three corners of the rounded triangle 17 extend along the axial direction to form the axial protruding portion 13. The axial protruding portion 13 in the shape of a triangle, and the root of the axial protruding portion 13 is connected to the feed pipe 5 to form a widened connection, thereby forming effective reinforcement to avoid deformation and damage under high pressure.

[0036] Example three:
[0037] In the foregoing examples, the problem of loosening of the locking nut 10 is solved by limiting the rotation of the feed pipe 5, and the loosening of the locking nut 10 can be improved when the feed pipe 5 does not rotate, but the vibration generated during the rotation of the separator can be directly transmitted to the locking nut 10 through the joint seat 4, so that the locking nut 10 still has the risk of loosening after a period of operation.
[0038] As an improvement, as shown in the drawings, Figures 9-11 The upper end surface of the joint seat 4 is provided with a nut anti-loosening mechanism 20, the upper part of the locking nut 10 is a prismatic part 21, the lower side of the prismatic part 21 is provided with an outer ring ratchet part 22, as shown in the drawings, Figure 10 During installation, a wrench can be clamped at the prismatic part 21, and in this embodiment, a hexagonal prism structure can be used, and the wrench can be used to tighten the locking nut 10, so that the feed pipe 5 is installed in position. The nut anti-loosening mechanism 20 includes an inner ring pawl part 23, and in this embodiment, the outer ring ratchet part 22 is arranged at the lower part of the locking nut 10, which forms a ratchet structure in combination with the inner ring pawl part 23.

The side close to the locking nut 10 of the inner ring pawl part 23 is provided with an arc-shaped inner wall 24 attached to the outer ring ratchet part 22, and the arc-shaped inner wall 24 is provided with a pawl structure 25; the teeth of the pawl structure 25 are lifted outward by a resilient member to one side of the outer ring ratchet part 22, and the inner ring pawl part 23 is attached to the locking nut 10 to lock it in one direction. Specifically, when the locking nut 10 is tightened, the pawl structure 25 will not be blocked until the locking nut 10 is tightened; during normal operation, the pawl structure 25 is clamped in the outer ring ratchet part 22, so that the locking nut 10 can be fixed, the locking nut 10 is prevented from rotating in the opposite direction, and the loosening of the locking nut 10 is avoided.
[0039] In order to facilitate the removal of the locking nut 10 in the case of overhaul, etc., the pawl structure 25 and the outer ring ratchet part 22 can be further unlocked, specifically, the inner ring pawl part 23 is movably connected to the upper end surface of the joint seat 4, and the inner ring pawl part 23 is controlled by the control mechanism 26 to move close to or away from the locking nut 10, when it is necessary to unlock, the inner ring pawl part 23 is controlled to move away from the locking nut 10, at this time, the pawl structure 25 is separated from the outer ring ratchet part 22, and the locking nut 10 can be removed using a wrench.
