SUMMARY

[0004] The utility model discloses a two-stage water ring pump to solve the above problems of the prior art. The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is how to improve the use reliability of the two-stage water ring pump.

[0005] The object of the utility model can be realized by the following technical schemes:

[0006] The utility model provides a double stage water ring pump, including the pump shell with air inlet and exhaust port and the front pump cover and rear pump cover who links respectively in the both ends of pump shell, the front pump cover communicates with the air inlet, the rear pump cover communicates with the exhaust port, the pump shell has the front stage pump cavity who communicates with the front pump cover through the front stage suction exhaust disc and the rear stage pump cavity who communicates with the rear pump cover through the rear stage suction exhaust disc in, the pump shell still is equipped with the communication pipe who communicates the front pump cover and rear pump cover, its characterized in that, the exhaust pipe is connected on the exhaust port of pump shell, and the overflow pipe who communicates both is equipped between the exhaust pipe and communication pipe, and the overflow valve for making the one-way conduction of the airflow in overflow pipe to exhaust pipe is arranged on the overflow pipe.

[0007] When the pressure of the compressed gas in the front stage pump cavity exceeds 0.1 MPa during the use of the double stage water ring pump, the overflow valve on the overflow pipe of the double stage water ring pump can automatically open to make the compressed gas in the front stage pump cavity directly discharge to the exhaust pipe through the overflow pipe without passing through the rear stage pump cavity. When the pressure of the compressed gas in the front stage pump cavity drops to less than 0.1 MPa, the overflow valve can automatically close to make the compressed gas in the front stage pump cavity discharge to the rear stage pump cavity through the communication pipe for further two-stage compression and then discharge through the exhaust pipe. This avoids the compressed gas with high pressure from damaging the rear stage impeller in the rear stage pump body, thereby improving the use reliability of the double stage water ring pump.

[0008] In the double stage water ring pump, the overflow valve includes a valve seat connected with the overflow pipe, the valve seat has an air inlet hole communicated with the communication pipe and an air outlet hole communicated with the exhaust pipe, a cylinder is installed on the valve seat, a valve core is connected with the output shaft of the cylinder, and the valve core can open or close the air inlet hole of the valve seat. The overflow valve adopts a pneumatic valve, so that the structure of the overflow valve is simple and the one-way conduction of the airflow in the overflow pipe to the exhaust pipe can be better achieved. In addition, the overflow valve also adopts the following structure: a retractable spring is installed on the valve seat, the valve core is connected with the retractable spring, and the valve core can open or close the air inlet hole of the valve seat.

[0009] In the double stage water ring pump, the valve seat has a through hole arranged opposite to the air inlet hole, the output shaft of the cylinder is vertically arranged and passes through the through hole, a sealing ring is sleeved on the output shaft of the cylinder and abuts against the hole wall of the through hole, and the vertical section of the combination of the valve core and the output shaft of the cylinder is in the shape of inverted T. This makes the valve core better open or close the air inlet hole of the valve seat, and the sealing ring can prevent the airflow from flowing out of the gap between the output shaft of the cylinder and the hole wall of the through hole, thereby improving the use reliability of the double stage water ring pump.

[0010] In the double-stage water ring pump, a partition plate is arranged in the pump shell between the front-stage pump cavity and the rear-stage pump cavity, the partition plate is provided with an overflow channel communicating the rear-stage pump cavity with the outside, and a micro pneumatic valve is arranged on the partition plate to open or close the overflow channel. The micro pneumatic valve can switch the double-stage water ring pump between single-stage and double-stage. Specifically, when the overflow valve is opened and the micro pneumatic valve is closed, the compressed gas in the front-stage pump cavity is directly discharged to the exhaust pipe through the overflow pipe without passing through the rear-stage pump cavity, so that the double-stage water ring pump becomes a single-stage pump in actual use, which is more energy-saving. When the overflow valve is closed and the micro pneumatic valve is opened, the compressed gas in the front-stage pump cavity is discharged to the rear-stage pump cavity through the communication pipe for secondary compression, and then discharged through the exhaust pipe. When the air pressure in the rear-stage pump cavity is too high, the air flow in the rear-stage pump cavity can be discharged to the outside through the overflow channel, so as to avoid damage to the rear-stage impeller in the rear-stage pump body caused by the compressed gas with high air pressure, thereby improving the vacuum degree while ensuring the use reliability of the double-stage water ring pump.

[0011] In the double-stage water ring pump, the lower end of the exhaust pipe and the two ends of the communication pipe are provided with flange rings, and the lower end of the exhaust pipe and the two ends of the communication pipe are detachably connected to the pump shell through bolts penetrating the flange rings. The pump shell is provided with corresponding flange rings, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the exhaust pipe, the communication pipe and the overflow pipe connecting the two.

[0012] In the double-stage water ring pump, the length of the front-stage impeller in the front-stage pump cavity is greater than the length of the rear-stage impeller in the rear-stage pump cavity. The longer front-stage impeller can reduce the loss of gas flowing through the impeller, thereby improving the compression efficiency. The shorter rear-stage impeller is subjected to smaller centrifugal force and has more uniform stress distribution, thereby reducing the risk of cracking.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the double-stage water ring pump has the advantages that when the pressure of the compressed gas in the front-stage pump cavity exceeds 0.1 MPa, the overflow valve on the overflow pipe of the double-stage water ring pump can automatically open to make the compressed gas in the front-stage pump cavity directly discharged to the exhaust pipe through the overflow pipe without passing through the rear-stage pump cavity. When the pressure of the compressed gas in the front-stage pump cavity drops to less than 0.1 MPa, the overflow valve can automatically close to make the compressed gas in the front-stage pump cavity discharged to the rear-stage pump cavity through the communication pipe for secondary compression, and then discharged through the exhaust pipe. This avoids damage to the rear-stage impeller in the rear-stage pump body caused by the compressed gas with high air pressure, thereby improving the use reliability of the double-stage water ring pump.
