Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to centrifugal pump field especially a centrifugal pump with impeller nut anti-loose structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] Centrifugal pump is a kind of mechanical equipment using the centrifugal force generated by impeller rotation to transport liquid, belongs to one kind of vane pump. Its working principle is based on centrifugal force: when driving device (such as motor) drives impeller high-speed rotation, liquid enters the impeller center from the pump inlet axis, obtains radial velocity under the impeller blade push and is thrown to the impeller outer edge, forms high-pressure liquid and is discharged through the flow passage of pump shell. This process is similar to throwing water out with rotating umbrella, realizes continuous transportation by constantly sucking and discharging liquid. Centrifugal pump has the characteristics such as large flow, simple structure, stable operation, is widely used in industrial circulating water system, farmland irrigation, city water supply, chemical process and other fields.

[0003] In prior art, in the actual operation process of centrifugal pump, the looseness of impeller nut has been one of the key factors affecting the stability and reliability of equipment. At present, in order to prevent the loosening of impeller nut, the common technical means is to install a stop washer between the impeller nut and the impeller. The stop washer is clamped in the specific position of the nut and the impeller through the special structure deformation, such as bending, to prevent the nut from rotating, so as to achieve the purpose of anti-loose.

[0004] However, when facing the impeller with very heavy weight, if the impeller appears reverse rotation, due to the huge inertia of the impeller, a considerable torque will be generated on the nut. This torque directly acts on the stop washer, and once it exceeds the strength range that the stop washer can bear, the stop washer is easily cut off. Once the stop washer is cut off, it cannot continue to perform the function of preventing the nut from rotating, and further leads to the failure of the impeller nut anti-loose. The looseness or even the falling off of the impeller nut will make the impeller lose stable fixation during rotation, not only will cause the serious situation of the loosening and falling off of the impeller, but also will cause very serious influence on the normal operation of mechanical equipment, and cause mechanical equipment failure.
