Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of engine mechanical water pumps, and in particular to an engine mechanical water pump housing. Background Technology
[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, the existing engine mechanical water pump structure mainly includes a water pump housing 1, an impeller shaft 2, a water seal 3, an impeller 4, and a pulley 5. The impeller shaft is installed in the front shaft hole 6 of the water pump housing. An annular water storage cavity 7 is provided in the rear end of the water pump housing. A water seal for sealing the opening of the water storage cavity is fitted onto the impeller shaft. The rear end of the impeller shaft passes through the water storage cavity and connects to the impeller. The front end of the impeller shaft connects to the pulley. A leakage observation hole 8 is provided on the front end face of the water pump housing, which is a through hole communicating with the water storage cavity. To reduce the false leakage rate, a larger water storage cavity volume structure is currently commonly used in water pump housing designs, and the leakage observation hole is hidden inside the pulley. For more compact water pumps, the water storage cavity is designed as an annular structure; the leakage observation hole is designed as a cylinder. Although the annular structure of the water storage cavity increases the effective storage volume, it also leads to a higher concentration of water vapor generated by the coolant in the water storage cavity.
[0003] The design of the leakage observation hole must simultaneously meet the requirements of venting water vapor from the water storage chamber and reducing the entry of environmental dust into the pump. Therefore, the hole diameter cannot be designed to be too large (generally φ5~φ8mm). This results in a slower rate of steam emission from the water storage chamber to the environment. Consequently, the rubber seals on the bearing end face of the impeller shaft are constantly exposed to high concentrations of coolant water vapor, leading to aging of the bearing rubber seals, reduced sealing performance, and water vapor entering the bearing. This causes the grease to gradually deteriorate, lose its lubricating properties, and the bearing rolling elements to wear and fail, increasing the after-sales compensation for the pump. At the same time, the round hole leakage observation hole is easily blocked by dust, preventing water vapor from escaping and accelerating this process. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention proposes a mechanical water pump housing for an engine, which solves the problems of slow water vapor emission rate and easy clogging by dust in existing water leakage observation holes.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: an engine mechanical water pump housing, including a water pump housing, a shaft hole provided in the front end of the water pump housing, and a water storage cavity provided in the rear end of the water pump housing; characterized in that: an axial water vapor flow channel groove is provided on the wall of the shaft hole near the water storage cavity, a radial drain hole is provided on the wall of the shaft hole, the drain hole is connected to the water vapor flow channel groove, and an expansion groove is provided at the bottom of the drain hole near the water vapor flow channel groove.
[0006] The above technical solution is further specified in that the diameter of the discharge hole is 9-10 mm.
[0007] To further define the above technical solution, the bottom of the expansion tank is inclined.
[0008] A further improvement to the above technical solution is that a raised reinforcing part is provided on the outer side of the front end of the water pump housing along the periphery of the drain hole.
[0009] Beneficial effects: 1) This utility model adopts a radial discharge hole, which effectively controls the amount of dust entering; 2) The expansion groove in the discharge hole can further increase the internal space of the hole, making it less prone to dust blockage and easier for water vapor to be discharged; 3) This utility model effectively improves the evaporation rate of the water storage chamber of the mechanical water pump, while solving the problem that the existing leakage observation hole structure is easily blocked by dust, and can reduce the failure rate of bearings and improve the company's efficiency.
