[0026] This utility model provides a device for preventing pump dry running. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-6 It includes a pump shaft 1, a pump housing 2 is provided on the outer surface of the pump shaft 1, an impeller 3 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pump shaft 1 by a protrusion, and a mechanical seal 4 is provided between the pump shaft 1 and the pump housing 2. The mechanical seal 4 includes a housing 401, and a heat dissipation mechanism 5 for cooling and a lubrication mechanism 6 for preventing dry friction are respectively provided inside the mechanical seal 4.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The mechanical seal 4 also includes a stationary ring 402, a stationary ring seal 403 is provided between the housing 401 and the stationary ring 402, a rotating ring 404 is fixed on the outer surface of the pump shaft 1, a rotating ring seal 405 is provided between the rotating ring 404 and the pump shaft 1, and the stationary ring 402 is in contact with the rotating ring 404.

[0028] The outer surface of the housing 401 is fixed to the pump housing 2.

[0029] Please see Figure 3The heat dissipation mechanism 5 includes a water pump 501. The output end of the water pump 501 is fixedly connected to an inlet pipe 502. The inlet pipe 502 penetrates the interior of the housing 401 and is fixedly connected to a heat dissipation copper pipe 503. Coolant is disposed inside the heat dissipation copper pipe 503. An outlet pipe 504 is fixedly connected to the end of the heat dissipation copper pipe 503 away from the inlet pipe 502. A heat exchanger 505 is fixedly connected to the end of the outlet pipe 504 away from the heat dissipation copper pipe 503. A suction pipe 506 is fixedly connected to the output end of the heat exchanger 505. The end of the suction pipe 506 away from the heat exchanger 505 is fixedly connected to the input end of the water pump 501. A large amount of heat is generated in the mechanical seal 4, which is then dissipated by… Due to the thermal conductivity of the heat dissipation copper pipe 503 in the heat dissipation mechanism 5, it can absorb the heat inside the housing 401. Then, through the condensation and transformation of the coolant in the heat dissipation copper pipe 503, the heat can be output to the heat exchanger 505. The heat exchanger 505 can cool the coolant. Then, the water pump 501 is started, which can draw the coolant through the liquid extraction pipe 506 and deliver it to the heat dissipation copper pipe 503. This circulation can quickly remove the heat inside the housing 401, avoiding the situation where the temperature inside the housing 401 rises and the dynamic ring seal 405 melts, causing the seal to fail. This not only ensures the normal operation of the pump, but also extends the service life of the mechanical seal 4.

[0030] The outer surfaces of the water pump 501 and the heat exchanger 505 are fixed to the outer surface of the pump casing 2, and the liquid outlet pipe 504 passes through the outer surfaces of the casing 401 and the pump casing 2 in sequence.

[0031] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lubrication mechanism 6 includes a fixed tube 601, with a rubber dropper 602 connected to the inside of the fixed tube 601 by internal threads. A sealing gasket 603 is fixed to the outer surface of the rubber dropper 602, and the rubber dropper 602 is sealed and snapped into the fixed tube 601 through the sealing gasket 603. When the pump experiences dry friction, squeezing the dropper 602 allows lubricating oil to drip from the fixed tube 601 into the space between the dynamic ring seal 405 and the pump shaft 1. This forms an oil film on the contact surface between the dynamic ring seal 405 and the pump shaft 1, effectively reducing frictional heat and preventing the dynamic ring seal 405 from melting and damaging the pump. This not only saves time and effort by eliminating the need for manual disassembly of the mechanical seal 4, but also further ensures the normal operation of the pump. Before running the pump, unscrewing the dropper 602 removes it from the fixed tube 601, draws in lubricating oil, and then reconnects it to the fixed tube 601 via thread. This ensures the pump's sealing during operation and prevents frictional heat generated by dry friction between the dynamic ring seal 405 and the pump shaft 1, which could damage the pump.

[0032] The housing 401, the rotating ring 404 and the rotating ring sealing ring 405 are all provided with through holes 604 that are adapted to the fixed tube 601. The interior of the through holes 604 is fixed to the outer surface of the fixed tube 601.

[0033] In use, when the pump operates with gas or without liquid, a large amount of heat is generated in the mechanical seal 4. Due to the thermal conductivity of the heat dissipation copper pipe 503 in the heat dissipation mechanism 5, the heat inside the housing 401 is absorbed. The heat is then transferred to the heat exchanger 505 through the condensation and conversion of the coolant in the heat dissipation copper pipe 503. The heat exchanger 505 cools the coolant. Then, the water pump 501 is started, drawing coolant through the suction pipe 506 and delivering it to the heat dissipation copper pipe 503. This cycle quickly removes the heat from inside the housing 401, preventing the temperature inside the housing 401 from rising. In the event of the dynamic ring seal 405 melting and causing seal failure, this not only ensures the normal operation of the pump but also extends the service life of the mechanical seal 4. When the pump experiences dry running, squeezing the dropper 602 allows the lubricating oil in the dropper 602 to drip from the fixed tube 601 between the dynamic ring seal 405 and the pump shaft 1, forming an oil film on the contact surface between the dynamic ring seal 405 and the pump shaft 1. This effectively reduces frictional heat and prevents the dynamic ring seal 405 from melting and damaging the pump. This not only saves time and effort by eliminating the hassle of manually disassembling the mechanical seal 4 but also further ensures the normal operation of the pump.
