[0026] See attached document Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a power supply assembly, including a first connecting flange 1 and a second connecting flange 2. The first connecting flange 1 and the second connecting flange 2 are assembled and connected by bolts 7. The first connecting flange 1 is fixedly connected to the top cover of the power cable of the submersible pump, and the second connecting flange 2 is fixedly connected to the external flange of the submersible pump. Simultaneously, a first conductive element is provided on the first connecting flange 1, and a second conductive element is provided on the second connecting flange 2. The first and second conductive elements are electrically connected, so that the cable located inside the pump well is connected to the first conductive element, and the cable located outside the pump well is connected to the second conductive element. Thus, the submersible pump connects to the outside world through the first and second conductive elements, enabling the submersible pump to operate. An annular groove 12 is provided on the flange end face of the second connecting flange 2 facing the first connecting flange 1. A sealing ring 8 is installed in the annular groove 12. It can be imagined that after the first connecting flange 1 and the second connecting flange 2 are assembled by bolts 7, a seal is formed between the first connecting flange 1 and the second connecting flange 2 by the sealing ring 8, thereby improving the sealing performance of the entire power supply assembly and ensuring the stable and safe operation of the submersible pump.
[0027] In the above, the first conductive element and the second conductive element, as terminals, each include both positive and negative terminals. Specifically, for example... Figure 2 As shown, the first connecting flange 1 is provided with a first mounting hole for assembling a first conductive element, wherein the first conductive element includes a first conductor 301, the first conductor 301 being made of metallic copper, and is encapsulated within the first mounting hole by a first encapsulation material 302. In one embodiment, the first encapsulation material 302 includes a nickel alloy 5 welded to the outer periphery of the first conductor 301 and an encapsulation glass 6 fused to the nickel alloy 5. Similarly, as... Figure 3 As shown, the second connecting flange 2 is provided with a second mounting hole for assembling the second conductive element, wherein the second conductive element includes a second conductor 401. The second conductor 401 is made of copper and is encapsulated in the second mounting hole by a second encapsulation material 402. The second encapsulation material 402 includes a nickel alloy 5 welded to the outer periphery of the second conductor 401 and an encapsulation glass 6 that is fused to the nickel alloy 5.
[0028] Meanwhile, in the above embodiments, the first conductive element and the second conductive element are interlocked. Specifically, the second conductor 401 is provided with a socket 13 on the side adjacent to the first conductor 301. After the first connecting flange 1 and the second connecting flange 2 are assembled together by bolts 7, the first conductor 301 is inserted into the socket 13 at one end of the second conductor 401, and the first conductor 301 and the second conductor 401 are in contact, thereby forming an electrical connection.
[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the second connecting flange 2 has a recessed cavity on the side facing the first connecting flange 1. After the first connecting flange 1 and the second connecting flange 2 are assembled, a cavity 9 is formed between them. The two ends of the second connecting flange 2 are provided with a first countersunk bolt hole 10 and a second countersunk bolt hole 11 that communicate with the cavity 9. Nitrogen gas is introduced into the first countersunk bolt hole 10 for purging, and the gas is discharged through the second countersunk bolt hole 11. At the same time, countersunk bolts are installed in the first countersunk bolt hole 10 and the second countersunk bolt hole 11. The countersunk bolts can be removed when purging the cavity 9. After purging, the countersunk bolts are screwed into the first countersunk bolt hole 10 and the second countersunk bolt hole 11, and a sealing ring is fitted on the countersunk bolt. After the countersunk bolts are screwed in, the sealing ring is pressed tightly against the first countersunk bolt hole 10 and the second countersunk bolt hole 11 to form a seal.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
