In addition, the terms "mounting", "connecting", "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, can be fixedly connected, can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; can be mechanically connected, can be electrically connected; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; can be the communication between two elements inside. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] The embodiments of the present application provide a centrifugal pump impeller anti-loosening sleeve structure, like Figures 1-4As shown, the device comprises an impeller 1, a locking piece 2, a mounting shaft 3 and a limiting piece 4; one end of the mounting shaft 3 is connected with a driving piece, the other end of the mounting shaft 3 passes through the impeller 1 and is connected with the limiting piece 4; the locking piece 2 is arranged between the limiting piece 4 and the impeller 1; the locking piece 2 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting piece 4 and is clamped with the limiting piece 4; one end of the locking piece 2 abuts against the limiting piece 4, and the other end of the locking piece 2 abuts against the end face of the impeller 1; the locking piece 2 is configured to prevent the limiting piece 4 from rotating.

[0025] As shown in the embodiment of the present application, Figures 1-4 the locking piece 2 comprises a thin-walled part 21, a connecting part 22 and a mounting part 23; one end of the thin-walled part 21 is connected with one end of the connecting part 22, and the other end of the connecting part 22 is connected with the mounting part 23; the thin-walled part 21 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting piece 4 and is clamped with the limiting piece 4; the end face of the limiting piece 4 abuts against one end of the connecting part 22, and the other end of the connecting part 22 abuts against the end face of the impeller 1; the thin-walled part 21 is configured to prevent the limiting piece 4 from rotating; and the mounting part 23 is arranged between the mounting shaft 3 and the impeller 1.

[0026] For example, the locking piece 2 is an integral structure, the mounting part 23 is matched with the hub end face of the impeller 1 by a stopper, so as to ensure that the locking piece 2 is coaxial with the impeller 1 and is in close contact with the impeller 1. The thin-walled part 21 is a cylinder structure extending outwards, and the inner diameter of the thin-walled part 21 is slightly larger than the diameter of the limiting piece 4, so as to facilitate the sleeving. During assembly, the limiting piece 4 is first screwed to be in close contact with the end face of the connecting part 22, and then a tool is used to knock the thin-walled part 21 along the radial direction, so that the thin-walled part 21 is deformed and pressed tightly to the side face of the limiting piece 4, that is, the thin-walled part 21 is plastically deformed and tightly attached to the side face of the limiting piece 4, a direct mechanical locking is formed, and thus the limiting piece 4 is prevented from rotating in the reverse direction and loosening.

[0027] For example, the connecting part 22 is a force-bearing structure and a sealing structure, and the end faces thereof are in close contact with the end faces of the limiting piece 4 and the impeller 1 respectively, so as to transmit the axial compression force and form a sealing basis. When the mounting part 23 is axially inserted into the hub end of the impeller 1, the connecting part 22 can provide axial positioning.

[0028] As shown in the embodiment of the present application, Figures 1-5 the device further comprises a pin 5; a pin hole 231 is arranged on the mounting part 23; a groove 11 is arranged on the impeller 1; one end of the pin 5 is arranged in the pin hole 231, and the other end of the pin 5 is arranged in the groove 11, so that the pin 5 can prevent the locking piece 2 from rotating relative to the impeller 1.

[0029] The pin 5 is pre-welded or interference-fitted into the pin hole 231 of the anti-loosening piece 2. During assembly, the pin 5 is aligned with the axial groove 11 on the hub of the impeller 1, and the pin 5 is inserted into the groove 11. This cooperation can effectively limit the circumferential rotation of the anti-loosening piece 2 along with the mounting shaft 3 or the limiting piece 4 during operation, thereby avoiding friction between the end face of the connecting portion 22 and the end face of the impeller 1, and ensuring the long-term reliability of the anti-loosening effect of the anti-loosening piece 2.

[0030] During assembly, the pin 5 is aligned with the groove 11 on the hub of the impeller 1, the mounting portion 23 is pushed into the hub of the impeller 1, and then the limiting piece 4 is sleeved onto the end portion of the mounting shaft 3 and tightened until the limiting piece 4 is in contact with the end face of the connecting portion 22. The pin 5 is clamped into the groove 11 on the hub of the impeller 1, which can limit the anti-loosening piece 2 in the circumferential direction, thereby preventing the anti-loosening piece 2 from rotating.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-4 The mounting shaft 3 is connected to the impeller 1 by a key.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-4 The end face of the connecting portion 22 is provided with a sealing ring groove 221, and the sealing member is arranged in the sealing ring groove 221.

[0033] The sealing member is an O-shaped sealing ring, which is arranged in the sealing ring groove 221 on the end face of the connecting portion 22. When the anti-loosening piece 2 is pressed against the end face of the impeller 1, the O-shaped ring can form a sealing barrier between the anti-loosening piece 2 and the impeller 1, thereby effectively preventing the medium from penetrating and corroding the threads of the shaft head, and improving the sealing reliability and corrosion resistance of the entire assembly.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-4 The thickness of the thin-walled portion 21 is 0.5mm-2mm.

[0035] The thickness of the thin-walled portion 21 is preferably designed to be in the range of 0.5mm to 2mm. The metal material in this thickness range has good plastic deformation capability, can be firmly attached to the side surface of the limiting piece 4 by appropriate knocking force, thereby forming reliable locking; and at the same time, the metal material in this thickness range has sufficient strength and will not easily break due to accidental collision or vibration.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-4 The limiting piece 4 includes a nut; one end of the mounting shaft 3 is connected to a driving member, the other end of the mounting shaft 3 passes through the impeller 1 and is threadedly connected to the nut; the thin-walled portion 21 is sleeved on the outside of the nut and is clamped with the nut; and the end face of the nut is in abutment with the connecting portion 22.

[0037] Preferably, the limiting member 4 is a hexagonal nut. The thin-walled portion 21 is sleeved on the outside of the hexagonal nut, and after being struck and deformed, can be tightly engaged with several sides of the nut. By using the edge effect of the polygon of the nut, the rotation of the anti-loosening member 2 can be more effectively prevented.

[0038] The various embodiments in the specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other, and each embodiment focuses on the difference from other embodiments.

[0039] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limited to the present application; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features can be replaced by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
