Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of centrifugal pump technology, and in particular relates to a packing gland for centrifugal pumps. Background Technology

[0002] Originally, packing seals used fibers such as cotton and linen to plug the leakage channel to prevent liquid leakage, mainly as shaft seals for water lifting machinery. Because packing materials are widely available, easy to process, inexpensive, provide reliable sealing, and are simple to operate, they have been used to this day. Now, packing glands are widely used for shaft seals of centrifugal pumps, compressors, vacuum pumps, mixers, and ship propellers, as well as for reciprocating shaft seals of piston pumps, reciprocating compressors, and refrigeration machines, and for the rotation of valve stems in various valves.

[0003] However, there are some shortcomings in the existing centrifugal pump packing gland technology. One significant problem is the inconvenience of adjusting the thickness of the packing gland. In practical applications, different centrifugal pumps have different working conditions, pressures, temperatures, and characteristics of the liquids they pump, resulting in different requirements for the thickness of the packing gland. Traditional packing glands often use a fixed thickness design, or their thickness adjustment methods are very cumbersome, requiring a lot of disassembly and replacement of parts or the use of special tools for complex operations. This not only increases the difficulty of operation and time costs, but may also lead to excessive downtime of the equipment, affecting production efficiency.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide a packing gland for centrifugal pumps. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a packing gland for centrifugal pumps, which solves the problem of inconvenient thickness adjustment of packing glands in the prior art through the cooperation of a base plate, a thickened plate and a snap-fit ​​fixing mechanism.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0007] This utility model relates to a packing gland for a centrifugal pump, comprising a base plate with a vertical pipe connected to its top and a thickened plate at its bottom.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The thickness of the thickened plate 3 is set according to the usage requirements. The base plate 1, together with the vertical pipe 2, can directly form a packing gland for centrifugal pumps. When it is necessary to thicken the base plate 1 to improve its compressive strength, the user moves the thickened plate 3 to insert the connecting plate 402 into the cavity 401. During the process of the connecting plate 402 entering the cavity 401, it will squeeze the insert plate 404, causing the insert plate 404 to move. The insert plate 404 drives the moving plate 405 to move. The moving plate 405 moves and squeezes the spring 406. The spring 406 deforms and generates elastic potential energy. When the connecting plate 402 is fully inserted into the cavity 401, the spring 406... The elastic potential energy drives the movable plate 405 to reset, and the movable plate 405 drives the insert plate 404 to insert into the slot 403, thereby achieving self-locking of the connecting plate 402, that is, fixing the thickened plate 3 to the bottom of the base plate 1. When it is necessary to disassemble the thickened plate 3, the user moves the movable rod 4051, which drives the movable plate 405 to move. The movement of the movable plate 405 causes the insert plate 404 to separate from the slot 403, and then the thickened plate 3 can be moved downward to disassemble it. The installation and disassembly of the thickened plate 3 makes the centrifugal pump packing gland suitable for different working environments, improving the applicability of the centrifugal pump packing gland.

The preferred embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor do they limit the present utility model to the specific implementation methods described. The present specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments in order to better explain the principle and practical application of the present utility model, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and utilize the present utility model.
