[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the present invention, a horizontal multistage centrifugal pump with a cooling structure includes a pump casing 1, which is formed with multiple pump chambers 4. The output end of one pump chamber 4 located at one end is connected to a water outlet pipe 3, and the input end of another pump chamber 4 located at the other end is connected to a water inlet pipe 2. An impeller 5 is arranged in the pump chamber 4 located in the middle position. Multiple impellers 5 are coaxially connected by a rotating shaft 11. End caps 8 are installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 11. The two ends of the rotating shaft 11 are rotatably installed with the inner wall of the end cap 8 through bearings 16. A sealing mechanism connected to the rotating shaft 11 is installed on the inner wall of the end cap 8. Cooling mechanisms for cooling the sealing mechanism are distributed inside the end cap 8 and the pump casing 1. An inlet 6 with a diameter larger than the rotating shaft 11 is opened on the protective plate of the impeller 5 near the water inlet pipe 2. An outlet 7 is provided between the blades of the impeller 5. The outlet 7 is connected to the inner cavity of the pump chamber 4.

[0021] In this embodiment: First, the motor connected to the rotating shaft 11 is started. The output shaft of the motor drives the rotating shaft 11 to rotate through the coupling. The rotating shaft 11 drives multiple impellers 5 to rotate in the corresponding pump chambers 4. The rotation of the impellers 5 generates suction to draw water from the inlet pipe 2 into the pump chamber 4. The water passes through the inlet 6 under negative pressure and enters the outlet 7 through the inlet 6. Finally, it is discharged from the outlet 7 into the pump chamber 4, and is pushed step by step. Finally, it is discharged outward from the outlet pipe 3.

[0022] During the above process, the sealing mechanism can prevent water from flowing out from both ends of the rotating shaft 11, ensuring the sealing effect. In addition, as the water flows in the pump chamber 4, it enters the cooling mechanism to dissipate heat from the sealing mechanism, preventing the two parts of the sealing mechanism from overheating due to friction, and ensuring the service life of the sealing mechanism.

[0023] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The sealing mechanism includes a dynamic sealing ring 12 coaxially fixedly installed on the outer end of the rotating shaft 11; the sealing mechanism also includes a fixed ring 14 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the end cover 8, a guide shaft 15 is slidably installed inside the fixed ring 14, a static sealing ring 13 is fixedly installed at one end of the guide shaft 15 near the dynamic sealing ring 12, and a spring 17 sleeved on the guide shaft 15 is fixedly connected between the fixed ring 14 and the static sealing ring 13.

[0024] In this embodiment: when the rotating shaft 11 rotates, the rotating shaft 11 drives the dynamic sealing ring 12 to rotate. At this time, the static sealing ring 13, which is in contact with the dynamic sealing ring 12, remains stationary. The spring 17 is in a compressed state, which can always provide pressure to the static sealing ring 13, so that the static sealing ring 13 and the dynamic sealing ring 12 are always kept in a tight fit, thereby ensuring the sealing of both ends of the rotating shaft 11.

[0025] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cooling mechanism includes a water cavity 10 opened on the inner wall of the cylindrical part of the end cover 8, and two through holes 9 connected to the water cavity 10 are opened on the end plate of the pump housing 1.

[0026] In this embodiment: after the water enters the pump chamber 4, some of the water enters the water chamber 10 through the through hole 9. At this time, the water exchanges heat with the inner wall of the cylindrical part of the end cover 8, thereby avoiding the aging phenomenon caused by friction overheating between the dynamic sealing ring 12 and the static sealing ring 13, and extending the service life of the sealing mechanism.

[0027] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 5 The cylindrical outer wall of the end cover 8 is integrally formed with an outwardly protruding limiting insert 18. The inner wall of the pump housing 1 at the end into which the end cover 8 is inserted is provided with a limiting groove that matches the limiting insert 18. A rubber sealing ring is installed at the contact position between the end plate of the end cover 8 and the pump housing 1.

[0028] In this embodiment: when installing the end cover 8, the end cover 8 drives the limiting plug 18 to align with the limiting groove and insert it. Then, bolts and nuts are used to fix the end cover 8. At this time, the rubber sealing ring is deformed under pressure and completely fills the gap.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
