Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water pumps, specifically a high-efficiency water pump suction port that extends the service life of a water pump. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional water pumps have inlet pipes and inlets that extend directly into the bottom of the pool to draw water. This type of inlet, close to the bottom, easily turbids the water and attracts debris such as stones, mud, and weeds, causing wear on the pump turbine, shortening its lifespan, reducing efficiency, and in severe cases, causing the pump to seize up and become unusable. Furthermore, because the traditional inlet is horizontally placed at the bottom, it cannot draw water if the water level is below the inlet height, preventing complete pumping. Therefore, this paper proposes a high-efficiency water pump inlet with a cut-hole design to extend the pump's lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-efficiency water pump inlet that extends the service life of a water pump in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a high-efficiency water pump inlet for extending the service life of a water pump, comprising a filter screen, an inlet pipe, and an inlet float. A filter screen is provided at one end of the inlet pipe, and the inlet pipe is mounted on the inlet float.

[0005] Preferably, the filter screen is made of metal.

[0006] Preferably, the other end of the inlet pipe is provided with an inlet connector, and the inlet connector is provided with a connector clamp, which is connected to the main inlet pipe of the water pump.

[0007] Preferably, a shut-off valve is installed on the water inlet pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the filter screen is connected to one end of the water inlet pipe by a thread.

[0009] Preferably, the inlet float is composed of several float blocks, one of which has a connecting protrusion on its outer ring surface. The connecting protrusion engages with a connecting concave block. The connecting concave block is located on the inner ring surface of an adjacent float block. The float block is composed of two semi-floating blocks engaged with each other.

[0010] Preferably, the inlet float is provided with a connecting and fixing rope.

[0011] Preferably, the filter screen is planar;

[0012] Preferably, the filter screen is semi-circular.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. By using an inlet float, the inlet pipe is made to float on the water surface, avoiding the problems of traditional water pumps where the inlet pipe and inlet are directly inserted into the bottom of the water to pump water, the inlet is close to the bottom of the pool, which easily stirs up the water and makes it impossible to completely drain the water, thus improving the pumping effect and efficiency.

[0015] 2. Using a filter screen can filter out some floating or suspended impurities, preventing some debris from being sucked into the water pump, causing wear on the water pump turbine, and in severe cases, directly leading to the water pump seizing up and becoming unusable. It effectively prevents debris from the bottom of the water from being sucked into the water pump, and can drain the water to the maximum extent, improving pumping efficiency and extending the service life of the water pump.

[0028] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Example

[0031] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, a high-efficiency water pump inlet for extending the service life of a water pump includes a filter screen 1, an inlet pipe 3, and an inlet float 6. The filter screen 1 is installed at one end of the inlet pipe 3, and the inlet pipe 3 is set on the inlet float 6. The inlet float 6 makes the inlet float on the water surface, preventing the inlet from sticking to the bottom of the pool and stirring up the water. At the same time, the filter screen 1 can filter some floating or suspended impurities.

[0032] The filter screen 1 is made of metal. Utilizing gravity, the filter screen 1 faces downwards towards the water surface. The other end of the inlet pipe 3 is equipped with an inlet connector 4, which has a connector clamp 5. The connector clamp 5 connects to the main water inlet pipe of the water pump, allowing the inlet pipe 3 to connect to the main water inlet pipe of the water pump via the inlet connector 4. The connector is made of rubber and is locked to the main water inlet pipe using a clamp. A shut-off valve 2 is installed on the inlet pipe 3 for ease of use. The filter screen 1 is flat for easy placement and transportation.

[0033] In use, the inlet pipe 3 is connected to the main inlet pipe of the water pump via the inlet connector 4. The connector is made of rubber, and the connector clamp 5 is locked to the main inlet pipe of the water pump in a clamping manner. After the water pump inlet pipe is connected to the inlet pipe 3, the inlet pipe 3 is placed in the water body that needs to be pumped. The inlet float 6 makes the inlet at one end of the inlet pipe 3 float on the water surface, avoiding the situation where the inlet pipe and inlet of the traditional water pump are directly inserted into the bottom of the water to pump water, the inlet is close to the bottom of the pool, which easily stirs up the water and makes it impossible to completely pump out the water.

[0034] Filter screen 1 is made of metal. Due to gravity, filter screen 1 will face downwards towards the water surface. Filter screen 1 can filter some floating or suspended impurities, preventing some debris from being sucked into the water pump, causing wear on the water pump turbine, shortening the water pump's service life, reducing the water pump's working efficiency, and in severe cases, directly causing the water pump to seize up and become unusable. It improves water pumping efficiency and extends the service life of the water pump.

[0035] Furthermore, there is a shut-off valve 2 between the filter screen 1 and the inlet pipe 3. When water is added manually before the water pump is started, it can ensure that the water in the inlet pipe and the inlet will not flow out. At the same time, it can also prevent water from flowing out of the inlet when the water in the pipe is not completely drained during winding, transportation and storage, which would cause problems. Example

[0036] Please see Figure 5-10 As shown, a high-efficiency water pump inlet for extending the service life of a water pump includes a filter screen 1, an inlet pipe 3, and an inlet float 6. The filter screen 1 is installed at one end of the inlet pipe 3, and the inlet pipe 3 is set on the inlet float 6. The inlet float 6 makes the inlet float on the water surface, preventing the inlet from sticking to the bottom of the pool and stirring up the water. At the same time, the filter screen 1 can filter some floating or suspended impurities.

[0037] The filter screen 1 is made of metal and, due to gravity, faces downwards towards the water surface. The other end of the inlet pipe 3 is equipped with an inlet connector 4, which has a connector clamp 5. The connector clamp 5 connects to the main water inlet pipe of the water pump, allowing the inlet pipe 3 to connect to the main water inlet pipe via the inlet connector 4. The connector is made of rubber and is secured to the main water inlet pipe using a clamp. A shut-off valve 2 is installed on the inlet pipe 3 for easy use. The filter screen 1 is threaded to one end of the inlet pipe 3, making it detachable and easy to replace, suitable for use in different environments, and enhancing its practicality. The inlet float 6 is composed of several float blocks 601. One of the float blocks 601 has a connecting protrusion 6011 on its outer ring surface. The connecting protrusion 6011 engages with a connecting concave block 6012. The connecting concave block 6012 is located on the inner ring surface of an adjacent float block 601. Each float block 601 is composed of two semi-floating blocks 602, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the inlet float 6 and its use. The float size can also be adjusted, making it suitable for various types of water pumps. The inlet float 6 is equipped with a connecting and fixing rope 603 for easy fixing and retrieval. The filter screen 1 is semi-circular, increasing the pumping area and improving pumping efficiency.

[0038] In use, this utility model patent utilizes an inlet float 6 to keep the inlet of the inlet pipe 3 floating on the water surface. Since different water pump models require different sizes of inlet floats 6, the inlet float 6 is composed of several float blocks 601. Each float block 601 is formed by two semi-floating blocks 602 engaging. Adjacent float blocks 601 are connected by a connecting protrusion 6011 and a connecting concave block 6012. The size of the float can be adjusted according to the water pump model to ensure that the inlet float 6 always remains close to a specific depth below the water surface. Furthermore, the inlet float 6 is equipped with a connecting rope 603. One end of the connecting rope 603 can be fitted with a rivet to secure the inlet float 6. The position of the inlet float 6 can be moved by pulling the connecting rope 603, facilitating use and retrieval.

[0039] The semi-circular shape of filter screen 1 increases the water pumping area, further improving the pumping efficiency. Filter screen 1 is also designed for easy removal via a threaded detachable mechanism, allowing for replacement and making it suitable for use in different environments. Furthermore, the easy cleaning of filter screen 1 extends the service life of the water pump.
