[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the pump provided in this embodiment includes a volute 1, a bearing housing 2, and a motor housing 3.

[0036] in,

[0037] The volute 1 includes a volute body 11 and a first flange 12. The first flange 12 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the volute body 11. For example, the first flange 12 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the volute body 11. The volute 1 has a first volute groove 13.

[0038] The bearing housing 2 includes a bearing housing body 21 and a second flange 22. The second flange 22 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the bearing housing body 21. For example, the second flange 22 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the bearing housing body 21. A second volute groove 23 is provided at one end of the bearing housing body 21. The second volute groove 23 and the first volute groove 13 are directly opposite each other. The first volute groove 13 and the second volute groove 23 are symmetrical about the groove opening of the volute groove. In other words, the first volute groove 13 and the second volute groove 23 are symmetrical about a surface perpendicular to the pump axis. The groove openings of the first volute groove 13 and the second volute groove 23 are located on the aforementioned surface. The volute 1 is covered by the bearing housing 2. The first volute groove 13 and the second volute groove 23 are fastened together to form a volute 7. That is, the volute 1 is located on the upper side of the bearing housing 2 and is covered by the bearing housing 2. The first volute groove 13 and the second volute groove 23 surround and form the volute 7.

[0039] The motor housing 3 includes a motor housing body 31 and a third flange 32, the third flange 32 being connected to the outer circumferential surface of the motor housing body 31; the bearing housing body 21 is located inside the motor housing body 31 and the volute body 11; the first flange 12, the second flange 22 and the third flange 32 are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the pump and are connected by a connector 4. The connector 4 can be a bolt.

[0040] It is understood that in this embodiment, "up" and "down" are relative to... Figure 1 In other words, the inner side is the side closer to the central axis of the pump's shaft 9 compared to the outer side.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first volute groove 13 and the second volute groove 23 are symmetrical about the groove opening of the volute groove, that is, the volute 7 is symmetrical about the groove opening of the volute groove, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire pump and reducing the noise and vibration of the pump. The volute 7 is formed by connecting the volute housing 1 and the bearing seat 2. The upper half of the volute 7 (the first volute groove 13) is placed on the volute housing 1, and the lower half (the second volute groove 23) is placed on the bearing seat 2. At the same time, the lower half of the volute 7 is completely located inside the space enclosed by the volute housing 1 and the motor housing 3, reducing the axial dimension of the pump. The first flange 12, the second flange 22 and the third flange 32 are connected by the connector 4 to achieve concentric positioning, which simplifies the assembly of the pump and increases the assembly efficiency.

[0042] Optionally, the outer contour of the longitudinal section (section along the central axis) of the first volute groove 13 and the second volute groove 23 is arc-shaped. In other optional embodiments, the outer contour of the longitudinal section (section along the axial direction) of the first volute groove 13 and the second volute groove 23 can also be a part of a square or two sides of a triangle, as long as the first volute groove 13 and the second volute groove 23 are symmetrical about the groove opening of the volute groove.

[0043] The volute body 11 includes a first opening ring 111 and a first body 112, wherein the first body 112 is connected to one end of the first opening ring 111, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the first body 112 is connected to the upper end of the first inlet ring 111. The first volute groove 13 is formed on the first body 112. The first inlet ring 111 is an axially extending ring structure, and the first body 112 extends axially and radially to form the first volute groove 13 thereon.

[0044] The bearing housing body 21 includes a second retaining ring 211 and a second body 212, the second body 212 being connected to one end of the second retaining ring 211, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the second body 212 is connected to the upper end of the second inlet ring 211. The second volute groove 23 is formed on the second body 212, which is located inside the second inlet ring 211, thereby reducing the axial dimension of the bearing housing 2 and making the pump structure compact. Furthermore, the second body 212 does not protrude from the second inlet ring 211 in the axial direction.

[0045] The second ring 211 is an axially extending ring structure, and the second body 212 extends axially and radially to form a second volute groove 23 thereon.

[0046] A first sealing ring 5 is provided between the first ring 111 and the second ring 211. The first ring 111 and the second ring 211 facilitate the installation of the first sealing ring 5 and ensure the sealed connection between the bearing housing 2 and the volute 1.

[0047] The bearing housing 2 also includes a fourth retaining ring 25, which is connected to the side of the second flange 22 away from the bearing housing body 21, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the fourth ring 25 is connected to the lower side of the second flange 22.

[0048] A second sealing ring 6 is provided between the fourth sealing ring 25 and the motor housing body 31. The fourth sealing ring 25 facilitates the installation of the second sealing ring 6 and ensures a seal between the bearing seat 2 and the motor housing 3.

[0049] The first body 112 is also provided with a first impeller chamber groove 14, which is located on the radial inner side of the first volute groove 13 and is connected to the first volute groove 13.

[0050] The second body 212 also has a second impeller chamber groove 24, which is located radially inside the second volute groove 23 and communicates with it. The first impeller chamber groove 14 and the second impeller chamber groove 24 form the impeller chamber 20.

[0051] Since the first impeller chamber groove 14 is connected to the first volute groove 13, and the second impeller chamber groove 24 is connected to the second volute groove 23, the first volute 7 and the first impeller chamber 20 are connected. The impeller chamber 20 is located on the first body 112 and the second body 212, making it easier to form.

[0052] The volute 1 also includes a third opening ring 15, which is connected to the end of the first body 112 away from the first opening ring 111, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the third ring 15 is connected to the upper end of the first body 112.

[0053] The third ring 15 forms the pump inlet 8, which is connected to the first impeller chamber groove 14.

[0054] The first body 112 has a first opening at its center, through which the water inlet 8 and the first impeller chamber groove 14 are connected. The first opening is coaxial with the first body 112 and extends axially through the first body 112 to connect the water inlet 8 and the impeller chamber 20.

[0055] The pump also includes a rotating shaft 9 and a bearing 10, with the bearing 10 sleeved outside the rotating shaft 9 and a bearing housing 2 sleeved outside the bearing 10. The pump also includes an impeller 30, which is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 9 and located within the impeller chamber 20. The rotating shaft 9 can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the impeller 30 to rotate. The rotation of the impeller 30 draws water entering through the inlet 8 into the volute chamber 7. After flowing through the volute chamber 7, the water flows out from the pump's outlet.

[0056] The second body 212 is also provided with a second opening, which is coaxial with the second body 212 and extends through the second body 212 along the axial direction so that the rotating shaft 9 passes through the second body 212.

[0057] Optionally, the volute 1 is integrally formed, such as by casting or injection molding.

[0058] Optionally, the bearing housing 2 is integrally formed, such as by casting or injection molding.

[0059] For example, the motor housing body 31 and the third flange 32 are integrally formed, such as by casting or injection molding.

[0060] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions, specific embodiments, and experiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
