Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a water-saving field that filters and treats its own wastewater before cooling and lubricating the water pump, and in particular to a wastewater treatment device for cooling and lubricating water pump components such as mechanical seals, guide bearings, and bearing bodies. Background Technology

[0002] Water pumps are widely used in various sectors of the national economy, such as split-case pumps, feed pumps, and long-shaft pumps used in steel and coal enterprises, and sewage pumps used in municipal enterprises. Conservative estimates suggest that the total number of pumps used nationwide is no less than several million.

[0003] Split-case pumps, feed pumps, long-shaft pumps, and sewage pumps used by municipal enterprises are applied in different working environments, but their basic structural forms are similar. A key characteristic is the need for cooling and lubrication of certain pump components, especially in submersible sewage pumps where the impeller is submerged while the motor is above ground, resulting in a very long pump body—sometimes several meters, tens of meters, or even hundreds of meters in length. The pump shaft is composed of several short shafts connected by connecting nuts. A key feature of this long shaft is that it is allowed radial runout during pump operation, but this runout cannot exceed permissible limits. Therefore, each short shaft requires a guide bearing (fixed to a guide bearing bracket). The material of this guide bearing has special requirements: it must be both wear-resistant and elastic. If it is not wear-resistant, the pump life will be short, failing to meet product requirements; if it lacks elasticity, the pump shaft will easily break during radial runout. A material that is both elastic and wear-resistant meets this requirement.

[0004] The guide bearing, made of elastic material, mates with the pump shaft, with a gap of approximately 0.01mm between them. Its function is to support and fix the short shafts. Because each short shaft is supported and fixed by a guide bearing made of elastic material, it also supports the long shaft after the pump is connected. Radial runout of the long shaft is allowed during pump operation, but it cannot exceed the allowable value.

[0005] Because the pump shaft rotates while the elastic guide bearing remains stationary during pump operation, clean water is required for cooling and lubrication. This presents two problems: first, the guide bearing and pump shaft cannot dry-rub together; the guide bearing must be lubricated with clean water during pump startup, otherwise it will be damaged instantly; second, the guide bearing still requires clean water for cooling and lubrication during pump operation, and will burn out if the supply is interrupted; third, impurities inevitably enter the pump during operation, and clean water can flush out these impurities from the gap between the guide bearing and pump shaft, preventing damage to the guide bearing. In short, clean water for cooling and lubrication is indispensable.

[0006] The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development adopts the standard CJ / T235-2017 for the production of submersible sewage pumps (long-shaft pumps). This standard stipulates that when there is an external cooling water source, the guide bearing below the waterline can be a rubber bearing; if there is no external water source, the bearing above the waterline should not be a rubber bearing, but should be made of a material with self-lubricating properties.

[0007] The common practice among water pump manufacturers now is to use rubber (sometimes PTFE) for the guide bearing and install an inner tube outside the pump shaft to separate the turbid water from the pump shaft. The upper end of the pump has an external clean water interface, through which cooling water is continuously injected into the pump's inner tube via a connecting pipe. Its function is to cool and lubricate the guide bearing, preventing damage to the guide bearing due to water interruption during startup and operation.

[0008] The use of clean water for cooling and lubrication results in a large consumption of this water, wasting valuable water resources and increasing operating costs for enterprises. A typical steel company spends about 1.3 yuan per ton of water, while desalinated seawater costs as much as 7 yuan per ton. The annual cooling water consumption for water-intensive operations in steel companies ranges from 2 million to 15 million yuan, making it necessary to address this issue. Utility Model Content

[0009] The present invention aims to solve the aforementioned problems in the background technology by providing a device for water pumps that uses sewage self-lubrication and cooling.

[0010] A water pump employing a wastewater self-cooling lubrication device includes a filter box. An inlet pipe is located on one side of the filter box, and an outlet pipe is located on the other side. A drain outlet is located at the bottom of the filter box. The key feature is the installation of a damping filter plate with multiple damping holes on its surface inside the filter box. The damping filter plate divides the filter box into a primary settling chamber and a secondary settling chamber along the water flow direction. A filter element is located within the primary settling chamber. The lower part of the primary settling chamber is a settling space, and the lower end of the filter element is lower than the lowest point of the damping holes on the damping filter plate. A guide plate is located within the primary settling chamber corresponding to the outlet end of the inlet pipe, extending along the front-to-back direction of the primary settling chamber. The guide plate and the primary settling chamber form a downward-facing water outlet.

[0011] Furthermore, the inlet pipe is equipped with an inlet valve and an inlet pressure gauge, and the outlet pipe is equipped with an outlet pressure gauge, a flow meter, an outlet valve, and an electric valve.

[0012] Furthermore, a dosing port is provided on the top plate of the filter box corresponding to the primary settling chamber.

[0013] Furthermore, a heating pipe is installed on the side plate of the filter box corresponding to the lower part of the primary settling chamber, and the main body of the heating pipe is inserted into the primary settling chamber.

[0014] Furthermore, the top plate of the filter box corresponding to the primary settling chamber and the side plate of the filter box are detachable installation structures.

[0015] Furthermore, the filter body is composed of multiple filter brushes.

[0016] Furthermore, the filter brushes are arranged vertically and the core of the filter brushes is detachably mounted on the lower surface of the top plate of the filter box.

[0017] Furthermore, the volume of the primary settling chamber is larger than the volume of the secondary settling chamber;

[0018] Furthermore, the diameter of the inlet pipe is larger than the diameter of the outlet pipe.

[0019] Furthermore, there are two sewage outlets, which are respectively connected to the primary settling chamber and the secondary settling chamber.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model uses the sewage transported by the water pump for filtration treatment, so that it can replace the cooling and lubrication effect of clean water, which can save a lot of water resources, and at the same time save the construction and water cost of clean water supply facilities.
