Description

A cantilever submersible pump structure equipped with a mechanical seal Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of submersible pump technology, specifically a cantilever submersible pump structure equipped with a mechanical seal. Background Technology

[0002] Submersible pumps are suitable for long-term transportation of various corrosive media such as strong acids, alkalis, salts, and strong oxidants of any concentration. Their working parts are submerged in the liquid, ensuring leak-free shaft seals. They are characterized by their small footprint, reliable operation, convenient maintenance, and strong corrosion resistance. They are widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, papermaking, and petroleum industries.

[0003] The existing submersible pump's vertical motor is bolted to the motor mount and directly driven by the pump via a flexible coupling. The pump body, intermediate connecting pipe, pump frame, outlet pipe, and pipe flange are all bolted together and fixed to a base plate. The entire pump is mounted on the container via the base plate. The pump's axial and radial forces (including water pressure generated during pump operation, impeller and rotor weight, etc.) are borne by single-direction thrust ball bearings and single-row radial ball bearings installed in the bearing housing, as well as by the sliding guide shaft, to ensure the pump's safe and normal operation. The bearings are lubricated with grease, and the guide bearing is lubricated by the liquid being pumped. Therefore, the liquid level must be higher than the impeller centerline during operation. Depending on the length L extending into the container, there are structures with intermediate guide bearings and structures without intermediate guide bearings. However, while existing submersible pumps are equipped with V-ring seals, which are convenient for installation and maintenance, during operation, the shaft and other components experience more friction, resulting in higher frictional losses, reduced efficiency, faster wear of components, and a shorter service life. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cantilever submersible pump structure with a mechanical seal to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A cantilever submersible pump structure with a mechanical seal includes a mounting base plate. Below the mounting base plate, a support pipe, a pump cover, and an inlet housing are arranged in sequence. An outlet pipe is connected to the side of the inlet housing. Above the mounting base plate, a sealing housing, a bearing bracket, and a motor bracket are arranged in sequence. A motor is mounted on the top of the motor bracket. A rotating shaft is connected below the output shaft of the motor. The rotating shaft passes through the motor bracket, bearing bracket, sealing housing, mounting base plate, support pipe, and pump cover in sequence. The lower end of the rotating shaft is located inside the inlet housing, and an impeller is provided at the lower end of the rotating shaft.

[0007] Preferably, the support pipe and the pump cover, the support pipe and the mounting base plate, the mounting base plate and the sealing box, the connection between the rotating shaft and the pump cover, and the connection between the rotating shaft and the sealing box are all sealed.

[0008] Preferably, the rotating shaft and the bearing bracket are rotatably connected at both ends by bearings.

[0009] Preferably, the liquid inlet at the bottom of the liquid inlet housing is equipped with a filter screen.

[0010] Preferably, the outlet pipe adopts an L-shaped structure, with its horizontal section connected to the side of the inlet housing and its vertical section passing through the mounting base plate.

[0011] Preferably, the connection between the liquid outlet pipe and the mounting base plate is fixed by a liquid outlet pipe fixing flange, and a liquid outlet flange is provided at the upper end of the vertical section of the liquid outlet pipe.

[0012] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] In this invention, by setting a sealing box above the mounting base plate, the part below the sealing box can be mechanically sealed, so that the pressure inside the pump is stable during the operation of the submersible pump, and liquid cannot enter. This reduces the friction loss of various components, improves working efficiency, reduces the wear rate of components, increases service life, and extends the operating time.

Below the mounting base plate 1, a support pipe 2, a pump cover 3, and an inlet housing 4 are arranged in sequence. An outlet pipe 5 is connected to the side of the inlet housing 4. Above the mounting base plate 1, a sealing box 6, a bearing bracket 7, and a motor bracket 8 are arranged in sequence. A motor 81 is mounted on the top of the motor bracket 8.

[0030] In one possible implementation, mechanical seals are used between the support pipe 2 and the pump cover 3, between the support pipe 2 and the mounting base plate 1, between the mounting base plate 1 and the sealing housing 6, at the connection between the rotating shaft 9 and the pump cover 3, and at the connection between the rotating shaft 9 and the sealing housing 6.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the rotating shaft 9 and the bearing bracket 7 are rotatably connected at both ends by bearings 71.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the upper end of the rotating shaft 9 is sealed to the sealing housing 6, the lower end of the rotating shaft 9 is sealed to the pump cover 3, and the pump body below the sealing housing 6 is mechanically sealed, so that the pressure inside the pump is stable and liquid cannot enter.
