The use of terms like "first" and "second" is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the quantity or sequence of the indicated technical features.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0033] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic flow regulation and pressure stabilization device for a submersible pump, including a ground 1, a submersible pump 5, and a control box 4, and a support assembly. The support assembly is disposed on the surface of the submersible pump 5 and includes a fixed cylinder 14, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the submersible pump 5. Two connecting rings 15 are fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed cylinder 14, and a fixed rod 16 is fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the two connecting rings 15. A first fixed cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed rod 16, and a movable cylinder 18 is slidably connected to the surface of the fixed rod 16. A limiting ring 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first fixed cylinder 17. A return spring 20 is sleeved on the surface of the fixed rod 16. The two ends of the return spring 20 are fixedly connected to the limiting ring 19 and the first fixed cylinder 17, respectively. A connecting rod 21 is hinged to the surface of the movable cylinder 18. A connecting frame 22 is hinged to the surface of the connecting rod 21. Two rollers 23 are rotatably connected to the surface of the connecting frame 22. The first fixed cylinder 17, the movable cylinder 18, the limiting ring 19, the return spring 20, and the connecting rod 21 are all symmetrically arranged in two sets on the upper and lower sides of the fixed rod 16.

[0034] The number of fixed rod 16, first fixed cylinder 17, movable cylinder 18, limit ring 19, return spring 20, connecting rod 21, connecting frame 22 and roller 23 are all symmetrically arranged on the outside of fixed cylinder 14 in four sets.

[0035] There are two sets of support components, symmetrically arranged on the surface of the submersible pump 5.

[0036] A first buffer tank 2 is installed at the upper end of ground 1. A first connecting pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the left side of the first buffer tank 2. A second buffer tank 3 is installed at the upper end of ground 1. The end of the first connecting pipe 6 away from the first buffer tank 2 is connected to the submersible pump 5. A second connecting pipe 7 is fixedly connected between the first buffer tank 2 and the second buffer tank 3. A third connecting pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the right side of the second buffer tank 3. A fourth connecting pipe 9 is fixedly connected between the second connecting pipe 7 and the third connecting pipe 8.

[0037] An electromagnetic flowmeter 10 is installed inside the third connecting pipe 8.

[0038] The control box 4 contains a PLC controller, a controller for controlling the submersible pump 5, and a controller for controlling the electromagnetic flowmeter 10.

[0039] The upper end of the first buffer tank 2 is equipped with a pressure gauge 11, a pressure relief valve 12, and a pressure switch 13. The upper end of the second buffer tank 3 is also equipped with a pressure gauge 11, a pressure relief valve 12, and a pressure switch 13.

[0040] When using this device, the support assembly plays a key role in the operation of placing the submersible pump 5 into or taking it out of the well. The connecting frame 22 and roller 23 in the support assembly are supported on the inner wall of the well. The setting of roller 23 greatly reduces the friction between roller 23 and the inner wall of the well. When lowering or taking out the submersible pump 5, roller 23 can roll on the well wall, making the whole operation process smoother.

[0041] If the well wall obstructs the process, the connecting rod 21 hinged to the surface of the movable cylinder 18 will play a role. When obstructed, the connecting rod 21 will drive the movable cylinder 18 to slide on the surface of the fixed rod 16, thereby compressing the return spring 20. The compression of the return spring 20 can absorb and buffer the resistance from the well wall, preventing the submersible pump 5 from being damaged by excessive impact force. At the same time, it can also reduce the operating resistance during the lowering or retrieval process, making it easier for the submersible pump 5 to enter and exit the well.

[0042] Since the number of fixed rod 16, first fixed cylinder 17, movable cylinder 18, limit ring 19, return spring 20, connecting rod 21, connecting frame 22 and roller 23 are all symmetrically arranged in four sets on the outside of fixed cylinder 14, and the number of support components is symmetrically arranged in two sets on the surface of submersible pump 5, this symmetrical structural design can provide uniform support and buffer for submersible pump 5, ensuring that it maintains balance and stability during well entry and exit.

[0043] When the submersible pump 5 is working, the pumped water flows into the first buffer tank 2 through the first connecting pipe 6. At this time, since the fourth connecting pipe 9 is connected to the second connecting pipe 7 and the third connecting pipe 8, the water flowing from the first buffer tank 2 to the second buffer tank 3 through the second connecting pipe 7 is diverted, so that the first buffer tank 2, the second buffer tank 3, the first connecting pipe 6, the second connecting pipe 7, the third connecting pipe 8 and the fourth connecting pipe 9 form a combined connection, connecting the two buffer tanks to the submersible pump outlet pipeline in a combination of parallel and series connection. This connection method helps to more flexibly adjust the water flow path and pressure distribution, and further stabilize the water flow.

[0044] The electromagnetic flow meter 10 installed inside the third connecting pipe 8 monitors the flow rate data of the water in real time and transmits this data to the controller in the control box 4 that controls the electromagnetic flow meter 10; the PLC controller in the control box 4 analyzes and processes this flow rate data.

[0045] When the monitored flow rate deviates from the preset standard flow rate value, the PLC controller will send a command to the controller controlling the submersible pump 5. The controller controlling the submersible pump 5 will adjust the operating parameters of the submersible pump 5 according to the received command, change the motor speed of the submersible pump 5, thereby adjusting the pumping flow rate of the submersible pump 5, so that the flow rate gradually approaches and stabilizes at the preset value.

[0046] The first buffer tank 2 and the second buffer tank 3 play a role in buffering and stabilizing pressure in the whole system; they can alleviate the water flow impact and pressure fluctuations generated when the submersible pump 5 pumps water, making the water flow more stable.

[0047] The pressure gauge 11 installed on the upper end of the first buffer tank 2 and the second buffer tank 3 will display the pressure value inside the tank in real time; the pressure switch 13 is preset with upper and lower pressure limits; when the pressure inside the tank exceeds the upper limit, the pressure switch 13 will trigger a signal, and after receiving the signal, the control box 4 will control the pressure relief valve 12 to open, release the excess pressure, and prevent excessive pressure from damaging the pipelines and equipment.

[0048] Conversely, when the pressure inside the tank is lower than the lower limit, the pressure switch 13 will also trigger a signal, and the control box 4 will control the submersible pump 5 to increase the pumping power or adjust other relevant parameters as needed to increase the pressure inside the system and restore it to a stable pressure range.

[0049] Furthermore, the connection rod 21, the connection frame 22, and the roller 23 facilitate the support and protection of the outside of the submersible pump 5, reduce frictional resistance, and improve operating efficiency. The four sets of components, such as the fixed rod 16 and the first fixed cylinder 17, are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the fixed cylinder 14, and the two sets of support components are symmetrically installed on the surface of the submersible pump 5. This ensures that the submersible pump 5 maintains balance and stability during the entry and exit of the well, prevents it from tilting or shaking inside the well, reduces the risk of equipment damage due to collision, and improves operational safety. At the same time, since the return spring 20 is located inside the first fixed cylinder 17, it can prevent impurities from damaging the return spring 20, thus improving the stability of the device during use.
