Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical equipment maintenance tools, specifically, it relates to a tool for disassembling and assembling threaded impellers. Background Technology

[0002] Centrifugal pumps are widely used in industrial production, especially in the chemical industry, where they are an indispensable piece of equipment. Their working principle involves using the centrifugal force generated by a high-speed rotating impeller to energize and flow the liquid medium, thus achieving the transport of the liquid. A centrifugal pump mainly consists of components such as a pump casing, impeller, main shaft, pump cover, bearings, seals, intermediate supports, and suspension components.

[0003] The impeller is a crucial component of a centrifugal pump, responsible for energizing the transported medium and thus enabling its transport. Based on structural design, impellers are classified into three types: open impellers, semi-open impellers, and closed impellers. Furthermore, based on their installation method with the main shaft, impellers are divided into keyway impellers and threaded impellers. Due to their advantages such as high energizing power, high efficiency, and strong anti-loosening performance, closed threaded impellers are widely used in applications requiring high speed, high pressure, large head, and large flow rate for transporting media with low solid particle content.

[0004] A closed-type threaded impeller, as the name suggests, is a closed impeller with a disc, blades, and cover plate, and is threadedly connected to the main shaft. The threads of a threaded impeller are typically left-handed, meaning the thread direction is opposite to the direction of rotation of the main shaft. This ensures that if the main shaft and impeller move relative to each other due to excessive resistance during pump operation, the impeller will tighten further, preventing loosening or detachment and effectively avoiding pump failure. While threaded impellers offer strong anti-loosening capabilities and high installation reliability, maintenance is extremely inconvenient. After operation, the impeller and main shaft become very tightly fitted, making disassembly very difficult. Currently, no practical and effective disassembly tool has been found; simple tools such as pry bars and steel chisels are still used to insert into the impeller's flow channel for manipulation. This method is crude and results in single-point force on the impeller, leading to poor disassembly results, difficulty in removing the impeller, and potential damage to the impeller, thus reducing pump efficiency.

[0005] For example, when the mechanical seal of the engineering plastic centrifugal pump in the absorption circulation tank leaks, during the maintenance and replacement of the mechanical seal, a pry bar is used to insert into the closed threaded impeller flow channel to turn and remove the impeller. At this time, there is a problem that it cannot be turned. Once it cannot be turned, the impeller cannot be removed, and the mechanical seal cannot be replaced. If it is forcibly turned, it will cause damage to the impeller and pose a risk of equipment damage. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To overcome the problems existing in the background technology, this utility model provides a threaded impeller disassembly and assembly tool, which can safely disassemble threaded impellers, especially closed threaded impellers, without easily causing damage to the impeller. It also features a compact structure, convenient installation, and simple operation, which can greatly improve the safety of threaded impeller installation and disassembly and effectively avoid damage caused by maintenance.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0008] The aforementioned threaded impeller assembly and disassembly tool includes a rotating hub, a spinning blade, and a polygonal cylinder; the rotating hub includes a base and a sleeve; the base, sleeve, and polygonal cylinder are connected sequentially from right to left, and the base has a shaft hole that communicates with the sleeve and the polygonal cylinder; the spinning blade is detachably connected to the base.

[0009] Preferably, the base has circumferentially distributed blade mounting slots on its left end face; the blade mounting slot area has positioning threaded holes; the spun blade has a recessed platform that matches the blade mounting slots and the base; the recessed platform has a waist-shaped hole; the spun blade and the base are connected by positioning screws.

[0010] Preferably, the threaded impeller disassembly and assembly tool further includes a locking chuck; the base is also provided with a locking threaded hole; the locking threaded hole avoids the opening of the blade mounting slot; the locking chuck is a flange structure; the recess of the spun blade is clamped between the locking chuck and the base by a positioning screw and a locking bolt; wherein, the positioning screw is connected to the positioning threaded hole, and the locking bolt is connected to the locking threaded hole.

[0011] Preferably, the positioning screw is a double-ended bolt structure and is fitted with a clamping nut.

[0012] Preferably, the threaded impeller assembly and disassembly tool also includes a wrench; the wrench is compatible with the polygonal cylinder.

[0013] Preferably, the base, sleeve, and polygonal cylindrical body are integral structures or welded together.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention enables the safe removal of threaded impellers, especially closed threaded impellers, without easily causing damage to the impeller. It also features a compact structure, convenient installation, and simple operation, which greatly improves the safety of threaded impeller installation and disassembly, and effectively avoids damage caused by maintenance.

[0016] In operation, this utility model only requires inserting the rotating hub into the water pump main shaft, then installing the spinning impeller (for closed impellers, it is pinned in from inside the impeller flow channel), locking the chuck, and using the positioning screw, locking bolt, and clamping nut to fix and lock the spinning impeller onto the rotating hub. Then, the threaded impeller can be disassembled and assembled by using a heavy-duty wrench. This fills the gap in the field of disassembly and assembly tools for threaded impellers, especially closed threaded impellers. Moreover, during disassembly and assembly, the impeller is subjected to force at multiple points, solving the technical problems of current threaded impeller disassembly and assembly tools being simple, rough in operation, subject to single-point force on the impeller, difficult to disassemble, and prone to impeller damage.
