This design gives it unique advantages and makes it widely applicable in high-flow-rate, high-head applications.
[0003] Existing double-suction pumps typically use external circulation pipelines to cool and lubricate mechanical seals or packing seals, resulting in complex structures, large space requirements, and susceptibility to leaks or blockages in the pipelines, which can affect sealing performance. Furthermore, most double-suction pumps have their suction and discharge ports located on opposite sides of the pump body, requiring disassembly of the inlet and outlet pipes when overhauling the rotor components, which increases maintenance time and costs. Utility Model Content

Existing double-suction pumps usually use external circulation pipelines to cool and lubricate mechanical seals or packing seals, resulting in complex structures, large space occupation, and easy to affect sealing performance due to pipeline leakage or blockage. In addition, most double-suction pumps have their suction and discharge ports located on both sides of the pump body, and the inlet and outlet pipelines need to be disassembled when repairing rotor components, which increases maintenance time and cost.

[0012] Preferably, the pump body also has a main shaft that is transversely inserted inside the pump body, and bushings are provided at both ends of the main shaft, the bushings being connected to bearings provided inside the sealing chamber.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solutions, the stability and coaxiality of the spindle operation can be ensured. The bushing design not only protects the spindle surface but also facilitates replacement after wear, reducing maintenance costs.
[0014] Preferably, the spindle has a shortened shaft spacing and an increased shaft diameter to extend the service life of the sealing chamber and the bearings inside the sealing chamber, and the spindle has a fully enclosed structure.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solutions, the rigidity and bending resistance of the spindle can be improved, and vibration and runout can be reduced; the fully enclosed structure effectively prevents the spindle from being corroded by the medium, thus extending its service life.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a built-in lubrication double-suction pump, including a base 1 and a pump body 2.
[0026] The pump body 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1 by anchor bolts. The pump body 2 has a bottom shell 201 set on the top of the base 1. The bottom shell 201 is fastened to the top cover 202 by flange bolts. The top cover 202 has an internal pipe 203 made by precision machining. The bottom shell 201 and the top cover 202 are sealed to form a chamber by O-ring seals. A sealing chamber 204 is set in the chamber. The internal pipe 203 is connected to the sealing chamber 204 by a threaded interface. Water enters the sealing chamber 204 from the internal pipe 203 in the chamber to achieve cooling. This can realize the internal lubrication and cooling of the sealing system, eliminating the need for external circulation pipelines, simplifying the structure of the pump body 2, improving sealing reliability, and reducing installation and maintenance costs.
[0027] The desired effect of this embodiment is that, through the integrated design of the built-in lubrication system, the self-sufficient cooling and lubrication of the dual-suction pump sealing system is realized, which effectively solves the problems of complex structure and easy leakage of traditional external circulation pipelines, making the pump body 2 more compact and easier to maintain.
[0028] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a built-in lubrication double-suction pump, including a pump body 2, a bottom shell 201, and a top cover 202.
[0029] The built-in pipe 203 is symmetrically machined along the axis of the top cover 202 and is located inside the top cover 202. The top outer side of the top cover 202 is welded with reinforcing ribs to ensure that the lubricant is evenly distributed to both sides of the sealing system and to avoid insufficient lubrication on one side. The setting of the reinforcing ribs not only improves the structural strength of the top cover 202, but also does not affect the arrangement of the built-in pipe 203, thus achieving a balance between strength and function.
[0030] The bottom shell 201 and the top cover 202 are fixedly connected by bolts. Both the bottom shell 201 and the top cover 202 are made of resin sand mold, which ensures the appearance, flow channel size and hydraulic efficiency of the pump. The bottom ends of the bottom shell 201 are respectively connected by flanges to the suction port pipe and the discharge port pipe, which can realize the quick disassembly and maintenance of the pump body 2. The resin sand casting process ensures the smoothness and dimensional accuracy of the flow channel surface and improves the hydraulic efficiency of the pump. The symmetrical arrangement of the suction port and the suction port pipe is conducive to the balanced transportation of fluid.
[0031] The pump body 2 also has a main shaft 205 that is transversely inserted inside the pump body 2. The main shaft 205 is fixed to the bushings at both ends by a key connection. The bushings are connected to the bearings inside the sealing chamber 204 by an interference fit, which can ensure the stability and coaxiality of the main shaft 205 during operation. The bushing design protects the surface of the main shaft 205 and facilitates replacement after wear, reducing maintenance costs. When in use, the main shaft 205 needs to be connected to an external motor through a coupling. The motor drives the main shaft 205 to rotate. The working principle of the motor is based on electromagnetic induction and Lorentz force. The motor generates force in the magnetic field through current, thereby driving mechanical motion. The above is the existing technology and will not be elaborated further below. When selecting the model, its power should be selected to suit the needs of the device to ensure that the object to be driven is driven.
[0032] The spindle 205 adopts a design that shortens the shaft spacing and increases the shaft diameter, and is precision machined to extend the service life of the sealing chamber 204 and the bearings inside the sealing chamber 204. The spindle 205 is a fully enclosed structure with a chrome-plated surface. This improves the rigidity and bending resistance of the spindle 205, reduces vibration and runout; the fully enclosed structure effectively prevents media corrosion of the spindle 205, extending its service life.
[0033] The pump body 2 also has an impeller 206 installed inside the pump body 2. The impeller 206 is coaxially fixed to the main shaft 205 by a locking nut. The impeller 206 has symmetrical suction ports on both sides. The impeller 206 adopts an asymmetric blade wrap angle design. The blade angle on the inlet side is slightly larger than that on the outlet side, which can realize the efficient operation of the double suction pump. The asymmetric blade design optimizes the fluid dynamics performance, improves the pump efficiency, and reduces the risk of cavitation.
[0034] The built-in pipe 203 is designed with a Venturi flow channel. The tapered-expanding cross section is machined by a five-axis linkage machining center to achieve optimized control of flow rate and pressure. It can automatically adjust the flow rate and pressure of lubricant by utilizing the Venturi effect, forming a low-pressure zone at the throat to enhance the suction effect of the sealing cavity, and restoring pressure in the diffusion section to ensure sufficient lubrication, thereby improving the reliability of the sealing system.
[0035] The gap between the impeller 206 and the top cover 202 forms a discharge chamber and is connected to the built-in pipe 203 through a guide groove. The pump's own output pressure can be used to provide lubrication power for the sealing system without the need for an additional power source, thus achieving efficient energy utilization and simplified system design.
[0036] The desired effect of this second embodiment is that by optimizing the structure and connection method of each key component, the efficient and stable operation of the dual-suction pump is achieved, while improving the reliability and service life of the sealing system and reducing maintenance costs.
[0037] Working Principle: First, when the pump starts, the impeller 206 rotates under the drive of the main shaft 205. Liquid enters the pump chamber simultaneously from both suction ports, gains energy under the action of the impeller 206, and is discharged from the discharge port. During this process, some high-pressure liquid enters the internal pipe 203 through the discharge chamber between the impeller 206 and the top cover 202. After being regulated by the Venturi flow channel structure, it enters the sealing chamber 204 to lubricate and cool the mechanical seal. The lubricated liquid returns to the pump chamber for recycling, forming a complete self-lubricating system. Throughout the process, the special structure of the Venturi flow channel ensures automatic regulation of the lubricating fluid flow rate and pressure. The asymmetric blade design inside the impeller 206 optimizes the fluid flow state, and the shortened shaft spacing and increased shaft diameter improve the rotor stability, thereby achieving efficient and reliable operation of the double-suction pump.
