[0006] The balance ring and balance disc are both located inside the cavity of the discharge section.
[0007] A balance sleeve is axially arranged between the discharge section and the balance disc, and a balance ring is radially arranged between the discharge section and the balance disc. The balance disc is sleeved on the shaft, pushed in axially and pressed against the balance ring. An annular ring is arranged between the discharge section and the balance disc. The balance sleeve is fixed in the annular ring between the balance disc and the discharge section. An annular groove is provided on the surface where the balance disc meets the shaft, and an adjustment ring is provided in the annular groove.
[0008] A positioning ring groove and a threaded section are provided on the shaft surface near the annular groove. Two positioning rings composed of half rings are radially placed in the positioning ring groove.
[0009] The balance disc locking nut is placed on the shaft and pushed to the threaded section. Tighten the balance disc locking nut to place the positioning ring against the end face of the balance disc. The shaft seal is then pushed onto the end face of the balance disc locking nut.
[0010] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, both the balance sleeve and the balance ring are fixed to the ejection section with screws.
[0011] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the shaft seal is a packing shaft seal or a mechanical shaft seal.
[0012] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the balance disc locking nut is fixed to the balance disc by a set screw.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The preferred embodiments of this utility model are given below with reference to the accompanying drawings to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model in detail.
[0019] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2As shown, this utility model proposes a novel stabilizing structure for a balance disc device. This novel stabilizing structure includes: a balance ring 2, a balance disc 4, a balance disc locking nut 8, a positioning ring 7, and a shaft seal 9. Both the balance ring 2 and the balance disc 4 are disposed within the cavity of the discharge section 1. A balance sleeve 3 is axially disposed between the discharge section 1 and the balance disc 4, and a balance ring 2 is radially disposed between the discharge section 1 and the balance disc 4. The balance disc 4 is fitted onto the shaft, pushed axially, and pressed tightly against the balance ring 2. An annular ring 301 is disposed between the discharge section 1 and the balance disc 4. The balance sleeve 3 is fixed within the annular ring between the balance disc 4 and the discharge section 1. An annular groove 501 is provided on the surface of the balance disc 4 that engages with the shaft, and an adjusting ring 5 is disposed within the annular groove 501. A positioning ring groove 701 and a threaded section 801 are provided on the shaft surface near the annular groove 501. Two positioning rings 7, composed of semi-rings, are radially inserted into the positioning ring groove 701.
[0020] The balance disc locking nut 8 is pushed onto the shaft to the threaded section 801. Tightening the balance disc locking nut 8 puts the positioning ring 7 against the end face of the balance disc 4. The shaft seal 9 is pushed onto the end face of the balance disc locking nut on the shaft.
[0021] The shaft seal 9 is pushed onto the shaft to the end face of the balance disc locking nut. After the bearing retainer, bearing body and bearing bushing are installed in sequence, it is finally fastened to the rotor with the shaft end nut, thus completing the overall assembly of the pump.
[0022] In the specific implementation process, both the balance sleeve 3 and the balance ring 2 in this utility model are fixed to the ejection section 1 with screws.
[0023] In specific implementation, the shaft seal 9 in this utility model is either a packing shaft seal 901 or a mechanical seal shaft seal 902.
[0024] In the specific implementation process, the balance disc locking nut 8 in this utility model is fixed to the balance disc 4 by a set screw 6.
[0025] This utility model features an improved balance disc locking structure design. Compared to traditional balance disc locking structures, it retains the advantages of traditional locking structures while offering more comprehensive locking functionality. After the balance disc nut is tightened, it is then secured to the key-driven pump shaft using a set screw, a simple and easy process. The tightening of the shaft sleeve nut at the shaft end further secures the balance disc nut, making the rotor components more reliably locked on the shaft. This structural design on the rotor components prevents the balance disc nut and shaft sleeve nut from loosening due to frequent start-stop, reverse rotation, or vibration, thereby increasing the pump's operational safety and reliability.
[0026] In actual operation at user sites, water pumps may frequently start and stop, or even reverse, which can easily cause the shaft sleeve nut to loosen. This new multi-stage pump balance disc locking structure improvement design, while inheriting the advantages of the traditional balance disc locking structure, locks the balance disc nut onto the balance disc with a set screw, thereby avoiding the safety hazards caused by the loosening of the shaft sleeve nut and greatly enhancing the pump's operational safety and reliability.
[0027] This invention prevents the shaft end bushing nut from loosening or even failing due to frequent start-stop, reverse rotation, or vibration of the water pump, and effectively protects the safe and stable operation of the equipment by avoiding frequent changes in the axial force of the pump.
[0028] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
