Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of submersible sewage pump technology, and in particular to a novel submersible sewage pump mechanical seal flushing device. Background Technology

[0002] Submersible sewage pumps are a type of pump specifically designed for conveying wastewater containing solid particles, fibrous materials, and high viscosity and corrosiveness. They are widely used in municipal engineering, industrial wastewater treatment, building drainage, and mine drainage. The mechanical seal of a submersible sewage pump mainly consists of a rotating ring, a stationary ring, an elastic compensation mechanism (such as a spring), and auxiliary sealing rings. Its working principle is that the elastic component (such as a spring) and the pressure of the medium cause the end faces of the rotating ring and the stationary ring to fit tightly together, forming an extremely thin liquid film, thereby achieving a seal.

[0003] During long-term use, when handling media containing solid particles such as mud, sand, and fibers, the mechanical seal end face is prone to wear and even failure due to particle deposition, resulting in leakage. The medium can then enter the motor and damage the submersible pump. Most submersible pumps do not have a device to treat particles on the mechanical seal end face. Therefore, the risk of leakage and damage is greatly increased during long-term use, leading to a higher frequency of mechanical seal replacement.

[0004] Therefore, a novel submersible sewage pump mechanical seal flushing device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel submersible sewage pump mechanical seal flushing device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel submersible pump mechanical seal flushing device, comprising a pump body and a mechanical seal disposed in the pump body, wherein the pump body is provided with a connecting cavity; the connecting cavity is provided with a circulating flushing assembly for removing impurities on the mechanical seal, the circulating flushing assembly including a sealing cover disposed in the connecting cavity, a spray ring fixedly connected to the periphery of the sealing cover, the pump body is provided with a connecting channel, and a storage tank for storing cleaning fluid is fixedly installed on the pump body.

[0007] Preferably, the sealing cover has an inclined surface, and the mechanical seal is located in the middle of the inner cavity of the sealing cover.

[0008] Preferably, the pump body has a circular groove for discharging cleaning fluid from inside the sealing cover to the outside, and the circular groove is connected to the connecting channel.

[0009] Preferably, a miniature water pump is fixedly installed in the connecting cavity, and the miniature water pump is connected to both the spray ring and the storage tank by pipes. The miniature water pump and the pipes work together to draw up the cleaning fluid in the storage tank and apply pressure to deliver it to the spray ring.

[0010] Preferably, the spray ring has a spray cavity, and the spray cavity has a plurality of spray holes that extend to the inner wall of the sealing cover.

[0011] Preferably, a circular buckle plate is fixedly installed in the storage box, and a circular frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the circular buckle plate. Several filter screens are fixedly installed on the circular frame, and the filter screens are used to filter impurities so that the cleaning liquid can be recycled.

[0012] Preferably, the storage box is provided with a feeding port, and when the circular buckle plate and circular frame are installed in the storage box, the horizontal position of the filter screen is lower than the horizontal position of the connecting channel.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention features a circulating flushing assembly. When the submersible pump is in use, a micro water pump works with the pipeline to draw up the cleaning fluid from the storage tank. The fluid is then sprayed through a spray ring into the inner cavity of the sealing cover, flushing the mechanical seal located in the center of the sealing cover. This removes impurities and particles from the mechanical seal, preventing wear and tear that could damage the pump. As the cleaning fluid enters the storage tank, impurities are filtered, facilitating its recycling. The entire device not only provides real-time circulating flushing of the mechanical seal but is also site-independent, achieving the flushing purpose regardless of the location.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0023] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this utility model should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, a specific embodiment of this utility model provides a novel submersible sewage pump mechanical seal flushing device, including a pump body 1 and a mechanical seal 2 disposed in the pump body 1. The pump body 1 is provided with a connecting cavity 3; the connecting cavity 3 is provided with a circulating flushing component for removing impurities from the mechanical seal 2. By setting the circulating flushing component, the mechanical seal 2 can be flushed, and the impurities and particles present on its surface and end face can be washed away and carried out of the pump body 1, so that the mechanical seal 2 will not be damaged by mechanical wear. At the same time, the cleaning fluid can also cool the mechanical seal 2 while flushing it, so that the mechanical seal 2 is cooled during pump body 1 operation. The heat generated by friction can be carried away to some extent, and the cooling can ensure the stability of the fluid film on the sealing end face. If the end face temperature is too high, the viscosity of the liquid film will decrease, or it may even vaporize or break down, leading to wear of the sealing end face and sealing failure. In addition, the flushing is a circulating flushing, and the cleaning fluid is recycled, so there is no need to add cleaning fluid in real time, thereby avoiding waste. The circulating flushing component includes a sealing cover 4 provided in the connecting cavity 3. A spray ring 401 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the sealing cover 4. A connecting channel 5 is provided in the pump body 1, and a storage tank 6 for storing cleaning fluid is fixedly installed on the pump body 1.

[0025] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, specifically, a miniature water pump 9 is fixedly installed in the connecting cavity 3. Pipes 10 connect the miniature water pump 9 to both the spray ring 401 and the storage tank 6. The miniature water pump 9 and pipes 10 work together to draw up the cleaning fluid from the storage tank 6 and apply pressure to deliver it to the spray ring 401. The spray ring 401 has a spray cavity 11 with several spray holes 12 extending to the inner wall of the sealing cover 4. The mechanical seal 2 is located in the middle of the inner cavity of the sealing cover 4. During rinsing, the micro water pump 9 is started. The micro water pump 9 draws the cleaning fluid stored in the storage tank 6 through the pipe 10 and gradually discharges the cleaning fluid into the spray cavity 11 in the spray ring 401 through the pipe 10. Under the action of the micro water pump 9, the cleaning fluid has a certain pressure. The cleaning fluid that does not accumulate in the spray cavity 11 is gradually sprayed out through the spray hole 12. That is, the cleaning fluid is sprayed in the inner cavity of the sealing cover 4, thereby rinsing the mechanical seal 2 located in the middle.

[0026] like Figures 2 to 5As shown, specifically, the sealing cover 4 has an inclined surface 7, and the pump body 1 has a circular groove 8. The circular groove 8 is used for the internal cleaning fluid of the sealing cover 4 to be discharged outward. The circular groove 8 is connected to the connecting channel 5. In the inner cavity of the sealing cover 4, the cleaning fluid gradually rinses the mechanical seal 2, washing away the small amount of impurities and other particles on its surface. As the cleaning fluid flows downward to the inclined surface 7, it gradually flows towards the bottom center of the sealing cover 4 through the inclined surface 7, and then gradually flows into the circular groove 8. At this time, the mixture of cleaning fluid and impurities gradually enters the connecting channel 5 through the circular groove 8. A circular buckle plate 13 is fixedly installed in the storage box 6, and a circular frame 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the circular buckle plate 13. Several filter screens 15 are fixedly installed on the circular frame 14. The filter screens 15 are used to filter impurities so that the cleaning liquid can be recycled. The mixture of cleaning liquid and impurities flows in the connecting channel 5 and gradually flows outward, that is, it gradually flows to the filter screens 15 on the circular frame 14 for filtration. Through the filtration of the filter screens 15, the impurities remain on the surface of the filter screens 15, while the cleaning liquid flows through the filter screens 15 into the storage box 6 at the bottom for storage.

[0027] The storage tank 6 is equipped with a feeding port 16, which facilitates the addition of cleaning fluid to the storage tank 6. When the circular buckle plate 13 and the circular frame 14 are installed in the storage tank 6, the horizontal position of the filter screen 15 is lower than the horizontal position of the connecting channel 5. This lower position of the filter screen 15 creates a height difference between the two, allowing space for impurities remaining on the surface of the filter screen 15 to accumulate. If the filter screen 15 and the connecting channel 5 are at the same horizontal position, there is no height difference between them, causing the cleaning fluid to be filtered at the port of the connecting channel 5. The accumulated impurities formed by the filtration may clog the port of the connecting channel 5, resulting in slower drainage. The circular buckle plate 13 can be threaded to the storage tank 6, and a sealing gasket is used to enhance the sealing effect. The circular buckle plate 13 is easy to remove from the storage tank 6, facilitating the upward removal of the circular buckle plate 13. Remove the filter screen 15 for easy replacement. The cleaning solution filtered through the filter screen 15 is stored in the storage tank 6. It can then be pumped up again by the cooperation of the micro water pump 9 and the pipeline 10 to rinse the mechanical seal 2 again according to the above process, thus achieving the purpose of rinsing the mechanical seal 2 and preventing particulate matter from causing wear on the mechanical seal 2. At the same time, the cleaning solution can cool the mechanical seal 2, improve its service life, and the circulating flushing component can rinse the mechanical seal 2 in real time. In addition, the entire device is installed on the pump body 1 without the need for additional water pipes, etc., and is not limited by the site. It is also applicable when the submersible sewage pump is used in a different location. Some submersible sewage pumps that can rinse the mechanical seal 2 are limited by the site and require external water pipes and other components. They are more suitable for submersible sewage pumps that are always installed in a specific location. The installation of the circulating flushing component allows the submersible sewage pump to rinse the mechanical seal 2 when it is used in any location.

[0029] This utility model is intended to cover all such substitutions, modifications, and variations that fall within the broad scope of the appended claims. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
