They are widely used in water supply and drainage systems, HVAC circulation, water conservancy projects, and other scenarios, providing power support for the transportation and circulation of liquids.
[0003] Existing vertical water pump oil tank sealing devices have some problems in practical use. When the water pump is running at high speed, the internal lubricating oil will be thrown out due to centrifugal force. Traditional sealing structures are difficult to effectively prevent this oil from being thrown out, causing lubricating oil to leak to the outside of the water pump. This not only wastes lubricating oil and increases operating costs, but may also pollute the surrounding environment. Moreover, the leaked lubricating oil may enter other components of the water pump, affecting their performance and service life.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a sealing device for the oil tank of a vertical water pump to prevent oil spillage and solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] Please see Figures 1-4 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0028] An oil tank sealing device for preventing oil spillage in a vertical water pump, comprising:
[0029] Motor 1, with connector 3 fixedly installed at the bottom of motor 1, housing 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of connector 3, rotating shaft 7 fixedly installed at the drive end of motor 1, oil tank 4 fixedly installed at the top of housing 2, lower sealing cover 5 fixedly installed at the top of oil tank 4, upper sealing cover 6 fixedly installed at the top of lower sealing cover 5 by bolts, and bushing 8 fixedly installed at the top of upper sealing cover 6, and bushing 8 and rotating shaft 7 are fitted together.
[0030] Multiple oil baffle rings 12 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the bushing 8. An oil collection groove 13 is formed between adjacent oil baffle rings 12. A recovery hole 14 is provided between adjacent oil collection grooves 13, and adjacent oil collection grooves 13 are connected through the recovery hole 14. The recovery hole 14 is connected to the inside of the oil tank 4.
[0031] In specific implementation, the following methods can be used to achieve communication between the recovery hole 14 and the interior of the oil tank 4: 1. Drilling / casting channels: Dedicated oil guide channels are machined inside the upper sealing cover 6 and the lower sealing cover 5 along their thickness direction (vertical direction). This is the most core and commonly used method. These channels can be straight drilled holes or more complex cast cavities. 2. End face fit: Grooves, annular grooves, or aligned orifices are designed on the contact surfaces of the bushing 8 and the upper sealing cover 6, and the contact surfaces of the upper sealing cover 6 and the lower sealing cover 5, to ensure that lubricating oil can smoothly flow from the outlet of the previous component to the inlet of the next component. The above examples are only for demonstration purposes; any method that enables communication between the recovery hole 14 and the interior of the oil tank 4 can be used in this utility model.
[0032] In one embodiment, an annular insert 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower sealing cover 5. A sealing lip 11 is provided on the outer surface of the annular insert 10, and the sealing lip 11 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the oil tank 4, which enhances the sealing effect between the lower sealing cover 5 and the oil tank 4, prevents the lubricating oil in the oil tank 4 from leaking from the connection between the lower sealing cover 5 and the oil tank 4, and improves the leakage prevention performance of the entire sealing device.
[0033] In one preferred embodiment, a rubber sealing ring 9 is provided between the lower sealing cover 5 and the upper sealing cover 6, which can fill the tiny gaps at the connection between the two, effectively preventing the lubricating oil in the oil tank 4 from leaking from the connection between the upper and lower sealing covers 5, enhancing the overall sealing performance of the sealing device, and avoiding waste and environmental pollution caused by lubricating oil leakage.
[0034] In one embodiment, the outer side of the bottom of the inner wall of the oil collection tank 13 is chamfered, which allows the lubricating oil collected in the oil collection tank 13 by the oil baffle ring 12 to flow more smoothly to the bottom of the oil collection tank 13 under the action of gravity and its own flow characteristics, so that the lubricating oil can quickly flow back to the oil tank 4 through the recovery hole 14.
[0035] In one preferred embodiment, the inner diameter of the bushing 8 is matched with the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 7, ensuring a tight and precise fit between the bushing 8 and the rotating shaft 7. On the one hand, this fit reduces the gap between them, preventing lubricating oil from leaking out of the gap and enhancing the leak-proof performance of the sealing device. On the other hand, the tight fit ensures that the rotating shaft 7 rotates stably within the bushing 8, avoiding shaking of the rotating shaft 7 due to excessive gap, thereby reducing vibration and noise and improving the stability and reliability of the water pump operation.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: All parts not described herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology. When installing the sealing device, first, the lower sealing cover 5 is precisely placed at the top opening of the oil tank 4, ensuring that the sealing lip 11 is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the oil tank 4, forming a preliminary sealing barrier. Next, the rubber sealing ring 9 is placed flat on top of the lower sealing cover 5, followed by the upper sealing cover 6, and securely fixed with bolts to ensure a stable and well-sealed connection between the upper and lower sealing covers 5. Then, the bushing 8 is reliably fixed to the top of the upper sealing cover 6, allowing the rotating shaft 7 to pass through the bushing 8 and the oil tank 4 in sequence and connect to the outer casing 2, ensuring smooth and stable power transmission. During pump operation, when the lubricating oil is thrown up due to centrifugal force, the multiple oil-blocking rings 12 and oil-collecting grooves 13 evenly distributed on the bushing 8 effectively block and collect the oil, significantly reducing the possibility of lubricating oil leakage to the outside. Meanwhile, the recovery hole 14 allows the lubricating oil splashed onto the bushing 8 to flow back into the oil tank 4, further enhancing the anti-splashing performance. The sealing lip 11 and the rubber sealing ring 9 work together to prevent lubricating oil leakage at all structural joints, thus ensuring a good sealing effect for the oil tank 4. This sealing device has a reasonable structural design, and the sealing components have high reliability and stability, are not easily damaged, effectively reducing the frequency of sealing component replacement, thereby reducing maintenance costs, and also helping to improve the overall performance and service life of the water pump. The above shows and describes 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 preferred examples of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
