Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nuclear power plant water pump technology, specifically to an inlet filter screen for a nuclear power plant water pump that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] Nuclear power plant water pumps are hydraulic conveying devices commonly used in nuclear power plants. They are a large system composed of multiple pumps that continuously deliver cooling water to the nuclear reactor core and remove heat to achieve the cooling effect. To ensure a sufficient water supply, nuclear power plants are often built on the banks of rivers or the sea.

[0003] When a water pump draws water from the external environment for cooling, it inevitably carries away impurities. A filter screen needs to be installed at the pump inlet to prevent excessive impurities from entering the pump and damaging the impeller or clogging the pipes. However, if such a filter screen is just a thin plate with metal wires, it is easy to deform under the impact of water flow, and it is inconvenient to clean the mesh, which also greatly reduces the efficiency of liquid delivery.

[0004] Now, a novel, easy-to-clean inlet filter for nuclear power plant water pumps is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a nuclear power plant water pump inlet filter that is easy to clean, so as to solve the problem of filter screens being inconvenient to clean as mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a nuclear power plant water pump inlet filter screen that is easy to clean, comprising a base plate, a pump body mounted on the top of the base plate, and an inlet provided on the right side of the pump body. A retaining frame is fixedly inserted into the inlet, and a filter plate is fixed on the left side of the retaining frame. A ring is fixed on the right side of the outside of the retaining frame, and a sleeve is fixed on the left side of the ring. A pressure block is fixed above and below the outside of the sleeve, and an insert block is fixed on the left side of the pressure block. Slots are provided at the top and bottom of the right side of the pump body, and a silicone sleeve is fixed on the inner wall of the slot. An insert block is fixed on the left side of the pressure block. An outlet is provided on the right side of the top of the pump body.

[0007] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the insert is embedded in the silicone sleeve, and the sleeve frame moves horizontally with the pressure block.

[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a groove is provided on the right side of the sleeve frame, a rubber gasket is fixed around the inner wall of the sleeve frame, an annular groove is formed between the sleeve frame and the interception frame, and the liquid inlet is embedded in the annular groove.

[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, four sets of fan-shaped shells are fixed inside the filter plate, a central block is fixed at the middle position between the four sets of fan-shaped shells, and a rotating block is movably connected inside the central block. A bolt is threadedly connected to the right side of the rotating block, and two sets of screw holes are provided at the top right side of the central block. Filter plates are movably connected in the fan-shaped shells, and a fan-shaped channel is formed between adjacent fan-shaped shells.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the left side of the bolt is embedded in the screw hole, and the outer wall of the rotating block is fixedly connected to four sets of filter sheets.

[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the filter sheet has the same area as the fan-shaped channel, and the filter sheet rotates to fit the outer wall of the right side of the fan-shaped channel.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the easy-to-clean nuclear power water pump inlet filter screen not only makes it easy to clean the filter plate and prevents leakage at the inlet, but also makes it easy to open or close the filter screen.

[0013] (1) By setting slots at the top and bottom of the right side of the pump body, a filter structure is formed after inserting a ring or other object into the liquid inlet from the right side of the pump body. The inserts connected by the pressure blocks at the top and bottom of the ring are embedded in the slots, contact the silicone sleeve and restrict the central ring or other object, preventing the filter structure from detaching from the liquid inlet. The slot on the right side is used to connect the water inlet pipe, making it easy to remove the structure to rinse the mesh without having to insert it into the liquid inlet.

[0014] (2) By fixing a sleeve frame on the left side of the ring, a sleeve frame is set around the outside of the frame, and an annular groove is formed between the sleeve frame and the frame. When this filter structure is installed at the liquid inlet, the annular groove fits perfectly on the outside of the liquid inlet. After squeezing the rubber gasket, a sealed state can be formed, which does not affect the filter plate's filtration of impurities in the liquid, is convenient for people to disassemble and install, and can also prevent liquid from leaking out from the interface.

[0015] (3) By fixing the filter plate on the left side of the interception frame, insert your finger into the interception frame and rotate the rotating block to rotate the filter plate out of the fan-shaped housing and stop it on the right side of the corresponding fan-shaped channel to block it. Then align the screw hole and tighten the bolt to prevent the rotating block from continuing to rotate. The mode of this filter screen structure can be manually switched, either to filter impurities or to directly transport water. While the filter plate enters and exits the fan-shaped housing, it can also rub and clean the mesh holes, achieving two goals at once. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The insert 5 is embedded in the silicone sleeve 4, and the sleeve frame 11 moves horizontally with the pressure block 6;

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, after inserting the ring 10 and other objects into the inlet 12 from the right side of the pump body 2, a filter structure is formed. The inserts 5 connected by the pressure blocks 6 at the top and bottom of the ring 10 are embedded in the slot 3, contacting the silicone sleeve 4 and restricting the central ring 10 and other objects, preventing the filter structure from detaching from the inlet 12. The slot 9 on the right side is used to connect the water inlet pipe, making it convenient to remove the structure and rinse the mesh.

[0026] A slot 9 is provided on the right side of the sleeve frame 11, and a rubber gasket 15 is fixed around the inner wall of the sleeve frame 11. An annular groove 14 is formed between the sleeve frame 11 and the interception frame 7, and the liquid inlet 12 is embedded in the annular groove 14.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a sleeve frame 11 is provided around the outside of the interception frame 7, and an annular groove 14 is formed between the sleeve frame 11 and the filter screen structure. When this filter screen structure is installed at the liquid inlet 12, the annular groove 14 fits perfectly on the outside of the liquid inlet 12. After squeezing the rubber gasket 15, a sealed state can be formed, which does not affect the filtration of impurities in the liquid by the filter plate 8, and is also convenient for people to disassemble and install.

[0028] Four sets of sector-shaped shells 16 are fixed inside the filter plate 8. A central block 19 is fixed at the middle position between the four sets of sector-shaped shells 16. A rotating block 20 is movably connected inside the central block 19. A bolt 22 is threadedly connected to the right side of the rotating block 20.
