The spiral tube 21 has a spiral disc structure, with one end connected to the first liquid guiding chamber 37 and the other end connected to the second liquid guiding chamber 32.
[0024] Advantageously, the pump body also includes a pump casing 11, an output port 38 is provided inside the pump casing 11, a pump input port 12 is provided on the other side of the pump casing 11, and an impeller 13 is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 14.

[0025] Advantageously, the pump body also includes a fixing plate 41 that is connected and fixed to the pump casing 11. The fixing plate 41 is connected and fixed to the bearing housing 16. A mechanical seal 15 is provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 14. The mechanical seal 15 is connected and fixed to the fixing plate 41. The above connection and fixing can also be a fastener disassembly type connection.
[0026] Advantageously, the fan structure includes a fan 27, a connecting seat 25 is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 14, the connecting seat 25 is connected and fixed to the fan 27, and the connecting seat 25 and the fan 27 can be connected by fastener disassembly, and a cover assembly for protecting the fan 27 is provided on the bearing housing 16.
[0027] Advantageously, the cover assembly includes two separate housings 31, which are connected and fixed together by fasteners. One of the housings 31 has a sleeve 28 fixedly installed at its end. The sleeve 28 is fitted onto the outer surface of the bearing housing 16 and is fixedly connected and fixed by fasteners. An inner ring 39 is provided on the inner side of the housing 31. Multiple connecting rods 29 are fixedly installed between the inner ring 39 and the housing 31. This structure is used to prevent large debris from entering the fan 27 and getting tangled in the fan 27.
[0028] Advantageously, the circulation pipeline assembly includes a second manual valve 34 connected to the top of the first liquid guiding chamber 37. A three-way pipe 36 is connected to the top of the second manual valve 34.

[0031] When the system is in operation, the first manual valve 35 is opened to allow lubricating oil to flow through it, so that the level of the lubricating oil is higher than that of the three-way pipe 36. This fills the three-way pipe 36, the first liquid guiding chamber 37, the first pipe 18, the spiral pipe 21, the third pipe 23, the second liquid guiding chamber 32, and the fourth pipe 33 with lubricating oil. Then the first manual valve 35 is closed.
[0032] When the pump is working, the rotating shaft 14 is driven to rotate by the motor, which drives the intermediate impeller 24 to rotate. This causes the lubricating oil in the second liquid guiding chamber 32 to be pumped from the third pipe 23 to the fourth pipe 33. After passing through the fourth pipe 33, the second manual valve 34, the first liquid guiding chamber 37, the third manual valve 17, the first pipe 18, the spiral pipe 21, the second pipe 22, and the third pipe 23, the lubricating oil flows back into the second liquid guiding chamber 32, thus realizing the circulation of lubricating oil.
