Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heater oil pump technology, specifically a heater oil pump with a shock-absorbing structure. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production and daily life, heater oil pumps are widely used in various applications requiring the delivery of heated oil. Their stability and reliability are crucial to the operation of the entire system. The working principle of a heater oil pump is mainly based on the reciprocating motion of a plunger assembly, which drives a check valve assembly to achieve oil intake and discharge. Traditional heater oil pumps typically consist of a pump body, a plunger assembly, and a check valve assembly. The check valve assembly uses a steel ball movable within its cavity to block or move away from the oil passage during plunger assembly operation, controlling the direction of oil flow. However, during the operation of a traditional heater oil pump, the steel ball in the check valve assembly needs to frequently open and close the oil passage. When the steel ball is reset by a reset device to close the oil passage opening, it collides with the inner wall of the opening. Due to the high frequency of the plunger assembly's reciprocating motion, this frequent collision generates significant vibration and noise, which not only damages the pump's structure and affects its service life but also causes noise pollution to the surrounding working environment. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a heater oil pump with a shock-absorbing structure, which solves the problem of excessive vibration and noise caused by frequent collisions between the steel ball and the oil passage in the one-way valve assembly during operation in traditional heater oil pumps.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a heater oil pump with a vibration damping structure, including a pump body, a plunger assembly, and a one-way valve assembly. One end of the pump body is an oil outlet, and the other end is an oil inlet. The pump body is hollow and has a cavity for accommodating the one-way valve assembly. The cavity is connected to the oil outlet. The plunger assembly includes a plunger movably disposed in the pump body. The pump body has oil passage holes along its length for communicating with the cavity and the plunger shaft hole, respectively. The one-way valve assembly includes a steel ball movably disposed in the cavity to block or move away from the oil passage hole when the plunger assembly is running. The cavity is provided with a reset member for driving the steel ball to move and reset so that the steel ball re-closes the opening of the oil passage hole, and a vibration damping structure for working in conjunction with the reset member to reduce the vibration force and noise generated by the collision between the steel ball and the inner peripheral wall of the opening of the oil passage hole when the steel ball resets.
[0005] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: In the above technology, by setting a reset component in the cavity and cooperating with the shock absorption structure, when the steel ball is driven by the reset component to reset and close the oil passage, the shock absorption structure can effectively absorb the impact force generated by the collision between the steel ball and the inner peripheral wall at the opening of the oil passage, reducing vibration force and noise. The coordinated design of the plunger assembly, the one-way valve assembly and the shock absorption structure not only ensures the stability of the one-way flow of oil, but also structurally weakens the vibration problem caused by high-frequency collisions, improves the smoothness of the oil pump operation, extends the service life of the equipment, and reduces noise pollution in the working environment, meeting the low vibration and low noise requirements of industrial equipment.
[0006] The present invention further comprises: the reset component includes a reset spring disposed in the cavity, the reset spring being frustoconical in shape, the reset spring being coaxially disposed with the shaft hole at the oil outlet end, the beginning end of the reset spring being sleeved on the steel ball and the diameter of the beginning end of the reset spring being smaller than the diameter of the steel ball, and the end end of the reset spring being connected to the inner wall of the cavity.
[0007] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the reset component in the above technology adopts a frustoconical reset spring and is coaxially set with the oil outlet shaft hole. Its starting end is sleeved on the steel ball and its diameter is smaller than the steel ball, and its end is connected to the inner wall of the cavity. This structure enables the reset spring to apply stable force along the axial direction during compression and reset, avoids the steel ball from shifting during reset, and ensures that the steel ball and the opening of the oil passage are accurately aligned. The frustoconical design can provide a gradual elastic force. Combined with the spherical structure of the steel ball, it reduces the rigid contact area between the spring and the steel ball, further reduces the impact force during collision, improves reset stability, simplifies the assembly difficulty of the one-way valve assembly, and enhances the reliability of the overall structure.
[0008] The present invention further comprises: the shock-absorbing structure including two oppositely arranged shock-absorbing springs, the two shock-absorbing springs being respectively arranged on both sides of the steel ball, the ends of the two shock-absorbing springs being connected to the inner wall of the cavity and the ends of the shock-absorbing springs being arranged near the oil passage hole, a connecting coil being connected between the beginning ends of the two shock-absorbing springs, the connecting coil being sleeved on the steel ball and the connecting coil being arranged near the beginning end of the return spring, the diameter of the connecting coil being larger than the diameter of the beginning end of the return spring and smaller than the diameter of the steel ball.
[0009] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: In the above technology, two shock-absorbing springs are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the steel ball, with their ends connected to the inner wall of the cavity and close to the oil passage hole, and their beginnings sleeved on the steel ball through a connecting coil. The diameter of the connecting coil is adapted to the steel ball and the return spring. This structure utilizes symmetrically distributed shock-absorbing springs to synchronously buffer when the steel ball returns to its original position, absorbing collision energy from multiple angles. The connecting coil restricts the lateral displacement of the steel ball, forming a two-way elastic constraint with the return spring, so that the steel ball maintains a stable trajectory during the opening and closing process. Compared with a single buffer structure, the double-sided shock-absorbing springs can evenly disperse the impact force, reduce the skewed collision between the steel ball and the oil passage hole, significantly improve the shock absorption and noise reduction effect, and have a compact structure and occupy little space.
[0010] The present invention further includes: a guide shaft is provided on the inner wall of the cavity corresponding to the positions of the two shock-absorbing springs, and the two shock-absorbing springs are sleeved on their respective guide shafts.
[0011] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: In the above technology, a guide shaft is set on the inner wall of the cavity corresponding to the shock-absorbing spring, and the shock-absorbing spring is sleeved on the guide shaft. This design provides precise guidance for the extension and contraction of the shock-absorbing spring, avoids the spring from twisting or deviating when compressed, and ensures that the shock-absorbing force is effectively transmitted along the return direction of the steel ball. The cooperation between the guide shaft and the shock-absorbing spring enhances the stability of the shock-absorbing structure, so that the steel ball is always uniformly buffered in the high-frequency reciprocating motion, reduces the problem of shock absorption failure caused by abnormal spring deformation, improves the reliability and service life of the shock-absorbing structure, and simplifies the positioning difficulty when installing the spring.
[0012] The present invention further comprises: a shock-absorbing pad is attached to the inner peripheral wall of the oil passage opening; a connecting groove is circumferentially opened on the inner wall of the cavity corresponding to the position of the oil passage; the shock-absorbing pad is bent toward the connecting groove to form an attachment pad; the attachment pad is attached to the inner wall of the cavity and bent toward the connecting groove to form a fastening ring; the fastening ring is tightly fitted with the connecting groove; and the shock-absorbing pad, the attachment pad, and the fastening ring are integrally connected and made of rubber.
[0013] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: In the above technology, a rubber shock-absorbing pad is attached to the inner circumferential wall of the oil passage opening. The installation is achieved through the expansion and tightening of the connecting groove, the attached pad and the fastening ring. The elastic properties of the rubber material can directly absorb the collision energy of the steel ball, reducing rigid impact. The integrated bending structure of the attached pad and the fastening ring enhances the connection strength between the shock-absorbing pad and the inner wall of the cavity, preventing the problem of falling off due to long-term vibration. The circumferential shock-absorbing pad forms a flexible sealing boundary, which, in conjunction with the spherical contact of the steel ball, improves the sealing performance when the oil passage is closed while absorbing vibration. Moreover, the rubber material is oil-resistant and corrosion-resistant, suitable for the working environment of the heater oil pump, and takes into account shock absorption, sealing and durability.
[0014] The present invention further comprises: the shock-absorbing pad is arranged in a circumferential direction and its shaft hole is a transition hole for communicating with the oil passage hole; the radial cross section of the transition hole is tapered; the opening of the transition hole near the steel ball is an oil passage port; the diameter of the oil passage port is smaller than the diameter of the steel ball; and the outer peripheral wall of the steel ball and the inner peripheral wall of the oil passage port are abutted and fitted together.
[0015] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the radial cross-section of the transition hole of the shock-absorbing pad is conical, the diameter of the oil passage is smaller than that of the steel ball, and it abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the steel ball. The conical transition hole can guide the steel ball during the repositioning process, guiding the steel ball to accurately fit the oil passage along the axis, reducing eccentric collisions caused by angular deviations; the abutting fit between the oil passage and the steel ball seals the oil while using the conical surface to evenly distribute the impact force to all parts of the shock-absorbing pad, enhancing the buffering effect. This structure achieves efficient vibration reduction and noise reduction while optimizing the oil flow path. The conical transition hole can reduce the resistance when the oil passes through, improve the oil pump's oil delivery efficiency, and the improved sealing performance reduces the risk of oil leakage, thus improving the safety of equipment operation.
