Abstract

This utility model discloses a high-efficiency impeller sealing structure for a mining drainage pump, relating to the field of mechanization technology. The high-efficiency impeller sealing structure includes a water storage tank. A pressure-reducing mechanism is installed at the top of the water storage tank, and a base for fixing the sealing structure is installed at the bottom. An inlet pipe is located on the left side of the water storage tank, and an outlet pipe is located on the right side. The portions of the inlet and outlet pipes connected to the water storage tank are respectively fitted with sealing rings. When the inlet water velocity is greater than the outlet water velocity, the water storage tank fills with water, and the internal water pressure continuously increases, pushing a pressure piston upwards. When the pressure reaches a certain level, the pressure piston moves above the pressure-reducing hole. At this time, the pressure-reducing hole communicates with the water storage tank, discharging liquid to reduce pressure and control the water pressure in the water storage tank within a reasonable range. When operation stops, the water pressure in the water storage tank is released, and the pressure piston returns to its original position under the action of a compression spring.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanization technology, specifically to a high-efficiency impeller sealing structure for a mining drainage pump. Background Technology

[0002] Mine drainage pumps are crucial equipment for removing groundwater in mining operations, and their design and performance directly impact mine safety. A utility model patent published in 2020 reveals a lightweight, submersible mine drainage pump that, through a special guide vane structure design, creates bidirectional clockwise and counterclockwise water flow channels within the pump body, significantly improving emergency rescue efficiency. This equipment, composed of core components such as an impeller, pump shaft, and guide vanes, is of great importance in ensuring safe production and reducing property damage in unexpected situations.

[0003] In existing technologies, the high-efficiency impeller sealing structure for mine drainage has the problem that when the inner cavity is full of liquid and the inflow velocity is greater than the outflow velocity, the pressure in the water storage tank will increase, causing the liquid to leak out from the sealing connection. This wastes water resources and increases costs, making it unsuitable for large-scale production. Long-term impact on components will also lead to a shortened service life of the components and increase the frequency of maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a high-efficiency impeller sealing structure for a mining drainage pump. The high-efficiency impeller sealing structure for a mining drainage pump includes a water storage tank 2. A pressure-reducing mechanism 3 is provided at the top of the water storage tank 2, and a base 5 for fixing the sealing structure is provided at the bottom of the water storage tank 2. An inlet pipe 4 is provided on the left side of the water storage tank 2, and an outlet pipe 6 is provided on the right side of the water storage tank 2. The portions of the inlet pipe 4 and the outlet pipe 6 that connect to the water storage tank 2 are respectively encased in sealing rings 1.

[0023] The pressure-reducing mechanism 3 is fixed above the water storage tank 2 with screws. A through hole 7 is provided between the pressure-reducing mechanism 3 and the water storage tank 2, and the inner cavity of the pressure-reducing mechanism 3 is connected to the inner cavity of the water storage tank 2 through the through hole 7. The through hole 7 is matched with the circular boss below the pressure-reducing mechanism 3.

[0024] The outer shell of the pressure-reducing mechanism 3 is composed of a cover plate 31 and a base plate 32 connected by four bolts. The bottom surface of the base plate 32 has four threaded holes and one water inlet hole. Each of the four threaded holes is connected to a guide post 34. The four holes on the pressure piston 33 mate with the four guide posts 34 installed inside the base plate 32. This connection is movable, allowing the pressure piston 33 to move up and down via the guide posts 34. The pressure piston 33 is radially fitted with a pressure sealing ring 36. The four guide posts 34 have four primary compression springs 35 installed in the lower part and secondary compression springs 38 with a larger elastic coefficient installed in the upper part, separated by a pressure plate 39. Pressure-reducing holes 37 are provided on both sides of the base plate 32.

[0025] During operation, when the inlet water rate exceeds the outlet water rate, the water storage tank 2 fills with water, and the internal water pressure continuously increases. This pushes the pressure piston 33 upward. When the pressure reaches a certain level, the pressure piston 33 moves above the pressure relief hole 37. At this point, the pressure relief hole 37 communicates with the water storage tank 2, discharging liquid to reduce pressure and maintain the water pressure in the water storage tank 2 within a reasonable range. When operation stops, the water pressure in the water storage tank 2 is released, and the pressure piston 33 returns to its original position under the action of the primary compression spring 35 and the secondary compression spring 38.

[0026] In summary, the high-efficiency impeller sealing structure of this mine drainage pump reduces pressure through the cooperation of the primary compression spring 35, the secondary compression spring 38, the pressure piston 33, and the pressure reducing hole 37 inside the pressure reducing mechanism 3. The improvement of this device is based on existing equipment, and its structure is a conventional structure. Therefore, the improvement cost is relatively small, and it provides the possibility of disassembly and replacement of vulnerable parts, which further saves costs.
