Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anti-cavitation technology, and in particular to an anti-cavitation rapid start-stop device for a vacuum suction pump. Background Technology

[0002] After starting, the vacuum pump creates negative pressure inside the pump through impeller rotation and vacuum device, causing liquid and gas to be drawn in and discharged simultaneously, completing the three actions of liquid suction, gas discharge and water pumping almost at the same time.

[0003] When a vacuum pump starts, the pressure inside the pump chamber drops rapidly. If the liquid being drawn in is not replenished in time or the pressure drops too quickly, the liquid is very likely to vaporize at the pump inlet, generating bubbles. When the bubbles enter the high-pressure zone inside the pump with the liquid, they quickly collapse, generating violent shock waves and micro-jet streams. This can cause cavitation damage to components such as the pump body and impeller, resulting in noise and vibration, and shortening the pump's service life.

[0004] When a vacuum pump stops, if there is positive pressure or a high liquid column, the liquid may backflow into the pump chamber, which may not only damage the pump, but also increase the risk of cavitation when it is started again. In addition, to prevent cavitation, it is usually necessary to start slowly or use a complex pre-vacuum system, which prolongs the start-up time and cannot meet the requirements of rapid response, resulting in low start-stop control efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, it is essential to provide a rapid start-stop device for preventing cavitation in vacuum pumps to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a rapid start-stop device for a vacuum pump to prevent cavitation. This invention uses a small motor to drive a spherical guide block to rotate, which in turn drives a circular slider to move circumferentially along an annular slide rail. A spring telescopic rod pushes a waterproof vibration motor to perform radial telescopic motion. A bubble-breaking needle punctures air bubbles in the flowing liquid in a three-dimensional composite motion trajectory, thus achieving an anti-cavitation mechanism during the start-up phase. A wave-shaped rotating plate rotates with the spherical guide block, guiding the water flow to form a stable laminar flow. A guide hopper concentrates the laminar liquid and directs it to a circular filter window. The circular filter window intercepts unbroken air bubbles and solid impurities, achieving turbulence suppression and guidance. A waterproof electric push rod pushes a circular blocking plate to move horizontally, tightly sealing the inlet of the connecting pipe to form a mechanical physical isolation barrier. Rapid start-up and shutdown are achieved through the isolation at the inlet of the connecting pipe. After the pipeline is cut off, an anti-backflow mechanism is provided during the shutdown phase.

[0007] The above-mentioned objectives of this utility model are achieved through the following technical means.

[0008] A rapid start-stop device for preventing cavitation in a vacuum pump is provided, comprising a vacuum pump body, a connecting pipe that is inclinedly connected to the suction port of the vacuum pump body, and a rapid start-stop mechanism for preventing cavitation in the connecting pipe is installed inside the connecting pipe.

[0009] Specifically, the anti-cavitation rapid start-stop mechanism includes a circular filter screen, which is installed at one end of the connecting pipe near the suction port of the vacuum pump body. A blocking component is movably installed at the other end of the connecting pipe. Two support rods are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the blocking component, and the outer ends of the two support rods are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the connecting pipe.

[0010] Preferably, a waterproof cover is installed at the bottom of the blocking component, a small motor is installed inside the waterproof cover, a spherical guide block is installed axially below the small motor, an annular slide rail is provided on the outer circumference of the spherical guide block, a circular slider is slidably engaged on the annular slide rail, and a spring telescopic rod is installed on the outer side of the circular slider.

[0011] A waterproof vibration motor is installed at the end of the spring telescopic rod, and a bubble-breaking needle is installed on the waterproof vibration motor. A wave-shaped rotating plate is installed at the bottom of the spherical guide block, and an annular plate is rotatably installed at the end of the wave-shaped rotating plate. The outer side of the annular plate is installed on the inner wall of the connecting tube. A guide hopper is integrally formed below the annular plate and is located above the filter screen.

[0012] The blocking assembly includes a waterproof electric actuator, the fixed end of which is installed between two support rods. A waterproof cover is installed at the bottom of the fixed end of the waterproof electric actuator, and a circular blocking plate is installed at the telescopic end of the waterproof electric actuator. The circular blocking plate movably abuts against the water inlet of the connecting pipe.

[0013] An annular groove is provided on the inner side of the annular plate, and the annular groove is slidably installed with the end of the wave-shaped rotating plate.

[0014] This invention features a bubble-breaking unit and a flow-guiding unit that activate synchronously during startup, eliminating cavitation sources before liquid enters the pump chamber. During shutdown, the cut-off unit prioritizes operation to isolate the pipeline, the flow-guiding unit guides orderly flow, and the full-cycle filter screen continuously provides impurity isolation and protection. The three-dimensional moving bubble-breaking needle actively breaks bubbles, preventing cavitation from the source. The wave-guided structure suppresses turbulence and reduces bubble regeneration. The waterproof electric push rod mechanically cuts off the impurities for rapid pipeline isolation. There is no pre-vacuuming process, startup requires no delay, the spring telescopic rod controls the displacement of the bubble-breaking needle, and the inclined connecting tube utilizes gravity to enhance impurity sedimentation and separation.
