Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of centrifugal pump technology, and in particular to a centrifugal pump with easily maintainable and repairable seals. Background Technology
[0002] Centrifugal pumps are power devices widely used in fluid transport. They generate centrifugal force through the high-speed rotation of an impeller to achieve the intake and discharge of liquid media, playing a crucial role in many scenarios such as industrial production, municipal water supply, and agricultural irrigation. This equipment typically consists of core components such as an impeller, shaft, housing, and seals. The seals, as key components ensuring the equipment's airtightness, are mainly located at the penetration point between the shaft and the housing. They prevent fluid media inside the housing from leaking along the shaft gap and also prevent external impurities from entering the housing and affecting the equipment's operation.
[0003] In existing technologies, the maintenance and repair process of centrifugal pump seals has significant limitations. Because the seals are directly assembled at the penetration point between the shaft and the casing, and form a tight fit with the internal structure of the casing, when the seals are worn, aged, or damaged and require replacement or repair, operators must first disassemble the entire centrifugal pump casing to access the seals and perform subsequent work. This maintenance method not only consumes a significant amount of time and manpower but may also lead to problems such as loss of internal fluid media and secondary damage to components due to casing disassembly, seriously affecting the maintenance efficiency and operational stability of the equipment. Therefore, this utility model proposes a centrifugal pump with easily maintainable and repairable seals to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content
