Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of pump maintenance tooling, specifically relating to a horizontally split multistage centrifugal pump cover flipping tooling. Background Technology

[0002] As core equipment in offshore platform production operations, the stability and ease of maintenance of water injection pumps and external pumps are crucial. Multistage centrifugal pumps with a horizontally split structure are widely used due to their ease of maintenance and operational reliability. However, in the current offshore platform operating environment, there are some problems with the opening and maintenance of multistage centrifugal pumps, especially after the pump cover fasteners are removed. Due to the uneven distribution of the pump cover structure and limited maintenance space, the pump cover needs to be moved to a more spacious area for maintenance. This not only increases the difficulty of the operation but also requires the use of various slings, crowbars, and manual assistance due to the significant weight of the pump cover, resulting in time-consuming and labor-intensive work. Furthermore, during conventional hoisting operations, the horizontal weightlessness leads to insufficient stability, frequently causing collisions with the pump casing and flange tilting during hoisting, posing certain safety hazards for equipment maintenance. Therefore, this utility model aims to develop a convenient pump cover flipping fixture to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0026] Implementation Method 1

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-4This application provides a horizontally split multistage centrifugal pump cover flipping fixture, including a support system 1, a transmission system 2, and a fixing system 3. The support system 1 includes a horizontal brace 11, two vertical braces 12, and a first connecting bolt 13. The horizontal brace 11 serves as a beam, vertically and detachably connecting the two vertical braces 12. The horizontal brace 11 has first connecting holes 111 at both ends, and one end of each vertical brace 12 has a second connecting hole 121. The other end of each vertical brace 12 is fixedly connected to the transmission system 2 via the first connecting bolt 13, forming a portal frame. The transmission system 2 includes a transmission mechanism 21, bearings 22, bearing housings 23, and a transmission shaft 24. The transmission shaft 24, bearings 22, bearing housings 23, and transmission mechanism 21 are assembled sequentially. Preferably, each transmission system 2 includes two bearing housings 23 and two bearings 22. The bearings 22 are respectively connected to both sides of the transmission shaft 22 and installed inside the bearing housings 23. The transmission mechanism 21 in this application uses a hand-operated ratchet and pawl mechanism. When the operating wrench 211 is pushed, the pawl presses against the working surface of the ratchet teeth. The force is transmitted to the ratchet through the operating wrench 211 and the pawl. The ratchet advances one or more teeth according to the tooth pitch angle. After the hand is released, the pawl is still engaged with the previous tooth to lock the ratchet and prevent it from rotating. The fixing system 3 includes a connecting plate 31 and a second connecting bolt 32. The connecting plate 31 is provided with a third connecting hole 311 for connecting the second connecting bolt 32. The third connecting holes 311 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the connecting plate 31. A circular hole 312 is provided in the middle of the connecting plate 31. A rolling bearing 3121 is fitted in the circular hole 312. The inner ring of the rolling bearing 3121 is fixed to the transmission shaft 24. The connecting plate 31 is detachably fixed to both ends of the pump housing by the second connecting bolt 32. The two ends of the pump cover are attached to the two connecting plates 31, and the second connecting bolt 32 is passed through the third connecting hole 311 and fastened to the hole at the end of the pump cover. Preferably, the third connecting hole 311 can also be made into a round hole to absorb hole spacing errors and facilitate alignment. The assembly is carried out through the following steps:

[0028] 1. Secure the pump cover to the connecting plate 31 at the third connecting hole 311 using the second connecting bolt 32. 2. Insert the drive shaft 24 into the rolling bearing 3121 of the connecting plate 31, using a flat key or expansion coupling sleeve as designed to achieve rigid torque transmission. 3. Fix the bearing housing 23 to the end of the vertical support 12, then install both ends of the bearing 22 into the bearing housing 23 and connect it to the flange of the vertical support 12. 4. Adjust the vertical support 12 so that the center line connecting the two drive shafts 24 is aligned with the pump cover flipping reference; affix a zero-angle mark to the side of the pump cover. 5. Simultaneously rotate the operating wrenches 211 on both sides at the same speed and amplitude. The pawl pushes the ratchet to "advance" in only one direction, transmitting torque to the connecting plate 31 through the drive shaft 24, which in turn drives the pump cover to flip. The operating wrench 211 and the ratchet input end are generally pluggable and can be removed when not in use. Furthermore, bearing 22 is mounted on drive shaft 24, with its outer ring housed in bearing housing 23, supporting drive shaft 24 as a rotatable component, ensuring coaxiality between the shaft and connecting plate 31 and easy rotation. The weight of the pump cover and the reaction force during tilting are transmitted to the lifting device via drive shaft 24, bearing 22, bearing housing 23, vertical support 12, and horizontal support 11, avoiding action on the pump cover bolts and ensuring rotational accuracy and lifespan. Furthermore, transmission mechanism 21 is connected to the lower end of vertical support 12 via a flange and is located outside vertical support 12; operating wrench 211 is located at the outermost end of vertical support 12 to avoid interference. Furthermore, the upper part of horizontal support 11 is equipped with a lifting device 112 for connection to lifting equipment. The lifting point is located at the center of horizontal support 11 or offset according to design; lifting force is transmitted through horizontal support 11, vertical support 12, and drive shaft 24, avoiding additional load on the pump cover sealing surface. Furthermore, a combination of a vertical plate and a triangular stiffening plate is provided above the connecting plate 31, which is fixedly connected to the center of the connecting plate 31 and the outer ring of the rolling bearing 3121. The others serve as secondary mechanical limit points, which can use pins at a specified angle to form geometric interference with the rotation of the connecting plate 31 and the pump cover, preventing swinging or accidental movement.

[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
