[0002] Sand pumps, also known as suction pumps or dredging pumps, are a type of centrifugal pump industrial equipment. They are mainly used in river dredging, seabed sand dredging, mineral sand extraction, and land reclamation. Their core function is to transport highly abrasive media containing up to 60% solid particles, such as slurry, slag, and fly ash. They generally consist of a pump body, impeller, wear plate, motor frame, and bearing assembly. The pump shaft seal typically uses a rubber-framed oil seal.
[0003] A sand suction pump used for sand extraction generally consists of a pump casing, pump cover, impeller, pump shaft and bushing, oil seal ring, etc. The impeller is mounted on the shaft end through a threaded shaft hole in its center. Sand suction pumps operate for long periods in harsh environments. After use, a significant amount of debris accumulates between the shaft bushing and the pump shaft. During pump operation, components such as the impeller or plunger experience wear and friction. Current practice involves applying yellow grease to the pump shaft during assembly to reduce wear and friction, but this method has poor lubrication and cannot replenish lost grease during use; it can only be replenished during disassembly and repair, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly.

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.
[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 8 This utility model provides a technical solution: a pump lubrication structure, including a drive shaft 2, a connecting flange column 1, a bushing 3, an upper sealing ring 4-2, a lower sealing ring 4-5, a lubricating oil ring 4-3, and an oil seal ring assembly. The connecting flange column 1 is open at both ends, with a flange plate at the lower end. A fixing ring 5 is provided on the end face of the flange plate, and the drive shaft 3 is fitted inside the connecting flange column 1.
[0030] The one-way oil chamber 4 is formed by a bushing 3, an upper sealing ring 4-2, a lower sealing ring 4-5, a lubricating oil ring 4-3, and an oil seal ring assembly. The bushing 3 is mounted on the drive shaft 2 and rotates with the drive shaft 2, forming the rotating part of the one-way oil chamber 4. The upper sealing ring 4-2, the lower sealing ring 4-5, the lubricating oil ring 4-3, and the oil seal ring assembly are installed inside the connecting flange column 1, forming the fixed part of the one-way oil chamber. The fixed part consists of the upper sealing ring 4-2, the lubricating oil ring 4-3, the oil seal ring assembly, the lubricating oil ring 4-3, and the lower sealing ring 4-5 from top to bottom. The lower sealing ring 4-5 is in contact with the fixed ring 5, that is, the lower sealing ring 4-5 is pressed against the upper end face of the fixed ring 5.
[0031] The oil seal ring assembly includes several oil seal rings 4-4, including a body, an annular groove 4-4-4, a small-diameter oil shoulder, and a large-diameter oil shoulder 4-4-3; the annular groove 4-4-4 is located in the body, and the small-diameter oil shoulder and the large-diameter oil shoulder 4-4-3 are both annular and are respectively located on both sides of the annular groove 4-4-4.
[0032] The connecting flange column 1 is provided with an upper oil filling hole 1-1 and an oil drain hole 1-2; the lubricating oil ring 4-3 includes a ring body 4-3-1, an annular oil groove 4-3-2 respectively provided on the inner and outer sides of the ring body 4-3-1, and several through holes 4-3-3 evenly provided at the bottom of the annular oil groove 4-3-2; when the through holes 4-3-3 are installed, they are matched with the positions of the oil filling hole 1-1 and the oil drain hole 1-2 respectively, and the inner diameter of the lubricating oil ring 4-3 is larger than the outer diameter of the bushing 3.
[0033] The top of the small-diameter oil shoulder is an inclined boss 4-4-1, which is inclined outward of the body and is made of wear-resistant rubber. The diameter of the end face of the inclined boss 4-4-1 matches the outer diameter of the bushing 3. The inner wall surface 4-4-1-1 and the outer wall surface 4-4-1-2 of the inclined boss 4-4-1 are both inclined surfaces. A wire groove is provided at the connection position between the annular groove 4-4-4 and the small-diameter oil shoulder, and an elastic metal ring 4-4-2 is provided in the wire groove.
[0034] The upper end face of the upper sealing ring 4-2 is provided with a retaining ring 4-1, which is mounted on the connecting flange column 1. The upper sealing ring 4-2 includes a body, an annular groove 4-2-3, a small-diameter sealing shoulder 4-2-1, and a large-diameter sealing shoulder 4-2-2. The annular groove 4-2-3 is located within the body, and the small-diameter sealing shoulder 4-2-1 and the large-diameter sealing shoulder 4-2-2 are respectively located on both sides of the annular groove 4-2-3. The cross-sections of both the small-diameter sealing shoulder 4-2-1 and the large-diameter sealing shoulder 4-2-2 are rectangular, wherein the diameter of the small-diameter sealing shoulder 4-2-1 matches the outer diameter of the bushing 3, thus providing a sealing function. It should be emphasized that the small-diameter sealing shoulder 4-2-1 is made of wear-resistant rubber material.
[0035] The lower sealing ring includes a body, an annular groove 4-2-3, a small-diameter sealing shoulder 4-2-1, and a large-diameter sealing shoulder 4-2-2. The annular groove 4-2-3 is located within the body, while the small-diameter sealing shoulder 4-2-1 and the large-diameter sealing shoulder 4-2-2 are respectively located on both sides of the annular groove 4-2-3. Both the small-diameter sealing shoulder 4-2-1 and the large-diameter sealing shoulder 4-2-2 have rectangular cross-sections. The diameter of the small-diameter sealing shoulder 4-2-1 matches the outer diameter of the bushing 3, thus providing a sealing function. It is important to note that the small-diameter sealing shoulder 4-2-1 is made of wear-resistant rubber material.
[0036] Both the oil filling hole 1-1 and the oil drain hole 1-2 are internally threaded holes. A grease nipple 6 is installed on the oil filling hole; a grease nipple 6 or a plug is installed on the oil drain hole 1-2.
[0037] The lubricating grease filling process after installation is as follows: The lubricating grease is first pressurized into the lubricating oil ring 4-3 through the grease nipple 6. Due to the presence of the through hole 4-3-3, the lubricating grease fills the two annular oil grooves 4-3-2, and then enters the oil seal ring 4-4. The inclined boss 4-4-1 of the oil seal ring 4-4 deforms outward under pressure, thus forming a channel for the lubricating grease. Specifically, the inner wall surface 4-4-1-1 deforms outward under the pressure of the lubricating grease, and the end face of the inclined boss 4-4-1 separates from the bushing 3 (originally in surface contact). The lubricating grease then smoothly passes through under pressure and enters the next oil seal ring 4-4. The inner diameter of the large-diameter oil shoulder 4-4-3 is much smaller than the outer diameter of the bushing 3.
[0038] As described above, under pressure (including gravity), the lubricating grease will pass through several oil seal rings 4-4 and enter the lower closed ring 4-5. After the lower closed ring 4-5 is filled, the newly entering lubricating grease will rise into the upper closed ring 4-2.
[0039] Once the upper sealing ring 4-2 is also filled with lubricating grease, the lubricating grease will be discharged from the oil drain hole 1-2. At this point, the lubricating grease filling work is completed, and the oil drain hole 1-2 can be sealed.
[0040] Furthermore, the lubricating grease cannot flow in the reverse direction because the oil seal ring 4-4 has a directional blocking function. The outer wall surface 4-4-1-2 of its inclined boss 4-4-1 will undergo reverse deformation under pressure, thereby pressing it against the bushing 3 to achieve effective sealing.
[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described (see the detailed description above), it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
