Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pump technology, and in particular relates to a pump with an internal circulation filtering module.Background
[0002] In the prior art, for the shielded pump using internal circulation, in order to ensure the cooling of the shielded motor and the lubrication of the bearing and thrust plate, thus to make the shielded motor work normally, the generally employed technical solution is to directly open several through holes on the bearing or bearing housing, with the center axis of the through hole arranged along the axial direction of the central axis. The diameter of the through hole is generally large, that is, the diameter dimension is greater than 2 mm, in order to facilitate the introduction of the medium in the pump cavity into the inner cavity of the shielding sleeve. Afterwards, through the hollow motor shaft, the medium is introduced from the inner cavity of the shielding sleeve back to the inlet of the pump to achieve energy circulation. The provision of the circulation hole has a significant impact on the performance and life of the shielded pump. The circulation hole with a small diameter, that is, the diameter dimension is less than 1 mm, is easily blocked by scale deposition, affecting the circulation volume of water in the pump. However, the circulation hole with a large diameter may also cause particles or large impurities to directly enter the inner cavity of the shielding sleeve, causing wear to the pump's interior and accelerating damage to the motor of the shielded pump.Summary of Invention

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention and cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.
[0025] As shown in FIGs. 1 to 10, the embodiment provides a pump with an internal circulation filtering device comprising a front bearing housing 1and a filtering module 2 disposed on the front bearing housing 1 of the pump, wherein the front bearing housing 1 comprises a first groove part 11 and a second groove part 12, the bottom of the first groove part 11 is provided with a shaft mounting hole, the motor shaft of the pump is inserted through the shaft mounting hole, the front end of the motor shaft is fitted with a front bearing 3, and the first groove part 11 is fitted with the front bearing 3.
[0026] The second groove part 12 is connected to the first groove part 11, wherein the opening directions of the first groove part 11 and the second groove part 12 are opposite. Specifically, the opening of the first groove part 11 faces the rear end of the motor shaft, and the opening of the second groove part 12 faces the front end of the motor shaft. The bottom of the second groove part 12 is provided with a circulation hole 120, and the filtering module 2 is embedded in the second groove part 12. The liquid enters from the inlet of the pump, passes through the filtering module 2, and flows through the circulation hole 120 into the inner cavity 10 of the shielding sleeve. Then, the liquid enters the hollow cavity of the motor shaft through the pump tail, and finally flows back to the outlet of the pump. The direction of water flow is shown in FIG. 1.
[0027] Wherein, the front end of the motor shaft described above does not refer to the front end face of the motor shaft, but rather to the position near the front end face of the motor shaft, as shown in FIG. 1. In addition, the "front end" described above refers to the end of the pump where the inlet and outlet are located, while the other end where the motor is located is the "rear end" of the pump. The terms "front end" and "rear end" are relative terms.
[0028] In this embodiment, a filtering module 2 is embedded in the second groove 12 of the front bearing housing 1. Before the liquid enters the inner cavity 10 of the shielding sleeve, it will flow through the filtering module 2, which can filter the liquid to intercept impurities above a certain particle size, ensuring that the medium can meet the cleanliness requirements for entering the internal circulation. For areas with poor water quality, it can effectively avoid problems such as scraping, getting struck, and abnormal wear between the shielding sleeve and the stator and rotor caused by impurities entering the inner cavity 10 of the shielding sleeve. Adding a filtering module 2 before the circulation hole 120 ensures the safe operation of the shielded pump and extends the service life thereof. At the same time, the filtering module 2 can also be replaced and maintained regularly to achieve the protective effect of the pump.
[0029] Preferably, the front bearing housing 1 and the front bearing 3 are assembled with interference fit.
[0030] Preferably, the bottom of the filtering module 2 is provided with a flow channel 20, and the bottom of the flow channel 20 is spaced a first predetermined distance D from the inner bottom surface of the second groove part 12. This ensures that after the liquid passes through the filtering module 2, there is a certain gap between the filtering module 2 and the inner bottom surface of the second groove part 12, allowing the liquid to pass smoothly and reducing the flow resistance of the liquid.
[0031] Preferably, the flow channel 20 is arranged in a ring-shape along the circumferential direction of the filtering module 2, and a cavity is formed between the ring-shape flow channel 20 and the inner bottom surface of the second groove part 12 to facilitate smooth flow of liquid. At the same time, the liquid is evenly distributed in the flow channel 20, so that the liquid flow rate of each circulation hole 120 can be kept consistent, improving the stability of the pump. In other embodiments, the flow channel 20 can also be a plurality of circular arc channel arranged along a circle, a cavity is formed between each circular arc channel and the inner bottom surface of the second groove part 12. For example, each circular arc channel corresponds to at least one circulation hole 120 to allow liquid flow.
[0032] Preferably, the distance between the bottom of the ring-shape flow channel 20 above and the bottom surface of the inner side of the second groove part 12 ranges from 2 mm to 4 mm, to ensure that the water flow can fully flow here without generating excessive resistance.
[0033] Preferably, the filtering module 2 comprises a rubber elastomer 21 and a filtering element 22, wherein the rubber elastomer 21 is clamped in the second groove part 12, and the filtering element 22 is disposed inside the rubber elastomer 21. The fixed filtering element 22 of the rubber elastomer 21 is provided, while the water pressure at the front end of the rubber elastomer 21 is greater than that at the rear end. The rubber elastomer 21 bears the pressure of water flow, which will cause certain deformation, protecting the internal filtering element 22 from deformation, and thus not affecting the filtering effect. In addition, due to the impact of water flow, a certain pressure is applied to the front end of the rubber elastomer 21. After the rubber elastomer 21 is deformed to a certain extent, the rubber elastomer 21 and the second groove part 12 are more tightly installed, and the rubber elastomer 21 and the filtering element 22 will not fall off during the operation of the pump.
[0034] Preferably, the rubber elastomer 21 is provided with an installation hole 210, and the filtering element 22 is embedded in the installation hole 210. For example, the filtering element 22 is in interference fit with the installation hole 210. The rubber elastomer 21 deforms to a certain extent under the impact of water flow, and the rubber elastomer 21 and the filtering element 22 are assembled more tightly.

Regarding the shape of the installation hole 210, the installation hole 210 can be a square hole, a round hole, or holes of other shapes. For example, the number of filtering elements 22 can be multiple, and the shape of the filtering elements 22 correspond one-to-one to the shape of the installation hole 210. The size of the filtering elements 22 correspond one-to-one to the size of the installation hole 210.
[0036] Preferably, the installation hole 210 comprises a first through hole 2101 and a second through hole 2102 that are in communication with each other, the diameter of the first through hole 2101 is larger than that of the second through hole 2102, the first through hole 2101 is located at the front end of the rubber elastomer 21, and the filtering element 22 is disposed in the first through hole 2101 and the second through hole 2102.

This ensures that the filtering element 22 will not fall out of the rubber elastomer 21. At the same time, there is a good seal between the filtering element 22 and the rubber elastomer 21, and impurities will not pass through the gap between them into the inner cavity 10 of the shielding sleeve.
[0037] Regarding the specific structure of the rubber elastomer 21, the rubber elastomer 21 is an annular member, and the rubber elastomer 21 includes a rubber elastic body 211 and a first protrusion 212. The first protrusion 212 is disposed on the outer wall of the rubber elastic body 211. The first protrusion 212 is provided to closely contact with the second groove part 12, to preventing the rubber elastomer 21 from falling out of the second groove part 12.
[0038] Preferably, the rubber elastomer 21 is an annular member, and a second protrusion 213 is disposed on the inner wall of the rubber elastic body 211. The first protrusion 212 and the second protrusion 213 is provided to closely contact with the side walls of the second groove part 12 to prevent the rubber elastomer 21 from falling out of the second groove part 12.
[0039] Preferably, the first protrusions 212 are arranged around the body of the rubber elastomer 21. There are at least two groups of the first protrusions 212. Specifically, there are two groups of the first protrusions 212, and the two groups of first protrusions 212 are arranged in parallel.

The adjacent two groups of first protrusions 212 are separated by a second predetermined distance. The adjacent two groups of second protrusions 213 are separated by a third predetermined distance, and the second predetermined distance and the third predetermined distance can be selected according to actual needs. At least two groups of first protrusions 212 and at least two groups of second protrusions 213 are provided to ensure that the area of contact with the inner wall of the second groove part 12 is increased through the first protrusions 212 and the second protrusions 213. During operation, the rubber elastomer 21 works stably and is not prone to falling off.
[0042] Preferably, the outer wall of the rubber elastic body 211 matches the shape of the side wall of the second groove part 12. The outer wall of the rubber elastic body 211 is a conical surface.
