The background in this field
Term " submersible type ", here the meaning of Shi Yonging is that motor can be surrounded by liquid, makes liquid can not enter motor interior by exterior case or motor casing with the motor global design.
The pump that drives with submersible motor is widely used for fluid transfer from storage tank and well.Generally, these pumps comprise motor, prevent the sealed member that the liquid carried immerses along motor reel.The diving electrode is designed to have to be done and wet two kinds of rotors.Wet rotor design comprises the rotor chamber that has been full of the liquid that is fit to that is used for lubricating bearings and removes heat.This liquid must have the good insulation performance performance to guarantee can not have the conduction of electricity between liquid and motor winding.
Yet, use the rotor chamber of full of liquid that a shortcoming is arranged, because because the viscous drag that the characteristic of liquid produces will cause the reduction of motor total output.It is very important that the reduction of power may become, because the size of motor has increased.
Dried rotor design has the motor and the Seal cage of isolation, and motor rotor turns round under the environment of non-humidity thus, does the total output that rotor chamber has reduced viscous drag and therefore increased motor in other words.The typical rotor design of doing comprises two mechanical seals, each end that is positioned at Seal cage.Seal cage has been full of the end face that suitable liquid is used for cooling off and lubricating the inner sealing of separating rotor chamber and Seal cage.Outside seal parting seal chamber and pumping liquid rely on pumping liquid to cool off and lubricate usually.
When submersible motor immersed in the liquid, the suffered pressure of motor outer surface was along with the degree of depth of dive increases pro rata, 2.3 feet of every dives in water greatly, and pressure increases by 1 pound per square inch.Well-known gas and liquid always trend towards from the higher lower zone of field flow orientation pressure of pressure.Though sealing that submersible pump comprises so-called " machinery " is to prevent that liquid is immersed in motor cavity or rotor chamber, these sealings can not be airtight, flows into very little degree and in fact limit liquid.Being flowing in of liquid produces the hydrodynamic film to prevent overheated and too early wearing and tearing on the matched seal face.
Under normal environment submersible motor always have liquid from the zone of higher external pressure by sealing surface to the lower motor interior of pressure.Manufacturer typically relies on the electronics hygrosensor in some motor cavities to give a warning when the liquid of conduction reaches the hurtful degree of motor, perhaps utilizes the immersion of lamination sealing slowing down liquid that the gratifying motor life-span is provided.
But the submersible type design in past has utilized the design flexible of some forms to keep the isolation of internal environment has kept in touch so that keep the pressure balance of mechanical seal with the liquid of outside.These parts are with piston, and the form of bellows and bladder is designated several.These all parts although be suitable for clean environment, are not suitable at grease, mud, or obstruct in the liquid of their locomitivities and operate.
Some design provides the method for non-submersible type by connecting flexible pipe or similar means for the submersible motor of sealing.These storages all typically are designed to a submersible motor and support system separately, and are not whole in electronic device.
No. the 5th, 616,973, the U. S. Patent of announcing on April 1st, 1997 relates to the motor casing that comprises many whole cooling channels, and insulating liquid relies on by coaxial mounted axle rotary driving type impeller and circulates whereby.Insulating liquid absorbs heat and by the isolating part that insulating liquid and pumping liquid have heat is sent to pumping liquid by heat transfer by conduction from motor.Though shift heat from the motor that air, turns round effectively, but the shortcoming of this design is, although what motor can be continuous turns round in air, the critical surfaces of exterior mechanical sealing, the contact-type rotation and the stationary seal face of the accumulation of frictional heat particularly take place easily, all install, seldom have relative movement to occur between insulating liquid and the critical-sealing face here near the circlet shape path that constitutes by pump shaft and sealed member.
The European patent of announcing on September 1st, 1999 939231A1 number utilizes the operation of axial flow type impeller in a similar manner.Though effectively shift heat from the motor that air, turns round, but the shortcoming of this design is, although what motor can be continuous turns round in air, the critical surfaces of exterior mechanical sealing, the contact-type rotation and the stationary seal face of the accumulation of frictional heat particularly take place easily, all install, seldom have relative movement to occur between insulating liquid and the critical-sealing face here near the circlet shape path that constitutes by pump shaft and sealed member.
Insulating liquid does not provide sufficient cooling to the surface of contact of outside mechanical seal at this stagnant zone, therefore must rely on pumping liquid to cool off.Under the situation of do changeing, pump lacks that liquid is carried and motor is remaining in operation, and perhaps surrounds under the situation of exterior edge face of outside seal face at air or steam pocket, and it is overheated and subsequently and the exterior mechanical that comes sealing destruction too early that the matched seal face will take place.Therefore, this submersible motor can not be the long time of running under moistening outside seal face end face becomes dry situation under any normal procedure, and can not occur damaging owing to gathering of heat makes mechanical sealing surface.Under situation about using, just require to increase about load sensor level control and suchlike instrument in pumping; Or the vigilance of enhancing operator aspect is to avoid the generation of these problems.These select all to have unwelcome expenditure and the reliability problems related with them.
The seal arrangement that the submersible motor driven pump of the tape spool that disclosed sealing provides, the gas that the motor rotor chamber can be used come from long-range source is with than higher the sealing of surrounding fluid pressure.Thereby this higher pressure imports Seal cage into along axle prevents that outside liquid from immersing Seal cage outside motor, and prevents that liquid from immersing motor cavity from Seal cage.
Yet, use the remote pressure source to seal and also have shortcoming through motor cavity.Mechanical seal is " sealing " not, flows and be actually " restriction ".A shortcoming is the life-span that this type of device seals partly to rely on the interior a spot of spacer medium of Seal cage.When flowing to external environment condition, Seal cage do not prepare additional fluid partitioning at insulating liquid to Seal cage.
Another shortcoming of this device is that the amount of closed gas has surpassed the available amount of insulating liquid and arrived such degree, in case the fluid partitioning in Seal cage is additional depleted, gas will constantly pass through sealing surface.To help prevent outside liquid to immerse although it is so, but it will be owing to gas does not have enough viscosity to lubricate to be designed to cause too early seal failure with this fact of sealing surface of the mechanical face seal of liquid lubrication by sealing surface.
The common vertical orientation of submersible motor, the axis of motor reel are vertical with earth surface more or less.Gas is owing to than liquid light, trend towards rising to the peak in any seal arrangement.A general problem of submersible type unit is that for the exterior mechanical sealing, mechanical sealing surface is usually located at the place near the peak in the pump chamber; For internal mechanical sealing, equally also be in Seal cage near the place of peak.Any gas that is present in pump chamber or the Seal cage is with the peak that trends towards concentrating in these chambeies.If the liquid around these airbags have limited arrives sealing surface, may cause the overheated and premature failure of sealing surface.
It is in water that submersible type is used the most general form, as being found through the well the inside of being everlasting.Be not very common, but the environment of more general day by day submersible type is the application in industry side, can be immersing medium at this abrasive media and/or chemical product.Under such environment, the portability of submersible motor is gratifying characteristics concerning many users.The use in long-range accumulator or long-range pressurising source has limited this portability.Equally, exist under the environment of solid, on the motor heating surface or solid sediment on every side limited the motor ability of liquid transfer of heat towards periphery.Cause too early electric motor fails like this.
The pump that submersible motor drives is usually located at the puddle, the perhaps low area concentrated of other liquid, and its main purpose is to carry the liquid of all gatherings to another place.Under normal operation, the heat in the motor is owing to power consumption produces.These caloric requirements are taken away from motor, otherwise it will accumulate and cause the motor premature failure.Early stage submersible type device relies on the liquid that has higher heat-transfer character with respect to gas, requires motor to be immersed in the liquid always.Main shortcoming is that the normal running of pump requires and all liquid can not be removed from the position of pump, has run counter to the main purpose of this pump like this.
Many inventions have successfully solved the problem of taking away heat when submersible motor does not have shell from motor; The pumping liquid that allows to pull the plug is low to moderate the level below motor.The most general device is not the doughnut pumping liquid that relies on by around the motor casing, is exactly by the radial impeller circulation insulating liquid in the Seal cage, passes the safety cover in the motor casing, transmits the motor heat through radiating fin and cools off to pumping liquid.
The shortcoming of these devices is that although motor is protected now, restriction relies on pumped medium to cool off from the mechanical sealing surface of Seal cage external environment condition leakage vertically.Therefore submersible motor can not be under the environment of bone dry long period of operation, and unlikely damage.It requires to increase about load sensor under situation about using in pumping, level control and suchlike instrument; Or the vigilance of enhancing operator aspect is to avoid the generation of these problems.These select all to have unwelcome expenditure and the reliability problems related with them.
No matter a Machinery Design how good, the machine of all band motion attachment portions, all easily frayed, and require regular preventive means or repair and safeguard.Under industrial environment, the repairing time of equipment such as pump often influences the integrated production capacity of production process, perhaps relates to the environmental protection of effulent.Submersible motor, as present structure, the bearing that utilizes shaft sealing and install as isolating part.These parts are located and installed to correct installation requirement individually, prolonged the needed time of installation and removal thus.
The description of the preferred embodiment of the invention
The preferred embodiment of submersible motor driven pump has three principle parts or feature.The external pressurized formula oil conservator of integral installation is used in combination with the submersible motor of dried rotor type the pressure in the Seal cage is maintained the level higher than the external environment condition of the pump work degree of depth.Submersible motor comprises lower bearing and the top seal assembly that dismountable axle sleeve or chuck are installed, and by the bearing between the mechanical seal in the inboard and the outside, has simplified both installation and removal.Be installed on this dismountable axle sleeve is the circulation impeller of a uniqueness, except transmission is used for the centrifugal pumping effect of motor cooling purpose, also kinetic energy is converted to flow of fluid and liquid is circulated along motor reel cool off shaft sealing, allow motor doing the period of changeing long thus.
These can be distinguished or in conjunction with the feature of using, be described to: (1) pressurized type oil conservator, and integral installation is also isolated with submersible motor; (2) the centrifugal and Pitot tube impeller of combination is used for the cool cycles of local and motor insulating liquid; And (3) lower bearing and top seal assembly chuck be installed on the motor reel, and lower bearing is installed between the mechanical seal of upper and lower like this, and it also can hold the insulating liquid impeller in the situation of using the insulating liquid impeller.
At first with reference to as shown in Figure 1 structure division.Shell 661, integral body or mechanical connection cooperate with outer cover 662 on motor casing M1.Axle 01 extends through annular channels in the shell 661 and another annular channels in the outer cover 662 from motor casing.Mechanical seal MS1 is coaxial to be installed in the shell 661, is called as inner sealing here, is installed in the outer cover 662 and mechanical seal MS2 is coaxial, is referred to herein as outside seal, and confined liquid leaks along axle 1.Shell 661, outer cover 662, mechanical seal MS1 and MS2, and the combination of axle 1 have constituted alleged Seal cage here.
Have many commercial available mechanical end face seals all to be proved to be used for rotating machinery confined liquid flowing from the zone of elevated pressures to the zone of lower pressure.The present invention does not rely on the particularity of the mechanical end face seal that is utilized, but concentrates the creation mechanical end face seal to operate more advantageous environment.
Seal cage is used for holding mechanical seal and serves as the effect that is used to cool off with the storage of the protection liquid of lubrication and seal face.This liquid is commonly referred to as insulating liquid.Insulating liquid can be the non-corrosive liquid that enough prevents motor winding short circuit and lubrication and seal face with lubricated and the double characteristic that insulate of any cleaning.Various commercial available oil or be suitable for as the liquid insulating liquid with material like the oils is verified.
External pressurized formula oil conservator PA serves as the fuel tank and the pressurising source of Seal cage.Fig. 2 has described the external pressurized formula oil conservator of the typical commercial available air-driven type of former technology, and embodiment is employed as shown in Figure 1.Type device that stores and its functional the same tool harshness of getting along well.At first, it must be from mechanical device such as piston or spring, from gas pressure, or transmits pressure from combined machine/pneumatic operation device.It must transmit the insulating liquid of pressure in the Seal cage.
If the pneumatic operation type, it should provide the isolation of gas and insulating liquid so that superheated steam can not absorbed by insulating liquid and discharge during through seal face at its, and here it may cause too early bad seals.It should have a design pressure grade to be suitable for equaling to the pressure that insulating liquid provides, perhaps greater than, the pressure of the effect end of sealing surface when external pressurized formula oil conservator PA exhausts its normal amount of liquid.Though this is not absolute necessary condition, provide the positive pressure gradient of crossing over the external sealed face will help using external pressurized formula oil conservator to greatest extent as far as possible, and irrelevant with ability.
Return Fig. 1, external pressurized formula oil conservator PA is connected by conduit PA1, and liquid can pass through the PA1 two-way flow, arrives Seal cage.In this special case, fast quick-detach joint C1 is with helping installation and removal.Other Connecting format also can be used and can not influence purpose of the present invention.External pressurized formula oil conservator PA is rigidly attached on the submersible motor M1, and motor M1 is unfettered and be in communication with the outside like this, and whole submersible motor and the combination of external pressurized formula oil conservator can be portable separate units.
Clearly, external pressurized formula oil conservator can be attached in whole electronic devices with other mode integral body, for example vertically be superimposed upon on the motor, or the storage tank of a ring-type is installed on the horizontal plane of Seal cage around the motor, by suitable dividing plate, joint is connected with Seal cage, perhaps even in motor or pump casing inside, as long as its structure can not hinder or impair the minimum cooling capacity of other necessary function and whole device.
Before being installed in the submersible motor combination, external pressurized formula oil conservator PA is pressurizeed with machinery, perhaps like this, by the one-way valve C2 gas of adding a cover, is forced into pressure and is higher than the maximum submergence pressure of expection.In insulating liquid Seal cage and the connecting line external pressurized formula oil conservator PA, so all be filled or loaded insulating liquid from pressurized source, by fast quick-detach joint C1, arrive the maximum normal pressure of Seal cage device, also comprise the consideration of inside and outside shaft sealer.If oil conservator be integral installation on shell or be not dismountable easily, it can close in motor unit and be filled and load.Be appreciated that and think that for some structures, the device of filling can be different with order, but last result is self-contained, pressurising, insulating liquid Seal cage.
The typical safety coefficient that is used to calculate maximum normal pressure may approximately be 2/3rds (2/3) of the design pressure of pressure assembly under maximum operating temp, or under rated temperature, have the minimal design pressure rating the assembly associated components design pressure 2/3rds (2/3), it has minimum design pressure grade at any time.As for formulate suitable safe clearance in third party's design, the claimant does not have claim.
Assembly associated components in this embodiment all is defined as pressured type oil conservator (pressurization accumulator) PA, interior connecting leg road system, parts PA1, PP1, C1, outer cover 662, shell 661, mechanical seal MS1 and MS2 and motor M1.Pressure assembly (pressure assembly) is defined as the combination of assembly associated components (assembly dependent component).Stopple PP2 is removed then, and Seal cage is full of insulating liquid by means of pipe-line system PA1.
Between flush phase, air will be discharged from Seal cage by discharge pipe PA2.When insulating liquid is found from when Seal cage flows out by exhaust port PA2, will stop perfusion, and stopple PP2 will replace.
So the fast quick-detach joint C1 of the connecting leg road PA1 of system was installed in the submersible motor combination in the external pressurized formula oil conservator PA after perfusion and the pressurising comprised by installation, support B1 is installed on the motor M1, and support B1 is connected with external pressurized formula oil conservator PA.
When submersible motor pump assembly operation, flowing of insulating liquid will enter the external process environment from the sealing surface of the higher Seal cage process outside seal MS2 of pressure.Sealing surface through inner sealing MS1 also seepage will occur when entering into motor room.Because the insulation characterisitic of insulating liquid will can not produce harm when it enters motor.When insulating liquid passes through Seal cage, external pressurized formula oil conservator PA will replenish other insulating liquid up to being necessary to refill pressured type oil conservator PA.
When submersible motor pump assembly operation, the temperature in the Seal cage will be tending towards rising.This is because heat that the electricity of motor M1 and mechanical loss produce and because the fricative heat of mechanical seal.The performance of external pressurized formula oil conservator PA two-way flow will be convenient to the expansion of insulating liquid when motor temperature rises and the contraction of insulating liquid when cooling down, and can not damage sealing.
Submersible motor is vertically laid usually, more or less vertical with earth surface of the axis of motor reel.Gas is owing to than liquid light, trend towards rising to the peak in any container.Any gas in pump chamber or Seal cage at that time is with the peak that trends towards accumulating in these chambeies.Shell 661 is designed to, near any gas the matched seal face of inner sealing MS1, and the natural tendency that utilizes gas to rise in liquid will move upward and promptly away from sealing surface, assemble in the place at outlet pipe PA2 place.Because gas is discharged from when initial filling, the inner sealing of Seal cage and outer seal surface will be submerged during operation.Seal cage is filled the pressure with projecting environment, will guarantee that the gas of outside can not enter into Seal cage.
All centrifugal pumps all design and have the gap that rotates and fixed component separates.Such gap exists between the rotation hub of pump impeller 63 and fixed support plate 52 and constitutes an annular channels.Be present in the solid in the pumping thing, mud, or other pollutants, because be present in the pressure reduction on support plate 52 arbitrary limits, will trend towards flowing, constitute an annular channels by pump impeller 63 and fixed support plate 52 by rotation, enter a zone, henceforth be called second pump chamber, by outer cover 662, outside seal MS2, axle 1 and support plate 52 form its border.
Liquid enters second pump chamber and will trend towards tap hole V1 and enter surrounding environment.This process has been soaked the side of outer cover 662 near mechanical sealing assembly MS2, form reverse cup-shaped taper annular channels with one heart with respect to contiguous mechanical sealing assembly MS2, the less diameter of taper approaches sealing surface whereby, and the bigger diameter of taper in second pump chamber away from the end of the axial distance of sealing surface.
Liquid enters annular channels surface of revolution by axle 1 around the axis of axle 1, and the surface friction drag of the rotary component transmission of oil thrower 81 and outside seal MS2 and kinetic energy are accelerated in a kind of mode of rotation.The centrifugal force that acts on the interior rotating liquid of annular channels will cause liquid to move towards the larger-diameter end of conical surface terminal in second pump chamber along the conical surface of outer cover 662.Flowing like this helps to prevent the precipitation of any solid, and may limit moving of exterior mechanical sealing MS2 parts.
As what here pointed out before this, submersible motor is assumed to motor usually and is surrounded by liquid, and this is to be limited by the inside that utilizes motor.Like this, in the former embodiment, in fact the outer surface of motor casing M1 is immersed in the pumped medium and is subjected to the cooling of pumped medium, the embodiment of Fig. 3 refers to the motor that can not be immersed in the pumped medium, also can not benefit from outside liquid duration of operation and accept any cooling liquid.
According to the novel impeller design of Fig. 3, except circulation is used for the insulating liquid of motor cooling purpose, can also direct coolant arrive the critical surfaces of exterior mechanical sealing simultaneously, make it to have the ability to do continuously the commentaries on classics operation thus.This unique impeller unit can be alone or with the use of cooperating as the insulating liquid pressurising sealing system of Fig. 1.
As Fig. 3, motor casing M1 is designed to have and is used for the liquid discharge and returns by shell 661 outer cover 662, motor M1, axle 1, internal mechanical sealing MS1, exterior mechanical sealing MS2, the passage of the Seal cage that axle sleeve 12 and axle sleeve 121 constitute.Axle sleeve 12 and axle sleeve 121 all are arbitrarily, further strengthen the present invention, and this paper discusses with more long width of cloth subsequently, and existing or having lacked it to influence the function and application of these direct characteristics.
Development unanimity before the field therewith, insulating liquid is accelerated by means of many equidistant radial blades of impeller 631 outer rim arranged concentric, impeller 631 rigidity are installed on axle 1 or the axle sleeve 12, part insulating liquid enters the passage that is positioned at baffle plate 161 upper ends, pass through the liquid pores FP1 that fluid passage direct and on the motor casing M1 is connected then, absorb because the heat that frictional force in motor and electrical loss produce, the open area that a part of insulating liquid is discharged to Seal cage circulates.
From the radial inside many stator vanes 632 of the internal surface of shell 661, be used for the trend that the partial destruction insulating liquid rotates with impeller 631, maintain impeller 632 thus and be directly adjacent to relative speed difference between the insulating liquid of collecting pipe 103 of impeller 631, the clearer explanation of legend in Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B.
As Fig. 3, the fluid passage process of insulating liquid in motor M1 is positioned at the fluid passage that is communicated with Seal cage below the baffle plate 161, and fluid passage FP2 is guided through and extends to the interior heat-exchange fin 663 perpendicular to outer cover 662 of Seal cage, returns Seal cage.When insulating liquid was guided through fin 663, unnecessary heat passed on the outer cover 662 by fin, by the absorption of air in the Seal cage in outside liquid or the outer cover 662.Insulating liquid is conducted through the annular channels that is made of the groove on opening on the baffle plate 161 and the impeller 631 then, and it is quickened and repeat cool cycles by impeller 631 once more at this.
As Fig. 4 A and 4B, more clearly shown as the impeller details of the impeller 631 of Fig. 3.Technology before having departed from significantly, impeller 631 has, except many around the central shaft equidistant radial distribution be used to quicken the blade 100 of liquid, at least also have an inner radial path 10 1, from the outer lateral section of impeller 631, inwardly the hub towards impeller extends.Second channel 102, its axis intersects with the central longitudinal axis of impeller 631, away from the some distance to a declared goal of impeller, begins in the point of intersection with first passage 101, and stops on the hub surface of impeller 631.Right angle collecting pipe 103 is connected with radial passage 101, and the edge and its opening end that are installed in impeller 631 are located towards the direction of impeller 631 rotations.
The impeller-type of rotation is described, and distinguished by the rated speed of impeller to a certain extent, this point will be understood by the those of ordinary skill in this field, and rated speed is a dimensionless number that characterizes impeller about its design geometry performance.Geometrical construction and rotating speed all are the performance factors of collecting pipe 103.
During operation, collecting pipe 103 will be collected a part of insulating liquid when impeller 631 rotates in insulating liquid.Collected insulating liquid is the resultant velocity head that is subjected to, and surpassed the pressure that is produced by the impeller centrifugal action, and wheel speed and the speed difference between the rotational speed of the liquid substance of impeller outer edge is square proportional.The kinetic energy of the liquid in collecting pipe is converted into static pressure, greater than the pressure reduction that exists owing to centrifugal action between impeller outer edge and the inlet.
The pressure reduction that exists between impeller outer edge and inlet thus, 101 produce resultant velocity along the radial passage.Those same active forces that the pressure reduction that is produced by the centrifugal force of radial blade 100 is all attempted to return through radial passage 101 are offset.In radial passage 101, produce net flow speed, move to impeller eye, produce by the pressure and the turbulent loss in radial pipe 101 that in collecting pipe 103, produce owing to kinetic energy conversion negative friction from outer rim.
So liquid enters second channel 102, is discharged from then, enter into the annular channels between outside seal MS2 parts and rotating shaft 12 or the axle sleeve 121, as shown in Figure 3.Discharge the liquid of having replaced in the annular channels like this, cause the relative movement between sealing surface parts and the insulating liquid, help to reduce or eliminate focus, extensively the coolant seal face.By this way, even pump stops in dried commentaries on classics and outside liquid circulation, the cooling of sealing surface also can continue.
As Fig. 4 A and 4B, this mode of the present invention can be arranged further enhancing by duplicate the inner passage in the other place of impeller, for example 180 degree depart from initial layout, and ell 113 is provided then, and its opening end is orientated and the relative direction of impeller 631 normal rotation.Lubricating under the situation that the motor rotor counterrotating takes place of sealing surface can be continued.Other benefit is to be strengthened circulation near the lower seal and realized by such being arranged in.Except pumping action relates to pipe 103, relative pipe 113 beyond passage that it is connected, also provides centrifugal outside pumping action during operation, cause liquid to be discharged only from managing 113, increase thus insulating liquid around impeller boss near the circulation in the zone of pump shaft 1 with flow.
In other words, will experience power-converting towards the collecting pipe of sense of rotation produces directly and inwardly flows towards impeller boss from impeller 631 outer rims.The collecting pipe of counterrotating direction will be by centrifugal action, causes from impeller boss outwards towards the flowing of impeller outer edge, thereby produces a circulation loop.This phenomenon is independent of sense of rotation, and can parallel port and the auxiliary device of the collecting pipe alternately faced, and preferred evenly alternate intervals is arranged in around the impeller.
This new impeller enhancement mode circulates and can be applied in any rotation, the impeller of liquid circulation, be used for promoting insulating liquid on any one side of impeller or both sides adjacent impeller hub near the circulation of shaft sealing face.Between the liquid regions of impeller outer edge and hub or axle, finish the passage of in fact same circulation loop and collecting pipe geometrical construction variation all in the present invention in scope.
In another embodiment of the invention, be moved in the Seal cage near the pump motor bearing, shortened the outreach between bearing and the driving load.Well-known in this field, have the effect that sealing surface externally reduces a deviation to the position the inside and outside mechanical seal from top internal mechanical sealing moving load step bearing, since bearing and and sealing between the hron spacing that reduces, improve sealing effect thus and prolong sealing life.Many bearings in dried rotor type motor all are grease lubrications, thereby further advantage realizes by such bearing layout; Environment by grease lubrication from the motor rotor chamber moves the environment of bearing oil lubrication in the Seal cage.For any set load and speed, the bearing of oil lubrication will be easier to cool off and than the bearing of grease lubrication be arranged the bigger theoretical life-span.Arrange to also have further advantage according to such bearing of the present invention, be described as follows.
Be readily understood that and here be mentioned, rotating equipment needs to safeguard often.Though the main purpose of the present embodiment described here is the operating time of prolongation equipment, another purpose is to improve the light degree of safeguarding, and reduces and carry out the repair time of safeguarding.When requiring to safeguard, often comprise from motor unit dismounting sealing and bearing, or replace, or check.Therefore allow the user to dismantle and bearing is installed, the device of sealing and other rotary components on the axle sleeve of prepackage separately may be called as chuck assembly here, will be valuable to the user.
As Fig. 3, the non-rotating part of internal mechanical sealing MS1 is installed on the shell 661, can be used as like this motor M1 integral body or independent parts.Chuck assembly is made up of rotatable member, as the rotating part of internal mechanical sealing MS1, and external bearings 03 and be used for insulating liquid circuit circulation impeller, impeller 631, these elements are individually or combine use.Chuck assembly is designed to a kind of like this form, and it can be pre-assembled, and is installed in predetermined position on the axle sleeve 12 like a dream, and axle sleeve 12 by strictly with axle 1 coaxial installation so that all parts all rotate with the axis.
In Fig. 3, the pre-installation of axle sleeve 12 is to finish by the shaft shoulder connecting bushing 12 against axle 1.There is the machine design method of some standards to be applied to the parts that rotate are installed along axle.This special method is illustrated by example.The actual method of using will never impair scope of the present invention.When axle sleeve 12 suitably is installed on the axle 1, the rotary component of internal mechanical sealing MS1 will engage the fixed component of internal mechanical sealing MS1, be installed in the shell 661 by suitable pressure in other words.
Bearing 3 will engage with the endoporus of an inverted cup-shaped on the shell 661, be known as bearing box at this, be made of and concentric with it shell 661 integral body.Multichannel V2 is formed on the peak of bearing box, and with its longitudinal axis quadrature, insulating liquid will center on bearing 03 freely like this, internal mechanical sealing MS1 and Seal cage rotation.Any air or gas that is trapped in the Seal cage can freely pass through these passages, leave internal mechanical sealing MS1.Other parts, the impeller 631 as rotation can be co-axially mounted on the axle sleeve 12, is installed on the axle 1 and axle sleeve is coaxial successively, and whole like this sub-portfolio can make up M1 from submersible motor and promptly mount and dismount.The sealing of O-type ring OR1 formation prevents the leakage between axle sleeve 12 internal diameters and axle 1 external diameter.
The type of different cards disk component, number and physical dimension can and be used with design and change.The sealing that the present embodiment is utilized, the impeller of bearing and rotation only is as example.The other types of chuck member and combination also can be used and can not deviate from chuck assembly and axle sleeve in the design of submersible motor and the unique application in the maintenance.
Especially, as shown in Figure 5, provide the enlarged view of the part of dot and dash line as shown in Figure 3 of more details.For assembling cartridge unit recited above, fluted, process with one heart on the external diameter of axle sleeve 12, it is with known distance like this, has constituted plane orthogonal with it along the longitudinal axis of axle sleeve 12.Snap ring SR1 is mounted in the groove, and the axial position of chuck parts will be determined to keep in its location.The rotary component of internal mechanical sealing MS1 is assemblied in coaxially makes it and snap ring SR1 adjacency like this on the axle sleeve 12.Bearing 03 is installed in the opposite side that the inner race that makes its rotation on the axle sleeve 12 like this is adjacent to snap ring SR1 by coaxial.Insulating liquid circulation impeller 631 is made it be adjacent to relative one side of inner race of bearing 03 by coaxial being installed on the axle sleeve 12.Axle sleeve and be installed on the axle sleeve parts all when motor rotates by the axle driven rotary.
There are many design examples can be used for locating rotary component along axle sleeve.Axle sleeve groove and snap ring SR1 are only as the example explanation.The practical methods of Shi Yonging does not depart from scope of the present invention by any way.
The present invention allows many embodiments.For example, Seal cage supercharging and external pressurized formula oil conservator strengthen can expand to motor room's pressurization system provides the insulating liquid of self to supply with and external pressurized formula oil conservator, keep than the higher pressure of Seal cage so as the clean leakage of insulating liquid always outwards by sealing surface, from the motor cavity to the Seal cage to pump.As selection; Seal cage supercharging and external pressurized formula oil conservator strengthen the mechanical seal that is used for extra seal protection that can expand to additional provides pressurization system; the external pressurized formula oil conservator that oneself is all arranged separately; keep the pressure higher than external environment condition, the possible inefficacy of any so single sealing can not allow pumping liquid to enter into main seal cavity.
Although prior art shows the preferably motor of Vertical location on pump and vertical shaft, the present invention is fit to and horizontal axis submersible pump easy to use in situation about being fit to.
As another example, within the scope of the invention, submersible motor and pump assembly comprise motor and motor casing, and motor has output shaft and pump and pump casing, and pump casing is connected on the motor casing and pump is output the axle driving.Dismountable axle sleeve is non-rotatable to be installed on the axle.Inner shaft seals motor, and the rotary component that seals by inner shaft is installed on the axle sleeve.External shaft seals pump, and Seal cage is arranged between motor and the pump, and Seal cage comprises, cavity segment, the side of inner shaft sealing and external shaft sealing.
Be full of insulating liquid in the Seal cage, its pressure equals motor and the pump assembly external pressure in the pump work degree of depth at least, and insulating liquid has insulating property.Seal cage pressurization system and at least one external pressurized formula oil conservator integral installation are used to maintain in the Seal cage positive pressure gradient along shaft sealing on motor and the pump assembly.
The insulating liquid circulation impeller has edge and hub, and there is the diameter more much bigger than hub at this edge, and impeller is installed in presses close to the parts that external shaft sealing or some other sealing or adjacent needs are lubricated or cooled off in addition on the interior axle sleeve of Seal cage.Impeller has at least inner passage to connect the outer of impeller or the normal rotation of outer rim towards the collecting pipe of direction of advance with close on exhaust port on the impeller boss of external shaft sealing, and the diameter of hub is littler than the edge.Impeller is arranged in rotation in the Seal cage, can have the stator of radial location to flange in the outside of impeller, consequently there is the arc of rotation of collecting pipe on the closely close impeller in an edge location like this.
Also has the another one example, embodiment of the present invention can comprise that band is externally installed or the whole external pressurized formula oil conservator that is connected with Seal cage so that keep the submersible motor and the pump assembly of positive pressure gradient during pump operated, and the capacity that is used for insulating liquid in this Seal cage pressurization system surpasses during motor and the normal running of pump assembly may be because the leakage by shaft sealing calculate the amount that will lose liquid.
Other embodiments of the present invention can comprise and have the multiple external pressurized formula oil conservator that is connected with the Seal cage pressurization system so that enlarge the submersible motor and the pump assembly of the ability of external pressurized formula oil conservator effectively, bigger insulating liquid supply for example is provided, provide may be longer operation cycle.
Further embodiment has Seal cage, interior surface thereof or top board extend upward away from inner shaft and seal, in Seal cage, provide limited volume to be used for holding to collect or to be accumulated in the gas of the height that is higher than the inner shaft sealing in the Seal cage thus, so that sealing keeps being immersed in the insulating liquid.
Further embodiment has and has the impeller that at least one connects the inner passage of the exhaust port that normally rotate on the edge at rear and the collection of the hub on hub mouth, is provided for the return passage of liquid between impeller boss and fringe region like this.
Some embodiment may comprise complete pressure, and liquid level, or temperature transducer combine with different types of closing control.Some may comprise that the signaling line of linking the surface is used for being operated personnel's control.The scope of these sensors and control system and character with fine understanding, and can be fit to the present invention for the those of ordinary skill in this field easily.For example, pressure transducer is used to measure the pressure differential pressure of Seal cage, is connected to automatic electric office and closes control, when the pressure in the Seal cage drops to the external pressure that is lower than motor and pump assembly working depth, pump is shut down.Guaranteed the positive pressure gradient that at any time seals so especially, suppressed the immersion of any pumped medium or liquid by external shaft.
In the scope of the invention other or different embodiments, based on the description of front, accompanying drawing and following claims, it is obvious to become to the those of ordinary skill in this field.
