The present disclosure relates to a field of design and manufacture of emulsion pumps, and more particularly to an emulsion plunger pump and a pump head assembly thereof.
In recent years, with more and more working faces with large mining height in China, in order to meet the requirements of high support resistance and high working resistance of hydraulic supports with large mining height, as well as rapid support moving and safety support, higher demands in terms of the reliability of emulsion pump stations have been put forward. An emulsion pump provides hydraulic power for the hydraulic support of the working face, and is the heart of the hydraulic system for the whole working face. An emulsion plunger pump is a device that uses emulsion or water as a medium, does work on the emulsion through an internal structure of a crankcase, and then converts it into hydraulic energy of the emulsion.
According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a pump head assembly of an emulsion plunger pump includes: a pump head body having a hollow chamber; a liquid suction valve component; a liquid discharge valve component; a spacer sleeve component; and an end cover detachably connected to an end of the pump head body and configured to close the hollow chamber. The liquid suction valve component, the spacer sleeve component and the liquid discharge valve component are sequentially mounted in the hollow chamber. The liquid suction valve component includes a liquid suction valve seat, a liquid suction valve core and a first reset spring, the liquid suction valve core being slidably connected to the spacer sleeve component, and the first reset spring being between the spacer sleeve component and the liquid suction valve core.
According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, an emulsion plunger pump includes a crankcase assembly connected to a main drive motor; a pump head assembly for pumping emulsion; and a hydraulic conversion assembly having a first end connected to the crankcase assembly and a second end connected to the pump head assembly. The pump head assembly includes: a pump head body having a hollow chamber; a liquid suction valve component; a liquid discharge valve component; a spacer sleeve component; and an end cover detachably connected to an end of the pump head body and configured to close the hollow chamber. The liquid suction valve component, the spacer sleeve component and the liquid discharge valve component are sequentially mounted in the hollow chamber. The liquid suction valve component includes a liquid suction valve seat, a liquid suction valve core and a first reset spring, the liquid suction valve core being slidably connected to the spacer sleeve component, and the first reset spring being between the spacer sleeve component and the liquid suction valve core.
Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will help to understand the objectives and advantages of the present disclosure, wherein:
A pump head assembly of the emulsion pump has a chamber structure, and a liquid suction valve component, a liquid discharge valve component and a spacer sleeve are arranged in the chamber. In an existing plunger pump, a reset spring mounting seat of a liquid suction valve core is designed at a lower part of a liquid discharge valve core. On the one hand, the mass of the liquid discharge valve core is increased, causing large inertia force; on the other hand, a high-pressure liquid flow has impact on the liquid suction valve core and the liquid discharge valve core, resulting in a large force on a single side, and eccentric wear of a guide portion and hence of a sealing ring surface when the valve core rises or falls, which affects the service life. Additionally, in the existing plunger pump, the liquid suction valve component and the liquid discharge valve component in the pump head body are assembled from both sides of a pump head body. Consequently, during replacement of a liquid suction valve seat, the liquid suction valve core, a liquid discharge valve seat and the liquid discharge valve core, it is necessary to remove parts such as a liquid suction pipeline and a water suction box, which causes poor operability, long maintenance time and high maintenance cost.
The first technical problem to be solved by the present disclosure is related to the eccentric wear of the valve core and short service life due to the unreasonable internal structure of the pump head assembly of the existing plunger pump.
The present disclosure provides the following technical solutions directed at the above technical problem.
The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely with respect to the accompany drawings.

The liquid suction valve component 102 includes a liquid suction valve seat 1021, a liquid suction valve core 1022 and a first reset spring 1023. The liquid suction valve core 1022 is slidably connected to the spacer sleeve component 104, and the first reset spring 1023 is between the spacer sleeve component 104 and the liquid suction valve core 1022.
In the above-mentioned pump head assembly 100, the liquid suction valve component 102 and the liquid discharge valve component 103 are separated by the spacer sleeve component 104; the liquid suction valve core 1022 is slidably connected to the spacer sleeve component 104; and the first reset spring 1023 is between the spacer sleeve component 104 and the liquid suction valve core 1022, so that the liquid suction valve core 1022 is not affected by the action of the liquid discharge valve core when being reset, and the liquid suction valve core 1022 is reliably closed. At the same time, since the liquid suction valve core 1022 is arranged on an upper side of the liquid suction valve seat 1021 and is slidably connected to the spacer sleeve component 104, the liquid suction valve core 1022 is less impacted during liquid suction and has a longer service life, compared with the liquid suction valve core 1022 being arranged on a lower side of the liquid suction valve seat 1021.
Specifically, as shown in
Specifically, as shown in
The spacer sleeve body 1041 adopts the structure of inner and outer sleeves, so that the liquid suction valve core 1022 can reliably slide along the inner sleeve 1041b of the spacer sleeve body 1041, and the radial shaking of the liquid suction valve core 1022 relative to the liquid suction valve seat 1021 in the related art can be avoided.
Specifically, the pump head body 101 includes a pump head connection hole for connection with a hydraulic conversion assembly 200; the spacer sleeve body 1041 includes a spacer sleeve connection hole corresponding to the pump head connection hole; and a part of the hydraulic conversion assembly 200 extends into the hollow chamber 101a along the pump head connection hole and the spacer sleeve connection hole. The hydraulic conversion assembly 200 is configured to convert mechanical power of a crankcase into hydraulic changes of the pump head assembly 100.
More specifically, the hydraulic conversion assembly 200 can extend into the hollow chamber 101a only when the spacer sleeve connection hole is opposite to the pump head connection hole. In order to prevent the spacer sleeve body 1041 from rotating along an axial direction of the hollow chamber 101a, an outer wall of the spacer sleeve body 1041 includes an anti-rotation groove 1041d, the pump head body 101 includes a first connection hole extending in a radial direction, and the spacer sleeve body 1041 is positioned by a positioning member 106 inserted into the anti-rotation groove 1041d through the first connection hole.
In an embodiment, the positioning member 106 is a positioning pin, and since the hollow chamber 101a needs to be kept in a sealed state in a working state, a sealing member is arranged between the positioning member 106 and the pump head body 101 to ensure the sealing. In another embodiment, the positioning member 106 is a positioning screw, the first connection hole is a threaded hole, and the positioning screw is threadedly connected to the pump head body 101, with an end inserted into the anti-rotation groove 1041d to realize positioning; in order to achieve sealing, a sealing ring is arranged between a head of the positioning screw and the pump head body 101.
Specifically, as shown in
As shown in
Specifically, the liquid discharge valve component 103 includes a liquid discharge valve seat 1031, a liquid discharge valve core 1032, a liquid discharge valve core check valve 1034 and a second reset spring 1033. As shown in
Since the pressure of emulsion is relatively high when the liquid discharge valve component 103 performs discharge, the liquid discharge valve core 1032 and the liquid discharge valve seat 1031 are subjected to relatively large impact. The sealing performance between the liquid discharge valve core 1032 and the liquid discharge valve seat 1031 is better through the conical surface fit, and at the same time, self-compensation can be realized after wear, thus prolonging the service life. The pressure of emulsion is relatively low when the liquid suction valve component 102 performs suction. Consequently, in the present disclosure, in the liquid suction valve component 102, the liquid suction valve seat 1021 and the liquid suction valve core 1022 adopt a planar fit; in the liquid discharge valve component 103, the liquid discharge valve core 1032 and the liquid discharge valve seat 1031 adopt the conical surface fit, which can make the service life of the liquid discharge valve component 103 equal to the service life of the liquid suction valve component 102, and can maintain and replace the liquid discharge valve component and the liquid suction valve component at the same time, avoiding the waste of components caused by different use conditions of various components when being replaced, due to a large difference in the service life of the components.
In order to further improve the installation and positioning of the liquid discharge valve component 103, a positioning structure is arranged between the spacer sleeve body 1041 and the liquid discharge valve seat 1031. The positioning structure includes a positioning protrusion or a positioning groove arranged on the spacer sleeve body 1041; and a positioning groove or a positioning protrusion correspondingly arranged on the liquid discharge valve seat 1031. More specifically, as shown in
The liquid discharge valve component 103, the spacer sleeve component 104 and the liquid suction valve component 102 are all mounted from a liquid discharge side of the hollow chamber 101a, so that the pump head body 101 can be overhauled without disassembling oil supply pipelines. Consequently, as shown in
More specifically, the first chamber 101a1 may be formed as a chamber with a constant inner diameter from top to bottom, or may be provided with a plurality of stepped mounting surfaces with different inner diameters. In the first chamber 101al, an inner diameter C of a first portion for mounting the liquid suction valve component 102 is smaller than an inner diameter B of a second portion for mounting the spacer sleeve component 104; and the inner diameter B of the second portion for mounting the spacer sleeve component 104 is smaller than an inner diameter A of a third portion for mounting the liquid discharge valve component 103. The liquid suction valve component 102, the spacer sleeve component 104 and the liquid discharge valve component 103 can be assembled and disassembled through an opening at the upper end of the pump head body 101, which is convenient and quick.
The present disclosure also provides a specific embodiment of a plunger pump adopting the above-mentioned pump head assembly 100, and the plunger pump according to this embodiment is a five-plunger emulsion pump. The plunger pump includes three parts. The first part is a crankcase assembly 300 connected to a main drive motor to transmit power. The second part is the pump head assembly 100 for pumping emulsion. The third part is the hydraulic conversion assembly 200 for converting the mechanical power of the crankcase into hydraulic changes of the pump head assembly 100, in which a first end of the hydraulic conversion assembly 200 is connected to the crankcase assembly 300 and a second end thereof is connected to the pump head assembly 100.
There is a gap with a predetermined distance between the crankcase assembly 300 and the pump head assembly 100, and the hydraulic conversion assembly 200 can be disassembled or mounted from the gap between the crankcase assembly 300 and the pump head assembly 100.
During operation of the plunger pump, a rotary motion input by the main drive motor drives an input crankshaft connecting rod to rotate, which is converted into a reciprocating linear motion of a plunger in the hydraulic conversion assembly 200, so that a volume of a cavity in the pump head assembly 100 changes. When the plunger is at a farthest end, the volume of the cavity is increased to form a negative pressure, the liquid suction valve core 1022 is opened, and the liquid discharge valve core 1032 is closed, in which way a liquid suction process is completed. When the plunger moves to a nearest end, the volume of the cavity is reduced, compressing the sucked liquid and forming high-pressure liquid, the liquid suction valve core 1022 is closed, and the liquid discharge valve core 1032 is opened to discharge the high-pressure liquid, in which way a liquid discharge is completed. The conical surface sealing between the liquid discharge valve core 1032 and the liquid discharge valve seat 1031 of the pump head assembly 100 ensures the high volumetric efficiency of the five-plunger pump, thus meeting actual liquid supply requirements of the hydraulic system for the fully mechanized mining face with super high mining height.
Compared with the related art, the technical solutions of the present disclosure has the following technical effects.
In the pump head assembly of the emulsion plunger pump according to the present disclosure, the liquid suction valve component and the liquid discharge valve component are separated by the spacer sleeve component; the liquid suction valve core is slidably connected to the spacer sleeve component; and the first reset spring is between the spacer sleeve component and the liquid suction valve core, so that the liquid suction valve core is not affected by the action of the liquid discharge valve core when being reset, and the liquid suction valve core is reliably closed. At the same time, since the liquid suction valve core is slidably connected to the spacer sleeve component and is arranged on a side of the liquid suction valve seat away from a liquid suction box component, the liquid suction valve core is less impacted during liquid suction and has a longer service life.
Further, in the pump head assembly of the emulsion plunger pump according to the present disclosure, the liquid suction valve seat and the liquid suction valve core of the liquid suction valve component adopts the planar fit, and the liquid discharge valve core and the liquid discharge valve seat of the liquid discharge valve component adopts the conical surface fit, which can make the service life of the liquid discharge valve component equal to the service life of the liquid suction valve component, and can maintain and replace the liquid discharge valve component and the liquid suction valve component at the same time, avoiding the waste of components caused by different use conditions of various components when being replaced, due to a large difference in the service life of the components.

In this way, the liquid discharge valve component, the spacer sleeve component and the liquid suction valve component are all mounted from a liquid discharge side of the hollow chamber. During maintenance, the pump head body can be repaired without removing oil supply pipelines.
