Abstract
Description
- The invention concerns a device for mutual locking of concentric cylindrical parts such as parts in a submersible pump unit.
- A machine of this type normally includes an electrically driven motor and a hydraulic unit with a rotating impeller connected to the motor via a rotary driving shaft.
- In order to prevent the medium within the hydraulic unit from penetrating the motor along the driving shaft, one or two seals are normally arranged between the motor and the hydraulic unit. A common type of seal is the so-called mechanical face seal, which includes one seal ring rotating with the shaft and one stationary seal ring attached to the surrounding housing. The two seal rings are pressed against each other by a spring, thus preventing medium from entering between the seal surfaces.
- A pump unit of the above mentioned type will thus include an electric motor, a seal housing and a hydraulic unit with an impeller connected to the motor via a central rotary shaft.
- In order to keep the different parts together into one unit there are several solutions. Big machines are normally kept together by help o flanges provided with a number of bolts along their circumferences. Smaller machines may be connected by help of long bolts around the periphery which bolts press the outer parts towards each other, thus locking the intermediate part therebetween.
- Examples of such solutions are shown in SE-415 696 and DE-1 653 726.
- A disadvantage with these known solutions is that they are relatively expensive because of costly materials and because of the fact that the mounting time could be extensive. The problem to be solved is thus to obtain a slim design without any outer details which add to its diameter.
- A device for obtaining a an axial locking between a, concentric details is disclosed in SE-399 745. An element6 is here arranged within grooves in the concentric details thus establishing an axial mutual locking. A disadvantage however, is that said element 6 is rigid, which means that the concentric details are not allowed to come into contact with each other. The result will be that the mutual location of the details is not defined, but may vary depending on the dimension of the element 6. In addition there is no locking aginst mutual rotation.
- The invention is described more closely below with reference to the enclosed drawings that show a cut through a pump according to the invention, and a locking coil spring.
- In FIG. 1, 1 and2 stand for the rotor and the stator respectively in an electric motor, 3 a driving shaft, 4 and 5 bearings, 6 a bearing housing, 7 a bearing cover, 8 and 9 chamfers on the peripheries of the bearing housing and the bearing cover respectively. 10 a capsule surrounding the stator, 11 an internal groove in said capsule and 12 a locking coil spring.
- FIG. 2 shows the
spring 12, in the straight and united configurations. - The machine thus comprises an electric driving unit consisting of a rotor1 and a stator 2. A driving shaft 3 is supported in an upper bearing 4 and a lower bearing 5 respectively, said lower bearing being mounted in a bearing housing 6 having a cover 7. The machine also comprising a seal housing and a pump housing with an impeller connected to the lower end of the driving shaft 3.
- The driving shaft3 is subject to strong axial forces during operation and it is thus very important that it is correctly locked axially in relation to the stator 2. According to the invention, the lower bearing 5 is supported in a housing 6 which locks the bearing and prevents it from being moved upwardly or to the side. The bearing housing 6 is further provided with a collar, the periphery of which extends out to the
stator capsule 10. The bearing is locked to the housing by acover 8 which is pressed against the underside of the bearing and is fixed to the bearing housing by screws. The periphery of the cover 7 having the same diameter as the collar on the bearing housing. - According to the invention the lower bearing5 is fixed in the bearing housing 6 in the
capsule 10 by help of a special design. According to a preferred embodiment thecapsule 10 is being provided with an internal circumferential groove 11. The peripheries of the collar on the bearing housing as well as the cover 7 are provided withchamfers 8 and 9 respectively. These create together a ring formed channel on the inside of the capsule. This channel is utilized for mutual locking of the details in the following way: - When the details are mounted the bearing housing6 is slid onto the shaft 3 into a position decided by a shoulder on the shaft. The periphery of the collar on the bearing housing will then be positioned opposite the groove 11 in the
capsule 10. In the ring formed channel or channels established between the groove 11 and thechamfer 8 on the periphery of the collar, a lookingcoil spring 12, having an elastically deformable cross section, is mounted. Said spring being preferably designed like a spiral spring with its ends being united thus forming a ring with a diameter mainly the same as that of the inner wall of thecapsule 10. The dimension of thespring 12 being such that it can be accomodated within the channel or channels. - The bearing5 is then slid onto the shaft and mounted in the bearing housing 6 and the cover 7 is pressed into alignment with the underside of the bearing and attached to the bearing housing by help of axial screws. The chamfer 9 on the periphery of the cover 7 the closes the ring formed channel where the
spring 12 has been inserted. Said spring, the dimension of which being such that it fills up the channel, then obtains an effective mutual axial as well as radial locking of the bearing housing and thecapsule 10 and consequently also an axial locking of the bearing and the shaft. Thecapsule 10 in its turn being pressed around the stator 2 which means that a well connected package is obtained. - A condition for obtaining a sufficient strength of the joint, without the demand for extreme manufacturing tolerances, is that the detail used in the channel must be resilient, but at the same time sufficiently rigid. A correctly dimensioned spiral spring is then a perfect solution. By choosing a suitable relationship between compressing strain and the spring constant in the locking spring, a butt contact between the bearing housing6 and the bearing cover 7 is secured over a a certain tolerance range. A rigid ring such as a lock ring, demands very high tolerances and an o-ring is too flexible to obtain a sufficient strength when the joint is subject to high stress. A rigid ring having a coating of resilient material could be used and is within the scope of the invention
- In the description above and in the enclosed drawing the preferred embodiment is described as a mutual locking between a bearing housing and a surrounding stator capsule in a submersible pump. The invention is however not limited to this field, but possible to apply in general for mutual locking of concentric details
- Other embodiments within the scope of the invention can be a division of the groove11 into several parts. Further variants are that only one of the parts bearing housing or bearing cover is provided with a
chamfer 8 or 9, or that the room for accommodation of the coil spring is established by the groove 11 only. According to still another alternative, the groove is eliminated and the room for the coil spring is established by one or two chamfers on the bearing housing and/or the bearing cover.
