DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0052] The present disclosure will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0053] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the present disclosure is further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the examples described herein are merely used to explain the present application, rather than to limit the present application.

[0054] In Embodiment I, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 and FIG. 8, a self-priming jet pump includes a pump body 3 provided with a water inlet 1 and a water outlet 2. A jet tube 4 and an impeller 5 are arranged in the pump body 3. The jet tube 4 is communicated with the water inlet 1 and an inlet of an impeller 5. A first channel 6 is arranged on the outer periphery of the jet tube 4. The first channel 6 is communicated with the water inlet 1 and the inlet of the impeller 5. The impeller 5 is communicated with the first channel 6 and a pressurizing chamber 12, and is communicated with the jet tube 4 and the pressurizing chamber 12. The fluid passing through the jet tube or the first channel is thrown out by the impeller 5 to enter the pressurizing chamber 12. A cross-section of the first channel 6 is a closed or open annular structure. The first channel 6 is around the outer periphery of the jet tube 4. The first channel 6 is provided with a valve core 7. When the pressure at the water inlet 1 is less than or equal to a predetermined pressure at the inlet of the impeller, the valve core 7 switches off the first channel 6. Or, when the pressure at the water inlet 1 is greater than the predetermined pressure at the inlet of the impeller, the valve core 7 moves to switch on the first channel 6.

[0055] The fluid is introduced into the pump body 3 from the water inlet 1, and the first flow channel is formed by the fluid passing through the jet tube 4, the impeller 5 and the pressurizing chamber 12 in sequence to reach the water outlet 2 of the pump body 3. The second flow channel is formed by the fluid passing through the first channel 6 (in the state that the valve core 7 switches on the first channel 6), the impeller 5 and the pressurizing chamber 12 in sequence to reach the water outlet of the pump body 3.

[0056] The first channel 6 is arranged on the outer periphery of the jet tube 4, and the first channel 6 is communicated with the water inlet 1 and the inlet of the impeller 5. In this way, the water flow from the water outlet 2 to the inlet of the impeller 5 can be increased. Correspondingly, the cavitation problem can be alleviated more excellently. Moreover, the first channel 6 is arranged around the outer periphery of the jet tube 4, such that the overall volume of the entire jet pump does not increase significantly. In addition, in the present disclosure, only the valve core 7 is arranged at the first channel 6, and other structures, such as a partition plate, a guide sleeve, a movable rod, a movable baffle, and a compression spring, are not involved. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has a simple production process and a low production cost.

[0057] In the present disclosure, when the jet pump is at a low lift, that is, when the pressure at the water inlet 1 is greater than the predetermined pressure at the inlet of the impeller 5, the first channel 6 is switched on, which further increases the passing flow and effectively increases the upper limit value of the pump flow. In the case of the low lift, that is, when the pressure at the water inlet 1 is not greater than the predetermined pressure at the inlet of the impeller 5, the first channel 6 is switched off. As a result, the purpose of decreasing the water flow at the inlet of the impeller 5 is realized.

[0058] In Embodiment II, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the cross-section of the first channel 6 is an annular structure. The first channel 6 is sleeved outside the jet tube 4. The valve core is an annular structure.

[0059] A valve port 8 is arranged on a side of the first channel 6 adjacent to the water inlet 1, and the valve port 8 is an annular structure or includes a plurality of regularly arranged rectangular, circular, or arc structures. When the structure of the valve port 8 is arranged, the above structures can all meet the water inlet requirements of the first channel 6. The plurality of regularly arranged rectangular, circular, or arc structures can also realize the force balance of the valve core 7 and realize the stable and reliable operation of the valve core 7.

[0060] Preferably, the valve core 7 is made of an elastic material. The valve core 7 can effectively block the valve port 8 to switch off the first channel 6. In the present embodiment, the structure of the valve core is similar to a sealing ring, which is a component with a simple and developed structure. Therefore, the production cost of the product is relatively low.

[0061] In addition, since the valve core 7 has an annular structure, it is equivalent to that the valve core 7 is sleeved outside the wall surface of the first channel 6. During movement, the valve core 7 is limited by the wall surface of the first channel 6, such that the movement is stable and reliable.

[0062] In the present embodiment, both the first channel 6 and the valve core 7 are highly symmetrical structures, so when the fluid passes through the first channel 6 or the fluid acts on the valve core 7, the forces acting on the valve core 7 are balanced, which also makes the working state of the valve core 7 stable and reliable.

[0063] The other contents of Embodiment II are the same as those of Embodiment I.

[0064] In Embodiment III, as shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 6, a guide piece 9 is arranged on a wall surface of the first channel 6 or the second channel adjacent to the valve port 8, and the valve core 7 located in the first channel 6 or the second channel moves to the valve port 8 through the guide piece 9. In the present disclosure, the guide piece 9 is arranged to ensure that the valve core 7 can move to the position of the valve port 8 stably and reliably to block the valve port 8.

[0065] A limiting piece 10 is arranged in the first channel 6 or the second channel, and the valve core 7 is located between the valve port 8 and the limiting piece 10. The limiting piece 10 limits the movement stroke of the valve core 7 to prevent the movement path of the valve core 7 from exceeding the limit when the force acting on the valve core 7 is large. When the first channel 6 or the second channel should be blocked, it is difficult for the valve core 7 to move to the position of the valve port 8.

[0066] The other contents of Embodiment III are the same as those of any one of the above embodiments.

[0067] In Embodiment IV, as shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 6, a jet device is arranged in the pump body 3. The jet device includes the jet tube 4, a water inlet tube 11, and the pressurizing chamber 12. The impeller 5 is arranged in the pressurizing chamber 12.

[0068] The water inlet tube 11 is connected to the water inlet. The water inlet tube 11 is communicated with the jet tube 4 and the valve port 8 of the first channel 6 or the valve port 8 of the second channel. The jet tube 4 is communicated with the water inlet tube 11 and the water inlet of the impeller 5. The first channel 6 or the second channel is communicated with the water inlet tube 11 and the water inlet of the impeller 5. The water outlet of the pressurizing chamber 12 is communicated with the water outlet 2 of the pump body 3. Thus, in the present disclosure, it is realized that the fluid enters from the water inlet, passes through the water inlet tube 11, the jet tube 4, the impeller 5, and the pressurizing chamber 12 in sequence, and then is discharged from the water outlet 2 of the pump body 3.

[0069] Whether to allow the first channel 6 or the second channel to be switched on depends on the working state of the jet pump. If the first channel 6 or the second channel is switched on, the fluid entering the water inlet tube 11 will reach the pressurizing chamber 12 through the first channel 6 or the second channel and the impeller 5.

[0070] The jet device includes a first casing 13, a second casing 14, a third casing 15, and a fourth casing 16.

[0071] The first casing 13 and the second casing 14 are connected to form the water inlet tube 11. A part of the jet tube 4 and an end of the valve port 8 of the first channel 6 or the second channel are located in the second casing 14.

[0072] A part of the jet tube 4 and a part of the first channel 6 or second channel are located in the third casing 15. The second casing 14 and the third casing 15 form the jet tube 4, and the second casing 14 and the third casing 15 form the first channel 6 or the second channel.

[0073] The third casing 15 and the fourth casing 16 form the pressurizing chamber 12.

[0074] In the present embodiment, the jet tube 4 including the four parts can not only meet the general molding requirements but also facilitate the assembly of structures, such as the valve core 7 and the impeller 5, which is the preferred structural arrangement of the present disclosure.

[0075] Specifically, the third casing 15 is provided with an installation groove 15a. The second casing 14 is correspondingly provided with an installation portion 14a. The installation portion 14a is inserted into the installation groove 15a. A sealing structure is arranged between the second casing 14 and the third casing 15. Specifically, the sealing structure may be a sealing member. The second casing 14 and the third casing 15 can be locked by bolts.

[0076] The other contents of Embodiment IV are the same as those of any one of the above embodiments.

[0077] In Embodiment V, as shown in FIG. 7, a section of the first channel 6 or second channel adjacent to the impeller 5 is denoted as a guide channel 17, and the guide channel 17 is a curved channel. A guide port of the guide channel 17 is formed at a wall surface of the jet tube 4 adjacent to the impeller 5. With the above-mentioned structural arrangement of the guide channel 17, the fluid discharged from the first channel 6 or the second channel has more jet efficiency.

[0078] Specifically, the guide port of the guide channel 17 is located at a diffusion section of the jet tube 4. The fluid passing through the first channel 6 or the second channel will enter the jet tube 4 and is guided to the inlet of the impeller 5 together with the fluid passing through the jet tube 4 to further enter the pressurizing chamber 12. Since the guide port is formed at the diffusion section of the jet tube 4, the fluid discharged from the first channel 6 or the second channel has little influence on the fluid in the jet tube 4. This also avoids the influence of increasing turbulence on the fluid in the first channel 6 or the second channel during the high-speed jet of the jet device.

[0079] Preferably, a longitudinal section of the outer side wall surface of the guide channel 17 is a multi-step stepped surface. The fluid passes through the guide channel 17 to form a certain buffer on the outer wall surface of the guide channel 17. In this way, the influence on the fluid in the jet tube 4 due to the impact of the fluid at the guide port is avoided.

[0080] The other contents of Embodiment V are the same as those of any one of the above embodiments.

[0081] In Embodiment VI, a self-priming jet pump includes a pump body 3 provided with a water inlet 1 and a water outlet 2. A jet tube 4 and an impeller 5 are arranged in the pump body 3. The jet tube 4 is communicated with the water inlet 1 and a water inlet of an impeller 5. At least two second channels are arranged on the outer periphery of the jet tube 4. The second channel is communicated with the water inlet 1 and the water inlet of the impeller 5. The fluid passing through the jet tube 4 or the second channel is thrown out by the impeller 5 to enter a pressurizing chamber 12. The second channel is provided with a valve core 7. The at least two second channels are arranged around the outer periphery of the jet tube 4. When a pressure at the water inlet 1 is greater than a predetermined pressure at the water inlet of the impeller 5, the valve core 7 moves to switch on the second channel.

[0082] The fluid is introduced into the pump body 3 from the water inlet 1, and the first flow channel is formed by the fluid passing through the jet tube 4, the impeller 5 and the pressurizing chamber 12 in sequence to reach the water outlet 2 of the pump body 3. The second flow channel is formed by the fluid passing through the second channel (in the state that the valve core switches on the second channel), the impeller 5 and the pressurizing chamber 12 in sequence to reach the water outlet of the pump body 3.

[0083] The at least two second channels are arranged on the outer periphery of the jet tube 4, and the second channels are all communicated with the water inlet 1 and the water inlet of the impeller 5. In this way, the water flow from the water outlet 2 to the water inlet of the impeller 5 can be increased. Correspondingly, the cavitation problem can be alleviated more excellently. Moreover, the second channels are arranged around the outer periphery of the jet tube 4, such that the overall volume of the entire jet pump does not increase significantly. In addition, in the present disclosure, only the valve core 7 is arranged at the second channel, and other structures, such as a partition plate, a guide sleeve, a movable rod, a movable baffle, and a compression spring, are not involved. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has a simple production process and a low production cost.

[0084] In the present disclosure, when the jet pump is at a low lift, that is, when the pressure at the water inlet 1 is greater than the predetermined pressure at the water inlet of the impeller 5, the second channel is switched on, which further increases the passing flow and effectively increases the upper limit value of the pump flow. In case of the low lift, that is, when the pressure at the water inlet 1 is not greater than the predetermined pressure at the water inlet of the impeller 5, the second channel is in a switching-off state. As a result, the purpose of decreasing the water flow at the water inlet of the impeller 5 is realized, and the upper limit value of the pump lift is effectively increased.

[0085] In Embodiment VII, the cross-section of the second channel is circular or rectangular.

[0086] The cross-section of the second channel is a curved line segment, and the at least two second channels are arranged to form an annular structure.

[0087] A valve port 8 is arranged on a side of the second channel adjacent to the water inlet 1. The valve core 7 arranged in the second channel is adapted to a structure of the valve port 8. When the valve core 7 blocks the valve port 8, the second channel is switched off. Preferably, the valve port 8 is adapted to the cross-section of the second channel, and the valve port 8 is shaped as a circle, a rectangle, or a curved line segment. Correspondingly, the valve core 7 is a block-shaped structural member whose cross-section is shaped as a circle, a rectangle, or a curved line segment. Preferably, the valve core 7 is made of an elastic material. The valve core 7 can effectively block the valve port 8 to switch off the second channel.

[0088] In the above embodiments, the second channel is typically a straight channel. The molding is simple and the production cost is low. Moreover, through the regular arrangement of two or more second channels, the flow change can be increased without substantially increasing the volume of the jet pump 3.

[0089] The other contents of Embodiment VII are the same as those of Embodiment VI.

[0090] The present disclosure is described in detail above. Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation of the present disclosure, and the description of the above embodiments is only intended to help understand the present disclosure and the core idea thereof. It should be noted that several improvements and modifications may also be made by those having ordinary skill in the art without departing from the principles of the present disclosure, which should also fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
