Description

  The present invention relates to a water supply pump device for storing water pumped up from water sources such as rivers, ponds, aquariums, pools, and groundwater in a water tank, and more specifically, exhaust technology in a water channel performed before suctioning and loading water About.

  Conventionally, self-priming water pumps used in water trucks, etc. are driven by filling the water pump with water and exhausting the water channel to supply water. Exhaust is possible only by driving the water pump Therefore, the operation is easy and can be performed at low cost.

  However, since the exhaust capability of the water pump is weak, it takes a long time to exhaust. In addition, since a small amount of water is agitated by the impeller at high speed, the water temperature in the water pump is likely to rise, and when the pressure is close to a vacuum, the water in the water pump boils, making it impossible to supply water. Moreover, the head of this self-priming water pump was limited to within 4 to 5 m.

  To solve this problem, Patent Document 1 proposes a water supply pump device in which water is separately stored in an auxiliary tank provided in the water tank and the water is used for exhaust. This technology reverses the water in the auxiliary tank, exhausts the air in the water channel to the water source, and then sucks and loads the water for the next exhaust in the auxiliary tank, and the water overflowing from the auxiliary tank The water is stored in a water tank to supply water, the exhaust can be performed quickly, and the head has a high water supply capacity of 7 to 8 m.

  However, according to the technique described in Patent Document 1, the water and air discharged by the backflow soars the bottom of the bottom of the water and sucks in that state, so the water mixed with the earth and sand is sucked into the water tank. As a result, it was inappropriate for vehicles supplying water to work machines. In particular, a high-pressure washing machine using a plunger pump is particularly inappropriate because water containing earth and sand cannot be used.

  In addition, due to recent improvements in the area around water sources such as rivers and ponds, the number of places suitable for suction loading work has decreased, and the distance from the water supply / sprinkler to the water source has increased. Although the hose is attached, the present condition is that there are many places which require 15-20m. Accordingly, it is necessary to change the capacity and time setting of the auxiliary tank required for exhaust.

  On the other hand, Patent Document 2 has already proposed a technique capable of filling the inside of the suction loading hose with water without backflow and suction loading. In this technique, water from the water source is sucked into the suction loading hose by the negative pressure of the ejector pump, and the air in the suction loading hose is pushed out to the water tank and exhausted from the exhaust hole of the water tank.

  However, since this technology does not include an auxiliary tank unlike the technology of Patent Document 1, it is necessary to leave water for use in the next exhaust after use in the water tank, and always check the remaining amount of water. However, it was necessary to sprinkle water and so on, and the work required skill.
