Abstract

A cutting system for a grinding pump, including a cutting disc attached to the pump near an inlet and having a cutting surface with multiple cutting orifices, and a rotating cutter attached to the rotating shaft of the pump and having two cutting blades, each blade having a cutting edge on a forward-facing side of the rotating cutter. The rotating cutter is located on the upstream side of the cutting disc, and cooperates with the cutting orifices of the cutting disc to perform cutting actions. Each cutting orifice has a hole extending from the cutting surface through the cutting disc to form a feeding orifice, and a cutting protrusion protruding from the cutting surface and surrounding the hole region. The multiple cutting orifices define recessed areas of the cutting surface between the cutting orifices. The cutting system can prevent uncut floating matters from being trapped, and is effective and safe.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cutting system for a grinding pump, the cutting system comprising:
a cutting disc configured to be attached to the grinding pump near an inlet of the grinding pump, wherein the cutting disc includes a cutting surface, and the cutting surface has a plurality of cutting orifices; and
a rotating cutter configured to be attached to the grinding pump via a rotating shaft of the grinding pump, wherein the rotating cutter includes at least two cutting blades, each cutting blade having a cutting edge on a forward-facing side in a direction of rotation of the rotating cutter, the rotating cutter being located on an upstream side of the cutting disc, wherein each cutting edge is configured to cooperate with the plurality of cutting orifices to perform a cutting action when the rotating cutter rotates;
wherein each cutting orifice has a hole region extending from the cutting surface through the cutting disc to form a feeding orifice, and has a cutting protrusion that protrudes from the cutting surface, the cutting protrusion surrounding the hole region, wherein the plurality of cutting orifices define at least one recessed area of the cutting surface between at least two of the cutting orifices, and wherein the cutting protrusion of each cutting orifice is a ring-shaped structure that includes an inner cutting edge on an inner side of the ring-shaped structure and an outer cutting edge on an outer side of the ring-shaped structure.

2. The cutting system of claim 1 , wherein the cutting orifices are arranged on the cutting disc in a radial direction and distributed in a circumferential direction with respect to a rotation axis of the rotating shaft.

3. The cutting system of claim 1 , wherein the ring-shaped structure of the cutting protrusion of each cutting orifice either has at least one gap, or is a closed ring without any gaps.

4. The cutting system of claim 1 , wherein the cutting disc includes a plurality of cutting groups, each cutting group including at least two of the plurality of cutting orifices, and wherein the plurality of cutting groups are arranged on the cutting disc in a radial direction and distributed in a circumferential direction with respect to a rotation axis of the rotating shaft.

5. The cutting system of claim 4 , wherein at least one cutting group of the plurality of cutting groups further includes at least one cutting tip configured to connect the at least two cutting orifices of the cutting group, the cutting tip having a cutting tip edge connected to cutting edges of the cutting orifices.

6. The cutting system of claim 5 , wherein the cutting tip edge faces against the direction of rotation of the rotating cutter.

7. The cutting system of claim 1 , wherein the cutting disc further includes a plurality of cutting blocks distributed between the cutting orifices, wherein each cutting block has a cutting edge facing against the direction of rotation of the rotating cutter.

8. The cutting system of claim 1 , wherein the cutting surface further includes a plurality of diversion ribs which are either connected to or separated from the cutting orifices, wherein the diversion ribs are distributed in a circumferential direction around a rotation axis of the rotating shaft.

9. The cutting system of claim 8 , wherein each diversion rib has a linear shape and extends in a radial direction of the cutting disc.

10. The cutting system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one recessed area is located on at least one plane.

11. A grinding pump comprising the cutting system of claim 1 ,
the grinding pump further comprising a pump body having the inlet and an outlet, wherein the rotating shaft is disposed within the pump body,
wherein the cutting disc is fixedly connected to the pump body and covers the inlet,
wherein the rotating cutter is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and is driven by the rotating shaft, whereby the cutting edges of the rotating cutter cooperate with the plurality of cutting orifices to perform cutting actions when the rotating cutter rotates.

12. The cutting system of claim 8 , wherein each diversion rib has a curved shape, and a tangential direction of the curved shape is parallel to the direction of rotation of the rotating cutter.
