A device for supporting a rotor with a liquid-assisted sealed air cushion

The present invention discloses a device for a liquid-assisted sealed air cushion to support a rotor. The present invention utilizes the centrifugal force acting on the lift disc during rotation, and the liquid assists in sealing the air cushion, reducing the gas leakage amount. Compared with sealing forms such as carbon rings, the sealing effect is better and the cost is lower. Specifically, after the lift disc rotates, the liquid enters the liquid sealing cavity. Under the action of the centrifugal force of the liquid and the hindering effect of the liquid and the gas-blocking packing, the liquid assists in sealing the air cushion, which can reduce the gas leakage amount in the air cushion chamber. The present invention realizes the function of sealing the air cushion well at low cost.
