The invention discloses a mechanical seal cooling structure, and relates to the technical field of mechanical cooling. The structure comprises a shaft sleeve, a connecting seat and a throttling ring. The throttling ring is arranged in a hot water cavity between the shaft sleeve and the connecting seat, so that an overflowing gap is formed in the hot water cavity, the flowing space of the hot water cavity is reduced, firstly, the flowing volume of hot water is limited to achieve heat exchange and cooling of the hot water, and buffering cooling grooves distributed on the side of the throttling ring act; secondly, the hot water in the flowing gap can be buffered, the cooling time is prolonged, and the cooling effect is enhanced; and thirdly, when the throttling ring rotates, the buffering cooling grooves play a role in labyrinth sealing, that is, after the throttling ring rotates, the hot water passes through each buffering cooling groove when passing through, and the cooling time is further prolonged. The throttling ring for throttling is applied to a high-temperature hot water circulating pump, the throttling performance of the throttling ring is brought into full play, the effect of combining buffering and cooling is achieved, cooling is effective, and the problem that in the prior art, the cooling effect of the high-temperature hot water circulating pump is poor is solved.
