[0024] It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further explanation of the present application. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs.
[0025] Embodiment One
[0026] In a typical embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1 , a three-form bidirectional sealing structure includes a shaft 5 and an end cover 2, the end cover 2 is arranged on the side of the shaft 5 and coaxially arranged with the shaft 5, a sealing ring 1 is arranged between the end cover 2 and the shaft 5 for sealing, and a felt 7 is arranged between the end cover 2 and the sealing ring 1 to form a felt seal 10. The felt 7 is used to absorb and isolate liquid small particles and solid dust.
[0027] The sealing ring body extends in the axial direction to form a medium sealing ring on both sides of the end cover 2, specifically, the sealing ring body extends in the axial direction to form a first medium sealing ring 3 and a second medium sealing ring 4, and the first medium sealing ring 3 and the second medium sealing ring 4 are located on both sides of the end cover 2, wherein the outer diameter of the first medium sealing ring 3 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second medium sealing ring 4.
[0028] A plurality of protrusions are arranged on the first medium sealing ring 3 and the second medium sealing ring 4, and a plurality of grooves are arranged in parallel at the positions corresponding to the protrusions of the end cover 2, and the number of the grooves is the same as that of the protrusions and the grooves are arranged correspondingly.
[0029] The depth of the groove is greater than the length of the protrusion, and the width of the groove is greater than the width of the protrusion, so that the groove and the protrusion are in a clearance fit, the protrusion is a ring-shaped protrusion, and the groove is a ring-shaped groove. In this embodiment, the plurality of protrusions and the grooves are matched to form a labyrinth seal 8, and further, the groove and the protrusion are in a clearance fit to form a non-contact clearance seal 9.
[0030] Considering the centrifugal force when the shaft 5 rotates, the protrusions of this embodiment are arranged in close contact with the outer side surface of the groove. In this embodiment, three protrusions are arranged on the first medium sealing ring 3, and one protrusion is arranged on the second medium sealing ring 4, and the cross section of the protrusion is rectangular.
[0031] The protrusions and grooves cooperate to form a labyrinth seal 8. The first and second dielectric sealing rings 3 and 4 are located on either side of the end cap 2, forming a bilateral labyrinth seal. A felt seal 10 is located between the two labyrinth seals. Labyrinth seal 8 primarily utilizes the centrifugal force of the medium generated by the rotation of the sealing rings 1. The non-contact gap seal 9 utilizes the tension of the oil film for sealing.
[0032] During high-speed rotation, the labyrinth seal 8 is the main sealing method. During medium and low-speed rotation, the labyrinth seal 8 and the non-contact gap seal 9 seal together, and the oil mist, water mist, microparticles, etc. are sealed by the felt 7.
[0033] Furthermore, an oil return hole 6 is provided on the end cap 2. This hole is located on the side of the end cap near the first medium sealing ring 3. One end of the hole 6 extends through the end cap 2, while the other end communicates with a groove on the inner side of the end cap 2, i.e., the inner hole of the end cap. This hole allows the medium to flow back, preventing the accumulation of pressure that could affect the sealing effect.
[0034] When the shaft 5 rotates at high speed, the first medium sealing ring 3 rotates at high speed, and the medium flows radially toward the outer edge of the first medium sealing ring 3 under the action of centrifugal force, forming high pressure in the circumferential direction, preventing the oil from flowing toward the center of the circle and leaking, thereby achieving a good sealing effect. Similarly, the second medium sealing ring 4 and the end cover 2 form a labyrinth seal to prevent the medium from being connected in series.
[0035] When the shaft 5 runs at medium and low speeds, the sealing ability of the bilateral labyrinth seal is weakened, and part of the medium flowing out after being sealed by the labyrinth seal is sealed by the non-contact gap seal 9. There is a gap between the sealing ring 1 protrusion of the non-contact gap seal 9 and the inner hole (groove) of the end cover. When the medium passes through, a medium film is formed. The medium film adheres to the gap between the oil sealing ring and the end cover, forming tension. The film tension forms sealing resistance. At the same time, the non-contact gap sealing part is also connected to the oil return hole 6 through the inner groove. The escaping medium flows back through the oil return hole 6 to avoid the accumulation of medium to form pressure that affects the sealing effect.
[0036] In addition, a felt seal 10 is included, and a felt 7 is filled between the sealing ring and the inner hole of the end cover to prevent oil mist, water mist, microparticles, etc. from being connected in series. Therefore, a triple-layered multi-sealing structure is formed between the shaft and the end cover in this embodiment, greatly enhancing the sealing effect.
[0037] Bidirectional sealing, no contact, no wear, strong bidirectional sealing ability, simple structure, reliable performance. After years of application verification, it can meet the bidirectional sealing requirements under harsh working conditions such as high temperature, high humidity, dust, and open air, and has a large space for promotion.
[0038] Compared with the sealing ring seal of the sealing structure of this embodiment: the sealing ring seal is a contact seal, and there is contact wear, which affects the life of the sealing ring; the labyrinth seal 8 and the non-contact gap seal 9 of this embodiment are both contactless sealing methods, there is a gap between the seals, no wear occurs, and the service life of the seal is improved.
[0039] Compared with a single labyrinth seal: the labyrinth seal is a single-sided seal, while the labyrinth seal of this embodiment is a double-sided seal, which further enhances the sealing effect; the labyrinth seal has a weak sealing effect at medium and low speeds, and this embodiment adds a non-contact gap seal 9 on the basis of the labyrinth seal. When the shaft 5 rotates at medium and low speeds, the effect of the labyrinth seal 8 is weakened, thereby improving the sealing ability at medium and low speeds.
[0040] Compared with the single non-contact gap seal 9, this embodiment adds a labyrinth seal 8 and a felt seal 10, enhances the sealing ability at high, medium and low speeds, can meet the two-way sealing requirements under harsh working conditions such as high temperature, high humidity, dust, open air, etc., and has a large room for promotion.
[0041] The foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
