[0002] When the working surfaces of the moving ring and the stationary ring in a mechanical seal rotate at a relatively high speed, since the power of the moving ring's rotation generally comes from the main shaft of the engine, vibration during the rotation process is inevitable, and the frequency of the vibration is usually very high, which will not only affect the performance of the elastic parts at the moving ring, but also cause the moving ring to get stuck on the stationary ring, causing the stationary ring to rotate circumferentially, affecting the sealing performance of the stationary ring.

[0003] The existing patent document with publication number CN216666499U provides a self-locking mechanical seal, which improves the performance of the mechanical seal by preventing the dynamic ring and the static ring from getting stuck together. The application has good effects, but due to its complex internal structure, the maintenance frequency is high under high-intensity working rings. The contact between the dynamic ring and the static ring is caused by the increase of friction force, which causes the static ring to move. Similarly, enhancing the fixing effect of the static ring can also have good effects. Utility Model Content

Therefore, the above terms should not be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0030] It is to be understood that the term "one" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element may be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element may be multiple, and the term "one" should not be understood as a limitation on the quantity. Example

[0031] See also Figure 1-6The present application provides a mechanical seal, including a sealing rotor 1 and a stationary ring 2. The sealing rotor 1 is fixed on a rotating shaft, and the stationary ring 2 is fixed on a device housing.

[0032] The outer ring of the stationary ring 2 is sleeved with a sealing ring in contact with the equipment housing for sealing, and the inner end of the sealed rotor 1 is sealed with the rotating shaft through the sealing ring.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of grooves 3 are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction at one end of the stationary ring 2 connected to the device housing, and the grooves 3 are arranged in a cross structure. A stopper 4 is installed on each groove 3, and one end of the stopper 4 is made of elastic material and protrudes outward from the surface of the groove 3. When the housing is installed, the stopper 4 fully contacts the device housing to achieve an interference fit. The inner side of the stopper 4 is made of hard material, and after its surface is deformed, it will not cause hardness to the bottom surface. The sealing stopper 4 contacts the rotating shaft to generate friction.

[0034] When the groove 3 is arranged in a cross structure, the limiting member 4 can be prevented from falling off from the groove 3 in the radial direction or the circumferential direction, thereby maintaining the stability of the stationary ring 2.

[0035] The utility model improves the installation stability of the stationary ring 2 and the equipment housing by installing an elastic limiter 4 at the end of the stationary ring 2, and avoids the stationary ring 2 from rotating due to the interference of the sealing rotor 1, which causes sealing problems.

[0036] The utility model arranges a groove 3 on the basis of the stationary ring 2 and fills the limiter 4, so that the stability of installation is improved and the disassembly and assembly are convenient on the basis of maintaining the shape of the dynamic ring 6.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the sealed rotor 1 is composed of an end seat 5 and a moving ring 6, both of which are sleeved on the rotating shaft, and a threaded hole is provided on the side of the end seat 5, and the end seat 5 is fixed to the rotating shaft by installing bolts. The moving ring 6 is located on the side of the end seat 5, and three clamps 7 are fixed circumferentially on the end seat 5. The clamps 7 face the moving ring 6 and penetrate into the clamping groove of the moving ring 6. The end seat 5 will drive the moving ring 6 to rotate synchronously. In addition, the inner side of the moving ring 6 is fixed to the rotating shaft by a rubber ring for sealing.

[0038] The clamping member 7 and the clamping groove are in sliding cooperation, so that the end seat 5 and the moving ring 6 are in sliding cooperation in the axial direction. In the implementation process, an elastic member 8 is provided between the end seat 5 and the moving ring 6, and the moving ring 6 is supported by the elastic member 8 to ensure the close fit of the friction end surface and to maintain compensation after the end surface wear.

[0039] The elastic member 8 is composed of a gasket 81 and a spring 82. First, a plurality of non-penetrating limiting holes 51 are set at one end of the end seat 5 facing the movable ring 6, and a vent hole 52 is set at the bottom end of the limiting hole 51, and the vent hole 52 will penetrate the end seat 5. A convex rod 83 is welded on the side of the gasket 81, and each convex rod 83 faces the limiting hole 51 and is sleeved with a spring 82. During installation, the gasket 81 is abutted against the end of the movable ring 6, and the convex rod 83 penetrates the limiting hole 51. One end of the spring 82 contacts the bottom end of the limiting hole 51, and the other end contacts the gasket 81. During installation, the spring 82 is in a compressed state and abuts against the outer side of the convex rod 83 to slide with it.

[0040] In the present invention, the spring 82 is used to maintain the close fit of the friction end surface of the dynamic ring 6. After the spring 82 is sleeved on the protruding rod 83, the circumferential torsion of the spring 82 when the rotating shaft is working can be offset to prevent the spring 82 from deforming and twisting.

[0041] The provision of the air hole 52 maintains the flow of gas or liquid inside the limiting hole 51 , thereby preventing the pressure resistance from affecting the deformation of the spring 82 when the protruding rod 83 moves.

[0042] In the present application, the dynamic ring 6 and the stationary ring 2 are in contact with each other and generate friction. The spring 82 maintains the tight seal at the dynamic ring 6 and also controls the contact stability between the dynamic ring 6 and the stationary ring 2, making it difficult for the stopper 4 to disengage in the axial direction.

[0043] In some embodiments, according to the structure of the device housing, a flange seat 9 can be installed on the side of the dynamic ring 6, and the limiter 4 can be fixed on the side of the flange seat 9. After the flange seat 9 is fixed, the limiter 4 can be inserted into the groove 3 to engage with it. At this time, the limiter 4 can be made of hard material and does not need to protrude outward. The fixed flange seat 9 can limit the dynamic ring 6 to prevent its circumferential rotation. The plug-in relationship between the limiter 4 and the groove 3 makes it easy to disassemble and replace the dynamic ring 6.

[0044] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are only examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been demonstrated and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the principles, the embodiments of the present invention may be deformed or modified in any way.
