Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the prior art, multi-stage centrifugal blowers have the advantages of low noise and high efficiency, and can be widely used in many occasions such as environmental protection chemical pneumatic transportation.

[0003] However, during operation, the axial force changes with the working conditions, and the fan pressure is particularly sensitive to the ambient temperature. High temperature will significantly reduce the fan pressure. If the fan pressure is less than or equal to the system resistance, it will cause the fan to surge and damage the fan. The impeller clearance of the multi-stage blower is small, and the main shaft length and other structures determine the poor rigidity of the rotor. It is easy to be damaged by parts such as bearings, causing the clearance to change, which will instantly cause the impeller seal to rub and scratch, thereby damaging the fan.

[0004] In order to balance the axial force under various working conditions, a balancing disc structure is used at the outlet end of the blower. The balancing disc is installed behind the end impeller of the blower rotor, so that the axial force borne by the balancing disc during operation is opposite to the total axial force of the blower, offsetting part of the axial force to achieve a self-balancing state. The method to deal with bearing damage is generally to use high-precision bearings to extend the bearing life as much as possible and reduce the frequency of equipment damage caused by bearing damage, but the cost is also high.

[0005] At present, there is no proprietary technology to overcome the blower surge damage caused by changes in system resistance or pressure reduction due to factors such as temperature and speed.

For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying creative work.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The present invention discloses a non-surge multi-stage centrifugal blower, which comprises a housing assembly, a main shaft 10 and an impeller 9;

[0045] The housing assembly includes an air intake housing 13 and an air outlet housing 8 which are interconnected, and a plurality of intermediate housings 12 arranged between the air intake housing 13 and the air outlet housing 8; a chamber is arranged in the intermediate housing 12; an air volume sensor 18 is arranged at the outlet end of the air outlet housing 8; an exhaust pipe 20 with a pressure sensor 22 and an automatic valve 21 is arranged at the outlet end of the air outlet housing 8;

[0046] The main shaft 10 is arranged in the middle of the housing assembly, and the two ends of the main shaft 10 are connected to the air intake housing 13 and the air outlet housing 8 through the air intake bearing seat 14 and the air outlet bearing seat 2 respectively; the air outlet bearing seat 2 is provided with a vibration sensor 17;

[0047] The impeller 9 is correspondingly arranged in the chamber in the intermediate housing 12 and is drivingly connected to the main shaft 10; a first gap 11 is left between the impeller 9 and the intermediate chamber;

[0048] A balancing disc 7 with a sealing ring is provided at the connection between the air outlet housing 8 and the main shaft 10; a sealing cover 6 is provided on the outer side of the balancing disc 7, and one end of the sealing cover 6 is connected to the air outlet housing 8, and the other end is connected to the main shaft 10; a second gap 25 and a displacement sensor 5 are left at the connection between the sealing cover 6 and the main shaft 10; a sealed chamber 26 is formed between the sealing cover 6 and the balancing disc 7; the sealed chamber 26 is communicated with the air intake housing 13 through the return air pipe 1;

[0049] The air volume sensor 18 , the pressure sensor 22 , the vibration sensor 17 , the displacement sensor 5 and the automatic valve 21 are electrically connected to the electronic controller respectively.

[0050] Furthermore, a diffuser pipe 19 is provided at the outlet end of the gas outlet casing 8 .

[0051] Furthermore, the outlet bearing seat 2 has a built-in heavy-duty support bearing 3 , and a third gap 24 is left between the heavy-duty support bearing 3 and a bearing side cover 23 provided on one side of the outlet bearing seat 2 ; the heavy-duty support bearing 3 slides in the third gap 24 .

[0052] Furthermore, the outer peripheral wall and the outer side wall of the balancing disc 7 are respectively labyrinth seals 16 .

[0053] Furthermore, the intake bearing seat 14 is composed of two radial ball bearings 15 , and a spacer sleeve 4 is provided between the two radial ball bearings 15 .

[0054] The present invention has a reasonable structure and can operate reliably, optimizes the gas reflux and sealing structure, can not only overcome the damage to the equipment caused by the gap change due to bearing damage, but also avoid the damage to the equipment caused by the change of system resistance and the incompatibility of the fan pressure, and ensures the reliable operation of the blower.

[0055] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following effects:

[0056] The blower can be double protected against the change of the blower gap through the pressure displacement control system, so as to prevent the blower from further damage due to damage to the bearing and other parts;

[0057] The blower can provide alarm and pressure relief protection for the equipment through vibration and air volume control system;

[0058] It saves labor and time, is convenient and fast, thus greatly extending the trouble-free operation time of the blower, enhancing the reliability of the blower, and improving the operating efficiency of the blower.

[0059] The actuator and control device of the monitoring device are installed in an obvious and convenient position outside the blower casing, which is convenient for timely observation and adjustment of the blower's operating status and user convenience.

[0060] The bearing damage protection of the present invention is realized by a pressure sensor. When the bearing 15 or the bearing 3 is damaged suddenly, the bearing loses position control due to the damage of the retainer, causing the bearing rolling element to contact the inner and outer rings, and the position of the inner hole and the outer ring changes, causing the gap S between the hard support mechanism and the main shaft to become smaller. When S is equal to 50% of the assembly gap J, the sensor sends a signal, lights up and sounds an alarm, at this time, the hard support begins to contact the main shaft; if the gap continues to change, when S is equal to 80% of the assembly gap J, the displacement sensor 5 sends a signal to open the system automatic valve 21, and then cut off the power supply of the main motor.

[0061] The non-surge protection of the present invention can be realized by an air volume sensor. When the fan output air volume is less than 40% of the set air volume, the fan will vibrate due to the turbulence of the air flow inside the shell, and the sensor will transmit a signal to the control system to alarm; when the fan output air volume is less than 20% of the set air volume, the fan will vibrate violently due to the turbulence of the air flow inside the shell, and the air volume sensor will transmit a signal to the control system to open the automatic valve and then cut off the power supply of the main motor.

[0062] The non-surge protection of the present invention can also be achieved through a vibration sensor. When the fan output air volume is less than 40% of the set air volume, the fan will vibrate due to the turbulent air flow inside the shell. When the vibration value of the blower is higher than 7.1mm / s, the vibration sensor transmits a signal to the control system to alarm; when the fan output air volume is less than 20% of the set air volume, the fan will vibrate violently due to the turbulent air flow inside the shell. When the vibration value of the blower is higher than 11.2mm / s, the vibration sensor transmits a signal to the control system, and the control system sends a signal to open the system drain valve and then cut off the power supply of the main motor.
