Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sealing structures, and in particular to a completely split cartridge-type mechanical sealing structure, which is functionally used as a rotary shaft sealing device for a pump device under pressure. Background Art

[0002] Mechanical seal structures have been used to provide a fluid seal between a rotatable shaft and a fluid containing chamber. Thus, mechanical seal structures are used in the sealing of rotating shafts of pump equipment under pressure, in which application the mechanical seal structure is generally located where the rotatable shaft enters or exits the housing and is mounted to the housing and the rotatable shaft to provide a seal between those components. Such mechanical seal structures generally include some components that rotate about the shaft and those components that are mounted to the fixed part of the equipment. At the interface between these rotating and fixed components are contacting sealing surfaces; one rotates and the other is fixed. These sealing surfaces are in relative relationship and are configured to be forced into contact to form a fluid seal between them.

[0003] At present, these sealing structures are generally completed with an integrated annular sealing structure. The integrated structure has high space requirements for installation operations during the installation process and requires a relatively large installation space. At the same time, the installation process is time-consuming. In order to ensure the final sealing during the installation process, the size of the product cannot be too large, and it must be ensured that it can be smoothly inserted into the outside of the shaft, which ultimately leads to relatively complicated installation. In addition, if the sealing structure needs to be disassembled later, it is necessary to disassemble large components such as internal bearings, reducers, and motors, and then replace or repair the sealing structure, which greatly increases the time and cost of equipment disassembly and maintenance, so it needs to be improved.

[0028] During the processing: the dynamic ring part is designed as a 7-shaped structure, which is also similar to a V-shaped opening with the opening facing outward and tilted, so that the dynamic ring can be easily connected without misaligning the teeth during installation; at the same time, a trapezoidal connection structure is used between the dynamic ring and the static ring, so that the dynamic and static rings will not fall off.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
