DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following description.

[0026] like Figure 2As shown, a fluid static pressure type main pump mechanical seal test device includes a base 2, a motor 4, a main shaft 5 and a test sleeve 7. A lower cavity 10, an upper cavity 11 and a top seat 12 are fixed on the base 2 from bottom to top, wherein the upper cavity 11 and the lower cavity 10 are fixed to the base 2 by a plurality of long rod bolts, and the top seat 12 is fixed to the upper cavity 11 by a plurality of long rod bolts. The lower end of the main shaft 5 is rotatably mounted on the base 2, and the upper end is rotatably mounted on the top seat 12. The motor 4 is connected to the main shaft 5 by transmission. The main shaft 5 is fixedly mounted with a test sleeve 7, and the test sleeve 7 is mounted on the main shaft 5. On the test sleeve 7, No. 2 seal 15 and No. 3 seal 16 are installed in sequence from bottom to top, No. 2 seal 15 is a contact mechanical seal, No. 3 seal 16 is a radial end face mechanical seal, No. 2 seal 15 is located on the inner side of the upper cavity 11, and No. 3 seal 16 is located on the inner side of the No. 3 sealing cavity of the top seat 12; There is a No. 3 seal injection water flange interface 26 on the side wall of the sealing shell of the top seat 12, which is connected to the No. 3 seal leakage water pipe of the test system, and the No. 3 seal leakage water flange interface 27 on the side wall of the sealing shell of the top seat 12 is connected to the No. 3 seal leakage water pipe of the test system; In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the No. 3 seal injection water is introduced into the internal channel of the static ring of the No. 3 seal 16 through the thin tube in the sealing cavity to the No. 3 seal end face, which plays the role of cooling, lubricating the end face of the No. 3 seal 16, and flushing the end face of the No. 3 seal 16 to prevent crystallization. More importantly, the pressure of the No. 3 seal injection water is higher than the pressure of the No. 3 seal cavity, thereby preventing the medium in the No. 3 seal cavity from leaking to the atmosphere through the No. 3 seal end face. The No. 2 seal leakage water flange interface 25 on the side wall of the sealing shell of the top seat 12 is connected to the No. 2 seal leakage water pipe of the test system; a temperature sensor 17 is installed on the side wall of the upper cavity 11, and the induction head of the temperature sensor 17 is located on the inner side of the lower cavity 10, which can monitor the temperature in the sealing cavity in real time.

[0027] Furthermore, if Figure 1As shown, in order to simulate the test requirements of different working conditions of the main pump seal, the test sleeve 7 can also be installed with a No. 1 seal 14, which is located below the No. 2 seal 15. A No. 1 seal water injection hole 22 is opened on the side wall of the lower cavity 10, and the injection water pressure is controlled by the system (not shown in the figure). The No. 1 seal pressure sensor mounting hole 23 is installed with a pressure sensor to detect the pressure of the No. 1 seal cavity. A No. 1 seal leakage water interface 24 is opened on the side wall of the upper cavity 11, which is connected to the No. 1 seal leakage water pipe of the test system, and the leakage pressure is controlled by the system (not shown in the figure). The No. 1 seal water injection hole 22 and the No. 1 seal pressure sensor mounting hole 23 are arranged opposite to each other. During normal operation, high-pressure sealing water is injected through the No. 1 seal water injection hole 22 and leaks into the No. 2 seal cavity through the No. 1 seal end face. Most of it enters the system (not shown in the figure) through leakage port No. 1 and circulates, and the control system controls the pressure of sealing chamber No. 2 by controlling the pressure of leakage No. 1. A small part of it leaks into sealing chamber No. 3 through sealing end face No. 2, and merges with the leakage water of No. 3 seal injection water leaking into sealing chamber No. 3 through sealing end face No. 3 to form leakage water of No. 2 seal, which enters the system (not shown in the figure) through leakage water flange interface 25 of No. 2 seal and circulates, and the control system controls the pressure of sealing chamber No. 3 by controlling the pressure of leakage No. 2.

[0028] Simulating the normal operating conditions of the nuclear power plant, during the test, the pressure of the water injected into the No. 3 seal is slightly higher than the pressure of the No. 3 seal chamber. A small part of the water injected into the No. 3 seal enters the No. 3 seal chamber through the outer end face of the No. 3 seal and merges with the leakage water from the No. 2 seal end face described in the previous section to form the leakage water of the No. 2 seal; most of the water injected into the No. 3 seal leaks through the inner end face of the No. 3 seal to form the leakage water from the No. 3 seal and is discharged from the No. 3 seal leakage water flange interface 27. Since the pressure of the water injected into the No. 3 seal is always kept slightly higher than the pressure of the No. 3 seal chamber, the leakage water of the No. 3 seal is clean during the operation of the nuclear power plant, which can ensure that there is no harm to the atmospheric environment.

[0029] For further information, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lower end of the test sleeve 7 is equipped with a liner seal dynamic ring assembly 8, the base is equipped with a liner seal static ring assembly, and a liner seal leakage end mechanical seal 9 is also arranged between the main shaft 5 and the base 2. The base 2 is also provided with a liner seal leakage hole 20 and a circulating water outlet 21. The function of the circulating water outlet 21 is to discharge the medium through the circulating water outlet 21 after the test is completed.

[0030] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lower end of the main shaft 5 is installed in the base 2 through the lower bearing assembly, and the upper end of the main shaft 5 is installed on the top seat 12 through the upper bearing assembly 13. The lower bearing assembly and the upper bearing assembly are both conventional bearing assemblies and will not be described in detail here.

[0031] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the base 2 is fixed on the machine base 1 , the motor 4 is installed on the machine base 1 , and the motor 4 is connected to the main shaft 5 through a transmission member 6 .

[0032] In this embodiment, in order to save installation space, the output shaft of the motor 4 is parallel to the main shaft 5, the transmission member 6 is a belt, and the belt can be a V-belt or a toothed belt, etc., the output end of the motor 4 is equipped with an output pulley, and the lower end of the main shaft 5 is equipped with an input pulley, and the output pulley is connected to the input pulley through a belt transmission. The motor 4 is placed on the side, the height of the test bench is greatly reduced, the safety is higher, and the assembly, disassembly, operation and maintenance are more convenient and quick.

[0033] It should be noted that the motor 4 can also be installed coaxially with the main shaft 5, that is, the transmission member 6 can be selected as a coupling, and the motor 4 and the main shaft 5 are connected through the coupling.

[0034] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the test sleeve 7 of this embodiment rotates coaxially with the main shaft 5. In this embodiment, the test sleeve 7 is fixed on the main shaft 5 by means of compression transmission. Specifically, the lower end of the test sleeve 7 abuts against the shoulder of the main shaft 5, and the upper end of the test sleeve 7 is fixed on the main shaft 5 by a positioning assembly 18. The positioning assembly 18 includes a petal ring 37, a pressure ring 38, a compression screw 39 and an elastic washer 40. The petal ring 37 is clamped on the main shaft 5. An annular step is provided on the upper end surface of the test sleeve 7, and the annular step is coaxial with the main shaft 5. The pressure ring 38 is installed in the annular step, and the tightening screw 39 passes through the petal ring 37 and is locked in the pressure ring 38. An elastic gasket 40 is provided between the pressure ring 38 and the annular step. In the actual installation process, the petal ring 37 is a two-petal structure and can be directly clamped on the main shaft 5. In order to prevent circumferential rotation between the main shaft 5 and the petal ring 37, a pin 41 can be provided on the inner wall of the petal ring 37. Correspondingly, a pin hole is opened in the clamping groove of the main shaft 5, and the pin 41 is inserted into the pin hole, thereby preventing the petal ring 37 and the main shaft 5 from relative rotation.

[0035] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a transmission ring 19 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the test sleeve 7, and the transmission ring 19 is fixed to the test sleeve 7 by screws. A sealing sleeve is fixed below the transmission ring 19. The sealing sleeve is the sleeve actually installed in the main pump. The sealing sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the test sleeve 7, and the No. 2 seal 15 and the No. 3 seal 16 are installed on the outside of the sealing sleeve. During the assembly test, the test sleeve 7 does not need to be disassembled. It is only necessary to remove the transmission ring 19 from the test sleeve 7 to remove the sealing sleeve as a whole.

[0036] Furthermore, a tensioning assembly 28 for adjusting the position of the motor 4 is also installed on the machine base 1. The tensioning assembly 28 includes a fixing block and an adjusting screw. The fixing block is fixed on the machine base 1. The adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the fixing block, and the front end surface of the adjusting screw abuts against the mounting seat of the motor 4. According to the tension of the belt, the installation position of the motor 4 is adjusted through the tensioning assembly 28. Specifically, the anchor bolts of the motor 4 are loosened, the adjusting screws are turned, and the motor 4 is pushed to move. When it moves to a suitable position, the anchor bolts of the motor 4 are tightened.
