Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mechanical engineering sealing, and specifically relates to a magnetohydrodynamic seal using stator winding pole shoes. Background Technology
[0002] Magnetofluid sealing utilizes the magnetic force generated by a permanent magnet within the sealing gap to firmly fix the magnetofluid within the gap, resisting the pressure difference on both sides, thereby achieving a sealing effect.
[0003] The permanent magnets commonly used in magnetic fluid seals are generally sintered neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) materials, which are difficult to process and are brittle and hard. Once the structure is determined, the magnetic field it generates cannot be controlled, and it suffers from severe demagnetization in extreme environments, affecting pressure resistance and seal stability. Furthermore, while the columnar structure of magnetic particles at the sealing gap does improve pressure resistance under static and steady-state magnetic field conditions—explaining how the pressure resistance of magnetic fluid seals increases over time under static sealing—it also results in a significant increase in starting torque under dynamic sealing conditions. This severely hinders the starting of the sealing spindle, and once forced to start, the increased pressure resistance due to the columnar structure of the magnetic fluid particles disappears. Therefore, in dynamic sealing applications, the presence of the columnar structure of magnetic particles presents disadvantages such as high starting torque and inaccurate pressure resistance, making it largely meaningless and should be avoided. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a magnetic fluid sealing device using stator winding pole shoes. By applying the stator winding structure of a motor to magnetic fluid sealing, the magnitude of the magnetic field in the sealing gap can be adjusted by regulating the current of the winding coil. This solves the problems of large starting torque, inaccurate pressure resistance, and difficulty in magnetizing, processing, demagnetizing, and uncontrollable magnetic field of permanent magnets in magnetic fluid sealing.
[0005] This patent presents finite element simulations of numerous magnetic fluid sealing examples, analyzes the simulation results, and proposes a reasonable design scheme for magnetic fluid sealing using stator winding pole shoes.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A magnetohydrodynamic seal using stator winding pole shoes includes a shaft, a magnetic ring, a stator pole shoe ring, a non-magnetic ring, a winding coil, and a housing; characterized in that: the magnetic ring and the stator pole shoe ring are disposed on the inner wall of the housing, a gap is left between the inner circular surface of the stator pole shoe ring and the outer circular surface of the shaft, and the non-magnetic ring is disposed between the two stator pole shoe rings; the outer circular surface of the shaft is provided with pole teeth, the pole teeth being radially directed towards the inner surface of the stator pole shoe ring. The outer circular surface extends with a gap, which is filled with magnetic fluid for sealing. To ensure that the gap between the outer circular surface of the shaft and the inner circular surface of the stator pole shoe ring forms a uniform magnetic field along the circumference, the stator core has several pole phase slots inside. The distance between the smallest diameter of the pole phase slot and the outer circular surface of the shaft is 0.05 to 3 mm. The coil is embedded in the pole phase slot using a slotted wire embedding structure, with 12 to 36 slots. After the winding coil wiring is completed, the pole phase slots of the stator pole shoe ring are installed together with the magnetic ring.
[0007] The magnetohydrodynamic seal using stator winding type pole shoes is characterized in that: the number of pole teeth on the outer circular surface of the shaft is 2 to 20.
[0008] The magnetic fluid seal using stator winding pole shoes is characterized in that the gap between the outer circular surface of the pole teeth of the shaft and the inner circular surface of the stator pole shoe ring (3) is 0.05 to 3 mm.
[0009] The magnetic fluid seal using stator winding pole shoes is characterized in that: the winding coil is copper wire covered with enamel, powered by a DC power supply, and the windings in different pole shoe rings are supplied with DC current in opposite directions. The magnetic field generated at the center of the winding coil enters the center of another winding coil through the magnetic pole shoe and shaft to form a magnetic circuit.
[0010] The magnetohydrodynamic seal using stator winding pole shoes is characterized in that: the total number of pole phase slots per phase of the stator core of the stator pole shoe ring is even, and a sealing ring groove is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the stator pole shoe ring.
