Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vacuum pump testing technology, specifically to a testing device and method for testing the airtightness of the shaft seal lip of a vacuum pump shaft seal. Background Technology

[0002] Shaft seals are a common sealing device in vacuum pumps. One of their functions is to seal off gases. When the pump is in operation, the pressure in the pump chamber is higher than that in the gearbox and bearing chamber. This prevents gas from flowing into the gearbox or bearing chamber through the pump chamber, causing oil contamination, deteriorating the operating environment, leading to abnormal damage to the bearings and gears, and reducing the pump's service life. When the pump is at its ultimate pressure, the pressure in the gearbox and bearing chamber is higher than that in the pump chamber. This prevents oil and gas from flowing into the pump chamber, increasing the pump's operating resistance, increasing energy consumption, and reducing performance. In certain process environments, it can also mix with process reactants to form sticky deposits, leading to increased friction and causing malfunctions and shutdowns.

[0003] The shortcomings of existing technology:

[0075] This invention provides accurate testing of the airtightness of the shaft seal lip for vacuum pumps. The testing simulates the working state of the shaft seal, preventing dust leakage from the pump chamber into the oil chamber or oil entering the pump chamber due to airtightness issues of the shaft seal lip. This reduces the impact of such problems on the performance and lifespan of the vacuum pump, improving the overall reliability of the product. Furthermore, since different vacuum pump series use different shaft seals, the outer casing does not need to be replaced during the design process.

10. The testing equipment and method for testing the airtightness of the shaft seal lip of a vacuum pump shaft seal according to any one of claims 1-9, characterized in that: This method includes the following steps: S1. Test preparation: Install the oil seal lip or air seal lip to be tested on the tooling shaft (109), and then install the tooling shaft (109) through the large bearing (107) and the small bearing (108); S2, Test 1: First, heat the tooling shaft (109) to the test temperature using the heating rod (22). Then, open the second solenoid valve (245), close the fourth solenoid valve (247) and the fifth solenoid valve (249), adjust the first solenoid valve (244) to make the pressure sensor (242) display the test pressure, and read the values ​​of the two flow meters (2401). If the two values ​​are equal to 0, adjust the first solenoid valve (244) to make the intake pressure increase arithmetically to the high pressure setting value. Observe the values ​​of the two flow meters (2401) at each pressure point. If the flow value is greater than 0 during the pressurization period, it is considered that there is flow. The human-machine interaction software of the lower computer (31) will display an alarm, close the second solenoid valve (245), open the fifth solenoid valve (249), and end the test. S3, Test 2: First, heat the heating rod (22) to a high temperature; 1) Open the second solenoid valve (245), the fourth solenoid valve (247) and the fifth solenoid valve (249) and adjust them to the preset pressure displayed by the pressure sensor (242); 2) Close the second solenoid valve (245), the fourth solenoid valve (247) and the fifth solenoid valve (249), and then open the fourth solenoid valve (247) for a set time to read the values ​​of the two flow meters (2401). If the value is greater than 0, an alarm will be displayed directly and the test can be ended depending on the situation. If the value is equal to 0, then close the second solenoid valve (245) and the fourth solenoid valve (247), open the fifth solenoid valve (249) for a set time, and determine whether the set test time has been reached; 3) If not reached, repeat step 2). When the set time is reached, close the fourth solenoid valve (247) and the fifth solenoid valve (249), open the second solenoid valve (245), adjust the first solenoid valve (244) until the pressure sensor (242) displays the test pressure, read the reading of the flow meter (2401), and determine whether the value is equal to zero. If it is equal to 0, adjust the first solenoid valve (244) to increase the intake pressure at a set step value to the high pressure set value. Observe the values ​​of the two flow meters (2401) at each pressure point. If the flow value is greater than 0 during the pressurization period, it is considered that there is flow. The human-machine interaction software will display an alarm, close the second solenoid valve (245), open the fifth solenoid valve (249), and decide whether to end the test depending on the situation. If the flow value is always equal to 0 during the period, close the second solenoid valve (245), open the fifth solenoid valve (249), and repeat step 2). 4) If the flow rate is still equal to 0 when the final test time is reached, stop the test, close the second solenoid valve (245), open the fifth solenoid valve (249), and the human-machine interaction software interface will display that the verification has passed.
