AI Technical Summary
Oil leakage is common at the shaft seal of rotating machinery, leading to lubricant waste and environmental pollution. Existing replacement methods involve a large amount of construction work, high costs, and are not very effective.
Installing an oil baffle ring and a sealing cover on rotating equipment creates a sealed space. Leaking oil enters the sealed space and is then recycled back into the equipment via an oil return assembly, preventing further leakage.
This enables the recycling of lubricating oil, reduces processing costs, minimizes the impact on production lines, and solves the problem of oil leakage due to shaft seal wear without the need for large-scale equipment disassembly.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of rotating machinery and equipment, and in particular to a sealing oil return device for a rotating shaft and its sealing method. Background Technology
[0002] Rotating machinery is widely used in modern industrial production. To ensure the long-term stable operation of rotating equipment, closed-loop lubrication systems are designed to lubricate the rotating parts. Additionally, internal sealing devices are incorporated to prevent lubricant leakage. However, as the equipment ages, shaft seals wear and fail, leading to widespread oil leakage. While shaft seal leakage doesn't affect the machine's overall operation, it wastes lubricant and pollutes the environment.
[0003] Currently, the traditional approach is to replace the entire rotating equipment or disassemble the rotating equipment online to replace the seal. Both methods involve extensive on-site work, high replacement costs, and prolonged production line downtime when replacing the entire rotating equipment, requiring the complete disassembly and alignment of the associated couplings and pipelines. Similarly, online disassembly and separate seal replacement involves disassembly and alignment of the associated couplings and motors, also resulting in significant on-site work and the likelihood of recurring oil leaks within a certain operating period. Neither method can completely solve the problem of oil leakage from the rotating shaft seal. Summary of the Invention

[0011] In some embodiments, the oil baffle ring is composed of two semicircular rings joined together, and the two ends of the two semicircular rings are connected by a second bolt.

[0013] Clean the rotating shaft and fix the oil baffle ring on the rotating shaft;
[0014] Clean the rotating equipment and install the sealing cover on the rotating equipment;
[0015] Install the oil return assembly on the sealing cover.
[0016] In some embodiments, the step of fixing the oil baffle ring to the rotating shaft includes: fixing two semicircular rings to the rotating shaft with a second bolt to ensure that there is no relative rotation between the oil baffle ring and the rotating shaft, while maintaining a gap of 5mm to 10mm between the oil baffle ring and the shaft seal in the original rotating equipment.
