Description

Technical Field

[0001] This article relates to the technical field of rotary kilns, and in particular to a sealing device and a rotary kiln. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of lithium battery cathode materials, the washed materials need to be dried to remove moisture. Currently, double cone dryers are commonly used in cathode material production, but they cannot achieve continuous drying, affecting production efficiency. Rotary kilns are a commonly used industrial chemical equipment for continuous drying of materials. When processing materials under specific atmospheres or operating under pressure, their sealing requirements are very high.

[0003] In related technologies, rotary kilns are mostly sealed at the kiln head or kiln tail using packing seals or a combination of packing seals and labyrinth seals to prevent dust and gas leakage from inside the kiln.

[0004] However, due to errors in manufacturing and installation, as well as variations in kiln temperature, rotary kilns can experience axial movement and radial runout during rotation. This can lead to swaying and misalignment, resulting in poor sealing, powder and gas leakage, and the entry of external gaseous impurities into the furnace, affecting the furnace atmosphere.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, a rotary kiln 10 in one embodiment includes a furnace body 10a, a sealing cover 10b, and a sealing device 10c. The furnace body 10a has a rotary support end 100.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the sealing device 10c includes a packing seal assembly 200, which is used to be sleeved on the rotary support end 100 of the rotary kiln 10. The packing seal assembly 200 is also used to be fixedly connected to the sealing cover 10b of the rotary kiln 10. The sealing device 10c also includes an oil seal assembly 300, a first sealing structure 400 and a second sealing structure 500. The oil seal assembly 300 is used to be sleeved on the rotary support end 100 and is fixedly connected to the side of the packing seal assembly 200 away from the sealing cover 10b. A storage cavity 201 is formed between the oil seal assembly 300 and the packing seal assembly 200. The first sealing structure 400 elastically abuts against both the oil seal assembly 300 and the packing seal assembly 200, thereby sealing the gap between them. The first sealing structure 400 also elastically abuts against the rotary support end 100, further sealing the gap between them. The second sealing structure 500 elastically abuts against both the oil seal assembly 300 and the packing seal assembly 200, sealing the gap between them. The storage cavity 201 is located between the first sealing structure 400 and the second sealing structure 500, providing sealing structures on both its inner and outer sides.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, when the rotary kiln 10 is working, the rotary support end 100 rotates. During the operation of the rotary kiln 10, dust and gas inside the furnace body 10a will enter the gap between the sealing cover 10b and the rotary support end 100. The packing sealing assembly 200 will prevent dust and gas from entering the gap between the packing sealing assembly 200 and the rotary support end 100. That is, the packing sealing assembly 200 seals the rotary support end 100 of the furnace body 10a to prevent dust leakage. When the seal of the packing sealing assembly 200 fails, a gap is generated between the packing sealing assembly 200 and the rotary support end 100. At this time, the first sealing structure 400 will block the outflow of dust and gas, so that the first sealing structure 400 can play a sealing role.

[0052] like Figure 1As shown, furthermore, when the seal between the first sealing structure 400 and the packing seal assembly 200 fails, dust and gas will enter the storage chamber 201 through the gap between the first sealing structure 400 and the packing seal assembly 200, causing the dust to be temporarily stored in the storage chamber 201, thereby preventing dust leakage from the storage chamber 201. At this time, due to the sealing effect of the second sealing structure 500, dust and gas will not leak out, and external gas impurities will not enter the storage chamber 201. When the storage chamber 201 is full of dust, as the furnace body 10a rotates continuously, a gap will be generated between the first sealing structure 400 and the oil seal assembly 300. At this time, dust and gas will enter the oil seal assembly 300 through the gap, causing the oil seal assembly 300 to block dust and gas leakage. In this way, the packing seal assembly 200, the first sealing structure 400, the storage chamber 201, the second sealing structure 500, and the oil seal assembly 300 jointly prevent dust and gas leakage.

[0053] During the operation of the rotary kiln 10, the aforementioned sealing device 10c seals the rotary support end 100 of the furnace body 10a with the packing sealing assembly 200, i.e., the packing sealing assembly 200 blocks the flow of dust and gas. When the seal of the packing sealing assembly 200 fails, the first sealing structure 400 seals the rotary support end 100. When the seal between the first sealing structure 400 and the packing sealing assembly 200 fails, the storage chamber 201 is used to temporarily store dust and gas. At this time, the second sealing structure 500 is also used to prevent dust and gas from leaking out, while preventing external impurities from entering the storage chamber 201. When the seal between the first sealing structure 400 and the oil seal assembly 300 fails, the oil seal assembly 300 is used to prevent dust and gas from leaking out. In this way, the sealing effect of the sealing device 10c is improved by the joint blocking of dust and gas leakage by the packing sealing assembly 200, the first sealing structure 400, the storage chamber 201, the second sealing structure 500 and the oil seal assembly 300, thus avoiding the problem of powder leakage and gas leakage. At the same time, it also avoids the problem of external gas impurities entering the storage chamber 201, thereby preventing the problem of external gas impurities entering the furnace.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the first sealing structure 400 includes a packing 410, which elastically abuts against both the oil seal assembly 300 and the packing seal assembly 200 to seal the gap between them. The packing 410 also elastically abuts against the outer surface of the slewing support end 100 to seal the gap between them. A storage chamber 201 is located outside the packing 410 so that dust and gas can only enter the storage chamber 201 after the packing 410 has failed.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the packing 410 is the sealing filler. When the seal of the packing sealing assembly 200 fails, a gap is generated between the packing sealing assembly 200 and the rotary support end 100. At this time, the packing 410 of the first sealing structure 400 will block the outflow of dust and gas, allowing the packing 410 to perform its sealing effect. When a gap is generated between the packing 410 and the oil seal assembly 300, dust and gas will enter the oil seal assembly 300 through the gap, causing the oil seal assembly 300 to block the leakage of dust and gas.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the oil seal assembly 300 has a receiving groove 301 on one side adjacent to the packing seal assembly 200. The receiving groove 301 extends to the inner side of the oil seal assembly 300. The packing 410 is received in the receiving groove 301 and elastically abuts against the oil seal assembly 300 to improve the positional stability of the packing 410 and thereby improve the sealing effect of the packing 410.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the first sealing structure 400 further includes a sealing ring 420, which elastically abuts against the packing seal assembly 200 and the oil seal assembly 300, respectively. The storage cavity 201 is located between the sealing ring 420 and the second sealing structure 500. In this embodiment, when the packing 410 fails, the sealing ring 420 will prevent dust and gas from entering the storage cavity 201, thus improving the sealing effect; when the sealing ring 420 fails, dust and gas will enter the storage cavity 201.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the second sealing structure 500 is a sealing gasket to prevent dust and gas in the storage chamber 201 from leaking through the gap between the packing sealing assembly 200 and the oil seal assembly 300, and at the same time to prevent external gas impurities from entering the storage chamber 201 through the gap between the packing sealing assembly 200 and the oil seal assembly 300, thereby preventing external gas impurities from entering the furnace through the storage chamber 201.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a first storage trough 202 is provided on the side of the packing seal assembly 200 adjacent to the oil seal assembly 300, and a second storage trough 302 is provided on the side of the oil seal assembly 300 adjacent to the packing seal assembly 200. The first storage trough 202 and the second storage trough 302 are arranged opposite to each other and together form a storage cavity 201. The storage cavity 201 is formed in the oil seal assembly 300 and the packing seal assembly 200, so that the space of the storage cavity 201 can be larger, thereby increasing the storage capacity of the storage cavity 201 and improving the effect of the storage cavity 201 in preventing dust leakage.

[0060] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the packing seal assembly 200 includes a stuffing box 210, elastic packing 220, and a gland 230. The stuffing box 210 is fitted onto the rotary support end 100 and fixedly connected to the sealing cap 10b. The stuffing box 210 forms an annular receiving cavity 211 with the rotary support end 100. The elastic packing 220 fills the annular receiving cavity 211. The gland 230 is fixedly connected to the stuffing box 210, with a portion of the gland 230 located within the annular receiving cavity 211 and elastically abutting against the elastic packing 220. A storage cavity 201 is formed between the gland 230 and the oil seal assembly 300.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the two opposite sides of the elastic packing 220 abut against the gland 230 and the stuffing box 210 respectively, so that the gland 230 and the stuffing box 210 squeeze the elastic packing 220 in the circumferential direction of the rotary support end 100, thereby causing the elastic packing 220 to deform radially along the rotary support end 100 and seal the gap between the stuffing box 210 and the rotary support end 100.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the packing seal assembly 200 further includes an adjusting ring 240, which is fitted onto the rotary support end 100. The adjusting ring 240 is located within the annular receiving cavity 211, and the gland 230 elastically abuts against the elastic packing 220 via the adjusting ring 240. In this embodiment, by replacing the adjusting ring 240 with one of different thicknesses, the gland 230 abuts against the elastic packing 220 via the adjusting ring 240, thus improving the versatility of the gland 230.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the sealing device 10c further includes an air seal assembly 600, which is fixedly connected to the packing seal assembly 200, and the air outlet of the air seal assembly 600 is connected to the annular receiving cavity 211.

[0064] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the air seal assembly 600 includes a partition ring 610 and an air inlet 620. The partition ring 610 is fitted onto the rotary support end 100 and is located within the annular receiving cavity 211. The two opposite sides of the partition ring 610 elastically abut against the elastic packing 220 to prevent the partition ring 610 from damaging the sealing effect of the elastic packing 220 and to divide the elastic packing 220 into a first packing and a second packing. The partition ring 610 has an annular air seal channel 6101, which is positioned opposite to the outer surface of the rotary support end 100. The air inlet 620 is fixedly connected to the stuffing box 210, which has a clearance hole 212. The air outlet of the air inlet 620, the clearance hole 212, and the annular air seal channel 6101 are sequentially connected.

[0065] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, when the rotary kiln 10 is operating, the air inlet 620 introduces sealing gas, which then enters the annular gas seal channel 6101 after passing through the air outlet end and the clearance hole 212 of the air inlet 620. At this time, the sealing gas surrounds the rotary support end 100 and blocks dust and furnace gas, forming a gas seal between the stuffing box 210 and the rotary support end 100 to prevent dust and furnace gas from leaking out. Moreover, the gas in the annular gas seal channel 6101 also compresses the elastic packing 220, improving the sealing effect of the elastic packing 220. Furthermore, when the double seal of the elastic packing 220 and the gas seal assembly 600 fails, the first sealing structure 400 comes into play.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the air intake 620 includes a cover 621 and an air intake pipe 622. The cover 621 is fixedly connected to the stuffing box 210 and covers the clearance hole 212. The air intake pipe 622 is fixedly connected to the cover 621, and the air intake pipe 622, the cover 621, the clearance hole 212, and the annular gas seal channel 6101 are sequentially connected. In this embodiment, the cover 621 covers the clearance hole 212 to prevent the sealing gas from leaking through the clearance hole 212.

[0067] like Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the partition ring 610 includes a first abutting portion 611, a second abutting portion 612, and a connecting portion 613, all located in the annular receiving cavity 211. The connecting portion 613 is located between the first abutting portion 611 and the second abutting portion 612, and is fixedly connected to the first abutting portion 611 and the second abutting portion 612 respectively. An annular air seal channel 6101 is opened in the connecting portion 613. The first abutting portion 611 and the second abutting portion 612 elastically abut against the elastic packing 220 respectively, so that the partition ring 610 divides the elastic packing 220 into a first packing and a second packing, so that the first packing, the air seal assembly 600, and the second packing sequentially perform a sealing function.

[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, there is a gap between the first abutment portion 611 and the rotary support end 100, allowing gas in the annular gas seal channel 6101 to enter between the first abutment portion 611 and the rotary support end 100. There is also a gap between the second abutment portion 612 and the rotary support end 100, allowing gas in the annular gas seal channel to enter between the second abutment portion 612 and the rotary support end 100. This increases the contact area between the gas and the rotary support end, thereby increasing the gas seal area and thus improving the gas seal effect.

[0069] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting part 613 is located in the middle of the first abutting part 611 and the connecting part 613 is located in the middle of the second abutting part 612, so that the cantilever torque of the first abutting part 611 and the second abutting part 612 is smaller, thereby improving the service life of the first abutting part 611 and the second abutting part 612.

[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the oil seal assembly 300 includes a sealing ring 310 and a blocking member 320. The sealing ring 310 is used to fit onto the rotary support end 100. The sealing ring 310 is fixedly connected to the packing seal assembly 200. An oil seal groove 311 is provided on the inner side of the sealing ring 310, that is, an oil seal groove 311 is provided on the side of the sealing ring 310 facing the rotary support end 100. The oil seal groove 311 contains lubricating oil. The blocking member 320 includes a first connecting ring 321 and a sealing protrusion structure 322. The first connecting ring 321 is used to be sleeved on the rotary support end 100. There is a gap between the side of the first connecting ring 321 adjacent to the packing seal assembly 200 and the sealing ring 310. At least two sealing protrusion structures 322 are fixedly connected to the outside of the first connecting ring 321. At least two sealing protrusion structures 322 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the first connecting ring 321. Each sealing protrusion structure 322 is located in the oil seal groove 311 and elastically abuts against the sealing ring 310. Each sealing protrusion structure 322 is an annular structure.

[0071] like Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, when the packing seal assembly 200 and the first sealing structure 400 fail, dust and gas will enter the oil seal groove 311. Since each sealing protrusion 322 elastically abuts against the sealing ring 310, each sealing protrusion 322 can prevent further flow of dust and gas. Multiple sealing protrusions 322 form multiple sealing defenses. In addition, the oil seal groove 311 contains lubricating oil, which also helps to prevent the continued flow of dust and gas, effectively preventing the continued flow of dust and gas. Furthermore, the lubricating oil provides lubrication, reducing the friction between each sealing protrusion 322 and the sealing ring 310, and extending the service life of the oil seal assembly 300.

[0072] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the blocking member 320 further includes a second connecting ring 323, which is used to fit onto the rotary support end 100. The second connecting ring 323 is fixedly connected to the first connecting ring 321 and is located on the side of the sealing ring 310 opposite to the packing seal assembly 200. The oil seal assembly 300 also includes a clamp 330, which is engaged with the outer side of the second connecting ring 323 to fix the blocking member 320 onto the rotary support end 100. In this embodiment, the clamp 330 is an elastic annular ring. The clamp 330 is engaged with the outer side of the second connecting ring 323 to tighten the second connecting ring 323 onto the rotary support end 100, thereby fixing the blocking member 320 onto the rotary support end 100.

[0073] like Figure 5 As shown, a snap-fit ​​groove 3231 is provided on the outer side of the second connecting ring 323, and part of the clamp 330 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 3231, which improves the connection stability between the clamp 330 and the second connecting ring 323.

[0074] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, each sealing protrusion structure 322, the first connecting ring 321 and the second connecting ring 323 are integrally formed structures to improve the strength and sealing effect of the blocking member 320.

[0075] like Figure 5 As shown, the blocking member 320 also includes a shaping member 324, with the first connecting ring 321 and the second connecting ring 323 covering and connected to the shaping member 324. In this embodiment, the shaping member 324 is a rigid structure, such as steel. Since the first connecting ring 321 and the second connecting ring 323 are covered and connected to the shaping member 324, the deformation of the first connecting ring 321 and the second connecting ring 323 is suppressed, resulting in higher positional stability of the blocking member 320. This ensures that each sealing protrusion structure 322 remains in a predetermined position for sealing, thereby improving the sealing effect of each sealing protrusion structure 322.

[0076] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, there are two sealing protrusion structures 322. The two sealing protrusion structures 322 are fixedly connected to the outside of the first connecting ring 321. The two sealing protrusion structures 322 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the first connecting ring 321. Each sealing protrusion structure 322 is located in the oil seal groove 311, and the two sealing protrusion structures 322 elastically abut against the two inner walls of the oil seal groove 311.

[0077] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, each sealing protrusion 322 is an annular structure, and each sealing protrusion 322 has a first sealing portion 3221 and a second sealing portion 3222. Both the first sealing portion 3221 and the second sealing portion 3222 are annular structures and are arranged to surround the rotary support end 100. An angle is formed between the first sealing portion 3221 and the second sealing portion 3222. Both the first sealing portion 3221 and the second sealing portion 3222 are located within the oil seal groove 311 and elastically abut against the inner wall of the oil seal groove 311, so that the first sealing portion 3221 and the second sealing portion 3222 are used for sealing. In this embodiment, each sealing protrusion 322 has a first sealing portion 3221 and a second sealing portion 3222, both of which are used for sealing, so that each sealing protrusion 322 has two sealing structures, improving the sealing effect of each sealing protrusion 322.

[0078] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the sealing device 10c further includes a first fastening component 700, through which the stuffing box 210 is fixedly connected to the sealing cap 10b.

[0079] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the stuffing box 210 has a first connecting hole, and the sealing cap 10b has a second connecting hole. The first fastening assembly 700 includes a first threaded fastener 710 and a first nut 720. The first threaded fastener 710 passes through the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole, and the first end of the first threaded fastener 710 abuts against one side of the stuffing box 210. The first nut 720 is threadedly connected to the second end of the first threaded fastener 710. The first nut 720 also abuts against one side of the sealing cap 10b away from the stuffing box 210, so that the first threaded fastener 710 and the first nut 720 together fix the stuffing box 210 and the sealing cap 10b in a fixed connection.

[0080] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the sealing device 10c further includes a second fastening assembly 800, through which the sealing ring 310, the gland 230 and the stuffing box 210 are sequentially fixedly connected.

[0081] like Figure 3 As shown, the second fastening assembly 800 includes a double-ended stud 810, a second nut 820, and a third nut 830. The sealing ring 310 has a third connecting hole, the gland 230 has a fourth connecting hole, and the stuffing box 210 has a fifth connecting hole. The double-ended stud 810 passes through the third, fourth, and fifth connecting holes sequentially. The second nut 820 is threaded to the first end of the double-ended stud 810 and abuts against the sealing ring 310. The third nut 830 is threaded to the second end of the double-ended stud 810 and abuts against the stuffing box 210, thus securing the sealing ring 310, gland 230, and stuffing box 210 sequentially.

[0082] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, during the operation of the rotary kiln, dust and gas inside the furnace body 10a enter the gap between the sealing cover 10b and the slewing bearing end 100. Under the action of the elastic packing 220, they are blocked within the furnace body 10a. The annular air seal channel 6101 allows an air seal to be formed between the stuffing box 210 and the slewing bearing end 100. Simultaneously, the gas input through the air inlet pipe 622 can compress the elastic packing 220 along the axial direction of the stuffing box 210, causing the elastic packing 220 to... Deformation occurs, thus ensuring a good dynamic seal between the slewing bearing end 100 and the elastic packing 220; when the double seal composed of the elastic packing 220 and the gas seal fails due to the deflection and misalignment of the rotary kiln, dust and gas in the furnace body 10a will enter the gap between the pressure cover 230 and the slewing bearing end 100 through the gap created between the elastic packing 220 and the slewing bearing end 100, and the packing 410 will prevent the dust and gas from continuing to flow outward; when the packing After the seal between 410 and the gland 230 fails and a gap is created, the sealing ring 420 can, to some extent, prevent dust and gas from flowing outward. If the sealing ring 420 fails, dust and gas will enter the storage chamber 201, where the dust can be temporarily stored. External air will not enter the furnace body 10a, ensuring the furnace atmosphere. When the storage chamber 201 is full, as the furnace body 10a rotates continuously, dust and gas will continuously compress the packing 4. 10. This causes a gap to form between the packing 410 and the sealing ring 310. At this time, dust and gas will enter the oil seal groove 311 through this gap. Under the action of each sealing protrusion structure 322, it is prevented from flowing further. The design of multiple sealing protrusion structures 322 can form multiple sealing defenses, effectively preventing dust and gas leakage. Similarly, when the seal between the packing 410 and the slewing bearing end 310 fails and a gap is generated, the sealing protrusion structure 322 can also prevent dust and gas leakage.

[0083] The above-mentioned one or more technical solutions have at least the following advantages:

[0084] During the operation of the rotary kiln 10, the aforementioned sealing device 10c seals the rotary support end 100 of the furnace body 10a with the packing sealing assembly 200, i.e., the packing sealing assembly 200 blocks the flow of dust and gas. When the seal of the packing sealing assembly 200 fails, the first sealing structure 400 seals the rotary support end 100. When the seal between the first sealing structure 400 and the packing sealing assembly 200 fails, the storage chamber 201 is used to temporarily store dust and gas. At this time, the second sealing structure 500 is also used to prevent dust and gas from leaking out, while preventing external impurities from entering the storage chamber 201. When the seal between the first sealing structure 400 and the oil seal assembly 300 fails, the oil seal assembly 300 is used to prevent dust and gas from leaking out. In this way, the sealing effect of the sealing device 10c is improved by the joint blocking of dust and gas leakage by the packing sealing assembly 200, the first sealing structure 400, the storage chamber 201, the second sealing structure 500 and the oil seal assembly 300, thus avoiding the problem of powder leakage and gas leakage. At the same time, it also avoids the problem of external gas impurities entering the storage chamber 201, thereby preventing the problem of external gas impurities entering the furnace.
