Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of mechanical transmission and sealing, and specifically relates to a high-speed shaft system with air-assisted sealing that does not require an external air source. The principle of the air-assisted sealing can be applied to the sealing design of high-speed shaft systems such as gear shafts and rotating main shafts. Background Art

[0002] In order to achieve excellent rotor dynamics characteristics when designing a high-speed shaft system, it is often necessary to place the center of gravity of the shaft head external mount as close to the support bearing as possible, so that the support bearing and rotor shaft combination can have higher stiffness characteristics, thereby obtaining a higher critical speed and operating stability. However, placing the bearing as close to the center of gravity of the shaft head external mount as possible means that the bearing seal is closer to structures such as the rotor shaft head flange, compressing the seal design space, and structures such as the connecting bolts at the shaft head flange will cause a wind stirring effect, further causing a pressure difference on both sides of the high-speed seal, increasing the design difficulty of the high-speed seal.

[0003] At present, common high-speed seals include contact seals and non-contact seals. Contact seals can achieve better sealing effects and have advantages such as small leakage, but due to the contact sealing form, there will be friction and heat, which will affect the reliability of the rotor shaft operation. In addition, contact seals are life parts, and their sealing limit linear speed is limited by the sealing material. The current maximum application limit speed is about 50m / s. At the same time, the operating temperature is also limited by the sealing material, and its application in low and high temperature environments is limited; non-contact seals have almost no restrictions on their operating temperature and sealing life due to their non-contact sealing principle. Generally, non-contact seals with strict leakage requirements often need to introduce air film or liquid film to achieve better sealing effects, and need to add auxiliary air supply equipment, which increases the cost of use and reduces equipment maintainability.

[0004] High-speed shafting with conventional non-contact sealing design can meet the sealing requirements when the speed is relatively low, but with the increase of the linear speed at the rotor seal, the connecting bolts at the shaft head flange and other structures will cause the wind stirring effect to increase, and the pressure difference on both sides of the high-speed seal will increase the sealing difficulty. For example, in aircraft engines, in order to improve the sealing of each bearing cavity, it is often necessary to equip an air system to bleed air to the bearing cavity seal; in addition, there are non-contact sealing structures such as spiral seals, which generate airflow through the sealing structure itself to improve the sealing effect, but the spiral seal cannot adapt to bidirectional rotation; Chinese patent No. CN114198485B, published on July 9, 2024, "A high-speed shafting with centrifugal auxiliary seal", sets an air channel on the shaft, and assists the oil return at the seal through the pressure difference caused by the operation of the rotor itself. Compared with conventional air-bleeding non-contact seals, it reduces the use cost of the equipment and improves the sealing effect, but processing complex channels on the high-speed rotor shaft increases the difficulty of rotor processing on the one hand, and affects the torsional strength of the shaft on the other hand, and easily causes rotor imbalance. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the design on this basis and develop a high-speed shaft system with simple processing and design processability and air-assisted sealing that does not require an external air source.

[0034] Specific implementation method 1: A high-speed shaft system with air-assisted sealing that does not require an external air source, comprising a stationary structure assembly 10, a high-speed rotor assembly 20 and two air ducts 30;

[0035] A cavity is provided in the middle of the stationary structure component 10, and two air ducts 30 are symmetrically fixed in the cavity front and back. A channel 30-1 of each air duct 30 is also connected to the outside of the stationary structure component 10. Both the front and rear ends of the high-speed rotor component 20 are connected to the stationary structure component 10, and the wind stirring end of the high-speed rotor component 20 is located between the two air ducts 30.

[0036] In this embodiment: the end of channel one is close to the stirring end of the high-speed rotor assembly, the stirring end has a high linear velocity, and has a strong stirring centrifugal effect on the nearby air, thereby forming a negative pressure zone in zone IV, and the oil-gas mixture is thrown back into the stationary structure assembly.

[0037] Specific embodiment 2: A high-speed shaft system with air-assisted sealing that does not require an external air source, the high-speed rotor assembly 20 includes a gear shaft 21, a rear fulcrum bearing locking nut assembly 25, a shaft head flange 26, a shaft head flange locking nut 27 and two sets of bearing structures;

[0038] A gear is installed in the middle of the gear shaft 21, and a plurality of wind stirring ends 22 are provided on the gear spokes. The wind stirring ends 22 are convex structures or concave structures provided on the gear spokes, and the wind stirring ends 22 face the outlet of the air duct 30;

[0039] The front end of the gear shaft 21 passes through a set of bearing assemblies and the shaft head flange 26 in sequence and is fixed to the shaft head flange locking nut 27. The rear end of the gear shaft 21 passes through another set of bearing assemblies and is fixed to the rear fulcrum bearing locking nut 25. The two sets of bearing assemblies are used to support the gear shaft 21 to rotate along the two sets of bearing assemblies.

[0040] In this embodiment: the end of channel one is close to the wind-stirring structure of the high-speed rotor assembly. Since the linear velocity of the wind-stirring structure is relatively high and the raised and recessed structures have a strong stirring and centrifugal effect on the nearby air, a negative pressure zone is formed in zone IV, and the oil-gas mixture is thrown back into the stationary structure assembly.

[0041] Other implementations are the same as the first specific implementation.

[0042] Specific embodiment 3: A high-speed shaft system with air-assisted sealing that does not require an external air source, the bearing structure includes a bearing inner ring spacer 23 and two main shaft bearings 24;

[0043] The bearing inner ring spacer 23 and the two main shaft bearings 24 are both mounted on the gear shaft 21 , and the bearing inner ring spacer 23 is located between the two main shaft bearings 24 .

[0044] Other implementations are the same as the second specific implementation.

[0045] Specific embodiment 4: A high-speed shaft system with air-assisted sealing that does not require an external air source, the stationary structure assembly 10 includes a gear box 18, a rear pivot bearing bushing 11, a rear pivot bearing outer ring pressure ring 12, a cover 13, a front pivot bearing bushing 15, a front pivot bearing outer ring pressure ring 16 and a non-contact sealing ring 17;

[0046] The front pivot bearing bushing 15 is fixed at the front end of the gear box 18, and the front pivot bearing bushing 15 is sleeved on the outside of the front bearing structure, and the front pivot bearing outer ring pressure ring 16 is arranged in the front pivot bearing bushing 15 and is located in front of the bearing structure, and the non-contact sealing ring 17 is located in front of the front pivot bearing bushing 15 and is close to the front pivot bearing bushing 15, and the rear end convex ring of the non-contact sealing ring 17 presses against the front pivot bearing outer ring pressure ring 16 and is inserted into the front pivot bearing bushing 15; an axial gap and a radial gap are left between the non-contact sealing ring 17 and the shaft head flange 26;

[0047] A second channel 15-1 communicating with the adjacent first channel 30-1 is provided on the upper portion of the front pivot bearing bushing 15, and a third channel 17-1 communicating with the second channel 15-1 is provided on the non-contact sealing ring 17, wherein the outlet end of the third channel 17-1 faces the radial gap between the non-contact sealing ring 17 and the shaft head flange 26;

[0048] The rear pivot bearing bushing 11 and the cover 13 are fixed to the rear end of the gear box 18 in sequence from front to back. The rear pivot bearing bushing 11 is sleeved on the outside of the bearing structure at the rear end. The rear pivot bearing outer ring pressure ring 12 is arranged in the rear pivot bearing bushing 11 and is located behind the bearing structure. The front end convex ring of the cover 13 presses against the rear pivot bearing outer ring pressure ring 12 and is inserted into the rear pivot bearing bushing 11.

[0049] A channel six 11-1 communicating with the adjacent channel one 30-1 is provided on the upper portion of the rear pivot bearing bushing 11, and a channel seven 13-1 communicating with the channel six 11-1 and the outside is provided on the cover 13.

[0050] In this embodiment: the front pivot bearing group near the shaft head flange is restricted in axial movement under the clamping action of the shaft head flange locking nut, the oil throwing ring, and the front pivot bearing outer ring pressure ring, while the rear pivot bearing group as a whole is not axially limited and is in an axially movable state as a whole, thereby adapting to the axial thermal expansion of the high-speed rotor caused by high temperature. The shaft head flange is axially advanced under the clamping force of the shaft head flange locking nut, and a high-precision connection with the gear shaft is achieved through a cone fit. The outer diameter of the shaft head flange is set as a sealing surface, and the non-contact sealing ring forms a reliable non-contact seal with it, and the entire shaft system structure is compact.

[0051] Among them, the distance L2 between the shaft head flange and the nearby bearing group fulcrum and L1 between the shaft head flange and the non-contact sealing ring are important design parameters: the V area between the shaft head flange and the non-contact seal forms a negative pressure area due to centrifugal action. The smaller L1 is, the more severe the centrifugal action is. Excessive L1 will compress the design space of the seal and oil return. In order to increase the critical speed of the high-speed rotor assembly, a reasonable L2 should be controlled. If L2 is too small, the design space of the seal and oil return will be further compressed.

[0052] Other implementations are the same as the third specific implementation.

[0055] In this embodiment: a channel four connecting channel three with the outside world is provided on the non-contact sealing ring for air intake. In order to avoid the negative pressure of zone V offsetting the air intake effect of the air duct, the ventilation air intake hole of the non-contact seal is avoided facing zone V at the non-contact sealing ring.

[0056] The non-contact sealing ring is provided with a channel five connecting the channel three with the outside for air intake.

[0057] Other implementations are the same as the fourth specific implementation.

[0061] The oil droplets generated in channel 2 drip along the oil port 1 to the space between the two bearings for lubrication. The oil droplets generated in channel 6 drip along the oil port 2 to the space between the two bearings for lubrication.

[0062] Other implementations are the same as the fifth specific implementation.

[0063] Specific embodiment 7: A high-speed shaft system with air-assisted sealing that does not require an external air source, a notch 16-2 is provided at the front lower part of the front pivot bearing outer ring pressure ring 16, and a channel 8 15-2 is provided at the lower part of the front pivot bearing bushing 15 to connect the notch 16-2 with the internal space of the gear box 18;

[0064] A notch 12 - 1 is provided at the rear lower portion of the rear fulcrum bearing outer ring pressure ring 12 , and a channel 11 - 2 is provided at the lower portion of the rear fulcrum bearing bushing 11 to connect the notch 12 - 1 with the internal space of the gear box 18 .

[0067] Specific embodiment eight: A high-speed shaft system with air-assisted sealing that does not require an external air source, wherein a channel ten 17-4 connected to the channel nine 11-2 is provided on the non-contact sealing ring 17, and the outlet end of the channel ten 17-4 faces the radial gap between the non-contact sealing ring 17 and the shaft head flange 26.

[0068] In this embodiment: channel ten is used to connect the radial gap between the non-contact sealing ring and the shaft head flange, so that the internal space of the bearing box is connected to the external environment, balancing the internal and external air pressures, and ensuring that the condensed oil droplets can flow from top to bottom.

[0069] Other implementations are the same as the specific implementation method seven.

[0070] Specific embodiment nine: A high-speed shaft system with air-assisted sealing that does not require an external air source, an oil flinger 28 that rotates synchronously with the gear shaft 21 is provided between the shaft head flange 26 and the adjacent bearing assembly, the oil flinger 28 is located in the front fulcrum bearing outer ring pressure ring 16, the front fulcrum bearing outer ring pressure ring 16 has an oil port three 16-1 on the upper part, and the front fulcrum bearing bushing 15 has an oil port four 15-4 that corresponds to the oil port three 28-1 and is connected to the channel two 15-1.

[0074] In this embodiment, the number of holes n and the diameter D are important design parameters. The ventilation cross-section of the induced air duct here cannot be larger than the ventilation cross-section of zones II and III, otherwise the oil and gas extraction effect on the oil return zone will be weakened. In addition, in order to avoid the negative pressure of zone V offsetting the air ducting effect of the induced air duct at the non-contact seal, the ventilation inlet holes of the non-contact seal should avoid facing zone V.

[0075] Working principle: Design ventilation air path on the bearing bushing, and connect the induced draft pipe to the gear spoke with high linear speed of high-speed gear. The gear spoke is provided with raised or recessed features to enhance its centrifugal stirring effect. Therefore, due to the Bernoulli principle, negative pressure is generated at the induced draft pipe, so that the oil-gas mixture in the sealing chamber, oil return chamber, etc. is sucked into the bearing bushing, and led to the gear spoke with high linear speed of high-speed gear, and thrown into the gear box. In order to avoid the reflux of oil and gas after condensation at the induced draft pipe, a small oil return hole is set at the lower part of the induced draft pipe to prevent the reflux of condensed oil and gas. This scheme does not require modification of the mature sealing structure, nor does it require special design of the rotor. The processing and design process are simple, and air-assisted sealing without the introduction of external air source is required, and it can adapt to forward and reverse operation conditions. Compared with conventional induced draft non-contact seals, it reduces the use cost of the equipment and improves the sealing effect. It is a high-speed shaft system with simple processing and design process and air-assisted sealing without external air source.
