Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical assembly, and in particular to an assembly method for a high-speed gear box mechanical seal. Background Art

[0002] Mechanical seal is a rotary axial end face dynamic sealing device. It often uses the pre-tightening of elastic parts or the pressure of the medium to press the end face of the rotary seal ring against the end face of the stationary seal ring, generating an appropriate specific pressure between the contact friction pairs of the dynamic and static ring ends, and forming a very thin liquid film under the action of lubricating oil to achieve the sealing effect. It has the advantages of less leakage, good sealing effect, long service life, and wide application range (reliable sealing performance under high temperature, high pressure, and high speed conditions). It is widely used in high-speed gearboxes, centrifuges, compressors, reactors and other equipment. In high-speed gearboxes, mechanical seals are mainly composed of rotary seal rings, stationary seal rings, stationary seal ring seats, multiple compression springs, spring seats, dynamic and static ring auxiliary O-rings, and limit retaining rings. In the existing assembly technology, on the one hand, due to the installation errors of the dynamic and static rings, the different stiffness coefficients and height dimensions of multiple compression springs, the differences in the spring installation inner holes (spring seat inner holes) and other factors, the cumulative installation errors are large. On the other hand, the working pressure between the mechanical seals is indirectly calculated by measuring the compression amount of the mechanical seal compression spring before and after installation and the stiffness coefficient value marked on the drawing. Due to the differences in the stiffness coefficients of each compression spring and the existence of measurement errors and cumulative errors, it is difficult to accurately judge the working pressure of the mechanical seal after installation. In addition, the conventional assembly process route is not only complicated, but also has large measurement errors and cumulative errors, which greatly reduces the assembly accuracy of the mechanical seal and is prone to the risk and hidden danger of oil leakage after assembly.

An O-ring 11 is installed on the outer circle of the other end of the stationary sealing ring seat 3 to obtain a stationary sealing ring assembly, and the sealing performance of the stationary sealing ring assembly is tested to be qualified; here, the sealing effect of the O-ring 11 and the sealing performance between the stationary sealing ring 2 and the stationary sealing ring seat 3 need to be tested, and the next step is entered after the test is qualified; (3) Install the distance ring 8, the rotating sealing ring 1 and the stationary sealing ring assembly on the rotating shaft 9, check whether the contact spot K1 on the contact surface between the rotating sealing ring 1 and the distance ring 8 meets the requirements, and check whether the contact spot K2 on the contact surface between the rotating sealing ring 1 and the stationary sealing ring 2 meets the requirements; (4) Axially limit the rotating seal ring 1, and check the runout value of the contact surface K2 on the rotating seal ring 1 with the outer mounting surface of the fixed cover 10 as the reference to see if it is qualified, and then check the runout value of the outer mounting surface of the fixed cover 10 with the rotating shaft 9 as the reference to see if it is qualified; (5) Install N compression springs 4 in spring holes evenly spaced around the center line of the spring seat 6 on the spring seat 6, and test the compression amount of each compression spring 4 according to the design pressure required by the mechanical seal to ensure that it is qualified; (6) Install the rotating sealing ring, stationary sealing ring, stationary sealing ring seat, compression spring, spring seat and distance ring on the rotating shaft as required; (7) Apply a force along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 9 to the spring seat 6. The force is the same as the design pressure required by the mechanical seal and satisfies the corresponding compression amount of each compression spring 4. Measure the distance L between the mounting surface of the spring seat 6 and the outer mounting surface of the fixed box cover 10 in this state. Select an adjustment gasket 7 with a corresponding thickness according to the distance L to meet the requirement. Install the adjustment gasket 7 at the position between the mounting surface of the spring seat 6 and the outer mounting surface of the fixed box cover 10.

The next step can be entered only after the test is qualified. First, install the stationary sealing ring seat 3 into the bottom hole, and then put the stationary sealing ring seat 3 and the lower top plate 14 into the heating box for overall heating. The heating temperature is calculated based on the maximum interference between the stationary sealing ring 2 and the stationary sealing ring seat 3 and the minimum clearance required for baking. The heating time and the insulation time are estimated based on the thickness of the stationary sealing ring seat 3. Generally, for every 10mm of thickness, the heating time is 10-15min, and for every 40mm of thickness, the insulation time is 10-15min. After the heating is completed, quickly install the stationary sealing ring 2 into the inner hole of the stationary sealing ring seat 3, make it close to the inner hole shoulder, and then quickly fasten it to the lower top plate 14 with the upper top plate 13 and the tension bolts 16 to prevent the stationary sealing ring seat 3 from serious shrinkage during the cooling process and reduce the assembly error. Remove it after cooling to room temperature. After aligning the outer circle of the stationary sealing ring 2 and its end face runout ≤0.01mm, process the end face of the stationary sealing ring 2 according to the assembly diagram of the stationary sealing ring assembly, and the end face is not allowed to have quality defects such as cracks, inclusions, and damage.

When the number N of the compression springs 4 is an even number, the number of the spring holes at the second reference position is one and the center thereof is located on the reference symmetry line AA. When the number N of the compression springs 4 is an odd number, the number of the spring holes at the second reference position is two and the centers thereof are symmetrically arranged about the reference symmetry line AA. The compression springs 4 at the second reference position are arranged so as to ensure that the difference in the distance from the spring end surface of the compression spring 4 at the first reference position is not greater than 0.1 mm.
