AI Technical Summary
When delivering high-temperature carbon black exhaust gas, existing carbon black centrifugal fans are prone to expand the fan shell and increase the shaft gap due to high temperature, resulting in seal leakage. The existing sealing methods are difficult to maintain the sealing effect during high temperature and dynamic balance fluctuations.
A carbon black centrifugal fan shaft end sealing structure is designed, using graphite sealing filler and ceramic sealing air ring, combined with three layers of sealing filler and nitrogen sealing, ensuring that the sealing structure remains tight under high temperature and positive pressure conditions, and by appropriately increasing the gap between the sealing shell and the fan shaft, reducing the impact of dynamic balance fluctuations on the seal.
It achieves tight sealing under high temperature and positive pressure conditions, reduces the number of maintenance times, extends the maintenance cycle, and facilitates disassembly and assembles through the upper and lower structures, improving the reliability and service life of the sealing structure.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of centrifugal fans, and in particular to a shaft end sealing structure of a carbon black centrifugal fan. Background Art
[0002] When producing carbon black, centrifugal fans are required to transport carbon black materials and exhaust gas generated during the production process. The following problems arise in the process of transporting carbon black exhaust gas: Because carbon black exhaust gas has high temperature, is transported under positive pressure, and is a toxic and flammable gas, carbon black exhaust gas is subject to key environmental supervision and there are strict requirements on the amount of exhaust gas leakage.
[0003] At present, centrifugal fans are mostly used to transport exhaust gas. The structure of centrifugal fans is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, when a centrifugal fan is used to transport exhaust gas, the high temperature often causes the overall expansion of the fan casing and the increase in the gap between the fan shaft, which is prone to leakage. At present, the methods to solve this problem mainly include the following. Packing seal: It can adapt to the dynamic balance fluctuation and high temperature of the fan. Since the packing seal has only two layers of packing, it needs to be maintained by maintenance personnel every day, and it is easy to have excessive leakage due to poor sealing during use. This type of seal is inconvenient to disassemble. Labyrinth seal: It can adapt to high temperatures and achieve leakage standards under positive pressure conditions, but this type of seal is easily damaged when encountering dynamic balance fluctuations. Air ring seal: It can adapt to high temperatures and achieve leakage standards under positive pressure conditions, but this type of seal is easily damaged when encountering dynamic balance fluctuations.
