Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of polypropylene devices, in particular to a sealing structure for protecting a floating end bearing of a reaction stirrer of a polypropylene device. Background Art

[0002] In the gas phase polypropylene production process, the reaction agitator is the core equipment of the gas phase polypropylene device. One end of the main shaft of the reaction agitator is connected to the reduction box, and the other end is supported by the floating end bearing for rotation. The floating end bearing is installed on the floating end bearing seat inside the floating end head of the reaction agitator. Under normal circumstances, the floating end bearing and the reaction zone are isolated and sealed by a partition, and the powder in the reaction zone is isolated from the floating end bearing, and the operation of the floating end bearing is not affected. However, as the reaction agitator is used for a long time, the partition seal will be worn to a certain extent, and the powder in the reaction zone will leak to the floating end side and enter the floating end bearing through the seal of the floating end bearing seat. The powder that enters will not only cause the lubrication failure of the floating end bearing, but may also cause the floating end bearing to wear, thereby greatly shortening the service life of the floating end bearing. Taking the horizontal reaction agitator model WN 009100-03 produced by COKE ENGINEERING NV as an example, the period of floating end bearing failure caused by powder leakage in the reaction zone is basically maintained at 10 to 12 months. Summary of the invention
