Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of mechanical technology, and particularly to a shaft-end isolation device for inhibiting external impurities from entering the equipment body. Background Art

[0002] At present, the shaft-end sealing systems of industrial equipment generally adopt contact-type oil seal structures (such as lip seals), and their sealing principle relies on the interference fit between the sealing lip and the shaft diameter surface to form a dynamic contact interface. However, in the long-term operation process, this solution has significant technical defects: 1. The interface wear is irreversible The continuous friction between the sealing lip and the rotating shaft surface causes fretting wear, which not only causes the elastic failure of the sealing lip, but also forms an annular wear groove with a depth of 0.1 - 0.5 mm at the journal part. Such mechanical damage will destroy the structural integrity of the shaft body, leading to stress concentration and dynamic balance offset problems.

[0003] 2. Harsh working conditions accelerate failure In an operating environment containing solid particles (such as pulp, sludge) or corrosive media (acid / alkaline solutions), the combined action of abrasive wear and chemical corrosion increases the wear rate of the sealing interface by 3 - 5 times, resulting in the sealing failure cycle being shortened to 30% - 50% of that under normal working conditions.

[0004] 3. Poor maintenance economy During maintenance, the oil seal assembly can be conveniently replaced, but the journal surface in cooperation with it is prone to form wear grooves due to continuous friction. Conventional means cannot achieve in-situ repair, and the main shaft assembly worth tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan needs to be replaced as a whole. Frequent shutdown maintenance not only increases the operation and maintenance costs, but also significantly reduces the overall equipment utilization rate, seriously affecting the continuous production efficiency.

Detailed implementation mode

[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "middle", "outer", "inner", "lower", etc. indicating the orientation or position relationship are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus cannot be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , the present invention provides a shaft end isolation device for suppressing external impurities from entering the equipment body, including a connecting seat 01, a main shaft 02, a blocking mechanism 03, and a gland 04. Among them, the connecting seat 01 is arranged on the body, the inside of the connecting seat 01 is hollow and the end away from the body is open.

[0027] Among them, the main shaft 02 is inserted into the body along the axis of the connecting seat 01, and a bearing 09 located in the connecting seat 01 is sleeved on the main shaft 02 to ensure the normal rotation of the main shaft 02. Retaining rings 10 sleeved on the main shaft 02 are arranged on both sides of the bearing 09 to position the bearing 09.

[0028] Among them, the blocking mechanism 03 includes an inner blocking ring 31 and an outer blocking ring 32; the inner blocking ring 31 is built into the connecting seat 01, and the inner blocking ring 31 is press-fitted and sleeved on the main shaft 02, and the outer peripheral wall of the inner blocking ring 31 does not contact the inner wall of the connecting seat 01. The inner blocking ring 31 has a plurality of equally spaced concentric inner annular protrusions 311, and inner annular grooves 312 are formed between adjacent inner annular protrusions 311. The outer blocking ring 32 is press-fitted and built into the connecting seat 01. The outer blocking ring 32 has a plurality of equally spaced concentric outer annular protrusions 321, and outer annular grooves 322 are formed between adjacent outer annular protrusions 321. The inner annular protrusions 311 can be correspondingly inserted into the outer annular grooves 322, and the outer annular protrusions 321 can be correspondingly inserted into the inner annular grooves 312. The outer blocking ring 32 remains stationary, and the inner blocking ring 31 rotates with the main shaft 02, so that a centrifugal effect is formed between the inner blocking ring 31 and the outer blocking ring 32 to prevent external impurities from entering the machine body axially; thus effectively preventing impurities from entering the machine body in relatively harsh places and causing wear.

[0029] Among them, the gland 04 is installed at the open end of the connecting seat 01 to press the outer blocking ring 32. For the installation of the gland 04, a bolt fastening method can be used. To ensure a better sealing effect, a sealing strip is provided between the gland 04 and the outer blocking ring 32.

[0030] In one embodiment, a drain port 05 is radially opened at one end of the connecting seat 01 close to the outer blocking ring 32. When the outer blocking ring 32 remains stationary and the inner blocking ring 31 rotates with the main shaft 02, after a centrifugal effect is formed between the inner blocking ring 31 and the outer blocking ring 32, the entering liquid impurities can be discharged from the drain port 05 under the action of centrifugal force, preventing part of the liquid impurities entering the blocking mechanism 03 from staying for a long time.

[0031] In one embodiment, a gap is left between the end of the inner annular protrusion 311 and the bottom of the outer annular groove 322, and between the outer annular protrusion 321 and the bottom of the inner annular groove 312 to form a buffer cavity 06. When the inner blocking ring 31 rotates with the main shaft 02, a circumferential air flow disturbance can be formed in the buffer cavity 06 to prevent dust impurities from entering.

[0032] In one embodiment, a gap is left between the inner annular protrusion 311 and the outer annular groove 322, and between the outer annular protrusion and the inner annular groove 312 to reduce the relative friction formed between the inner annular protrusion 311 and the outer annular protrusion 321.

[0033] Specifically, a barrier strip 07 that does not contact the outer annular protrusion 321 is provided on the outer wall of the inner annular protrusion 311. Among them, the barrier strip 07 is spiral and evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the inner annular protrusion 311. When the main shaft 02 rotates at a high speed, the barrier strip 07 also rotates at a high speed following the inner barrier ring 31. When the barrier strip 07 rotates at a high speed, it will make the gap between the inner annular protrusion 311 and the outer annular protrusion 321 smaller, so that the air between the inner annular protrusion 311 and the outer annular protrusion 321 forms a stable high-pressure air film under the action of the high-speed rotating inner annular protrusion 311 and the barrier strip 07, thereby blocking liquid and dust impurities and effectively preventing liquid and dust impurities from entering.

[0034] Among them, for the barrier strip 07, a rubber strip material can be selected. During installation, an embedded installation method can be adopted. For example, a spiral groove is opened on the outer wall of the inner annular protrusion 311, and the barrier strip 07 can be embedded into the spiral groove. By adopting the above method, it is easier to disassemble and replace the barrier strip 07 after it is damaged.

[0035] More specifically, an annular baffle 08 is provided at the end of the inner annular protrusion 311. The outer diameter of the baffle 08 is larger than the outer diameter of the inner annular protrusion 311, and the outer circumferential wall of the baffle 08 does not contact the outer annular protrusion 321. The baffle 08 can be fixed to the end of the inner annular protrusion 311 by screws or bolts. The baffle 08 can reduce the gap between the end of the inner annular protrusion 311 and the outer annular protrusion 321. On the one hand, it can block impurities, and on the other hand, it can make it easier to form an air film between the inner annular protrusion 311 and the outer annular protrusion 321.

[0036] The above-disclosed are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. Of course, the scope of rights of the present invention cannot be limited by this. Those of ordinary skill in the art can understand all or part of the processes of implementing the above embodiments, and the equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention still fall within the scope covered by the present invention.
