[0024] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an improved mechanical seal device for a high-speed submersible pump is a double-end mechanical seal, which includes a housing 1, a sleeve 2, a first stationary ring 3, a second stationary ring 4, and a dynamic ring assembly 5. The sleeve 2 is sleeved on the rotating main shaft of the submersible pump. The first stationary ring 3, the second stationary ring 4, and the dynamic ring assembly 5 are surrounded by the housing 1. The dynamic ring assembly 5 includes a first dynamic ring 51, a second dynamic ring 52, an inner sleeve 54, a dynamic ring seat 55, and a first spring 56. The first dynamic ring 51 and the second dynamic ring 52 respectively form a rotating seal pair with the first stationary ring 3 and the second stationary ring 4. The first dynamic ring 51 and the second dynamic ring 52 are respectively connected to the dynamic ring seat 55 through the first spring 56. The first dynamic ring 51, the second dynamic ring 52, and the first spring 56 are respectively installed on the corresponding In the dynamic ring groove, the inner sleeve 54 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the sleeve 2 and connected to the inner circumference of the dynamic ring seat 55. The dynamic ring seat 55 includes a left dynamic ring seat portion and a right dynamic ring seat portion; it is characterized in that: the dynamic ring assembly 5 also includes a first blade 531, a second blade 532, and an outer sleeve 57. The outer circumference of the left dynamic ring seat portion is provided with a first external thread 64, and the outer circumference of the right dynamic ring seat portion is provided with a second external thread 65. The outer sleeve 57 includes a left outer sleeve and a right outer sleeve. A plurality of first blades 531 are evenly arranged on the outer circumference of the corresponding left outer sleeve along the circumferential direction, and a plurality of second blades 532 are evenly arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the corresponding right outer sleeve along the circumferential direction. The left outer sleeve is threadedly connected to the left dynamic ring seat portion through its internal thread, and the right outer sleeve is threadedly connected to the right dynamic ring seat portion through its internal thread.

[0026] Furthermore, the first external thread 64 and the second external thread 65 have opposite rotation directions.

[0027] The dynamic ring assembly 5 further includes a third spring 63 , one end of the third spring 63 is fixedly connected to the left outer sleeve, and the other end is fixedly connected to the right outer sleeve.

[0028] The first blade 531 and the second blade 532 are shaped as spiral and / or inclined arc blades.

[0029] The present invention relates to an improved mechanical seal device for a high-speed submersible pump, wherein the left outer sleeve is threadedly connected to the second outer thread 65 of the left movable ring seat portion through its internal thread, and the right outer sleeve is threadedly connected to the first outer thread 64 of the right movable ring seat portion through its internal thread. The axial spacing G between the first blade 531 and the second blade 532 can be adjusted through the threaded connection, and the circumferential spacing between the first blade 531 and the second blade 532 can be adjusted. Compared with the existing blade 53 (such as Figure 1 As shown), it can more effectively / efficiently promote the flow of coolant in the double-end mechanical seal cavity, making the heat exchange area and flow larger, and having better heat exchange efficiency and cooling effect.

[0030] The first external thread 64 and the second external thread 65 are arranged in opposite directions, which effectively prevents the left and right outer sleeves of the rotating ring assembly 5 from loosening or falling off during rotation. The left and right outer sleeves are connected by a third spring 63, which provides a torsional elastic force, effectively preventing the left and right outer sleeves of the rotating ring assembly 5 from loosening or falling off during rotation.

[0031] In one embodiment, a first axial flow channel 58 is provided on the second dynamic ring 52, and a second axial flow channel 59 and a radial flow channel 60 are provided on the right dynamic ring seat. The coolant flow path is: the mechanical seal cavity above the second dynamic ring 52 → the first axial flow channel 58 → the dynamic ring groove → the second axial flow channel 59 → the radial flow channel 60 → the mechanical seal cavity between the first blade 531 and the second blade 532.

[0032] The present invention can further improve the heat exchange efficiency and cooling effect of each part / component in the double-end mechanical seal cavity by setting the coolant flow path.

[0033] In one embodiment, a valve groove is provided on the right movable ring seat, a second spring 61 is connected to the valve groove, and the other end of the second spring 61 is connected to a spherical valve member 62, which is used to adjust / control the flow area / opening of the second axial flow channel 59.

[0034] As the submersible pump's speed changes, centrifugal force causes the spherical valve member 62 to overcome the spring force of the second spring 61, allowing the second axial flow passage 59 to have varying flow areas and openings. The present invention utilizes the valve assembly to increase the flow area and opening of the second axial flow passage 59 at higher submersible pump speeds, resulting in a correspondingly greater coolant flow rate. The cooling effect can be adjusted accordingly with the pump's speed.

[0035] The left movable ring seat is provided with an identical or symmetrical coolant flow path, a second spring 61 and a spherical valve member 62 .

[0036] There are one or more first axial flow passages 58 , second axial flow passages 59 , and radial flow passages 60 , and there are one or more second springs 61 and spherical valve members 62 .

[0037] The improved mechanical sealing device for a high-speed submersible pump of the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0038] (1) The left outer sleeve is threadedly connected to the second outer thread 65 of the left movable ring seat through its internal thread, and the right outer sleeve is threadedly connected to the first outer thread 64 of the right movable ring seat through its internal thread. The axial spacing G between the first blade 531 and the second blade 532 can be adjusted through the threaded connection, and the circumferential spacing between the first blade 531 and the second blade 532 can be adjusted. Compared with the existing blade 53 (such as Figure 1 (as shown), it can more effectively promote the flow of coolant within the double-end mechanical seal cavity, resulting in a larger heat exchange area and flow rate, and better heat exchange efficiency and cooling effect. The first external thread 64 and the second external thread 65 are arranged in opposite directions of rotation. The left outer sleeve and the right outer sleeve are connected by a third spring 63, which ensures that the left and right outer sleeves of the dynamic ring assembly 5 are better prevented from loosening or falling off during rotation.

[0039] (2) The present invention can further improve the heat exchange efficiency and cooling effect of each part / component within the double-end mechanical seal cavity by configuring the coolant flow path. By configuring the valve assembly, as the submersible pump speed increases, the spherical valve member 62, under the action of centrifugal force, increases the flow area / opening of the second axial flow channel 59, and the corresponding coolant flow rate. The cooling effect can be adjusted accordingly with the pump speed.

[0040] The above-mentioned embodiments are illustrative of the present invention, not limiting thereof. It is understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
