Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of tail shaft sealing, in particular to a compressed air sealing device for a ship's tail shaft. Background Art
[0002] The stern shaft, also known as the tail shaft, is the last section of the shaft system. The head end flange and the intermediate shaft flange are connected with tight bolts; the tail end is conical and used to install the propeller. The stern shaft is forged with high-quality carbon steel. Ocean-going ships are equipped with tail shaft sealing devices to prevent overboard water from flowing into the ship along the propeller shaft and lubricating oil from leaking out of the ship. The main shaft seal of the ship's rear transmission system is a special type of seal, which is characterized by a large shaft tube diameter and large lateral and axial vibrations. The seal is required to have automatic centering capabilities and vibration followability; the tail shaft works in seawater or river water environments. Seawater is severely corrosive, and the river water contains silt, which has an adverse effect on the seal; for oil-lubricated tail shaft seals, it is necessary to prevent lubricating oil from leaking out of the hull and polluting the marine environment, and to prevent seawater or river water from entering the tail shaft system, and to perform bidirectional sealing. There are three main types of tail shaft sealing devices: water-lubricated sealing devices, oil-lubricated sealing devices, and air sealing devices.
[0003] In the existing compressed air sealing device for the tail shaft of a ship, the tail shaft will synchronously drive the bushing to rotate when it rotates, which will cause certain wear to the sealing ring during long-term use. Therefore, in order to avoid leakage of sealing oil from the worn part of the sealing ring, the sealing ring needs to be replaced. However, the installation structure between the existing bushing and the outer shaft body is relatively complicated, which makes it difficult to remove the sealing ring and reduces the efficiency of replacing the sealing ring.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The utility model is further described in detail below:
[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model provides a compressed air sealing device for a ship's tail shaft, comprising a tail shaft 1 and a shaft sleeve 2, wherein the tail shaft 1 is movably mounted on the inner side of the shaft sleeve 2, a sealing ring 3 located inside the shaft sleeve 2 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the tail shaft 1, a connecting bolt 4 is movably mounted on one side of the shaft sleeve 2, the shaft sleeve 2 comprises an outer shell 1 21 and an outer shell 2 22, fixing convex strips 23 are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the inner sides of the outer shell 1 21 and the outer shell 2 22, fixing bolts 1 24 are threadedly mounted on the outer side of the fixing convex strip 23, a sealing edge strip 25 is fixedly clamped on the inner side of the outer shell 2 22, and an alignment strip 26 is arranged on the inner side of the outer shell 2 22.
[0024] It is divided into an outer shell 1 21 and an outer shell 2 22 by the shaft sleeve 2, and is docked with the outer shell 1 21 through the sealing edge strip 25 and the alignment strip 26 on the inner side of the outer shell 22, and the outer shell 1 21 and the outer shell 2 22 are connected by the fixing bolt 1 24 passing through the fixing convex strip 23, and are installed in the installation groove 27 by using the fixing ring 28 and the fixing bolt 29 to ensure the firmness of the fixation, and at the same time, it is convenient for the outer shell 1 21 and the outer shell 2 22 to be separated and disassembled, so as to facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the sealing ring 3, and further improve the efficiency of the staff in replacing the sealing ring 3. At the same time, the oil pipe 6, the water pumping pipe 7, the water volume sensing mechanism 8 and the air pipe 5 arranged inside the installation cavity 211, and the compressed air is used to increase the pressure inside the air cavity between the water cavity and the oil cavity to prevent the penetration of seawater and oil, and the water volume sensing mechanism 8 and the water pumping pipe 7 are used to extract the seawater in the water cavity to ensure the sealing effect.
[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer shell 1 21 and the outer shell 2 22 are provided with an installation cavity 211 , and the air pipe 5 , the oil pipe 6 , the water pumping pipe 7 and the water volume sensing mechanism 8 are fixedly installed in the installation cavity 211 .
[0026] The air pipe 5 is arranged inside the air cavity to separate the water cavity and the oil cavity. The air pressure inside the air cavity is increased by the air compressor through the air pipe 5 to squeeze the infiltrated seawater outward, while avoiding the infiltration of the oil cavity. The water volume sensing mechanism 8 and the water pumping pipe 7 are used to detect the amount of seawater in the water cavity and pump water to ensure the sealing effect.
[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the front sides of the outer shell 1 21 and the outer shell 2 22 are both provided with mounting grooves 27 , the interior of the mounting grooves 27 is fixedly clamped with a fixing ring 28 , and the outer side of the fixing ring 28 is movably mounted with fixing bolts 29 located in the outer shell 1 21 and the outer shell 2 22 .
[0028] The second fixing bolts 29 are arranged in a ring shape and installed on the outside of the fixing ring 28 .
[0029] The fixing ring 28 is clamped in the inside of the installation groove 27 and is fixedly installed in the outer shell 1 21 and the outer shell 2 22 in a ring shape from the outside by the fixing bolt 2 29 to strengthen the tightness of the connection between the outer shell 1 21 and the outer shell 2 22 and improve the sealing effect.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, four sealing rings 3 are equidistantly arranged along the direction of the tail shaft 1 , and the four sealing rings 3 are sequentially divided into a water chamber, an air chamber and an oil chamber from the outside to the inside.
[0031] The air pipe 5 is connected to the inside of the air cavity, the water pumping pipe 7 and the water volume sensing mechanism 8 are arranged in the water cavity, and the oil pipe 6 is arranged in the inside of the oil cavity.
[0032] By means of the oil pipe 6, the water extraction pipe 7, the water level sensing mechanism 8 and the air pipe 5 arranged inside the installation cavity 211, the pressure inside the air cavity between the water cavity and the oil cavity is increased by using compressed air to prevent the penetration of seawater and oil, and the water level sensing mechanism 8 and the water extraction pipe 7 are used to extract the seawater in the water cavity to ensure the sealing effect.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the inner side of the outer shell 21 is provided with grooves corresponding to the sealing edge strip 25 and the alignment strip 26 , and the sealing edge strip 25 is arranged on the outer side of the alignment strip 26 .
[0034] The sealing ring 3 and the shaft sleeve 2 are rotatably arranged.
[0035] Through the grooves on the inner side of the outer shell 1 21 corresponding to the sealing edge strip 25 and the alignment strip 26, it is ensured that the outer shell 1 21 and the outer shell 2 22 are tightly connected to ensure the tightness of the connection.
[0036] The working principle of the compressed air sealing device of the ship's tail shaft is described in detail below.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the shaft sleeve 2 is installed at the specified position by using the connecting bolts 4, and the tail shaft 1 is located inside the shaft sleeve 2. When the sealing ring 3 needs to be maintained, the fixing bolts 29 connected to the inside of the outer shell 1 21 and the outer shell 2 22 are first disassembled from the front side of the outer shell 1 21 and the outer shell 2 22 to remove the fixing ring 28 located in the installation groove 27 of the sealing arrangement, and the fixing bolts 1 24 connected to the inside of the outer shell 2 22 are disassembled from the side of the outer shell 1 21 to make the sealing edge strip 25 and the alignment strip 26 detach from the groove inside the outer shell 1 21, so that the outer shell 1 21 and the outer shell 2 22 are separated, so that the outer shell 1 21 and the outer shell 2 22 are located in the outer shell 1 21. The sealing ring 3 inside the body 1 21 and the outer shell 2 22 is exposed, which is convenient for replacing the sealing ring 3. It is relatively simple and there are no complicated operating steps, which improves the efficiency of the staff in maintaining and replacing the sealing ring 3. At the same time, through the air pipe 5, oil pipe 6, water pumping pipe 7, and water volume sensing mechanism 8 arranged inside the installation cavity 211, the air pipe 5 is connected to the air compressor, and the oil pipe 6 is connected to the oil supply mechanism. The air compressor compresses the air in the air cavity formed between the sealing rings 3 and located on the inner side of the water cavity to increase the pressure in the air cavity, so that the seawater that penetrates into the water cavity is squeezed to the outside for sealing, and at the same time, the oil cavity is prevented from penetrating into the air cavity.
[0038] The above generally describes the present invention in detail, but it is obvious to a person skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements can be made to the present invention. Therefore, modifications or improvements that do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
