Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tail shaft sealing, in particular to a tail shaft sealing device with a leakage alarm function. 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-fitting bolts. The tail end is conical in shape and is used to install the propeller. The stern shaft is forged with high-quality carbon steel. The ship's tail shaft sealing device is one of the important components of the ship's shaft system. In the sealing device of the existing technology, the main part used for waterproofing is the sealing ring, but the sealing ring is mostly made of rubber, which is prone to aging after long-term use. Seawater will penetrate into the interior of the ship's tail shaft, affecting the normal operation of the ship.

[0003] After searching the existing public patent number: CN202123335103.8, the public patent name is: A ship tail shaft sealing device, specifically relating to the technical field of sealing devices, including a first cover, a first sealing ring is provided at the bottom end of the interior of the first cover, the first sealing ring is fixedly arranged inside the first cover, a water stop strip is provided on the top of the first sealing ring, the water stop strip is fixedly arranged inside the first cover, an annular groove is provided at the bottom of the outer end of the first cover, and a plurality of plug rods are inserted into the interior of the first cover. The utility model installs a water stop strip on the top of the first sealing ring. Once the first sealing ring ages and seawater seeps in, the water stop strip will absorb water and expand to block the seawater and also push the plug rod to move so that it contacts the buzzer, so that the buzzer can be triggered by touching the switch, and the buzzer will sound an alarm to remind the workers to replace the new first sealing ring in time to ensure the normal operation of the ship.

[0004] However, when the ship tail shaft sealing device in the above application is used, the sealing ring ages and water enters, which often makes it impossible to repair it immediately. The sealing is poor and there is still a risk of water entering. Because high pressure and high-speed rotation generate heat, the internal sealing elements are thermally deformed, and the internal high temperature cannot be dissipated, which can easily cause damage to the tail shaft. Therefore, there are certain limitations. Utility Model Content

[0006] In response to the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a tail shaft sealing device with a leakage alarm function, which solves the problem that there is less sealing, there is still a risk of water ingress, and thermal deformation of internal sealing elements affects the sealing.
