Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sealing device manufacturing, in particular to an air preheater shaft end sealing device. Background Art

[0002] The rotary air preheater is an important heat exchange equipment for thermal power generation units. The traditional air preheater shaft end seal mainly adopts two methods: one is an aluminum sealing device; the other is a packing seal. The aluminum sealing device is two semicircular aluminum plates, the center of which is processed into a circular hole equivalent to the outer diameter of the air preheater bearing. The two semicircular aluminum plates are fixed to the shaft end through a pressure plate, and the main shaft is clamped so that there is no gap between the aluminum plate and the main shaft to achieve a sealing effect. In actual use, due to the rotation of the main shaft, wear occurs between the aluminum plate and the main shaft, and the gap becomes larger and larger, resulting in ash leakage and air leakage. The packing seal mainly presses the graphite packing in the gap between the main shaft and the bearing housing to achieve a sealing effect, but since this type of material has no elasticity, the friction between the main shaft and the main shaft will cause wear on the main shaft surface, thereby generating a gap, which not only damages the main shaft, but also causes ash leakage and air leakage, polluting the on-site environment, increasing the maintenance volume and energy consumption, and reducing the service life of the equipment. In summary, both types of sealing methods cannot achieve a good sealing effect on the bearings in the air preheater. This is mainly because the shaft of the air preheater passes through the bearing, and the ambient temperature of the end cover is around 350°C. If the shaft end is directly sealed, there is currently no elastic seal that can withstand a high temperature of 350°C. Even if it is forcibly installed, the elastic seal will age very quickly, have a short service life, and require frequent replacement and maintenance.

[0003] In summary, in order to increase the service life of the sealing component and enhance the sealing effect of the air preheater, we proposed an air preheater shaft end sealing device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide an air preheater shaft end sealing device to improve the problems of poor sealing performance and short service life of the sealing assembly proposed in the above background.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] An air preheater shaft end sealing device includes a rotating shaft, characterized in that it includes: a cooling box and a flange, the cooling box is fixedly installed above the flange, the cooling box and the flange form a cooling chamber, a micro air pump is installed on the left side of the cooling box, and a one-way exhaust valve is installed on the right side, the flange is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft, an elastic rubber body is installed above the flange, a pressure cover is sleeved on the outside of the elastic rubber body, a sealed heat dissipation shell is installed on the outside of the pressure cover, and the sealed heat dissipation shell is located in the cooling chamber.

[0007] Preferably, the flange is fixedly mounted on the surface of the air preheater shell.

[0008] Preferably, the micro air pump is connected to the cold air inlet of the air preheater to pump in cold air, and the one-way exhaust valve is connected to the hot air outlet of the air preheater to discharge hot air.

[0009] Preferably, an oblique annular groove is provided inside the elastic rubber body to increase elastic deformation and improve sealing performance, and a hoop is sleeved on the outside of the elastic rubber body and is tightly held.

[0010] Preferably, the gland is installed above the flange, a first annular press platform is provided below the gland, and a first sealing ring is installed between the first annular press platform and the flange to ensure the air tightness of the device.

[0011] Preferably, a plurality of grooves are provided on the side of the sealed heat dissipation shell to increase the contact area with the primary cold air.

[0012] Preferably, the sealed heat dissipation shell is fixedly installed above the flange, a second annular press platform is provided below the sealed heat dissipation shell and is located above the flange, and a second sealing ring is installed between the second annular press platform and the flange and is located outside the first annular press platform.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] The utility model adopts an innovative cooling box design, which uses a micro air pump to suck the external primary cold air into the interior of the cooling box device, thereby forming an efficient gas circulation system. This system can quickly take away the heat on the surface of the sealed heat dissipation box and discharge the heat through the air outlet. In order to ensure the unidirectionality of gas flow and prevent possible gas backflow, the utility model uses a one-way air valve. In addition, in order to further improve the heat exchange efficiency, a plurality of grooves are designed on the side of the sealed heat dissipation box. The presence of these grooves increases the surface area of ​​the heat dissipation structure, allowing heat to be dissipated from the heat dissipation box faster and more evenly, thereby ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the device under high-load working conditions, ensuring that the internal temperature of the sealing component will not be too high when working in a high temperature environment, ensuring the service life of the elastic rubber body, and ensuring the stable operation and long-term reliability of the equipment.
