One end of the air inlet channel 41 is used to connect with the gas source, and the other end of the air inlet channel 41 is connected with the spiral groove 42. The opening axis of the spiral groove 42 is the same as the axis of the main shaft 1. A gap is left between the inner wall of the disc 4 and the outer wall of the main shaft 1.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The disc 4 is attached to the end of the sleeve 2 away from the instrument housing 3, and the disc 4 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 2 by multiple screws. The main shaft 1, the disc 4 and the sleeve 2 are coaxially arranged. The disc 4 is also provided with an air inlet interface 5, which is inserted into the air inlet channel 41 and fixedly connected to the disc 4. The air inlet channel 41 is connected to the air inlet source through the air inlet interface 5.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner wall of the disk 4 is also provided with an annular flow groove 43, which is annular and coaxial with the main shaft 1. The end of the air inlet channel 41 away from the air inlet interface 5 is connected to the annular flow groove 43, and the annular flow groove 43 is connected to one end of the spiral groove 42 to facilitate the gas to pass into the spiral groove 42 and increase the gas entry efficiency.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 When gas is introduced into the air inlet interface 5, the gas enters the annular flow groove 43 through the air inlet channel 41, then enters the spiral groove 42 from one end of the spiral groove 42, and flows along the inner wall of the spiral groove 42, thereby forming an airflow to achieve an air seal for the main shaft 1.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 An oil inlet channel 21 is also provided on one end of the sleeve 2 away from the disc 4, and an oil inlet interface 6 is inserted at the end of the oil inlet channel 21. The oil inlet interface 6 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 2, and the oil inlet channel 21 is connected to an external oil source through the oil inlet interface. The other end of the oil inlet interface 6 extends into the sleeve 2, and is bent at the end, extending to the outside of the sleeve 2, and finally extending to the outside of the sleeve 2, and communicating with the gap between the sleeve 2 and the instrument housing 3.

[0038] Reference Figure 4The outer wall of the sleeve 2 is also provided with a first annular oil groove 22 and a second annular oil groove 23. Both the first annular oil groove 22 and the second annular oil groove 23 are circular grooves and are coaxially arranged with the sleeve 2. The second annular oil groove 23 is located on the side of the first annular oil groove 22 close to the disc 4. Both the first annular oil groove 22 and the second annular oil groove 23 are connected to the gap between the sleeve 2 and the instrument housing 3 so that the oil first flows into the first annular oil groove 22.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 The first annular oil groove 22 and the second annular oil groove 23 are connected through the gap between the sleeve 2 and the device housing 3. In other embodiments, a groove for connecting the first annular oil groove 22 and the second annular oil groove 23 may be provided on the outer wall of the sleeve 2 to increase the efficiency of oil circulation between the first annular oil groove 22 and the second annular oil groove 23.

[0040] Reference Figure 5 A plurality of communication channels 24 are also provided on the outer wall of the sleeve 2. In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the communication channels 24 is set to four to increase the oil circulation efficiency. Each communication channel 24 is provided between the first annular oil groove 22 and the second annular oil groove 23. One end of each communication channel 24 extends to the inner wall of the sleeve 2 and communicates with the gap between the sleeve 2 and the main shaft 1, so that the oil enters the gap between the sleeve 2 and the main shaft 1 through the communication channel 24.

[0041] Reference Figure 5 In other embodiments, a plurality of grooves may be provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 2 to increase the amount of oil in the gap between the sleeve 2 and the main shaft 1 and improve the lubrication effect on the main shaft 1.

A plurality of oil outlet channels 26 are also provided on one end of the sleeve 2 near the disc 4. In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the oil outlet channels 26 is set to two.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 One end of each oil outlet channel 26 is connected to the annular groove 25 to allow the oil in the annular groove 25 to flow out, and the other end of each oil outlet channel 26 extends away from the disc 4 and finally extends to the end of the sleeve 2 and is connected to the outside.

[0044] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5When the oil enters the oil inlet channel 21 through the oil inlet interface 6, the oil in the oil inlet channel 21 flows into the first annular oil groove 22, and flows into the second annular oil groove 23 through the gap between the sleeve 2 and the instrument housing 3. The oil in the first annular oil groove 22 and the second annular oil groove 23 passes through the gap between the sleeve 2 and the instrument housing 3 and through the plurality of connecting channels 24 to enter the space between the main shaft 1 and the sleeve 2, thereby forming an oil film between the main shaft 1 and the sleeve 2, achieving lubrication between the main shaft 1 and the sleeve 2, and cooling the main shaft 1 and the sleeve 2.

[0045] The implementation principle of a main shaft spiral air-sealing structure of an embodiment of the present application is as follows: when in use, gas is introduced into the air inlet interface 5, the gas is introduced into the annular circulation groove 43 through the air inlet channel 41, and then enters the spiral groove 42 from one end of the spiral groove 42, and flows along the inner wall of the spiral groove 42, thereby forming an airflow to achieve air sealing of the main shaft 1, and the gas then passes out through the gap between the main shaft 1 and the disc 4.

[0046] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
