[0002] As centrifugal blowers are currently replacing the original Roots blowers and multi-stage centrifugal blowers in various industries, the cooling problem of magnetic suspension motors has gradually been exposed. Under the traditional magnetic suspension centrifuge structure, the fluid becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure fluid after flowing through the impeller, flows out from the gap between the impeller and the front cover of the motor, passes through the gap between the seal and the impeller, and finally enters the motor cavity through the protective bearing. In addition, due to the high temperature and centrifugal force, the impeller is deformed. In order to prevent damage caused by collision between the seal and the impeller, the gap between the seal and the impeller is designed to be larger, resulting in poor sealing effect. A lot of high-temperature gas leaks from the impeller side, causing the magnetic suspension bearing and the motor stator and rotor to overheat, causing the magnetic suspension rotor to vibrate, etc., and then damage occurs. Utility Model Content

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a magnetic suspension high-speed centrifuge impeller sealing structure, including an annular seal 1 and an impeller sealing tooth 10. Among them:

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the annular seal 1 is installed between the impeller 2 and the front cover 3 of the motor, and is sleeved on the rotor 4. Figure 2 and 4 As shown, continuous radial sealing teeth 5 are formed on the side of the annular seal 1 facing the impeller 2 along the circumferential direction, and continuous axial sealing teeth 6 are formed on the inner ring wall of the annular seal 1 .

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the impeller seal teeth 10 are arranged on the side of the impeller 2 facing the annular seal 1, and the impeller seal teeth 10 are meshed with the radial seal teeth 5. Under the action of the radial seal teeth 5, the impeller seal teeth 10 and the axial seal teeth 6, a sealing cavity 7 is formed between the annular seal 1 and the rotor 4 and the impeller 7, and a first fluid channel 8 connecting the sealing cavity is provided on the annular seal 1, and a second fluid channel 9 connecting the first fluid channel 8 to the outside of the centrifuge is provided on the front end cover 3 of the motor.

[0030] After the fluid flows through the impeller 2, it becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure fluid and flows into the sealing chamber 7 on the back of the impeller 2. The radial sealing teeth 5 of the annular seal 1 mesh with the impeller sealing teeth 10 to form a cut-off structure, so as to increase the resistance of the fluid in the sealing chamber 7 to flow into the motor cavity and reduce the inflow. After the fluid flows through the radial sealing structure formed by the radial sealing teeth 5 and the impeller sealing teeth 10 and is cut off, the leakage rate is further reduced, and the leakage amount is also significantly reduced. Then most of the fluid in the sealing chamber 7 flows through the first fluid channel 8 and the second fluid channel 9 and flows out of the centrifuge. The residual gas in the sealing chamber 7 continues to flow to the axial sealing teeth 6, and the axial sealing teeth 6 continue to play a sealing role. The axial sealing teeth 6 can not only effectively reduce the flow rate of the hot fluid flowing from the impeller 2 into the motor cavity, but also isolate the fluid in the motor from entering the impeller 2.

[0031] As a preferred implementation, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the radial sealing teeth 5 and the impeller sealing teeth 10 are both helical tooth structures, and preferably, the helical tooth structures are sprayed with wear-resistant materials. Through simulation calculation and measurement, the use of helical teeth can minimize the amount of fluid entering.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, the radial sealing teeth 5 are arranged to be inclined inwards, and the corresponding impeller sealing teeth 10 are arranged to be inclined outwards, so as to achieve meshing of the two.

[0033] As a preferred implementation, Figure 5 As shown, the axial sealing teeth 6 are straight tooth structures.

[0034] As a preferred implementation, Figure 2 As shown, the first fluid channel 8 is a through hole, and the through hole axially penetrates the panel of the annular seal 1.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, there are multiple perforations, and the multiple perforations are distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction.

[0036] As a preferred implementation, Figure 6As shown, the front cover 3 of the motor is formed with a groove 301 for accommodating an annular seal, and the second fluid channel 9 includes a notch 302 arranged at the bottom of the groove 301 corresponding to the through hole 8, and a radial through hole 303 connecting the notch 302 to the outside of the centrifuge. The fluid in the sealing chamber 7 flows out of the centrifuge through the through hole 8, the notch 302 and the radial through hole 303, thereby reducing the axial force generated by the airflow, so that the axial force of the high-power single-cantilever unit can be reduced.

[0037] As a preferred implementation, there are multiple slots 302 , and the multiple slots 302 are distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment, the number of radial sealing teeth 5 and impeller sealing teeth 10 is multiple, multiple radial sealing teeth 5 are coaxially arranged, multiple impeller sealing teeth 10 are coaxially arranged, and the number of impeller sealing teeth 10 is not less than the number of radial sealing teeth 5. In this embodiment, the number of radial sealing teeth 5 is 5, and the number of impeller sealing teeth 10 is 7. After calculation and measurement, the number of designed sealing teeth can ensure the normal operation of the equipment, slow down the leakage speed, and reduce the leakage amount to the greatest extent.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment, there are multiple axial sealing teeth 6, and the multiple axial sealing teeth 6 are arranged in parallel. In this embodiment, the number of axial sealing teeth 6 is 3. Since the energy and pressure of the residual gas in the sealing chamber 7 have been significantly reduced, the number of sealing teeth can be appropriately reduced.

[0040] Preferably, a radial gap is formed between the radial sealing teeth 5 and the impeller sealing teeth 10, and the radial gap is 0.8mm-1.2mm, which can ensure the cooperation between the two to the greatest extent, ensure that there is no collision under accident conditions and normal conditions, and ensure installation and reduce leakage. The radial gap is as small as possible under the premise of ensuring no friction.

[0041] Preferably, an axial gap is formed between the axial sealing teeth 6 and the rotor 4, and the axial gap is 0.6-0.8 mm.

[0042] During normal operation, the radial clearance and the axial clearance are both smaller than the clearance protecting the bearing, so as to ensure that the magnetic bearing will not collide with the seal and cause seal damage in normal and accident conditions.

[0043] In the impeller sealing structure of the magnetic levitation high-speed centrifuge of the utility model, the fluid becomes high temperature and high pressure after flowing through the impeller 2, and flows into the sealing chamber 7 on the back of the impeller 2. The radial sealing teeth 5 of the annular seal 1 mesh with the impeller sealing teeth 10 to form a cut-off structure to block it, preventing the fluid from flowing into the motor cavity. At the same time, most of the fluid in the sealing chamber 7 flows through the perforation 8, the notch 302 and the radial through hole 303 in sequence to flow out of the centrifuge, while the residual gas in the sealing chamber 7 continues to flow to the axial sealing teeth 6, and the axial sealing teeth 6 continue to play a sealing role, thereby preventing the residual gas from flowing into the motor cavity.

[0044] Parts not involved in the present invention are the same as the prior art or can be implemented by the prior art. Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it is understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
