The inside of the sealing ring is installed in coordination with the outer surface of the main shaft. The sealing ring is a polytetrafluoroethylene ring, which has good wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and low friction coefficient. The sealing ring and the supporting ring are tightly connected and the tension spring is stretched by the bayonet and groove, which greatly improves the stability and tightness of the new hydropower-specific main shaft seal with a tension spring after installation.
[0006] Furthermore, a cavity is provided at the front end of the sealing ring, and a groove is provided at the end of the cavity away from the center of the sealing ring. The front surface of the groove is tightly fitted with the lower end of the rear surface of the supporting ring. A bayonet is provided at the rear end of the supporting ring, and the rear surface of the bayonet is tightly fitted with the front surface of the sealing ring, thereby achieving stable installation of the sealing ring and preventing the sealing ring from rolling or dislocation.
[0007] Furthermore, a tension spring is provided at one end of the cavity close to the center of the sealing ring, which can ensure that the seal is tightly attached to the main shaft surface to prevent leakage when the main shaft vibrates or the sealing surface is worn.
[0008] Furthermore, the stretch spring is a stainless steel stretch spring, which increases the service life of the stretch spring in a water vapor environment.
[0009] Furthermore, a connecting surface is provided inside the sealing ring, and the connecting surface is tightly fitted with the outer surface of the main shaft, so that the sealing ring and the main shaft are tightly installed, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the sealing ring.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the new hydropower special main shaft seal with tension spring has the following advantages:
[0011] The sealing ring is filled with polytetrafluoroethylene, which has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and wear resistance, which makes the hydropower special main shaft seal have good wear resistance, and at the same time further increases the wear resistance and reduces the friction coefficient. The supporting ring uses bayonet and groove to achieve a close connection between the supporting ring and the sealing ring, ensuring the stability of the seal after installation and avoiding rolling or misalignment. The stretch spring can ensure that the seal is close to the main shaft surface when the main shaft vibrates or the sealing surface is worn to prevent leakage, which greatly improves the stability and tightness of the new hydropower special main shaft seal with stretch spring after installation, thereby greatly extending the service life of the new hydropower special main shaft seal with stretch spring.

[0017] 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.
[0018] See also Figure 1-4 ,This embodiment provides a technical solution: a new type of hydropower-specific main shaft seal with a tension spring, including a sealing ring 1;
[0019] Sealing ring 1: Its rear side surface is tightly fitted with the lower end of the front side surface of the pressure plate 6, and a supporting ring 7 is arranged at the front end of the sealing ring 1. The interior of the sealing ring 1 is matched with the outer surface of the main shaft 8 for installation. The sealing ring 1 is a polytetrafluoroethylene ring. The sealing ring 1 uses polytetrafluoroethylene as filler. Polytetrafluoroethylene has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and wear resistance, so that the main shaft seal dedicated to hydropower has good wear resistance, and at the same time further increases wear resistance and reduces friction coefficient. A cavity 2 is arranged at the front end of the sealing ring 1, and a groove 5 is arranged at one end of the cavity 2 away from the center of the sealing ring 1. The front side surface of the groove 5 is tightly fitted with the lower end of the rear side surface of the supporting ring 7, and the rear end of the supporting ring 7 is arranged A bayonet 9 is provided, and the rear surface of the bayonet 9 is tightly fitted with the front surface of the sealing ring 1. The supporting ring 7 uses the bayonet 9 and the groove 5 to achieve a tight connection between the supporting ring 7 and the sealing ring 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the seal after installation and avoiding rolling or misalignment. A tension spring 3 is provided at one end of the cavity 2 close to the center of the sealing ring 1. The tension spring 3 is a stainless steel tension spring. A connecting surface 4 is provided inside the sealing ring 1, and the connecting surface 4 is tightly fitted with the outer surface of the main shaft 8. The tension spring 3 can ensure that the seal is tightly attached to the main shaft surface when the main shaft 8 vibrates or the sealing surface is worn to prevent leakage, thereby greatly improving the stability and tightness of the new hydropower-specific main shaft seal with a tension spring after installation.
[0020] The working principle of the new type of main shaft seal with a tension spring for hydropower provided by the utility model is as follows: when working, the connecting surface 4 of the sealing ring 1 is tightly fitted with the outer surface of the main shaft 8, and the thrust applied to the tension spring 3 by the outer surface of the main shaft 8 makes the tension spring 3 elastically stretched, and the elastic force is reacted to the sealing ring 1, so that the connecting surface 4 is tightly fitted with the outer surface of the main shaft 8. When the main shaft 8 vibrates or the sealing surface is worn, it is ensured that the seal is tightly attached to the main shaft surface to prevent leakage. At the same time, the supporting ring 7 is connected with the bayonet 9 and the groove 5 to achieve a tight connection between the supporting ring 7 and the sealing ring 1, ensuring the stability of the seal after installation and avoiding rolling or dislocation. The sealing ring 1 uses polytetrafluoroethylene as filler, so that the special main shaft seal for hydropower has good wear resistance, and at the same time further increases the wear resistance and reduces the friction coefficient, so that the service life of the new type of main shaft seal with a tension spring for hydropower is greatly extended.
