In the petroleum industry, the media often conveyed are mixtures containing oil, corrosive sewage and impurities. When impurities enter the contact surface of the dynamic ring and the static ring, the sealing surfaces of the static ring and the dynamic ring are damaged during the operation of the pump, thereby reducing the service life of the mechanical seal.

An electromagnetic coil is installed on the upper part of the oil storage cylinder. The inner hole of the iron core of the electromagnetic coil is connected with the telescopic rod with clearance fit. The space below the gravity piston of the oil storage cylinder is filled with lithium-based grease lubricating oil.
[0006] When the centrifugal pump is powered on, the electromagnetic coil is de-energized. When the centrifugal pump stops running, the electromagnetic coil is energized to lift the telescopic rod.
[0007] The oil reservoir is connected with an oil filling nozzle beside the lower part of the gravity piston.
[0008] The weight of the gravity piston is such that the pressure of the hydraulic oil below the gravity piston is equal to the pressure inside the pump casing when the centrifugal pump is running.
[0009] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: by means of the clearance fit connection between the stepped shaft of the retaining sleeve and the stepped hole of the pump housing, a relatively independent space is formed at the joint sealing position of the dynamic ring and the static ring, and lithium-based grease lubricating oil is filled in this space, which can ensure that impurities do not enter the sealing surfaces of the dynamic ring and the static ring, thereby forming a pure sealing oil film; at the same time, a gravity piston is arranged in the oil storage cylinder, and when the pump is running, the gravity piston keeps the pressure in the space where the sealing surface is located the same as the pump operating pressure, thereby preventing the liquid in the pump from entering the sealing position; when the pump is stopped, the electromagnetic coil lifts the weight piston, and the oil pressure in the space where the sealing surface is located returns to normal, and the lithium-based grease lubricating oil does not flow out.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a combined mechanical seal structure for oil fields includes a stationary ring 3 and a dynamic ring 4. The stationary ring 3 is embedded in the pump housing 1 through a sealing gasket, and the dynamic ring 4 is embedded in a retaining sleeve 5. The dynamic ring 4 and the stationary ring 3 are tightly sealed and connected. The retaining sleeve 5 is connected to the pump shaft 2 through a sealing ring clearance fit. The retaining sleeve 5 is connected to the limiting sleeve 7 through a spring 6, and the limiting sleeve 7 is connected to the pump shaft 2 through a locking screw.
[0014] The outer circle of the retaining sleeve 5 is processed with a step shaft 9, and the pump housing 1 is processed with a step hole 8 at the position of the step shaft 9. The step hole 8 is connected with the step shaft 9 with a clearance fit. The pump housing 1 is opened with a threaded hole on the upper part of the step hole 8 to seal and connect the oil storage cylinder 10. A gravity piston 11 is installed in the oil storage cylinder 10. The gravity piston 11 is connected to the oil storage cylinder 10 through a sealing ring clearance fit. The upper part of the gravity piston 11 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod 12, and the telescopic rod 12 is made of carbon steel. An electromagnetic coil 13 is installed on the upper part of the oil storage cylinder 10. The inner hole of the iron core of the electromagnetic coil 13 is connected with the telescopic rod 12 with a clearance fit, and the space below the gravity piston 11 of the oil storage cylinder 10 is filled with lithium-based grease lubricating oil.
[0015] When the centrifugal pump is powered on, the electromagnetic coil 13 is powered off. When the centrifugal pump stops running, the electromagnetic coil 13 is powered on to lift the telescopic rod 12.
[0016] By means of a clearance fit connection between the stepped shaft 9 of the retaining sleeve 5 and the stepped hole 8 of the pump housing 1, a relatively independent space is formed at the joint sealing position of the dynamic ring 4 and the static ring 3. The space is filled with lithium-based grease lubricating oil to ensure that the sealing surfaces of the dynamic ring 4 and the static ring 3 are not entered by impurities, thereby forming a pure sealing oil film. At the same time, a gravity piston 11 is arranged in the oil storage cylinder 10. When the pump is running, the gravity piston 11 keeps the pressure of the space where the sealing surface is located the same as the operating pressure of the pump to prevent the liquid in the pump from entering the sealing position. When the pump is stopped, the electromagnetic coil 13 lifts the weight piston 11, and the oil pressure in the space where the sealing surface is located returns to normal, and the lithium-based grease lubricating oil does not flow out.
[0017] The oil storage cylinder 10 is connected with an oiling nozzle 14 at the lower part of the gravity piston 11 for replenishing lithium-based grease lubricating oil.
[0018] The weight of the gravity piston 11 is such that the pressure of the hydraulic oil below the gravity piston 11 is equal to the pressure inside the pump housing 1 when the centrifugal pump is running.
