[0045] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 , as the first embodiment of the present utility model, there is provided
[0046] An assembled comb tooth carbon ring sealing device, comprising:
[0047] A rotating shaft member 100;
[0048] The gas compression member 200 is arranged on the rotating shaft member 100;
[0049] The sealing housing 300 is sleeved on the rotating shaft member 100 and has an annular sinking groove 310 and a comb tooth section 320 arranged in sequence. The comb tooth section 320 is used for pressure relief;
[0050] There are several sealing members 400, which are arranged in the annular sinking groove 310 in sequence. The sealing members 400 are used to seal the gas compression member 200;
[0051] The cover body 500 is arranged on the sealing housing 300, and the cover body 500 is used to seal the annular sinking groove 310.
[0052] In this embodiment, the present solution is a sealing device between the back of the impeller 210 of a centrifugal steam compressor and the outside. In practical applications, the rotating shaft member 100 can withstand the huge stress brought by high-speed rotation. The gas compression member 200 is tightly installed on the rotating shaft member 100, and its shape and size are designed according to specific compression requirements. For example, in a scenario for industrial steam compression, the gas compression member 200 may have a specific blade shape and angle to achieve efficient steam compression. The depth and width of the annular sinking groove 310 can accommodate an appropriate number and specifications of the sealing members 400. The tooth shape and pitch of the comb tooth section 320 are also optimized to effectively achieve the pressure relief function. When the air flow passes through the comb tooth section 320 on the sealing housing 300, a vortex will be formed in the area of the comb tooth section 320, thereby reducing the pressure of the gas and reducing the leakage amount. The sealing members 400 are closely arranged in the annular sinking groove 310 to form an effective sealing barrier. Suppose in a high-temperature and high-pressure steam compression environment, the sealing members 400 can withstand temperatures up to several hundred degrees Celsius and pressures of several atmospheres, preventing gas leakage. The cover body 500 is firmly installed on the sealing housing 300 through connectors such as bolts to ensure that the annular sinking groove 310 is completely sealed. The present solution can better reduce the problem of gas leakage from the gap of the gas compression member 200 during mechanical operation, thereby reducing the safety hazards for workers during work and protecting the working environment. While reducing gas leakage, it can also improve the working efficiency of the compressor.
[0053] Furthermore, the sealing housing 300 has a first condensate drain port 330, and the sealing member 400 includes:
[0054] There are several first sealing units 410, all of which are arranged in the annular sinking groove 310, and the first sealing units 410 abut against the comb tooth section 320;
[0055] The second sealing unit 420 is arranged in the annular sinking groove 310. The second sealing unit 420 has a second condensate drain port 421, and the second condensate drain port 421 is communicated with the first condensate drain port 330;
[0056] The third sealing unit 430, which has several of them, is all arranged in the annular sunk groove 310. The second sealing unit 420 is located between the first sealing unit 410 and the third sealing unit 430, and the third sealing unit 430 abuts against the cover body 500.
[0057] In this embodiment, the sealing housing 300 serves as the outer shell of the entire sealing device. An annular sunk groove 310 is designed inside it to accommodate multiple sealing units. At the same time, a first condensate drain port 330 is designed on the housing, which serves as a condensate leakage interface, a gas leakage interface, or a sealed gas interface. The first sealing unit 410 consists of several components, all of which are arranged in the annular sunk groove 310 and are in close contact with the comb tooth section 320. The first sealing unit 410 can effectively prevent steam from leaking to the outside. At the same time, when used in conjunction with the comb tooth section 320, it further improves the sealing effect and reduces energy loss. The second sealing unit 420 is also arranged in the annular sunk groove 310. It has a second condensate drain port 421, and the second condensate drain port 421 communicates with the first condensate drain port 330 on the sealing housing 300, forming a complete condensate discharge channel. The third sealing unit 430 also consists of several components, is arranged in the annular sunk groove 310, and is tightly connected to the cover body 500. The function of the third sealing unit 430 is to ensure the complete isolation of the inside of the sealing housing 300 from the external environment, prevent external air or impurities from entering, and at the same time support and fix the cover body 500 to maintain the structural stability and sealing integrity of the entire sealing device. This embodiment not only optimizes the steam sealing and condensate discharge mechanisms, improves the sealing performance and operation safety of the equipment, but also ensures the convenience of operation and the long-term reliability of the equipment.
[0058] Furthermore, the first sealing unit 410 includes:
[0059] An installation ring 411, which is arranged in the annular sunk groove 310;
[0060] The first split spring carbon ring 412, which is arranged in the annular sunk groove 310;
[0061] A first connecting piece 413, with one end arranged on the installation ring 411 and the other end arranged on the first split spring carbon ring 412.
[0062] The installation ring 411 and the rotating shaft member 100 form a first inner ring groove 414, and the installation ring 411 and the sealing housing 300 form a first outer ring groove 415. The first split spring carbon ring 412 is arranged in the first inner ring groove 414, and the first outer ring groove 415 is used for installing the sealing ring.
[0063] In this embodiment, the mounting ring 411 fits tightly within the annular sink 310. There is an annular sealing ring between the mounting ring 411 and the annular sink 310. The first split spring carbon ring 412 is disposed within the annular sink 310 and is connected to the mounting ring 411 through a first connecting member 413. The first split spring carbon ring 412 adopts a split design and is composed of multiple carbon ring segments. Each segment is connected by an internal spring, forming an elastic sealing structure, which improves the adaptability and reliability of the seal and reduces the possibility of steam leakage. When the rotating shaft member 100 cooperates with the first split spring carbon ring 412, a certain gap is left. The first connecting member 413 firmly connects the split spring carbon ring to the mounting ring 411. The first connecting member 413 may adopt connection methods such as bolts, pins, or snaps, and the most suitable connection method is selected according to the actual working conditions and sealing requirements. This embodiment improves the sealing performance and operating safety of the equipment.
[0064] Further, the second sealing unit 420 includes:
[0065] A uniform hole ring 426, disposed within the annular sink 310, and the second drain port 421 is located on the uniform hole ring 426;
[0066] A second split spring carbon ring 422, disposed within the annular sink 310;
[0067] A second connecting member 423, with one end disposed on the uniform hole ring 426 and the other end disposed on the second split spring carbon ring 422.
[0068] In this embodiment, the hole ring is disposed within the annular sink 310, and the second drain port 421 is designed thereon for collecting and discharging condensate. The aperture and distribution of the uniform hole ring 426 are designed to adapt to the condensate flow generated during the steam compression process, ensuring the smooth discharge of condensate and avoiding the accumulation of condensate inside the sealing device. The second split spring carbon ring 422 is also disposed within the annular sink 310 and is connected to the uniform hole ring 426 through the second connecting member 423. The second split spring carbon ring 422 adopts a split design similar to that of the first split spring carbon ring 412 and is composed of multiple carbon ring segments. Each segment is connected by an internal spring, forming an elastic sealing structure. When the rotating shaft member 100 cooperates with the second split spring carbon ring 422, a certain gap is left. This design can adapt to the minor deformation or vibration of the back of the impeller 210, improve the adaptability and reliability of the seal, and at the same time has the function of guiding the condensate to the first drain port 330.
[0069] Further, the uniform hole ring 426 and the rotating shaft member 100 form a second inner annular groove 424, and the uniform hole ring 426 and the sealing housing 300 form a second outer annular groove 425. The second split spring carbon ring 422 is disposed within the second inner annular groove 424, and the second outer annular groove 425 is used for installing a sealing ring.
[0070] In this embodiment, a second inner ring groove 424 is formed between the porous ring 426 and the rotating shaft member 100, and the second split spring carbon ring 422 can be installed in the inner ring groove. The size and shape of the second inner ring groove 424 are designed to adapt to the structure of the second split spring carbon ring 422, so that the second split spring carbon ring 422 is in close contact with the rotating shaft member 100, improving the sealing effect. A second outer ring groove 425 is formed between the porous ring 426 and the sealing housing 300, providing space for installing the sealing ring. The sealing ring can be closely attached between the porous ring 426 and the sealing housing 300, forming an additional sealing barrier and further enhancing the sealing performance of the sealing device.
[0071] Furthermore, the third sealing unit 430 has the same structure as the first sealing unit 410.
[0072] Furthermore, the rotating shaft member 100 includes:
[0073] A rotating shaft 110, on which the gas compression member 200 is arranged;
[0074] A shaft sleeve 120, arranged on the rotating shaft 110, and the mounting ring 411 and the porous ring 426 respectively form a first inner ring groove 414 and a second inner ring groove 424 with the shaft sleeve 120.
[0075] An alloy is sprayed on the outer side of the shaft sleeve 120.
[0076] In this embodiment, an annular sealing ring is also installed inside the shaft sleeve 120 and an alloy is sprayed on the outer surface of the shaft sleeve 120 to prevent excessive wear. A positioning pin is installed on the rotating shaft 110, and the shaft sleeve 120 is arranged on the rotating shaft 110 through the positioning pin. The mounting ring 411 and the porous ring 426 are fixed on the shaft sleeve 120, forming a first inner ring groove 414 and a second inner ring groove 424.
[0077] Furthermore, the gas compression member 200 includes:
[0078] An impeller 210, arranged on the rotating shaft 110;
[0079] A diffuser 220, arranged on the impeller 210, and the sealing housing 300 is arranged on the diffuser 220.
[0080] In this embodiment, the impeller 210 is arranged on the rotating shaft 110, and the diffuser 220 is arranged on the impeller 210. Its design enables the high-speed steam coming out of the impeller 210 to decelerate smoothly, while converting kinetic energy into static pressure energy, thereby increasing the pressure of the steam. The diffuser 220 adopts a hydrodynamic optimization design to adapt to the steam flow rate and pressure requirements under different working conditions, ensuring the efficiency and stability of the steam compression process. The sealing housing 300 is arranged on the diffuser 220, and its design ensures the encapsulation of the entire sealing device and the stable installation of the components. The sealing housing 300 not only provides an installation space for the first sealing unit 410, the second sealing unit 420 and related components, but also forms a closed steam compression and sealing environment through close cooperation with the diffuser 220, preventing steam leakage and improving the sealing performance and operation efficiency of the equipment.
[0081] Working principle:
[0082] During operation, after the working medium gas does work when flowing through the centrifugal compressor impeller 210, the pressure of the working medium gas in the sealing cavity increases. At this time, it will flow into the comb tooth section 320 of the sealing housing 300 from the gap between the back of the impeller 210 and the diffuser 220. When flowing through the comb tooth section 320 on the sealing housing 300, eddy currents will be formed in the adjacent areas of the comb tooth section 320, thereby reducing the pressure of the working medium gas flowing into the next area. When the working medium gas passes through the gap between the first split spring carbon ring 412, the second split spring carbon ring 422 and the shaft sleeve 120, since the shaft sleeve 120 and the rotating shaft 110 are fixed together and the shaft sleeve 120 is also rotating at a high speed, the flowing working medium gas will rotate circumferentially in this gap to form an air film, reducing the pressure again and protecting the shaft sleeve 120 and the first split spring carbon ring 412, the second split spring carbon ring 422 from direct contact, thereby reducing wear. The already depressurized working medium gas and part of the condensed water directly drain into the pre-connected pipeline from the first drain port 330 when flowing through the equalizing hole ring 426, and are discharged in the permitted discharge area. Because most of the working medium gas has been discharged, when passing through the second split spring carbon ring 422 and the cover body 500, it is depressurized again, and the pressure difference with the atmosphere will be very small. Finally, only the working medium gas allowed within the design range leaks out.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
