Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bearing box oil seal structures, in particular to an inflatable carbon ring type oil seal structure for a ventilator bearing box. Background Technique
[0002] The bearing box is one of the core components for the normal operation of the ventilator, and its reliability is the key to ensuring the normal operation of the machine. In actual use, since the bearing box uses liquid lubricating oil as the lubricating medium, a reliable sealing device is required to ensure that the lubricating oil does not leak. Poor sealing of the bearing box will increase the maintenance cost, reduce the service life of the machine, and make the maintenance cycle more frequent. Secondly, the leaked lubricating oil will pollute the environment and make the environment where the equipment is located very dirty and messy. Generally, on-site users will pay attention to the cleanliness of the on-site use, and oil leakage will cause environmental pollution. Therefore, a reliable seal is very important. This patent provides a new type of oil seal structure, which can better solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model develops an inflatable carbon ring type oil seal structure for a ventilator bearing box, which can replace the original aluminum labyrinth + packing rope structure. By filling nitrogen with a certain pressure, there is an air film between the gaps of the carbon ring and the shaft sleeve. Continuous inflation will form a certain pressure difference, so that the lubricating oil on the surface of the shaft sleeve cannot flow out of the box body, forming a seal, improving the service life of the seal and reducing the maintenance cost.
[0004] The technical solution for the utility model to solve the technical problem is: an inflatable carbon ring type oil seal structure for a ventilator bearing box, including a housing, a side cover, an oil retaining ring, an inflatable carbon ring type oil seal assembly, a ventilation hole, a bearing and a main shaft.

The side cover 102 is connected to the housing 1 by bolts. The bearing 8 is connected inside the housing 1. The main shaft 9 is connected to the bush 4. The oil retaining ring 2 is connected to the main shaft 9. The inflatable carbon ring type oil seal assembly includes an outer shell 3, a bush 4, an inflation hole 5 and a carbon ring 6. The bush 4 is connected to the main shaft 9. The carbon ring 6 is connected to the bush 4. The outer shell 3 is connected to the bush 4. The inflation hole 5 is provided on the outer shell 3, and an inflation pipe 51 is connected to the inflation hole 5. The ventilation hole 7 is provided on the housing 1, and an exhaust bolt 101 is further provided on the housing 1. The exhaust bolt 101 is threadedly connected to the housing 1.
[0025] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, at least 4 carbon rings 6 are installed.
[0026] As Figure 3 shown, a snout structure 41 is provided at the front end of the bush 4, which can receive the lubricating oil dripping when the oil retaining ring 2 is removed.
[0027] As Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, 2 - 4 ventilation holes 7 are provided. The ventilation holes 7 are opened on the outer ring of the housing 1, which can make the gases on both sides of the bearing 8 inside the housing 1 communicate with each other and maintain air pressure balance.

[0029] Nitrogen is continuously filled into the inflation hole 5.
[0030] Working principle
[0031] The utility model inflates the gap between the carbon ring 6 and the shaft sleeve 4 by arranging an inflation hole 5 on the outer shell 3 of the inflatable carbon ring type oil seal assembly, so as to form an air film in the gap and generate a certain pressure difference. The pressure difference is used to block the lubricating oil on the surface of the shaft sleeve 4 from flowing out of the box body, thereby realizing sealing. This sealing method has a simple structural design, does not rely on traditional easily worn sealing materials, the carbon ring 6 and the shaft sleeve 4 can be closely matched, and materials such as packing ropes and felt rings are not used, which can prevent deformation failure caused by wear and ensure the long-term stability of the seal; nitrogen with a lower temperature is filled into the inflation hole 5. On the one hand, nitrogen circulates inside and outside the box body, which can take away the heat generated by the operation of the bearing 8, reduce the temperature rise of the bearing 8, and improve the service life of the bearing 8. On the other hand, filling nitrogen can reduce the oxygen and water vapor content of the gas inside the bearing 8 box, reduce the corrosion of metal parts such as the bearing 8, and further ensure the normal operation of the bearing 8 and extend its service life; 2-4 ventilation holes 7 are opened on the outer ring of the housing 1 to make the gases on both sides of the bearing 8 inside the housing 1 communicate with each other and maintain air pressure balance, which helps to ensure that the bearing 8 works in a stable air pressure environment and reduce the possible decline in sealing performance or other adverse effects caused by air pressure imbalance.
