Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mechanical seals, and particularly to a vulcanized spring integrated mechanical seal. Background Art
[0002] Mechanical seals are widely used in equipment such as pumps, compressors, and stirring machines. Their function is to cut off the leakage path between rotating components (such as shafts) and stationary structural cavities, preventing harmful media in the cavity from leaking to the outside.
[0003] Spring mechanical seals usually consist of a dynamic component fixed on the shaft, a static component fixed to the cavity, and a spring. The dynamic ring makes its end face closely fit against the end face of the static ring to form a sealing surface by means of the liquid pressure in the sealing cavity and the elastic force of the spring. When installed, the spring on the dynamic component is compressed, thus providing a positive pressure on the sealing surface. This positive pressure must offset the thrust caused by the fluid pressure inside the seal to keep the sealing surface closed. However, when the seal is in a long-term high-temperature and highly corrosive operating environment, some pressure components are prone to wear and failure, resulting in seal leakage and thus the failure of the entire mechanical seal. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to improve the service life of spring mechanical seals in high-temperature and highly corrosive environments, the present application provides a vulcanized spring integrated mechanical seal.
[0005] The vulcanized spring integrated mechanical seal provided by the present application adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A vulcanized spring integrated mechanical seal includes a dynamic component, a static component, and a sealing elastic member. A sleeve is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft. The dynamic component includes a first dynamic ring. The static component includes a first static ring that is in sealing contact with the first dynamic ring and a wear-resistant ring that presses the first static ring. The sealing elastic member is disposed between the first dynamic ring and the sleeve and connects the first dynamic ring and the sleeve.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solutions, the setting of the sealing elastic member connects and fixes the sleeve and the dynamic ring, enabling the sleeve to drive the first dynamic ring to rotate when the rotating shaft works, thereby realizing the seal between the first static ring and the first dynamic ring. The elastic performance of the sealing elastic member enables the sealing elastic member to ensure that the first dynamic ring always abuts against the end face of the first static ring. The setting of the sealing elastic member simultaneously functions as a sealing ring and provides pressure, effectively isolating the corrosive medium from contacting the internal metal seal, and improving the service life of the mechanical seal.

Detailed implementation manners
[0034] The following further elaborates on the present application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-4 drawings for a more detailed description.
[0035] An embodiment of the present application discloses a vulcanized spring integrated mechanical seal.
[0036] Referring to Figure 1 , a vulcanized spring integrated mechanical seal includes a moving assembly 1, a static assembly 2, a sealing elastic member 3, and a sleeve 4 sleeved on a rotating shaft 5. A connecting through hole 41 communicating with the rotating shaft 5 is provided on the side wall of the sleeve 4, and a set screw 6 is installed at the connecting through hole 41 of the sleeve 4 to fix the sleeve 4 and the rotating shaft 5 through the set screw 6.
[0037] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the moving assembly 1 includes a first moving ring 11 at one end of the sleeve 4, a second moving ring 12 at the other end of the sleeve 4, a stop ring 13 connecting the second moving ring 12, and a positioning clip 14.
[0038] The static assembly 2 includes a first static ring 21 in abutting cooperation with the first moving ring 11, a wear-resistant ring 22 pressing the first static ring 21, a second static ring 23 in abutting cooperation with the second moving ring 12, a static ring seat 24, and a gland 25 for pressing the second static ring 23.
[0039] The sealing elastic member 3 is a vulcanized spring, which includes a sealing part 31 and an elastic part 32. The side of the first moving ring 11 facing the sleeve 4 has a first card slot 111 for the outside of the sealing part 31 to be inserted. The sleeve 4 has a second card slot 42 corresponding to the first card slot 111 and for the inside of the sealing part 31 to be inserted. The first card slot 111 and the second card slot 42 are parallel to each other in the radial direction of the rotating shaft 5.
[0040] To facilitate the snap-in installation of the sealing elastic member 3, the first moving ring 11 and the shaft sleeve 4 both have guiding inclined surfaces 43 on the end faces away from the first stationary ring 21. The sealing portion 31 is in sealing fit with the guiding inclined surfaces 43 of the first moving ring 11 and the shaft sleeve 4. By providing the sealing elastic member 3, it can simultaneously exert a pressure on the first moving ring 11 and isolate the corrosive medium.
[0041] The retaining ring 13 is at the other end of the shaft sleeve 4. The retaining ring 13 is fixedly connected to the shaft sleeve 4 by a set screw 6. The second moving ring 12 is located on the side of the retaining ring 13 facing the first moving ring 11. A first connecting pin 131 is integrally provided on the end face of the retaining ring 13 facing the second moving ring 12. The second moving ring 12 has a first locking groove 121 for inserting the first connecting pin 131. Through the cooperation of the first connecting pin 131 and the first locking groove 121, the second moving ring 12 and the retaining ring 13 are fixed, so that when the shaft sleeve 4 drives the retaining ring 13 to rotate, the retaining ring 13 can simultaneously drive the second moving ring 12 to rotate.
[0042] The positioning clip 14 is located outside the retaining ring 13. The positioning frame and the retaining ring 13 are also fixed by a set screw 6. In this embodiment, the axes of the set screws 6 are all perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 5. The positioning clip 14 is provided with a connecting portion 141 on the side facing the second moving ring 12. The connecting portion 141 and the positioning clip 14 are integrally provided and extend radially away from the rotating shaft 5. The inner side of the gland 25 facing the rotating shaft 5 has a rotating groove 251 that cooperates with the connecting portion 141. The rotating groove 251 is a circumferentially arranged annular groove. Among them, the gland 25 is in sealing contact with the first stationary ring 21 and the wear-resistant ring 22 at the end face away from the annular groove.
[0043] A first sealing ring 15 is also installed between the second moving ring 12 and the retaining ring 13. The first sealing ring 15 is made of tetrafluoroethylene-propylene rubber. The second moving ring 12 has a ring groove for arranging the first sealing ring 15.
[0044] Combined Figure 4 , the stationary ring seat 24 and the second stationary ring 23 seat are both located between the gland 25 and the shaft sleeve 4. The second stationary ring 23 is inlaid in the stationary ring seat 24, and the second stationary ring 23 is in sealing contact with the second moving ring 12. The stationary ring seat 24 has a second locking groove 241, and the axis of the second locking groove 241 is parallel to the rotating shaft 5. A second connecting pin 252 inserted into the second locking groove 241 is integrally provided on the gland 25. Through the cooperation of the second connecting pin 252 and the second locking groove 241, the fixed connection between the gland 25 and the stationary ring seat 24 is realized, ensuring the stability of the stationary ring seat 24 when the rotating shaft 5 is working.
[0045] The cross-section of the stationary ring seat 24 is L-shaped, and an installation gap 26 is formed between the portion extending in the radial direction thereof and the end face of the gland 25. A corrugated spring 27 is installed in the stationary ring seat 24 within the installation gap 26. The two ends of the corrugated spring 27 respectively abut against the stationary ring seat 24 and the gland 25. By providing the corrugated spring 27, pressure can be respectively applied to the first stationary ring 21 and the second stationary ring 23, thereby ensuring the sealed abutment of the two dynamic seals.
[0046] On the side of the gland 25 away from the second stationary ring 23 in the installation gap 26, there is also a sealing ring groove, and a second sealing ring 28 that abuts against the axial extension portion of the stationary ring seat 24 is installed in the sealing ring groove.
[0047] In order to improve the overall sealing performance of the mechanical seal, the present application also installs a plurality of sealing rings, such as between the shaft sleeve 4 and the rotating shaft 5, between the first stationary ring 21 and the wear-resistant ring 22, and between the gland 25 and the wear-resistant ring 22. The materials of the above-mentioned sealing rings are all the same as those of the first sealing ring 15.
[0048] The implementation principle of a vulcanized spring integrated mechanical seal according to an embodiment of the present application is as follows: during operation, the rotating shaft 5 rotates the stop ring 13 and the shaft sleeve 4 through the set screw 6. The shaft sleeve 4 drives the first dynamic ring 11 to rotate through the sealing elastic member 3. The stop ring 13 drives the second dynamic ring 12 to rotate through the first connecting pin 131, and at the same time, the dynamic seals at both ends of the shaft sleeve 4 are realized.
[0049] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
