[0021] To solve the technical problems, as Figures 1-3 shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:
[0022] A dry friction mechanical seal structure for a screw vacuum pump, comprising a transmission gear 1. The inner wall of the transmission gear 1 is fixedly connected to a rotor shaft 3. A bearing 4 and a dry friction mechanical seal sleeve 12 are sleeved on the surface of the rotor shaft 3. A bearing seat 6 is arranged on the surface of the bearing 4. A gear oil tank 16 is sleeved on the surface of the bearing seat 6. A dry friction mechanical seal dynamic ring part 10 is arranged on the surface of the dry friction mechanical seal sleeve 12. A dry friction mechanical seal static ring part 9 is arranged on the surface of the dry friction mechanical seal dynamic ring part 10. A transmission pin 13 is commonly penetrated through one side of the dry friction mechanical seal dynamic ring part 10 and the dry friction mechanical seal sleeve 12. And the dry friction mechanical seal dynamic ring part 10 and the dry friction mechanical seal sleeve 12 are fixedly connected through the transmission pin 13. A labyrinth seal 14 is sleeved on the surface of the rotor shaft 3 and on the left side of the dry friction mechanical seal sleeve 12. A pump body 15 is commonly sleeved on the surfaces of the bearing seat 6 and the dry friction mechanical seal static ring part 9. A labyrinth seal seat 22 is arranged on the surface of the labyrinth seal 14 and on the left side of the pump body 15. A medium gas seal cavity 21 is formed between the labyrinth seal seat 22 and the dry friction mechanical seal static ring part 9. An O-ring one 5 is arranged on the surface of the bearing seat 6. The surface of the O-ring one 5 is in contact with the pump body 15.
[0023] The dry friction mechanical seal dynamic ring part 10 includes a seal weir 102. A logarithmic spiral groove group one 101 and a logarithmic spiral groove group two 103 are opened on one side of the seal weir 102.
[0024] A connecting screw one 7 and a connecting screw two 23 are commonly penetrated through one side of the bearing seat 6 and the dry friction mechanical seal static ring part 9. The O-ring one 5 and the dry friction mechanical seal static ring part 9 are fixedly connected through the connecting screw one 7. A lock nut 2 is arranged on the surface of the connecting screw two 23. Through the combined use of the connecting screw one 7 and the connecting screw two 23, a fixed connection is formed between the bearing seat 6 and the dry friction mechanical seal static ring part 9. And when the dry friction mechanical seal static ring part 9 rotates, the bearing seat 6 will also be driven to rotate.
[0025] An O-ring two 8 is sleeved on one side of the dry friction mechanical seal static ring part 9. One side of the O-ring two 8 is in contact with the bearing seat 6. Through the arrangement of the O-ring two 8, the function of sealing the bearing seat 6 and the dry friction mechanical seal static ring part 9 is achieved, avoiding the situation of gas entering.
[0026] An O-ring three 11 is arranged on the inner wall of the dry friction mechanical seal sleeve 12. The O-ring three 11 is sleeved on the surface of the rotor shaft 3. Through the arrangement of the O-ring three 11, the function of sealing between the rotor shaft 3 and the dry friction mechanical seal sleeve 12 is achieved, and thus the function of improving the rotation safety of the rotor shaft 3 and the dry friction mechanical seal sleeve 12 is facilitated.
[0027] A circulating cooling water hole 17 is provided at the top of the pump body 15. A cooling water chamber 18 is formed between the pump body 15, the static ring part 9 of the dry friction mechanical seal, and the labyrinth seal seat 22, and the circulating cooling water hole 17 communicates with the cooling water chamber 18. Through the combined use of the circulating cooling water hole 17 and the cooling water chamber 18, the cooling water enters the inner cavity of the cooling water chamber 18 through the circulating cooling water hole 17, effectively preventing the seal from being deformed due to high temperature.
[0028] An O-ring IV 19 is sleeved on the surface of the static ring part 9 of the dry friction mechanical seal, and the surface of the O-ring IV 19 contacts the labyrinth seal seat 22. Through the setting of the O-ring IV 19, the situation that the cooling water in the inner cavity of the cooling water chamber 18 enters the inner cavity of the medium gas seal chamber 21 is avoided, effectively achieving the purpose of separating the cooling water from the medium gas.
[0029] An O-ring V 20 is provided on one side of the labyrinth seal seat 22, and the surface of the O-ring V 20 contacts the pump body 15. Through the setting of the O-ring V 20, it plays a role in increasing the sealing performance between the pump body 15 and the labyrinth seal seat 22, and provides auxiliary sealing to prevent the cooling water from leaking into the inner cavity of the medium gas seal chamber 21.
[0030] Working principle: The static ring part 9 of the dry friction mechanical seal is fixed to the end face of the bearing housing 6 by connecting screw one 7 and connecting screw two 23, and sealed with O-ring two 8. With the setting of O-ring four 19, it effectively prevents cooling water from entering the inner cavity of the medium gas seal chamber 21. The dynamic ring part 10 of the dry friction mechanical seal and the dry friction mechanical seal sleeve 12 are integrally sleeved on the surface of the rotor shaft 3. The static ring part 9 of the dry friction mechanical seal is fixed on the bearing housing 6 with connecting screw one 7 and pressed in, and then connecting screw two 23 is tightened, and the locking nut 2 is locked. At this time, one end of the dry friction mechanical seal sleeve 12 abuts against the surface of the rotor shaft 3, and the other end presses the rotor shaft 3 through the bearing 4, so that the bearing 4 presses tightly against the dry friction mechanical seal sleeve 12 and the rotor shaft 3 to rotate at a high speed synchronously. Therefore, the dry friction mechanical seal has nothing to do with pressure during operation, thus realizing the sealing of the process medium gas by the mechanical seal. The static ring part 9 of the dry friction mechanical seal and the bearing housing 6 are fixed by connecting screw one 7 and connecting screw two 23, and sealed with O-ring one 5 and O-ring two 8. They are pressed tightly at both ends of the end face by the bearing 4 and the labyrinth seal 14 and locked by the locking nut 2. They rotate at a high speed with the rotor shaft 3. On the dynamic ring sealing surface of the dynamic ring part 10 of the dry friction mechanical seal, a group of logarithmic spiral grooves one 101 and a group of logarithmic spiral grooves two 103 are laser processed along the inner and outer circumferences. The dynamic ring part 10 of the dry friction mechanical seal and the static ring part 9 of the dry friction mechanical seal rotate relatively at a high speed to generate a pumping effect to suck in the sealing gas to form a gas film seal, avoiding contact friction between the sealing surfaces. The gear oil in the gear oil tank 16 is drawn into the bearing housing 6 by the transmission gear 1 and flows in to cool and lubricate the static ring part 9 and the dynamic ring part 10 of the dry friction mechanical seal, so that the screw vacuum pump can not only pump the medium gas but also act as a compressor to transport the pressurized gas.
