Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of shaft end seals, and particularly relates to a shaft seal structure for a horizontal agitator used in slurry treatment. Background Art

[0002] In the slurry treatment section of polysilicon production, horizontal agitators are used to process materials, and a large number of horizontal agitators are used. In this field, silane gas often leaks in the horizontal agitator for slurry treatment, which affects the operation of workers, pollutes the working environment and the health of workers, and does not meet the environmental protection requirements. At the same time, the silane gas contains fine silicon powder, which easily damages the mechanical seal, increases the spare part cost, and increases the workload of maintenance workers. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The utility model aims to solve the problem that the horizontal agitator for slurry treatment in polysilicon production is prone to silane gas leakage, which affects the normal and safe operation of the equipment.

[0004] In order to achieve the above invention purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0005] A shaft seal structure for a horizontal agitator used in slurry treatment, comprising a tightly connected shaft sleeve and an inner shaft sleeve. A limit block, a seal box, a stationary ring I, an outer moving ring, a spring seat, an inner moving ring, a stationary ring II, a gland, a steam seal gland and a plurality of steam seal seats are arranged in sequence from the shaft sleeve to the inner shaft sleeve direction. Push rings are arranged at both ends of the spring seat, a mechanical seal spring is arranged inside the spring seat, and the two ends of the spring seat are connected to the push rings through bellows. The limit block and the seal box, between the seal box and the stationary ring I, between the spring seat and the push rings, and between the gland and the stationary ring II are all fixedly connected through fastening screws.

[0006] Further, the shaft sleeve and the inner shaft sleeve are sealed with a wedge-shaped sealing ring.

[0007] Further, a seal O-ring I is installed between the seal box and the stationary ring I, a seal O-ring II is installed between the push ring and the inner moving ring, and a seal O-ring III is installed between the gland and the stationary ring II.

[0008] Further, the outer moving ring and the inner moving ring are moving rings made of silicon carbide or silicon nitride materials; the stationary ring I and the stationary ring II are stationary rings made of alloy materials.

[0009] Further, a steam seal seat A, a steam seal seat B and a steam seal seat C are arranged at the rear end of the steam seal gland. Three-lobe rings and six-lobe rings are installed inside the steam seal seat A, the steam seal seat B and the steam seal seat C. The steam seal seat A, the steam seal seat B and the steam seal seat C are connected to the steam seal gland through fastening screws.

[0010] Furthermore, both the gland and the steam seal gland are fixed to the support structure by fastening screws. After the support structure is installed and connected to the steam seal seats A, B, and C, a pressure chamber is formed. The support structure is provided with a nitrogen purge inlet and a nitrogen purge outlet that communicate with the pressure chamber.

[0011] Advantages of the present utility model:

[0012] 1. In the present utility model, the mechanical seal, the primary seal assembly, and the sealing ring structures in this solution are used in combination. The mechanical seal uses a bellows as a compensation mechanism to ensure that when the friction pair at the outer end of the mechanical seal fails, there will be no large amount of lubricating oil leakage. At the same time, the shaft seal structure in this solution is a double-end mechanical seal, which can effectively reduce problems such as material leakage and material waste.

[0013] 2. In the present utility model, the bellows preferably adopts a metal bellows structure. The outer dynamic ring and the inner dynamic ring are made of silicon carbide or silicon nitride material. The static ring I and the static ring II are alloy material static rings, and the static ring is an integral alloy, effectively ensuring the mechanical seal effect and also being able to adapt to the operating environment of 85 - 110 °C.

[0014] 3. In the present utility model, when the shaft seal structure cools down from the operating temperature to room temperature, the mechanical seal can still ensure no leakage.

[0015] 4. In the present utility model, the shaft sleeve and the inner shaft sleeve are sealed with a wedge-shaped sealing ring, and the outer end structure is mainly locked with fastening screws, with good sealing effect.

[0016] 5. In the present utility model, an independent nitrogen purge structure is added, including a nitrogen purge inlet and a nitrogen purge outlet opened on the support structure, with a normal operating pressure of 0.02 - 0.03 MPa, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the equipment.
