Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of mechanical seals, and particularly relates to a mechanical seal device for a hot water pump. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, through retrieval, it is found that the Chinese patent discloses a "novel mechanical seal device for a hot water pump", and its publication number is "CN216666012U". This patent mainly benefits from having a seal seat and a stationary ring. The left upper end inside the seal seat is slidably connected with a connecting rod, so that the seal seat is stably installed through the connecting rod and a spring. The right inner end of the seal seat is inlaid with a gasket, so that the seal seat and the gasket increase the sealing performance, thereby facilitating the improvement of the sealing effect of the sealing device; there are a positioning block and a fixing ring. The positioning block is installed inside the upper end of the fixing ring through a second internal hexagonal socket head screw, so that the positioning block is installed on the shaft sleeve through the fixing ring.

[0027] See also Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, the utility model is a mechanical seal device for a hot water pump, which includes a driving device 1.

By setting the buffer mechanism 2, in the high-temperature environment of the hot water pump transporting hot water, even if the rotating shaft 21 rotates and may be in a state of thermal expansion, the elastic action of the first spring 27 and the gap between the first limiting block 28 and the second limiting block 29 play a buffering role in the change of the moving ring 25. At the same time, the first spring 27 can also buffer the vibration that may be generated by the rotation of the rotating shaft 21, reducing the influence of special situations on the sealing effect of the moving ring 25 contacting the stationary ring 36 to a certain extent and improving the practicability. The sealing mechanism 3 includes a fixing component, a spring component and a sealing component.

By setting the sealing mechanism 3, the fixing ring 31 is fixed on the driving device 1. The second spring 38 applies elastic force to drive the stationary ring 36 to contact the moving ring 25, and the mechanical seal is completed in cooperation with the stationary ring sealing ring 310 and the moving ring sealing ring 211.To a certain extent, it avoids the influence of hot water contacting the rotating shaft 21 on the normal operation of the driving device 1, ensuring the sealing effect.

An inner wall of the bushing 22 is fixedly connected with a bushing sealing ring 42, and an inner wall of the bushing sealing ring 42 is fixedly connected with an outer wall of the rotating shaft 21. By providing the fixing mechanism 4, the number of fixing holes 41 facilitates the fixing of the sealing mechanism 3 on the driving device 1 by personnel. The bushing sealing ring 42 is provided to strengthen the connection and fixing and sealing effect between the bushing 22 and the rotating shaft 21. Among them, the bushing sealing ring 42 has a certain interference amount, so that it takes a certain amount of effort to fit the bushing 22 onto the rotating shaft 21 with the aid of tools, strengthening the fixing and sealing effect.

[0028] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: The main material of the liquid film 311 is grease. The working principle of grease is that the thickener holds the oil in the position where lubrication is required. When there is a load, the thickener releases the oil, thus playing a lubricating role. At normal temperature and in a static state, it is like a solid, capable of maintaining its shape without flowing, and can adhere to the metal without slipping. At high temperature or when subjected to an external force exceeding a certain limit, it is like a liquid and can flow. When grease is subjected to the shearing action of moving parts in a machine, it can flow and lubricate, reducing the friction and wear between the moving surfaces. When the shearing action stops, it can restore a certain consistency. This special fluidity of grease determines that it can be used for lubrication in parts where lubricating oil is not suitable. In addition, since it is a semi-solid substance, its sealing and protective effects are better than those of lubricating oil.

[0029] By setting the buffer mechanism 2, when the driving device 1 in the hot water pump is driven, it drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 21. Since the shaft sleeve 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 21, the shaft sleeve 22 rotates around the rotating shaft 21 to drive the connecting block 23 to rotate. The connecting block 23 drives a number of first limiting blocks 28 to rotate. The number of first limiting blocks 28 drives the moving ring 25 to rotate through the second limiting block 29. Under the lubrication of the liquid film 311, the moving ring 25 rotates to contact the static ring 36, and the sealing function is completed by cooperating with the moving ring seal ring 211 and the static ring seal ring 310. The groove 210 on the moving ring 25 is designed to facilitate the installation of the moving ring seal ring 211 and at the same time increase the interference fit between the moving ring 25 and the shaft sleeve 22, reducing the influence of the high-temperature environment on the moving ring 25. When installing the buffer mechanism 2 and the sealing mechanism 3, the operator presses down the receiving ring 212 to drive the connecting block 23 to compress the first spring 27 through the first fixing groove 24 and the second fixing groove 26. There is a certain gap between the first limiting block 28 and the second limiting block 29, and it is not completely pressed down and closed, giving the moving ring 25 and the first spring 27 a buffer space. While giving the buffer space, the first spring 27 continuously acts with elastic force to make the moving ring 25 contact the static ring 36 to complete the mechanical seal. It realizes that in the high-temperature environment of the hot water pump transporting hot water, even if the rotating shaft 21 rotates and may be in a thermal expansion state, through the elastic action of the first spring 27 and the gap between the first limiting block 28 and the second limiting block 29, it plays a buffering role in the change of the moving ring 25. At the same time, the first spring 27 can also buffer the vibration that may be generated by the rotation of the rotating shaft 21, reducing the influence of special situations on the sealing function of the moving ring 25 contacting the static ring 36 to a certain extent and improving the practicability.

[0030] By setting up the sealing mechanism 3, the staff first put the fixing ring 31 on the rotating shaft 21, fix the fixing ring 31 on the driving device 1 through a number of fixing holes 41, then put the static ring seal 310 and the dynamic ring seal 211 on the arc-shaped step surface 39, and put the snap ring 34 into the clamping groove 33 of the sleeve 22. After fixing the sleeve seal ring 42 on the inner wall of the sleeve 22, put the sleeve 22 on the rotating shaft 21 and fix the sleeve 22 on the rotating shaft 21. At this time, under the elastic action of the second spring 38, the static ring 36 is pushed to slide upward in the gland 32 to fix the static ring seal 310. At this time, the second spring 38 is in a compressed state. The second spring 38 and the first spring 27 cooperate with each other to make the static ring 36 contact the dynamic ring 25 in a sealed state. A liquid film 311 is coated on the contact surface between the dynamic ring 25 and the static ring 36 for lubrication. The clamping groove 33 and the snap ring 34 play a limiting role in connecting the fixing ring 31 and the sleeve 22. The snap ring 34 is made of rubber material and also plays a sealing role for the fixing ring 31 and the sleeve 22. The fixing ring 31 is fixed on the driving device 1. The second spring 38 applies elastic force to drive the static ring 36 to contact the dynamic ring 25, and cooperate with the static ring seal 310 and the dynamic ring seal 211 to complete mechanical sealing, which to a certain extent avoids hot water contacting the rotating shaft 21 and affecting the normal operation of the driving device 1, and ensures the sealing effect.

[0031] By setting up the fixing mechanism 4, a number of fixing holes 41 facilitate the staff to fix the sealing mechanism 3 on the driving device 1. The sleeve seal ring 42 is set to strengthen the connection and fixing and sealing effect between the sleeve 22 and the rotating shaft 21. The sleeve seal ring 42 has a certain interference fit, so it takes a certain amount of effort to put the sleeve 22 on the rotating shaft 21 with the aid of tools, which strengthens the fixing and sealing effect.
