Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of filters, and more specifically to a water-cooled sealing structure for the main shaft of an on-line lye filter. Background Art
[0002] On-line lye filters are widely used in many technical fields such as mechanical engineering, chemical industry, environmental protection, and water treatment. For example, in the production process of a brewery, since a large amount of lye is required to clean beer bottles, in order to reduce energy consumption and resource waste, a self-cleaning filter with high filtration performance is usually used to finely filter the lye, and after removing impurities and pollutants therein, it is recycled, so as to achieve the purposes of saving lye and water, reducing production costs, and protecting the environment.
[0003] During the operation of some existing lye filters, the rotation and telescoping of the main shaft will cause some lye to seep out from the rotary seal of the main shaft. The lye will scale on the outer side wall of the main shaft, which will further cause problems such as wear, aging, and embrittlement of the rubber seal on the main shaft, resulting in seal failure; in addition, the high-temperature lye transfers heat to the reduction motor through the main shaft, and the motor may be overloaded due to excessive temperature.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a water-cooled sealing structure for the main shaft of an on-line lye filter to overcome the above problems is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Content of the Utility Model

[0027] Both the elastic sealing ring one 2 and the elastic sealing ring two 3 are provided with a plurality of them, and this design can improve the sealing performance of the main shaft 4 and the annular cavity.
[0028] Embodiment
[0029] See the appendix Figure 1-2 It is a schematic diagram of the overall and partial structures of an embodiment of the utility model. The utility model specifically discloses a water-cooled sealing structure for the main shaft of an alkali solution on-line filter. The reduction motor 5 of the alkali solution on-line filter is fixed to the reduction gearbox 6. The rotational telescopic end of the reduction gearbox 6 is connected to the main shaft 4 of the alkali solution on-line filter. The main shaft 4 and the output rotating shaft of the reduction motor 5 are both vertically arranged. Specifically:
[0030] A nut is slidably connected inside the reduction gearbox 6. The sliding direction of the nut relative to the reduction gearbox 6 is the same as the axial length direction of the output rotating shaft of the reduction motor 5. The nut can only slide along the axial length direction of the output rotating shaft of the reduction motor 5 and cannot rotate itself; The output rotating shaft of the reduction motor 5 is coaxially fixed to a transmission screw, and the transmission screw is screwed to the nut;
[0031] The upper end of the main shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the nut, that is, when the main shaft 4 rotates, it will not drive the nut to rotate. The upper end of the main shaft 4 is also vertically slidably connected to the transmission screw, that is, when the main shaft 4 moves up and down with the nut, it will not drive the transmission screw to move up and down;
[0032] There are two proximity switches on the reduction gearbox 6, and the two proximity switches are arranged vertically in sequence. There are two induction surfaces on the nut. When the induction surfaces move, they can align with and trigger the proximity switches, so that the output rotating shaft of the reduction motor 5 can change the rotation direction in time; when each of the two proximity switches aligns with the two induction surfaces, the main shaft 4 is at the highest position. At this time, the rotation direction of the output rotating shaft of the reduction motor 5 starts to change, and the main shaft 4 starts to move down; when the upper induction surface aligns with the lower proximity switch, the main shaft 4 is at the lowest position. At this time, the rotation direction of the output rotating shaft of the reduction motor 5 starts to change, and the main shaft 4 starts to move up;
[0033] When the reduction motor 5 drives the transmission screw to rotate, since the transmission screw is screwed to the nut and the nut cannot rotate relative to the reduction gearbox 6, the nut will drive the main shaft 4 to move up and down. At the same time, the transmission screw can drive the main shaft 4 to rotate. Since the main shaft 4 is slidably connected to the transmission screw, the main shaft 4 will not drive the transmission screw to move up and down when moving up and down; the above design can realize the rotational telescoping of the main shaft 4.
[0034] The sealing structure includes:
[0035] A sleeve 1, one end of the sleeve 1 is fixedly sealed to the reduction gearbox 6, and the main shaft 4 is coaxially arranged in the sleeve 1;
[0036] A sealing assembly, the sealing assembly includes an elastic sealing ring one 2 and an elastic sealing ring two 3. The inner side wall of the sleeve 1 is coaxially provided with an annular groove one 10 and an annular groove two 11. The annular groove one 10 is located above the annular groove two 11. The elastic sealing ring one 2 is tightly embedded in the annular groove one 10, and the elastic sealing ring two 3 is tightly embedded in the annular groove two 11. The inner side walls of the elastic sealing ring one 2 and the elastic sealing ring two 3 are both in sliding and tight contact with the outer side wall of the main shaft 4; the elastic sealing ring one 2 and the elastic sealing ring two 3 can be reliably installed in the sleeve 1. When the main shaft 4 rotates and telescopes, the elastic sealing ring one 2 and the elastic sealing ring two 3 will not move vertically relative to the sleeve 1;
[0037] The inner side wall of the casing 1, the outer side wall of the main shaft 4, the first elastic sealing ring 2, and the second elastic sealing ring 3 located between the first annular groove 10 and the second annular groove 11 together form a closed annular cavity. The side wall of the casing 1 is provided with a water inlet 12 and a water outlet 13, both of which are communicated with the annular cavity, and the water inlet 12 is connected to an external high-pressure water source; when the lye in-line filter is operating, the main shaft 4 performs a rotational telescopic action. During the upward movement of the main shaft 4, the lye on the outer side wall of the main shaft 4 may enter the annular cavity. Due to the design of the water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13, the high-pressure water flow supplied by the external high-pressure water source will enter the annular cavity from the water inlet 12 and then be discharged from the water outlet 13. This process has three functions. The first is that the water flow in the annular cavity will carry away the lye on the outer side wall of the main shaft 4, preventing the lye from corroding and damaging the first elastic sealing ring 2, the reduction gearbox 6, and the reduction motor 5. The second is that the water flow in the annular cavity can carry away the heat of the main shaft 4, reducing the temperature of the main shaft 4, and thus ensuring that the first elastic sealing ring 2, the reduction gearbox 6, and the reduction motor 5 will not be overheated, improving the service life of the reduction motor 5, the first elastic sealing ring 2, and the second elastic sealing ring 3. The third is the lubrication function, that is, the water can form a water film on the outer side wall of the main shaft 4, making it not easy to generate wear when slidingly contacting the first elastic sealing ring 2 and the second elastic sealing ring 3.
[0038] Both the first annular groove 10 and the second annular groove 11 are provided with a plurality of equidistant grooves along the pipe length direction of the casing 1. The annular cavity is located between the first annular groove 10 closest to the second annular groove 11 and the second annular groove 11 closest to the first annular groove 10; the design of multiple first elastic sealing rings 2 and second elastic sealing rings 3 can improve the sealing performance of the main shaft 4.
[0039] In this embodiment, there are two first annular grooves 10 and two second annular grooves 11; the distance between two adjacent first annular grooves 10 is the same as the distance between two adjacent second annular grooves 11; the distance between the first annular groove 10 closest to the second annular groove 11 and the second annular groove 11 closest to the first annular groove 10 is greater than the distance between two adjacent first annular grooves 10; the annular cavity has sufficient length to ensure that the high-pressure water flow has sufficient contact area with the main shaft 4; the adjacent two first annular grooves 10 have appropriate spacing, and the adjacent two second annular grooves 11 have appropriate spacing to ensure the sealing effect of the first elastic sealing ring 2 and the second elastic sealing ring 3 on the main shaft 4.
[0040] The cross-sectional shape of the first annular groove 10 is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the second annular groove 11. The outer wall of the first elastic sealing ring 2 can closely adhere to the inner wall of the first annular groove 10, and the outer wall of the second elastic sealing ring 3 can closely adhere to the inner wall of the second annular groove 11. This design ensures the sealing effect of the first elastic sealing ring 2 and the second elastic sealing ring 3.
[0041] The groove cross-sectional shapes of both the first annular groove 10 and the second annular groove 11 are polygonal. In this embodiment, the groove cross-sectional shapes of both the first annular groove 10 and the second annular groove 11 are rectangular, and the cross-sectional shapes of both the first elastic sealing ring 2 and the second elastic sealing ring 3 are rectangular; the first elastic sealing ring 2 and the second elastic sealing ring 3 can be in reliable sliding and close contact with the outer sidewall of the main shaft 4.
[0042] The centerlines of the water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13 are collinear, and the centerline of the water inlet 12 is perpendicular to the pipe centerline of the casing 1; the water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13 can be reliably arranged, and the water flowing into the annular cavity from the water inlet 12 can uniformly and quickly fill the annular cavity, ensuring the heat dissipation and the flushing effect on the lye.
[0043] The centerline of the water inlet 12 is arranged in the middle between the first annular groove 10 and the second annular groove 11; the water flowing into the annular cavity from the water inlet 12 can uniformly fill the annular cavity.
[0044] When this water-cooled sealing structure is in use, an external high-pressure water source continuously injects high-pressure water flow into the annular cavity. The water flow in the annular cavity exchanges heat with the main shaft 4 and takes away the lye attached to the main shaft 4. The water flow in the annular cavity flows out from the water outlet 13 to the waste liquid pool.
[0045] In this specification, each embodiment is described in a progressive manner. The key point of each embodiment is to illustrate the differences from other embodiments. For the same or similar parts among the embodiments, reference can be made to each other.
