[0031] See Figure 1 , the present invention provides a supercharger compressor end sealing structure and a supercharger, including a hollow bearing body 1;

[0032] At the center position of the inner cavity of the bearing body 1, there is a turbine rotating shaft 13 distributed horizontally;

[0033] On the circumferential outer wall of the turbine rotating shaft 13, a compressor impeller 11, a shaft seal sleeve 9, a thrust washer 6 and a thrust spacer sleeve 4 are respectively installed from left to right in a circumferential distribution;

[0034] The circumferential outer wall of the shaft seal sleeve 9 is surrounded by an oil sealing cover 8 and an oil baffle 3 mounted thereon.

[0035] The oil sealing cover 8 and the oil baffle 3 are respectively located at the left and right ends of the shaft seal sleeve 9.

[0036] A thrust bearing plate 5 is mounted on the circumferential outer wall of the thrust spacer sleeve 4.

[0037] The thrust bearing plate 5 is mounted on the right thrust mounting surface of the inner cavity of the bearing housing 1.

[0038] Among them, the circumferential outer wall of the oil sealing cover 8 is threadedly connected to the inner side wall of the bearing housing 1.

[0039] Among them, at least one rubber ring sealing groove 801 is provided around the circumferential outer wall of the oil sealing cover 8.

[0040] An annular sealing rubber ring 2 is provided in each rubber ring sealing groove 801, and the sealing rubber ring 2 and the rubber ring sealing groove 801 are elastically tension-connected.

[0041] In the present utility model, specifically in implementation, the sealing rubber ring 2 (specifically the outer ring) is threadedly connected to the inner side wall of the bearing housing 1 to form a spiral seal connection.

[0042] In the present utility model, specifically in implementation, regarding the elastic tension connection between the sealing rubber ring 2 and the rubber ring sealing groove 801, the specific structural design is as follows:

[0043] The inner ring of the sealing rubber ring 2 is elastically tension-connected to the bottom of the rubber ring sealing groove 801.

[0044] Specifically in implementation, the radial cross-sectional shape of the sealing rubber ring 2 is circular or rectangular.

[0045] It should be noted that for the present utility model, by fixing the sealing rubber ring 2 in the rubber ring sealing groove 801 of the oil sealing cover 8 and elastically tensioning and snapping it in, the connection between the sealing rubber ring 2 and the bearing housing 1 is ensured to be tight and sealed.

[0046] In the present utility model, specifically in implementation, the circumferential outer walls of the oil sealing cover 8 and the thrust bearing plate 5 are in close contact with the right side wall of the inner cavity of the bearing housing 1.

[0047] A hollow oil baffle oil cavity 71 is formed between the right side of the oil baffle 3 and the left side of the thrust bearing plate 5.

[0048] In the present utility model, specifically in implementation, a concave groove is provided around the right side of the oil sealing cover 8.

[0049] A hollow oil and gas mixing cavity 72 is formed between the right side of the oil sealing cover 8 and the left side of the oil baffle 3.

[0050] At the lower end of the inner cavity of the bearing body 1, a hollow oil return cavity 73 is provided;

[0051] Specifically, the lower end of the oil-gas mixing cavity 72 is communicated with the left end of the oil return cavity 73;

[0052] In the present utility model, specifically, at the upper right part of the bearing body 1, a hollow oil inlet passage 14 is provided;

[0053] At the top of the oil inlet passage 14, an oil injection port for injecting lubricating oil is provided;

[0054] The lower end of the oil inlet passage 14 is communicated with the installation space where the thrust bearing plate 5 is located through a horizontally distributed main oil passage 7;

[0055] In the present utility model, specifically, the outer circumferential wall of the oil seal cover 8 is threadedly connected to the inner side wall of the bearing body 1, and the specific structural design is as follows:

[0056] The outer circumferential wall of the oil seal cover 8 is provided with an external thread in a surrounding manner;

[0057] On the inner cavity side wall of the bearing body 1, at a position corresponding to the external thread on the outer circumferential wall of the oil seal cover 8, an internal thread is provided in a surrounding manner;

[0058] The internal thread on the inner cavity side wall of the bearing body 1 is threadedly connected to the external thread on the outer circumferential wall of the oil seal cover 8.

[0059] It should be noted that for the present utility model, it is possible to increase the volume of the oil-gas mixing cavity 72 without changing the volume of the bearing body. Specifically, the external thread of the oil seal cover 8 and the internal thread of the bearing body 1 are tightly connected by threaded connection, thereby reducing the installation space and structurally expanding the volume of the oil-gas mixing cavity 72.

[0060] It should be noted that for the present utility model, by increasing the volume of the oil-gas mixing cavity 72, the oil content of the lubricating oil in the cavity is reduced, so that the leaked lubricating oil can gather as soon as possible, and enters the oil return cavity 73 through the diversion channel between the oil-gas mixing cavity 72 and the oil return cavity 73; in addition, by further expanding the volume of the oil return cavity 73, the height of the lubricating oil level in the oil return cavity 73 can be reduced, and the invasion of the lubricating oil on the pressure end sealing structure can be reduced.

[0061] In the present utility model, it should be noted that a plurality of turbine blades are installed on the compressor impeller 11.

[0062] In the present utility model, specifically, the left side of the shaft seal sleeve 9 is in contact with the right side of the compressor impeller 11;

[0063] The right side of the shaft seal sleeve 9 is in contact with the left side of the thrust washer 6;

[0064] On the right side of the thrust washer 6, it contacts the left side of the thrust spacer sleeve 4;

[0065] In the present utility model, specifically, a hollow compressor impeller back air cavity 12 is formed between the right side of the compressor impeller 11 and the left side of the oil seal cover 8.

[0066] In the present utility model, specifically, at least one seal ring mounting groove is circumferentially provided on the outer wall of the shaft seal sleeve 9 at a position corresponding to the inner hole wall of the oil seal cover 8.

[0067] One compression end seal ring 10 is arranged in each seal ring mounting groove.

[0068] Specifically, the compression end seal ring 10 and the seal ring mounting groove are in interference fit.

[0069] Specifically, the radial cross-sectional shape of the compression end seal ring 10 is rectangular.

[0070] It should be noted that for the present utility model, an oil retaining and oil returning labyrinth path (i.e., a lubricating oil flow path with multiple bends and distributions) is added: around the thrust bearing plate 5, the thrust washer 6, the oil baffle 3, the shaft seal sleeve 9 and the oil seal cover 8, an oil baffle and an oil returning labyrinth path are designed, so that the lubricating oil cannot directly contact the compression end seal ring 10 structure, thereby reducing the invasion of the lubricating oil on the sealing structure.

[0071] It should be noted that for the present utility model, shaft sealing and air sealing can be carried out. Specifically: arranging a single layer or multiple layers of compression end seal rings 10 on the shaft seal sleeve 9 can effectively prevent the lubricating oil from leaking out to the compressor impeller back air cavity 12 between the compressor impeller 11 and the oil seal cover 8. Conversely, it can reduce the air at the compressor end from entering the oil-gas mixing cavity 72 through the compression end seal ring 10.

[0072] It should be noted that for the present utility model, a diversion and flow limiting technology design is adopted, and the specific description is as follows:

[0073] First, the thrust spacer sleeve 4, the thrust bearing plate 5 and the thrust washer 6 form a first-stage flow limiting seal structure to control the lubricating oil flow rate entering the thrust bearing plate 5 from the main oil passage 7 and leaking out through the thrust washer 6.

[0074] Second, in the oil baffle oil cavity 71, through the flow limiting effect of the thrust washer 6 on the oil discharged from the thrust bearing plate 5 and the diversion effect of the oil baffle 3, a first-stage diversion seal structure is formed to reduce the lubricating oil flow rate entering the oil-gas mixing cavity 72.

[0075] Third, a diversion and flow-limiting device is provided in the oil-gas mixing chamber 72. By giving play to the diversion and flow-limiting functions of the oil sealing cover 8, the oil baffle 3, and the shaft gland 9, the flow direction and speed of the lubricating oil are controlled to form a second-stage diversion and flow-limiting sealing structure, so that the lubricating oil cannot penetrate into the pressure-end sealing structure.

[0076] Among them, through the flow-limiting function, the flow rate of the lubricating oil can be restricted, reducing the impact and immersion on the sealing structure. And through the diversion function, the flow path of the lubricating oil can be regulated, reducing the contact with the sealing structure (specifically, the pressure-end sealing ring 10).

[0077] Based on the supercharger compressor-end sealing structure provided by the present utility model described above, the present utility model also provides a supercharger, including the supercharger compressor-end sealing structure as described above.

[0078] Specifically, the supercharger includes: a compressor volute, a bearing housing 1, and a turbine housing;

[0079] The left and right ends of the bearing housing 1 are respectively and hermetically connected to the hollow compressor volute and the hollow turbine housing.

[0080] It should be noted that the connection structure design and working principle of the bearing housing 1 with the compressor volute and the turbine housing are well-known technologies that are mature in the prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0081] Compared with the prior art, the supercharger compressor-end sealing structure and the supercharger provided by the present utility model have the following beneficial effects:

[0082] 1. By using threaded connection and cooperating with a sealing rubber ring, the present utility model increases the oil-blocking and oil-returning labyrinth paths, which can increase the volume of the oil-gas mixing chamber, thereby improving the sealing ability of the supercharger compressor end. In this way, the invasion of the lubricating oil on the pressure-end sealing structure can be greatly reduced, and the anti-lubricating oil immersion ability is improved.

[0083] 2. The present utility model adopts technologies such as diversion and flow limitation, which can effectively control the flow direction and speed of the lubricating oil, reduce the influence of the lubricating oil on the compressor-end seal, improve the sealing effect of the shaft seal, reduce leakage, and lower the leakage rate.

[0084] 3. The utility model applies a threaded connection with a sealing rubber ring to the oil-gas mixing chamber, which can expand the volume of the oil-gas mixing chamber while keeping the volume of the bearing body unchanged, thereby increasing the capacity of the oil-gas mixing chamber and further improving the sealing ability of the compressor end of the supercharger. This can reduce the pressure change in the oil-gas mixing chamber and reduce the loss of the sealing structure. Since the volume of the oil-gas mixing chamber is increased, the ability to resist lubricating oil immersion is improved, and the invasion of lubricating oil on the sealing structure is reduced, the shaft seal can be better protected and the service life can be extended. In addition, the expansion of the volume can reduce the pressure change in the oil-gas mixing chamber, reduce the loss of the sealing structure, and improve the stability and reliability of the sealing ability.

[0085] In terms of specific implementation, due to the advanced nature of the utility model, it can be widely used in the fields of superchargers. In the field of superchargers, by applying the utility model, the performance and efficiency of the supercharger can be improved, making it more stable and reliable. Superchargers are widely used in the fields of internal combustion engines, generators, ships, etc., which can improve power output and combustion efficiency, reduce energy consumption and environmental pollution. By improving the sealing ability of the compressor end of the supercharger, the normal operation of the supercharger can be guaranteed, and its service life and reliability can be improved. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the utility model, several improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
