[0002] A carbon ring seal structure of a centrifugal compressor is a high-performance sealing solution, mainly used for high-speed rotating equipment such as centrifugal compressors, turbomachinery, steam turbines, etc. This sealing structure uses a ring-shaped seal made of carbon material, usually called a carbon ring or a carbon seal ring, to maintain stable sealing performance in high-speed rotation and high-temperature environments.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN214662015U discloses a carbon ring seal structure of a centrifugal compressor, including a shaft sleeve. A plurality of annular grooves are provided inside the shaft sleeve. Carbon rings are provided at the annular grooves of the shaft sleeve. An arc-shaped groove is provided on one side outside the shaft sleeve. A cylindrical groove is provided at one side of the arc-shaped groove of the shaft sleeve. A rotating column is fixedly connected at the cylindrical groove of the shaft sleeve.

[0034] Embodiment 1

[0035] As Figure 1 - Figure 2 shown, this embodiment provides a carbon ring seal structure for a centrifugal compressor, including a first shaft sleeve 1 and a second shaft sleeve 2. First, the first shaft sleeve 1 and the second shaft sleeve 2 are placed in appropriate positions. Two limiting grooves 3 are respectively provided inside the first shaft sleeve 1 and the second shaft sleeve 2. Carbon ring members 4 are slidably connected inside the limiting grooves 3. Then, the carbon ring members 4 are placed into the limiting grooves 3. A sealing ring 5 is slidably connected inside the limiting grooves 3. First, the sealing rings 5 are respectively placed into the limiting grooves 3. The outer part of the sealing ring 5 is in contact with the outer part of the carbon ring member 4. At this time, the carbon ring member 4 is in contact with the sealing ring 5. An external component is placed in the middle of the first shaft sleeve 1 and the second shaft sleeve 2. The carbon ring member 4 is forced to press the sealing ring 5 inward. Chambers 6 are respectively provided inside the first shaft sleeve 1 and the second shaft sleeve 2. A limiting plate 9 is slidably connected inside the chamber 6. One side of the outer part of the limiting plate 9 is fixedly connected with a resisting column 10. When the sealing ring 5 is stressed, it will press the resisting column 10 inward.

[0036] Embodiment 2

[0037] As Figure 2 - Figure 3As shown, the components that are the same or corresponding to those in the first embodiment are labeled with the corresponding reference numerals in the first embodiment. For the sake of simplicity, only the differences from the first embodiment will be described below. The differences between the second embodiment and the first embodiment are as follows:

[0038] A telescopic component is arranged inside the cavity 6. The telescopic component includes a rubber column 7. One side of the outside of the rubber column 7 is fixedly connected to one side inside the cavity 6, and the other side of the rubber column 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting plate 9 away from the abutting column 10. After the abutting column 10 is stressed, the rubber column 7 is squeezed inward through the limiting plate 9. A spring 8 is sleeved outside the rubber column 7, and at the same time, the spring 8 is also stressed and compressed. One end of the spring 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rubber column 7, and the other end of the spring 8 is fixedly connected to one side inside the cavity 6. After being stressed and compressed, the spring 8 will absorb the external force and generate a reaction force on the limiting plate 9.

[0039] The telescopic component can adjust the abutting column 10. The outside of the abutting column 10 is in contact with the outside of the sealing ring 5. The outside of the abutting column 10 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cavity 6, so that the abutting column 10 presses the sealing ring 5 outward, so as to be in closer contact with the carbon ring part 4. Under the elastic action of the spring 8, when the carbon ring part 4 wears, the carbon ring part 4 can be kept in close contact with the external part, avoiding the poor sealing effect caused by wear.

[0040] Embodiment Three

[0041] As Figure 3 - Figure 4 shown, the components that are the same or corresponding to those in the first embodiment are labeled with the corresponding reference numerals in the first embodiment. For the sake of simplicity, only the differences from the first embodiment will be described below. The differences between the third embodiment and the first embodiment are as follows:

[0042] A positioning component is arranged outside the first sleeve 1. The positioning component can assist in the installation of the first sleeve 1 and the second sleeve 2. The positioning component includes two positioning pins 11. One side of the two positioning pins 11 is respectively fixedly connected to the outside of the right side of the first sleeve 1. Two positioning holes 12 are opened on the left side of the second sleeve 2. The outside of the positioning pin 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning hole 12. The positioning pin 11 is inserted into the inside of the positioning hole 12. Installation grooves 13 are opened on the front and back sides of the first sleeve 1 and the second sleeve 2. Fixing bolts 14 are respectively threadedly connected to the inside of the front and back sides of the first sleeve 1. The outside of the fixing bolt 14 is threadedly connected to the inside of the second sleeve 2. Then the fixing bolt 14 is inserted into the inside of the first sleeve 1 and the second sleeve 2. A fixing nut 15 is threadedly connected to the outside of the fixing bolt 14. The fixing nut 15 is used for fixing. The outside of the fixing nut 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the installation groove 13. Leakage holes 16 are opened in the inside of the first sleeve 1 and the second sleeve 2, reducing the relative displacement between the carbon ring part 4 and the connecting part, reducing wear, and improving the carbon ring life.

[0043] Working Steps

[0044] Step 1: First, place the first bushing 1 and the second bushing 2 in appropriate positions. First, place the sealing rings 5 into the inner parts of the limiting grooves 3 respectively, and then place the carbon ring parts 4 into the inner parts of the limiting grooves 3. At this time, the carbon ring parts 4 are in contact with the sealing rings 5. Then, insert the positioning pins 11 into the inner parts of the positioning holes 12, and then insert the fixing bolts 14 into the first bushing 1 and the second bushing 2, and fix them with the fixing nuts 15.

[0045] Step 2: Then, place the external part into the middle of the first bushing 1 and the second bushing 2. At this time, the carbon ring parts 4 are forced to squeeze the sealing rings 5 inward. When the sealing rings 5 are stressed, they will squeeze the abutting columns 10 inward. After the abutting columns 10 are stressed, they will squeeze the rubber columns 7 inward through the limiting plates 9. At the same time, the springs 8 will also be stressed and compressed. After the springs 8 are stressed and compressed, they will absorb the external force and generate a reaction force on the limiting plates 9, so that the abutting columns 10 will push the sealing rings 5 outward, so as to be in closer contact with the carbon ring parts 4.

[0046] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
