Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of underwater thruster sealing, and particularly relates to an underwater thruster sealing structure. Background Technique

[0002] An underwater thruster is a key component of underwater industrial equipment and entertainment equipment, and its performance directly determines the performance and effect of the whole machine. The main components of the thruster include a motor, a propeller and a duct. As a key component, the cost of the thruster also accounts for a large proportion in the whole machine. The propeller has a simple structure, reliable operation and high efficiency, and is the main thruster of boats and ships. Modern boat and ship propellers mostly adopt structural forms such as a large disk area ratio, moderate inclination, radial unequal pitch and more blades to reduce the possible cavitation, erosion, noise and excessive exciting force when working in the uneven wake flow field at the stern. The air propeller used for a fully air-cushioned vehicle is similar to a fixed pitch propeller, and uses the reaction force of air to push the boat forward.

[0003] The authorized announcement number CN211009885U discloses an underwater thruster main shaft sealing structure, which includes a lower sealing kit, a lower sealing ring, a middle sealing kit, a middle sealing ring, an upper sealing kit, an underwater thruster main shaft and a sealing grease end cover. The lower sealing kit is sleeved on the surface of the underwater thruster main shaft. An upper mounting groove for mounting the lower sealing ring is opened in the upper part inside the lower sealing kit. The lower sealing ring is sleeved on the surface of the underwater thruster main shaft, and the lower sealing ring is installed inside the lower mounting groove. The upper part of the lower sealing kit is provided with a middle sealing kit sleeved on the surface of the underwater thruster main shaft. An intermediate mounting groove for mounting the intermediate sealing ring is opened inside the intermediate sealing kit. The intermediate sealing ring is sleeved on the surface of the underwater thruster main shaft. The utility model has a simple structure, good sealing performance, long service life, convenient disassembly and assembly, and is convenient for later replacement of parts.
