Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fans, and particularly relates to a sealing device for a fan. Background Art

[0002] Due to explosion-proof reasons, some fans generally require an aluminum labyrinth seal with comb teeth at the casing shaft seal position. This type of seal has two problems: first, in order to ensure the sealing effect, the gap between the fan shaft and the comb teeth is small. When the fan is running, the gap between the fan shaft and the comb teeth will change due to various unpredictable reasons, resulting in wear. Wear over time will affect the sealing effect and thus affect the normal operation of the equipment. However, the comb teeth are inside the aluminum labyrinth seal, and wear is not easy to detect when it occurs. Second, the more comb teeth, the better the sealing effect, and the longer the sealing length of the aluminum labyrinth seal, while the distance between the casing and the bearing box is limited. If the aluminum labyrinth seal itself is long, it will cause a problem of being close to the bearing box. Since the aluminum labyrinth seal is connected to the casing, some fans with higher temperatures will transfer heat to the aluminum labyrinth seal. The aluminum labyrinth seal is close to the bearing box, and the heat will be transferred to the bearing box through radiation, causing the bearing temperature to rise, affecting the service life of the bearing.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fan sealing device with an aluminum labyrinth seal having good sealing effect and high safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, the utility model provides a sealing device for a fan.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows: a sealing device for a fan, located in a fan, the fan comprising a casing, a fan shaft, a bearing and a bearing box, the bearing being mounted in the bearing box, the sealing device for the fan comprising an aluminum labyrinth seal, a labyrinth seal temperature sensor, a controller and a water supply mechanism, the aluminum labyrinth seal, the fan shaft and the bearing being coaxial, the aluminum labyrinth seal being detachably connected to the casing on the side away from the bearing;

[0006] The aluminum labyrinth seal comprises a sealing body, a water groove is provided on the circumference of the sealing body, a temperature sensing mounting hole is provided on the sealing body, and the sealing body is detachably connected to the labyrinth seal temperature sensing element through the temperature sensing mounting hole;

[0007] The aluminum labyrinth seal also includes a water tank inlet pipe and a water tank outlet pipe, both of which are connected to the water tank, and the water supply mechanism is respectively connected to the water tank inlet pipe and the water tank outlet pipe, and the labyrinth seal temperature sensing component and the water supply mechanism are both communicatively connected to the controller.

[0008] Preferably, the water tank is annular and has a circular cross-section.

[0009] Preferably, the temperature sensing mounting hole is a threaded hole, and the sealing element body is threadedly connected to the labyrinth sealing temperature sensing element through the temperature sensing mounting hole.

[0010] Preferably, the water supply mechanism includes a water pump, an input pipe and an output pipe, the two ends of the water pump are connected to the input pipe and the output pipe respectively, the end of the input pipe away from the water pump is connected to the water inlet pipe of the sink, and the end of the output pipe away from the water pump is connected to the water outlet pipe of the sink, and the water pump is communicatively connected to the controller.

[0011] Preferably, the water supply mechanism further comprises a water pipe condensation member, which is detachably connected to the water inlet pipe of the sink, and the water pipe condensation member is communicatively connected to the controller.

[0012] Preferably, a warning light is further included, which is installed on the casing and is communicatively connected to the controller.

[0013] Preferably, a bearing temperature sensor is further included, wherein the bearing temperature sensor is attached to the bearing box and is communicatively connected to the controller.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are:

[0015] (1) The labyrinth seal temperature sensor is connected to the controller for communication, which effectively solves the problem that the aluminum labyrinth seal is not easy to detect. At the same time, it reduces the risk of heat from the casing being transferred to the bearing, ensures the safe operation of the fan, reduces the failure rate and increases the service life of the fan. The length of the aluminum labyrinth seal itself can be designed to be longer without worrying about damage to the bearing. It has good sealing effect and high safety. Opening a water groove in the aluminum labyrinth seal to pass cooling water can achieve a better cooling effect.

[0016] (2) The temperature sensing installation hole is a threaded hole, and the sealing body is threadedly connected to the labyrinth sealing temperature sensing element. By changing the screw-in depth of the thread, the labyrinth sealing temperature sensing element can be effectively installed for fans of different specifications and models, thereby increasing the scope of application;

[0017] (3) The bearing temperature sensor is fitted with the bearing box, and the bearing temperature sensor is connected to the controller for communication. The controller compares the temperature of the bearing temperature sensor with the temperature of the labyrinth seal temperature sensor. Thus, it is possible to determine whether the bearing temperature is too high due to a failure of the aluminum labyrinth seal without disassembling the casing. This facilitates targeted preparations before disassembling the casing, thereby improving work efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The sealing device for the fan includes an aluminum labyrinth seal 1, a labyrinth seal temperature sensor 2, a controller and a water supply mechanism. The aluminum labyrinth seal 1, the fan shaft 4 and the bearing 5 are coaxial. The side of the aluminum labyrinth seal 1 away from the bearing 5 is detachably connected to the casing 3.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the aluminum labyrinth seal 1 includes a seal body 11 , which is circumferentially provided with a water groove 12 , and a temperature sensing mounting hole 15 , through which the seal body 11 is detachably connected to the labyrinth seal temperature sensing element 2 .

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the aluminum labyrinth seal 1 also includes a water tank water inlet pipe 13 and a water tank water outlet pipe 14, the water tank water inlet pipe 13 and the water tank water outlet pipe 14 are both connected to the water tank 12, the water supply mechanism is respectively connected to the water tank water inlet pipe 13 and the water tank water outlet pipe 14, and the labyrinth seal temperature sensing component 2 and the water supply mechanism are both communicatively connected to the controller.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the water tank 12 is annular and has a circular cross section.

[0038] The temperature sensing mounting hole 15 is a threaded hole, and the sealing element body 11 is threadedly connected to the labyrinth sealing temperature sensing element 2 through the temperature sensing mounting hole 15 .

[0039] The water supply mechanism includes a water pump, an input pipe and an output pipe. The two ends of the water pump are connected to the input pipe and the output pipe respectively. The end of the input pipe away from the water pump is connected to the water inlet pipe 13 of the water tank, and the end of the output pipe away from the water pump is connected to the water outlet pipe 14 of the water tank. The water pump is communicatively connected to the controller.
