Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pump cores and relates to a shaft sealing structure of a vacuum pump core. Background Art
[0002] The pump core is the core component of a pump, typically consisting of a shaft and rotor. It is the primary component for generating fluid power. Positioned between the pump body and the motor, the pump core is the pump's power source, converting mechanical energy into fluid energy. The pump core plays a crucial role in the pump's operation, generating dynamic effects such as flow rate, head, and pressure depending on the properties of the liquid and the operating conditions. The quality of the pump core directly impacts the pump's efficiency and stability. Currently, most pump cores on the market use an oil seal between the rotor shaft and the oil pump cover. This seal is susceptible to wear over time, leading to oil leaks and poor sealing and wear resistance.
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, researchers have continuously explored and proposed various solutions. For example, a Chinese patent application discloses an inner cover rotor oil pump [Application No.: 201010191796.5], which includes a pump cover 1, a pump body 2 integrally cast and connected to a front end cover, an outer rotor 3, an inner rotor 4, a screw plug 5, a spring 6, and a plunger valve 7. The plunger valve 7, spring 6, and screw plug 5 are mounted within a pressure-limiting valve hole 101. An oil inlet 100 and an oil inlet chamber 102 are located at the lower left of the rotor hole 108; an oil outlet chamber 107, an oil outlet hole 105, and an oil outlet hole 104 are located at the upper left. The pressure-limiting valve hole 101 communicates with the oil outlet chamber 107 via a valve bottom oil hole 106. A pair of flat squares provided in the hole of the inner rotor 4 provide transmission for the oil pump. However, this solution suffers from poor sealing and wear resistance, as the oil seal and rotor shaft are still susceptible to wear during use, leading to oil leakage. Summary of the Invention

[0029] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a shaft sealing structure of a vacuum pump core includes a pump body 1, a pump cover 2, and a rotor member 3 sleeved in the pump body 1 and rotatably matched with the pump body 1. The rotor shaft 3a at the head of the rotor member 3 is equipped with a coupling 4. The coupling 4 and the rotor shaft 3a are fixed by a connecting structure. An oil pump cover 5 is sleeved between the tail of the coupling 4 and the pump body 1. The rotor shaft 3a at the head of the rotor member 3 passes through the oil pump cover 5, and an annular arrangement is formed between the oil pump cover 5 and the rotor shaft 3a. Space 6. A detachable high-wear-resistant shaft kit 7 and a shaft oil seal structure 8 are installed in the annular placement space 6. The inner wall surface of the high-wear-resistant shaft kit 7 is in contact with the circumferential outer side of the rotor shaft 3a, and the outer wall surface is rotatably matched with the inner wall surface of the shaft oil seal structure 8. A sealing portion 9 is provided between the rotor shafts 3a and the rotor shafts 3a. The circumferential outer side of the shaft oil seal structure 8 is in contact with the inner wall surface of the oil pump cover 5. When the rotor shaft 3a rotates, the shaft oil seal structure 8 remains stationary, and the high-wear-resistant shaft kit 7 rotates synchronously with the rotor shaft 3a.
[0030] In this embodiment, during use, the coupling 4 is connected to the motor, and the high-wear-resistant shaft kit 7 is sleeved on the rotor shaft 3a. The high-wear-resistant shaft kit 7 rotates with the rotor shaft 3a. The shaft oil seal structure 8 fills the gap space between the oil pump cover 5 and the high-wear-resistant shaft kit 7. The high-wear-resistant shaft kit 7 has a carburized coating with higher hardness, which makes the rotor shaft 3a less likely to be worn and improves wear resistance. The rotor shaft 3a and the high-wear-resistant shaft kit 7 are sealed by the sealing part 9. The sealing can be ensured later by replacing the high-wear-resistant shaft kit 7, and the traditional oil seal is replaced with the shaft oil seal structure 8.

[0032] Specifically, the inner and outer sides of the rotor sleeve 7a are provided with a carburized coating. The carburized coating has high hardness and good wear resistance, which makes the rotor shaft 3a not easily worn and improves the wear resistance. Those skilled in the art should understand that carburizing is a metal surface treatment process, which is mainly used for low carbon steel or low alloy steel. The process includes placing the rotor sleeve 7a in a furnace with an active carburizing medium, heating it to 900-950 degrees Celsius, and keeping it warm for a period of time to allow carbon atoms to penetrate into the surface of the steel part, so that the rotor sleeve 7a has a carburized coating.

It has excellent chemical stability, corrosion resistance, sealing, high lubricity and non-stickiness, electrical insulation and good anti-aging resistance, and can be used for a long time in the temperature range of -180°C to 260°C.

The rotor sleeve 7a has a carburized coating with higher hardness, which makes the rotor shaft 3a less likely to be worn and improves wear resistance. The annular groove 3a2 is used to install and fix the O-ring 9a. The O-ring 9a is embedded in the annular groove 3a2 to seal the rotor shaft 3a and the rotor sleeve 7a. The sealing can be ensured by replacing the rotor sleeve 7a later. The traditional oil seal is replaced with a combination of PTFE stainless steel shaft seal 8a and oil seal 8b.

[0049] The rotor sleeve 7a has a carburized coating on its inner and outer sides. The carburized coating has high hardness and good wear resistance, making the rotor shaft 3a less susceptible to wear and improving wear resistance. Those skilled in the art should understand that carburizing is a metal surface treatment process mainly used for low-carbon steel or low-alloy steel. The process includes placing the rotor sleeve 7a in a furnace with an active carburizing medium, heating it to 900-950 degrees Celsius, and keeping it warm for a period of time to allow carbon atoms to penetrate the surface of the steel part, so that the rotor sleeve 7a has a carburized coating.
[0050] During the installation process, one end of the rotor sleeve 7a abuts against the sleeve step 3a1, and the other end abuts against the tail of the coupling 4 to achieve axial fixation at both ends.
