AI Technical Summary
When the existing pneumatic balanced marine oil lubricated stern sealing device is relatively high in the sealing oil cavity, the third sealing ring is easily pushed open, causing the lubricating oil to enter the sealing isolation cavity and leak, contaminating the environment.
A sealing component consisting of a mounting base ring, a tapered rubber ring, a rubber base ring, annular rubber cover, annular rubber airbag and annular spring is arranged between the sealing oil cavity and the sealing isolation cavity. The elastic force of the annular spring makes the rubber cover and the airbag tightly close to the stern shaft sleeve to prevent the oil in the sealing oil cavity from entering the isolation cavity.
It effectively prevents oil from entering the sealing isolation chamber, reduces the probability of lubricating oil leakage, and reduces the risk of environmental pollution.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of stern shaft sealing, in particular to a pneumatically balanced marine oil-lubricated stern shaft sealing device. Background Art
[0002] Currently, most ships use an oil lubrication system for stern shaft seals, achieving sealing through the pressure differential between the oil and seawater. As the ship's draft increases, the pressure differential increases, increasing friction and wear between the seal and the stern shaft sleeve. If the seal fails, large amounts of seawater can rapidly intrude, damaging the stern tube and stern bearing, and causing lubricating oil to leak into the sea and rivers, polluting the environment. In the existing patent application with application number CN202321891801.2, a pneumatically balanced marine oil-lubricated stern shaft sealing device is proposed. Although the sealing oil chamber and the air pressure balance chamber are arranged in sequence from the hull to the propeller end, and the air pressure balance chamber is connected to the air pressure source, when the draft of the ship changes, the air pressure in the air pressure balance chamber is adjusted by the air pressure source to adjust the pressure difference between the air pressure balance chamber and the water side, so that the sealing ring works under a smaller load state, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the wear rate of the sealing ring, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the stern tube and stern bearing, and the risk of lubricating oil polluting the environment; its The sealed oil chamber is connected to the oil and gas controller. When the air pressure in the air pressure balance chamber decreases, the oil pressure in the sealed oil chamber is reduced through the oil and gas controller to reduce the pressure difference between the air pressure balance chamber and the sealed oil chamber, thereby reducing the wear rate of the sealing ring between the air pressure balance chamber and the sealed oil chamber, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the risk of lubricating oil in the oil pressure chamber being immersed in the air pressure balance chamber. However, when the pressure in the sealed oil chamber is high, the third sealing ring on it is easily pushed away, and then the oil in the sealed oil chamber is easily entered into the sealed isolation chamber, and finally the oil in the sealed isolation chamber is easy to push the fourth sealing ring away and leak out, so it needs to be improved.
