Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of mechanical seals and relates to a double-end-face mechanical seal. Background Art

[0002] A mechanical seal is a device used to prevent the leakage of fluids or gases. It is primarily used in rotating equipment such as pumps, compressors, and agitators. A mechanical seal consists of two main components: a stationary ring (mounted on the equipment housing) and a rotating ring (rotating with the shaft). These two rings come into close contact and form a sealing surface. A double-end mechanical seal has two sets of stationary rings and two sets of rotating rings.

[0003] In existing double-end mechanical seals, the dynamic and static rings rely on spring-generated sealing pressure to maintain a tight fit. However, due to structural design, the medium may come into contact with the spring, causing it to clog and lose its elasticity, thus posing the risk of seal failure. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a double-end mechanical seal includes: a sleeve 100, on which a first dynamic ring 110 and a second dynamic ring 120 are mounted, and the first dynamic ring 110 and the second dynamic ring 120 are both circumferentially fixedly connected to the sleeve 100; a sealing disk 200, which is sleeved on the sleeve 100 and is equipped with a first static ring 210, a second static ring 220 and a plurality of springs 230, the first static ring 210 is sealed in contact with the first dynamic ring 110, and the second static ring 220 is sealed in contact with the second dynamic ring 120, and each spring 230 is arranged around the sleeve 100, and both ends of the spring 230 are respectively in contact with the first static ring 210 and the second static ring 220 and apply sealing pressure to the two; the sleeve 10 0 and the sealing disk 200. An annular cavity is formed between the annular cavity and is divided into a first area 300, an intermediate area 400 and a second area 500 along its axial direction. The first movable ring 110 and the first static ring 210 are in the first area 300, each spring 230 is in the intermediate area 400, and the second movable ring 120 and the second static ring 220 are in the second area 500; the first area 300 is set to correspond to the medium side, and a first auxiliary sealing ring 310 is provided between the first movable ring 110 and the sleeve 100 and between the first static ring 210 and the sealing disk 200. The sealing surface formed by the first movable ring 110 and the first static ring 210 cooperates with the two first auxiliary sealing rings 310 to block the path from the medium side to the intermediate area 400.

[0023] The sleeve 100 is sleeved on the rotating shaft and can rotate together with the rotating shaft. The first movable ring 110 and the second movable ring 120 rotate together with the sleeve 100 to ensure that the first movable ring 110 and the second movable ring 120 can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft during the operation of the equipment; the sealing disk 200 is sleeved on the sleeve 100, and the sealing disk 200 is used to be fixedly connected to the housing of the equipment. The sealing disk 200 remains stationary relative to the rotating shaft. The first static ring 210 and the second static ring 220 are tightly fitted with the first dynamic ring 110 and the second dynamic ring 120 respectively under the action of the sealing pressure provided by the spring 230, thereby forming a sealing surface between the sleeve 100 and the sealing disk 200.

[0024] In this design, an annular cavity is formed between the sleeve 100 and the sealing disk 200. This annular cavity is divided into three regions along the axial direction: a first region 300, a middle region 400, and a second region 500. The first dynamic ring 110 and the first stationary ring 210 are located in the first region 300, the spring 230 is located in the middle region 400, and the second dynamic ring 120 and the second stationary ring 220 are located in the second region 500. The first region 300 corresponds to the medium side.

[0025] Among them, the first auxiliary sealing ring 310 between the first dynamic ring 110 and the sleeve 100 is used to seal the gap between the first dynamic ring 110 and the sleeve 100 (that is, the medium cannot enter the middle area 400 from the gap), and the first auxiliary sealing ring 310 between the first static ring 210 and the sealing disk 200 is used to seal the gap between the first static ring 210 and the sealing disk 200 (that is, the medium cannot enter the middle area 400 from the gap). The sealing surface formed by the first static ring 210 and the first dynamic ring 110 is used to seal the gap between the sleeve 100 and the sealing disk 200 in the first area 300 (that is, the medium cannot enter the middle area 400 from the gap). Through the above design, the path from the medium side to the middle area 400 is completely blocked, so the medium on the medium side cannot enter the middle area 400, thereby protecting the spring 230 from contamination.

[0026] Based on the above embodiment, the first movable ring 110 and the second movable ring 120 are both circumferentially fixedly connected to the sleeve 100 via corresponding transmission pins. To ensure that the first movable ring 110 and the second movable ring 120 can stably rotate synchronously with the sleeve 100, both are circumferentially fixedly connected to the sleeve 100 via their respective transmission pins.

[0027] Based on the above embodiment, the two ends of the middle area 400 are respectively connected to part of the first area 300 and part of the second area 500, and the sealing disk 200 is provided with a water inlet 240 and a water outlet 250, and the water inlet 240 and the water outlet 250 are both connected to the middle area 400.

[0028] When in use, this mechanical seal requires cooling water to circulate within the seal through the water inlet 240 and the water outlet 250. The ends of the intermediate region 400 communicate with a portion of the first region 300 and a portion of the second region 500, respectively. Furthermore, the sealing disk 200 is provided with a water inlet 240 and a water outlet 250, both of which communicate with the intermediate region 400. This design allows for the introduction of coolant or cleaning fluid through the intermediate region 400, allowing it to enter both the first region 300 and the second region 500, helping to cool and clean both sealing surfaces and extending the service life of the seal.

[0029] On the basis of the above embodiment, a second auxiliary sealing ring 510 is provided between the second static ring 220 and the sealing disk 200, and between the second dynamic ring 120 and the shaft sleeve 100. The sealing surface formed by the second dynamic ring 120 and the second static ring 220 cooperates with the two second auxiliary sealing rings 510 to block the path from the middle area 400 to the atmosphere side.

[0030] To further enhance sealing performance, a second auxiliary seal ring 510 is installed between the second stationary ring 220 and the sealing disk 200, and between the second dynamic ring 120 and the shaft sleeve 100. This design effectively blocks the path from the intermediate region 400 to the atmosphere, preventing impurities from the external environment from entering the sealed area. It also prevents coolant or cleaning fluid from leaking to the atmosphere during cleaning. Furthermore, since the path from the intermediate region 400 to the medium is blocked, coolant or cleaning fluid is prevented from leaking to the medium during cleaning.

[0031] On the basis of the above embodiment, it further includes a positioning block 600 and a positioning screw 610. The positioning block 600 is positioned and connected to the sleeve 100 through the positioning screw 610. The positioning block 600 is fixedly connected to the sealing disk 200 to locate the relative position of the sealing disk 200 and the sleeve 100.

[0032] To ensure the accurate positioning of the sealing disc 200 relative to the shaft sleeve 100, this embodiment also includes a positioning block 600 and a positioning screw 610. The positioning block 600 is secured to the shaft sleeve 100 via the positioning screw 610. The positioning block 600 is also connected to the sealing disc 200, thereby achieving precise positioning of the sealing disc 200 relative to the shaft sleeve 100. This structure simplifies the installation process and ensures the accuracy of the mechanical seal.

[0033] Based on the above embodiment, a fastening ring 700 is mounted on the sleeve 100. The fastening ring 700 is provided with a set screw 130 for connecting to the rotating shaft. The set screw 130 passes through the sleeve 100. The fastening ring 700 is actually a ring-shaped structure mounted on the sleeve 100. The sleeve 100 is circumferentially fixed to the rotating shaft by the set screw 130 on the fastening ring 700. In the actual structure, the second dynamic ring 120 is mounted on the fastening ring 700.
