Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bearing box (body) sealing, and in particular discloses an oil leakage prevention device. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, the external output shaft of the bearing box (body) of many equipment is sealed with a skeleton oil seal to prevent external water and dust from entering the bearing body and to prevent the lubricating oil of the bearing body from leaking to the outside.

[0003] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the existing skeleton oil seal structure includes a bearing sleeve 3, a bearing gland 1 and a skeleton seal 2. After research, it was found that this skeleton oil seal structure is prone to leakage, mainly due to the following reasons:

[0004] The main reason is that, on the one hand, the oil stirred by the bearing 5 splashes onto the bearing cover 1, and then the flowing oil 6 drips onto the main shaft 4 and is partially adsorbed on the main shaft 4. On the other hand, the oil 6 stirred by the bearing 5 flows directly from the end near the skeleton oil seal 2, and there is a thick layer of oil 6 on the entire main shaft 4. Observation with specialized equipment found that the thickness of the oil 6 reached about 10mm.

[0005] In the existing technology, many mechanical products, especially pumps and fans, mostly adopt the above structure. Therefore, oil leakage of pumps and fans is relatively common on site, and this problem needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

[0009] The bearing body is sleeved on the bearing;

[0010] A bearing gland, fixedly connected to one end of the bearing body;

[0011] The skeleton seal is vertically arranged between the bearing gland and the bearing retaining sleeve;

[0012] The centrifugal oil pan is arranged transversely between the bearing sleeve and the bearing.

[0013] Furthermore, the centrifugal oil pan includes a pan body and a centrifugal portion extending laterally and obliquely along an outer end portion of the pan body and toward one end of the skeleton seal, and the centrifugal portion extends into the cavity of the skeleton seal.

[0014] Furthermore, a centrifugal oil return inclined hole is provided at the corner between the centrifugal part and the disc body.

[0015] Furthermore, an undercut portion matching the centrifugal portion extends in a vertical direction along the inner end portion of the bearing cover.

[0016] Furthermore, there is a fixed gap between the centrifugal portion and the undercut portion.

[0017] Furthermore, the fixed gap between the centrifugal portion and the undercut portion is 0.3 to 0.5 mm.

[0018] Furthermore, the engagement margin between the undercut portion and the frame seal is 3 to 5 mm.

[0019] Furthermore, the inclination angle of the centrifugal portion is 30 to 45 degrees.

[0020] Furthermore, the inclination angle of the centrifugal oil return inclined hole is 25 to 45 degrees.

[0021] Furthermore, the centrifugal oil return inclined hole has a diameter of 5 to 6 mm.

[0022] The beneficial effects achieved by the utility model are:

[0023] The utility model provides an oil leakage prevention device that utilizes a bearing retainer sleeve, a bearing body, a bearing pressure cover, a skeleton seal, and a centrifugal oil pan. A centrifugal oil pan is added between the bearing and the skeleton oil seal.

[0035] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first embodiment of the present invention proposes an oil leakage prevention device, including a bearing sleeve 10, a bearing body 20, a bearing pressure cover 30, a skeleton seal 40 and a centrifugal oil pan 50, wherein the bearing sleeve 10 is sleeved on the main shaft 60; the bearing body 20 is sleeved on the bearing 70; the bearing pressure cover 30 is fixedly connected to one end of the bearing body 20; the skeleton seal 40 is vertically arranged between the bearing pressure cover 30 and the bearing sleeve 10; and the centrifugal oil pan 50 is horizontally arranged between the bearing sleeve 10 and the bearing. The oil leakage prevention device proposed in this embodiment fixes the bearing pressure cover 30 to one end of the bearing body 20 by screws 80, and by adding a centrifugal oil pan 50 between the bearing 70 and the skeleton oil seal 40, it solves the problem of bearing body oil leakage under simple structural design conditions (typically in water pump fans).

[0037] In the above structure, see Figures 3 to 9The oil leakage prevention device proposed in this embodiment comprises a centrifugal oil pan 50 comprising a pan body 51 and a centrifugal portion 52 extending obliquely from the outer end of the pan body 51 toward one end of the skeleton seal 40. The centrifugal portion 52 extends into the cavity of the skeleton seal 40. This device, in turn, conveys oil splashing onto the bearing gland back into the bearing chamber via the centrifugal portion 52 under the centrifugal force of the pump's rotation, thereby reducing accidents caused by oil-starved operation due to bearing leakage.

[0038] Preferably, see Figures 3 to 9 The oil leakage prevention device proposed in this embodiment features an inclined centrifugal oil return hole 53 at the corner between the centrifugal portion 52 and the disc body 51. An undercut 31, matching the centrifugal portion 52, extends vertically along the inner end of the bearing gland 30. A fixed gap is defined between the centrifugal portion 52 and the undercut 31. The fixed gap between the centrifugal portion 52 and the undercut 31 is 0.3 to 0.5 mm. The margin of engagement between the undercut 31 and the skeleton seal 40 is 3 to 5 mm. The inclination angle of the centrifugal portion 52 is 30 to 45°. The inclination angle of the inclined centrifugal oil return hole 53 is 25 to 45°, and the diameter of the inclined centrifugal oil return hole 53 is 5 to 6 mm. The oil leakage prevention device proposed in this embodiment has a simple structure and excellent sealing effect. Common steel can be used. However, repeated testing has revealed that various dimensions and angles significantly impact oil leakage prevention. Key dimensions are determined below, as shown in Table 1.

[0040]

[0041]

[0042] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the oil leakage prevention device provided in this embodiment has the following working principle:

[0043] A centrifugal oil pan 50 is installed between the bearing 70 and the skeleton oil seal 40. This pan serves three purposes: First, it isolates the oil flowing directly out of the bearing 70, returning the isolated oil directly to the oil chamber below the bearing cavity. Second, the centrifugal oil pan 50, which is angled to return oil splashing onto the bearing gland 30, uses the centrifugal force of the pump's rotation to return it to the bearing chamber. Third, any remaining mist oil that has entered the vicinity of the skeleton oil seal 40 is centrifugally transported to the outer side of the centrifugal oil pan 50, where it is then centrifugally returned to the bearing chamber through the angled centrifugal oil return holes 53.

[0044] This embodiment provides an oil leakage prevention device. Compared to the prior art, it utilizes a bearing retainer sleeve, a bearing body, a bearing gland, a skeleton seal, and a centrifugal oil pan. A centrifugal oil pan is added between the bearing and the skeleton oil seal. The centrifugal oil pan serves three functions: First, it isolates oil flowing directly out of the bearing, returning the isolated oil directly to the oil chamber below the bearing cavity. Second, the centrifugal oil pan, which is angled, returns oil splashing onto the bearing gland to the bearing chamber under the centrifugal force of the pump's own rotation. Third, any remaining mist oil that has entered the vicinity of the skeleton oil seal is centrifugally returned to the outer side of the centrifugal oil pan, where it is then centrifugally returned to the bearing chamber through an angled centrifugal oil return hole. This embodiment provides an oil leakage prevention device that saves 30% of lubricating oil (grease) annually; eliminates oil contamination on the production site; reduces accidents caused by oil-starved operation due to bearing oil leakage; and offers a very low manufacturing cost, increasing costs by less than 1%.
