Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thin film evaporators, in particular to a sealing structure of a core shaft of a thin film evaporator. Background Art

[0002] Sterile-grade thin-film evaporators must ensure a sterile environment inside. When the equipment is working normally, it is under negative pressure. When cleaning and sterilizing, it is under positive pressure. Positive and negative pressure conditions will generate axial positive and negative alternating loads on the main shaft of the equipment. In other words, there are positive and negative alternating loads inside the equipment, so there is a large alternating axial load. In this case, the alternating axial load will generate a bidirectional push and pull force on the core shaft, which will also cause axial movement of the core shaft. From the perspective of the entire structure, the equipment rotates at high speed inside, and there are also large positive and negative alternating loads inside. In addition, the sealing end face is not allowed to have a large amount of axial movement. If the axial movement is too large, on the one hand, it will not play the role of sealing, and on the other hand, the life of the mechanical seal will be greatly shortened. Utility Model Content

In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, a sealing structure of a core shaft of a thin film evaporator includes a core shaft 1, an inner sleeve 2 being provided on the outer side of the core shaft 1. An outer sleeve 3 is sealingly connected to the outer side of the inner sleeve 2. The outer sleeve 3 is located at the right end of the inner sleeve 2.

[0023] The outer side of the outer sleeve 3 is connected to the bearing 4, and the outer side of the bearing 4 is connected to the pressure cover 5. The left side of the bearing 4 is provided with an inner skeleton oil seal 6, and the right side of the bearing 4 is provided with an outer skeleton oil seal 7. The outer surface of the outer sleeve 3 has a stepped structure, and the bearing 4 and the outer skeleton oil seal 7 are sequentially arranged on the stepped structure.

[0024] The inner skeleton oil seal 6 is located inside the shaft seal holder 8, and the outer skeleton oil seal 7 is located between the outer sleeve 3 and the gland 5. The bearing 4 is located away from the material side, offsetting the alternating load on the core shaft 1 through the bearing 4. The bearing 4 is fixed to the outer sleeve 3 and the gland 5. The inner skeleton oil seal 6 isolates the bearing 4 from the left flushing side, preventing cleaning fluid from entering the bearing 4 and also preventing the lubricating grease of the bearing 4 from leaking to the flushing side.

[0025] In order to clean the inside of the seal, a shaft seal fixing seat 8 is provided on the outside of the inner sleeve 2. The shaft seal fixing seat 8 is located on the left side of the gland 5, and the plane of the gland 5 and the shaft seal fixing seat 8 is sealed.

[0026] A material-side static ring 9 and an atmosphere-side static ring 10 are also provided between the inner sleeve 2 and the shaft seal holder 8. The material-side static ring 9 is located on the left side of the inner sleeve 2, forming the material-side sealing end face. The atmosphere-side static ring 10 is located on the left side of the bearing 4, forming the atmosphere-side sealing end face.

[0027] A clearance channel is formed between the material side stationary ring 9 and the atmosphere side stationary ring 10 and the outer side of the inner sleeve 2. The shaft seal fixing seat 8 has a flushing inlet 11 and a flushing outlet 12 connected to the clearance channel. The flushing inlet 11 is opened in the lower half of the shaft seal fixing seat 8, and the upper end of the flushing inlet 11 faces the atmosphere side stationary ring 10. The flushing outlet 12 is opened in the upper half of the shaft seal fixing seat 8, and the lower end of the flushing outlet 12 faces the material side stationary ring 9. Flushing liquid is introduced from the flushing inlet 11 and flows along the Figure 1 In the direction of the middle arrow, the flushing liquid flows through the material-side stationary ring 9 and the atmosphere-side stationary ring 10 on both sides, flows through the inner sides of the material-side stationary ring 9 and the atmosphere-side stationary ring 10, and continues to flow upward before flowing out of the flushing outlet 12. The flushing liquid carries away the wear debris generated on the sealing end face, thereby preventing the wear debris from further damaging the mechanical seal end face and preventing the wear debris from falling into the material side and contaminating the material. The flowing flushing liquid also cools the sealing end face while cleaning, ensuring effective use.

[0028] In summary, the sealing structure of the core shaft of the thin film evaporator of the present invention adds bearings between the seals and seals both ends of the bearings, which effectively reduces the axial movement and radial swing at the sealing end face and improves the service life of the mechanical seal.

[0029] The above description is based on the ideal embodiment of the present invention. Based on the above description, relevant personnel can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical scope of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content of the specification and must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
