Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of rotary joints, and in particular relates to a sealing device for a high-temperature heat-conducting oil rotary joint. Background Art
[0002] Thermal oil, with its excellent heat transfer, energy-saving and safety features, and easy transportation and operation, has been widely used in recent years in cooling and drying equipment and pipelines in industries such as carton production, asphalt coating, textile ironing, insulation materials, and food production. Rotary joints are rotating seals that transport and remove heat transfer media between fixed pipelines and rotating rollers.
[0003] During the use of most existing rotary joints, the rotating inner tube ball sealing surface of the rotary joint and the spherical graphite sealing ring shift, causing the two to not fit tightly together and a gap to form, resulting in failure of the spherical seal and axial leakage of heat transfer oil from the end face. The reasons for the displacement of the spherical sealing surface are as follows: (1) The spring inside the shell is prone to tilt during use, and the spring force cannot act well along the axial direction of the inner tube, causing the spherical sealing surface to shift and fail; (2) The graphite spherical sealing ring of the original rotary joint has no radial fixing parts, and the graphite spherical sealing ring will shift during operation, causing the sealing surface to fail; (3) The sealing of the original rotary joint only relies on the hemispherical ring of the rotating inner tube to press and fit with the graphite spherical sealing ring for sealing. Once the seal fails here, the rotary joint will leak, and maintenance personnel need to stop the machine and disassemble the rotary joint as a whole for maintenance or replacement, which is troublesome and reduces production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the problem in the background technology that during the use of the rotary joint, the rotating inner tube ball sealing surface and the spherical graphite sealing ring will shift, resulting in the inability to fit completely and tightly between the two and a gap will be generated, which will cause the spherical seal to fail and the end face to leak axially. The maintenance personnel need to stop the machine and disassemble the rotary joint as a whole for maintenance or replacement, which is troublesome and reduces production efficiency. The utility model provides a high-temperature thermal oil rotary joint sealing device; a spring retainer is installed in the shell to fix the position of the spring, which reduces the probability of skewness during the expansion and contraction of the spring and ensures that the rotating outer tube is always in the operation process. Displacement compensation occurs in the axial position to ensure that the hemispherical ring on the rotating outer tube is always in close contact with the mating surface of the graphite spherical sealing ring, thereby maintaining a good sealing effect and preventing leakage of high-temperature thermal oil. At the same time, a groove is provided on the convex surface of the bottom cover to fix the graphite spherical sealing ring, so that it cannot undergo radial displacement, thereby improving the sealing performance. A deep slot is opened in the bottom cover to install graphite packing for sealing, thus realizing a double sealing function. A packing gland with axially adjustable position is provided to tighten the graphite packing. Once leakage occurs during production, the maintenance worker only needs to adjust the packing pressure to tighten it. The operation is simple and efficient.

The graphite spherical sealing ring 6 is sleeved on the rotating outer tube 4, and the spherical surface of the graphite spherical sealing ring 6 is in contact with the spherical surface of the hemispherical ring 401. During the operation of the rotary joint, the spring 3 provides continuous elastic force to ensure that the hemispherical ring 401 on the rotating outer tube 4 is always in close contact with the matching surface of the graphite spherical sealing ring 6, thereby maintaining a good sealing effect and preventing leakage of high-temperature thermal oil; the bottom cover 7 is sleeved on the rotating outer tube 4 and fixedly connected to the shell 1 through screws, and the bottom cover 7 is connected to the shell 1 The contact surfaces are sealed and connected by a seal 10, which can effectively prevent leakage of heat transfer oil from the connection between the bottom cover 7 and the end of the shell 1. The inner end surface of the bottom cover 7 is provided with a groove 701 for preventing the graphite spherical sealing ring 6 from shifting. The end of the graphite spherical sealing ring 6 is embedded in the groove 701, so that the graphite spherical sealing ring 6 cannot undergo radial displacement, thereby avoiding the problem of failure of the sealing surface caused by radial displacement of the graphite spherical sealing ring 6, and improving the sealing performance; the outer end surface of the bottom cover 7 is provided with a deep groove hole 702 coaxial with the rotating outer tube 4, the diameter of the deep groove hole 702 is larger than the outer diameter of the rotating outer tube 4, and the graphite packing 8 is sleeved on the rotating outer tube 4. The outer tube 4 is embedded in the deep groove hole 702. The packing gland 9 is sleeved on the rotating outer tube 4 and fixedly connected to the bottom cover 7 by screws. The end face of the packing gland 9 abuts against the graphite packing 8, which further enhances the sealing performance of the rotary joint. Once leakage occurs during production, the maintenance worker only needs to tighten the packing 8 by adjusting the packing gland 9, which is easy to operate and efficient. An inner tube 11 for conveying high-temperature heat transfer oil is provided inside the rotating outer tube 4. The inner diameter of the rotating outer tube 4 is larger than the outer diameter of the inner tube 11. A return oil channel with a ring-shaped cross section is formed between the rotating outer tube 4 and the inner tube 11. The end of the return oil channel is connected to the cavity of the shell 1.
[0020] The spring retainer 2 includes a chassis 201 and an arc-shaped positioning plate 202. A through hole is provided on the chassis 201 for passing the inner tube 11. The outer diameter of the chassis 201 is the same as the inner diameter of the cavity of the shell 1.

The operator tightens the screws between the packing gland 9 and the bottom cover 7 so that the annular protrusion 901 of the packing gland 9 presses against the graphite packing 8. On the one hand, the graphite packing 8 realizes double sealing. On the other hand, it can play the role of properly correcting the rotating outer tube 4, further improving the stability of the rotary joint operation.
[0022] The end of the rotating outer tube 4 is provided with an external thread which is threadedly connected to the rotating component; this makes the installation and disassembly of the rotary joint more convenient, and reduces the time for maintenance and replacement.

[0024] Working process:
[0025] During use, the rotating outer tube 4 is connected to the hollow shaft of the operating equipment, and the inlet of the inner tube 11 is connected to the oil pipe, and the high-temperature heat-conducting oil is injected into the inner tube 11 through the oil pipe. Since the inner tube 11 is provided inside the rotating outer tube 4, the heat-conducting oil can flow into the operating equipment along the inner tube 11, thereby realizing the transportation of the high-temperature heat-conducting oil; the heat-conducting oil after passing through the operating equipment is transported to the cavity of the shell 1 along the return oil channel formed between the rotating outer tube 4 and the inner tube 11, and is discharged through the return oil joint 102, so that the high-temperature heat-conducting oil forms a closed loop inside the rotary joint, which not only ensures the continuous transportation of the heat-conducting oil, but also avoids leakage of the heat-conducting oil; once leakage occurs during production, the maintenance worker only needs to tighten the packing 8 by adjusting the packing cover 9, which is easy to operate and efficient.
