The application avoids the direct contact between the whole end surface of the original sealing ring with a rectangular cross section and the inner wall of the ring groove, greatly reduces the contact area, improves the sealing pressure of the sealing surface, has a better sealing effect on high-pressure and high-temperature lubricating oil, and gradually increases the contact area of the sealing ring 2 after running and wearing to become a conventional contact sealing, so that the reliability of the sealing structure is improved, the service life of the sealing ring 2 is prolonged, and the maintenance cost is reduced.
[0025] Meanwhile, the sleeve 1 avoids the sealing ring 2 being directly installed on the rotor shaft 4, so that the contact surface of the sealing ring 2 and the rotor shaft 4 is worn and deformed, thereby avoiding large cost waste caused by the rotor shaft 4 being unable to be repaired.
[0026] Preferably, in the radial direction of the first ring groove 11: the size of the end surface of the sealing ring 2 towards the oil cavity of the turbocharger and the abutting part of the inner wall edge of the groove opening of the first ring groove 11 towards the oil cavity is 0.2-0.4 mm. That is, in the initial installation state, the width of the contact surface of the end surface of the sealing ring 2 towards the oil cavity of the turbocharger and the inner wall edge of the groove opening of the first ring groove 11 is ensured to be within the range of 0.2-0.4 mm. In the rotating process, under the action of the high-temperature gas, the end surface of the sealing ring 2 towards the oil cavity of the turbocharger is kept pressed against the inner wall edge of the groove opening of the first ring groove 11 and a smaller contact area is ensured, so that the sealing pressure is ensured and a better sealing effect is achieved.
[0027] Preferably, the size of the first reducing pipe surface 21 in the axial direction of the rotor shaft 4 is greater than or equal to 1.0 mm, that is, H1-H2≥1.0 mm, H1 represents the axial size of the sealing ring 2, and H2 represents the axial size of the center hole of the sealing ring 2; it is ensured that after the end surface of the sealing ring 2 is worn to gradually increase the contact area, the conventional contact sealing can still be achieved, so that it can still work reliably after the wear is greater than 0.5 mm.
[0028] Preferably, the inner ring of the sealing ring 2 further comprises a second reducing pipe surface 22, the large-diameter end of the second reducing pipe surface 22 is connected to the end surface of the sealing ring 2 away from the oil cavity of the turbocharger, and the small-diameter end of the second reducing pipe surface 22 is towards the oil cavity. When the end surface of the sealing ring 2 corresponding to the first reducing pipe surface 21 is worn too much, the sealing ring 2 can be adjusted, and the end surface of the sealing ring 2 away from the oil cavity of the turbocharger (that is, the end surface of the sealing ring 2 corresponding to the second reducing pipe surface 22) is abutted against the inner wall edge of the groove opening of the first ring groove 11 towards the oil cavity.
[0029] Preferably, the first reducing pipe surface 21 and the second reducing pipe surface 22 are symmetrically arranged, so that the sealing ring 2 does not need to be distinguished as front and back during installation, facilitating installation and debugging; and facilitating replacement during maintenance.
[0030] Preferably, the average value of the sum of the sizes of the first reducing pipe surface 21 and the second reducing pipe surface 22 in the axial direction of the rotor shaft 4 is greater than or equal to 1.0 mm, that is, (H3-H4) / 2≥1.0 mm, H3 represents the axial size of the sealing ring 2, and H4 represents the axial size of the center hole of the sealing ring 2; it is ensured that after the end surface of the sealing ring 2 is worn to gradually increase the contact area, the conventional contact sealing can still be achieved, so that it can still work reliably after the wear is greater than 0.5 mm.
[0031] Specifically, the first and second reducers 21 and 22 can be selected from a ring segment of a quadratic cone, an elliptical paraboloid, a double-leaf hyperboloid, a single-leaf hyperboloid, an ellipsoid, and a spherical surface, such that the contact area of the end face of the sealing ring 2 gradually increases after wear.
[0032] Preferably, the shaft sleeve 1 is interference-fitted on the rotor shaft 4, and the interference amount is controlled within the range of 0.05-0.08 mm for the rotor shaft 4 with a diameter within the range of 30-50 mm and the shaft sleeve 1. After long-term use, the deformed shaft sleeve 1 due to wear can be removed and replaced with a new one, thereby ensuring the sealing effect and prolonging the service life of the rotor shaft 4.
[0033] Preferably, the shaft sleeve 1 and the rotor shaft 4 are made of the same material, so that they have the same expansion coefficient and avoid loosening after being heated.
[0034] Specifically, the rotor shaft 4 is butted against the mandrel of the turbine 5 and fixedly connected through friction welding, and the shaft sleeve 1 is sleeved on the connection between the rotor shaft 4 and the mandrel of the turbine 5, and a step is machined on the mandrel of the turbine 5 to position the shaft sleeve 1. This structure design reduces the diameter of the position where the rotor shaft 4 and the mandrel of the turbine 5 need to be welded, which is beneficial to improve the reliability of friction welding.
[0035] Specifically, the outer diameter of the shaft sleeve 1 is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the step on the mandrel of the turbine 5, which avoids the shaft sleeve 1 protruding from the step on the mandrel and being directly affected by high-temperature gas to expand, thereby avoiding the shaft sleeve 1 loosening due to the increased temperature difference with the rotor shaft 4.
[0036] Preferably, the inner ring of the gas seal ring 3 includes a positioning segment 31 and a matching segment 32, the positioning segment 31 is located on the side of the first reducer 21 facing the oil cavity of the turbocharger, and the inner diameter of the positioning segment 31 is smaller than that of the matching segment 32; the end face of the sealing ring 2 facing the oil cavity of the turbocharger abuts against the stepped surface formed by the positioning segment 31 and the matching segment 32, and the outer periphery of the sealing ring 2 matches the inner wall of the matching segment 32; the position of the sealing ring 2 is ensured, and the end face of the sealing ring 2 facing the oil cavity of the turbocharger and the inner wall edge of the slot opening of the first ring groove 11 facing the oil cavity, and the stepped surface formed by the end face of the sealing ring 2 facing the oil cavity of the turbocharger and the positioning segment 31 and the matching segment 32 are reliably contacted.
[0037] Preferably, the matching segment 32 is provided with a second ring groove 321, the groove bottom of the second ring groove 321 is arc-shaped and one side is tangent to the stepped surface formed by the positioning segment 31 and the matching segment 32, and the other side of the groove bottom of the second ring groove 321 is connected with an inclined surface extending to the inner wall of the matching segment 32 and tangent to the inclined surface. The second ring groove 321 clears the root of the stepped surface formed by the positioning segment 31 and the matching segment 32, and ensures that the end face of the sealing ring 2 facing the oil cavity of the turbocharger and the stepped surface formed by the positioning segment 31 and the matching segment 32 can be tightly contacted.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above examples are intended to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
