DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The following description is provided to disclose the present application so that those skilled in the art can implement the present application. The examples in the following description are only used as examples, and other obvious modifications can be thought of by those skilled in the art. The basic principles defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents and other technical solutions without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
[0020] The present application is further described in detail as follows:
[0021] For the convenience of description and understanding, the directional description is only used as an illustration and does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection.
[0022] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 , the present disclosure proposes a breathable seal structure of an oil-free screw machine, which comprises a floating oil seal structure 1 and a floating gas seal structure 2. The floating oil seal structure 1 and the floating gas seal structure 2 are axially sleeved on the rotating shaft 3 and the shaft hole 4 of the oil-free screw machine. The shaft hole 4 is provided with a spacing section 5 between the floating oil seal structure 1 and the floating gas seal structure 2. An air hole 6 is provided on the inner circumferential wall of the spacing section 5. A communication hole 8 is provided on the shell 7 of the oil-free screw machine. The air hole 6 is communicated with the outside through the communication hole 8. The spacing section 5 is further provided with an axial section 9 for limiting the floating oil seal structure 1 and the floating gas seal structure 2 in the axial direction. A passage is provided between the inner circumferential wall of the axial section 9 and the air hole 6. A rotor is installed in the working cavity 28 in cooperation. The working cavity 28 is air-tightly sealed by the floating gas seal structure 2. The gas leaked from the floating gas seal structure 2 is discharged through the gap 13 between the inner circumferential wall of the axial section 9 and the rotating shaft 3, the passage, the air hole 6 and the communication hole 8.
[0023] As shown in Figure 1 , 2 , the shaft hole 4 is composed of a plurality of stepped holes. The part where the spacing section 5 is located is provided with a cylindrical straight hole with equal diameter, thereby facilitating assembly.
[0024] In order to further simplify the structure, as shown inFigure 3 As shown, the air seal seat 23 of the floating air seal structure 2 is arranged at the same outer diameter as the axial section 9, specifically, when the axial section 9 is sequentially arranged from outside to inside with the adjusting section 10 and the cylindrical section 11, the air seal seat 23 of the floating air seal structure 2 is arranged at the same outer diameter as the cylindrical section 11.
[0025] In this example, as shown in Figure 3 , 4 , the axial section 9 is sequentially arranged from outside to inside with the adjusting section 10 and the cylindrical section 11, the adjusting section 10 includes a plurality of axial protrusions 12 sequentially arranged along the inner periphery of the shaft hole 4, the interval between the inner periphery of the cylindrical section 11 and the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 3 constitutes the gap 13, and the space 14 between adjacent axial protrusions 12 exposes the rotating shaft 3. During assembly, the axial section 9 is rotated so that the space 14 is located at the air passage hole 6, the outer side end of the axial protrusion 12 is arranged axially limited with the floating oil seal structure 1, and the inner side end of the cylindrical section 11 is arranged axially limited with the floating air seal structure 2. In this way, for different oil-free screw machines, since the positions of the air passage holes 6 are different, the axial section 9 can be rotated to solve the problem, thereby improving the versatility.
[0026] In particular, when the communication hole 8 is arranged as a radial straight hole, since different oil-free screw machines have different structures on the shell 7, such as the need to avoid other structures, the position of the air passage hole 6 should be based on the position of the communication hole 8, and then the axial section 9 is sequentially arranged from outside to inside with the adjusting section 10 and the cylindrical section 11, which is of great significance.
[0027] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 , 4 , the adjusting section 10 and the cylindrical section 11 are integrally arranged, and the adjusting section 10 is arranged radially inward so that the outer periphery wall of the adjusting section 10 is arranged non-contacting with the inner periphery of the shaft hole 4. This is beneficial to reduce the contact area of the length of the adjusting section 10 during assembly, thereby reducing the processing difficulty, and it is also easier to assemble.
[0028] Any floating oil seal structure 1 and floating air seal structure 2 applicable to the present disclosure can be applied in the present disclosure.
[0029] As shown in Figure 3As shown, the floating oil seal structure 1 includes, for example, a spring limiting sleeve 15, a first spring 16, an oil sealing ring 17, and an oil sealing seat 18. The oil sealing ring 17 is provided with a first circumferential protrusion 19, which is, for example, an annular protrusion arranged radially outward along the outer peripheral wall of the oil sealing ring 17. The first spring 16 is fitted onto the oil sealing ring 17 from one end outside and abuts against the outer end of the first circumferential protrusion 19. The oil sealing ring 17 is inserted into the oil sealing seat 18 from the outside and abuts against the oil sealing seat 18. The sealing seat 18 is movably fitted together. The oil sealing seat 18 is provided with a first inner circumferential portion 20. For example, the first inner circumferential portion 20 is an annular protrusion arranged radially inward along the inner circumferential wall of the oil sealing seat 18. The spring limiting sleeve 15 axially limits the first spring 16. The first spring 16 presses the oil sealing ring 17 against the oil sealing seat 18 through the cooperation of the first circumferential protrusion 19 and the first inner circumferential portion 20. In order to better seal, a sealing ring 29 is also provided between the first circumferential protrusion 19 and the first inner circumferential portion 20.
[0030] The rear end of the oil seal seat 18 is integrally provided with the axial section 9 or separately provided. When it is separately provided, the rear end of the oil seal seat 18 abuts against the outer end of the axial section 9.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the floating gas seal structure 2 includes, for example, a gas seal ring 21, a second spring 22, and a gas seal seat 23. The gas seal ring 21 is provided with a second circumferential protrusion 24, which is, for example, an annular protrusion arranged radially outward along the outer circumferential wall of the gas seal ring 21. The second spring 22 is fitted onto the gas seal ring 21 from one end inside and abuts against the inner end of the second circumferential protrusion 24. The gas seal ring 21 is inserted into the gas seal seat 23 from one end outside and is movably fitted into the gas seal seat 23. The gas seal seat 23 is provided with a second inner circumferential portion 25, which is, for example, along the inner circumferential wall of the gas seal seat 23. A ring-shaped protrusion is radially inwardly arranged on the circumferential wall. The second spring 22 is axially constrained between the second circumferential protrusion 24 and the second inner circumferential portion 25. The inner end of the axial segment 9 not only abuts against the outer end of the gas seal seat 23 to axially limit the gas seal seat 23, but also extends radially and blocks the outer side of the gas seal ring 21. Furthermore, the axial distance between the inner end of the axial segment 9 and the second inner circumferential portion 25 is greater than the axial length of the gas seal ring 21. Thus, the inner end of the axial segment 9 axially limits the axial movement of the gas seal ring 21 between the inner end of the axial segment 9 and the second inner circumferential portion 25. Therefore, the inner end of the axial segment 9 not only axially limits the gas seal seat 23, but also simultaneously serves as the outer limit for the axial movement space of the gas seal ring 21.
[0032] In this example, as Figure 1 , 2The oil-free screw machine shown includes a first rotor and a second rotor, and each end of the first rotor and the second rotor is provided with a gas-permeable sealing structure of the oil-free screw machine, so that four gas-permeable sealing structures of the oil-free screw machine are provided in total, and a straight communication hole 8 is provided on the shell 7 corresponding to each gas-permeable sealing structure.
[0033] Further, as shown in Figure 3 、 4 The outer ring of the bearing 27 limits the spring limiting sleeve 15, and in order to better seal, an oil retaining ring 26 is further arranged between the bearing 27 and the spring limiting sleeve 15, the oil retaining ring 26 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 3 and rotates with the rotating shaft 3, so as to reduce the oil or oil mist reaching the oil seal ring 17.
[0034] In understanding the present application, if necessary, the above structure can refer to other embodiments / attachments Figure 1 understood, and will not be repeated here.
[0035] The above is only an embodiment of the present application for illustration, so equivalent changes or modifications made according to the structure, features and principles described in the patent protection scope of the present application are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
