Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of centrifugal compressor equipment, specifically to a centrifugal compressor end face toothed impeller structure. Background Technology

[0002] The rotor of a centrifugal compressor is composed of impellers and other parts mounted on a main shaft. In the current technology field, the connection between the impeller and the main shaft generally adopts the end face tooth connection method. This design not only ensures the efficient transmission of ultra-high torque, but also has excellent stability and precise positioning capabilities.

[0003] Although the end-face toothed connection structure is widely used in centrifugal compressors due to its ability to transmit ultra-large torque, strong stability and precise positioning, in practical applications, this structure will generate complex stress when subjected to force, and will inevitably suffer wear after long-term operation, requiring regular inspection and maintenance, which increases the operation and maintenance cost of the equipment. To this end, we propose an end-face toothed connection impeller structure for centrifugal compressors. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

The impeller has a first tooth on its bladeless side for meshing with a corresponding part of the main shaft. The main shaft has a second tooth at one end corresponding to the first tooth, forming a meshing structure that is mutually adapted with the first tooth. The second tooth includes a protrusion connected to the end face of the main shaft. A receiving groove for accommodating a pressure reducing block is formed in the protrusion. The pressure reducing block slides in the receiving groove, with at least one end extending beyond the side wall of the protrusion. A sliding groove is formed at the end of the main shaft. A slider extending into the sliding groove is provided at the bottom of the pressure reducing block. The slider is slidably connected in the sliding groove, and the two are connected by a spring.

[0008] Furthermore, the receiving groove extends through the protruding tooth, and both ends of the pressure-reducing block extend beyond the sidewall of the protruding tooth.

[0009] Furthermore, the structure of the first tooth is the same as that of the second tooth, and the sidewalls of the pressure-reducing blocks at the same position of both are in contact.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] See attached document Figure 1-7 A centrifugal compressor end face toothed impeller structure includes an impeller 1 and a main shaft 2. The impeller 1 has a first tooth 10 on the bladeless side for meshing with the corresponding part of the main shaft 2. The main shaft 2 has a second tooth 20 at one end corresponding to the first tooth 10, forming a meshing structure that is adapted to each other to enhance torque transmission capability and ensure torque stability. The second tooth 20 includes a plurality of protrusions 201 circumferentially connected to the end face of the main shaft 2. Each protrusion 201 has a receiving groove for accommodating a pressure reducing block 202. The pressure reducing block 202 slides in the receiving groove, with at least one end extending beyond the side wall of the protrusion 201 and abutting against the first tooth 10. The end of the main shaft 2 has a sliding groove 203. The bottom of the pressure reducing block 202 has a slider 204 extending into the sliding groove 203. The slider 204 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 203, and the two are connected by a spring 205.

[0026] In operation, the spindle 2 drives the second tooth 20 to rotate. At this time, the pressure relief block 202 inside the second tooth 20 first contacts the first tooth 10. The first tooth 10 is pushed by the pressure relief block 202 and generates a reaction force to push the pressure relief block 202. At this time, the spring 205 is compressed to provide a buffer force. The spindle 2 drives the second tooth 20 to continue to rotate. At this time, the protruding tooth 201 on the second tooth 20 contacts the first tooth 10 and pushes the first tooth 10 to rotate. Before the second tooth 20 pushes, the first tooth 10 is pushed by the pressure relief block 202, which reduces the stress between the second tooth 20 and the first tooth 10, thereby reducing the wear of the end face teeth during long-term use and greatly improving the service life of the equipment.

[0027] In this embodiment, the receiving groove penetrates through the protruding tooth 201, and both ends of the pressure reducing block 202 extend beyond the sidewall of the protruding tooth 201. During the forward and reverse rotation of the spindle 2, the pressure reducing block 202 can reduce the wear of the end face teeth.

[0028] In this embodiment, the structure of the first tooth 10 is the same as that of the second tooth 20, and the sidewalls of the pressure relief block 202 at the same position of both are in contact. The pressure relief block 202 in both the first tooth 10 and the second tooth 20 has pressure relief capability, which further reduces wear and increases the service life of the equipment.

[0029] In this embodiment, the protruding tooth 201 has a trapezoidal structure, which gradually tapers away from the main shaft 2, so as to facilitate the relative meshing and connection of the first tooth 10 and the second tooth 20, and facilitate subsequent assembly.

[0030] In this embodiment, the receiving groove is an arc-shaped structure with its center located on the axis of the main shaft 2. The pressure relief block 202 is an arc-shaped structure adapted to the receiving groove. The direction of the relative compressive force on the pressure relief block 202 is arc-shaped. Since both the pressure relief block 202 and the receiving groove are arc-shaped structures, the friction between the pressure relief block 202 and the protrusion 201 can be reduced, thereby improving the service life of the protrusion 201.
