[0008] Further, the gas distribution groove and the labyrinth seal groove are all annular groove bodies.
[0009] Further, the depths of the labyrinth sealing grooves are consistent, and the depth of the air distribution groove is greater than the depth of the labyrinth sealing groove, and the depth of the labyrinth sealing groove is greater than the depth of the thread groove.
[0010] Beneficial effects: the non-contact type shaft sealing structure of the utility model, the shaft body and the shaft hole are in non-contact state, so as to reduce the power consumption of the sealing part, the labyrinth sealing, the thread sealing and the air sealing are formed between the shaft hole and the shaft body, the three kinds of sealing cooperate with each other, so that the sealing reliability between the shaft body and the shaft hole is high. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0011] ATTACHED Figure 1 It is a schematic view of the shaft sealing structure of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0012] The utility model will be described further in connection with the drawings.
[0013] As attached Figure 1 The non-contact type shaft sealing structure, including shaft body 1 and sealing seat 2, the sealing seat 2 is set up with shaft hole 3, shaft body 1 is correspondingly inserted in shaft hole 3, and the clearance fit between shaft body 1 and shaft hole 3 makes the non-contact state between shaft body 1 and shaft hole 3, thereby reducing the power consumption of the sealing part between shaft body 1 and shaft hole 3, and improving the life.
[0014] As attached Figure 1 Indicated, the air distribution groove 4 is provided with a plurality of labyrinth sealing grooves 5 on the hole wall of the shaft hole 3, so that the two sides of the air distribution groove 4 form the first labyrinth sealing 6 and the second labyrinth sealing 7 respectively. The air distribution groove 4 is connected with the gas supply equipment 8, and the gas supply equipment 8 can provide the air distribution groove 4 with pressurized gas, so that the air distribution groove 4 is in a positive pressure gas environment. The pressurized gas is distributed from the air distribution groove 4 to the space between the shaft body 1 and the shaft hole 3, so that the air sealing is formed between the shaft body 1 and the shaft hole 3. Through the cooperation of the labyrinth sealing and the air sealing, the sealing reliability between the shaft body 1 and the shaft hole 3 is high.
