[0025] Referring to the drawings Figure 2 -Appendix Figure 3The application provides a sealing device for a drum screen main shaft, which is characterized by a cleverly installed packing gland 2 structure on the main shaft 1. The two ends of the main shaft 1 are rotatably connected to the shaft support bearing seat 3 and the screening machine shell 4, and the packing gland 2 is cleverly embedded in the screening machine shell 4 to form a packing sealing cavity together with the main shaft 1. In the application, the packing gland 2 can be designed to be embedded in the screening machine shell 4 by welding, which can save the installation space of the packing gland 2 while ensuring the distance between the original shaft support bearing seat 3 and the screening machine shell 4, thereby facilitating the installation and replacement of the packing 5. In the packing sealing cavity, multiple layers of packing 5 are carefully stacked along the axial direction of the main shaft 1 to form a solid sealing barrier. The introduction of the multiple layers of packing 5 fundamentally solves the problem of frequent replacement of the traditional wool felt seal which is easy to wear and affects the production efficiency, and significantly improves the sealing performance and operation continuity of the drum screen.
[0026] In another embodiment, the packing gland 2 is further improved, and a plurality of adjusting bolts 7 are cleverly added to the outer circumference of the packing gland 2. The adjusting bolts 7 not only provide accurate positioning points for the packing gland cover 6, but also ensure the concentricity of the packing gland cover 6 and the packing gland through the cooperating positioning holes. Further, the adjusting nuts 8 threaded on the adjusting bolts 7 enable the application to easily adjust the pre-tightening force of the packing 5, ensuring that the sealing effect reaches the best. When the packing 5 is worn out due to long-term use, simply rotating the adjusting nuts 8 counterclockwise can easily release the packing gland cover 6, realizing the quick replacement of the packing 5, and greatly reducing the maintenance cost and downtime.
[0027] Referring to the drawings Figure 4 In another embodiment of the application, the inner circle of the packing gland cover 6 is further provided with three gas sealing grooves 9, and the three gas sealing grooves 9 and the main shaft 1 form a gas sealing cavity 10. The end of the packing gland cover 6 away from the packing gland 2 is provided with an air inlet channel 11 communicating with the three gas sealing grooves 9, and the air inlet of the air inlet channel 11 is provided with an air pipe quick connector 12. The application is connected to the gas source through the air pipe quick connector 12, and when the positive pressure gas is introduced into the gas sealing grooves 9 and the gas sealing cavity 10 through the air inlet channel 11, the positive pressure sealing can be realized, forming an additional sealing barrier, which greatly improves the reliability of the sealing and the material leakage prevention ability.
[0028] In order to ensure the integrity of the gas sealing cavity 10, the inner circle of the packing gland cover 6 is further provided with a first O-shaped sealing ring 13 located at the outer end of the gas sealing cavity 10, and the design of the first O-shaped sealing ring 13 can prevent the gas in the gas sealing cavity 10 from leaking out. The outer circle of the packing gland cover 6 is further provided with a second O-shaped sealing ring 14 located in the packing sealing cavity, and the second O-shaped sealing ring 14 can seal the gap between the packing gland cover 6 and the inner wall of the packing gland 2.
[0029] Finally, the graphite oil-impregnated packing is particularly selected as the packing 5. When the packing 5 is subjected to pressure, not only can it deform in the longitudinal direction to form a tight seal, but also can extrude the internal impregnated graphite oil to form an additional lubricating and sealing layer, thereby greatly improving the sealing efficiency and durability and effectively preventing material from leaking from the tiny gap between the main shaft and the screen housing, thereby providing a solid guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the trommel screen.
[0030] In the specific use process, first, the connection stability of the shaft support bearing seat 3 and the screen housing 4 is checked under the premise that the trommel screen is stopped and the power is disconnected. The packing gland 2 is pre-embedded on the screen housing 4 and is fixedly connected with the screen housing 4 in a welding manner, and the packing gland 2 and the main shaft 1 jointly form a packing seal cavity. Next, a plurality of graphite oil-impregnated packings 5 are prepared. These packings 5 have excellent deformation ability and sealing performance and can tightly fit the surface of the main shaft 1 when the main shaft 1 rotates. The packings 5 are stacked into a ring layer by layer and are inserted into the packing seal cavity. After the installation of the packings 5 is completed, the packings 5 are pre-tightened by using the adjusting bolt 7 and the adjusting nut 8, and the packing gland 6 is tightly fitted on the packings by rotating the adjusting nut 8 clockwise. The purpose of this step is to form an effective sealing barrier to prevent material leakage. At the same time, the graphite oil-impregnated packing can extrude graphite oil when subjected to pressure to form an additional lubricating and sealing layer, thereby further improving the sealing efficiency and durability. Then, the gas pipe quick connector 12 is connected with the gas source, and the positive pressure gas is introduced into the gas sealing groove 9 and the gas sealing cavity 10. The introduction of the positive pressure gas can form an additional sealing barrier, thereby greatly improving the reliability of the sealing and the material leakage prevention ability.
[0031] The above describes the present application and its embodiments, which are not limited, and the embodiments shown in the drawings are only one of the embodiments of the present application, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In summary, if a person skilled in the art is inspired thereby, without departing from the creative purpose of the present application, similar structural modes and embodiments can be designed without creativity, which should all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
