AI Technical Summary
When an oil-injected screw compressor is in operation, the sealed end cover is prone to expansion and oil leakage due to the impact of high temperature and high pressure gas. The mechanical seal is easily damaged, and the pressure difference inside the casing causes deformation.
A labyrinth seal and a mechanical seal are installed on the rotor extension shaft, and a balance channel is introduced on the sealing end cover. This allows high-temperature and high-pressure gas to enter the balance channel after passing through the labyrinth seal, reducing the impact on the mechanical seal. The gas is also guided to the intake end through the balance channel to balance the gas pressure difference inside the housing.
It effectively reduces the impact of high-temperature and high-pressure gas on the mechanical seal, extends its service life, prevents lubricating oil leakage, avoids shell deformation, and improves the reliability and stability of the seal.

[0005] Compared with prior art, the compressor with balance hole and mechanical seal on the protruding shaft of the utility model has the following advantages:
[0006] During the compressor working process, high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the main shell flows out through the gap between the bearing and the extended shaft of the rotor at the exhaust side, and when flowing through the labyrinth seal, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas passes through the extremely small gap between the labyrinth seal and the extended shaft of the rotor, so that the first throttling is achieved, the gas pressure is greatly reduced, the impact force directly on the mechanical seal is greatly reduced, the mechanical seal is prevented from being damaged, the reliability of the mechanical seal is improved, and the service life of the mechanical seal is prolonged; most of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas throttled through the labyrinth seal is guided to the gas suction end of the main shell through the balance hole to be compressed again, so that the gas pressure difference in the shell is balanced, and the shell is prevented from being deformed due to the excessively large internal pressure difference; after the gas pressure difference in the shell is balanced, the gas pressure at the inlet end of the mechanical seal is greatly reduced, the impact on the mechanical seal is also reduced, and only a small amount of gas enters the inlet end of the mechanical seal and finally passes through the mechanical seal, the lubricating oil leaked along with the gas flow is also very small, the mechanical seal can basically seal the lubricating oil in the shell, and the lubricating oil is prevented from leaking out of the seal end cover; finally, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas passing through the mechanical seal and impacting the seal end cover is also very small, the heat transfer of the high-temperature gas to the seal end cover is also extremely small, and the seal end cover is prevented from being deformed due to serious thermal expansion and oil leakage.
[0007] Preferably, the balance hole is arranged in the radial direction of the seal end cover, and one end of the balance hole is opposite to the positions between the inlet end of the mechanical seal and the outlet end of the labyrinth seal. With this structure, the balance hole can quickly guide the high-pressure gas impacting the mechanical seal after being throttled through the labyrinth seal.
[0008] Preferably, the seal end cover is provided with an oil drain hole, and the oil drain hole is in communication with the outlet end of the mechanical seal. With this structure, the small amount of lubricating oil leaked from the mechanical seal can accumulate in the oil drain hole of the seal end cover, so that the oil drain hole can be connected to an oil collecting box, and the lubricating oil accumulated in the oil drain hole can be collected.
