Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mechanical seal back pressure testing tooling technology, and in particular to a special tooling for testing the back pressure of a disc shredder sealing system. Background Technology

[0002] The sealing system side of a disc shredder refers to the pressure exerted on the inner back pressure of the mechanical seal by the medium pressure. It has a significant impact on the stress state of the internal sealing surface of the mechanical seal, liquid film formation, stability, leakage, and environmental aspects.

[0003] The mechanical seal is designed with a double seal and costs 200,000 yuan per set. The sealing fluid is methyl silicone oil. Each replacement mechanical seal operates for about 3 months, resulting in a short service life and high spare parts costs. Disassembly revealed that the leaking mechanical seal had several annular wear marks on its friction pair. The height of the wear platform, made of hard alloy for both the dynamic and static rings, had been reduced by 0.5 mm. The flat crystal stripe inspection did not meet the operational requirements, leading to media leakage, serious environmental pollution, and unplanned shutdown losses amounting to millions of yuan. As a crucial parameter affecting sealing performance, accurate measurement and control of mechanical seal back pressure are of great significance for optimizing mechanical seal design and improving sealing reliability. Therefore, the invention of a dedicated back pressure testing fixture is of great guiding importance. Utility Model Content

[0020] The sealing system of a disc shredder is expensive, and wear occurs during operation. After the medium leaks, it causes serious environmental pollution and significant losses. As an important parameter affecting sealing performance, accurate measurement and control of mechanical seal back pressure is of great significance for optimizing mechanical seal design and improving sealing reliability.

[0021] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a dedicated tooling device for detecting the back pressure of the sealing system of a disc shredder. This device utilizes an oil circulation system connected to the detection chamber of the shredder's sealing assembly. After filling the detection chamber with oil, the internal pressure is monitored. When the back pressure exceeds the specified range, the buffer flow rate or pressure is automatically adjusted to stabilize the back pressure at a set value. This pressure stabilization process simulates the working environment of the shredder's sealing assembly, allowing for the detection of the sealing performance of the shredder's sealing assembly at a relatively low cost, thus ensuring the reliable operation of the disc shredder.

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] See Figure 1 This application provides a special tooling device for detecting the back pressure of the sealing system of a disc shredder, including a detection chamber 1, a filter 2, a cooler 3, a circulating pump 4, and a back pressure detection device;

[0024] In this embodiment, the detection chamber 1 is a cylindrical cavity structure with an opening on one side, and screws 8 parallel to the axial direction of the detection chamber 1 are evenly distributed along the outer edge of the opening side. The screws 8 are used to dock with the shredder sealing assembly 7 for testing. They are fastened by connecting with nuts. After the shredder sealing assembly 7 is assembled, its own bolt holes can match the screws 8 in this technical solution. After insertion, the shredder sealing assembly 7 seals the opening of the detection chamber 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the detection chamber 1 is equipped with an inlet detection connector and an outlet detection connector (the outlet detection connector is equipped with a valve). The inlet detection connector is connected to the outlet of the circulation pump 4 via a pipe, and the outlet detection connector is connected to the inlet of the filter 2 via a pipe. The outlet of the filter 2 is connected to the inlet of the cooler 3 via a pipe, and the outlet of the cooler 3 is connected to the inlet of the circulation pump 4 via a pipe. The circulation pump 4 ensures a stable buffer solution flow rate, the filter 2 removes impurities, and the cooler 3 controls the buffer solution temperature. Oil is pumped in through the circulation pump 4. In this embodiment, a suitable buffer solution is selected; the original buffer solution used was heat transfer oil, whose specific gravity at 20°C is 0.8998*1000kg / m³. 3 The viscosity is 19.12 cst at 40℃ and the flash point is 192℃. After comparison and selection, methyl silicone oil solution was chosen as the buffer solution. It is resistant to high and low temperatures, has good thermal stability and flame retardancy, and has a flash point greater than 300℃, which can ensure good compatibility between the buffer solution and the medium and prevent chemical reactions.

[0026] In this embodiment, a back pressure detection device is also installed on the detector. The back pressure detection device includes a pressure sensor 5 and a PLC 6. The pressure sensor 5 is installed in the detection chamber 1 and connected to the PLC 6. After the detection chamber 1 is filled with oil, the pressure sensor 5 is squeezed. The pressure sensor 5 and the PLC 6 can monitor the internal pressure data. After the oil is pumped in, the oil enters the detection chamber 1. After being squeezed, the pressure sensor 5 transmits an electrical signal to the PLC 6. The system has a preset back pressure range. When the back pressure exceeds the range, the buffer flow rate or pressure is automatically adjusted to stabilize the back pressure at the set value. After the detection is completed, the valve on the liquid outlet detection connector is opened. The oil flows back and is first filtered, then flows back to the circulation pump 4 after passing through the cooler 3, forming a system where the oil can circulate. The internal pressure can change, thereby detecting the sealing performance of the shredder sealing assembly 7.

[0027] In other embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, an air source connector can be installed on the detection chamber 1. The detection chamber 1 is connected to the air pump 10 through a pipe. A pressure gauge 11 is installed to connect to the internal cavity of the detection chamber 1. During operation, the detection chamber 1 and the connected chopper sealing assembly 7 are placed in water. After the air source is injected, the pressure gauge 11 monitors the internal pressure. After the pressure is stabilized, it is observed whether bubbles appear in the water, thereby testing the sealing performance of the chopper sealing assembly 7. Experiments can be conducted at different pressure values, and the experimental cost is low.

[0028] The various embodiments of this application have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or improvement of the technology in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
