One end of the rotating shaft 5 inside the gearbox 3 extends into the volute 2 and is connected to the impeller 6. The gas entering the volute 2 is compressed by the rotation of the impeller 6 and discharged from the air outlet of the volute 2.

[0033] The volute 2 is provided with an inner cavity drain hole 7 and / or a carbon ring drain hole 16, which are connected to the oil collector through the oil inlet pipe 8.

[0034] Preferably, the inner cavity drain hole 7 is connected to the first oil collector 4.1. The inner cavity drain hole 7 is connected to the first oil collector 4.1 through the oil inlet pipe 8. The first oil collector 4.1 is equipped with a level gauge 9, which can be a magnetic float level gauge. A gas discharge pipe 10 is provided at the top of the first oil collector 4.1, and an oil discharge pipe 11 is provided at the bottom of the first oil collector 4.1. Multiple oil filter baffles 12 are provided inside the first oil collector 4.1. Valves are provided on both the oil inlet pipe 8 and the oil discharge pipe 11.

[0035] Preferably, a carbon ring sealing assembly is provided between the rotating shaft 5 and the volute 2. A mounting hole is provided at the rear end of the volute 2. The carbon ring sealing assembly includes a sealing sleeve 13, which is fixedly disposed within the mounting hole. A sealing ring 15 or other sealing element is provided between the sealing sleeve 13 and the mounting hole. Multiple sealing rings 14 are provided within the inner hole of the sealing sleeve 13, and the rotating shaft 5 passes through the sealing rings 14.

[0036] Preferably, one end of the carbon ring drain hole 16 communicates with the inner hole of the sealing sleeve 13, and the other end of the carbon ring drain hole 16 communicates with the second oil collector 4.2. The carbon ring drain hole 16 is connected to the second oil collector 4.2 through the oil inlet pipe 8. The second oil collector 4.2 is equipped with a level gauge 9, which can be a magnetic float level gauge. A gas discharge pipe 10 is provided at the top of the second oil collector 4.2, and an oil discharge pipe 11 is provided at the bottom of the second oil collector 4.2. Multiple oil filter baffles 12 are provided inside the second oil collector 4.2. Valves are provided on both the oil inlet pipe 8 and the oil discharge pipe 11.

[0037] The volute 2 is also provided with a carbon ring vent hole 17. One end of the carbon ring vent hole 17 is connected to the inner hole of the sealing sleeve 13, and the other end of the carbon ring vent hole 17 is connected to the atmosphere.

[0040] Furthermore, the gas discharge pipe 10 of the second oil collector 4.2 is connected to the atmosphere to reduce leakage of gas medium near the compressor. At the same time, it prevents excessive pressure in the gas discharge pipe 10 from causing gas to enter the sealing ring 14 from the second oil collector 4.2, thus preventing the sealing ring 14 from properly draining.

[0041] When the centrifugal compressor is running, the oil condensation inside the volute 2 and at the sealing ring 14 will enter the first oil collector 4.1 and the second oil collector 4.2 through the oil inlet pipe 8. The level gauges 9 on the first oil collector 4.1 and the second oil collector 4.2 will display the oil level in real time. When the level reaches a certain threshold, it will remind you that the oil needs to be drained. At this time, there is no need to stop the machine; you only need to open the valve on the oil drain pipe 11 to drain the oil.

[0042] The centrifugal compressor oil collection system provided by this utility model is equipped with a first oil collector 4.1 and a second oil collector 4.2 to promptly discharge the oil sludge condensed in the inner cavity of the volute 2 and the sealing ring 14, ensuring the stable operation of the centrifugal compressor and preventing the centrifugal compressor from shutting down.
