Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slurry pump sealing technology, and in particular to a novel mechanical seal for slurry pumps. Background Technology

[0002] Slurry pumps are widely used in industries such as mining, power, metallurgy, and coal. They mainly consist of a pump body, pump cover, pump shaft, bearing assembly, and shaft sealing device. Shaft seals are divided into packing seals, auxiliary impeller seals, and mechanical seals. Due to their high cost and difficult maintenance, mechanical seals are rarely used. Auxiliary impeller seals are also rarely used due to limitations. Currently, packing seals are the most common, and packing wire is often used as the packing material.

[0003] Chinese patent application number CN201410081492.1 discloses a cavity-locking zero-leakage shaft seal mechanism for a slurry pump, comprising a cavity-locking shaft seal box, a cavity-locking gland, and a pump shaft. A cavity-locking sleeve is fitted onto the pump shaft, and the outer wall of the front end of the cavity-locking sleeve has an annular protrusion. The mechanism includes a moving ring push-tightening ring, a cavity-locking secondary gland, a moving ring, and a stationary ring. Multiple springs are respectively provided in the annular cavity at the bottom of the moving ring push-tightening ring. One end of each spring abuts against the rear outer wall of the annular protrusion, and the other end abuts against the bottom surface of the annular cavity. The cavity-locking secondary gland locks the moving ring push-tightening ring. The moving ring is fixed to the outer wall of the cavity-locking sleeve and abuts against the rear end of the moving ring push-tightening ring. The stationary ring is fixed to the inner wall of the cavity-locking gland. The moving ring and the stationary ring are in a non-contact dynamic pressure type sealing fit. A packing and a water seal ring are respectively provided between the inner wall of the cavity-locking shaft seal box and the cavity-locking sleeve. While the aforementioned patents can provide a good seal, the high density and numerous impurities in the fluid transported by the slurry pump, especially in the harsh working conditions of mineral processing plants, often lead to increased machine temperature, resulting in a deterioration in the sealing effect and affecting its use. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model proposes a new type of mechanical seal for slurry pumps to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

A coolant inlet and a coolant outlet are formed on the outer wall of the second pressure plate, communicating with the coolant cavity. The coolant inlet and the coolant outlet are respectively connected to the spaces at both ends of the spring seat.

[0009] Furthermore, the coolant inlet and the coolant outlet are connected together through a coolant circulation system.

[0010] Furthermore, slots for fixing the compression spring are formed on both sides of the spring seat.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model by adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the first pressure cover and the second pressure cover are installed together to achieve a mechanical seal, the rotation and running-in of the rotating ring and the stationary ring form a mechanical seal, the double sealing structure can set a coolant chamber outside the rotating ring seat, and use the circulating coolant to cool the sealing structure and extend its service life; the rotating ring seat is provided with a threaded groove outside, and as the rotating ring seat rotates with the rotating ring, a threaded pump can be formed to automatically drive the coolant to circulate, ensuring the cooling effect.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1-5As shown, the new type of mechanical seal for a slurry pump includes a shaft body 1, an equipment bushing 2 installed outside the shaft body 1, and a mechanical seal bushing 3 installed outside the equipment bushing 2. The mechanical seal bushing 3 is fixed to the equipment bushing 2 by a bushing locking ring 17. A spring seat 4 is nested outside the mechanical seal bushing 3. A first moving ring 6 and a second moving ring 7 are provided on both sides of the spring seat 4, which are fitted outside the mechanical seal bushing 3. Two sets of compression springs 5 ​​are installed on both sides of the spring seat 4. The outer circles of the first moving ring 6 and the second moving ring 7 are slidably installed inside the spring seat 4. Gear rings are formed on the inner walls at both ends of the spring seat 4. Teeth that slide with the gear rings are formed on the outer circles of the first moving ring 6 and the second moving ring 7, thereby ensuring that the first moving ring 6 and the second moving ring 7 can drive the spring seat 4 to rotate together. A first stationary ring 8 is provided on the side of the first moving ring 6 away from the spring seat 4. The first stationary ring 8 is fixed inside the first pressure cover 10 by an anti-rotation pin. A second stationary ring 9 is provided on the side of the second moving ring 7 away from the spring seat 4. The second stationary ring 9 is connected to the spring seat 4. The anti-rotation pin is fixed inside the second pressure cover 11. The first pressure cover 10 and the second pressure cover 11 are fixed together by bolts. The bushing locking ring 17 is stuck at the end of the second pressure cover 11 and is rotatably installed with the second pressure cover 11 to protect the second stationary ring 9. The first moving ring 6 and the first stationary ring 8 are rotatably fitted, and the stationary ring and the moving ring are run-in to seal the cooling medium. The second moving ring 7 and the second stationary ring 9 are rotatably fitted. A coolant cavity 12 is formed between the inner cavity of the first pressure cover 10 and the second pressure cover 11 and the spring seat 4. A coolant inlet hole 15 and a coolant outlet hole 16 are formed on the outer wall of the second pressure cover 11, which are connected to the coolant cavity 12. The coolant inlet hole 15 and the coolant outlet hole 16 are respectively connected to the spaces at both ends of the spring seat 4. The circulation of coolant maximizes the removal of heat and extends the service life. The cartridge-type double-end mechanical seal effectively improves the sealing effect, reduces slurry leakage, and reduces environmental pollution and maintenance costs.

[0022] In this embodiment, a rotating ring seat 13 is detachably connected and installed on the outer circle of the spring seat 4.

When the rotating ring seat 13 rotates with the rotating ring, the threaded groove 14 can be used to automatically deliver the coolant from one end of the coolant inlet hole to one end of the coolant outlet hole, thereby realizing the circulation of the coolant.

[0023] In this embodiment, in order to improve the mechanical seal effect, sealing rings are fixed between the equipment bushing 2 and the shaft body 1, between the mechanical seal bushing 3 and the equipment bushing 2, between the first moving ring 6 and the mechanical seal bushing 3, between the second moving ring 7 and the mechanical seal bushing 3, between the first stationary ring 8 and the first pressure cover 10, between the second stationary ring 9 and the second pressure cover 11, and between the first pressure cover 10 and the second pressure cover 11.

[0025] In this embodiment, slots for fixing compression springs 5 ​​are formed on both sides of the spring seat 4. The slots on both sides are staggered to facilitate the installation of the two sets of compression springs 5.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During installation, the first stationary ring 8 is first fixed on the inner wall of the first pressure cover 10, the second stationary ring 9 is fixed on the inner wall of the second pressure cover 11, the second moving ring 7 is placed inside the second pressure cover 11, and then the moving ring seat 13 is installed on the outside of the second moving ring 7 by means of threads. The compression spring 5 and the spring seat 4 are slidably installed inside the moving ring seat 13. The filler is filled on the side of the spring seat 4 away from the compression spring 5. Then the first moving ring 6 is installed, and the first moving ring 6 is used to compress the compression spring 5 and the filler. Finally, the first pressure cover 10 and the second pressure cover 11 are fixed together with bolts.
