Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical installation device technology, specifically relating to a liquid nitrogen rapid cooling shaft hole assembly sealing device. Background Technology
[0002] Most mechanical assembly in steel enterprises involves the dismantling and installation of equipment such as speed reducers, motor couplings, large fans, and hydraulic couplings. This requires the assembly of numerous shaft holes in various components. Maintenance work typically employs hot assembly, but this method presents several problems, including: ① Polishing shaft holes with polishing pads affects assembly accuracy; ② Assembling large workpieces presents drawbacks, necessitating the use of impact hammers. Manual pushing of the workpiece can lead to rework if obstruction occurs, causing maintenance delays and impacting production; ③ Obstruction in the assembly of large couplings requires forceful impact with impact hammers, which can reduce equipment lifespan. Hot assembly operations pose a high risk of maintenance delays, low efficiency, and high labor intensity for employees.
[0003] The following problems exist in actual use:
[0004] 1. Hot assembly requires specialized heating equipment and fuel, especially for shafts, bearings, and gears with a diameter greater than 200 mm. Some equipment requires the manufacture of heating equipment, such as oil boiling tanks and heating boxes. The large size and weight of spare parts increase the difficulty of assembly and also increase costs.
[0005] 2. Before each assembly, the shaft head of the equipment is usually polished with a polishing machine. Through the regular maintenance cycle, the shaft head will be polished and polished multiple times, which will damage the assembly interference accuracy of the shaft hole.
[0006] 3. For example, when assembling a coupling with a diameter exceeding 300mm*500mm, the large size or weight of the workpiece can easily cause the shaft hole to jam if pushed manually during the assembly process. It must be quickly inserted into place. Otherwise, the heated coupling will quickly transfer heat to the shaft head, causing it to expand and resulting in excessive clearance in the shaft hole, leading to rework. This can easily cause maintenance delays and production accidents.
[0007] 4. For example, conventional assembly of couplings requires the use of a sledgehammer for striking, especially for couplings larger than 300mm. A hammer must be used; otherwise, if jamming occurs during the manual assembly process, the hammer must be used to violently strike the coupling to help it be assembled in place. The bearing housing will then bear a strong impact force, which can easily damage the bearing housing and reduce the bearing life.
[0008] Therefore, a liquid nitrogen rapid cooling shaft hole assembly sealing device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0026] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0027] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0028] Example 1, as Figure 1-2 As shown, a liquid nitrogen rapid cooling shaft hole assembly sealing device includes a liquid nitrogen container 6, which is used to contain and store injected liquid nitrogen. The liquid nitrogen rapidly cools the shaft, achieving rapid cooling of the components and quickly reaching the process temperature for assembly. Sealing caps 1 are connected to the front and rear sides of the liquid nitrogen container 6, and the sealing caps 1 are used for quick connection of flanges with shaft holes of different inner diameters. Flange holes 3 are provided around both ends of the liquid nitrogen container 6, and the flange holes 3 are used to connect with the disassembly cover plate 8 of the sealing cap 1.
[0029] The inner wall of the sealing cap 1 is provided with a sealing cap groove 9. The top of the liquid nitrogen container 6 is provided with a liquid nitrogen injection port 4 and a positioning hole 5. The positioning hole 5 is used to position the shaft inside the liquid nitrogen container 6 that needs to be frozen. The bottom of the liquid nitrogen container 6 is provided with a lower drain port 7, which is used to discharge the liquid nitrogen that fills the internal space of the liquid nitrogen container 6.
[0030] The specific design of the aforementioned key components will be discussed in detail below:
[0031] The sealing cap 1 and the disassembly cover plate 8 are provided with flange holes 3 around their edges, and are connected and fixed to both ends of the liquid nitrogen container 6 by bolts.
[0032] The liquid nitrogen container 6 is a hollow cylinder, and two sealing caps 1 are connected to the front and rear sides of the liquid nitrogen container 6.
[0033] The outer side of the sealing gland 1 is provided with a disassembly cover plate 8, which is used to seal during cooling. The inner side of the sealing gland 1 is provided with a sealing ring hole 2, which is used to place a sealing ring to ensure the sealing of the flange connection.
[0034] The sealing cover groove 9 adopts a labyrinth seal style. The inside of the sealing cover groove 9 is filled with a sealing medium, such as a pressure packing. After the shaft is inserted, the sealing cover groove 9 seals both ends of the liquid nitrogen container 6.
[0035] The liquid nitrogen injection port 4 adopts a wing nut and is configured with an internal thread structure for connecting to the liquid nitrogen device for injection.
[0036] It can be used for multiple general-purpose inner diameter sizes (e.g., φ150, φ200, φ480, etc.) and is used in conjunction with the shafts of relevant equipment in steel enterprises. It is easy to match with the size of the equipment on site. The seal is achieved by placing a pressure pack or other sealing material inside the sealing cover groove 9, which is responsible for the cut-off of the liquid nitrogen container 6 and plays a sealing role.
[0037] Example 2, as Figure 3 As shown, a liquid nitrogen rapid cooling shaft hole assembly sealing device is provided, wherein one end of the liquid nitrogen container 6 is inserted into the shaft head of the motor 10.
[0038] At this point, the sealing baffle at one end is removed, and the motor 10 shaft head is inserted into the liquid nitrogen container 6 from this end. The sealing cover groove 9 fits tightly against the motor 10 shaft to provide a stop seal. The other end is sealed by the sealing cover 1 and the removal cover plate 8. The position of the motor 10 shaft head is positioned through the positioning hole 5, and liquid nitrogen is injected through the liquid nitrogen injection port 4. After the freezing and cooling is completed, the liquid nitrogen is discharged from the lower drain port 7. Then, the sealing cover 1 and the removal cover plate 8 are removed to take out the motor 10 and complete the operation of the gear shaft 11.
[0039] Example 2, as Figure 4As shown, a liquid nitrogen rapid cooling shaft hole assembly sealing device is described, in which the intermediate shaft of gear shaft 11 is placed inside the liquid nitrogen container 6. At this time, the sealing caps 1 at both ends and the disassembly cover plate 8 are removed, and the intermediate shaft of gear shaft 11 is placed inside the liquid nitrogen container 6. Then, the sealing caps 1 at both ends are connected, and the grooves 9 of the sealing caps are tightly attached to the gear shaft 11 to provide a shut-off seal. The position of the motor shaft head is positioned through the positioning hole 5, and liquid nitrogen is injected from the liquid nitrogen injection port 4. After the freezing and cooling is completed, the liquid nitrogen is discharged from the lower drain port 7. Then, the sealing caps 1 and the disassembly cover plate 8 are removed to take out the gear shaft 11 to complete the cooling operation.
