[0041] Positioning ring 6 is sleeved on the second diameter section 12b and is connected with the first diameter section 12a end, and the outer diameter end of the positioning ring 6 is provided with the step structure 61 distributed in the axial direction;

[0042] Oil seal ring 4 forms the oil return cavity 44 communicated with the total oil return hole 22 with the bearing 3, and the inner hole of the oil seal ring 4 extends in the radial direction and is provided with a plurality of first seal rings 41 spaced apart in the axial direction and forming a gap seal pair with the first diameter section 12a, a plurality of first seal rings 41 and the first diameter section 12a form a first pressure relief cavity 42, and the first pressure relief cavity 42 is communicated with the total oil return hole 22;

[0043] Airtight sealing ring 5 is fixed on gear box 2, and forms cavity 45 communicated with atmosphere between oil sealing ring 4, inner hole of airtight sealing ring 5 extends radially and has several second sealing rings 53 which are distributed in steps along axial direction and form gap sealing pair with step structure 61, and several second sealing rings 53 form second pressure relief cavity 52 with step structure 61.

[0044] In one embodiment, first pressure relief cavity 42 is formed between each of two adjacent first sealing rings 41 and first diameter section 12a, and oil return hole 43 communicated with each first pressure relief cavity 42 is opened radially on oil sealing ring 4, and each oil return hole 43 is communicated with total oil return hole 22.

[0045] In one embodiment, second pressure relief cavity 52 is formed between each of two adjacent second sealing rings 53 and step structure 61.

[0046] In one embodiment, radial dimension of positioning ring 6 gradually increases along direction away from oil sealing ring 4.

[0047] Specifically, labyrinth oil sealing structure is formed between several first sealing rings 41 and first diameter section 12a, and labyrinth airtight sealing structure is formed between several second sealing rings 53 and positioning ring 6.

[0048] It should be noted that, in original limited axial space, labyrinth airtight sealing structure of airtight sealing ring 5 is designed as stepped structure, so that sealing property of stepped structure is superior to original axial arrangement structure under the premise of constant sealing path length, thus, axial length of airtight sealing can be shortened and oil sealing length can be increased correspondingly, so as to improve oil sealing reliability.

[0049] In one embodiment, oil throwing gap is formed between oil throwing ring 11 and oil sealing ring 4; outer part of one end of oil sealing ring 4 extends to bearing 3, and inner part of other end of oil sealing ring 4 extends axially, so as to facilitate formation of oil return cavity 44 and cavity 45.

[0050] In one embodiment, anti-rotation pin 9 is arranged between positioning ring 6 and end of first diameter section 12a, and second diameter section 12b is accurately matched with inner hole of positioning ring 6 to position impeller 7.

[0051] Positioning ring 6 connected with impeller 7 at one end of high-speed rotating shaft 1 is designed as split structure, so that oil sealing ring 4 and airtight sealing ring 5 can be made as integral structure, which not only facilitates machining and installation, but also can strictly control sealing gap between first sealing ring 41 of oil sealing ring 4 and second serrated ring of airtight sealing ring 5 and rotating shaft 1, so as to improve sealing property.

[0052] In one embodiment, the end of the first sealing ring 41 and the second sealing ring 53 is sawtooth-shaped.

[0053] In one embodiment, a screw is further included, a screw hole is arranged along the axial center of the extension section, one end of the screw passes through the center hole of the impeller 7 and is threadedly connected with the screw hole, and the other end of the screw is connected with the fastening part 8.

[0054] The sealing principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0055] When the high-speed rotating shaft 1 rotates at high speed, most of the pressure oil supplied to the bearing 3 will return to the gear box inner cavity 21, and part of the oil will enter the oil return cavity 44, most of the oil will enter the total oil return hole 22, the oil throwing ring 11 can prevent more oil from entering the labyrinth oil seal structure of the oil seal ring 4, and through the "oil blocking and pressure reduction" effect of the first sealing ring 41 and the first pressure relief cavity 42, the oil pressure in the last first pressure relief cavity 42 is balanced with the atmospheric pressure, so as to prevent oil mist from leaking to the atmosphere.

[0056] The high-speed rotating shaft 1 drives the impeller 7 to rotate at high speed, and the pressure gas in the back cavity 75 of the impeller will be subjected to the "gas blocking and pressure reduction" effect of the second sealing ring 53 and the second pressure relief cavity 52 distributed in steps, so that a small amount of gas leaks into the cavity 45 and then enters the atmosphere.

[0057] Due to the adoption of the stepped labyrinth gas seal structure, when the sealing path length is the same as the axial length of the gas seal in the prior art, the axial size of the gas seal ring 5 can be reduced, and the reduced length can be increased to the axial length of the oil seal ring 4, so that the number of the first sealing ring 41 and the first pressure relief cavity 42 of the oil seal ring 4 is increased by 2-3 compared with the structure before improvement, thereby improving the reliability of the oil seal.

[0058] In addition, due to the adoption of the split structure of the high-speed shaft and the positioning ring 6, the gas seal ring 5 and the oil seal ring 4 can be made into an integral structure, solving the problem of the increase of the sealing gap caused by the split structure in the prior art, thereby affecting the sealing performance.

[0059] Finally, it should be explained that the above specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical scheme of the utility model and not to limit, although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical scheme of the utility model can be modified or replaced equivalently without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical scheme of the utility model, and all should be covered in the claim range of the utility model.
