AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the prior art, the roller body needs lubricating oil for lubrication when rotating. When the outer side is dehydrated, the liquid will flow into the bearing, causing the oil and water in the bearing to mix. At the same time, the use of sealing strips will lead to excessive friction and affect the dynamic balance of the roller body.

Method used

A static seal consisting of a first sealing element, a second sealing element, and a third sealing element is used, combined with a dynamic seal with a second sealing element featuring triangular protrusions, to form a labyrinth-type gap seal. This seal is fixed with bolts and utilizes the gap and flow-limiting groove structure to reduce frictional resistance and guide liquid out.

Benefits of technology

It effectively prevents liquid from seeping into the bearing, reduces frictional loss, ensures the stability of the roller's high-speed rotation, reduces downtime, and avoids dynamic balance problems caused by direct friction of the sealing strip.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum rollers, and in particular to a structure for preventing liquid from seeping into a bearing. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology, after the pulp is uniformly treated in the papermaking process, due to the large amount of water in the pulp, it is necessary to press out the water during the paper forming process. Vacuum rolls are commonly used dewatering components on papermaking machines, which play a decisive role in paper forming, dewatering, and the speed of the paper machine. They also play a key role in the physical properties, optical properties, and printability of the paper. However, the current rolls require lubricating oil for lubrication when rotating. During dewatering on the outside, liquid will flow into the bearing, causing the oil and water in the bearing to mix. At the same time, if a sealing strip is used, it will lead to excessive friction and affect the dynamic balance of the roll. Utility Model Content
