Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical seal structures, specifically a flushable double-end mechanical seal device. Background Technology
[0002] Rotary pumps are widely used in industries such as food, beverages, condiments, coatings, daily chemicals, fine chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. These industries place high demands on mechanical seals, requiring thorough cleaning to prevent unsanitary conditions. Because rotary pumps primarily handle viscous materials, the operating conditions for mechanical seals are extremely harsh. Most mechanical seals currently rely on the axial force generated by a large spring to ensure a tight fit between the dynamic and static rings, preventing material leakage. However, under complex operating conditions, the pressure within the pump chamber fluctuates constantly, and the sealing face wears down. Traditional large springs cannot compensate in time and fail, leading to material leakage. When conveying easily crystallizing materials, crystals easily deposit on the sealing face, causing seal failure. When conveying high-temperature materials, the sealing face often burns due to excessive heat. Furthermore, due to the complexity of the rotary pump structure, the mechanical seal needs to be simple in design and easy to disassemble and replace, rather than requiring the rotary pump to be disassembled piecemeal before replacing the mechanical seal, which only increases trouble and causes unnecessary losses. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problems of existing technologies, this invention provides a flushable double-end mechanical seal device. When conveying special materials, a coolant pipe can be connected to effectively lubricate and cool the sealing device, flushing away any remaining material on the sealing end face, thus ensuring the stability of the seal and the hygiene and safety of the pump conveying process.
[0004] This utility model includes a pump shaft and a pump chamber. A rotor is mounted on the front end of the pump shaft and fixed to the pump shaft with a rotor nut. A main mechanical seal rotating ring is mounted on one end of the rotor. A double-end mechanical seal seat is mounted on one end of the pump chamber and fixed with screws. A retaining ring and a push ring are mounted on one end of the mechanical seal seat. A wound wave spring is installed between the push ring and the mechanical seal seat. The main mechanical seal stationary ring is installed in the pump chamber and cooperates with the main mechanical seal rotating ring to form a sealing surface. A secondary mechanical seal stationary ring is mounted on the other end of the double-end mechanical seal seat. The secondary mechanical seal stationary ring is embedded in the stationary ring. The secondary mechanical seal rotating ring is mounted on the pump shaft and forms a sealing surface with the secondary mechanical seal stationary ring.
[0005] In a further improvement, one end of the rotor has a circular hole with a cylindrical pin installed, which matches the notch on the main mechanical seal rotating ring. When the pump shaft rotates, it drives the rotor and the main mechanical seal rotating ring to rotate.
[0006] In a further improvement, the push ring has a stamped boss that matches the notch on the main mechanical seal stationary ring, thereby fixing the main mechanical seal stationary ring inside the pump cavity.
[0007] In a further improvement, the pump shaft has a notch that mates with the inner ring of the auxiliary mechanical seal's moving ring. When the pump shaft rotates, it drives the auxiliary mechanical seal's moving ring to rotate.
[0008] Further improvements include a first O-ring between the rotor and the main mechanical seal rotating ring, a second O-ring between the pump chamber and the main mechanical seal stationary ring, a third O-ring between the pump chamber and the double-end face mechanical seal seat, a fourth O-ring between the rotor and the rotor nut, a fifth O-ring between the rotor and the pump shaft, a sixth O-ring between the auxiliary mechanical seal stationary ring and the double-end face mechanical seal seat, and a seventh O-ring between the auxiliary mechanical seal rotating ring and the pump shaft, to prevent leakage of materials and coolant.
[0009] In a further improvement, a disc spring is provided between the rotor nut and the rotor to press the rotor; the disc spring is fixed to the rotor nut with an eighth O-ring for easy assembly.
[0010] 1. Utilizing the advantage of uniform force distribution of the spiral wave spring, the sealing end face is timely and adequately compensated when the rotor moves axially.
[0011] 2. The main mechanical seal is built-in; replacement can be performed simply by opening the pump cover and removing the rotor. The auxiliary mechanical seal is external, allowing for direct visualization of coolant leaks.
[0012] 3. Throughout the entire conveying process, the conveyed medium only comes into contact with the moving and stationary rings and the O-ring, ensuring hygiene and safety during the conveying process within the pump.
[0013] 4. When conveying special materials, the coolant can enter the mechanical seal through the double-end mechanical seal seat to cool and flush the end faces of the main mechanical seal and the auxiliary mechanical seal, without contacting the material and causing leakage.
[0014] 5. Install an O-ring on the rotor nut to fix the disc spring to the rotor nut for easy assembly. Attached Figure Description
