Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fluid machinery equipment technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency channel bearing component used in a single-stage cantilever pump. Background Technology

[0002] Single-stage cantilever centrifugal pumps account for a significant proportion of applications in the petrochemical industry. Excessive temperature rise in the bearings of large-scale single-stage cantilever centrifugal pumps is a major technical challenge, especially under high-temperature conditions. Excessive temperature rise shortens the bearing's lifespan and consequently affects the lifespan of bearing components. Currently, there are two main methods to address the bearing temperature rise problem.

[0003] One method is to use an oil slinger ring and a fan for cooling. This method mainly cools the outside of the bearing. However, the temperature field is uneven, and the bearing far from the fan still has a high temperature rise. The oil slinger ring throws lubricating oil into the bearing housing cavity, which may result in insufficient lubrication of the bearing and reduce its service life.

[0004] Secondly, adding a finned tube cooling system to the lubricating oil sump can reduce the temperature of the lubricating oil. Due to the poor thermal conductivity of lubricating oil, the continuously running bearing will cause the lubricating oil around it to generate excessively high local temperatures, which in turn will lead to excessively high bearing temperatures and affect the bearing's service life.

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, it is necessary to research and design a new type of high-efficiency channel bearing component to overcome the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the technical problems mentioned above, such as uneven temperature field distribution, high temperature rise of bearings far from the fan, insufficient bearing lubrication, excessive local temperature rise of lubricating oil around the bearing, excessive bearing temperature, and impact on bearing life, a high-efficiency channel bearing component is provided.

[0007] The technical means adopted in this utility model are as follows:

[0008] A high-efficiency channel bearing component includes: a bearing housing, a bearing gland, a pump shaft, an oil slinger ring, an oil slinger ring sleeve, and an oil collection rack;

[0009] Furthermore, an oil slinger ring is installed in the middle of the pump shaft, and an oil slinger ring is installed in the groove of the oil slinger ring.

[0010] Furthermore, the pump shaft is externally fitted with a bearing housing and a bearing pump cover;

[0011] Furthermore, an oil collection rack is installed inside the bearing housing;

[0012] Furthermore, the oil collection rack is a reverse cone with a certain slope to facilitate the flow of lubricating oil;

[0013] Furthermore, oil channels A and B are drilled at both ends of the oil collection frame.

[0014] Furthermore, a pair of angular contact bearings are installed on the drive end of the bearing housing and locked in place by lock nuts and washers;

[0015] Furthermore, a deep groove ball bearing is installed at the non-drive end of the bearing housing to withstand the radial force generated by the impeller.

[0016] Furthermore, after the pump shaft is fitted with the drive end and non-drive end bearings, it is transferred into the bearing housing, and then the bearing cover is assembled.

[0017] Furthermore, a non-drive side mechanical seal is installed on the non-drive side of the bearing housing;

[0018] Furthermore, a drive-side mechanical seal is fitted onto the bearing pump cover.

[0019] Furthermore, the bearing housing is machined with an oil return channel, which is a certain distance from the bottom of the bearing. This facilitates oil storage, ensures bearing lubrication, further reduces bearing temperature, and extends bearing service life.

[0020] Furthermore, an oil passage is provided on the bearing cap at the position corresponding to the oil return channel of the bearing housing to guide the lubricating oil to flow back to the oil sump.

[0021] Furthermore, a vent plug is provided on the bearing housing to balance the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the bearing components.

[0022] Furthermore, several heat sinks are provided on the bearing housing, and a fan is installed near the drive end bearing to accelerate the airflow around the bearing components and reduce the temperature rise of the bearing components.

[0023] Furthermore, a pure oil mist interface A is provided on the bearing housing, and a pure oil mist interface B is provided on the bearing cover, so that when the bearing components adopt the pure oil mist lubrication scheme, the lubricating oil is collected into the inner cavity of the bearing housing through the channel-type oil passage.

[0024] Furthermore, the bearing housing is equipped with vibration test mounting interfaces, integrated oil cup interfaces, cooling / heating winding tube interfaces, and temperature sensor mounting interfaces on both sides.

[0025] Furthermore, the bearing components can employ two lubrication methods: pure oil mist lubrication or oil slinger ring lubrication, which more effectively reduces the bearing housing temperature and extends the bearing's service life.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0027] As the shaft rotates, the lubricating oil is drawn from the bottom of the oil tank by the oil slinger ring. At the same time, the oil is thrown out as the oil slinger ring rotates. Several heat dissipation fins are provided on the outside of the bearing housing. Most of the lubricating oil is thrown onto the inner wall of the housing, which helps to cool the lubricating oil. Another part of the lubricating oil falls onto the oil collector of the bearing housing and enters the lubricating oil passage through the oil passage hole on the oil collector, and enters the rear of the bearing. The lubricating oil delivered to the bearing in this way can return to the oil sump by flowing through the bearing.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0029] 1. The high-efficiency channel bearing component provided by this utility model effectively reduces the temperature rise of the bearing component and significantly improves the bearing life. Especially in high-temperature conditions, the temperature rise of the bearing component is effectively controlled.

[0030] 2. The high-efficiency channel bearing component provided by this utility model allows the bearing to be better lubricated, thus extending the bearing's service life.

[0031] In summary, the technical solution of this utility model solves the problems in the prior art such as uneven temperature field distribution, high temperature rise of bearings far from the fan, insufficient bearing lubrication, excessive local temperature rise of lubricating oil around the bearing, excessive bearing temperature, and impact on bearing life.
