[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.
[0021] Please see Figs. 1-3 A packing seal structure for a vacuum pump includes: a vacuum pump body 1, a packing box 2, and a gland 3. The packing box 2 is welded to one side of the vacuum pump body 1, and the gland 3 and the packing box 2 are detachably connected.
[0022] The sealing mechanism includes a sealing element 4 disposed between the gland 3 and the stuffing box 2. The sealing element 4 has an annular structure and a semi-circular convex rib 5 is fixedly connected to both sides of its outer wall. An annular groove matching the convex rib 5 is opened on the opposite side of the gland 3 and the stuffing box 2. An outwardly extending extension piece 6 is provided around the periphery of the sealing element 4.
[0023] The limiting mechanism includes two arc-shaped limiting covers 7, which are fastened to the outer wall of the connection between the pressure cover 3 and the stuffing box 2. The two limiting covers 7 are symmetrically arranged. Two expansion plates 8 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting cover 7. Two symmetrically distributed positioning rods 9 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both the pressure cover 3 and the stuffing box 2. The two positioning rods 9 located on the same side pass through the two expansion plates 8 respectively, and the outer walls of both are threaded with locking nuts 10.
[0024] In this embodiment: the semi-circular protrusions 5 on both sides of the seal 4 are embedded in the annular grooves of the gland 3 and the stuffing box 2, forming the first mechanical seal. The extension piece 6 around the seal extends outward when the gland is tightened, filling the interface gap and forming the second dynamic seal. The two arc-shaped limiting covers 7 are fastened at the connection between the gland 3 and the stuffing box 2. The trapezoidal contact surface between the stuffing box 2 and the gland 3 matches the inner side of the limiting cover 7. Through the cooperation of the expansion plate 8 and the positioning rod 9, when the locking nut 10 is rotated, the limiting cover 7 is driven to gradually move towards the gland 3. The cover 3 moves to one side of the stuffing box 2, thereby pressing and fixing the extension piece 6 to further improve the sealing effect. The conical sealing surface 11 on the inner side of the cover 3 cooperates with the conical sealing ring 12 to generate radial expansion force when axially pressed, which enhances the sealing effect at the connection between the cover 3 and the stuffing box 2. The bottom bushing 13, packing 14, and sealing ring 15 are sequentially fitted onto the outside of the main shaft 16. The axial pressing force of the cover 3 achieves radial sealing of the main shaft 16 by the packing 14. The sealing ring 15 can introduce lubricating or cooling medium to reduce frictional heat.
[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the sealing mechanism also includes a conical sealing surface 11 fixedly connected to the inner side of the pressure cover 3, and a conical sealing ring 12 matching the conical sealing surface 11 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the stuffing box 2.
[0026] In this embodiment, the conical sealing surface 11 on the inner side of the gland 3 cooperates with the conical sealing ring 12 to generate radial expansion force when axially pressed, thereby enhancing the sealing effect at the connection between the gland 3 and the stuffing box 2.
[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the sealing mechanism also includes a bottom bushing 13, a packing 14, and a sealing ring 15, all of which are disposed in the inner cavity of the packing box 2.
[0028] In this embodiment: the bottom bushing 13, the packing 14 and the sealing ring 15 are all disposed in the inner cavity of the packing box 2. The sealing ring 15 can introduce lubricating or cooling media to reduce frictional heat.
[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the inner cavity of the vacuum pump body 1 is provided with a main shaft 16. The left side of the main shaft 16 is connected to the pump blade of the vacuum pump body 1, and the right side of the main shaft 16 penetrates through the right side of the vacuum pump body 1. The bottom bushing 13, the packing 14 and the sealing ring 15 are all sleeved on the outer side wall of the main shaft 16.
[0030] In this embodiment: the bottom bushing 13, the packing 14, and the sealing ring 15 are sequentially fitted onto the outside of the main shaft 16. The axial clamping force of the pressure cap 3 achieves radial sealing of the main shaft 16 by the packing 14. The sealing ring 15 can introduce lubricating or cooling media to reduce frictional heat.
[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the contact surface cross-section of the stuffing box 2 and the gland 3 is trapezoidal, and the inner cross-section of the limiting cover 7 matches the trapezoidal structure.
[0032] In this embodiment, the contact surface of the stuffing box 2 and the gland 3 has a trapezoidal cross-section. The inner cross-section of the limiting cover 7 matches the trapezoidal structure. When the locking nut 10 is rotated, the limiting cover 7 is driven to gradually move towards the side of the gland 3 and the stuffing box 2, thereby pressing and fixing the extension piece 6, and further improving the sealing effect.
[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, both the sealing element 4 and the conical sealing ring 12 are made of high-temperature resistant fluororubber.
[0034] In this embodiment, both the seal 4 and the conical sealing ring 12 are made of high-temperature resistant fluororubber, which has good high-temperature resistance, is not easy to age, and has a long service life.
[0035] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The semi-circular protrusions 5 on both sides of the sealing element 4 are embedded in the annular grooves of the gland 3 and the stuffing box 2, forming the first mechanical seal. The extension piece 6 around the periphery of the sealing element extends outward when the gland is tightened, filling the interface gap and forming the second dynamic seal. The two arc-shaped limiting covers 7 are fastened at the connection between the gland 3 and the stuffing box 2. The trapezoidal contact surface between the stuffing box 2 and the gland 3 matches the inner side of the limiting cover 7. Through the cooperation of the expansion plate 8 and the positioning rod 9, when the locking nut 10 is rotated, the limiting cover 7 is driven. The extension piece 6 is gradually moved to one side of the gland 3 and the stuffing box 2, thereby pressing and fixing it to further improve the sealing effect. The conical sealing surface 11 on the inner side of the gland 3 cooperates with the conical sealing ring 12 to generate radial expansion force when axially pressed, which enhances the sealing effect at the connection between the gland 3 and the stuffing box 2. The bottom bushing 13, packing 14, and sealing ring 15 are sequentially fitted onto the outside of the main shaft 16. The radial sealing of the main shaft 16 by the packing 14 is achieved by the axial pressing force of the gland 3. The sealing ring 15 can introduce lubricating or cooling medium to reduce frictional heat.
