Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical seal technology, and in particular to a mechanical seal device with zero material contamination. Background Technology

[0002] Dry-grip seals and wet-contact seals are both common mechanical seal methods. Dry-grip seals are mainly used to reduce wear and frictional heat in environments without fluid media. Their working principle relies on the tight fit between the contact surfaces of the dynamic and static sealing rings under the pressure of an elastic element, achieving a seal through relative sliding. Existing dry-grip seals include graphite-silicon carbide dry-grip and polymer-to-polymer dry-grip seals, but dry-grip seals lead to increased friction, thus increasing energy consumption. Wet-contact seals, on the other hand, refer to seals used in liquid-lubricated environments, where the lubrication of the lubricating fluid reduces friction between the dynamic and static rings, making them suitable for various industrial equipment requiring liquid lubrication. Wet-contact seals also involve direct contact between the sealing element and the mating part, generating friction and heat during rotation. Most existing dry-grip and wet-contact seals rely on direct contact friction between the sealing element and the mating part, leading to wear on the sealing surface and the need for coolant cooling due to frictional heat. However, since the coolant is externally sourced, it may contain impurities that contaminate materials, failing to meet current market demands. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The utility model will be further illustrated by way of examples below, but the utility model is not limited in the scope of the examples.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] like Figs. 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a mechanical seal device with zero material contamination. The mechanical seal device includes a mechanical seal 1, which is mounted on a device shaft 2, forming a sealed cavity 3 with the device shaft 2. The mechanical seal 1 includes a bushing 4 and a transmission ring 5, which are mounted on the device shaft 2. A pressure cap 6 is provided on the bushing 4, with one end connected to the device and the other end connected to the bushing 4. The bushing 4, pressure cap 6, and transmission ring 5 divide the sealed cavity into a material cavity 31 and an atmospheric cavity 32. An air inlet 7 is provided on the pressure cap 6, and a sliding seal 8 is provided at the end of the connection between the pressure cap 6 and the bushing 4 near the atmospheric cavity 32. A retaining ring 9 is connected to the sliding seal 8. In this embodiment, the pressure cap 6 is mounted on the device by connecting screws 10. A rubber sealing ring 14 is provided at the connection between the bushing 4 and the device shaft 1, and a rubber sealing ring is provided in the inner hole of the bushing 4. The sliding seal 8 is composed of a polymer material and a spring.

[0020] In this embodiment, a labyrinth seal 12 is provided on the side of the bushing 4 near the material cavity 31.

[0021] In this embodiment, the transmission ring 5 is connected to the bushing 4, and the transmission ring 5 is connected to the bushing 4 by the set screw 11. The transmission ring 5 is located in the atmospheric cavity 32.

[0022] In this embodiment, a positioning block 13 is provided on the side of the bushing 4 near the transmission ring 5. The positioning block 13 is installed on the bushing 4 by an internal hexagonal head screw 15.

[0023] This embodiment provides a mechanical seal device with zero material contamination. The mechanical seal device of this invention utilizes the frictional heat generated by fluid passing through a narrow, curved space, thereby reducing the fluid velocity and reducing leakage to achieve a seal. This mechanical seal does not involve direct contact friction between the sealing end faces, thus avoiding heat generation and eliminating the need for cooling liquid, thereby preventing contamination of the material.

[0024] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The starting shaft 2 transmits torque to the bushing 4 under the action of the power transmission ring 5 and the set screw 11, causing relative rotation between the bushing 4 and the pressure cap 6. A gas or inert gas, 0.1 to 0.2 MPa larger than the material in the material chamber 31, is introduced through the air inlet 7. The gas in the atmospheric chamber 32 undergoes two throttling cycles before passing through the sliding seal 8 to prevent leakage. After two throttling cycles, the material in the material chamber 31, combined with the labyrinth seal 12, creates a rigid air wall at the labyrinth seal 12 to prevent material leakage towards the bushing 4, achieving the desired sealing purpose. Since this seal has no end-face friction and no frictional heat is generated, it does not require coolant cooling, meaning it will not be contaminated by impurities in the coolant.

Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of this utility model, but all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
