Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical sealing equipment, and in particular to a mechanical sealing mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Mechanical seals, as an important component of rotary motion equipment, are widely used in the rotating joints of rotary tables, robotic arms, robots, rotary processing equipment, and other similar devices. They also function as electrical components, responsible for connecting and transmitting signals and current to rotating objects. Therefore, the primary function of mechanical seals is to ensure uninterrupted supply of air pressure, liquid circulation, vacuum, power, and signals during continuous 360-degree rotation of the equipment.
[0003] Existing mechanical seal mechanisms mostly use sealing rings or oil seals for slip rings, which suffer from heat generation, severe wear, and insufficient lifespan during rotational motion. Furthermore, current mechanical seal mechanisms are mostly shaft-end mechanical seals, designed to prevent leakage of the medium within rotating equipment. These types of mechanical seal mechanisms use an elastic element to compensate for the wear of the rotating and stationary rings and to balance the opening forces of the stationary and rotating rings. This elastic element is often a spring, bellows, or wave spring. Since different media pressures result in varying opening forces, significant changes in the inlet pressure of the medium will lead to large variations in the opening force. Existing elastic elements cannot adapt to different and variable media pressures, thus preventing the mechanical seal mechanism from adapting to large-scale changes in the inlet pressure of the medium.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a mechanical seal mechanism, including a shaft 11, a housing 12, and a sealing assembly 13. The housing 12 has a rotary structure and is provided with a sleeve groove, which is fitted onto the shaft 11. A receiving groove is formed between the housing 12 and the shaft 11, and a receiving groove is formed between the inner wall of the sleeve groove and the outer circumferential side surface of the shaft 11. The sealing assembly 13 has a rotary structure.
[0045] The sealing assembly 13 includes a first mounting sleeve 1301, a second mounting sleeve 1302, a stationary ring 1303, an elastic element 1304, a rotating ring 1305, and an adjusting element 1306. The first mounting sleeve 1301, the second mounting sleeve 1302, the stationary ring 1303, the elastic element 1304, the rotating ring 1305, and the adjusting element 1306 are all rotary structures and can be arranged around the shaft 11. The elastic element 1304 is a spring.
[0046] The first mounting sleeve 1301 and the second mounting sleeve 1302 are both disposed within the receiving groove. The first mounting sleeve 1301 and the second mounting sleeve 1302 are sequentially fitted onto the shaft 11 along the radial direction of the shaft 11. The first mounting sleeve 1301 and the second mounting sleeve 1302 together enclose the mounting groove 1318 to form the mounting groove 1318. The second mounting sleeve 1302 is first fitted onto the shaft 11 and abuts against the outer circumferential side of the shaft 11. The first mounting sleeve 1301 is fitted onto the second mounting sleeve 1302, thus forming a groove between the first mounting sleeve 1301 and the second mounting sleeve 1302. The adjusting member 1306 is provided with a fitting groove, and the stationary ring 1303 is installed in the fitting groove of the adjusting member 1306. The stationary ring 1303, the moving ring 1305, and the elastic member 1304 are all disposed within the mounting groove 1318 and abut against the shaft 11 sequentially along the axial direction. There are multiple elastic members 1304, which are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the shaft 11. The elastic element 1304 can extend and retract along the axial direction of the shaft 11. The elastic element 1304 is used to compensate for the wear of the rotating ring 1305 and the stationary ring 1303 and to balance the opening force of the stationary ring 1303 and the rotating ring 1305. Each elastic element 1304 is clamped between the rotating ring 1305 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 1318. The inner wall of the mounting groove 1318 can be located on the first mounting sleeve 1301, or on the second mounting sleeve 1302, or partly on the first mounting sleeve 1301 and partly on the second mounting sleeve 1302. The adjusting member 1306 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 1318 to adjust the compression of each elastic element 1304. Specifically, the first mounting sleeve 1301 and / or the second mounting sleeve 1302 are threadedly connected to the adjusting member 1306. When the adjusting member 1306 is rotated, it slides and pushes the elastic elements 1304, thereby simultaneously changing the compression of each elastic element 1304. The specific number of elastic elements 1304 needs to be calculated based on the stiffness of each elastic element 1304 and the opening force between the stationary ring 1303 and the moving ring 1305.
[0047] The shaft 11 has a first channel 1101, the second mounting sleeve 1302 has a second channel 1311, the first mounting sleeve 1301 has a third channel 1312, and the outer shell 12 has a fourth channel 1201. The first channel 1101, the second channel 1311, the mounting groove 1318, the third channel 1312, and the fourth channel 1201 are connected in sequence. One end of the first channel 1101 is on the end face of the shaft 11 and communicates with the outside of the shaft 11. The other end of the first channel 1101 extends first along the axial direction of the shaft 11 and then along the radial direction of the shaft 11. The second channel 1311 extends along the radial direction of the shaft 11 and communicates with the first channel 1101. The third channel 1312 extends along the radial direction of the shaft 11. The two ends of the third channel 1312 are respectively connected to the second channel 1311 and the fourth channel 1201. The fourth channel 1201 extends along the radial direction of the shaft 11. One end of the fourth channel 1201 is connected to the third channel 1312, and the other end of the fourth channel 1201 is connected to the outside of the outer casing 12. In this way, by injecting a medium into the first channel 1101 or the fourth channel 1201, the medium can circulate. The medium can prevent the shaft 11 from overheating and suffering from severe wear during rotation, which can lead to insufficient lifespan.
[0048] Because the opening force of a mechanical seal varies depending on the pressure of the medium injected, a large change in the inlet pressure of the medium will result in a large change in the opening force. The existing elastic element 1304 cannot adapt to different and variable medium pressures, especially when the inlet pressure of the medium changes over a wide range, the elastic element 1304 cannot balance the opening forces of the stationary ring 1303 and the rotating ring 1305. This application allows the compression of the elastic element 1304 to be adjusted by rotating the adjusting element 1306 according to the inlet pressure of the medium before injection, thereby enabling the sealing assembly 13 to adapt to varying medium pressures and improving the sealing performance of the mechanical seal mechanism.
[0049] Optional, see reference Figures 4 to 6The sealing assembly 13 also includes a sealing ring 1307 installed in the mounting groove 1318. The sealing ring 1307 has a first ring portion 1314 and a second ring portion 1313 connected together. Both the first ring portion 1314 and the second ring portion 1313 are L-shaped and encircle the shaft 11. The first ring portion 1314 extends circumferentially along the shaft 11 and abuts against the second mounting sleeve 1302, abutting against the outer circumferential side surface of the second mounting sleeve 1302. The second ring portion 1313 is held between the moving ring 1305 and the elastic member 1304. Traditional sealing components 13 use O-rings to achieve the sealing ring. In this application, the sealing ring 1307 is a non-circular sealing ring. The non-circular sealing ring replaces the O-ring at the elastic element 1304 that affects the axial movement of the rotating ring 1305 along the shaft 11. This makes the axial movement of the rotating ring 1305 along the shaft 11 smoother and eliminates the influence of the elastic force of the O-ring caused by compression on the elastic force of the elastic element 1304. It also eliminates the obstruction of the axial movement of the rotating ring 1305 by the O-ring and avoids the O-ring affecting the axial movement of the rotating ring 1305.
[0050] Furthermore, the sealing assembly 13 also includes an elastic ring 1308 installed within the mounting groove 1318. The first ring portion 1314, the elastic ring 1308, and the elastic element 1304 are arranged sequentially along the radial direction of the shaft 11 and away from the shaft 11. The elastic ring 1308 encircles the first ring portion 1314 of the sealing ring 1307 and applies elastic force to cause the first ring portion 1314 to abut against the outer circumferential side surface of the second mounting sleeve 1302 in a direction close to the shaft 11. The elastic ring 1308 is a circular wire spring coil, which can apply elastic force to the first ring portion 1314, causing the first ring portion 1314 to fit tightly against the outer circumferential side surface of the second mounting sleeve 1302 to achieve a better seal and prevent the medium from flowing out.
[0051] Optionally, a limiting platform 1315 is formed on the second mounting sleeve 1302 within the mounting groove 1318. The limiting platform 1315 extends in a direction away from the shaft 11 and divides the mounting groove 1318 into a first space 1309 and a second space 1310. The first space 1309 and the second space 1310 are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the shaft 11 and are connected. A stationary ring 1303, an elastic element 1304, a moving ring 1305, an adjusting element 1306, a sealing ring 1307, and an elastic ring 1308 are installed in both the first space 1309 and the second space 1310. The stationary ring 1303, elastic element 1304, moving ring 1305, adjusting element 1306, sealing ring 1307, and elastic ring 1308 in the first space 1309 and the stationary ring 1303, elastic element 1304, moving ring 1305, adjusting element 1306, sealing ring 1307, and elastic ring 1308 in the second space 1310 are symmetrically distributed around the limiting platform 1315. The elastic element 1304 is clamped between the limiting platform 1315 and the second ring portion 1313 of the sealing ring 1307. The second channel 1311 is located on the limiting platform 1315, and both the first space 1309 and the second space 1310 are connected to the second channel 1311. In this embodiment, a second channel 1311 is provided in the middle of the limiting platform 1315, and the structure of the entire sealing assembly 13 is a completely mirror-symmetrical structure with the limiting platform 1315 as the center. The moving ring 1305 is bonded to the sealing ring 1307, one end of the elastic member 1304 is fixed to the limiting platform 1315, and the other end of the elastic member 1304 abuts against the sealing ring 1307. The elastic member 1304 is always in a compressed state, pressing against the sealing ring 1307 and the moving ring 1305, so that there is a certain pressure between the moving ring 1305 and the stationary ring 1303.
[0052] In one embodiment, the limiting platform 1315 is provided with a first slot and a second slot, which are arranged radially at intervals along the shaft 11. One end of the elastic element 1304 is engaged in the first slot, and the first ring portion 1314 of the sealing ring 1307 is engaged in the second slot. The first slot and the second slot are circular holes. One end of the elastic element 1304 is fixed in the circular hole of the limiting platform 1315, and a portion of the sealing ring 1307 is engaged in the second slot of the limiting platform 1315, thereby realizing the installation of the elastic element 1304 and the sealing ring 1307.
[0053] Optionally, the first mounting sleeve 1301 has a fine-tooth internal thread on its upper ring, and the adjusting member 1306 has a fine-tooth external thread on its upper ring. The adjusting member 1306 is threadedly connected to the first mounting sleeve 1301 through the cooperation of the fine-tooth external thread and the fine-tooth internal thread.
[0054] The outer ring of the adjusting component 1306 has fine external threads, and both ends of the first mounting sleeve 1301 are provided with fine internal threads. The adjusting component 1306 is installed at both ends of the first mounting sleeve 1301. The sealing performance at the connection between the adjusting component 1306 and the first mounting sleeve 1301 can be improved by the cooperation of the fine external threads and the fine internal threads.
[0055] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 Furthermore, the rotating ring 1305 has a sealing surface 1316 that abuts against the stationary ring 1303, and a Rayleigh step 1317 is provided on the sealing surface 1316. The Rayleigh step 1317 is also known as an inverted Rayleigh step. The Rayleigh step 1317 utilizes the step structure to guide the lubricating medium to form a high-pressure oil film, significantly reducing friction and wear and improving sealing performance. At the same time, by adjusting parameters such as the step height and length, the pressure distribution can be precisely controlled, enhancing system stability and lifespan, especially suitable for high-speed and high-load conditions. Therefore, designing the Rayleigh step 1317 on the rotating ring 1305 allows the rotating ring 1305 to form a non-contact seal at a certain rotational speed, reducing wear caused by direct contact between the rotating ring 1305 and the stationary ring 1303, and also reducing heat generation problems caused by wear.
[0056] In this application, the number of elastic elements 1304 can be matched according to the rigidity of the elastic elements 1304 and the opening force of the Raleigh step 1317 in actual use. By appropriately increasing or decreasing the number of elastic elements 1304, the thickness of the liquid film is ensured to be at the minimum leakage point while maintaining the opening force. Based on this, the compression of the elastic elements 1304 is adjusted by rotating the adjusting element 1306, thereby enabling the mechanical seal mechanism to better adapt to varying media pressures.
[0057] During operation, the mechanical seal mechanism of this application allows the medium to flow within it. The medium enters from the fourth channel 1201 into the third channel 1312, and then into the first space 1309 and the second space 1310 inside the entire sealing assembly 13. There are three leakage points within the first space 1309 and the second space 1310. The first is between the first mounting sleeve 1301 and the adjusting member 1306, where a fine-pitch thread and sealant are used for sealing. The second is the contact surface between the rotating ring 1305 and the stationary ring 1303, where a Rayleigh step 1317 is used to achieve a non-contact seal. The Rayleigh step 1317 generates a dynamic pressure effect during the rotation of the rotating ring 1305, which serves both as a seal and reduces wear. The third is the contact portion between the sealing ring 1307 and the limiting platform 1315 of the second mounting sleeve 1302, where an elastic ring 1308 is used to press the sealing ring 1307 together, thus achieving a sealing effect. The medium inside the entire sealing assembly 13 enters from the second channel 1311 on the second mounting sleeve 1302 into the annular groove on the outer circumferential side of the shaft 11, then enters the first channel 1101 of the shaft 11, and then enters the rotating device connected to the shaft 11.
[0058] In one embodiment, reference Figures 1 to 5 The mechanical seal mechanism also includes a first sealing ring 14 and a second sealing ring 15. The first sealing ring 14 is clamped between the outer shell 12 and the first mounting sleeve 1301 of the sealing assembly 13, and the second sealing ring 15 is clamped between the shaft 11 and the second mounting sleeve 1302 of the sealing assembly 13. The first sealing ring 14 and the second sealing ring 15 are O-rings. In existing mechanical seal mechanisms, the presence of the sealing rings causes significant obstruction to the pressure compensation of the stationary ring 1303 and the moving ring 1305 by the elastic element 1304, resulting in uneven axial movement of the stationary ring 1303. This application adjusts the compression of the elastic element 1304 to ensure that there is no relative displacement after using the O-rings, reducing the wear of the O-rings. The first sealing ring 14 seals the medium at the contact portion between the outer shell 12 and the sealing assembly 13, and the second sealing ring 15 seals the medium at the contact portion between the shaft 11 and the sealing assembly 13.
[0059] Optional, see reference Figures 1 to 3 The mechanical seal mechanism also includes a first bearing 16, a second bearing 17, a first baffle 18, a cover plate 19, a second baffle 20, and a rear cover 21. The first baffle 18, the outer shell 12, the cover plate 19, and the rear cover 21 are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the shaft 11.
[0060] The outer circumferential side of the shaft 11 is provided with a first shoulder and a second shoulder, which are the places where the diameter of the shaft 11 changes. The inner wall of the receiving groove of the housing 12 is provided with a limiting shoulder, and the receiving groove of the housing 12 is a circular hole, with the limiting shoulder being the place where the inner diameter of the circular hole changes. The first baffle 18 and the cover plate 19 are both installed on the housing 12 by threaded fasteners. The housing 12 is rotatably connected to the shaft 11 by a first bearing 16, and the shaft 11 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 19 by a second bearing 17. At least a portion of the first bearing 16 is located between the limiting shoulder and the first shoulder, and at least a portion of the first bearing 16 is located between the limiting shoulder and the first baffle 18, thus realizing the installation of the first bearing 16.
