Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a marine accessory, especially a sealing device of a ship stern shaft. BACKGROUND

[0002] The ship stern shaft sealing device is a device for sealing between the ship stern shaft outside the ship body and the ship body to prevent water from entering the ship body, and a commonly used and effective stern shaft sealing device is a sealing device with four sealing rings. The four sealing rings are arranged at intervals between the stern shaft sealing seat fixed on the ship body and the stern shaft sealing sleeve sealingly mounted on the stern shaft. The two adjacent sealing rings form a sealing chamber. The two sealing rings adjacent to the propeller are water sealing rings to prevent seawater from entering. The other two sealing rings adjacent to the stern shaft pipe are oil sealing rings to prevent the lubricating oil in the stern shaft pipe from leaking. When water or oil leaks during the operation of the stern shaft, the leaked water or oil enters the middle annular cavity between the two middle sealing rings and flows into the discharge collection tank in the ship body through the discharge hole at the bottom of the stern shaft sealing seat for centralized treatment, thereby avoiding pollution caused by the leaked liquid. A small amount of leakage does not affect the sealing and operation of the stern shaft. However, once the stern shaft sealing fails and a large amount of water or oil leaks, the ship has to be stopped for repair, and the repair process is complex, difficult and time-consuming, which seriously affects the sailing plan of the ship.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In Figure 1The shown emergency sealable ship stern shaft sealing device, the stern shaft sealing sleeve 1 is sealingly fixed on the stern shaft and rotates with the stern shaft, a stern shaft sealing seat 3 is sleeved on the stern shaft sealing sleeve 1, four stern shaft sealing rings 10 are installed between the stern shaft sealing sleeve 1 and the inner hole of the stern shaft sealing seat 3, in order to facilitate the installation of the stern shaft sealing ring 10, the stern shaft sealing seat 3 is composed of a plurality of seat body segments 31 connected by a sealing gasket or a sealing ring in the axial direction, each sealing segment 31 is integrally connected by a connecting bolt, and each stern shaft sealing ring 10 is installed in the corresponding seat body segment 31. Figure 2The sealing dynamic ring 8 is in the form of a disc and is sleeved on the stern shaft sealing sleeve 1 and is fixed by a set screw or a pin. An O-shaped sealing ring 11 is arranged between the stern shaft sealing sleeve 1 and the sealing dynamic ring 8, so that the sealing dynamic ring 8 is fixedly sealed on the stern shaft sealing sleeve 1. A sealing static ring 6 is further arranged in the middle annular cavity. One end face of the sealing static ring 6 is in abutment with a corresponding end face of the sealing dynamic ring 8 to form an end face sealing pair. The sealing dynamic ring 8 and the sealing static ring 6 of the end face sealing pair can be made of a material with high wear resistance (such as silicon carbide or hard alloy), or only a wear-resistant piece made of a material with high wear resistance is embedded and fixed on the abutted corresponding end faces to meet the use requirements of the end face sealing pair. The other end of the sealing static ring 6 is provided with a protruding piston portion 61. The end of the sealing static ring 6 provided with the piston portion 61 is axially movably supported in a piston cavity of a driving cylinder sleeve 5. The driving cylinder sleeve 5 is installed on the stern shaft sealing seat 3. The driving cylinder sleeve 5 includes a ring-shaped cylinder body 51 and a ring-shaped end cover 52. In order to facilitate the installation of the driving cylinder sleeve 5, the outer diameter of the ring-shaped cylinder body 51 is the same as the outer diameter of the seat body section 31. The driving cylinder sleeve 5 formed by the ring-shaped cylinder body 51 and the ring-shaped end cover 52 is installed between two adjacent seat body sections 31 as a part of the stern shaft sealing seat 3 through a sealing gasket or a sealing ring. A ring-shaped groove is arranged on one end face of the ring-shaped cylinder body 51. The diameters of the inner and outer circular surfaces of the ring-shaped groove correspond to the inner and outer diameters of the piston portion 61. The ring-shaped end cover 52 is fixed on the ring-shaped groove of the ring-shaped cylinder body 51 by a screw. The inner hole diameter of the ring-shaped end cover 52 corresponds to the diameter of the outer peripheral surface of the sealing static ring 6 adjacent to the piston portion 61. The piston cavity is formed between the inner side surface of the ring-shaped end cover 52 and the ring-shaped groove. One end of the sealing static ring 6 provided with the piston portion 61 is inserted into the piston cavity formed by the ring-shaped groove and the ring-shaped end cover 52. Sealing rings 11 are arranged between the inner hole surface of the sealing static ring 6, the outer peripheral surface of the piston portion 61, the stepped outer circular surface adjacent to the outer peripheral surface of the piston portion 61, and the corresponding surfaces of the ring-shaped cylinder body 51 or the ring-shaped end cover 52. The sealing rings 11 are O-shaped sealing rings. Driving oil holes 7 are arranged at both ends of the piston cavity of the driving cylinder sleeve 5. The two driving oil holes 7 are in communication with a hydraulic station in the cabin through the side wall of the stern shaft sealing seat 3 in the axial direction. The piston portion 61 is located between the outlets of the two driving oil holes 7.

[0020] Referring to Figure 3Two rows of liquid holes 2 are arranged at the bottom of the middle ring cavity of the stern shaft sealing seat 3, and are respectively arranged at the left and right sides of the abutting end face of the sealing stationary ring 6 and the sealing movable ring 8 and along the radial direction of the corresponding seat body section 31, and the two rows of liquid holes 2 are respectively connected to the corresponding oil discharge container or water discharge container in the cabin through corresponding communication holes 9 arranged in the side wall of the stern shaft sealing seat 3. The liquid leakage blocking ring 4 is also sealingly connected to the stern shaft sealing sleeve 1, and the position of the liquid leakage blocking ring 4 corresponds to the liquid leakage hole 9 on the side where the driving cylinder sleeve 5 is arranged. In the normal working state in which the sealing stationary ring 6 and the sealing movable ring 8 do not abut to form an end face mechanical seal, the water leaked from the two sealing rings (water sealing rings) adjacent to the propeller will be blocked by the liquid leakage blocking ring 4 and fall down, and then be discharged through the lower liquid discharge hole 9, and the oil leaked from the two sealing rings (oil sealing rings) adjacent to the stern shaft tube will be blocked by the sealing movable ring 8 and fall down, and then be discharged through the lower liquid discharge hole 9, so that the leaked water and oil will not be mixed in the middle ring cavity and need to be treated as sewage.

[0021] When the stern shaft sealing ring 10 suddenly fails and the sealing function fails, the amount of water or oil discharged through the liquid discharge hole 9 will abnormally increase. Through detection and judgment of the amount of discharged liquid, after confirming that the sealing function of the stern shaft sealing ring 10 fails, the control system can automatically inject hydraulic oil into the corresponding piston cavity through the driving oil hole 7 from the hydraulic station, so that the sealing stationary ring 6 is pressed towards the sealing movable ring 8, the opposite end faces of the sealing movable ring 8 and the sealing stationary ring 6 are tightly abutted, and thus a mechanical seal is formed, so as to prevent the water or oil leaked from the failed water sealing ring or oil sealing ring from entering the opposite area, thereby maintaining the function of the stern shaft sealing. At this time, the leakage of water or oil caused by the sealing failure is blocked by the end face mechanical seal pair composed of the sealing movable ring 8 and the sealing stationary ring 6, so that the leakage does not need to be discharged, and the passage between the liquid discharge hole 9 on the side where the sealing failure occurs and the corresponding oil discharge container or water discharge container can be closed. In this way, the ship does not need to stop for emergency repair, and can continue to sail until it arrives at the port for treatment.

[0022] The above only lists some preferred embodiments of the present application, but the present application is not limited thereto, and many improvements and changes can be made. Any improvement and change made on the basis of the basic principles of the present application shall be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present application.
