Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of screw pump technology, specifically a screw pump with an adjustable shaft seal structure. Background Technology
[0002] In general conveying machinery, mechanical seals or shaft seals are typically used to seal the medium. In conventional screw pump sealing designs, a mechanical seal or a shaft seal is usually used to seal the conveyed medium. In this conventional sealing design, the stationary ring of the mechanical seal or the shaft seal is installed in the sealing gland, and then the sealing gland is fixed to the bearing housing with fasteners. In this way, when the medium conveyed from inside the screw pump enters the sealing cavity, it will be sealed by the mechanical seal or shaft seal and will not leak into the external environment. However, since the seal is a consumable part, it will inevitably wear down after a period of operation, which will lead to a decrease in the sealing effect and even leakage, causing problems for the normal use of the screw pump.
[0003] However, the above-mentioned utility model still has shortcomings:
[0004] 1. During the seal replacement process, the seal gland needs to be removed from the shaft head before the seal can be replaced. However, on the screw pump unit, the screw pump shaft head is equipped with a coupling, which is connected to the prime mover. Therefore, when replacing the seal, the prime mover needs to be removed from the unit, and the coupling also needs to be removed from the shaft head to complete the seal replacement. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is not conducive to rapid response in the field.
[0005] 2. At the same time, in the selection of sealing materials, for some more complex working conditions, since the properties of the conveyed medium cannot be fully and accurately understood, under the existing single-seal structure, only one sealing material can be selected, which is very restrictive. Moreover, the selected sealing material may not be suitable for the characteristics of the medium, which will also lead to a decrease in sealing capacity and failure to meet the sealing requirements of the working conditions. Utility Model Content
[0006] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a screw pump with an adjustable shaft seal structure, which solves the problems of cumbersome seal replacement process and the limitation of only being able to select one type of sealing material.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a screw pump with an adjustable shaft seal structure, comprising: a drive screw, a shaft elastic retaining ring disposed on the outer side of the top of the drive screw, the shaft elastic retaining ring being tightly fitted to the end of an adjusting bushing, a sealing cover fixedly connected to the outer side of the drive screw, a bearing seat disposed at the end of the sealing cover near the front cover, a screw threadedly connected to the end of the sealing cover away from the front cover, the bearing seat and the sealing cover being threadedly connected by the screw, and a bearing disposed at the bottom of the drive screw near the front cover, wherein:
[0008] The bottom outer surface of the active screw has an O-ring groove, and the top outer surface of the active screw has a groove for a retaining ring. An adjusting sleeve is provided on the outside of the active screw. A set screw is threaded to the end of the adjusting sleeve away from the front end cover. The surface of the adjusting sleeve is engraved with a large step outer circle, a medium step outer circle, and a small step outer circle. A large shaft seal is slidably connected to the surface of the large step outer circle, a medium shaft seal is slidably connected to the surface of the medium step outer circle, and a small shaft seal is slidably connected to the surface of the small step outer circle. A large hole retaining ring is provided on the side of the large shaft seal near the front end cover, a medium hole retaining ring is provided on the side of the medium shaft seal near the front end cover, and a small hole retaining ring is provided on the side of the small shaft seal near the front end cover. The large shaft seal, medium shaft seal, and small shaft seal are all fixedly connected to the sealing cover on the side near the active screw.
[0009] Preferably, the surface of the adjusting bushing is engraved with a large step outer circle and a medium step outer circle. A large shaft seal is slidably connected to the surface of the large step outer circle, and a medium shaft seal is slidably connected to the surface of the medium step outer circle. Both the large and medium shaft seals are fixedly connected to the side of the sealing cover near the driving screw. A large-hole elastic retaining ring is provided on the side of the large shaft seal near the front cover, and a medium-hole elastic retaining ring is provided on the side of the medium shaft seal near the front cover. A small shaft seal is fixedly connected to the side of the sealing cover near the driving screw, and a small-hole elastic retaining ring is provided on the side of the small shaft seal near the front cover.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the adjusting bushing is provided with a second thread, and the outer side of the driving screw is provided with a first thread, and the first thread and the second thread mesh with each other.
[0011] Preferably, the top of the sealing gland is provided with an O-ring groove, and a large O-ring is provided inside the O-ring groove. The inside of the sealing gland is provided with a hole elastic retaining ring groove, and a large hole elastic retaining ring, a medium hole elastic retaining ring, and a small hole elastic retaining ring are respectively provided inside the hole elastic retaining ring groove.
[0012] Preferably, a small O-ring is provided at the end of the active screw near the front end cover.
[0013] Preferably, one end of the driving screw is fixedly connected to a front end cover, one end of the front end cover is fixedly connected to a pump body, a safety valve is provided on the top of the pump body, a driven screw is inserted into the end of the pump body away from the front end cover, a rear end cover is fixedly connected to the end of the pump body away from the front end cover, and a bushing is fixedly connected inside the pump body.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. Several different inner holes are provided on the sealing gland to install shaft seals of different specifications (materials). Several different stepped outer circles are designed on the adjusting bushing to cooperate with the shaft seals for sealing the conveyed medium. At the same time, the inner hole of the adjusting bushing is provided with threads to cooperate with the threads on the outer circle of the drive screw. When the screw pump starts working, the smallest specification shaft seal is used to seal the medium. When the smallest specification shaft seal fails, the position of the adjusting bushing is moved through the thread drive to use a medium specification shaft seal to seal the medium. Similarly, when the medium specification shaft seal fails, the largest specification shaft seal is used to seal the medium. In this way, the sealing time of the medium can be extended several times to meet user requirements. Moreover, all operations can be completed without disassembling the motor and coupling, simplifying operation and maintenance and saving costs for users and manufacturers.
[0016] 2. Multiple shaft seals were used in alternation and rotation, which increased the overall effective sealing time by several times.
[0017] 3. The simultaneous installation of multiple shaft seals allows for the selection of shaft seal materials, meaning that shaft seals of different materials can be installed at once. In some complex working conditions, the adaptability to the medium and the sealing effect of shaft seals made of different materials will be more advantageous and obvious.
[0018] 4. Because there is a threaded fit between the adjusting bushing and the drive screw, the position adjustment of the adjusting bushing can be carried out without disassembling the motor, coupling and other assembly components, which simplifies maintenance operations and saves maintenance costs.
