The bearing 15 has a threaded cover plate 2 and a retaining ring 19 on one side. Simultaneously, between the bearings 15 at both ends, the insulating magnetic shielding ring 5, the first heat insulation ring 6, the front magnet bracket 20, the magnet 21, the magnetic pole 7 (mounted on the magnetic pole mounting base 27), the rear magnet bracket 22, the second heat insulation ring 23, and the rear top cover 18 are sequentially installed. The heating structure body of the shaft magnetic pole 7 includes a semiconductor heating element, a heat pipe 8, a cover 10, and a temperature sensor 26.

[0037] Specifically, the self-heating magnetic fluid sealing device of this utility model includes: a housing unit 16, which is sleeved on the outside of the inner shaft 1, forming a storage space between the housing unit 16 and the inner shaft 1; an outer shaft 11, which is sleeved on the outside of the inner shaft 1 and located within the storage space; and a heating mechanism, which is sleeved on the outside of the outer shaft 11 and located within the storage space. The heating mechanism includes: a magnetic pole unit 7, which is sleeved on the outside of the outer shaft 11 and has an installation groove; a magnet unit 21, which is sleeved on the outside of the outer shaft 11 and located at the end of the magnetic pole unit 7; a heat pipe 8, which is laid in the installation groove; a heat pipe cover plate 9, which is set in the installation groove and laid on the heat pipe 8; and a cap 10, which is set in the installation groove and laid on the heat pipe cover plate 9.

[0038] The magnetic pole 7 unit includes: a magnetic pole mounting base 27, which is sleeved on the outside of the outer shaft 11; and a magnetic pole 7, which is located on top of the magnetic pole mounting base 27.

[0039] The magnet 21 unit includes: a front magnet bracket 20 and a rear magnet 21 bracket, which are sleeved on the outside of the outer shaft 11 and located at both ends of the magnetic pole mounting base 27; and a magnet 21, which is mounted on the front magnet bracket 20 and the rear magnet 21 bracket.

[0040] Heat insulation rings are provided at the ends of the front magnet bracket 20 and the rear magnet bracket 21, respectively. A spacer 25 is fitted on the outside of the inner shaft 1, and the spacer 25 is positioned between the outer shaft 11 and the inner shaft 1. The outer shaft 11 is fixed to the outside of the inner shaft 1 by a ceramic spacer. A magnetic shielding ring 5 is fitted on the outside of the inner shaft 1. Bearings 15 are provided at both ends inside the storage space. A temperature sensor 26 is provided at the bottom of the magnetic pole mounting base 27.

[0041] A water distribution unit is also sleeved on the outer side of the inner shaft 1. The water distribution unit includes: a water distribution cover 14, which has an arc-shaped structure and forms a water distribution space between the water distribution cover 14, the outer shell 16 unit, and the heating mechanism; an air inlet 28, which is provided on the outer shell 16 unit and is through-hole, connecting the outside to the water distribution space; and a discharge trough 29, which is through-hole, connecting the outside to the water distribution space.

[0042] During operation, the power unit connects to the inner shaft 1, with the two ends of the inner shaft 1 connected to the device 3 and the input bearing 4, respectively. A threaded cover plate 2 is provided at the connection end between the inner shaft 1 and the device 3. A refrigerant is introduced through the central water hole of the inner shaft 1 to cool the device 3. When the vacuum device 3 operates, the inner shaft 1 cools rapidly under the action of the refrigerant. When the temperature sensor 26 detects that the temperature of the magnetic pole 7 is too low, the copper electrode of the semiconductor heating element heats up, and the heat is transferred to the entire magnetic pole 7 through the heat pipe 8. A fiber spacer 25 is placed between the outer shaft 11 and the inner shaft 1, slowing down the heat exchange between the magnetic teeth and the shaft, increasing the maximum temperature of the magnetic teeth under operating conditions, and simultaneously reducing the volume and energy consumption of the entire heating structure. The porous design of the heat insulation ring 25 reduces heat conduction from the front and rear bearings 15. These three factors together slow down the cooling rate of the magnetic pole 7 and increase the fluidity and sealing effect of the magnetic fluid. Water vapor in device 3 condenses at the water distribution cover 14. Compressed air blown in through the air inlet 28 at the outer shell 16 (the outer shell unit is composed of threaded top cover 17, outer shell 16 and rear top cover 18) flows out of the magnetic fluid seal through the discharge groove 29, thus preventing water vapor in the air from condensing on the hot surface of the magnetic pole 7 and water droplets from falling into the magnetic pole 7 and breaking the vacuum.

[0043] The specific embodiments of this utility model have been described above. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications within the scope of the claims, which do not affect the substantive content of this utility model. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.
