[0002] The stern shaft, also known as the tail shaft, is the last section of the shaft system. The forward flange is connected to the intermediate shaft flange with tight-fitting bolts, and the stern end is conical in shape, used to mount the propeller. The stern shaft is a key link in the ship's power system for transmitting power and is an important medium connecting the engine and the propeller. It is through the stern shaft that the propeller rotates, enabling the ship to sail smoothly. The stern shaft seal directly affects the normal operation and economy of the ship and its machinery. A search revealed that utility model patent CN221541942U discloses a stern axial sealing and waterproofing device for ships, comprising a rotating shaft and a sealing connecting plate. A sealing sleeve is provided on the side of the rotating shaft surface, and a connecting flange is fixedly connected to the right end of the sealing connecting plate surface. A sealing mounting plate is provided on the inner side of the sealing connecting plate. This stern axial sealing and waterproofing device for ships utilizes a sealing bearing, a sealing mounting plate, and a bearing sleeve. The sealing mounting plate connects the bearing sleeve and the sealing connecting plate, while the sealing bearing isolates and protects the sealing mounting plate, and the sealing ring provides sealing protection, achieving waterproofing. Simultaneously, the side of the bearing sleeve and the sealing sleeve fit together, staggering the installation gap of the sealing ring and ensuring waterproofing during rotation. Furthermore, the sealing mounting plate, bearing sleeve, and sealing connecting plate are connected by bolts, facilitating disassembly and maintenance and improving convenience.

[0003] However, existing stern axial sealing waterproofing devices for ships rely on sealing bearings and sealing rings for waterproofing, which has limited effectiveness. Furthermore, bolted installations are prone to corrosion, are inconvenient to install and disassemble, and lack stability. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

Air can be injected into the annular cavity 6 through the one-way valve nozzle 8.

[0021] Please see Figure 3-4 A locking mechanism 9 is fixedly connected to the shaft seal 3. The locking mechanism 9 enhances the stability of the shaft seal 3 after installation. The locking mechanism 9 includes a hollow shell 91 fixedly connected to the shaft seal 3. A guide rod 92 is fixedly connected inside the hollow shell 91. A locking pin 93 is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the guide rod 92. The locking pin 93 penetrates the hollow shell 91 and is slidably connected to it. The locking pin 93 is inserted into the locking edge 4. A bevel block 95 is fixedly connected to the pin of the locking pin 93. A pusher 96 is slidably connected to the side of the hollow shell 91, penetrating the hollow shell 91. One end of the pusher 96 located inside the hollow shell 91 abuts against the bevel block 95. A spring 94 is installed inside the locking pin 93.
