Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sealing stationary ring technology, and in particular to a pump mechanical seal stationary ring structure with a self-lubricating groove. Background Technology
[0002] As industrial equipment develops towards higher pressure, higher speed, and higher reliability, mechanical seals, as core components of pumps, directly affect the operating efficiency and service life of the equipment. In fields such as petrochemicals and energy power, mechanical seals need to operate stably for extended periods under extreme conditions, placing higher demands on the lubrication of the sealing face. Currently, in the industry, mechanical seals primarily achieve sealing through the tight fit between the end faces of the rotating and stationary rings.
[0003] In existing technologies, the conventional stationary ring end face is usually a planar structure. It is difficult for the lubricating medium to evenly cover the entire contact surface during high-speed rotation. Local areas are prone to overheating, wear, or even thermal cracking due to insufficient lubrication, which shortens the seal life.
[0004] To address this issue, a pump mechanical seal stationary ring structure with a self-lubricating groove is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pump mechanical seal stationary ring structure with a self-lubricating groove to solve the problems existing in the prior art, thereby improving the uniformity of lubrication of the stationary ring and extending its service life.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution: This utility model provides a pump mechanical seal stationary ring structure with a self-lubricating groove, comprising:
[0007] The stationary ring body has a first annular groove for mounting a moving ring body. The first annular groove contains several radial grooves arranged circumferentially. A pressure cap abuts against the stationary ring body. The pressure cap has several oil chambers and screw holes, which are connected. The stationary ring body contains several first and second channels, which are connected. One end of the first channel away from the second channel is connected to the oil chamber. The second channel is connected to the radial grooves. A third channel is located on the side of the radial grooves away from the second channel. An oil return port is located in one of the oil chambers. A fifth channel is located in the pressure cap, connected to the fifth channel. The third channel is also connected to the fifth channel.
[0008] Preferably, a second annular groove is formed inside the first annular groove, the second annular groove is connected to the radiation groove, and the second channel is connected to the second annular groove.
[0009] Preferably, a third annular groove is formed inside the first annular groove, the third annular groove is connected to the radiation groove, the third channel is connected to the third annular groove, and the third annular groove is located outside the second annular groove.
[0010] Preferably, a filter screen is fixedly connected inside the oil chamber, a plurality of first oil outlets are provided on the oil chamber, and a fourth channel is provided on the pressure cap. The first oil outlets are connected to the fourth channel, and the fourth channel is connected to the first channel.
[0011] Preferably, the pressure cap has a plurality of fourth annular grooves, the plurality of fourth annular grooves are located on the same end face of the pressure cap, the fourth annular grooves are connected to the fourth channel, and the fourth annular grooves are used to connect the fourth channel and the first channel.
[0012] Preferably, the static ring body has a plurality of storage cavities, the storage cavities are located near the third channel, the storage cavities and the third channel are connected by a connecting channel, and an inclined stop block is fixedly connected in the third channel, the inclined stop block being located near the connecting channel.

[0014] This invention discloses the following technical effects: In this device, the stationary ring body and the rotating ring body cooperate. The first annular groove is used to accommodate the rotating ring body, and the first annular groove occupies a large area of the end face of the stationary ring body.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a pump mechanical seal stationary ring structure with a self-lubricating groove, comprising:
[0024] A stationary ring body 1 has a first annular groove 2 for mounting a moving ring body 3. Several radial grooves 4 are arranged circumferentially within the first annular groove 2. A pressure cap 5 abuts against the stationary ring body 1. Several oil chambers 6 and screw holes 7 are provided on the pressure cap 5, which are connected. Several first channels 8 and second channels 9 are provided within the stationary ring body 1, connected to each other. The end of the first channel 8 furthest from the second channel 9 is connected to the oil chamber 6, and the second channel 9 is connected to the radial grooves 4. A third channel 10 is provided within the stationary ring body 1, located on the side of the radial grooves 4 furthest from the second channel 9. An oil return port is provided within the oil chamber 6. A fifth channel 11 is provided within the pressure cap 5, connected to the oil return port and the fifth channel 11. The third channel 10 is also connected to the fifth channel 11.
[0025] In this device, the stationary ring body 1 and the rotating ring body 3 cooperate. The first annular groove 2 is used to accommodate the rotating ring body 3. The first annular groove 2 occupies a large area of the end face of the stationary ring body 1. The radial groove 4 is used for the flow of lubricating oil. In this way, there will be an oil film between the rotating ring body 3 and the stationary ring body 1, and the oil film will not be reduced due to pressure change. The radial groove 4 is a self-lubricating groove. The oil chamber 6 is used to store lubricating oil. The screw hole 7 is used to pour in lubricating oil and then tighten it with a screw. The first channel 8 converges into the second channel 9. The main function of multiple first channels 8 is to prevent the lubricating oil from not flowing out due to the change of direction of the pressure cap 5. The lubricating oil enters the radial groove 4 through the second channel 9. Under the high-speed rotation of the rotating ring body 3, the lubricating oil in the radial groove 4 will flow to the third channel 10 due to centrifugal force, and then flow back to the oil chamber 6 through the fifth channel 11, thereby generating a micro-circulation of lubricating oil.
[0026] In a further optimized design, a second annular groove 12 is formed inside the first annular groove 2. The second annular groove 12 is connected to the radiation groove 4, and the second channel 9 is connected to the second annular groove 12.
[0027] The edge of the moving ring body 3 enters the second annular groove 12, making the moving ring body 3 fit more tightly with the first annular groove 2, and at the same time facilitating the flow of lubricating oil from the second channel 9 into the radiation groove 4.
[0028] In a further optimized design, a third annular groove 13 is provided inside the first annular groove 2. The third annular groove 13 is connected to the radiation groove 4, and the third channel 10 is connected to the third annular groove 13. The third annular groove 13 is located outside the second annular groove 12.
[0029] The edge of the moving ring body 3 enters the third annular groove 13, making the moving ring body 3 fit more tightly with the first annular groove 2. When the lubricating oil flows outward due to centrifugal force, the third annular groove 13 can collect the lubricating oil and also accommodate the powdery debris generated by the friction between the moving ring body 3 and the stationary ring body 1.
[0030] The scheme is further optimized. A filter screen 14 is fixedly connected inside the oil chamber 6. Several first oil outlets are opened on the oil chamber 6. A fourth channel 15 is opened on the pressure cap 5. The first oil outlets are connected to the fourth channel 15. The fourth channel 15 is connected to the first channel 8.
[0031] The filter screen 14 is used to filter impurities in the lubricating oil. The lubricating oil enters the fourth channel 15 through the first oil outlet, and then enters the first channel 8 from the fourth channel 15.
[0032] In a further optimized design, the pressure cap 5 is provided with several fourth annular grooves 16, which are located on the same end face of the pressure cap 5. The fourth annular grooves 16 are connected to the fourth channel 15 and are used to connect the fourth channel 15 and the first channel 8.
[0033] The function of the fourth annular groove 16 is to facilitate docking with the first channel 8, making it easier to connect the first channel 8 and the fourth channel 15 when installing the pressure cap 5.
[0034] The scheme is further optimized by providing several storage cavities 17 inside the static ring body 1. The storage cavities 17 are located near the third channel 10. A connecting channel 18 connects the storage cavities 17 and the third channel 10. An inclined stop 19 is fixedly connected inside the third channel 10 and is located near the connecting channel 18.
[0035] The storage chamber 17 is used to store the powdery debris generated by the friction between the rotating ring body 3 and the stationary ring body 1 to prevent blockage of the pipeline. The inclined baffle 19 facilitates the entry of debris into the storage chamber 17. When the lubricating oil flows into the third channel 10, some larger debris, due to its weight, is blocked by the inclined baffle 19 and is not easily washed away by the oil, thus slowly flowing into the storage chamber 17.
[0036] The scheme is further optimized by providing a fifth annular groove 20 on the pressure cap 5. The fifth annular groove 20 is connected to the fifth channel 11 and is used to connect the fifth channel 11 and the third channel 10.
[0037] The function of the fifth annular groove 20 is to facilitate the connection between the third channel 10 and the fifth channel 11 when the pressure cap 5 is installed.
[0038] The working principle of this device is as follows: During installation, lubricating oil is poured into the oil chamber 6 and then screwed into the screw hole 7. Due to capillary action, the lubricating oil will slowly flow into the first channel 8 and the second channel 9, and then into the second annular groove 12 and the radial groove 4. When the moving ring body 3 rotates at high speed, the lubricating oil in the radial groove 4 will flow to the third annular groove 13 and the third channel 10 due to centrifugal force. The third annular groove 13 can collect the lubricating oil and also accommodate the powdery debris generated by the friction between the moving ring body 3 and the stationary ring body 1. The oil then flows back into the oil chamber 6 through the fifth channel 11, thereby generating a micro-circulation of lubricating oil.
[0039] In another embodiment, a sealing ring 21 is also installed between the gland 5 and the stationary ring body 1.
