Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of screw pump sealing technology, and specifically to a screw pump sealing assembly. Background Technology

[0002] A screw pump is a type of pump that uses the rotation of helical blades to propel water upwards in a spiral motion along the axis. It consists of a shaft, helical blades, and a casing. During pumping, the pump is placed at an angle in the water, with the angle of the pump shaft smaller than the angle of the helical blades, and the lower end of the helical blades in contact with the water. When the prime mover drives the screw pump shaft to rotate via a speed-changing device, water enters the blades and rises along the spiral flow path until it exits. It has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, has a large flow rate, low head loss, high efficiency, and is easy to maintain and repair.

[0003] Currently, the sealing components of existing screw pumps have many parts, making installation cumbersome and inconvenient for later disassembly and maintenance. The sealing performance between the shaft sleeve and the pump shaft is relatively poor, which can easily lead to axial leakage of the medium. Furthermore, the installation between the rotating ring and the shaft sleeve is complicated, making it difficult to accurately ensure the concentricity of the rotating ring and the shaft sleeve. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a screw pump sealing assembly to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a screw pump sealing assembly, comprising:

[0007] A moving ring is nested in an annular groove, and a positioning pin is nested in the moving ring. A second sealing ring is provided between the outer circumferential wall of the moving ring and the inner wall of the annular groove.

[0008] A stationary ring seat is fitted onto the right side of the bushing. A pressure cap is fitted onto the right end of the stationary ring seat, and a stationary ring is nested at the left end of the stationary ring seat. The stationary ring abuts against the moving ring. Multiple compensating springs are provided between the left side of the pressure cap and the stationary ring seat.

[0009] Preferably, the annular protrusion and the bushing are integrally machined to reduce the number of assembly parts and lower the risk of seal failure due to welding or bolt connection.

[0010] Preferably, the end of the rotating ring away from the stationary ring has a positioning hole at the position corresponding to the positioning post, and the positioning post is nested in the corresponding positioning hole to ensure the concentricity of the rotating ring and the bushing and prevent seal failure caused by uneven wear.

[0011] Preferably, the end of the rotating ring near the stationary ring extends to the outside of the annular groove, and the end of the stationary ring near the rotating ring extends to the outside of the stationary ring seat. The stationary ring is sleeved on the bushing, and a third sealing ring is provided between the outer wall of the stationary ring and the inner wall of the stationary ring seat to increase the sealing contact area and improve the sealing performance under high pressure conditions. The third sealing ring forms a secondary sealing barrier to prevent the medium from leaking from the gap of the stationary ring seat.

[0012] Preferably, the left circumference of the pressure cap is evenly provided with multiple spring mounting holes, the compensating spring is nested in the corresponding spring mounting holes, and the end of the compensating spring extending out of the spring mounting hole abuts against the stationary ring seat, so as to realize the uniform preload distribution of the compensating spring and avoid stress concentration at a single point.

[0013] Preferably, multiple guide posts are evenly fixed on the left circumference of the pressure cap, and guide holes are opened on the stationary ring seat at the positions corresponding to the guide posts. The end of the guide post away from the pressure cap is slidably nested in the guide hole to ensure that the pressure cap and the stationary ring seat are axially aligned and to prevent the compensation spring from deflecting when compressed.

[0014] Preferably, a fourth sealing ring is provided between the gland and the stationary ring seat to block potential leakage paths between the gland and the stationary ring seat, forming a complete sealing chain.

[0015] Preferably, the locking assembly includes a locking ring and two locking rings. The locking ring is fitted onto the right end of the bushing. The outer side of the locking ring has a triangular surface. The two locking rings are respectively fitted onto the two beveled surfaces of the triangular surface of the locking ring. The two locking rings are connected by hexagonal bolts. The beveled surfaces of the double locking rings produce a self-tightening effect to adapt to the thermal expansion and contraction of the bushing. The triangular surface design increases the contact stress and prevents axial loosening.

[0016] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0017] 1. By providing a first sealing ring between the bushing and the pump shaft, the sealing performance between the bushing and the pump shaft is improved.

[0018] 2. The annular protrusion and the bushing are integrally machined, reducing the number of assembly parts and lowering the risk of seal failure due to welding or bolting connections;

[0019] 3. This sealing assembly has few parts, making it simple and convenient to install, maintain, and replace. Attached Figure Description
