The medium is delivered separately to the middle of the pump body as the screw shafts rotate, and the two are combined and finally delivered to the pump outlet, thus achieving the purpose of pumping.

[0003] Traditional twin-screw pumps only achieve oil lubrication at the gear end, while the drive end bearing housing is usually grease lubricated. Therefore, the sealing structure of the drive end bearing housing is simple, resulting in poor heat dissipation and lubrication.

[0004] Traditional lip seals avoid wear on the shaft, preventing irreparable groove-like scratches.

[0005] Therefore, a twin-screw pump with a magnetic oil seal bearing housing is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0008] The pump body is connected to a drive end bearing housing and a gear end bearing housing by several double-headed bolt assemblies. Both the drive end bearing housing and the gear end bearing housing are equipped with mechanical seals. The drive end bearing housing, the gear end bearing housing, the drive shaft, the driven shaft, and the mechanical seals complete the shaft seal with the conveyed medium.

[0009] The pump body is equipped with a magnetic oil seal for oil-lubricated or grease-lubricated shaft seal requirements. The magnetic oil seal consists of a stationary ring assembly and a rotating ring assembly.

[0010] Preferably, the drive shaft, the driven shaft, and the helical sleeve assembly form the core component of the twin-screw pump—the helical sleeve assembly.

[0011] Preferably, the outer circumference of the spiral sleeve assembly is meshed with a bushing, and the bushing and the spiral sleeve assembly form a sealed cavity that is closed to each other.

[0012] Preferably, a synchronous gear assembly with transmission support is provided between the drive shaft and the driven shaft, and the synchronous gear assembly achieves the transmission that causes the drive shaft and the driven shaft to rotate in opposite directions.

[0014] Preferably, the inner hole of the pump body fits with the outer circle of the bushing, the outer circle of the bushing is provided with a plurality of sealing ring grooves, and the high-pressure chamber and the low-pressure chamber of the pump body are provided with O-rings for isolation and support.

[0015] Preferably, the pump body is an externally mounted twin-screw pump, and the bearing consists of a gear end bearing and a drive end bearing. The gear end bearing, the drive end bearing, and the magnetic oil seal are used in combination.

[0016] Preferably, the drive end bearing is provided with an outer bearing cover and an inner bearing cover for axial positioning on one side, and the outer bearing cover, the inner bearing cover, and the drive end bearing are all fixedly installed in the drive end bearing housing.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a twin-screw pump with a magnetic oil seal bearing housing, which has the following advantages:

[0021] 1. Both the drive-end bearing housing and the gear-end bearing housing of the twin-screw pump can achieve oil lubrication. Traditional twin-screw pumps only achieve oil lubrication at the gear end, while the drive-end bearing housing usually uses grease lubrication.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] 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.

[0031] Example:

[0032] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 The twin-screw pump with magnetic oil seal bearing housing in this embodiment includes a pump body 1, and a drive shaft 8 and a driven shaft 10 disposed inside the pump body 1. The drive shaft 8 and the driven shaft 10 are both equipped with or integrally formed with left-hand and right-hand spiral sleeve assemblies 13, and the two sets of spiral sleeve assemblies 13 are in a mutually meshing state.

[0033] The pump body 1 is connected to a drive end bearing seat 3 and a gear end bearing seat 17 by several double-headed bolt assemblies 12. Both the drive end bearing seat 3 and the gear end bearing seat 17 are equipped with mechanical seals 11. The drive end bearing seat 3, the gear end bearing seat 17, the drive shaft 8, the driven shaft 10 and the mechanical seal 11 complete the shaft seal with the conveyed medium.

[0034] The pump body 1 is equipped with a magnetic oil seal 7 for oil-lubricated or grease-lubricated shaft seal requirements. The magnetic oil seal 7 is composed of a stationary ring assembly and a rotating ring assembly.

[0035] Among them, the drive end bearing housing 3 and gear end bearing housing 17 of the twin screw pump can both achieve oil lubrication. Compared with the traditional twin screw pump, which only achieves oil lubrication at the gear end and usually uses grease lubrication at the drive end bearing housing, the sealing structure of the drive end bearing housing is simple and the heat dissipation and lubrication effects are poor. Therefore, the life of the twin screw pump bearing can be greatly improved by achieving oil lubrication at the drive end bearing housing.

[0036] The bearing cavity seals in the drive end bearing housing 3 and gear end bearing housing 17 of the twin screw pump adopt magnetic seals. First, compared with the traditional lip seal method, it avoids the wear of the shaft caused by the lip seal, which would cause irreparable groove-like scratches on the shaft. The magnetic seal achieves sealing with the housing and shaft through the sealing ring, and then through its own dynamic ring and stationary ring, without causing damage to the shaft. Second, the magnetic seal can be used as a split structure, so that repairs can be completed without disassembling the bearing or mechanical seal.

[0037] The drive shaft 8, the driven shaft 10, and the spiral sleeve assembly 13 form the core component of the twin-screw pump—the spiral sleeve assembly;

[0038] The outer circumference of the spiral sleeve assembly 13 is meshed with the bushing 2, and the bushing 2 and the spiral sleeve assembly 13 form a sealed cavity that is closed to each other.

[0039] A synchronous gear assembly 14 for transmission support is provided between the drive shaft 8 and the driven shaft 10, and the synchronous gear assembly 14 achieves the transmission that causes the drive shaft 8 and the driven shaft 10 to rotate in opposite directions.

[0040] The pump body 1 is provided with an inlet and an outlet, and the inlet is connected to the low-pressure chamber of the twin screw pump, and the low-pressure chamber is connected to the outlet.

[0041] The inner hole of the pump body 1 fits with the outer circle of the bushing 2. The outer circle of the bushing 2 is provided with a number of sealing ring grooves, and the high pressure chamber and low pressure chamber of the pump body 1 are provided with O-rings for isolation and support.

[0042] The drive shaft 8 is equipped with or integrally formed with a helical sleeve assembly 13 having left-hand and right-hand rotation, and the driven shaft 10 is equipped with or integrally formed with a helical sleeve assembly 13 having left-hand and right-hand rotation. The helical sleeve assemblies mesh with each other to form the core component of the twin screw pump - the helical sleeve assembly.

[0043] When the drive shaft 8 rotates, the driven shaft 10 is driven by the synchronous gear assembly 14 to rotate in the opposite direction. The sealing cavity is gradually pressurized from the low pressure end to the high pressure end, thus completing the pumping of the conveyed material.

[0044] The pump body 1 has an inlet and an outlet. The medium at the inlet is drawn into the low-pressure chamber of the twin screw pump and is pressurized and discharged to the outlet of the pump body.

[0045] The pump body 1 is a twin-screw pump with external bearings. The bearings consist of a gear end bearing 15 and a drive end bearing 9. The gear end bearing 15, the drive end bearing 9, and the magnetic oil seal 7 are used in combination.

[0046] The drive end bearing 9 is provided with an outer bearing cover 4 and an inner bearing cover 5 for axial positioning on one side. The outer bearing cover 4, the inner bearing cover 5, and the drive end bearing 9 are all fixedly installed in the drive end bearing seat 3. The drive end bearing seat 3 is connected to a bearing housing cover 6 by screws. The outer bearing cover 4, the bearing housing cover 6, and the part through which the shaft passes are sealed together with the magnetic oil seal 7.

[0047] The gear end bearing 15 is installed on the outside of the gear end bearing seat 17. The gear end bearing seat 17 is connected to the gear box cover 16 by bolts. The bearing outer pressure cover 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the gear end bearing 15.

[0048] The pump body 1 is a twin-screw pump with external bearings, meaning that the medium being transported and the bearings do not come into contact. As a result, the gear end bearing 15 and the drive end bearing 9 need to be isolated and sealed from the air when lubricated with oil or grease. This is where the magnetic oil seal 7 comes in to meet this sealing requirement.

[0049] The drive end bearing 9 is axially positioned by the outer bearing cover 4 and the inner bearing cover 5, and is fixed in the drive end bearing seat 3. The bearing housing cover 6 is fixed to the drive end bearing seat 3 by screws. The outer bearing cover 4, the bearing housing cover 6 and the part through which the shaft passes are introduced by a magnetic oil seal 7 to achieve the shaft seal requirements of oil lubrication or grease lubrication.

[0050] The stationary ring assembly includes a stationary ring 75, a stationary ring seat 76, and a stationary ring sealing ring 77. The stationary ring 75 is embedded in the stationary ring seat 76, and the stationary ring sealing ring 77 is installed in the groove of the stationary ring seat 76.

[0051] The rotating ring assembly includes a rotating ring seal 71, a rotating ring seat 72, a rotating ring 73, and a magnetic insert 74. The magnetic insert 74 is embedded in the rotating ring seat 72, and the rotating ring seal 71 achieves shaft sealing through an interference fit with the shaft.

[0052] The stationary ring 75 is embedded in the stationary ring seat 76. The contact surface roughness between the stationary ring 75 and the rotating ring 73 is low, achieving a contact seal. The stationary ring sealing ring 77 is installed in the groove of the stationary ring seat 76, achieving a seal with the cylindrical sealing seat surface through compression deformation. The stationary ring seat 76 is made of magnetically conductive material.

[0053] The magnetic insert 74 is embedded in the moving ring seat 72. Since the magnetic insert 74 is made of magnetized material, it attracts the stationary ring assembly and seals the contact surface between the stationary ring 75 and the moving ring 73. The number and angle distribution of the magnetic insert 74 must be sufficient to compensate for the separation of the contact surface caused by disturbance during the rotation of the shaft.

[0054] The dynamic ring seal 71 achieves shaft sealing through interference sealing with the shaft.

[0055] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods. As long as they can achieve their beneficial effects, they can be implemented. Therefore, this embodiment will not elaborate on their specific structural composition and working principle.

[0056] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
