Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of dry gas sealing components, specifically relating to a dry gas sealing structure for a self-cleaning screw compressor. Background Technology

[0002] During compressor operation, the process gas is under high pressure. Without proper sealing, gas leakage not only wastes energy but may also cause safety accidents. Dry gas seals effectively prevent process gas leakage to the outside, ensuring the safe operation of the compressor. They also have a positive impact on environmental protection. Traditional sealing methods may require large amounts of sealing oil, which generates waste oil during use. Improper disposal can pollute the environment. Dry gas seals can reduce the amount of sealing oil used, thereby reducing waste oil generation. However, existing dry gas seals lack a media-blocking structure at one end inside the compressor. Impurities from the compressor's internal media gradually enter the dynamic or static rings of the dry gas seal, leading to severe wear and a reduced service life. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] A dry gas seal structure for a self-cleaning screw compressor, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the system includes a dry gas sealing assembly 3, a floating ring mechanism 1, and a main shaft 5. The dry gas sealing assembly 3 is sleeved on the main shaft 5, and the floating ring mechanism 1 is sleeved on the main shaft 5 and located below the dry gas sealing assembly 3. Both the floating ring mechanism 1 and the dry gas sealing assembly 3 are located inside the compressor housing 2. The compressor housing 2 has a stepped structure at its port, with a smaller diameter at the bottom and a larger diameter at the top. The floating ring mechanism 1 is located at the lower, smaller diameter position inside the compressor housing 2, and the dry gas sealing assembly 3 is located at the transition position of the stepped structure. An external clean gas channel 21 is provided on the compressor housing 2, and an internal clean gas channel 121 is provided on the floating ring mechanism 1. The external clean gas channel 21 and the internal clean gas channel 121 are connected. External clean gas continuously flows into the floating ring mechanism 1 through the external clean gas channel 21 to prevent impurities in the compressor from entering the dry gas sealing assembly 3. The clean gas forms a gas diaphragm in the floating ring mechanism 1, preventing impurities in the medium inside the compressor from entering the dry gas sealing assembly 3 and causing wear to the dry gas sealing assembly 3.

[0025] The floating ring mechanism 1 includes a clamping sleeve 11, a limiting cover 13, a ring seat 12, and two sets of floating ring assemblies. The clamping sleeve 11 is connected to the dry gas sealing assembly 3. One end of the clamping sleeve 11 is spaced apart from the main shaft 5, and the other end abuts against the dry gas sealing assembly 3 and the main shaft 5, and is connected to the dry gas sealing assembly 3 by bolts. The ring seat 12 is located outside the clamping sleeve 11 and is also connected to the dry gas sealing assembly 3. The limiting cover 13 is located at the end of the clamping sleeve 11 and the ring seat 12. Both sets of floating ring assemblies are located between the limiting cover 13 and the ring seat 12. The inner clean air channel 121 is located on the right side of the two sets of floating ring assemblies. The inner clean air channel 121 is located on the ring seat 12 and communicates with the floating ring assemblies. A spacer 14 is provided between the floating ring assemblies. The spacer 14 separates the two sets of floating ring assemblies. The floating ring assembly on the left side of the spacer 14 is limited by the limiting cover 13, and the floating ring assembly on the right side of the spacer 14 is limited by the spacer 14. A bolt is provided on the limiting cover 13. The bolt passes through the limiting cover 13 and the spacer 14 and is connected to the ring seat 12. A wear-resistant layer 111 is provided on the surface of the clamping sleeve 11 at the position of the floating ring assembly. The wear-resistant layer 111 is made by spraying hard alloy to prevent the clamping sleeve 11 from being worn by the floating ring assembly due to the rotation of the clamping sleeve 11 by the spindle 5.

[0026] The floating ring assembly includes a split carbon ring 15, a pull ring 16, and a limiting pin 17. The split carbon ring 15 includes three fan-shaped carbon segments, each with a groove. An annular groove is formed on the outer surface of the split carbon ring 15 composed of the three carbon segments. The pull ring 16 is placed in the annular groove and limits the split carbon ring 15 to prevent the three carbon segments from completely separating. The limiting pin 17 is placed on the split carbon ring 15 and protrudes from the side of one of the carbon segments. The limiting cover 13 and the spacer ring 14 are both provided with limiting grooves 131. The limiting pin 17 is inserted into the limiting groove 131 and slides up and down in the limiting groove 131. When the clamping sleeve 11 rotates, there is a gas diaphragm gap between the bottom of the carbon segment and the clamping sleeve 11. Through the cooperation of the limiting groove 131 and the limiting pin 17, the three carbon segments do not deviate during expansion and movement, and do not rotate with the clamping sleeve 11. The inner surface of the split carbon ring 15 is provided with an air groove 151. The air groove 151 facilitates the separation of the carbon petal from the clamping sleeve 11. When clean air enters the bottom of the carbon petal from the gap between the carbon petals and the gap between the carbon petal and the clamping sleeve 11, the clean air will accumulate at the air groove 151, which makes it easier for the clean air to lift the carbon petal and create a gas diaphragm between the carbon petal and the clamping sleeve 11.

[0027] Example 2:

[0028] This embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further defines the dry gas sealing assembly 3, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the dry gas sealing assembly 3 includes a rotating ring 33, a set of stationary rings 35, a set of friction pairs 34, a housing assembly, and a fixing member 4. The rotating ring 33 is sleeved on the main shaft 5. An isolation part is provided in the middle of the rotating ring 33. A friction pair 34 and a stationary ring 35 are provided on both the left and right sides of the isolation part of the rotating ring 33. The housing assembly is located outside the set of stationary rings 35 and the set of friction pairs 34, and the housing assembly covers the set of stationary rings 35, the rotating ring 33, and the set of friction pairs 34. The fixing member 4 is connected to the rotating ring 33 and is located at the end away from the limiting cover 13. The fixing member 4 is located between the outer housing 32 and the main shaft 5. The compressor is connected to the external bearing housing. The main shaft 5 extends into the compressor from the fixing part of the bearing housing. The outer end of the fixing member 4 abuts against the fixing part of the bearing housing, thereby limiting the rotating ring 33. The housing assembly includes an inner housing 31 and an outer housing 32. The ring seat 12 is bolted to the inner housing 31. A clamping sleeve 11 is inserted between the inner housing 31 and the rotating ring 33 and bolted to the rotating ring 33. An inner sealing gas passage 321 is provided on the outer housing 32, and an outer sealing gas passage 22 is provided on the compressor housing 2. Sealing gas from the external gas supply device enters through the outer sealing gas passage 22 and passes through the inner sealing gas passage 321 to the stationary ring 35 group and the rotating ring 33 position. After the rotating ring 33 rotates, a gas sealing film is formed within the dry gas seal. Other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.
