[0005] An oil sealing structure for a high-speed rotating component under negative pressure includes a high-speed labyrinth disk fixedly mounted on a high-speed shaft. A bearing cap is fitted around the outer periphery of the high-speed labyrinth disk. The bearing cap has a labyrinth structure at the contact point with the high-speed labyrinth disk. Both the bearing cap and the high-speed labyrinth disk are located outside the bearing. An airtight cover is fitted on the high-speed shaft outside the high-speed labyrinth disk, capable of enclosing the high-speed labyrinth disk. The inner surface of the airtight cover in contact with the high-speed shaft has a radially recessed annular groove, forming an airtight cavity between the annular groove and the high-speed shaft. The airtight cover has a sealing gas inlet communicating with the airtight cavity.

[0006] The maze structure includes a radial maze structure and an end-face maze structure.

[0007] The radial labyrinth structure includes an annular radial labyrinth groove that is radially recessed from the inner side of the bearing cap.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] The directions mentioned in this manual are based on the directions shown in the attached diagram and represent only relative positional relationships, not absolute positional relationships.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, a bearing 20 is installed between the high-speed shaft 10 and the bearing housing 22. The oil sealing structure of a high-speed rotating component under negative pressure environment of this utility model includes a high-speed labyrinth disk 40 fixedly mounted on the high-speed shaft 10. A bearing cover 30 is mounted on the outer periphery of the high-speed labyrinth disk 40. Both the high-speed labyrinth disk 40 and the bearing cover 30 are located outside the bearing 20. In this embodiment, it is defined that: in the axial direction, the side closer to the end of the high-speed shaft 10 is the outside, and the opposite side is the inside; in the radial direction, the side closer to the high-speed shaft 10 is the inside, and the opposite side is the outside. In this preferred embodiment, the high-speed labyrinth disk 40 includes a central portion sleeved on the high-speed shaft 10 and an outer edge portion extending radially outward from the central portion. In the radial direction, the bearing cap 30 is sleeved on the outside of the central portion of the high-speed labyrinth disk 40, and in the axial direction, the outer edge portion of the high-speed labyrinth disk 40 is fastened to the outside of the bearing cap 30. In the radial direction, the size of the outer edge portion is smaller than the size of the bearing cap 30. Therefore, the high-speed labyrinth disk 40 and the bearing cap 30 have contact portions in both the radial and axial directions. In this embodiment, the contact portion between the bearing cap 30 and the high-speed labyrinth disk 40 is provided with a labyrinth structure.

[0023] like Figure 1As shown, a gas-tight cover 70 is fitted onto the high-speed shaft 10 located outside the high-speed labyrinth disk 40, enclosing the high-speed labyrinth disk 40. The gas-tight cover 70 includes a cover portion 72 fitted onto the high-speed shaft 10, and a connecting portion 76 fitted onto the outer edge of the high-speed labyrinth disk 40 and fitting against the outer end face of the bearing cover 30. The cover portion 72 and the connecting portion 76 are connected as one unit by a connecting portion 74, and the connecting portion 76 is fixedly connected to the bearing cover 30 by bolts 80. The edge of the connecting portion 76 protrudes beyond the outer edge of the bearing cover 30 and has an annular positioning edge 760 protruding towards the bearing cover 30. The bearing cover 30 is fitted into the positioning edge 760. The inner surface of the gas seal cover 70 that contacts the high-speed shaft 10 is provided with a radially recessed annular groove. The annular groove and the high-speed shaft 10 form a gas seal cavity 720. That is, the cover part 72 is a hollow structure. When it is fitted onto the high-speed shaft 10, its hollow inner cavity forms a gas seal cavity 720. There is a 0.5mm gap between the inner wall of the gas seal cavity 720 and the high-speed shaft 10, and a 0.1 to 0.2mm gap between the outer wall of the gas seal cavity 720 and the high-speed shaft 10. The side of the cover 72 is provided with a sealing gas inlet 722 that extends radially and communicates with the gas sealing cavity 720. Positive pressure sealing gas enters the gas sealing cavity 720 through the sealing gas inlet 722 and enters the gap of the labyrinth structure through the gap between the inner wall of the gas sealing cavity 720 and the high-speed shaft 10. Thus, the gap of the labyrinth structure forms a positive pressure gas seal between the gas sealing cover 70 and the high-speed shaft 10, which can effectively prevent lubricating oil from leaking under negative pressure.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, an annular mounting groove is provided on the end face of the joint 76 that fits with the bearing cover 30. A sealing ring 50 is installed in the mounting groove. In this embodiment, the sealing ring 50 is preferably an O-ring. The sealing ring 50 can prevent lubricating oil from leaking between the gas seal cover 70 and the bearing cover 30.

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, a fixing nut 60 is threadedly connected to the high-speed shaft 10 located between the high-speed labyrinth disk 40 and the cover portion 72. The center of the high-speed labyrinth disk 40 fixes the inner ring of the bearing 20 between itself and the stepped surface of the high-speed shaft 10. The fixing nut 60 is used to prevent the high-speed labyrinth disk 40 from slipping outward during high-speed rotation. Therefore, the fixing nut 60 fixes the inner ring of the bearing 20 and the high-speed labyrinth disk 40 to the high-speed shaft 10. A raised annular bearing pressure ring 39 is provided in the middle of the inner end face of the bearing cover 30. The bearing cover 30 located outside the bearing pressure ring 39 overlaps the end face of the bearing seat 22. The bearing pressure ring 39 extends into the inner side of the bearing seat 22 and fixes the outer ring of the bearing 20 between itself and the stepped surface of the bearing seat 22. The bearing cover 30 located inside the bearing pressure ring 39, together with the bearing seat 22, the high-speed shaft 10 and the high-speed labyrinth disk 40, constitutes the bearing mounting cavity 24. The bearing 20 is installed in the bearing mounting cavity 24.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a lubricating oil inlet 32 ​​is provided on the outer side of the bearing cover 30, and a lubricating oil channel 34 is provided inside the bearing cover 30 to connect the lubricating oil inlet 32 ​​with the bearing mounting cavity 24. The bearing lubricating oil is pressed into the bearing mounting cavity 24 through the lubricating oil inlet 32 ​​and the lubricating oil channel 34 to lubricate the bearing 20 and extend the service life of the bearing 20.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the labyrinth structure includes a radial labyrinth structure and an end-face labyrinth structure. The radial labyrinth structure includes a radial labyrinth groove 36 disposed on the inner side of the bearing cap 30. In this embodiment, the radial labyrinth groove 36 is an annular groove formed by a radial recess on the inner side of the bearing cap 30. Multiple radial labyrinth grooves 36 are provided along the axial direction. In this embodiment, two radial labyrinth grooves 36 are preferably provided. When the bearing cap 30 and the high-speed labyrinth disk 40 are fitted together, the radial labyrinth grooves 36 form a radial labyrinth gap between the bearing cap 30 and the high-speed labyrinth disk 40. The end-face labyrinth structure includes a first end-face labyrinth structure 38 disposed on the outer end face of the bearing cap 30 and a second end-face labyrinth structure 42 disposed on the inner end face of the high-speed labyrinth disk 40. The first end-face labyrinth structure 38 and the second end-face labyrinth structure 42 are both compatible interlocking structures. When the bearing cap 30 and the high-speed labyrinth disk 40 are combined, the first end-face labyrinth structure 38 and the second end-face labyrinth structure 42 are cross-engaged, and an end-face labyrinth gap is formed between the first end-face labyrinth structure 38 and the second end-face labyrinth structure 42.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the working principle of the oil sealing structure for high-speed rotating parts under negative pressure environment of this utility model is as follows:

[0029] Driven by a power source, the high-speed shaft 10 rotates the inner ring of the bearing 20, the high-speed labyrinth disk 40, and the fixing nut 60 at high speed. The pressed sealing gas forms a positive pressure dynamic seal on the rotating high-speed shaft 10 within the gas-sealing cavity 720. Positive pressure dynamic seals are also formed in the radial labyrinth gap and the end face labyrinth gap between the high-speed labyrinth disk 40 and the bearing cover 30, and the pressure can be adjusted according to the negative pressure. At the same time, the sealing ring 50 installed between the gas-sealing cover 70 and the bearing cover 30 provides a static seal. This dynamic and static combination sealing method, which combines a labyrinth structure positive pressure gas seal with a sealing ring static seal, effectively prevents lubricating oil leakage. Moreover, the gaps between each component are filled with positive pressure gas, preventing contact wear between components and saving the cost of periodically replacing parts. It is also clean, pollution-free, and the gas source is inexpensive, eliminating the need for additional gas supply devices. While ensuring the cleanliness of the working medium and normal production, it also boasts superior economic and environmental benefits.

[0030] This utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the above concept without creative effort shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
