[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0020] A shaft seal circulation cooling device includes: a pump body 1; a shaft seal cover 8 and a shaft seal shield 9 fixedly installed inside the pump body 1, with one side of the shaft seal shield 9 abutting against the side of the shaft seal cover 8, and a water cooling channel 10 for cooling water flow between the shaft seal cover 8 and the shaft seal shield 9; a fixing ring 11 fixedly installed inside the shaft seal shield 9, and the fixing ring 11 is located inside the water cooling channel 10; a cooling water tank 3 installed on the top of the pump body 1; and a cooling mechanism installed on the pump body 1 for circulating cooling water from the cooling water tank 3 to the water cooling channel 10 to cool and reduce the temperature of the fixing ring 11.

[0021] It should be noted that the cooling water tank 3 is made of food-grade PP material with an internal antibacterial coating, which can inhibit the growth of microorganisms such as Legionella and extend the water change cycle in the cooling water tank 3.

[0022] In an optional embodiment: such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the cooling mechanism includes an inlet 4, an outlet 5, a first connecting pipe 6, a second connecting pipe 7, and a micro water pump 20. The inlet 4 is connected to one side of the cooling water tank 3, and the outlet 5 is connected to the other side of the cooling water tank 3. The inlet 4 is connected to one end of the first connecting pipe 6. The micro water pump 20 is fixedly installed on the side of the pump body 1. The pumping end of the micro water pump 20 is connected to the water cooling channel 10. The other end of the first connecting pipe 6 is connected to the outlet end of the micro water pump 20. The outlet 5 is connected to one end of the second connecting pipe 7, and the other end of the second connecting pipe 7 is connected to the water cooling channel 10.

[0023] It should be noted that the inlet 4, outlet 5, first connecting pipe 6, and second connecting pipe 7 work in conjunction with the micro water pump 20 to circulate and transport cooling water into the water cooling channel 10 to cool and reduce the temperature of the fixed ring 11.

[0024] The first connecting pipe 6 and the second connecting pipe 7 are made of food-grade 304 stainless steel, which not only has a thermal conductivity of up to 16.2W / (m・K), far exceeding that of ordinary plastic pipes, but also has the characteristics of corrosion resistance and temperature difference resistance, and can adapt to extreme working conditions from -40℃ to 120℃.

[0025] In an optional embodiment: such as Figure 4 As shown, the shaft seal cover 8 has a first mounting groove 12 and a third mounting groove 22 on its side. A first sealing ring 13 is installed in the first mounting groove 12, and the surface of the first sealing ring 13 contacts the side of the fixing ring 11. A sealing ring 21 is provided in the third mounting groove 22, and the surface of the sealing ring 21 contacts the side of the shaft seal cover 9.

[0026] It should be noted that the first sealing ring 13 is used to seal the connection between the shaft seal cover 8 and the fixed ring 11, thereby improving the sealing effect between the shaft seal cover 8 and the fixed ring 11.

[0027] By setting the sealing ring 21, the connection between the shaft seal cover 8 and the fixing ring 11 can be sealed again. By sealing the connection between the shaft seal cover 8 and the fixing ring 11, the leakage of cooling water from the water cooling channel 10 can be prevented.

[0028] The first sealing ring 13 and the sealing ring 21 are made of fluororubber, with a temperature range of -20℃ to 200℃. They can still maintain elasticity under the continuous scouring of the water cooling channel 10. Their cross-section is designed as a stepped shape, and a sealing accuracy of 0.01mm is achieved through double extrusion.

[0029] In an optional embodiment: such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a second mounting groove 14 is provided on the surface of the fixing ring 11, and a second sealing ring 15 is provided in the second mounting groove 14. The second sealing ring 15 is in contact with the inner wall of the shaft seal cover 9.

[0030] It should be noted that by setting the second sealing ring 15, a composite structure of polytetrafluoroethylene and nitrile rubber is selected, which can seal the space between the fixing ring 11 and the inner wall of the shaft seal cover 9.

[0031] In an optional embodiment: such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a motor 2 installed on the side of the pump body 1. The output shaft of the motor 2 is fixedly mounted with a transmission rod. The transmission rod passes through the shaft seal cover 8, the shaft seal cover 9, the fixing ring 11 and the front sealing ring 16, and extends into the interior of the pump body 1. An impeller 17 is fixedly mounted on the transmission rod.

[0032] It should be noted that a water inlet pipe 18 is connected to one side of the pump body 1, and a water delivery pipe 19 is connected to the top of the pump body 1. When the impeller 17 is rotated by the drive rod driven by the motor 2, the liquid can enter the pump body 1 through the water inlet pipe 18 and then be discharged through the water delivery pipe 19.

[0033] In an optional embodiment: such as Figure 4As shown, a front sealing ring 16 is fixedly installed on the impeller 17, and one end of the front sealing ring 16 contacts the side of the fixed ring 11.

[0034] It should be noted that, through the setting of the front sealing ring 16, the front sealing ring 16 is made of silicon carbide ceramic material, and the surface is mirror polished (roughness Ra≤0.02μm). The contact pressure with the fixed ring 11 is stable at 0.3-0.5MPa, which can reduce the coefficient of friction (≤0.08) and form an oxide protective layer under instantaneous high temperature, extending the service life of the friction pair to more than 8000 hours.

[0035] The usage process of this utility model is as follows: When the fixed ring 11 heats up during pump operation and needs to be cooled down, the micro water pump 20 is started. The micro water pump 20 draws cooling water into the water cooling channel 10. The cooling water is transported to the cooling water tank 3 through the first connecting pipe 6 and the water inlet 4. The cooling water in the cooling water tank 3 can be transported to the water cooling channel 10 through the water outlet 5 and the second connecting pipe 7. The fixed ring 11 can be cooled down by the cooling water entering the water cooling channel 10.

[0036] By circulating cooling of the fixed ring 11, the heat generated during operation can be efficiently removed, preventing damage to pump components, extending component life, avoiding aging of the fixed ring 11 due to high temperature, reducing replacement frequency, lowering maintenance costs, ensuring sealing performance, preventing leakage caused by overheating failure, improving pump operation stability, and maintaining high-efficiency working state, avoiding efficiency decline caused by heat accumulation.

[0037] 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.
