Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of centrifugal compressor technology, specifically to a compressor. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, multistage compressors (such as magnetic levitation compressors and industrial compressors) typically employ multiple impellers in cascade arrangement to achieve high-pressure compression. To prevent high-pressure gas from leaking from the back of the impeller to the low-pressure area during compression, the industry practice is to install a separate back seal structure on the back of each impeller, such as a radial seal structure or a gas seal structure.

[0003] While this method achieves effective sealing, the need for each sealing structure to occupy installation space inevitably increases the total axial length of the shaft. This not only leads to increased overall machine size and manufacturing costs, but also complicates bearing arrangement, rotor stiffness, and moment of inertia calculations, hindering the achievement of high-speed operation stability and the goal of a compact overall design. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve the problem in the prior art where the axial length of the motor shaft increases due to the impeller seal. This purpose is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0045] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the compressor 51 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first volute 511, a rotating shaft 512, and an impeller sealing assembly 513. The first volute 511 has a first inner cavity and a second inner cavity that are isolated from each other. The impeller sealing assembly 513 includes a first impeller 5131 and a second impeller 5133 that are coaxially arranged. The backs of the first impeller 5131 and the backs of the second impeller 5133 are arranged opposite to each other. A sealing space is defined between the backs of the first impeller 5131 and the backs of the second impeller 5133 along the axial direction of the first impeller 5131. The impeller sealing assembly 513 also includes a sealing plate 5132. The sealing plate 5132 is disposed in the sealing space and connected to the first volute 511. The sealing plate 5132 separates the first inner cavity and the second inner cavity. A first sealing structure 5134 is provided between the sealing plate 5132 and the back of the first impeller 5131, and a second sealing structure 5135 is provided between the sealing plate 5132 and the back of the second impeller 5133.

[0046] The first impeller 5131 is disposed in the first inner cavity, the second impeller 5133 is disposed in the second inner cavity, and the sealing plate 5132 is disposed between the first impeller 5131 and the second impeller 5132 for sealing and isolating adjacent impellers. The first impeller 5131 and the second impeller 5133 are arranged back to back, with their back areas facing the two sides of the sealing plate 5132 respectively.

[0047] The compressor 51 also includes a rotating shaft 512, which passes through a sealing plate 5132 and is used to transmit power from the outside to the two impellers. The first end of the rotating shaft 512 is located in the first inner cavity and the second inner cavity, and connects the first impeller 5131 and the second impeller 5133, thereby realizing the coaxial linkage drive of the two-stage impellers. During operation, the rotating shaft 512 drives the first impeller 5131 and the second impeller 5133 to rotate synchronously, compressing the gas in the first inner cavity and the second inner cavity respectively. Since the sealing plate 5132 effectively isolates the two inner cavities, and a first sealing structure 5134 and a second sealing structure 5135 are respectively provided between the two impellers and the sealing plate 5132, it can effectively prevent gas from flowing from one side of the compression area to the other side of the compression area, improving compression efficiency and system stability.

[0048] According to the compressor 51 of this embodiment, by sharing a sealing plate 5132 between the backs of two oppositely arranged impellers, and by setting sealing structures on the sealing plate 5132 and the two impellers (hereinafter collectively referred to as impellers) respectively, the backs of the two impellers are simultaneously sealed, avoiding the structural redundancy caused by setting a separate seal for each impeller in the traditional structure. This significantly shortens the axial installation length required for the motor shaft 512, making the overall structure of the compressor 51 more compact, which is conducive to the miniaturization, modular design and installation layout of the equipment.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first sealing structure 5134 includes a plurality of first protrusions and a plurality of second protrusions 51342. The plurality of first protrusions 51341 are annular and formed on the back of the first impeller 5131, and are coaxially arranged with the first impeller 5131. The plurality of first protrusions 51341 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the radial direction of the first impeller 5131. The plurality of second protrusions 51342 are annular and formed at one end of the sealing plate 5132 facing the impeller, and are coaxially arranged with the first impeller 5131. The protruding structures 51342 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the radial direction of the first impeller 5131. The multiple first protruding structures 51341 and the multiple second protruding structures 51342 are arranged alternately along the radial direction of the first impeller 5131. That is, each first protruding structure 51341 is located between two adjacent second protruding structures 51342 in the radial direction, and vice versa. This defines a first sealing gap that extends in a zigzag pattern along the radial direction of the first impeller 5131 between the back of the first impeller 5131 and the sealing plate 5132.

[0050] By employing a complex arrangement of multiple radially interlocking annular protrusions, a complex reversal path is formed within the sealing area. This forces the gas to undergo multiple directional changes and throttling resistances before leakage, significantly increasing sealing resistance and reducing the leakage rate. Simultaneously, the compact radial distribution of the annular protrusions provides a cumulative sealing effect while occupying minimal space. This allows for the placement of more sealing stages within a limited structural cavity, enhancing the overall sealing level. This is particularly suitable for compressors 51, which require high sealing efficiency but are structurally constrained.

[0051] Specifically, along the axial direction of the first impeller 5131, at least two coaxially arranged first annular grooves 513411 are provided on the end face of the first protrusion facing the sealing plate 5132. All the first annular grooves 513411 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the radial direction of the first impeller 5131, dividing the first protrusion structure 51341 into multiple first comb-tooth structures. In this embodiment, the first annular grooves 513411 are used to divide the original first protrusion structure 51341 into multiple axially outward-extending first comb-tooth structures, effectively increasing the number of "tooth levels" of the sealing structure, giving the first sealing gap more throttling points and energy dissipation parts, thereby significantly improving leakage resistance and sealing efficiency. The more comb teeth there are, the more times the fluid veers through the path, the stronger the eddy current disturbance and expansion / contraction effect, effectively reducing the gas leakage rate. At the same time, the first comb-tooth structure is formed by processing the coaxial first annular grooves 513411, which has good rotational symmetry, helping to improve the machining accuracy of parts and the overall dynamic balance quality, and is particularly suitable for high-speed rotating equipment such as magnetic levitation compressors.

[0052] Furthermore, the first comb tooth structure extends radially outward relative to the axial direction. That is, the extension direction of each first comb tooth structure is not perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first impeller 5131, but is arranged radially outward at a preset angle, forming an oblique distribution structure. Because the first comb tooth structure is arranged obliquely, compared to a traditional vertical tooth structure, its leakage path is no longer a straight axial or radial channel, but forms a three-dimensional tortuous path of "oblique bends and twists," effectively extending the gas flow distance, significantly increasing aerodynamic resistance, and reducing the leakage rate. Simultaneously, during the high-speed rotation of the first impeller 5131, the oblique teeth can guide the airflow outward, deviating from the axial direction, strengthening the consistency of the discharge direction, reducing backflow and turbulent airflow accumulation, and improving sealing stability.

[0053] Preferably, the tilt angle is 5° to 30°, more preferably 10° to 20°, and the radial spacing between the multiple first comb tooth structures is uniform, forming an annular sealing structure with oblique tooth arrangement.

[0054] Specifically, along the axial direction of the first impeller 5131, the second protruding structure 51342 facing the first impeller 5131 has at least two coaxially arranged second annular grooves 513421. All the second annular grooves 513421 are arranged radially at intervals and divide the second protruding structure 51342 into multiple second comb-tooth structures. The function of the second comb-tooth structure is the same as that of the first comb-tooth structure, and will not be repeated here.

[0055] Furthermore, the second comb tooth structure extends outward at an angle relative to the axial direction towards the radial direction. The angled extension of the second comb tooth structure serves the same purpose as the outward angled extension of the first comb tooth structure, and will not be repeated here.

[0056] In some embodiments, the second sealing structure 5135 includes a plurality of third protrusions 51351 and a plurality of fourth protrusions 51352. The plurality of third protrusions 51351 are annular and formed on the back of the second impeller 5133 and are coaxially arranged with the second impeller 5133. The plurality of third protrusions 51351 are arranged in a radially spaced manner along the second impeller 5133. The plurality of fourth protrusions 51352 are annular and formed on one end of the sealing plate 5132 facing the second impeller 5133 and are coaxially arranged with the sealing plate 5132. The plurality of fourth protrusions 51352 are arranged in a radially spaced manner along the second impeller 5133. The plurality of third protrusions 51351 and the plurality of fourth protrusions 51352 are arranged radially alternately and define a second sealing gap extending radially outward between the back of the second impeller 5133 and the sealing plate 5132.

[0057] Specifically, along the axial direction of the second impeller 5133, the end face of the third protrusion structure 51351 facing the sealing plate 5132 is provided with at least two coaxially arranged third annular grooves 513511. All the third annular grooves 513511 are arranged radially at intervals and the third protrusion structure 51351 is divided into multiple third comb tooth structures.

[0058] Furthermore, the third comb tooth structure is arranged to extend outward in a radial direction relative to the axial direction.

[0059] Specifically, along the axial direction of the second impeller 5133, the end face of the fourth protrusion structure 51352 facing the second impeller 5133 is provided with at least two coaxially arranged fourth annular grooves 513521. All the fourth annular grooves 513521 are arranged radially at intervals and divide the fourth protrusion structure 51352 into multiple fourth comb tooth structures.

[0060] Furthermore, the fourth comb tooth structure is arranged to extend outward in a radial direction relative to the axial direction.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first impeller 5131 includes an impeller body 51311 and a boss 51312 connected to each other. The boss 51312 extends along the axial direction and is formed away from the impeller body 51311. The boss 51312 abuts against the back of the second impeller 5133. A sealing plate 5132 is sleeved on the outside of the boss 51312, and a third sealing structure 5136 is provided between the circumferential outer wall of the boss 51312 and the circumferential inner wall of the sealing plate 5132. In this embodiment, by providing a third sealing structure 5136 between the boss 51312 of the first impeller 5131 and the sealing plate 5132, the leaking gas must pass through multiple deflection paths in the axial region, significantly increasing the length of the leakage channel, forming strong aerodynamic resistance, and effectively limiting axial leakage.

[0062] Specifically, the outer circumferential wall of the boss 51312 is smooth, and the inner circumferential wall of the sealing plate 5132 is provided with multiple fifth comb-tooth structures 51361. The fifth comb-tooth structures 51361 and the smooth inner wall form a tortuous and complex axial labyrinthine sealing channel, thereby constituting the third sealing structure 5136. This third sealing structure 5136 is used to seal the axial leakage gap formed between the first impeller 5131 and the sealing plate 5132 due to the structural arrangement. The fifth comb-tooth structures 51361 are provided on the sealing plate 5132, and their rack shape can be rectangular, sawtooth, stepped, or other airflow disturbance structures to further improve the return rate and resistance characteristics of the sealing path.

[0063] Preferably, the fifth comb tooth structure 51361 includes a plurality of comb teeth spaced apart along the axial direction, each comb tooth being convex in the radial direction, forming a radially projecting annular toothed strip. An axially recessed region of equal width is defined between the plurality of comb teeth, the depth of which is approximately equal to the height of the comb teeth.

[0064] Furthermore, the sealing plate 5132 is a graphite sealing plate 5132. The graphite sealing plate 5132 used in this embodiment has excellent wear resistance and can maintain the integrity of the sealing surface structure for a long time under high-speed impeller rotation conditions. Since the sealing plate 5132 and the impeller back have a non-contact or micro-contact fit, the comb-like structure on the impeller back inevitably experiences minor interference, aerodynamic disturbances, or slight scratches during its circumferential movement. If the sealing material's wear resistance is insufficient, the sealing performance will rapidly decline. Using a graphite sealing plate 5132 can significantly improve the wear resistance of the sealing structure while ensuring sealing fit accuracy, adapting to long-term operation under high-speed rotation conditions, and extending the service life of the sealing plate 5132.

[0065] It is understood that the compressor 51 is a three-stage compression compressor 51. The compressor 51 also includes a second volute 514 and a third impeller 515. The second volute 514 has a third inner cavity, and the second end of the rotating shaft 512 is located in the third inner cavity. The third impeller 515 is located in the third inner cavity and connected to the second end of the rotating shaft 512. The third impeller 515 is sealed by a wheel back seal provided on the housing. The wheel back seal is arranged opposite to the back of the third impeller 515, and a fourth sealing structure 5151 is provided between the wheel back seal and the back of the third impeller 515. That is, it is formed by the protruding structure on the back of the third impeller 515 and the corresponding protruding structure on the wheel back seal in a non-contact staggered arrangement, which is used to effectively suppress the leakage of compressed gas from the third-stage exhaust zone to the rear.

[0066] In this embodiment, a common sealing plate 5132 is provided between the first impeller 5131 and the second impeller 5133, and first and second sealing structures 5135 are formed on both sides of it, so that the two impellers share a single sealing element. This eliminates the need for a back seal and its installation space, significantly shortens the length of the shaft 512, and improves the overall structural compactness. However, the third stage still uses a conventional back sealing structure for independent sealing, which is compatible with mature manufacturing processes and reliable sealing performance.

[0067] Understandably, the sealing plate 5132 is detachably connected to the first volute 511, facilitating the installation, disassembly, and maintenance of the impeller sealing assembly 513. Furthermore, after the compressor 51 has been running for a period of time, the sealing plate 5132 may require repair or replacement due to wear, carbon buildup, or failure. The detachable design allows for easy removal of the sealing plate 5132 and its sealing structure without dismantling the entire first volute 511, significantly reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

[0068] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
