Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to agitator technology, specifically a sealing structure. Background Technology
[0002] Mixing equipment has been widely used in many industries. The agitator is the main component of the mixing equipment. However, the sealing structure of the agitator is generally a traditional packing seal, which is used under normal pressure or slightly positive pressure conditions. However, after the packing wears down, there will be a gap between the packing and the main shaft, which will cause gas or material leakage in the vessel. It is necessary to tighten the packing with bolts periodically so that the packing fills the gap and ensures the sealing performance. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this invention provides a sealing structure in which the PTFE lip seal has elasticity and self-compensation capability after wear, thus ensuring constant contact with the spindle, eliminating the need for regular maintenance, and offering a longer service life than packing seals.
[0004] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a sealing structure, including a body, a shaft hole at the center of the body for inserting a main shaft, a mounting groove at the top of the shaft hole, and a plurality of PTFE lip seals in the mounting groove. The PTFE lip seal includes a skeleton and an inner ring, the skeleton is circular, the inner ring is located inside the skeleton, and the inner ring has a plurality of lips on its inner side.
[0005] Preferably, the bottom of the body is provided with a flange plate, and the flange plate is provided with a plurality of fixing holes evenly distributed around its circumference.
[0006] Preferably, a gasket is provided below the flange plate.
[0007] Preferably, the inner diameter of the shaft hole is larger than the diameter of the main shaft.
[0008] Preferably, the frame includes a back plate, a bottom plate, and a top plate, with the top plate disposed above the back plate and the bottom plate disposed below the back plate. The bottom plate, back plate, and top plate cooperate to form a mounting cavity, which is used to accommodate the inner ring.
[0009] Preferably, the bottom plate, top plate, and back plate are all annular, and the inner diameter of the bottom plate is larger than the inner diameter of the top plate.
[0010] Preferably, there are two lips, one of which is fixed to the inner ring on the side away from the main shaft, and the other of which is turned upwards on the side facing the main shaft and fits against the outer wall of the main shaft.
[0011] In summary, this utility model achieves the following technical effects: The sealing structure of this utility model uses multiple PTFE lip seals to seal the gap between the spindle and the body. The structure is simple and easy to install. Moreover, the PTFE lip seals have elasticity and self-compensation ability after wear, so they can always be in contact with the spindle. They do not require regular maintenance and have a longer service life than packing seals. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Example 1: like Figure 1 As shown, a sealing structure includes a body 1, with a shaft hole at its center for a main shaft 7 to pass through. A mounting groove 5 is provided at the top of the shaft hole, and a plurality of PTFE lip seals 6 are provided within the mounting groove 5. Figure 2 As shown, the PTFE lip seal 6 includes a skeleton and an inner ring 64. The skeleton is circular, and the inner ring 64 is disposed inside the skeleton. The inner ring 64 has a plurality of lips 65 on its inner side.
[0020] The sealing structure of this embodiment uses multiple PTFE lip seals 6 to seal the gap between the main shaft 7 and the body 1. The structure is simple and easy to install. Moreover, the lip edge 65 of the PTFE lip seal 6 has elasticity and self-compensation ability after wear. Therefore, it can always be in contact with the main shaft 7, requiring no regular maintenance and having a longer service life than packing seals.
[0021] The bottom of the body 1 is provided with a flange plate 2, and the flange plate 2 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 4 evenly distributed around its circumference; the flange plate 2 can be used to fix the body 1 to the top of the vessel.
[0022] A gasket 3 is provided below the flange plate 2; the gasket 3 can fill the gap between the body 1 and the vessel body, and improve the sealing effect between the body 1 and the vessel body.
[0023] The inner diameter of the shaft hole is larger than the diameter of the main shaft 7.
[0024] The frame includes a back plate 61, a bottom plate 64, and a top plate 62. The top plate 62 is disposed above the back plate 61, and the bottom plate 64 is disposed below the back plate 61. The bottom plate 64, the back plate 61, and the top plate 62 cooperate to form a mounting cavity, which is used to accommodate the inner ring 64.
[0025] The base plate 64, top plate 62 and back plate 61 are all annular, and the inner diameter of the base plate 64 is larger than the inner diameter of the top plate 62. This design makes it easier for installers to identify the front and back, and avoids damage to the lip 65 caused by improper installation of the PTFE lip seal 6.
[0026] There are two lips 65. The side of the lip 65 away from the main shaft 7 is fixed to the inner ring 64. The side of the lip 65 facing the main shaft 7 is turned up and fits against the outer wall of the main shaft 7.
