Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sealing structures, and in particular to a leak-proof shaft seal structure for a kneader. Background Technology
[0002] A kneader is a widely used mixing device in the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries for stirring, mixing, and reacting high-viscosity materials. The dynamic seal structure between the stirring shaft and the sidewall of the kneading tank is a key component in preventing material leakage.
[0003] Currently, most kneader shaft seals on the market use a single mechanical seal. These shaft seals lack effective cooling and lubrication mechanisms, and the sealing components are prone to accelerated aging due to excessive temperature after prolonged operation, further shortening the service life of the seal structure. This also affects the overall working efficiency of the kneader. The sealing effect of a single mechanical seal is not good enough and it is not practical enough. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a leak-proof kneader shaft seal structure, which aims to solve the problems of the inability to cool and the existence of only a single seal in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a leak-proof kneader shaft seal sealing structure, including a mounting plate, a stationary ring assembly at the front of the mounting plate, an auxiliary seat, a cooling assembly outside the auxiliary seat, a liquid outlet pipe, the lower part of the liquid outlet pipe being fixedly connected to the auxiliary seat, a cooling chamber being opened inside the auxiliary seat, and a liquid inlet pipe being fixedly connected to the lower part of the auxiliary seat.

A retaining ring is fixedly connected to the front of the sealing stationary ring. The sealing stationary ring has a fourth mounting slot at its front. A limiting ring abuts against the front of the retaining ring. A sealing ring is fixedly connected to the outside of both the sealing stationary ring and the limiting ring.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] The sealing ring is movably connected to a moving ring assembly at its front. The moving ring assembly includes a second upper half ring, a second lower half ring at its lower part, a first upper half ring at its front, and a first lower half ring at its lower part. Connecting grooves are formed on the left and right sides of the second upper half ring, the second lower half ring, the first upper half ring, and the first lower half ring. Two bidirectional threaded rods are threadedly connected between the second lower half ring and the second upper half ring, and between the first upper half ring and the first lower half ring.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. In this utility model, a cooling component is provided, which can specifically cool down the sealing structure, effectively suppress the adverse effects of high temperature generated by relative friction of the sealing components on the sealing performance, thereby significantly extending the service life of the sealing structure, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the kneader, and ultimately improving the overall working efficiency of the equipment.

The second lower half ring 314 and the second upper half ring 313, as well as the first upper half ring 311 and the first lower half ring 312, are all threadedly connected by bidirectional threaded rods 317. There are two bidirectional threaded rods 317, which fix the first upper half ring 311 and the first lower half ring 312, and the second upper half ring 313 and the second lower half ring 314. The four bidirectional threaded rods 317 are threadedly connected to the four connecting grooves 316. The front of the second upper half ring 313 and the second lower half ring 314 are fixedly connected with multiple auxiliary springs 315. Under the preload force of the multiple auxiliary springs 315 and the pressure of the medium, the sealing end face of the moving ring and the sealing end face of the sealing stationary ring 23 are always tightly fitted. The rear of the first upper half ring 311 and the first lower half ring 312 are provided with multiple fixing grooves 318, which are used to install the auxiliary springs 315.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The rotating ring assembly 31 is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft 12 via a bidirectional threaded rod 317. The bidirectional threaded rod 317 makes the gaps between the first upper half ring 311 and the first lower half ring 312, and between the second upper half ring 313 and the second lower half ring 314 gradually smaller. The stationary ring assembly 2 is provided with a rotating ring mechanism 3 at the front. The rotating ring mechanism 3 includes a rotating ring seat 32.

The fixing screws 6 can meet the tight connection between multiple structures and reduce the possibility of leakage. The rotating ring seat 32, the sealing ring 25 and the auxiliary seat 21 are fixedly connected by the fixing screws 6.
[0032] Working principle: When using the kneader, the O-ring 5 is inserted into the first mounting groove 13. The auxiliary seat 21 is rotated to fix it together with the mounting plate 1. At this time, the O-ring 5 is inserted between the first mounting groove 13 and the third mounting groove 212. Then, the rubber ring 22 is put on the first retaining ring 233, and the sealing ring 23, along with the rubber ring 22, is inserted into the second mounting groove 211. The limiting ring 24 is put on the front of the sealing ring 23, and together with the sealing ring 25, the limiting ring 24 is inserted into the second mounting groove 211. Simultaneously, the sealing ring 23 is inserted into the sealing ring 25. The second upper half ring 313 and the second lower half ring 314 are removed. Two double-threaded rods 317 are inserted into the corresponding second lower half ring 314. The second upper half ring 313 is then inserted into the other end of the two double-threaded rods 317. Using a hex wrench, the two double-threaded rods 317 are rotated so that the second upper half ring 313 and the second lower half ring 314 are close together and tightly pressed against the stirring shaft 12. The second upper half ring 313 and the second lower half ring 314 are then... The rear part of ring 4 is close to the sealing ring 25. The fixing grooves 318 on the first upper half ring 311 and the first lower half ring 312 are aligned with the auxiliary springs 315 on the second lower half ring 314 and the second upper half ring 313. The second upper half ring 313 and the second lower half ring 314 are then fixed to the stirring shaft 12. The moving ring seat 32 is then fitted so that the rear part of the moving ring seat 32 is tightly against the sealing ring 25. The four fixing screws 6 are inserted into the corresponding threads of the moving ring seat 32, the sealing ring 25 and the auxiliary seat 21. Tighten the four fixing screws 6 in the hole to make all the components more tightly connected. Finally, connect the coolant pipe to the inlet pipe 44 and connect the outlet pipe 41 to the water outlet pipe. Coolant is introduced into the inlet pipe 44. The coolant enters the cooling chamber 42 through the inlet pipe 44, fills the entire cooling chamber 42 and flows out from the outlet pipe 41. The coolant achieves cooling in this process. Turn on the power to make the stirring shaft 12 start to rotate. The stirring shaft 12 is fixedly connected to the moving ring assembly 31 and rotates with the moving ring assembly 31.
