Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment technology, specifically to a screw conveyor that prevents powder leakage. Background Technology
[0002] A screw conveyor is a device that uses a motor to drive a screw shaft to rotate, so that materials are conveyed forward along the conveyor casing. It is widely used in the conveying of powdered materials in industries such as grain, chemical, and building materials.
[0003] In existing technologies, the connection between the conveying screw shaft and both ends of the conveyor casing of a screw conveyor typically employs a simple sealing structure, such as a single oil seal or packing seal. However, during long-term use, due to the lack of effective lubrication and protection of the sealing components, they are prone to failure due to wear, leading to leakage of powdery materials from the connection. This not only causes material waste but also pollutes the working environment and may even affect the normal operation of the equipment, increasing maintenance costs and frequency.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a screw conveyor that can effectively prevent powder leakage and improve the service life of sealing components to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a leak-proof screw conveyor. This conveyor, through optimized sealing structure and lubrication method, can effectively prevent powder leakage and extend the service life of sealing components.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A leak-proof screw conveyor includes a conveyor housing, within which a conveying screw shaft is disposed. Connecting flanges are provided at both ends of the conveyor housing. End shafts extend outward from both ends of the conveying screw shaft. An end plate, an oil seal seat, and an oil tank are sequentially mounted on the end shaft along its axial direction. The shaft end plate is fixed to the connecting flange by bolts; The oil seal seat is fixed to the shaft end plate by bolts, and an oil seal is provided inside the oil seal seat; The oil tank is fixed on the oil seal seat; A drive motor is connected to the end shaft on one side of the conveying spiral shaft.
[0007] Furthermore, a pad, a first wear-resistant plate, and a second wear-resistant plate are sequentially arranged on the end shaft within the oil seal seat and in a direction away from the shaft end plate.
[0008] Furthermore, a felt is provided on the end shaft at the outer end of the oil tank, and an oil tank cover is provided on the outer side of the felt, the oil tank cover pressing and fixing the felt onto the oil tank.
[0009] Furthermore, a sleeve is fixed to the outer side of the shaft end plate by studs. The sleeve is located outside the oil tank and oil seal seat to provide protection for both.
[0010] Furthermore, the connecting flange is provided with a first positioning hole, and the shaft end plate is provided with a first positioning shaft on the side facing the connecting flange. The shaft end plate is positioned and installed by cooperating with the first positioning hole of the connecting flange through the first positioning shaft.
[0011] Furthermore, a second positioning hole is provided on the shaft end plate, and a second positioning shaft is provided on the side of the oil seal seat facing the shaft end plate. The oil seal seat is positioned and installed by cooperating with the second positioning hole of the shaft end plate through the second positioning shaft.
[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model sets an oil seal inside the oil seal seat, which can directly seal the connection between the conveying screw shaft and the conveyor housing, effectively preventing the leakage of powdery materials; at the same time, by setting an oil tank, the lubricating oil in the oil tank can lubricate the oil seal, reduce the wear of the oil seal, extend the service life of the oil seal, and further avoid the problem of powder leakage caused by oil seal wear.
[0013] 2. The pad, wear-resistant plate one, and wear-resistant plate two arranged sequentially on the end shaft within the oil seal seat can reduce direct wear between the end shaft and the oil seal seat, thereby improving the overall durability of the equipment.
[0014] 3. The felt and oil tank cover provided at the outer end of the oil tank of this utility model can prevent the lubricating oil in the oil tank from leaking, and can also block external dust and other impurities from entering the oil tank, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the lubricating oil.
[0015] 4. The sleeve fixed to the outside of the shaft end plate of this utility model protects the oil tank and oil seal seat, preventing damage caused by collisions with external objects.
[0016] 5. The present invention achieves positioning and installation between the connecting flange and the shaft end plate, and between the shaft end plate and the oil seal seat, through the cooperation of the positioning shaft and the positioning hole, which facilitates the precise assembly of each component and improves installation efficiency and connection stability.
