Description

Self-circulating machine sealing is lubricated, cooling, Rinsing unit

Lubricated, the cooling that lubricated, the cooling, Rinsing unit, particularly FLUID TRANSPORTATION that the design relates to a kind of mechanical seal used with the externally connected type mechanical seal of pump class (containing pipeline-type emulsifying machine), Rinsing unit, the genus mechanical manufacturing field.

Key is that the fluid that is transferred can not leak vertically during high speed centrifugal pump (containing pipeline-type emulsifying machine) operation, and the way that solves this difficult problem at present has: enclosed transmission and axial seal technology.Enclosed transmission (as magnetic drives) complex structure, cost height, efficient are low, are subjected to the restriction of conditions such as working medium, transmitted power again, and some do not allow in the working environment of micro-leakage to be mainly used in nuclear industry etc. at present; The axial seal technology is divided into labyrinth seal, packing seal (containing cup packing) and mechanical seal etc. again, labyrinth seal often leakage rate is big, most of occasions are not used, packing seal is used wider, but because of its exist wearing and tearing to axle big, need unsurmountable disadvantage such as often adjustment, just progressively substituted in many occasions by mechanical seal.

Mechanical seal has built-in type and two kinds of installation ways of external mounted, no matter is built-in type or external mounted, the black box that it is made up of a kind of stationary ring element and rotating ring element.Internally mounted mechanical seal places working medium because of moving ring assembly, mainly is applicable to the workplace of water pump, low viscosity oils and chemical solvent; External mechanical seal often assembled in pairs with lubricated, cooling, flushing medium flushing sealing interface, makes the contact surface of dynamic and static ring keep one deck liquid film as thin as a wafer to play lubricated and seal action between the dynamic and static ring in a closed chamber; Washing solution also makes sealing surface keep clean forever simultaneously, and can be being taken away by the fricative heat of dynamic and static ring.

Carry for water pump, low viscosity oils and chemical solvent and use pump, external mechanical seal can utilize working medium as washing solution, for example from delivery side of pump to the Seal cage junction line, utilize the pressure reduction of importing and exporting to carry out self and circulate.When containing more impurity in the higher or fluid, in flush loop, need to adorn cooler or filter to improve cooling and developing result when medium temperature.Though this mode is simple, but to many chemicalpump, particularly working medium is under the situation of slurry, and self medium should not be done to lubricate, when flushing, cooling liquid, should select for use the another kind of liquid compatible as washing solution, set up external lubrication, flushing, cooling system with working medium character.

Required lubricated, the cooling of external mechanical seal, washing solution also need to satisfy the demand of this mechanical seal to pressure.Pump class and pipeline-type emulsifying machine, the pressure of its working medium are about 0.2～0.8Mpa, the pressure of washing solution generally should be than the pressure of working medium high 0.05-0.1Mpa.Used washing solution can be soft water or oils or working medium, and fitness for purpose preferably can be recycling.

In externally lubricated, cooling, the rinse-system, in order to reach pressure required in the Seal cage, usually adopt that a pump (as low pressure fuel pump) will lubricate, cooling, washing solution pump in the Seal cage, though this mode can offer the required pressure of mechanical seal by regulating reduction valve, also can accomplish recycling, but need a special pump, not only increase investment, make machine increase the new source of trouble again.

Also having a kind of is external lubrication, cooling, rinse-system without pump, and directly lubricated, cooling, the washing solution with the outside is connected to pipeline in the Seal cage of mechanical seal, and washing solution flows out naturally then.This mode can't offer mechanical seal with required pressure, can not make lubricated, cooling, washing solution recycling, and poor effect is so seldom use.

In the available data retrieval, have and utilize centrifugal action to make lubricant oil be distributed to the report of lubricating point.But the design utilizes centrifugal principle to form the circulation power that micropump is made lubricated, cooling, washing solution, the two difference in mechanical seal.

The design's purpose is that a kind of outside liquid of design is lubricated, cooling, rinse-system, and this system utilizes the power of rotating shaft self to form a micropump, can offer the required pressure of mechanical seal, makes lubricated, cooling, washing solution recycling.

The design is achieved like this: a liquid container that fills with washing solution is linked to two pipelines in the Seal cage of mechanical seal from sidewall or bottom, wherein a series of in the direction of liquid inlet pipe and the Seal cage is the cylindrical tangent of center line with the shaft axis, and make the direction of liquid inlet pipe liquid stream consistent with the liquid flow path direction in the Seal cage, a series of in the direction of drain pipe and the Seal cage is the cylindrical tangent of center line with the shaft axis, and makes the direction of drain pipe liquid stream consistent with the liquid flow path direction in the Seal cage.Because the machine capsule is with the rotating shaft high speed rotating, be equivalent to a micro centrifugal pump, washing solution in the Seal cage throws away under centrifugal action, being pressed into drain pipe by force gets back in the liquid container through flexible pipe, simultaneously, washing solution in the liquid container flows in the Seal cage with liquid inlet pipe through flexible pipe, replenishes the washing solution that flows out, and finishes a circulation.Rotating ring base capsule in the Seal cage is equivalent to a centrifugal pump when rotating, and washing solution is sucked from pick-up tube, discharges from drain pipe again.The required pressure of mechanical seal can cover the compressed-air actuated pressure of connection by the liquid container that is adjusted in sealing and realize, pressure is adjustable at 0.1-0.8Mpa, specifically, liquid container top in sealing is provided with a steam valve, pressurized air or pump can be from steam valve toward liquid container in aeration, top at liquid container also is provided with pressure gauge simultaneously, the pressure that charges into gas can be read from pressure gauge, when the required pressure of pressure that charges into gas and mechanical sealing element conforms to, stop inflation, will keep certain pressure in jar.The size of the centrifugal force that washing solution is suffered can be by changing the degree of roughness of rotating seat outer surface, or convex parts is set, or centrifugal blade is set realizes.Can cooling tube be set according to operational temperature conditions in jar, from the logical water quench of cooling tube interface.

The design can save medium circulation pump (pressure pump), reduces rate of fault, reduces cost.

Further specify the design below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.

Fig. 1 is that self-circulating machine sealing is lubricated, cooling, Rinsing unit work connection diagram.
