The sealing arrangement 106 includes means for introducing air under positive pressure into the chamber 110. Labyrinth seal 212 is configured to allow some air to escape along path 120 into gearbox 100, thereby improving the effectiveness of the labyrinth and improving sealing.

Description
Pressurised Gearbox The present invention relates to sealing arrangements for gearboxes, and in particular to labyrinth seals between a rotatable member and a housing.
Contacting seals between a rotatable member and a housing have been used, but these have a limited service life before requiring replacement. Replacement can be difficult and expensive in certain applications, hence the use of labyrinth seals.
These provide a non-contact sealing action achieved by labyrinthine or tortuous passages for the passage of fluid between the seal and the shaft. Labyrinth seals are sometimes used with contacting V-ring seals which lift off at speed; this reduces wear but does not eliminate it. However, if the speed of the shaft is insufficient, the V-ring will not lift off, which means that this approach is not ideal for low speed shafts.
The present invention provides an improvement to labyrinth seals, in which air is pumped between labyrinth elements. Some of the air leaves the gearbox and which prevents dust ingress and improves oil cleanliness. Some air passes into the gearbox, which helps to resist the movement of oil along the labyrinth, thereby improving sealing. This arrangement is suitable for industrial gearboxes operating in challenging environmental conditions, for example in trains, earth-moving equipment, aero-engines, marine applications and offshore wind turbines, and helps to ensure that the gearbox and lubricant is maintained in an optimum condition.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sealing arrangement for a gearbox comprising a housing and a shaft.
The sealing arrangement includes a chamber adapted for receiving air under positive pressure and a labyrinth seal connected to the chamber and adapted to seal against the shaft. In one configurations, in use, the air received by the chamber escapes across the labyrinth seal and away from the gearbox thereby preventing dust ingress and improving oil cleanliness. In another configuration, in use, the air received by the chamber escapes across the labyrinth seal and into the gearbox, thereby resisting oil movement along the labyrinth and improving sealing.
The sealing arrangement can also include a chamber adapted for receiving air under positive pressure, a first labyrinth seal connected to the chamber and adapted to seal against the shaft, and a second labyrinth seal connected to the chamber and adapted to seal against the shaft. In use, the air received by the chamber escapes across the first labyrinth seal and away from the gearbox thereby preventing dust ingress and improving oil cleanliness, and the air received by the chamber escapes across the second labyrinth seal and into the gearbox, thereby resisting oil movement along the labyrinth and improving sealing. Preferably, an exit to the chamber lies between the first labyrinth seal and the second labyrinth seal.
Preferably, the sealing arrangement includes a V-ring seal located on the main shaft and adjacent to the labyrinth seal wherein the escape of air improves the operation of the V-ring seal.
Preferably the shaft is a main shaft of a wind turbine gearbox, and the arrangement comprises an end cover for the gearbox housing, the end cover including a static part of a labyrinth seal, the labyrinth seal including an upwind part and a downwind part. The end cover comprises a chamber connected to a source of air having a pressure greater than the wind turbine surroundings. The chamber communicates with the upwind part and the downwind part, so that, in use air escapes from the chamber via the upwind part and the downwind part; preventing leakage of oil out of the gearbox and ingress of particulate material into the gear box.
The invention further provides a gearbox comprising the sealing arrangement described above.
The invention further provides a wind turbine comprising the sealing arrangement described above.
The present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with references to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a cross section of a sealing arrangement of the present invention; Figure 2 is a cross section of a sealing arrangement of the present invention; Figure 3 shows an external view of an offshore wind turbine; and Figure 4 shows a V-ring seal.
Referring to Figure 1, which shows part of a gearbox 100 having a shaft 102 supported on bearings 104, a sealing arrangement 106 between a gearbox housing 108 and shaft 102 serves to prevent leakage of lubricant from the gearbox. The lubricant serves to lubricate bearings 104.
Sealing arrangement 106 has a chamber 110 and a labyrinth seal 212.
Labyrinth seal 212 contacts shaft 102 in the usual manner.
Sealing arrangement 106 also includes means for introducing air under positive pressure into chamber 110; this can be, for example, a conduit 110 as shown.
Chamber 110 is located between two labyrinth seals; labyrinth seal 212 is configured to allow some air to escape along path 120 into gearbox 100, thereby improving the effectiveness of the labyrinth and improving sealing. Labyrinth seal 212 is configured to allow some air to escape along path 122 into immediate environment 124 of gearbox 100, which, in the case of a wind turbine gearbox, is typically nacelle 308 of Figure 3. Air escaping along path 122 reduces particle ingress into the gearbox from immediate environment 124.
Referring to Figure 2, which shows part of a gearbox 100 having a shaft 102 supported on bearings 104, a sealing arrangement 106 between a gearbox housing 108 and shaft 102 serves to prevent leakage of lubricant from the gearbox. The lubricant serves to lubricate bearings 104.
Sealing arrangement 106 has a chamber 110, a first labyrinth seal 112, and a second labyrinth seal 114. Labyrinth seals 112,114 contact shaft 102 in the usual manner.
Sealing arrangement 106 includes means for introducing air under positive pressure into chamber 110; this can be, for example, a conduit 110 as shown. The air under pressure is provided by a compressor or source or compressed gas. First labyrinth seal 214 is configured to allow some air to escape along path 120 into gearbox 100, thereby improving the effectiveness of the labyrinth and improving sealing. Second labyrinth seal 216 is configured to allow some air to escape along path 122 into immediate environment 124 of gearbox 100, which in the case of a wind turbine gearbox is typically the nacelle. Air escaping along path 122 reduces particle ingress into the gearbox from immediate environment 124.
Sealing arrangement 106 can include V-ring seal 218 as the air pressure escaping along path 122 would help lift the V ring seal off earlier and reduce the wear. This is because particles will tend to be pushed away from the V-ring. The V-ring life will be extended and help maintain the sealing of the gearbox when not in operation (i.e an air pressure differential is maintained).
Sealing arrangement 106 can use a V ring seal as the air pressure would help lift the V ring seal off earlier and reduce the wear.
Referring to Figure 4, V-ring seal 402 is normally stretched and mounted directly on shaft 102, where it is held in position by the inherent tension of the rubber body. It rotates with the shaft and seals axially against a stationary counterface 406, perpendicular to the shaft. Counterface 406 can be the side wall of a bearing or a washer, stamping, bearing housing, etc. Sealing lip 404 is flexible and applies only a relatively light contact pressure against counterface 406, but is sufficient to maintain the sealing function.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of an example of a wind turbine. Although an offshore wind turbine is shown, it should be noted that the description below may be applicable to other types of wind turbines. The wind turbine 302 includes rotor blades 404 mounted to a hub 306, which is supported by a nacelle 308 on a tower 310.
Wind causes the rotor blades 304 and hub 306 to rotate about a main axis. This rotational energy is delivered to a powertrain having the lubrication arrangement described above and housed within the nacelle 308.
Embodiments in disclosed above and the drawings are suitable for use with wind turbines, and when used as such direction 122 is a generally upwind direction and direction 120 is a generally downwind direction.
