Definitions

  • a shaft seal according to the U.S.-A-4,451,048 is designed for turbines with very high speeds.
  • the sealing ring used consists of a carbon material and has free axial end faces. In order to withstand the high temperatures that occur at these speeds, the sealing ring interacts with heat-conducting metallic counter-rings.
  • a generic element was already in the objects of the DE 100 38 586 A1 and the DE 100 62 204 A1 used. There it served as a relief piston in an axial thrust balancing device or as a sealing bushing in a shaft seal. Common to both applications was that a slotted elastic ring was used, which was slightly widened during operation of the turbomachine by the applied pressure, pressed against the housing inner wall and thus fixed. However, the invention does not aim solely at elements with slotted rings, it should also be applicable to closed rings. Regardless of the design results in wrestling of a soft, flowable material, the problem that they gradually by the pressure on them with its edge zone on one side gradually into the gap between the mounted on the shaft piston and the bush and the surrounding Housing bore to be pressed. This results in an increasing wear of the ring and the risk of a decrease in the sealing effect.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid the aforementioned wear and thus to extend the service life of the ring, including the element described above.
  • the ring consists of a soft, flowable material, that in the ring surrounding the rigid wall a recess is formed, which surrounds the free of the walls of the bush-like part end faces of the ring, wherein one of the lateral Limits of the recess is formed by a detachably connected to the rigid wall tubular member.
  • the ring is enclosed on all sides, so there is no gap left in which the ring could escape.
  • a limiting ring detachably connected to this part is arranged in the wall of the recess of the piston or the bush opposite the tubular part.
  • a Mount longitudinally split split ring can be in this way an elastic, by a Mount longitudinally split split ring. This can, however, with less effort for the shaft-side socket-like part, also expanded and pushed over one of the lateral walls of the bush-like part.
  • a particular advantage of the invention is that the entire element including the enclosing wall, which in this case is likewise formed by a bushing, can be combined from separately produced parts outside the turbomachine into a ready-to-mount cartridge.
  • the invention is to be used especially for an axial thrust balancing device or a shaft seal with advantage.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 shown cartridges serve as a discharge piston in Axialschubaus Diseases Pains Roaden.
  • a - not shown - centrifugal pump housing rotatably and immovably to be arranged bushing 1.
  • the remaining parts of the elements are respectively inserted into the socket 1.
  • On the - not shown - shaft of the centrifugal pump is another sleeve-like element to arrange a piston 2 and 3 respectively.
  • the piston 2 in the execution of Fig. 1 has a recess 4, in which a piston ring 5 is inserted.
  • the piston ring 5 is made of elastic material and is separated by a - not shown - axially extending slot. The elasticity and the separation make it possible for the piston ring 5 over the Slide side wall 6 of the piston and let snap into the recess 4.
  • a tubular retaining ring 7 is provided, which is inserted into the socket 1 after insertion of the piston 2 and the piston ring 5 and fastened by screws 8 to the bushing 1.
  • the retaining ring 7 has two effects: First, the cohesion of the cartridge is accomplished by him. Second, it prevents expansion of the piston ring 5 in the area between the piston 1 and sleeve 2, whereby a gradual wear in the range of a gap existing in the prior art design is avoided.
  • the piston 3 in the execution of Fig. 2 has a paragraph 9, on which a closed piston ring 10 is pushed.
  • a closed piston ring 10 is pushed.
  • the retaining ring 7 and the screws 8 correspond to the embodiment of Fig. 1 ,
  • a modification results when, instead of a ready-to-install cartridge mounted in the housing of the turbomachine bushing is used, which is only connected in the housing with the other parts of the element. Even with such, less advantageous appearing embodiment, the invention is nevertheless used.
