Therefore, the first to third fixing rings 34 and 36 may be clamped to the structure mounting ring 20 in a tightly contact (assembled) state.
  • the clamping part 70 may be easily detached from the driving part sealing device 1 by separating the clamping members 72 after slightly loosening the pressing bolts 64 and unscrewing the clamping bolts 74.
  • the rotation absorbing part 40 of the driving part sealing device 1 may include one or more convex rings 42 and one or more concave rings 44 that are alternately arranged at corresponding positions on the bottom side of the third fixing ring 36 of the driving part fixing member 30 and the topside of the structure mounting ring 20, so that the rotation of the third fixing ring 36 may not be transmitted to the structure mounting ring 20.
  • the convex rings 42 and the concave rings 44 may be rings and grooves in which the rings are insertable, and rotation may not be transmitted therebetween.
  • rings are arranged at predetermined intervals on the bottom side of the third fixing ring 36 in one piece with the third fixing ring 36, and rings are arranged at predetermined intervals on a central projection 26 of the structure mounting ring 20 in one piece with the central projection 26.
  • the convex rings 42 formed on the bottom side of the third fixing ring 36 are separate from the concave rings 44 formed on the topside of the structure mounting member (ring) 20, rotation may not be transmitted therebetween.
  • the convex rings 42 and the concave rings 44 are sequentially arranged in radial directions with regard to the third fixing ring 36 and the structure mounting ring 20, sealing between the convex rings 42 and the concave rings 44 may be reliable.
  • the rotation absorbing part 40 may include at least one of a lubricant supply inlet 90 and a gas supply inlet 92 in the central projection 26 of the structure mounting ring 20 (the lubricant supply inlet 90 may be favored), so as to reduce friction between the convex rings 42 and the concave rings 44 and improve sealing.
  • a lubricant such as grease may be supplied through the lubricant supply inlet 90 to an innermost region between the convex rings 42 and the concave rings 44, and then the lubricant be smoothly distributed to the outermost convex ring 42 and concave ring 44 by pressure.
  • the lubricant such as grease may be uniformly distributed between the convex rings 42 and the concave rings 44 of the rotation absorbing part 40, and thus the interface between the convex rings 42 and the concave rings 44 may be sealed.
  • the convex rings 42 and the concave rings 44 may be worn or damaged less when the driving part 12 rotates.
  • the lubricant such as grease may block a gap between the convex rings 42 and the concave rings 44 of the rotation absorbing part 40 for sealing therebetween.
  • inert gas such as nitrogen gas may be supplied through the gas supply inlet 92 to form a gas curtain layer for effectively preventing the leakage of gas or dust.
  • the sealing members 80 may be disposed between the lowermost fixing ring of the driving part fixing member 30 (that is, the second or third fixing ring 34 or 36) and the structure 10 or the base 10a. In this way, a gap between metal plates may be sealed.
  • An aspect of the present disclosure provides a driving part sealing device capable of absorbing vibration (shaking) and effectively sealing a structure such as a bin or hopper through which a driving shaft (of a screw feeder) is inserted.
  • alternating ring structures additionally included in the driving part sealing device may prevent transmission of rotation and may provide improved sealing while reducing abrasion.
