Conventionally, a high-temperature bellows seal type mechanical seal as shown in FIG. 8 is known as a mechanical seal that does not perform flushing with a cooling liquid in a high-temperature liquid in which the sealing liquid exceeds 200 ° C. (hereinafter, “prior art”). For example, refer to Patent Document 1.).
The prior art high temperature bellows seal type mechanical seal shown in FIG. 8 is attached to a shaft seal 53 formed between the rotating shaft 50 and the housing 51 to seal between the rotating shaft 50 and the housing 51. A collar 54 attached to the housing 51 side, a bellows 55 connected to the collar 54, a retainer 56 connected to the bellows 55, a seal ring 57 fitted to the retainer 56, and a rotation A mating ring 58 attached to the shaft 50 side and a cylindrical baffle sleeve 59 provided at a predetermined interval on the inner peripheral side of the collar 54 are provided. In addition, steam quench is supplied from the supply hole 64 of the seal cover 60 to the seal end face as a flow path formed by the inner periphery of the stationary side of the mechanical seal and the outer periphery of the baffle sleeve 59, and the mechanical seal portion is cooled. Liquid leaking from the end face of the seal is washed and discharged.

  The sliding torque at the end face of the seal ring 57 is transmitted from the retainer 56 to the bellows 55 to the collar 54, and the collar 54 fixed to the seal cover 60 with the bolt 63 is received. A slight vibration (stick slip) in the circumferential direction due to a change in the lubrication condition of the end face of the seal ring 57 propagates from the retainer 56 to the bellows 55. In order to suppress this slight vibration in the circumferential direction, a baffle sleeve 59 fixed to the seal cover 60 with a bolt 63 extends to the inner periphery of the retainer 56, and the outer diameter of the baffle sleeve 59 and the innermost diameter of the retainer are When a vibration is applied to the outer peripheral surface of the baffle sleeve 59 with a damper 61 that has a vibration-damping action by contacting the inner peripheral surface of the bellows 55 and narrowing it to a small gap (mostly four equally). The vibration control function is provided so as not to swing more than this minute gap.

  In such a mechanical seal, the collar 54, the bellows 55, and the retainer 56 are usually joined by, for example, welding, and a seal ring 57 made of a sliding material such as carbon is hermetically shrink-fitted or attached to the retainer 56. The members are press-fitted, and these members are assembled in advance in a factory or the like.

However, the conventional mechanical seal has the following problems.
When attaching various members to the seal cover 60, the collar 54, bellows 55, retainer 56 and seal ring 57 (hereinafter referred to as “stationary side seal member”) are attached to the inside of the seal cover 60 (sealed fluid side). On the other hand, since the baffle sleeve 59 is an L-shaped integrally processed product, the baffle sleeve 59 can be mounted only from the outside (atmosphere side) of the seal cover 60. For this reason, the stationary seal member and the baffle sleeve 59 cannot be pre-assembled in advance and have to be assembled locally. At that time, the damper 61 mounted between the inner peripheral surface of the bellows 55 and the outer surface of the baffle sleeve 59 is wound around the baffle sleeve 59, and then the difficult operation of inserting the bellows 55 must be performed on site. There was a problem of not getting.

However, the present invention is not construed as being limited thereto, and the present invention is not limited to the scope of the present invention. Various changes, modifications, and improvements can be made based on the knowledge of the vendor.

A mechanical seal according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing an example of a mechanical seal according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a high-temperature liquid exceeding 200 ° C. in petroleum refining, petrochemistry, iron chemistry and the like. For example, equipment for handling hot oil in a vacuum distillation facility of an oil refinery plant, for example, a housing for a shaft seal in a pump or the like, reference numeral 2 is a seal cover mounted on the housing 1 by fixing means such as bolts (not shown) It is. Further, the left side in the figure is the inside of the machine, and the right side in the figure is the outside of the machine (atmosphere side).

  The mechanical seal shown in FIG. 1 is a mechanical seal that is mounted on a shaft seal portion 4 formed between the rotary shaft 3 and the housing 1 and seals between the rotary shaft 3 and the housing 1. A collar 6 attached to the inside of the machine, a bellows 7 connected to the collar 6, a retainer 8 connected to the bellows 7, and a seal ring 9 that is shrink-fitted or press-fitted into an end surface of the retainer 8. And a mating ring 10 attached to the rotary shaft 3 side.

The collar 6 has a cylindrical shape made of metal, and is attached to the inside of the seal cover 2 via an annular gasket 15.
The bellows 7 is formed by arranging a plurality of metal diaphragm plates formed in a corrugated ring shape by punching or the like, and alternately connecting between outer diameter portions and inner diameter portions of adjacent diaphragm plates by gas welding or the like. Is formed in a bellows tube shape, and one end is integrally connected to the collar 6 side by gas welding or the like.

The retainer 8 is made of metal and has a cylindrical shape, and the other end of the bellows 7 is integrally connected by gas welding or the like. The material of the retainer 8 is the same as the material of the bellows 7 or is made of a different material whose thermal expansion coefficient is approximately similar.
Normally, after the retainer 8, the bellows 7 and the collar 6 are manufactured as a single piece by welding, a corrosion resistant / abrasion resistant ion plating of 10 μm or less such as special chromium nitride or titanium nitride is uniformly applied to all surfaces thereof. To do. As a result, the entire surface of the retainer 8, the bellows 7 and the collar 6 has uniform corrosion resistance, so that even if it is made of a material with low corrosion resistance, the corrosion resistance of the ion plating becomes the overall corrosion resistance, greatly limiting the selection of materials. Less.

  The seal ring 9 has a cylindrical shape formed of silicon carbide, carbon, other ceramics, etc., and forms a seal surface 16 perpendicular to the axis of the rotary shaft 3 on the sliding surface with the mating ring 10. doing.

  The seal ring 9 is shrink-fitted or press-fitted into the end surface of the retainer 8.

  A cylindrical baffle sleeve 17 is attached to the inner peripheral side of the seal ring 9, the retainer 8, the bellows 7, and the collar 6 at a predetermined interval, and the quenching liquid supplied to the seal cover 2 by the baffle sleeve 17 is supplied. The quenching liquid supplied from the hole 35 is reliably guided to the sealing surface 16. The baffle sleeve 17 is made of a hard material such as stainless steel or is subjected to corrosion / abrasion-resistant ion plating having a thickness of 10 μm or less such as hard chrome plating, special chromium nitride, or titanium nitride.

  One or more notches (not shown) are provided on the inner peripheral side of the retainer 8. On the other hand, the tip of the baffle sleeve 17 fixed to the seal cover 2 extends to the vicinity of the seal end face side of the seal ring 9 and engages with a notch of the retainer 8 with a minute gap (illustrated). The clutch structure 18 is formed in which the notch of the retainer 8 and the teeth of the baffle sleeve 17 mesh with each other so as to be movable in the axial direction. With this structure, the sliding torque of the seal end surface of the seal ring 9 is received by the baffle sleeve 17 and the sliding torque is not transmitted to the bellows 7, so that the sticking to the seal end surface of the seal ring 9 is caused by unstable lubrication of the seal surface. Even if slip occurs, the bellows 7 is not affected by stick slip.

  A damper 19 is provided between the outer peripheral surface of the baffle sleeve 17 and the inner peripheral surface of the bellows 7 to keep the bellows 7 steady even when vibration occurs in the bellows 7. The damper 19 has a ring shape, for example, a belt shape, and is attached to an annular groove 20 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the baffle sleeve 17. For this reason, the fatigue of a bellows can be postponed and durability can be ensured. Further, one or a plurality of cutouts are provided in the outer peripheral portion of the damper 19 and the inner peripheral portion of the retainer 8, and the quenching liquid supplied from the quenching liquid supply hole 35 is sealed by the baffle sleeve 17. The minute leakage liquid from the seal surface 16 can be washed and discharged.

FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view showing another example of the mechanical seal according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows that the end surface of the retainer 8 and the end surface of the seal ring 9 are hermetically contacted with a lap joint. Although it is different from the mechanical seal shown, other configurations are the same as those in FIG.
The mechanical seal shown in FIG. 2 is a mechanical seal that is attached to a shaft seal portion 4 formed between the rotary shaft 3 and the housing 1 and seals between the rotary shaft 3 and the housing 1. A collar 6 mounted on the inner side of the machine, a bellows 7 coupled to the collar 6, a retainer 11 coupled to the bellows 7, and a seal ring 12 sealingly contacting the end surface of the retainer 11 with a lap joint. And a mating ring 10 attached to the rotary shaft 3 side.

  The seal ring 12 has a seal end face that is lapped on both end faces, and the seal ring 12 and the retainer 11 are separated from each other. The end face on the seal ring 12 side of the retainer 11 is also lapped. Both have a lap joint structure that seals the wrapping surfaces together. Since the seal ring 12 and the retainer 11 are separated from each other, the flatness of the seal end surface of the seal ring 12 that slides with the mating ring 10 is not affected by the difference in thermal expansion even in a high temperature atmosphere. Sex is maintained. Further, the retainer 11 itself is not affected by pressure deformation or thermal deformation. Furthermore, there is no need for special processes such as shrink fitting, press-fitting, and subsequent heat treatment, and jigs are no longer necessary, thereby reducing costs and man-hours. Further, the seal ring 12 can be easily replaced.

The seal-side end surface of the retainer 11 and the seal end surface of the seal ring 12 are hermetically contacted with each other by the pressing force due to the spring load and fluid pressure of the bellows 7, but the seal end surface of the retainer 11 rotates because the seal ring 12 does not rotate. It is an almost stationary sealing surface that does not slide by.
A notch is provided on the inner peripheral side of the seal ring 12, and a clutch structure 18 is formed in which the teeth of the baffle sleeve 17 mesh with each other so as to be movable in the axial direction.
An annular recess 14 is formed in the outer peripheral surfaces of the retainer 11 and the seal ring 12 so as to partially reduce the outer diameter. A centering case for centering the retainer 11 and the seal ring 12 in the recess 14 is formed. 13 is attached.

  The mechanical seal shown in FIG. 2 has a structure in which the seal ring 12 and the retainer 11 are separated, the seal between the seal ring 12 and the retainer 11 has a lap joint structure, and the seal ring 12 Since the baffle sleeve 17 has a clutch structure that meshes with each other so as to be movable in the axial direction, the sliding torque of the seal end surface of the seal ring 12 is received by the baffle sleeve 17, and the sliding torque is transmitted to the bellows 7. Therefore, even if stick slip occurs on the seal end surface of the seal ring 12 due to unstable lubrication of the seal surface, the bellows 7 is not affected by stick slip by sliding freely at the lap joint portion.

The baffle sleeve 17 used for the mechanical seal or the like shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is composed of a flange portion 21 and a cylindrical portion 22 as shown in FIG. 3A, and has a substantially L-shaped cross section. The flange portion 21 and the cylindrical portion 22 are divided. More specifically, the flange portion 21 and the cylindrical portion 22 are made of different members, and the inner peripheral surface 23 of the flange portion 21 is formed so as to be fitted to the outer peripheral surface 24 of the proximal end of the cylindrical portion 22. Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the flange portion 21 is fitted into a flange portion fitting recess 33 provided on the outer side of the seal cover 2 and is fixed to the seal cover 2 with a bolt 34. Has been.

A clutch structure 18) is formed, and an annular groove 20 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 22 to dispose a damper 19 for stabilizing the bellows 7 between the inner peripheral surface of the bellows 7. Is formed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3A, the flange portion 21 of the baffle sleeve 17 is divided into two in the axial direction, the inner flange portion 21-1 and the outer flange portion 21-2, and the bolt holes 32 are arranged in the circumferential direction. A plurality are provided. A separation preventing member 25 is sandwiched between the split surfaces C of the inner flange portion 21-1 and the outer flange portion 21-2. The separation preventing member 25 is formed of, for example, metal, rubber, or plastic, and has a shape similar to, for example, a magnifying glass frame when viewed from the front, as shown in FIG.

Further, a tongue 26 is extended on the inner diameter side when the separation preventing member 25 is clamped, and a flange portion 21 is fastened on the outer diameter side when the separation preventing member 25 is clamped. A hole 27 for insertion of a bolt 34 which is a fastening member is formed. The tongue 26 of the separation preventing member 25 is formed in a wedge shape with a thin tip.
On the other hand, a hole 28 for fitting the tongue 26 of the separation preventing member 25 is formed in a portion of the outer peripheral surface 24 at the base end of the cylindrical portion 22 facing the separation preventing member 25. In FIG. 3, the hole 28 is formed in the portion into which the tongue portion 26 is fitted.

On the joint surface C of the machine inner flange part 21-1 and the machine outer flange part 21-2, seating recesses 29 and 29 for the separation preventing member 25 are formed, respectively. The recess 29 is formed around the bolt hole 32 and has a size that allows the separation preventing member 25 to be seated. The depth is set to be shallower than ½ of the thickness of the separation preventing member 25, and the flange 29 When the portion 21 is fastened with the bolt 34, the separation preventing member 25 is slightly compressed and deformed from the broken line state to the solid line state as shown in FIG. It is supposed to be.
The separation preventing member 25 is disposed in the seating recesses 29, 29, and a bolt 34 is passed in a state where the tongue portion 26 is fitted in the hole 28 of the cylindrical portion 22, and when the flange portion 21 is fastened. It is clamped to the flange portion 21 by a bolt 34 that is a fastening member. For this reason, the flange portion 21 and the cylindrical portion 22 are fixed so as not to be detached via the separation preventing member 25 by fastening the flange portion 21.

  In FIG. 3, the case where the separation preventing member 25 is mounted around the bolt hole 32 is shown, but this is only an example, and the separation preventing member 25 may be mounted at any position in the circumferential direction of the flange portion 21. In that case, it is not necessary to make the hole 27 for fitting the bolt 34 in the separation preventing member 25. Further, it is desirable to provide the seating recess 29 to prevent the displacement prevention member 25 from being displaced.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, when the flange portion 21 is fastened with a bolt 34, the separation preventing member 25 is compressed and deformed from a broken line state to a solid line state. It is pushed in and out. For this reason, the wedge-shaped tongue portion 26 of the separation preventing member 25 enters the hole 28 of the tubular portion 22, and the separation preventing member 25 is easily tightened with respect to the hole 28 of the tubular portion 22, and the flange portion 21 and the tubular portion The shape portion 22 is integrally fixed to the seal cover 2.

  FIG. 4 shows a state in which the flange portion 21 and the cylindrical portion 22 are fixed so as not to be detached via the separation preventing member 25. 4, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 3 are the same as those in FIG.

  The separation preventing member 25 having a shape similar to the frame of the magnifying glass includes a seating recess 29 formed around the bolt hole 32 of the joint surface C of the machine inner flange part 21-1 and the machine outer flange part 21-2. , 29, and the tongue portion 26 is fitted in the hole 28 of the cylindrical portion 22. When the machine inner flange part 21-1 and the machine outer flange part 21-2 are fastened in this state, the separation preventing member 25 is clamped in the recesses 29 and 29 and cannot move. The tongue 26 fitted into the hole 28 does not come out of the hole 28. Further, since the separation preventing member 25 is compressed and deformed, the wedge-shaped tongue portion 26 enters the hole 28 of the cylindrical portion 22 and is easily tightened with respect to the hole 28 of the cylindrical portion 22. 21 and the cylindrical part 22 are fixed integrally.

  Next, the assembly process of the mechanical seal according to the embodiment of the present invention, for example, the mechanical seal shown in FIG. 1 and the mechanical seal in the prior art will be described with reference to FIGS.

(1) Pre-assembly In the mechanical seal of the present invention, the collar 6, the bellows 7, the retainer 8, the seal ring 9 and the cylindrical portion 22 of the baffle sleeve 17 at the factory and service center (hereinafter referred to as “factory etc.”) Since the damper 19 is pre-assembled in a reliable and controlled state (hereinafter, the pre-assembled member is referred to as “pre-assembled member”), the assembly process of the pre-assembled member can be omitted in the field work.
On the other hand, the mechanical seal according to the prior art is configured such that the stationary side sealing members such as the collar 54, the bellows 55, the retainer 56, and the seal ring 57 and the baffle sleeve 59 integrally formed in a substantially L-shaped cross section are the seal cover 60. Since it can be mounted only from the opposite side, the stationary seal member and the baffle sleeve 59 cannot be pre-assembled in advance.

(5) Installation of related parts In the conventional mechanical seal, the damper 61 as a related part is wound around the baffle sleeve 59 from the inside of the seal cover 60, and then the stationary side seal member is inserted into the outer diameter side of the baffle sleeve 59. However, this work involves some difficulty. On the other hand, in the mechanical seal of the present invention, the damper 19 which is a related part is pre-assembled, so that the mounting work of the damper 19 to the cylindrical portion 22 of the baffle sleeve 17 is unnecessary, and mounting errors and mounting leaks are unnecessary. The designed performance can be ensured.
(6) Mounting of the seal In the mechanical seal of the present invention, the pre-assembly member including the cylindrical portion 22 of the baffle sleeve 17 and the damper 19 is directly mounted on the seal cover 2 from the inside of the machine.
On the other hand, since the mechanical seal of the prior art inserts the stationary side seal member on the outer diameter side of the baffle sleeve 59 while maintaining the state where the damper 61 is wound around the baffle sleeve 59, it can be mounted accurately. Have difficulty.
(7) Bolt Fastening In the mechanical seal of the present invention, the machine inner flange portion 21-1, the separation preventing member 25, and the machine outer flange portion 21-2 of the baffle sleeve 17 are sequentially inserted while being aligned with the recess 25 of the seal cover 2. Then, the bolt 34 is fastened. When the bolt 34 is tightened, the inboard flange portion 21-1 and the outboard flange portion 21-2 are fastened so that the dividing surface C is in close contact with the separation preventing member 25, and the flange portion 21 is sandwiched. And the cylindrical portion 22 are fixed so as not to be detached. For this reason, the flange part 21 and the cylindrical part 22 are integrally fixed to the seal cover 2.
On the other hand, in the conventional mechanical seal, the bolt 63 is fastened to the seal cover 60 via the flange portion of the baffle sleeve 59.

The effects of the mechanical seal according to the embodiment of the present invention are as follows.
(1) Since the baffle sleeve 17 according to the present invention has a structure in which the flange portion 21 and the cylindrical portion 22 are divided, the collar 6, the bellows 7, the retainer 8, the seal ring 9 and the baffle sleeve 17 are installed in a factory or the like. The cylindrical portion 22 and the damper 19 can be pre-assembled in a reliable and controlled state, and the assembly process of the members can be omitted in the field work. For this reason, while incorporating property improves, the mistake in field work can be reduced. Furthermore, conventionally, when cutting an integral baffle sleeve having a substantially L-shaped cross section from a round bar, a material of “the outer diameter of the flange portion × the length of the cylindrical portion” is required. In order to process it into a substantially L shape, it is necessary to cut most of it, which is wasteful. However, the baffle sleeve 17 according to the present invention is formed of the flange portion 21 and the cylindrical portion 22 from different materials. Therefore, waste as in the prior art can be eliminated.
(2) In the mechanical seal of the present invention, the installation space on the outside of the machine of the seal cover 2 can be remarkably reduced as compared with the prior art, so that assembly in a small space is possible.
(3) In the baffle sleeve 17 according to the present invention, the flange portion 21 is divided into two in the axial direction, and the separation preventing member 25 is sandwiched between the inner flange portion 21-1 and the outer flange portion 21-2. Further, a tongue 26 that fits into a recess or hole 28 formed in the cylindrical portion 22 is extended on the inner diameter side of the detachment preventing member 25 that is sandwiched. Since the flange portion 21 and the cylindrical portion 22 are fixed so as not to be detached via the separation preventing member 25, a baffle sleeve having a function sufficiently withstanding disturbance such as vibration can be obtained.
(4) Since the tongue 26 of the separation preventing member 25 according to the embodiment of the present invention is formed in a wedge shape, when the separation preventing member 25 is sandwiched and compressed and deformed, the wedge-shaped tongue 26 is Since it penetrates into the hole 28 of the cylindrical part 22, it can be tightened with respect to the hole 28 of the cylindrical part 22.
(5) The separation preventing member 25 according to the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a hole 27 for fitting a bolt 34 which is a fastening member for fastening the flange portion 21, and the separation preventing member 25 is fastened to the flange portion 21. Since it is clamped by the flange part 21 in the state fitted to the volt | bolt 34 sometimes, it can be reliably compressed and deform | transformed and the penetration | invasion with respect to the hole 28 of the cylindrical part 22 of the wedge-shaped tongue part 26 can be ensured. .
(6) Since the concave portions 29 for seating the separation preventing member 25 are formed on the joint surfaces C of the inner flange portion 21-1 and the outer flange portion 21-2, the separation preventing member 25 is mounted. Is accurate and easy, and the displacement of the separation preventing member 25 can be prevented.
