Description

本発明は、シールケース側の第1密封環と回転軸側の第2密封環との対向端面である密封端面の相対回転摺接作用により、その相対回転摺接部分の内周側領域である被密封流体領域と外周側領域である非密封流体領域とを遮蔽シールするように構成されたメカニカルシールであって、特に、第1密封環を周方向に分割してその分割面が衝合する環状形態にリテーナに内嵌保持させるようにした分割型メカニカルシールに関するものである。   The present invention is an inner peripheral region of the relative rotational sliding contact portion of the sealing end surface, which is the opposing end surface of the first sealing ring on the seal case side and the second sealing ring on the rotary shaft side, due to the relative rotational sliding contact action. A mechanical seal configured to shield and seal a sealed fluid region and a non-sealed fluid region which is an outer peripheral side region, and in particular, the first sealing ring is divided in the circumferential direction and the divided surfaces collide with each other. The present invention relates to a split type mechanical seal that is internally fitted and held in a retainer in an annular form.

従来の分割型メカニカルシールとしては、シールケースに金属製のリテーナを介して軸線方向移動可能に保持された分割形の第1密封環と、回転軸に固定された非分割形の第2密封環と、シールケースとリテーナとの間に介装されて第1密封環を第2密封環へと押圧接触させるべくリテーナを軸線方向に附勢するスプリングとを具備して、両密封環の対向端面である密封端面の相対回転摺接作用により、その相対回転摺接部分の内周側領域である被密封流体領域と外周側領域である非密封流体領域とを遮蔽シールするように構成されたもの(分割型アウトサイドメカニカルシール)が周知である(例えば、特許文献1の図2を参照)。   As a conventional split-type mechanical seal, a split-type first seal ring held in a seal case via a metal retainer so as to be movable in the axial direction, and a non-split-type second seal ring fixed to a rotary shaft And a spring interposed between the seal case and the retainer to urge the retainer in the axial direction so as to press-contact the first seal ring against the second seal ring, The sealed end surface is a relative rotational sliding contact action, and is configured to shield and seal the sealed fluid region that is the inner peripheral region and the non-sealed fluid region that is the outer peripheral region of the relative rotational sliding contact portion. (Divided outside mechanical seal) is well known (for example, see FIG. 2 of Patent Document 1).

而して、かかる従来の分割型メカニカルシールにあっては、第1密封環を周方向に分割して複数の円弧状セグメントに分離構成し、リテーナをシールケースに保持された円筒状の第1リテーナ部材とこれに軸線方向に締め付け可能に取り付けられて第1密封環を内嵌保持する円環状の第2リテーナ部材とで構成すると共に、第2リテーナ部材とこれに内嵌する第1密封環との対向周面に、第2リテーナ部材の第1リテーナ部材への締め付け方向に漸次拡径する裁頭円錐面たるカム面を形成してある。したがって、第2リテーナ部材を第1リテーナ部材へと締め付けて、カム面により第1密封環に縮径方向の緊縛力を作用させることによって、第1密封環を、円弧状セグメントの端面同士が衝合する環状形態に緊縛保持させておくことができる(例えば、特許文献1の図2及び図4を参照)。   Thus, in such a conventional divided mechanical seal, the first sealing ring is divided into a plurality of arc-shaped segments by dividing the first sealing ring in the circumferential direction, and the cylindrical first held by the seal case. A retainer member and an annular second retainer member that is attached to the retainer member so as to be tightened in the axial direction and holds the first sealing ring therein, and a second retainer member and the first sealing ring that fits inside the second retainer member And a cam surface that is a truncated conical surface that gradually increases in diameter in the tightening direction of the second retainer member to the first retainer member. Therefore, by tightening the second retainer member to the first retainer member and applying a tightening force in the diameter reducing direction to the first seal ring by the cam surface, the end surfaces of the arc-shaped segments are brought into contact with each other. It can be held tightly in the annular form to match (see, for example, FIGS. 2 and 4 of Patent Document 1).

ところで、分割型メカニカルシールは、第1密封環を第2密封環より摩耗度の高い材料で構成しておく(一般に、第2密封環をセラミックス等の硬質材で構成すると共に、第1密封環をカーボン等の軟質材で構成しておく)ことにより、両密封環の摺接運動によっては第1密封環のみが摩耗することになり、密封環摩耗によるシール機能低下等が生じた場合にも、メカニカルシール全体を分解することなく、第1密封環のみを交換すればよく、メンテンナンスが容易であり、大型縦軸ポンプ等の軸封手段として好適するものである。   By the way, in the split mechanical seal, the first sealing ring is made of a material having a higher degree of wear than the second sealing ring (generally, the second sealing ring is made of a hard material such as ceramics, and the first sealing ring In this case, only the first seal ring is worn by sliding movement of both seal rings, and the sealing function is deteriorated due to wear of the seal rings. Only the first sealing ring needs to be replaced without disassembling the entire mechanical seal, maintenance is easy, and it is suitable as a shaft sealing means such as a large vertical pump.

特開2004−251376公報JP 2004-251376 A

上記した従来の分割型メカニカルシール(以下「従来メカニカルシール」という)にあっては、第1密封環を金属製のリテーナ(第2リテーナ部材)によって環状形態に緊縛しているため、第1密封環が上記した如くカーボン等の軟質材で構成されることとも相俟って、カム面による緊縛力によって、円弧状セグメントが変形して、第1密封環の密封端面に歪が生じ、第2密封環との相対回転摺接作用によるシール機能が適正に発揮されない。なお、カム面による緊縛力が密封端面に歪を生じさせない程度に低い場合には、第1密封環の内周面にこれを拡径方向に作用する被密封流体の圧力によって、円弧状セグメントの衝合面間が開き、そこから被密封流体が漏洩することになり、当然に良好なシール機能を発揮することができない。   In the above-described conventional split-type mechanical seal (hereinafter referred to as “conventional mechanical seal”), the first sealing ring is bound to an annular shape by a metal retainer (second retainer member). Combined with the fact that the ring is made of a soft material such as carbon as described above, the arc-shaped segment is deformed by the binding force of the cam surface, and the sealing end surface of the first sealing ring is distorted, resulting in the second The sealing function due to the relative rotational sliding contact with the sealing ring is not properly exhibited. When the tightening force due to the cam surface is low enough not to cause distortion on the sealed end surface, the arc-shaped segment of the arc-shaped segment is caused by the pressure of the sealed fluid that acts on the inner circumferential surface of the first sealing ring in the diameter expanding direction. The space between the abutting surfaces is opened, and the sealed fluid leaks from there, and naturally, a good sealing function cannot be exhibited.

そこで、一般には、当該メカニカルシールの組み立て時や第1密封環の分解,交換を行うメンテナンス時に、第1密封環の密封端面を所謂摺り合わせ作業により修正するか、当該密封端面の径方向幅を極端に小さく設定して、正規の運転に先駆けて所謂馴染み運転を行うようにしている。   Therefore, in general, at the time of assembling the mechanical seal or performing maintenance for disassembling or replacing the first sealing ring, the sealing end surface of the first sealing ring is corrected by a so-called sliding operation, or the radial width of the sealing end surface is increased. It is set to be extremely small, and so-called familiar operation is performed prior to regular operation.

しかし、このような摺り合わせ作業や馴染み運転は、高度の熟練を必要とするためユーザサイドでは行い難いものであり、また作業者にも過大な負担を強いることになり、経済的負担も極めて大きい。また、軸封密封端面の径方向幅を極端に小さく設定した分割型メカニカルシールは、ドライ条件下での馴染み運転を行い難いことから、相当時間の気中運転を行うことがある先行待機運転形ポンプ等の軸封手段として採用することができず、その用途が大幅に制限されることになる。   However, such a rubbing operation and a familiar operation are difficult to perform on the user side because it requires a high degree of skill, and it imposes an excessive burden on the operator, and the economic burden is extremely large. . In addition, the split type mechanical seal with an extremely small radial width of the shaft seal sealing end face is difficult to perform familiar operation under dry conditions. It cannot be employed as a shaft sealing means such as a pump, and its application is greatly limited.

本発明は、このような点に鑑みてなされたもので、摺り合わせ作業や馴染み運転を必要とすることなく、分割型の密封環をその密封端面に歪を生じることなく適正な環状形態に緊縛保持しておくことができる分割型メカニカルシールを提供することを目的とするものである。   The present invention has been made in view of these points, and does not require a rubbing operation or a familiar operation, and binds a split-type sealing ring to an appropriate annular shape without causing distortion at its sealing end face. An object of the present invention is to provide a split-type mechanical seal that can be held.

本発明は、第1密封環が周方向に分割されると共にその分割面が衝合する環状形態にリテーナに内嵌保持されており、この第1密封環と第2密封環との対向端面である密封端面の相対回転摺接作用により、その相対回転摺接部分の内周側領域である被密封流体領域と外周側領域である非密封流体領域とを遮蔽シールするように構成された分割型メカニカルシールにおいて、上記の目的を達成すべく、特に、第1密封環を、これとリテーナとの対向周面間に装填させた弾性材製緊縛体の弾性力により、環状形態に緊縛保持させておくことを提案するものである。   In the present invention, the first seal ring is divided into the circumferential direction and the retainer is fitted and held in an annular shape in which the divided surfaces abut each other, and at the opposing end surfaces of the first seal ring and the second seal ring, A split type configured to shield and seal a sealed fluid region which is an inner peripheral side region and an unsealed fluid region which is an outer peripheral side region by a relative rotational sliding contact action of a certain sealing end surface. In the mechanical seal, in order to achieve the above object, in particular, the first sealing ring is tightly held in an annular shape by the elastic force of an elastic material binding body loaded between the opposed peripheral surfaces of the first sealing ring and the retainer. It is suggested to keep.

かかる分割型メカニカルシールの好ましい実施の形態にあっては、リテーナがシールケースに保持された円筒状の第1リテーナ部材とこれに軸線方向に締め付け可能に取り付けられて第1密封環を内嵌保持する円環状の第2リテーナ部材とからなり、第1リテーナ部材の先端面には第1密封環の基端面(背面)を二次シール状態で衝合保持する円環状の保持面及び第1密封環と第2リテーナ部材との対向周面間に形成される環状の装填空間に位置する円環状の押圧面が形成されており、第2リテーナ部材の内周面には装填空間内において前記押圧面に対向する環状の係止面が形成されており、緊縛体が、これを押圧面と係止面とで挟圧した状態で、装填空間に装填されている。かかる実施の形態にあっては、前記押圧面及び係止面の少なくとも一方が、相手面たる押圧面又は係止面から離間する方向に漸次縮径する裁頭円錐面たるカム面に構成されていることが好ましい。また、第1リテーナ部材を、シールケースに保持され且つ第2リテーナ部材が取り付けられる円筒状の本体部分と、前記保持面及び押圧面を有する円環状部分であって本体部分に軸線方向に相対移動可能に内嵌保持された密封環保持部分とに分離構成して、軸線方向において本体部分と密封環保持部分との対向端面間に侵入する被密封流体の圧力により、密封環保持部分に、押圧面を係止面に近接させる方向へ相対変位させる軸線方向力が作用するように構成しておくことが好ましい。なお、緊縛体は非圧縮性弾性材(ゴム等)からなるものであることが好ましい。また、緊縛体は、第1密封環の軸線方向に並列する複数の弾性部材で構成しておくことも可能である。なお、本発明において「軸線」とは、当該分割型メカニカルシールが組み込まれる回転機器の回転軸、これに同心状に取り付けられる第2密封環及びこれに同心状に対向配置される第1密封環の軸線をいい、「軸線方向」とは当該軸線に平行する方向をいう。   In a preferred embodiment of such a split type mechanical seal, a retainer is attached to a cylindrical first retainer member held by a seal case, and can be fastened in an axial direction to hold the first sealing ring. An annular holding surface and a first sealing member for holding the proximal end surface (back surface) of the first sealing ring in a secondary seal state on the distal end surface of the first retainer member. An annular pressing surface located in an annular loading space formed between the opposed peripheral surfaces of the ring and the second retainer member is formed, and the inner circumferential surface of the second retainer member has the pressing force in the loading space. An annular locking surface facing the surface is formed, and the binding body is loaded in the loading space in a state where the binding body is clamped between the pressing surface and the locking surface. In such an embodiment, at least one of the pressing surface and the locking surface is configured as a cam surface which is a truncated conical surface whose diameter gradually decreases in a direction away from the pressing surface or the locking surface as a mating surface. Preferably it is. The first retainer member is an annular portion having a cylindrical main body portion held by the seal case and to which the second retainer member is attached, and the holding surface and the pressing surface, and is relatively moved in the axial direction to the main body portion. The sealing ring holding part is configured to be separated from the inner ring so that the sealing ring holding part can be pressed into the sealing ring holding part by the pressure of the sealed fluid that enters between the opposing end surfaces of the main body part and the sealing ring holding part in the axial direction. It is preferable that an axial force that relatively displaces the surface in the direction to bring the surface close to the locking surface is applied. The binding body is preferably made of an incompressible elastic material (rubber or the like). Further, the binding body can be constituted by a plurality of elastic members arranged in parallel in the axial direction of the first sealing ring. In the present invention, the “axis” refers to a rotating shaft of a rotating device in which the split mechanical seal is incorporated, a second seal ring that is concentrically attached thereto, and a first seal ring that is concentrically opposed to the second seal ring. The “axis direction” means a direction parallel to the axis.

本発明の分割型メカニカルシールにあっては、第1密封環を、これとリテーナとの対向周面間に装填させた弾性材製緊縛体の弾性力により、環状形態に緊縛保持するようにしていることから、リテーナによって直接的に緊縛させる従来メカニカルシールと異なって、第1密封環に歪を生じさせることなく、第1密封環の分割面を適正に衝合させることができる。したがって、本発明の分割型メカニカルシールによれば、冒頭で述べた摺り合わせ作業や馴染み運転を必要とせず、当該メカニカルシールの組み立てや第1密封環の分解,交換を含むメンテナンスを容易且つ効率よく経済的に行うことができる。   In the split type mechanical seal of the present invention, the first sealing ring is tightly held in an annular shape by the elastic force of the elastic material binding body loaded between the opposed peripheral surfaces of the first sealing ring and the retainer. Therefore, unlike the conventional mechanical seal that is directly bound by the retainer, the divided surfaces of the first sealing ring can be properly abutted without causing distortion in the first sealing ring. Therefore, according to the split-type mechanical seal of the present invention, it is possible to easily and efficiently perform maintenance including assembly of the mechanical seal and disassembly and replacement of the first seal ring without requiring the sliding operation and the familiar operation described at the beginning. Can be done economically.

また、本発明の分割型メカニカルシールによれば、第1リテーナ部材を本体部分と密封環保持部分とに分離構成して、被密封流体により密封環保持部分に第2密封環に向かう方向の軸方向推力が作用するように工夫しておくことにより、緊縛力が被密封流体の圧力に応じた自動的に調整され、シール条件に拘わらず良好なシール機能を発揮させることができる。   Further, according to the split type mechanical seal of the present invention, the first retainer member is separated into the main body portion and the sealing ring holding portion, and the shaft in the direction toward the second sealing ring is formed in the sealing ring holding portion by the sealed fluid. By devising such that the directional thrust acts, the binding force is automatically adjusted according to the pressure of the fluid to be sealed, and a good sealing function can be exhibited regardless of the sealing conditions.

The back surface 9b of the first sealing ring 9 and the second retainer member 25 are formed between a holding surface 24b for abutting and holding the back surface 9b through an O-ring 27 in a secondary sealed state, and an annular shape formed between the opposing peripheral surfaces 9c and 25a. Although it has a cylindrical shape formed with an annular pressing surface 24c located in the loading space 28, the main body portion 24A and the sealing ring holding portion 24B are separated as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the main body portion 24A has a cylindrical shape that is fitted and held in the seal case 6 through an O-ring 26 so as to be movable in the axial direction, and to which a second retainer member 25 described later is attached. 3 and 4, an annular recess 24f for fitting and holding the sealing ring holding portion 24B is formed on the inner peripheral side portion of the upper end surface portion 24a. As shown in FIG. 4, the sealing ring holding portion 24B is an annular body in which a pressing surface 24c and a holding surface 24b are formed on the upper end surface portion 24e, and is fitted and held in an annular recess 24f of the main body portion 24A so as to be movable in the axial direction. ing. In the fitting portion between the main body portion 24A and the sealing ring holding portion 24B, an O-ring 30 is mounted between the opposed peripheral surfaces of both portions 24A and 24B so as to be secondary-sealed in a state in which they can move relative to each other in the axial direction. At the same time, the sealed fluid can enter between the opposed end faces 24g and 24h of the two parts 24A and 24B in the axial direction. Both portions 24A and 24B are allowed to move relative to each other in the axial direction by engaging a locking pin 31 protruding from the main body portion 24A with a recess formed in a base end surface (lower end surface) 24h of the sealing ring holding portion 24B. Relative rotation is blocked in As shown in FIG. 4, an annular convex portion 24 d that can be projected and retracted in the loading space 28 in the axial direction protrudes from the end surface portion 24 e of the sealing ring holding portion 24 </ b> B. The end surface is a pressing surface 24c. Further, by engaging the locking pin 29 protruding from the end surface portion 24e of the sealing ring holding portion 24B with the concave portion formed on the back surface 9b of the first sealing ring 9, relative rotation of the both 9 and 24 is prevented. Yes.

第2リテーナ部材25は、図1又は図3に示す如く、内周面25aを第1密封環9の外径より大径とする円環状体であり、適当数の締付ボルト32により第1リテーナ部材24(第2メカニカルシールM2にあっては本体部分24A)に軸線方向に締め付け可能に取り付けられている。第2リテーナ部材25の内周面25aには、第1リテーナ部材24(第2メカニカルシールM2にあっては本体部分24A)に形成され押圧面24cに軸線方向に対向する環状の係止面25bが形成されている。係止面25bは、押圧面24cから離間する方向に漸次縮径する裁頭円錐面たるカム面に構成されている。   As shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 3, the second retainer member 25 is an annular body having an inner peripheral surface 25 a larger in diameter than the outer diameter of the first sealing ring 9, and is The retainer member 24 (a main body portion 24A in the case of the second mechanical seal M2) is attached so as to be clamped in the axial direction. On the inner peripheral surface 25a of the second retainer member 25, an annular locking surface 25b formed on the first retainer member 24 (or the main body portion 24A in the case of the second mechanical seal M2) is opposed to the pressing surface 24c in the axial direction. Is formed. The locking surface 25b is configured as a cam surface that is a truncated conical surface that gradually decreases in diameter in a direction away from the pressing surface 24c.

緊縛体8は、図1又は図3に示す如く、ゴム,合成樹脂等の非圧縮性弾性材で構成された環状部材であり、前記装填空間28に押圧面24cと係止面25bとの間に挟圧された状態で装填されていて、その弾性力により、第1密封環9を、図5に示す如く、円弧状セグメント13,14の端面13a,14aが衝合する環状形態に緊縛している。第1メカニカルシールM1では緊縛体8が単一の環状部材で構成されており、第2メカニカルシールM2では緊縛体8が複数の環状部材8aで構成されている。すなわち、第1メカニカルシールM1においては、図1及び図2に示す如く、緊縛体8として、第1密封環9と第2リテーナ部材25との対向周面9c,25a並びに押圧面24c及び係止面25bで囲繞形成される空間形状に対応する断面形状に成形された一つの環状弾性部材又は当該断面形状に圧縮変形可能な一つの環状弾性部材が使用されている。また、第2メカニカルシールM1においては、図3及び図4に示す如く、緊縛体8として、軸線方向に並列する複数(図示の例では3個)の環状弾性部材(例えば、Oリング又はこれに類する環状の弾性リング)8aを使用し、これらの弾性部材8aが全体として上記断面形状となるように圧縮変形させるようにしている。   The binding body 8 is an annular member made of an incompressible elastic material such as rubber or synthetic resin, as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 3, and the loading space 28 is provided between the pressing surface 24c and the locking surface 25b. As shown in FIG. 5, the first sealing ring 9 is tightly bound to an annular shape in which the end faces 13a and 14a of the arc-shaped segments 13 and 14 abut with each other by its elastic force. ing. In the first mechanical seal M1, the binding body 8 is configured by a single annular member, and in the second mechanical seal M2, the binding body 8 is configured by a plurality of annular members 8a. That is, in the first mechanical seal M1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, as the binding body 8, the opposed peripheral surfaces 9c and 25a of the first sealing ring 9 and the second retainer member 25, the pressing surface 24c, and the locking One annular elastic member formed into a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the space shape surrounded by the surface 25b or one annular elastic member that can be compressed and deformed into the cross-sectional shape is used. Further, in the second mechanical seal M1, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a plurality of (three in the illustrated example) annular elastic members (for example, an O-ring or the like) are arranged in parallel in the axial direction as the binding body 8. A similar annular elastic ring) 8a is used, and these elastic members 8a are compressed and deformed so as to have the cross-sectional shape as a whole.

以上のように構成された第1又は第2メカニカルシールM1,M2にあっては、第2リテーナ部材25を第1リテーナ部材24(第2メカニカルシールM2にあっては第1リテーナ部材24の本体部分24A)に取り付ける締付ボルト32を締め付けると、押圧面24cと係止面25bとが近接方向に相対変位して、装填空間28に装填された緊縛体8(第2メカニカルシールM2にあっては弾性部材群8a)が軸線方向に圧縮変形されて、径方向における第1密封環9の外周面9cへの圧接力が増大し、第1密封環9が緊縛体8又は弾性部材群8aの弾性力によって緊縛される。   In the first or second mechanical seal M1, M2 configured as described above, the second retainer member 25 is replaced with the first retainer member 24 (the main body of the first retainer member 24 in the second mechanical seal M2). When the fastening bolt 32 attached to the portion 24A) is tightened, the pressing surface 24c and the locking surface 25b are relatively displaced in the proximity direction, and the binding body 8 (in the second mechanical seal M2) loaded in the loading space 28 is provided. The elastic member group 8a) is compressed and deformed in the axial direction, and the pressure contact force to the outer peripheral surface 9c of the first seal ring 9 in the radial direction increases, so that the first seal ring 9 is connected to the binding body 8 or the elastic member group 8a. Bound by elastic force.

したがって、締付ボルト32の締め付け量を調整することによって、第1密封環9が円弧状セグメント13,14の端面13a,14aが適正に衝合された環状形態に緊縛保持されることなる。このとき、円弧状セグメント13,14の緊縛が緊縛体8又は弾性部材群8aの弾性力によって行われることから、冒頭で述べた従来メカニカルシールのように金属製のリテーナで直接的に緊縛させた場合と異なって、円弧状セグメント13,14が変形することがなく、第1密封環9の密封端面9aに歪が生じることもない。   Therefore, by adjusting the tightening amount of the tightening bolt 32, the first sealing ring 9 is tightly held in an annular shape in which the end faces 13a, 14a of the arc-shaped segments 13, 14 are properly abutted. At this time, since the arc-shaped segments 13 and 14 are bound by the elastic force of the binding body 8 or the elastic member group 8a, they are directly bound by a metal retainer like the conventional mechanical seal described at the beginning. Unlike the case, the arc-shaped segments 13 and 14 are not deformed, and the sealing end face 9a of the first sealing ring 9 is not distorted.

また、係止面25bを上記した如くテーパ状(裁頭円錐状)のカム面としておくことにより、押圧面24cと係止面25bとで緊縛体8又は弾性部材群8aを軸線方向に圧縮した場合に、緊縛体8又は弾性部材8aの内周方向への弾性変形を促進させることができ、緊縛体8又は弾性部材群8aによる第1密封環9の緊縛をより効果的に行うことができる。   Further, by setting the locking surface 25b to be a tapered (truncated conical) cam surface as described above, the binding body 8 or the elastic member group 8a is compressed in the axial direction by the pressing surface 24c and the locking surface 25b. In this case, elastic deformation of the binding body 8 or the elastic member 8a in the inner peripheral direction can be promoted, and the first sealing ring 9 can be more effectively bound by the binding body 8 or the elastic member group 8a. .

また、第2メカニカルシールM2にあっては、図4に示す如く、第1リテーナ部材24の本体部分24Aと密封環保持部分24Bとの対向端面24g,24h間に被密封流体が侵入して、その圧力(背圧)Pにより、密封環保持部分24Bには押圧面24cを係止面25bに近接させる方向へ相対変位させる軸線方向力が作用して、緊縛体8たる弾性部材群8aを軸線方向に圧縮することになる。この軸線方向力による弾性部材群8aの圧縮度は、被密封流体の圧力Pに比例する。したがって、被密封流体の圧力Pに応じた第1密封環9の緊縛力が得られることになり、円弧状セグメント13,14の端面13a,14aの衝合力が第1密封環9の内圧(第1密封環9の内周面に作用する被密封流体の圧力P)に応じたものとなり、被密封流体領域Sの圧力条件(圧力変動等)に拘わらず、常に、円弧状セグメント13,14の端面13a,14aが適正圧で衝合することになり、第1密封環9の内圧によってセグメント端面13a,14a間が開いて漏れを生じたり、逆に第1密封環9の緊縛力が必要以上に高くなって密封端面9aに歪が生じたりするようなことがない。   Further, in the second mechanical seal M2, as shown in FIG. 4, the sealed fluid enters between the opposed end surfaces 24g and 24h of the main body portion 24A of the first retainer member 24 and the sealing ring holding portion 24B, Due to the pressure (back pressure) P, an axial force that relatively displaces the pressing surface 24c toward the locking surface 25b acts on the sealing ring holding portion 24B, and the elastic member group 8a serving as the binding body 8 is axially moved. Will compress in the direction. The degree of compression of the elastic member group 8a by this axial force is proportional to the pressure P of the sealed fluid. Accordingly, a binding force of the first sealing ring 9 according to the pressure P of the fluid to be sealed is obtained, and the abutting force of the end faces 13a and 14a of the arc-shaped segments 13 and 14 is increased by the internal pressure (the first pressure of the first sealing ring 9). 1 and the pressure of the sealed fluid acting on the inner peripheral surface of the sealing ring 9). Regardless of the pressure conditions (pressure fluctuations, etc.) of the sealed fluid region S, the arcuate segments 13, 14 are always The end faces 13a and 14a will abut with an appropriate pressure, and the internal pressure of the first sealing ring 9 will cause the segment end faces 13a and 14a to open and leak, or conversely, the binding force of the first sealing ring 9 will be more than necessary. The distortion does not occur in the sealed end face 9a.

したがって、第1及び第2メカニカルシールM1,M2によれば、冒頭で述べたような摺り合わせ作業や馴染み運転を必要とすることなく、当該メカニカルシールM1,M2の組み立てやメンテナンスを容易且つ経済的に効率よく行うことができ、第1密封環9をその密封端面9aに歪を生じることなく適正な環状形態に緊縛保持して、良好なメカニカルシール機能を発揮することができる。   Therefore, according to the first and second mechanical seals M1 and M2, assembly and maintenance of the mechanical seals M1 and M2 can be performed easily and economically without the need for the sliding operation and the familiar operation described at the beginning. The first sealing ring 9 can be tightly held in an appropriate annular form without causing distortion in the sealed end face 9a, and a good mechanical seal function can be exhibited.

なお、本発明は上記した各実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の基本原理を逸脱しない範囲において、適宜に改良,変更することができる。   The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be appropriately improved and changed without departing from the basic principle of the present invention.

例えば、緊縛体8は、図1及び図2に示す如き単一の環状弾性部材で構成しても、図3及び図4に示す如き複数の環状弾性部材8aで構成しても、何れでもよく、更には、周方向の一箇所又は複数箇所が切離されたものでもよい。例えば、緊縛体8又は各弾性部材8aを、一箇所が切離されたC字形状部材又は複数の円弧状部材を環状にして装填空間28に装填させる。緊縛体8又は弾性部材8aの構成材としては、ゴム,合成樹脂等の非圧縮性弾性材を使用することが好ましいが、第1密封環9を弾性力により緊縛できるものであれば非圧縮性弾性材に限定されない。   For example, the binding body 8 may be composed of a single annular elastic member as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, or a plurality of annular elastic members 8a as shown in FIGS. Further, one or a plurality of places in the circumferential direction may be separated. For example, the binding body 8 or each elastic member 8a is loaded into the loading space 28 by making a C-shaped member or a plurality of arc-shaped members separated from each other into an annular shape. As a constituent material of the binding body 8 or the elastic member 8a, it is preferable to use an incompressible elastic material such as rubber or synthetic resin. However, if the first sealing ring 9 can be bound by an elastic force, the incompressible material can be used. It is not limited to an elastic material.

また、上記した例では、係止面25bを押圧面24cから離間する方向に漸次縮径する裁頭円錐状のカム面に構成したが、逆に、押圧面24cを係止面25bから離間する方向に漸次縮径する裁頭円錐状のカム面に構成しても、更には両面24c,25bの何れをもカム面に構成することも可能である。また、図6に示す如く、押圧面24c及び係止面25bの何れもカム面とせず、軸線に直交する非カム面としておくことも可能である。   In the example described above, the locking surface 25b is configured as a truncated cone-shaped cam surface that gradually decreases in the direction away from the pressing surface 24c. Conversely, the pressing surface 24c is separated from the locking surface 25b. Even if it is configured as a truncated conical cam surface that gradually decreases in diameter in the direction, it is also possible to configure both the surfaces 24c and 25b as cam surfaces. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, neither the pressing surface 24c nor the locking surface 25b can be a cam surface, and can be a non-cam surface orthogonal to the axis.

また、本発明は、第2密封環10も第1密封環9と同様に分割形とした分割型メカニカルシールにも適用することができる。   The present invention can also be applied to a split type mechanical seal in which the second seal ring 10 is divided like the first seal ring 9.
