The above-described split type outer cover 3 of the fully-closed rotary electric machine can reduce the weight and can be manufactured as compared with an integral type outer cover that covers the entire main body of the rotary electric machine. It is also used in large, fully-closed rotating electrical machines due to the small number of man-hours. By the way, the split type outer cover 3 of a large-sized rotating electric machine is usually manufactured by a can-making operation by reinforcing a steel plate having a thickness of 4.5 to 6 mm with a beam or the like. However, the surface on which the packing ring 6 is attached may not be perpendicular to the rotary shaft 1 due to the deformation of the outer cover 3 due to the vibration during operation, and the seal between the packing ring 6 and the rotary shaft 1 may be incomplete. There is a problem that it will be enough. Further, as described above, since the gap between the packing ring 6 and the rotary shaft 1 is 0.2 mm or less, when the outer cover 3 is deformed, the packing ring is attached to the outer cover 3 to ensure this dimension. There is also a problem that the work of installing 6 is difficult and the installation work requires a lot of time.

According to the present invention, the packing ring, which constitutes the shaft sealing device for sealing between the split type outer cover of the fully-closed rotary electric machine and the rotary shaft, is conventionally installed on the outer cover. , Even if there is mechanical vibration during the operation of the rotating electric machine, the influence of the vibration is small and it is supported by a fixed portion outside the machine that constitutes the rotating electric machine, so that the mechanical strength of the packing ring described above is increased. The deformation due to vibration can be eliminated, and the outer cover can be installed accurately perpendicular to the rotation axis without being affected by the deformation at the time of manufacturing the conventional outer cover. Further, in addition to the above-mentioned packing ring support structure, by inserting and arranging an elastic packing capable of sufficiently following and absorbing the deformation of the outer cover between the outer cover and the packing ring, Even if the deformation occurs, the close contact between the outer cover and the packing ring is maintained, so that the seal between them can be secured.

As described above, according to the present invention, a shaft sealing device for a fully closed rotary electric machine, particularly a shaft sealing device for sealing between a split type outer cover and a rotary shaft, constitutes the shaft sealing device. The packing ring is supported by a fixed part such as a bearing stand that holds the bearing or a base that holds and fixes the main body of the rotating electrical machine, and the packing ring is provided with a rubber-like elastically deformable packing. The cover is in close contact with the cover. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain a shaft sealing device that can seal the rotating shafts even when the outer cover is vibrated or deformed. In addition, because the structure that fixes the packing ring to the outer cover is not adopted, the number of manufacturing steps is less than that of the conventional configuration, which required a lot of time to attach the packing ring due to deformation of the outer cover. It can be reduced and can be manufactured more economically.
