Description
回転軸とハウジングとの間の環状隙間を封止し、前記ハウジング内を密封対象流体が密封される流体側と大気側とに分けるメカニカルシールであって、
前記回転軸と共に回転する回転環と、
前記ハウジングに対して固定され、前記回転環よりも前記回転軸の軸線方向の前記大気側に設けられる固定環と、
前記回転軸の外周面に内周面が固定される筒状の軸固定部と、前記軸固定部の端部のうち前記軸線方向の前記流体側の端部から径方向外側に向かって延びるフランジ部と、前記回転環を保持する回転環保持部と、を有する環状のスリーブと、
前記回転環と前記スリーブとの間の環状隙間を封止する環状の第1シール部材と、
前記ハウジングの内周面に外周面が固定される筒状のハウジング固定部と、前記ハウジング固定部の端部のうち前記軸線方向の前記大気側の端部から径方向内側に向かって延びるフランジ部と、前記フランジ部の径方向内側の端部から軸線方向における前記流体側に延びて前記固定環を保持する固定環保持部と、を有する環状のカートリッジと、
前記ハウジング固定部の内部に流入した密封対象流体の液圧を前記軸線方向の前記大気側から受けて該液圧を前記固定環に伝える受圧部を有し、前記固定環と前記固定環保持部との間の環状隙間を封止する環状の第2シール部材と、
を備え、
前記回転環は、前記軸線方向の前記大気側の端面において前記固定環と摺動する摺動面を有する摺動部と、前記摺動部の径方向外側の端部から前記軸線方向の前記流体側に延びて前記回転環保持部によって保持される被保持部とを備え、
前記スリーブに対して固定して、又は一体に設けられ、前記スリーブのフランジ部と前記被保持部とで形成される空間に流入した密封対象流体の液圧を前記軸線方向の前記流体側から受ける第1シール部材から圧力を受ける環状の圧力受け部材を備えることを特徴とする。
一方、スリーブのフランジ部と回転環の被保持部とで形成される空間に流入した密封対象流体の液圧により、第1シール部材は軸線方向の密封流体側から大気側に向かう方向に力を受ける。
ここで、圧力受け部材がスリーブに対して固定して、又は一体に設けられており、第1シール部材が液圧を受けることにより、圧力受け部材が第1シール部材から力を受ける。そのため、密封対象流体の液圧により、第1シール部材が軸線方向の流体側から大気側に向かう方向に受けた力は、回転環に伝わらない。
このため、密封対象流体の液圧により軸線方向の流体側から大気側へ前記回転環が前記固定環を押す力は、摺動面の最大径と回転環の被保持部の内径間の円環状の面積分にしか働かない。したがって、密封対象流体の液圧が大きくなった場合であっても、回転環が固定環を押す力が過度に大きくなることを抑制することができる。
図1~5を参照して、本発明の実施例に係るメカニカルシールについて説明する。
まず、図1を参照して、本発明の実施例に係るメカニカルシール100の適用例を説明する。図1は、本発明が適用される液体ポンプとしてのウォーターポンプ10を示す模式的断面図である。図1に示すように、ウォーターポンプ10の筐体をなす筒状のウォータポンプハウジング(以下、単にハウジングという)300には、回転軸としてのシャフト200がベアリング13を介して回転自在に支承されている。このシャフト200の図1中左端にはインペラ14が固設され、図1中右端にはプーリー18が固設されて図示しない外部駆動源より駆動力を得ている。ハウジング300とシャフト200との間に設けられるメカニカルシール100によって、ベアリング13が位置する大気室としてのベアリング室16(大気(A)側)とインペラ14が位置する液室としてのポンプ室17(密封対象流体(F)側)とが区画されている。ウォーターポンプ10は、インペラ14の回転によりポンプ室17に満たされる冷却水を吐出して外部駆動源を冷却する。
<メカニカルシールの構成>
図2、図3を参照して、本発明の実施例1に係るメカニカルシールについて説明する。図2は、本発明の実施例1に係るメカニカルシールの装着状態を示す模式的断面図である。図3は、スリーブとメイティングリングとの係合について説明する図であって、シャフトの軸線方向(以下、単に軸線方向という)から見た断面図である。
次に、図2を参照して実施例1のメカニカルシールの優れた点について説明する。ここで、メイティングリング120の端面120aとシールリング110の端面110aのうちそれらが互いに摺動する部分を摺動面、摺動面の最大径を摺動径R1と定義する。また、図2に示すように、メイティングリング120の被保持部122の内周径R2、ゴムベローズ170の外径の最小径R3と定義する。
次に、図4を参照して、本発明の実施例2に係るメカニカルシールについて説明する。図4は、本発明の実施例2に係るメカニカルシールの装着状態を示す模式的断面図である。実施例2においては、第1シール部材の構成が異なることを除いては、実施例1と同様であるため、同一の構成については同一の符号を用いてその説明は省略する。
次に、図5を参照して、本発明の実施例3に係るメカニカルシールについて説明する。図5は、本発明の実施例3に係るメカニカルシールの装着状態を示す模式的断面図である。実施例3においては、スリーブ、圧力受け部材としてのホルダーの構成が異なることを除いては、実施例1と同様であるため、同一の構成については同一の符号を用いてその説明は省略する。
