Abstract

Abstract:

The dynamic pressure mechanical seal stator needs the ability of axial sliding and angular swing. The O-ring in the sliding interface plays the role of sealing and compensation. The quality of its design is very important to the stable operation of the seal. Therefore, the finite element model of the fretting compensation structure was established, and the pre-compression amount of the two typical compensation structures of the O-ring integral groove and the split groove in the smooth micro compensation condition and the vibration disturbance micro compensation condition were analyzed respectively. The effects of medium pressure and wire diameter on the sealing performance and compensation characteristics of O-rings were tested and verified. The analysis results showed that the most important factors affecting the compensation performance of the static ring were the compression amount of the O-ring and the interface friction coefficient. The split groove compensation structure had better followability in the compensation process, more suitable for high-speed, and stronger vibration conditions. The friction force and the degree of fluctuation was smaller. The analysis results were verified by experiments, and the optimal compensation structure parameters of the O-ring were obtained. During the start-up stage of the dynamic pressure mechanical seal, the friction of the O-ring was the largest. Reducing the compression amount and improving the lubrication state of the compensation interface can effectively reduce the fluctuation of the friction force. To improve the compensation performance, good lubrication can effectively reduce the frictional force fluctuation by more than 20%. The research results provide a reference for the design of the micro compensation structure of the high-speed dynamic pressure mechanical seal.

摘要：

动压机械密封静环需要具备轴向滑移、角向摆动的能力，其中的O形圈在滑移界面起密封和补偿作用，其设计的优劣对密封的稳定运转至关重要。为此本文建立微动补偿结构的有限元模型，分别分析了O形圈整体槽和分体槽两种典型补偿结构在平滑微动补偿工况和受振动干扰微动补偿工况下预压缩量、介质压力以及线径大小对O形圈密封性能及补偿特性的影响，并进行了试验验证。分析结果表明：影响静环补偿性能最主要的因素是O形圈压缩量和界面摩擦系数；分体槽补偿结构在补偿过程具有更好的追随性，更适用于高速、强振动工况，表现为具有更小的摩擦力且波动程度小。通过试验验证了分析结果，得到了O形圈优化补偿结构参数，在动压机械密封启动阶段，O形圈摩擦力最大，减小压缩量、改善补偿界面润滑状态可以有效降低摩擦力的波动量提高补偿性能，其中良好的润滑能有效降低摩擦力波动量20%以上。研究结果为高速动压机械密封微动补偿结构设计提供了参考。
