Abstract

Abstract: In view of the problems of poor stability and large leakage of dynamic pressure non-contact mechanical seals in a specific working environment, through the analysis of the mechanical seal principles and end structure, based on the TRIZ theory, choose the "structure stability", "adaptability and versatility" as the improve elements, the "harmful emission" and "foreign harmful factors" as the deteriorate elements. The principle numbers of the invention are obtained from the contradiction matrix. According to the principles of the invention, a new type of streamline groove mechanical seal is designed. Through the technology of making groove on the end face, a fluid film with a certain stiffness is obtained, and the end face is sealed. Through improve the stability and adaptability of the mechanical seal operation, it can operate safely and stably in a specific working environment and meet the requirements of the seal.
