Effect of Lubricating Fluid Film on the Deformation of Spiral Groove Sealing Ring under Thermal Coupling
Taking the dynamic and static ring of the spiral groove mechanical seal as the research object,the three-dimensional sealing ring model was first established in Solidworks,and then it was imported into the Static Structural field of ANSYS-Workbench for thermal-mechanical cou-pling simulation calculation,and the deformation of the two rings under the coupling effect of liquid film force and environmental heat was studied.The end face of the dynamic ring is discontinuous due to the micro-grooves,the end face structure of the static ring is continuous,there is no stress concentration at the middle diameter,and the stress at the inner and outer diameter edges is large due to the forced restraint and contact stress.The deformation of the dynamic and static rings increases linearly with the increase of pressure,and the sealing ring material is always in the linear elas-tic stage,and the material is not sensitive to the thermal effect,and the deformation caused by mechanical stress plays a leading role.
