One end of conduit 43 is communicated with oiling agent storage box 41, and the other end is communicated with lubricant cavity 421.In the present embodiment, the quantity of conduit 43 and oiling agent storage box 41 is two, and two conduits 43 are communicated with both sides and two oiling agent storage boxes 41 of lubricant cavity 421 respectively.By increasing the quantity of conduit 43 to improve the speed of filling oiling agent 411.But the utility model is not limited in any way this.In the present embodiment, conduit 43 can adopt stainless steel to make.
In the first embodiment, bearing 22 is sliding bearing, and lubricant cavity 421 is formed by two seal rings 42 and bearing 22 and rotating shaft 21.Specifically, the upper and lower surface of lubricant cavity 421 is made up of respectively two seal rings 42, and the internal surface of lubricant cavity 421 is the outer surface of rotating shaft 21 necked part, and the outer surface of lubricant cavity 421 is the internal surface of bearing 22.Lubricant cavity 421 is cross sections is rings, and longitudinal section is rectangular ring-shaped cylinder.Oiling agent 411 is filled in lubricant cavity 421 to form lubricating film thus to reduce friction.In the first embodiment, oiling agent 411 is not containing the pure seawater of the impurity such as silt.
In the first embodiment, tidal current energy generating equipment 100 comprises water turbine 1, axle system 2, generator 3 and underwater shaft system and rotates protective gear 4.Under water turbine 1 is positioned at water surface P, the axial direction A of water turbine 1 is perpendicular to horizontal plane P.Axle system 2 comprises rotating shaft 21 and at least one bearing 22.Rotating shaft 21 wears water turbine 1.The sheathed rotating shaft 21 of at least one bearing 22.Underwater shaft system rotation protective gear 4 adopts structure as shown in Figure 1.
In practical application, the impeller of water turbine 1 is subject to the impact force of trend, thus rotates.Can be interference fit between rotating shaft 21 and water turbine 1, rotating shaft 21 is rotated with the rotation of water turbine 1.In the present embodiment, generator 3 also comprises gear-box 31, and the gear hole of the driving gear in one end of rotating shaft 21 and gear-box 31 is interference fit.The rotation of rotating shaft 21 drives the rotation of this gear, then by engaging each other between gear, mechanical energy is passed to generator 3 thus orders about generator 3 and generate electricity.Gear-box 31 plays the effect of transmitting kinetic energy and deceleration.
Because the impact force of trend to water turbine 1 is huge, seal ring 42 is subject to huge radial force for a long time, is easy to resiliently deformable occurs, thus causes no longer sealing between seal ring 42 and rotating shaft 21, namely there is space between seal ring 42 and rotating shaft 21.Be be arranged in lubricant cavity 421 because oiling agent 411 is original, after lubricant cavity 421 exists space, oiling agent 411 probably runs off, and meanwhile, the water of outside also can carry the impurity such as silt and pour in from space.
Below the underwater shaft system for marine tidal-current energy generating that introducing the present embodiment in detail provides rotates protective gear 4 and how to protect being positioned at undersurface axle system 2.
Because oiling agent storage box 41 is positioned on water surface P, and axle system 2 is positioned under water surface P, there is height difference therebetween.According to the formula of liquid pressure, pressure and the degree of depth (height between pressure point to liquid level) proportional relation.Be positioned at the oiling agent 411 of lubricant cavity 421 owing to being carried by the conduit 43 being communicated with oiling agent storage box 41, when density is the same, lubricant cavity 421 is greater than the pressure of outside, same depth of water place certainly with the pressure of conduit 43 connectivity part.Meanwhile, because liquid can transmit pressure, the internal pressure that seal ring 42 sealing place is subject to is greater than the external pressure that seal ring 42 sealing place is subject to certainly.Therefore, lubricant cavity 421 is in " micro positive pressure " state all the time.
In other words; even if sealing cannot be realized between bearing 22 and rotating shaft 21; namely there is space between seal ring 42 and rotating shaft 21; oiling agent 411 also constantly can flow in lubricant cavity 421 under differential pressure action from oiling agent storage box 41; then flow out to seal ring 42 from space; water with silt outside being arranged in also can not flow into lubricant cavity 421 from space, thus really realizes the protective action of shaft 2.
In the first embodiment, along the axis of rotating shaft 21, bearing 22 is provided with three.In practical application, conduit 43 also comprises joint 431, and by joint 431, conduit 43 can realize multichannel arrangement, thus total road that the lubricant cavity 421 in three bearings 22 can share a conduit 43 is communicated with common oiling agent storage box 41.But the utility model is not limited in any way this.

In reality uses, the underwater shaft system for marine tidal-current energy generating rotates protective gear 4 can also comprise alarm module (not shown), and described alarm module connects described detection module 45.When detecting module 45 and detecting that oiling agent 411 reduces, alarm module gives the alarm.
In the present embodiment, tidal current energy generating equipment 100 also comprises framework 5, and oiling agent storage box 41 is fixed on framework 5.In the present embodiment, framework 5 comprises inner gimbal 51 and external frame 52, and water turbine 1 is arranged in inner gimbal 51, and inner gimbal 51 is arranged in external frame 52 separably.
In practical application, can first water turbine 1 is fixed in inner gimbal 51, then multiple inner gimbal 51 is separately fixed in external frame 52, thus the modularization realizing water turbine 1 be installed and array-type distribution.Enormously simplify installation procedure, reduce the installation time, reduce installation difficulty in ocean.In addition, easily damage due to seal ring 42 and agingly will to change, needs keep in repair by traditional ocean power generating device in water.Such maintenance is very difficult and expense is huge.But, the module that inner gimbal 51 and water turbine 1 form can directly be taken out by tidal current energy generating equipment 100 of the present utility model from water, conveniently water turbine 1 and axle system 2 are repaired or replaced, realize the rapid-maintenance of tidal current energy generating equipment 100, greatly reduce maintenance cost.
