A segment seal is configured to seal an annular clearance between a housing and a rotary shaft in a state in which a pair of seal rings are attached in an unrotatable state between one end portion of the housing and a support member attached to the housing so as to be opposite to the one end portion in an axial direction. The segment seal includes an anti-rotation member placed not to rotate relative to the housing or the support member, provided with a pair of raised portions fitted to the pair of seal rings to prevent rotation of the pair of seal rings, and configured such that at least one of the raised portions has a shape fittable only to either one of the seal rings.
1. A segment seal for sealing an annular clearance between a housing and a rotary shaft in a state in which a pair of seal rings is attached in an unrotatable state between one end portion of the housing and a support member attached to the housing so as to be opposite to the one of end portion in an axial direction, comprising:
an anti-rotation member placed not to rotate relative to the housing or the support member, provided with a pair of raised portions or a pair of recessed portions fitted to the pair of seal rings, respectively, to prevent rotation of the pair of seal rings, and configured such that at least one of the raised portions or at least one of the recessed portions has a shape fittable only to either one of the seal rings, wherein
the anti-rotation member is interposed between the pair of seal rings, and comprises an annular plate and a pair of keys protruding from both surfaces of the annular plate and having different shapes, respectively,
the housing is provided with a keyway having one of the keys fitted therein, and
the keyway of the housing has a shape fittable only to either one of the keys of the anti-rotation member.
2. The segment seal according to claim 1 , wherein
each of the raised portions is formed by part of each of the keys.
3. The segment seal according to claim 2 , wherein
the keys are arranged with a same phase in a circumferential direction on both surfaces of the annular plate.
4. The segment seal according to claim 2 , wherein
one of the keys on a side of the one end portion of the housing is smaller than one of the keys on a side of the support member.
5. The segment seal according to claim 2 , wherein
the support member has a keyway in which one of the keys of the anti-rotation member protruding toward the support member is fitted.
6. The segment seal according to claim 1 , wherein
the keys are arranged with a same phase in a circumferential direction on both surfaces of the annular plate.
7. The segment seal according to claim 6 , wherein
one of the keys on a side of the one end portion of the housing is smaller than one of the keys on a side of the support member.
8. The segment seal according to claim 6 , wherein
the support member has a keyway in which one of the keys of the anti-rotation member protruding toward the support member is fitted.
9. The segment seal according to claim 1 , wherein
one of the keys on a side of the one end portion of the housing is smaller than one of the keys on a side of the support member.
10. The segment seal according to claim 9 , wherein
the support member has a keyway in which one of the keys of the anti-rotation member protruding toward the support member is fitted.
11. The segment seal according to claim 1 , wherein
the support member has a keyway in which one of the keys of the anti-rotation member protruding toward the support member is fitted.
