A self-pumping hydrodynamic mechanical seal includes a rotating ring (3) and a stationary ring (11). More than three sets of backward curved grooves (39) are provided on a seal face of the rotating ring (3), outlets of the backward curved grooves (39) are provided at an external diameter portion of the seal face of the rotating ring (3), and an inlet (31) connects with a seal chamber (1) through a duct (30) of the rotating ring (3) or the stationary ring (11). When the rotating ring (3) rotates, a medium in the backward curved grooves (39) is accelerated into a high-speed fluid; under a centrifugal force, the high-speed fluid moves to an external diameter side of the rotating ring (3), so as to be pumped into the seal chamber (1) and generates a low-pressure area at the inlets (31) of the backward curved grooves (39); the medium in the seal chamber (1) is driven by a pressure difference, so as to flow into the backward curved grooves (39) through the duct (30), for forming circulation of self-pumping. During pumping the high-speed fluid, a flow speed of the high-speed fluid is slowed and a pressure of the high-speed fluid is increased, as a flow sectional area of the backward curved grooves (39) is increased, so as to generate an opening force which separates the rotating ring (3) from the stationary ring (11). The seal has desirable capabilities of self-lubrication, self-flushing, solid particle interference resistance, and optimal sealing performance.
