A liquid seal structure has a tapered seal land provided on an outer circumference of a rotation shaft with an outer circumference on a sealing liquid side being diametrally larger than an outer circumference opposite to the liquid side, a tapered seal lip in contact with the outer circumference of the tapered seal land, and a seal lip support member for supporting the tapered seal lip. As a result, even when liquid invades into a seal surface between the tapered seal land and the tapered seal lip, the liquid moves elevationally by a centrifugal force in accordance with rotation of the rotation shaft to be returned to the sealing liquid side on account of sealing by a tapered surface. Therefore, the liquid does not leak to a gas side, so that sealability can be secured for a long time to perform stable sealing.
