Abstract

ABSTRACT

A seal for an elongated axially movable machine part, such as a piston or rod, having a wiper ring 2 supported in a first groove 1 radially open towards the machine part 4. The wiper ring is urged against the machine part by an O-ring 3 of rubber-elastic material, which abuts the radially outer surface of the first groove and rests in a second groove on the wiper ring. The wiper ring bears on the machine part along at least two circular seal edges 7.7', spaced apart in axial direction. The second groove opens radially outwards in the axial direction and provides a support surface 8 for the O-ring and axially overlaps the radial planes 9,9' containing the respective seal edges as a continuous surface.

SEA~ FOR ELONGATED ~XIALLY MOVABLE MACHINE PART

The present invention relates to a seal for a movable machine part, such as a piston or rod, comprising a wiper ring supported in a first groove radially open towards the relatively movable machine part, and an O-ring of rubber-elastic material, fitting in a second groove in the wiper ring and abutting against the radially outer surface of the first groove. The wiper ring touches the machine part along at least two circular seal edges, spaced apart in the axial direction. The second groove forms a radially outwardly opening support surEace for the O-ring.
A seal of this type is disclosed in DE-OS 37 38 988, in which the second groove is of trapezoidal shape and is configured so that the 0-ring is captured in the axial dlrection during use. It is thus subject to considerable deformatiGn. Such sealing arrangement ` consequently has less than satisfactory serviceability characteristics.
~ It is an object of the present invention to provide a seal;.~ for a machine part of long service life and good functional :
~ reliability.
, In the present disclosure the second groove for~ing a ~ ~ support surface extends in the axial direction over and beyond the -' ~ radial planes of all the seal edges as a continuous surface. The elasticity inherent in the O-ring can then be exploited in a particularly satisfactory manner and it is possible to reduce its elastic pre-stress, and achieve good sealing with comparatively little elastic deformation of the O-ring This delays the onset of fatigue pheno~ena and results in a greatly improved service life.
.1 The support surface can have a concavely curved profile ; which i~proves the relative mobility of the O-ring and permits it breathing or self adjusting relief movements between successive operating cycles. Local overloading of the O-ring is thus reduced or prevented. Particularly good results are obtained if the profile of ~-i the surface is evenly curved.

: "~
2~3~7 To obtain good relative mobility of the O--ring during use, it is advantageous that the profile have a radius of curvature greater than that of cross section of the 0-ring. Preferably the ratio of the radius of curvature of the profile of the support surface and the S radius of curvature of the 0-ring in toral section should be between 2:1 to 3:1.
The support surface can be exten~ed into the region of the axially outer defining surfaces of the wiper ring and optiona].ly, at least in the region between the radial planes of the seal edges, can have a flattened profile which can be configured to be substantially cylindrical.
Good sealing action for media under high pressure is obtained if the support surface is so inclined that a tangent at the region between the radial planes of the sealing edges in the axial direction toward the sealed space subtends with the axis an acute ~; angle A that yreferably is within the range of, and does not exceed, 5 to 20. The seal edge remote from the sealed space is thus sub~ected to a greater load during the pressure phase of operation in the sealed space than t~le seal edge closer to the sealed space which precedes it, and this prevents the development of over-pressure exceeding designed operating levels in the intervening space between , the seal edges.
More particularly, in accordance with the invention there is provided a seal for an elongated axially movable machine part extending ~rom a space under pressure to be sealed comprising, a wiper ring supported in a first annular groove open in radially inward direction toward the movable machine part, an 0-ring of rubber-elastic materialt bearing against the ~-~ wiper ring in a second groove formed in said wiper ring and abutting :::,.!
against a radially outer surface of the first groove, the wiper ring ~` touching the relatively movable machine part along at least two circular seal edge, spaced apart in axial direction of said machine part, the second groove opening axially outwardly in radial direction and defining a support surface for said 0-ring on said wiper ring, the :: .: . : , , ~

2~31~7 support surface axially overlapping radial planes (93 intersecting the seal edges (7) as a continuous surface, Embodiments of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein;
Figure 1 shows a side view in partial section of a rod seal embodying the present invention;
Figure 2 and Figure 3 show sections of embodiments of two differently configured wiper rings for substitution in the unit of Figure 1.
The rod seal shown in Figure 1 comprises a wiper ring 2, preferably of PTFE, supported in a first groove 1 open in the radially inward direction of a piston rod 4, and an O-ring 3 of elastomeric rubber material between the outer face 12 of the groo~e and the wiper ring. The O-ring 3 also fits in a second groove 13 in the wiper ring 2. The wiper ring 2 touches the piston rod along two circular seal edges 7 and 7' spaced apart in the axial direction. The associated radial planes of the seal edges 7,7' are respectively indicated at 9,9'.
'! The second groove 13 forms a continuous supporting surface 8 - 20 that extends in the axial direction and beyond the radial planes 9,9' of the seal edges 7,7' and beyond the radial planes of any additional . seal edges if more than two are provided in any particular instance.
Each of the seal edges 7,7' is formed by a pair of conical surfaces ` which intersect one another, and where that conical surface proximate ; 25 to the sealed space subtends a greater angle w}th the axis of the machine part and seal than does the other surface of the pair. The seal edges form part of sealing lips 6,6' which are separated from one another in the axial direction by an intervening space 5.
~: In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the support surface 8 is formed as an evenly curved surface. The radius of curvature is ~'~ some 2.5 times greater than the radius of curvature of the O-ring 3.
The support surface 8 extends to the axially outer surfaces 16,16' of ~ the wiper ring 2.

The wiper ring, whose half section is shown in Figure 2, differs from the embodiment described above in that the support surface 8 is not as greatly curved in the region 10 between the radial I planes 9,9' of the seal edges 7,7' as in the zones 17,18 that lie axially outside the region 10. The support surface 8 can have a somewhat flattened profile within the region 10 and can optionally be cylindrically configured.
~ The embodiment shown in Figure 3 differs from those earlier :~ described in that the support surface 8 is so inclined that a tangent 11 in the axial direction between the radial planes 9,9' of the seal edges 7,7' subtends an acute angle A with the axis on the sealed space side 15 that does not exceed 5 to 20 (preferably 18).
In the embodiment shown, this angle is 18 and enables good sealing of fluid under considerable pressure in space 15 over long periods of : lS time.
