Description

Novel wheel hub bearing unit seal assembly
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of sealing device, particularly a kind of novel wheel hub bearing unit seal assembly.
Background technology
Because the hub bearing of automobile has very high requirement for durability and reliability, except avoiding automobile bearing from going out Beyond existing raceway fatigue failure, hub bearing seal fails are also relatively common failure mode, frequently can lead to the external world The pollutants such as silt, dust and steam are invaded in bearing, bearing is produced abnormal sound, are accelerated the abrasion of raceway groove and steel ball, are made steel There is fatigue flake in ball, channel surface, and internal grease is revealed laterally, causes insufficient lubrication, influences life of product, if grease is let out Drain on brake disc or brake drum, its stopping power can be caused to decline and fail, consequence is very serious.
Chinese patent bulletin text CN107044488A discloses a kind of new hub-bearing unit seal assembly, its On the basis of existing seal assembly, rubber bumps are increased newly and have not contacted lip to reduce the possibility of external foreign matter intrusion bearing Property, but still exist and seal the problem of unreal, main cause is that water still can be flowed near lip along seal assembly And flowed into from gap in lip, although the rubber components that the technical scheme of the patent application reduces at sealing can with abnormal contact Energy property, but can not effectively handle the infiltration problem for remaining in water on seal assembly.
The content of the invention
The technical problems to be solved by the invention are to provide a kind of new seal component architecture and set-up mode, so as to avoid Outside water is flowed near lip along seal, and in time can be discharged the water of entrance;Secondly, the structure and setting side Formula can automatically adjust the relation of draining and sealing according to lateral load size.
Technical scheme is used by the present invention solves above-mentioned technical problem:
A kind of novel wheel hub bearing unit seal assembly, its structure include static skeleton and the setting being arranged on outer ring Rotation skeleton on ring flange, raceway is formed between the outer ring and ring flange, cavity and space, institute are formed on the outside of the raceway State the setting of rotation skeleton and be provided with water dumping lip, the water dumping lip on skeleton close to the position of raceway, described rotate in the cavities Mouth autorotation skeleton is obliquely installed to the lateral direction of outer ring and is engaged with static skeleton;The rotation skeleton, water dumping lip Raceway is isolated from the outside with static skeleton, the cavity rotated on the outside of skeleton, water dumping lip and static skeleton forms water storage Chamber.Set by the seal assembly of the structure, muddy water initially enters storage chamber without adhering to after entering hub-bearing unit On water dumping lip, flowed to so as to avoid water along seal near lip, and water dumping lip rotating through in bearing unit Journey can utilize the effect of centrifugal force when rotating to play the effect of water dumping, the water in storage chamber is arranged from hub-bearing unit Go out.
Further, the skeleton that rotates is provided with the inner fovea part extended to raceway.Indent in the middle part of skeleton is rotated to set, can To create more water storage spaces, so as to which the space of outside cavity is fully utilized.
Preferably, the outer ring is inclined plane close to the inner surface of ring flange, the inner surface inclines from space to raceway Tiltedly taper into the cross-sectional volume of storage chamber, the static skeleton presses close to inclined plane setting.Ring flange, which is arranged to inclined plane, to be made Water is easier to discharge out of storage chamber, and angle is smaller so as to reducing rotational resistance between water dumping lip and static skeleton.
Further, the static skeleton is packaged on the outer surface, end and inner surface of outer ring, on the outside of the end Static skeleton is provided with first projection in L-shaped section, and first projection is prolonged to be arranged to annular and form draining on the outside of end Groove.The water for enabling to enter rhone by the first raised setting is discharged from below by gravity along rhone, so as to reduce into Enter the water of storage chamber.
Further, between ring flange there is gap in first projection in its natural state, and the gap is convex first Rise and diminish when being in mated condition with ring flange.First projection does not contact when lateral load is small with ring flange, so as to subtract Slight drag, and in this condition water enter storage chamber possibility it is smaller, gap makes the water in storage chamber effectively to pass through centrifugation Power effect discharge;When lateral load is big, water is easier into storage chamber and more than the speed of centrifugal force discharge, therefore between reduction Gap size or eliminate the gap make water enter storage chamber possibility further reduce.
Preferably, the static skeleton on the outside of the outer surface is provided with the second projection.Resistance is played in second raised setting The outside muddy water of gear flows directly into the effect of storage chamber from upside.
Preferably, being additionally provided with the oily lip of gear on the rotation skeleton, the oily lip of gear is bending structure, described interior The static skeleton end of outer side surface is connected with bending part, and the bending part is engaged with keeping off oily lip.Prevent internal grease from leaking.
Rotated preferably, the water dumping lip is connected to by rubber parts on skeleton, the rubber parts is wrapped in rotation The skeleton side adjacent with storage chamber.Muddy water in storage chamber may produce corrosion to rotating skeleton, pass through rubber parts anti-package Wrap up in and play a part of protection rotation skeleton.
The present invention compared with the existing technology has advantages below and effect:Set by the seal assembly of the present invention, muddy water Storage chamber is initially entered without being adhered on water dumping lip after into hub-bearing unit, so as to avoid water along sealing Part is flowed near lip, and water dumping lip can utilize the effect of centrifugal force when rotating to play in the rotary course of bearing unit The effect of water dumping, the water in storage chamber is set to be discharged from hub-bearing unit.Rotate indent in the middle part of skeleton to set, can create More water storage spaces, so as to which the space of outside cavity is fully utilized.Ring flange be arranged to inclined plane make water be easier from Discharge in storage chamber, and angle is smaller so as to reducing rotational resistance between water dumping lip and static skeleton.Pass through setting for the first projection Putting enables the water into rhone to be discharged from below along rhone by gravity, so as to reduce the water into storage chamber.First is convex Rise and do not contacted when lateral load is small with ring flange, so as to reduce resistance, and in this condition water enter storage chamber can Energy property is smaller, and gap makes the water in storage chamber effectively can be discharged by centrifugal action;When lateral load is big, water be easier into Enter storage chamber and more than centrifugal force discharge speed, therefore reduce gap length or eliminate the gap make water enter storage chamber can Energy property further reduces.Second raised setting is played a part of stopping that outside muddy water flows directly into storage chamber from upside and keeps off oil Lip plays a part of preventing grease from leaking.Setting is wrapped up in by rubber parts anti-package and plays a part of protection rotation skeleton, so as to prolong The life-span of long seal.
