The fixing of the fixing body 10 to the fixing part (not shown) is of the flange type, that is: the fixing body and the fixing parts are fixed on the flange plates, the flange pad is arranged between the two flange plates, and finally the two flange plates are tightly combined by 8 bolts which are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction, so that the fixing body and the fixing parts are fixed.
Similarly, the fixing method of the rotating body and the rotating part may be a flange type, a screw type, a pin type, or the like. And will not be described in detail herein.
Referring to fig. 1, in the present embodiment, the sealing member includes: 3 sealing members and a fixing member for fixing the 3 sealing members in the annular space are sequentially arranged along the axial direction.
It should be noted that 3 sealing members are structures which are independently separable from each other. In other embodiments of the present invention, the number of the sealing elements may be n, where n is greater than or equal to 2. The sealing elements are arranged to be mutually independent and separable, and the sealing rings can be increased, decreased and replaced according to the situation of the field, so that the flexibility of production and maintenance is improved, and the use cost is reduced.
Fig. 2A is a side view of a single one of the independently separable seals in the rotary joint shown in fig. 1. FIG. 2B is a top view of the O-ring of the seal shown in FIG. 2A. Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2A and 2B, the sealing member includes:
a wear ring 31, the outer side of which is formed with a groove;
and the O-shaped ring 32 is sleeved in the groove on the outer side of the wear-resisting ring.
Wherein, the wear-resisting ring 31 is made of self-lubricating material. The self-lubricating material can be engineering plastics, graphite, copper or copper alloy, related composite (mixed) materials and the like. By adopting the self-lubricating material, the medium without lubricating performance can be conveyed without designing a separate lubricating channel, and the structure is simpler. In addition, the O-ring 32 is made of a fluororubber material, and is elastic and corrosion resistant. Of course, the O-ring may be made of other elastic materials.
In this embodiment, the inner side of the wear-resistant ring is in interference fit with the insertion part at the front end of the rotating body, the interference magnitude is 0.2mm, and the inner diameter D of the O-ringO-INOuter diameter D of the wear ring grooveG-OUTThe diameter is 1mm smaller, so that the O-shaped ring has a contraction effect on the wear-resisting ring, the central position of the inner side of the wear-resisting ring is promoted to contract inwards, and the O-shaped ring is in a close fit state with the outer side of the insertion part at the relevant position. In this case, two or more wear rings can provide both a rotational support effect for the insert and no leakage effect between the two during the transport of the flowing medium.
As will be understood by those skilled in the art, based on the differences in the structure and material characteristics of the wear-resistant ring and the O-shaped ring, the pressure of the conveying medium and the diameter of the wear-resistant ring, the interference magnitude of the interference fit between the inner side of the wear-resistant ring and the insertion part at the front end of the rotating body is between 0.1 mm and 1mm, and the inner diameter of the O-shaped ring is smaller than the outer diameter of the circumferential groove at the outer side of the wear-resistant ring by 0.2mm and 2mm, similar effects can be produced, and will not be described herein again.
In addition, the outer diameter D of the whole sealing element formed by installing the O-shaped ring on the wear-resisting ringW-OUTOuter peripheral diameter D larger than installation spaceS-IN. The outer side of the O-shaped ring extends out of the abrasion-resistant ring groove and is compressed in an interference mode with the inner side of the annular space at the corresponding position, and the interference range is 0.2-2 mm.
It should be understood by those skilled in the art that although a groove is formed in the outer side of the wear-resistant ring and an O-ring is sleeved in the groove in the embodiment, in other embodiments of the present invention, m grooves may be formed in the outer side of the wear-resistant ring and a corresponding number of O-rings are sleeved, where m is greater than or equal to 2, which may achieve the same technical effect and is not described herein again.
