Definitions
- the invention relates to a U-ring seal and a method for producing such a U-ring seal.
- a trained as a shaft seal or rod seal U-ring seal with an annular sealing body and a nem support element is known.
- the sealing base body has a U-shaped cross-section in radial section with concentrically extending sealing portions, wherein the sealing portions define a groove together with a connecting portion extending between the sealing portions.
- the support element which holds the sealing portions under bias, formed as an annular spring.
- annular sealing element made of a fluorine-containing polymer material namely PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)
- PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
- PTFE is a chemical material that is chemically resistant to aggressive media.
- a metal spring element formed as a support element under bias in which case there is the disadvantage that the spring steel of the spring element in contact with aggressive Media is subject to corrosion. Therefore, it is already known from practice to coat as supporting elements, metallic spring elements of U-ring seals, in particular to gild, in order to protect them from corrosion. However, this is costly and time consuming.
- the present invention is based on the object, a novel U-ring seal and a method for producing such
- the or each support element is formed as an integral part of the sealing body.
- the or each support element by means of which the sealing sections of the sealing base body are held under prestress, is formed as an integral part of the sealing base body.
- the metallic spring element is eliminated.
- the or each support element consists of the thermoplastic material of the sealing base body, the thermoplastic material preferably being a fluorine-containing polymer material, in particular a PTFE material. Then, if the respective support element consists of the thermoplastic of the sealing body, this is resistant to aggressive media.
- the or each support member is formed as a curved support arc, which extends between the preferably concentric with each other extending sealing portions of the sealing body.
- the respective support arc has a thickness which is at most 5 °, preferably at most 4 °, particularly preferably at most 3 °, of the circumferential extent of the sealing base body.
- FIG. 1 shows a cross section through a first inventive U-ring seal.
- FIG. 2 a detail of the U-ring seal of FIG. 1; FIG.
- FIG. 3 shows a cross section through a second U-ring seal according to the invention
- FIG. 6 shows a detail of the U-ring seal of FIG. 5.
- the invention relates to a U-ring seal.
- the U-ring seal 10 has an annular sealing base body 1 1, which has seen in radial section a U-shaped cross-sectional contour.
- This sealing body 1 1 has preferably concentric with each other extending sealing portions 12, 13 which are connected via a connecting portion 14 on one side with each other.
- the sealing base body 1 1 is designed to be open, forming a groove 15.
- the sealing portions 12, 13 of the seal body 1 1 define together with the connecting portion 14 extending therebetween of the seal body 1 1 in the radial section U-shaped cross-sectional contour of the seal body 1 first Facing away from the groove 15, outer sealing surfaces 16, 17 of the sealing portions 12, 13 form sealing surfaces of the U-ring seal 10, which are pressed upon construction of a corresponding pressure in the groove 15 against sealing surfaces of a component, not shown, in which the U-ring seal 10 is received ,
- a radially inner sealing surface 16 of a radially inner sealing portion 12 is pressed radially inward
- a radially outer sealing surface 17 of a radially outer sealing portion 13 is pressed radially outward.
- the U-ring seal 10, namely the sealing portions 12, 13 of the seal body 1 1 of the U-ring seal 1 0 are held by support members 18 under bias, said support members 18 are formed as an integral part of the seal body 1 1.
- the sealing base body 1 1 and the integral support elements 18 thereof are made of a thermoplastic material, preferably made of a fluorine-containing polymer material, particularly preferably of a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene material).
- U-ring seal 10 can be used in particular when the same comes into contact with aggressive media.
- the design of the U-ring seal made of a PTFE material is preferred, it may alternatively be made of a POM material or a PA material.
- the sealing base body 1 1 and the integral support elements 18 thereof are always made of the same thermoplastic material.
- the support members 18 are formed as arched support arches extending at defined circumferential positions of the seal base 1 1 between the sealing portions 12, 13 of the seal body 1 1, wherein in Fig. 1 and 2, each of the support arches as off the groove 15 out arched support arc is formed and each extends approximately in the radial direction. It should be noted at this point that, in contrast to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, it is also possible that the support elements are formed as curved into the groove 15 support arches, which in turn extend in the radial direction. See the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6.
- arched support arches out of the groove 15 and, on the other hand, arched support arches into the groove are used as support elements 18 in combination with one another.
- the support members 18 extend in the radial direction, they are therefore not inclined relative to the radial direction.
- the respective support element 18 encloses an angle with the radial direction, ie is inclined relative to the radial direction, this angle being at most 45 °, preferably at most 30 °, particularly preferably at most 20 °. See the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4.
- the support elements 18 with the radial direction at an angle between 5 ° and 45 °, preferably an angle between 10 ° and 30 °, more preferably an angle between 1 0 ° and 20 °.
- a plurality of support elements 18 are distributed over the circumference of the seal body 1 1, wherein this distribution of the support members 18 in the circumferential direction seen equidistant (see the embodiment of FIGS. 1, 2 and Fig. 3, 4) or not equidistant (see the embodiment of FIG. 5, 6) may be.
- the respective support element 18 has a defined thickness, wherein this thickness is at most 5 °, particularly preferably at most 4 °, particularly preferably at most 3 °, of the circumferential extent of the sealing base body 10.
- this circumferential extent refers to the circumferential extension of the radially inner sealing section 12 or to the circumferential extent of the radially outer sealing section 13 of the sealing base body 11.
- the main body of the U-ring seal 10 from the annular sealing body 1 1 and the integral support elements 18 can be produced by compression molding, sintering or by 3D printing.
- the choice of the corresponding manufacturing method depends on the thermoplastic from which the sealing base 1 1 and the integral support elements 18 thereof consist. Then, when a PTFE material is used, the manufacturing method is preferably compression molding or sintering.
- the U-ring seal after the injection molding or SD printing in the region of the sealing surfaces 16, 17 of the sealing portions 12, 13 subjected to post-processing, in particular by turning to provide sealing surfaces with the required quality.
- the invention proposes for the first time a U-ring seal 10, wherein support elements 18, which serve the bias of the sealing portions 12, 13 of the seal body 1 1 of the U-ring seal 1 0, are an integral part of the seal body 1 1 and made of the same thermoplastic material as the seal body 1 1 are.
- Particularly preferred as the material is a PTFE material use, which can be easily and reliably processed in particular by compression molding or sintering. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
