This invention belongs to the field of flexible connection components for
parabolic trough collectors and the technology of solar thermal power generation. It discloses a flexible connection planar rotary joint for high-temperature
parabolic trough collectors, comprising: a shell, a first
bushing, four first
metal-edged wire-reinforced sealing rings, two second
metal-edged wire-reinforced sealing rings, a sealing ring support, a hollow shaft, a sealing ring pressure ring, a second
bushing, two anti-rotation pins, adjusting bolts, a threaded
flange, injectable soft sealing filler, and three
injection port sealing bolts. The shell serves as the base of the planar rotary joint, with three evenly distributed threaded injection ports on its circumference for connecting a one-way valve and a high-
pressure injection gun to add injectable soft filler. After the sealing material is injected, the injection threads on the shell are plugged using the sealing bolts on the injection ports. The
bushing is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the shell, and a first set of sealing rings and a second set of sealing rings are respectively arranged on both sides of the injectable soft filler sealing cavity. The anti-rotation pins prevent the second bushing from rotating under the
dry friction torque generated by the rotation of the hollow shaft.
