Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a test bench for testing the performance of a mechanical seal, in particular to a test bench for testing the sealing performance in a hydraulic system, and belongs to the technical field of hydraulic sealing. Background Art
[0002] In the fields of hydraulic transmission systems, engineering machinery, and fluid power equipment, the reliability of mechanical seals directly impacts the operating efficiency and service life of hydraulic equipment. The traditional mechanical seal performance testing methods currently used in the hydraulic industry primarily rely on static pressure testing, while testing methods for complex operating conditions such as dynamic alternating pressure and oil-medium compatibility are still incomplete. Existing research has primarily focused on theoretical analysis and finite element simulation of sealing structures, lacking a test verification platform that matches the actual operating conditions of hydraulic systems (such as pulsating pressure shocks, oil temperature fluctuations, and shaft vibration). This results in significant deviations between simulation results and engineering applications. Traditional testing devices generally suffer from complex operating procedures, time-consuming specimen assembly and disassembly, and low loading accuracy. Furthermore, a single test can only test a single sealing structure, making it difficult to quickly compare and analyze seals of multiple specifications. Furthermore, the unique oil contamination control requirements of hydraulic equipment and the lack of real-time monitoring technology for seal interface wear further increase testing costs and data collection difficulties. In response to the above bottlenecks, there is an urgent need to develop an efficient and flexible mechanical seal test platform. Through modular design, it can realize rapid clamping of test pieces, integrate hydraulic dynamic loading system and multi-parameter synchronous acquisition function. While simulating real hydraulic working conditions, it supports parallel testing and performance comparison of different sealing structures under the same conditions, providing efficient technical support for the selection optimization and reliability evaluation of hydraulic equipment seals.
