Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of exhaust system sealing, and in particular relates to a "Y"-shaped stainless steel sealing pad at a flange. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous improvement of environmental protection requirements, higher requirements are placed on the reaction efficiency of the catalytic muffler assembly. Exhaust temperature is the main factor restricting catalytic efficiency. At present, the commonly used exhaust pipe flange gaskets are mostly composed of stainless steel coated graphite structure. This type of gasket will fail to seal due to high temperature ablation during the application of National VI models. As a result, it is impossible to meet the temperature required for the reaction of the catalytic muffler assembly, resulting in the risk of substandard emissions. . Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model aims to provide a stainless steel sealing gasket which has deformation capability and is resistant to high temperatures, so as to solve the above problems.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:
[0005] A "Y"-shaped stainless steel sealing gasket at a flange comprises a sealing gasket body, wherein the sealing gasket body is a circular ring structure with a "Y"-shaped cross section, one side of the sealing gasket body is a closed structure, and the other side of the sealing gasket body is an open structure.
[0006] During actual connection, due to the unique "Y" structure, the flange can squeeze the gasket, thereby improving the sealing effect.
[0007] Furthermore, the sealing gasket body includes an upper sealing gasket and a lower sealing gasket, the inner side of the upper sealing gasket is connected to the inner side of the lower sealing gasket, the outer side of the upper sealing gasket and the outer side of the lower sealing gasket are separated from each other, and the sealing gasket body is welded by two stamping parts of the upper sealing gasket and the lower sealing gasket.
[0008] Furthermore, the upper sealing gasket includes an upper connecting section, an upper transition section and an upper adjusting section, and the upper connecting section and the upper adjusting section are respectively connected to two ends of the upper transition section;
[0009] The lower sealing gasket includes a lower connecting section, a lower transition section and a lower adjusting section. The lower connecting section and the lower adjusting section are respectively connected to two ends of the lower transition section. The lower connecting section is provided with a welding hole, and the lower connecting section is connected to the upper connecting section.
[0010] An adjustment angle α is formed between the upper transition section and the lower transition section, and the adjustment angle α is in the range of 20°-40°.
[0011] The connecting section is responsible for connecting the upper sealing plate and the lower sealing plate, the adjusting section is responsible for achieving the sealing effect through flange extrusion, and the transition section connects the connecting section and the adjusting section on the one hand, and controls the angle of the adjustment angle α on the other hand. If the angle α is adjusted too small, the sealing effect will be poor, and if the angle α is adjusted too large, the bending will be large and easy to break.
[0012] Furthermore, the distance between the upper adjustment section and the lower adjustment section is 2.5 mm. The upper connection section is arranged in parallel with the lower connection section, and the upper adjustment section is arranged in parallel with the lower adjustment section, and a transition bend is used to connect them, and the inner side of the sealing gasket is embossed. A welding hole is reserved at the embossed part of the lower sealing gasket for fixing the upper and lower sealing gaskets.
[0013] Furthermore, the upper gasket has the same outer contour as the lower gasket, and the inner side of the gasket is embossed at three locations, and the embossed locations are spot welded. The wall thickness of the upper gasket is 0.5 mm. The gasket body is made of stainless steel, and the surface is coated with AlCrN, with a thickness of 4 μm-6 μm.
[0014] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0015] 1. The utility model adopts a "Y"-shaped structure to ensure good elastic potential energy after compression. During the flange fitting process, when the gasket is subjected to force, the outer opening is squeezed first, and the gasket is deformed. When the torque of the flange outer clamp decays later, the tightly compressed gasket will rebound, the deformation will decrease, and the gasket will play a sealing role.
[0016] 2. The feasibility of manufacturing is fully considered when designing the utility model. The whole is composed of two upper and lower sealing pads welded together. The inner side of the upper / lower sealing pads is embossed in three places, and a welding position is reserved for the lower sealing pad. The sheet metal structure is used to reduce mold investment in the production process and reduce production costs.
[0017] 3. The utility model adopts a "Y"-shaped structure to ensure a good rebound amount and get rid of the dependence on graphite materials in the early design.
[0018] 4. The outer surface of the utility model is coated with AlCrN with a thickness of 4μm-6μm, which meets the high temperature working environment above 650℃.
[0019] 5. The utility model has a small inner and large outer structure to ensure that the sealing surface is in close contact. After assembly, a good surface sealing structure is formed to meet the overall sealing requirements of the exhaust system pipeline. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0035] The sealing gasket body 1 is formed by welding two stamping parts, an upper sealing gasket 2 and a lower sealing gasket 3 .
[0036] The upper sealing gasket 2 includes an upper connecting section 23, an upper transition section 21 and an upper adjusting section 24, wherein the upper connecting section 23 and the upper adjusting section 24 are respectively connected to two ends of the upper transition section 21;
[0037] The lower sealing gasket 3 includes a lower connecting section 33, a lower transition section 31 and a lower adjusting section 34.

[0038] An adjustment angle α is formed between the upper transition section 21 and the lower transition section 31 , and the adjustment angle α is in the range of 20° to 40°.
[0039] The connecting section is responsible for connecting the upper sealing plate and the lower sealing plate, the adjusting section is responsible for achieving the sealing effect through extrusion of the flange 4, and the transition section connects the connecting section and the adjusting section on the one hand, and controls the angle of the adjustment angle α on the other hand. If the angle α is adjusted too small, the sealing effect will be poor, and if the angle α is adjusted too large, the bending will be large and easy to break.
[0040] Embodiment 3:
[0041] On the basis of Example 2, Figure 3 As shown, the maximum distance between the upper adjustment section 24 and the lower adjustment section 34 is 2.5 mm.

By utilizing the characteristics of metal rebound, the dependence on graphite materials in the early design is eliminated. The sealing failure caused by gasket ablation is solved, the sealing of the exhaust pipe is improved, and the emission target is effectively promoted.
