Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention provides a data visualization method for selecting an O-ring according to a rectangular sealing groove, and belongs to the field of O-ring selection methods. Background Art

[0002] When installing O-rings on pipe flanges or other sealing devices, the problem of choosing the right O-rings is involved. For some older equipment, the machining accuracy of the sealing groove is low, and the groove width and groove depth are not designed reasonably. In order to ensure the safety and reliability of the seal, it is necessary to carefully choose the right O-ring. The general method is to calculate the compression rate and filling rate of the O-ring to decide whether to use an O-ring with a certain cross-sectional diameter. However, sometimes the compression rate and filling rate cannot be perfectly satisfied at the same time, so it is necessary to calculate several O-rings with different cross-sectional diameters for comparison and selection, which increases the amount of calculation, and the data is not intuitive, which increases the difficulty of choosing O-rings. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a simple, fast and intuitive visual selection method to address the drawbacks of the current method of selecting O-rings according to sealing grooves, which has large calculation amount and non-intuitive data.

[0004] In order to realize the above technical features, the object of the present invention is achieved as follows: a data visualization method for selecting an O-ring according to a rectangular sealing groove, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:

[0005] Step 1: Establish a rectangular coordinate system;

[0006] Step 2: Determine the corresponding point of the O-ring on the rectangular coordinate system;

[0007] Step 3: Establish fill rate limit line;

[0008] Step 4: Establish the compression rate limit line.

[0009] The process of establishing the rectangular coordinate system in Step 1 is that the X-axis of the rectangular coordinate system is the groove width W of the sealing groove, and the Y-axis is the groove depth H of the sealing groove.

[0010] The specific method of Step 2 is to first convert the cross section of the O-ring into a rectangle of equal area. The area of ​​the converted rectangle is:

[0011]

[0012] Let Y = D o_ring ,but:

[0013]

[0014] Where: X, Y are the sides of the transformed rectangle; D o_ring A is the cross-sectional diameter of the O-ring; rect is the area of ​​the converted rectangle;

[0015] Point (X, Y) is the point with D o_ring The coordinates of the corresponding point of the O-ring with the cross-sectional diameter on the coordinate system.

[0016] The specific method of Step 3 is to derive the filling rate limit line according to the definition of filling rate, which is a hyperbola, that is:

[0017]

[0018] Among them, S groove =WH;

[0019] Where: f is the filling rate (%); W is the sealing groove width, and H is the sealing groove depth.

[0020] The specific method of Step 4 is to derive the compression rate limit line according to the definition of compression rate. The compression rate limit line is only related to the depth of the sealing groove, that is:

[0021]

[0022] Where: H is the depth of the sealing groove; s is the compression rate (%);

[0023] Finally, according to the above algorithm, a point and curve diagram of the O-ring, the filling rate limit line and the compression rate limit line is drawn, and the appropriate O-ring can be found intuitively using the diagram.

[0024] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. The diagram drawn by the method of the present invention can intuitively display the appropriate O-ring, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of selecting the O-ring, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the sealing equipment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
