Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an oil and gas sealing structure, and in particular to an inflatable high-efficiency sealing structure applied to a gas cabinet and a preparation process thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, the conventional gas holder sealing structure is to fill the rubber outer skin with sponge or other fillers. However, in actual application, it is found that due to the presence of seams in the rubber outer skin of the ring structure, no matter how it is handled, after long-term use, oil and gas will inevitably penetrate through the seams and react with the sponge or other fillers filled inside, thereby affecting the sealing effect. For this reason, there is an urgent need for a sealing structure that uses an inflatable method to form a sealing filling effect to solve the above problem. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide an inflatable high-efficiency sealing structure and a preparation process thereof, which adopts an inflatable structure to replace conventional sponge filling, thereby avoiding the problem of oil and gas erosion.

[0004] The object of the present invention is achieved like this:

[0005] An inflatable, efficient sealing structure includes a sealing rubber belt located between the inner wall of a cabinet and the outer wall of a floating plate. The sealing rubber belt is an annular structure. The annular surface of the sealing rubber belt of the annular structure is recessed downward to form an annular groove for accommodating an airbag. The top of the groove wall of the annular groove of the sealing rubber belt is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the floating plate.

[0006] Therefore, the airbag includes a rubber inner tube with a cylindrical structure, and connecting flanges are installed on the two open ends of the rubber inner tube. The two ends of the rubber inner tube are connected by the connecting flanges to form an annular structure. The connecting flange is provided with a step inflation hole along its radial direction, and the large-diameter end of the step inflation hole faces inward, and the small-diameter end of the step inflation hole faces outward; and a one-way valve is embedded in the large-diameter end of the step inflation hole.

[0007] The present invention provides an inflatable high-efficiency sealing structure, wherein a pressure sensor is embedded in the small-diameter end of the step inflation hole.

[0008] A preparation process of an inflatable high-efficiency sealing structure, characterized in that the process steps are:

[0009] Step 1: Airbag preparation:

[0010] Step 1.1: After the rubber sheet is dragged under the hot pressing roller, wrap the rubber sheet around the hot pressing roller;

[0011] Step 1.2: Put the two connecting flanges onto the hot pressing roller from both ends, and press the two ends of the rubber sheet onto the flanges of the connecting flanges. Then tighten the rubber sheet so that it fits tightly on the hot pressing roller.

[0012] Step 1.3: Under the action of the oil cylinder, the upper arc-shaped pressing plate and the lower arc-shaped pressing plate respectively press the rubber sheet downward and upward onto the hot pressing roller, and the upper arc-shaped pressing plate and the lower arc-shaped pressing plate are aligned to form a complete cylindrical structure, and both ends of the arc-shaped surface of the upper arc-shaped pressing plate and the lower arc-shaped pressing plate are provided with arc-shaped grooves for the flange of the connecting flange to be embedded;

[0013] Step 1.4: The heat-conducting steam in the pipes in the hot pressing roller and the thermocouples in the upper and lower arc pressing plates are heated for two hours so that the connecting flange and the rubber plate are hot-pressed and vulcanized to form a whole;

[0014] Step 1.5: Trimming: Open the upper and lower arc-shaped pressing plates, cut off the residual material at the seam of the rubber inner tube formed after the rubber sheet is wound, and then rotate the rubber inner tube 90 degrees;

[0015] Step 1.6: Close the upper and lower arc-shaped pressing plates and continue heating for half an hour to vulcanize the seams of the rubber inner tube again.

[0016] Step 1.7: After opening the upper and lower arc-shaped pressure plates, pull out the rubber inner tube with the connecting flange. Then, drill holes axially on the connecting flange to form connecting bolt holes, and drill holes radially on the connecting flange to form stepped inflation holes. A one-way valve is embedded in the large end of the inner stepped inflation hole.

[0017] Step 1.8: Align the connecting flanges at both ends of the rubber inner tube to form a complete airbag.

[0018] Step 2: The annular surface of the sealing rubber belt of the annular structure is bent into a U-shaped groove and then inserted into the annular space between the inner wall of the cabinet and the outer wall of the floating plate;

[0019] Step 3: After the airbag prepared in step 1 is placed in the U-shaped groove, it is inflated through the step inflation hole, so that the airbag expands and drives the two sides of the sealing rubber belt to adhere to the inner wall of the cabinet and the outer wall of the floating plate respectively; then, the pressure sensor is inserted into the small-diameter end of the step inflation hole;

[0020] Step 4: The two side groove walls of the U-shaped groove of the annular sealing rubber belt are fixed to the top of the outer wall of the floating plate;

[0021] The present invention provides a preparation process for an inflatable high-efficiency sealing structure, in which a welding sealing process is performed between the top of a pressure sensor and the edge of a step inflation hole. Thus, once the rubber inner tube of the airbag leaks, the gas in the step inflation hole will be introduced into the rubber inner tube. At this time, the pressure sensor will send a detected air pressure reduction signal to a terminal server to remind maintenance.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] The present invention uses an inflatable structure to replace the conventional filling structure, thereby avoiding the erosion of the filler by oil and gas and ensuring the sealing effect. At the same time, the conventional inflatable structure makes the overall structure simpler and more convenient to assemble. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] Step 1.3: Under the action of the oil cylinder, the upper arc-shaped pressing plate 102 and the lower arc-shaped pressing plate 103 respectively press the rubber sheet 105 downward and upward onto the hot pressing roller 101. The upper arc-shaped pressing plate 102 and the lower arc-shaped pressing plate 103 are aligned to form a complete cylindrical structure. Both ends of the arc-shaped surface of the upper arc-shaped pressing plate 102 and the lower arc-shaped pressing plate 103 are provided with arc-shaped grooves for the flange of the connecting flange 4.2 to be inserted.

[0040] Step 1.4: The heat-conducting steam in the pipes of the hot pressing roller 101 and the thermocouples in the upper arc pressing plate 102 and the lower arc pressing plate 103 are heated for two hours so that the connecting flange 4.2 and the rubber plate 105 are hot-pressed and vulcanized to form a whole;

[0041] Step 1.5: Trimming: Open the upper arc-shaped pressing plate 102 and the lower arc-shaped pressing plate 103, cut away the residual material at the seam of the rubber inner tube 4.1 formed after the rubber sheet 105 is wound, and then rotate the rubber inner tube 4.1 90 degrees;
