TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of marine, river transport carrier upper rotating platform, ball machine and other relative rotating equipment, and particularly relates to a three-stage waterproof structure for marine rotating platform in narrow space and multi-level surge protection. BACKGROUND
[0002] Marine, river transport carrier upper rotating platform, ball machine and other relative rotating equipment often have waterproof sealing requirements, so as to isolate the equipment from seawater or river water corrosion and ensure that the equipment can complete its functions through rotation.
[0003] In order to meet the requirements of use on the sea or river, a waterproof sealing device is usually added to the relative rotating part. This device is roughly divided into two categories. One can only prevent rain from entering from top to bottom. The other can prevent seawater or river water from entering from bottom to top due to the rebound of the deck or other flat structures on the ship caused by the impact of seawater or river water. The limitation of the first type is that the device must be installed high to prevent seawater or river water from washing the equipment when it impacts the deck. The second type uses a sealing ring and shaft friction to prevent seawater or river water from entering the interior. However, this method often has a large friction or requires a large installation space, resulting in a large power loss of the equipment to overcome the additional friction, the selection of a large power drive motor, and a large equipment size. SUMMARY
[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a three-stage waterproof structure for marine rotating platform in narrow space and multi-level surge protection, which adopts a multi-level waterproof structure to achieve waterproof sealing and reduce the installation space of the rotating platform.
[0005] The present application is achieved by the following technical solutions:
[0006] A three-stage waterproof structure for marine rotating platform in narrow space and multi-level surge protection, the marine rotating platform includes an azimuth flange and an azimuth shell. The disk surface of the azimuth flange is located on the upper end surface of the azimuth shell, and a gap is formed between the outermost rings of the two components.
[0007] The three-stage waterproof structure is arranged in the gap between the azimuth flange and the azimuth shell, and includes a slice, a graphite ring, a friction ring, annular grooves a and b on the azimuth shell, annular bosses a and b on the azimuth flange, and an annular step.
[0008] The slice is in the form of a circular ring and is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the annular groove a of the azimuth shell. The lower end surface of the annular boss a is located on the upper end surface of the slice.
[0009] The annular groove a is located outside the annular groove b, and the annular boss a is located outside the annular boss b; the annular boss b is located in the annular groove a;
[0010] The lower end surface of the azimuth flange disc is machined with an annular step, which is located inside the gap; the outer circumferential surface of the annular step, the inner circumferential surface of the annular boss b, the lower end surface of the azimuth flange disc and the upper end surface of the annular boss b of the azimuth housing form a ring-shaped space; the friction ring is in a ring-shaped structure and is installed in the ring-shaped space;
[0011] The graphite ring is installed in the annular groove b and is pressed against the lower surface of the friction ring.
[0012] Further, the three-level waterproof structure further comprises an O-ring; the O-ring is installed in the annular groove b and is located at the bottom of the graphite ring, and there is no connection relationship between the graphite ring and the O-ring; the material of the O-ring is silica gel material.
[0013] Further, a steel ring is installed between the graphite ring and the O-ring.
[0014] The graphite ring is fixed to the upper end surface of the steel ring, and the steel ring is placed above the O-ring.
[0015] Further, the distance between the inner wall surface of the annular groove b and the outer wall surfaces of the two sides of the graphite ring is 0.02mm to 0.05mm.
[0016] Further, the material of the slice is polytetrafluoroethylene.

The three-level waterproof structure can reduce the impact of seawater through the slice, further block the water through the height difference between the ring-shaped convex b and the ring-shaped groove a, and finally block the remaining water through the sliding friction between the graphite ring and the friction ring. The graphite ring has natural lubricating property, can reduce the friction, and can improve the waterproof effect. The three-level waterproof structure has small and constant friction, can reduce the power consumption of the motor, can reduce the volume of the motor, and can reduce the overall volume of the equipment and the occupied space of the equipment.

[0028] The slice 7 is circular ring, the inner circumferential surface of the slice 7 is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the annular boss of the azimuth housing 8, and is located between the lower end surface of the azimuth flange 3 and the upper end surface of the azimuth housing 8; and in the natural state, the lower surface of the slice 7 is attached to the upper end surface of the azimuth housing 8; when subjected to the impact force of the surge, the upper surface of the slice 7 is pressed against the lower end surface of the annular boss a; in the embodiment, the material of the slice 7 is selected to be polytetrafluoroethylene, because polytetrafluoroethylene has self-lubricating property and can reduce friction;
[0029] The annular groove b is sequentially provided with an O-ring 6, a steel ring 10 and a graphite ring 5 from bottom to top; the graphite ring 5 is pressed against the lower surface of the friction ring 4 for waterproof sealing, the graphite ring 5 can reduce friction due to its natural lubricating property, and the graphite material can become brighter with more grinding, which can improve the waterproof effect; the distance between the two inner wall surfaces of the annular groove b and the outer wall surfaces on both sides of the graphite ring 5 needs to satisfy 0.02mm to 0.05mm, that is, a small gap is formed between the two, which can hinder the entry of water; the graphite ring 5 is fixed on the upper end surface of the steel ring 10 by adhesive, and the steel ring 10 can support the graphite ring 5; the steel ring 10 is placed above the O-ring 6, and there is no connection relationship between the two; in the embodiment, the O-ring 6 is made of silica gel, and the silica gel is elastically deformed to make the graphite ring 5 and the friction ring 4 tightly contact, so that the waterproof sealing property can be guaranteed even if the graphite ring 5 is worn out;

[0032] The first level waterproof structure of the method comprises the slice 7 and the annular boss a; when the surge of seawater or river water gives an impact from bottom to top, the slice 7 will move upward along the impact force from bottom to top, and the upper surface of the slice 7 will be tightly attached to the lower end surface of the annular boss a, so that the impact of the surge can be prevented, and part of the water can be blocked from entering the next level; when the surge disappears, the upper surface of the slice 7 is separated from the lower end surface of the annular boss a, and part of the water passing through the first level waterproof structure will flow out along the upper surface of the slice 7, so that the water is prevented from remaining in the gap; at this time, the impact force of the surge has been reduced, but part of the water successfully passes through the first level waterproof structure and enters the second level waterproof structure;
[0033] The second level waterproof structure of the method is a water blocking labyrinth, comprising a ring-shaped convex platform b and a ring-shaped concave groove a, the height difference between the ring-shaped convex platform b and the ring-shaped concave groove a slows down the impact pressure of the secondary part of water and blocks the secondary part of water; at this time, a small part of water still successfully passes through the second level waterproof structure and enters the third level waterproof structure;
[0034] The third level waterproof structure of the method comprises a graphite ring 5 and a friction ring 4; the upper end surface of the graphite ring 5 is in contact with the lower end surface of the friction ring 4, the friction ring 4 rotates along with the rotation of the azimuth flange plate 3, and the remaining small part of water is completely blocked from entering through the tiny gap on both sides of the graphite ring 5 and the sliding friction of the friction ring 4.
