DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the purpose and technical solution of the present invention clearly and completely described, and the advantages more clearly understood, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments, and are only used to explain the embodiments of the present invention, and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] See also Figures 1 to 6 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0030] Embodiment 1, an impact-resistant casing head sealing assembly, comprises: a casing body 1, a hanger 2 and a clamping flange 3.

[0031] Specifically, a casing groove 17 is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the casing body 1 and an outer casing 7 is fixedly installed. A casing groove 25 is opened at the lower end of the inner wall of the hanger 2 and an inner casing 8 is fixedly installed. The inner casing 8 is concentric with the outer casing 7 and a gap is left between the two. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, after the casing body 1 and the hanger 2 are installed and positioned, the outer casing 7 and the inner casing 8 can be positioned. The outer casing 7 and the casing body 1, as well as the inner casing 8 and the hanger 2 are fixed by threaded plugging, and the compressed rubber pad ensures the sealing of the two. A sealing structure is provided between the casing body 1 and the hanger 2 to seal the gap between the outer casing 7 and the inner casing 8. The sealing structure is as follows:

[0032] First, a lower pressure ring 12 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the inner wall of the sleeve body 1, and a fillet 13 is arranged at the connection between the lower pressure ring 12 and the sleeve body 1;

[0033] Secondly, the hanger 2 is arranged in the middle of the inner cavity of the casing body 1 and is concentric with the casing body 1. An annular boss 21 is fixedly arranged in the middle of the outer wall of the hanger 2. A flexible sealing pad 4 is arranged on the outer side of the annular boss 21. The middle of the inner wall of the flexible sealing pad 4 is in contact with the annular boss 21. The upper and lower sides of the flexible sealing pad 4 are bent toward the hanger 2 and fixed to the outer wall of the hanger 2. The inner cavity of the flexible sealing pad 4 is filled with hydraulic oil, such as Figure 2 As shown, a cavity is formed between the flexible sealing pad 4 and the outer side wall of the hanger 2, and the annular boss 21 divides the cavity into two parts, the annular boss 21 has a through hole 23 extending through the surface thereof and connecting the upper and lower inner cavities of the flexible sealing pad 4, and a plurality of through holes 23 are provided and distributed in an annular array. When the volume of the upper and lower inner cavities of the flexible sealing pad 4 changes, the hydraulic oil can pass through the through hole 23 and exchange in the upper and lower inner cavities. Therefore, the device can improve the sealing performance by increasing the degree of compression of the flexible sealing pad 4.

[0034] Furthermore, the clamping flange 3 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the casing body 1 by bolts, and an upper compression ring 31 is fixedly provided on the lower surface of the clamping flange 3, and a fillet 2 32 is provided at the connection between the upper compression ring 31 and the clamping flange 3, and the fillet 2 32 and the fillet 1 13 are respectively pressed on the upper and lower bending parts of the flexible sealing gasket 4. When the clamping flange 3 approaches the casing body 1 from top to bottom, the upper compression ring 31 gradually enters the gap between the casing body 1 and the hanger 2, and at this time, the fillet 2 32 corresponds to the upper side of the flexible sealing gasket 4. As the clamping flange 3 approaches the casing body 1, the fillet 2 32 can compress the upper side of the flexible sealing gasket 4, and at the same time, the lower side of the flexible sealing gasket 4 is pressed on the inner wall of the fillet 1 13, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the hanger 2 and the casing body 1 are sealed by the fit between the lower side of the flexible sealing pad 4 and the fillet 13, and the hanger 2 and the clamping flange 3 are sealed by the fit between the upper side of the flexible sealing pad 4 and the fillet 2 32, and at this time, the hydraulic oil inside the flexible sealing pad 4 is under pressure, thereby avoiding the contraction of the flexible sealing pad 4 and causing the overall sealing of the device to be reduced. In addition, when the device is impacted or vibrated, the hanger 2 can be displaced a small distance in the vertical direction for buffering, and with the displacement of the hanger 2, the hydraulic oil will pass through the inner cavity of the through hole 23 for up and down exchange. Based on the viscosity of the hydraulic oil itself and the small aperture of the through hole 23, the hydraulic oil can produce a damping effect on the movement of the hanger 2, thereby absorbing the impact and vibration of the device, thereby achieving buffering and shock absorption effects.

[0035] In order to improve the compression and fitting effect of the fillet 13 and the fillet 2 32 on the flexible sealing gasket 4, the present application also has hard pressure rings 41 bonded and fixed to the inner walls of the upper and lower bending parts of the flexible sealing gasket 4. The hard pressure ring 41 is made of metal material, and the cross-section of the hard pressure ring 41 is arc-shaped. The center angle and radius of the arcs of the hard pressure ring 41, the fillet 13 and the fillet 2 32 are consistent. Figure 5 As shown, the provision of the hard pressure ring 41 can improve the strength of the bending part of the flexible sealing gasket 4, and ensure that the flexible sealing gasket 4 fits more closely with the fillet 13, and the flexible sealing gasket 4 fits more closely with the fillet 2 32, without reducing the sealing performance due to local shrinkage deformation of the flexible sealing gasket 4.

[0036] In order to laterally compress the flexible sealing gasket 4, the present application also has an annular groove 22 on the outer wall of the annular boss 21, and the inner cavity of the annular groove 22 is provided with a side pressure ring 5 adapted thereto, and the middle part of the flexible sealing gasket 4 is located between the annular boss 21 and the side pressure ring 5 and is compressed by both. The cooperation of the side pressure ring 5 and the annular groove 22 can compress the flexible sealing gasket 4, ensuring that the annular boss 21 can separate the space between the flexible sealing gasket 4 and the hanger 2 into two parts, and the space of these two parts is only kept connected by the through hole 23.

[0037] In order to prevent the hanger 2 from shaking, the present application also has an annular groove 14 in the middle of the inner wall of the casing body 1, and a buffer 6 is provided in the inner cavity of the annular groove 14, and a limiting groove 51 corresponding to the buffer 6 is provided on the surface of the side pressure ring 5. When the hanger 2 is installed in the inner cavity of the casing body 1, the side pressure ring 5 can just correspond to the buffer 6, and the buffer 6 will support the side pressure ring 5 to prevent the hanger 2 from shaking in the horizontal direction. Chamfers 52 are provided on the upper and lower edges of the side pressure ring 5 to prevent the buffer 6 from obstructing the side pressure ring 5 and affecting the overall installation of the hanger 2.

[0038] In order to further improve the impact resistance of the device, the present application also has a buffer member 6 that is arranged in an annular structure and has a multi-segment "W"-shaped cross section. The buffer member 6 is made of a hard material that can undergo elastic deformation. A buffer pad 61 is bonded and fixed to the inner wall of the bending part of the buffer member 6. A deformation groove 62 is opened in the middle of the surface of the buffer pad 61. The deformation groove 62 is annular and has an arc-shaped cross section. Figure 6 As shown, the buffer 6 itself can undergo a certain degree of elastic deformation, and the provision of the buffer pad 61 and the deformation groove 62 can enhance the strength and elastic deformation capacity of the buffer 6, thereby improving the positioning effect of the buffer 6 on the side pressure ring 5, and after the buffer 6 is against the side pressure ring 5, it can absorb and reduce the impact and vibration transmitted from the hanger 2, thereby further improving the impact resistance of the device.

[0039] In order to fix the edge of the flexible sealing pad 4 to the hanger 2, the present application also has bonding grooves 24 on the upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the hanger 2. The upper and lower edges of the flexible sealing pad 4 are respectively inserted into the inner cavities of the two bonding grooves 24 and bonded and fixed thereto. The edge of the flexible sealing pad 4 is embedded in the inner cavity of the bonding groove 24, which can maintain a more stable connection with the hanger 2.

[0040] In order to buffer the vibration between the clamping flange 3 and the casing body 1, the present application also has a connecting flange 11 fixedly arranged at the upper end of the casing body 1, a ring groove 15 is opened on the surface of the connecting flange 11, and a ring gasket 16 is bonded and fixed to the inner cavity of the ring groove 15, and the ring gasket 16 is cushioned between the clamping flange 3 and the connecting flange 11 and is pressed downward by the clamping flange 3, such as Figure 4 As shown, the annular gasket 16 can buffer the vibration between the casing body 1 and the clamping flange 3 , and the annular gasket 16 can also improve the sealing between the casing body 1 and the clamping flange 3 .

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
