The aforementioned bearing spacer sleeve assembly 8 is first described in detail below.
[0027] The following first combines Figure 3 The aforementioned bearing spacer sleeve assembly 8 includes a spacer sleeve 81 and deep groove ball bearings 82 fixedly arranged at the upper and lower ends of the sleeve. The outer side of the deep groove ball bearing 82 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the aforementioned single exhaust bearing seat 4, and the inner side thereof is tightly fitted with the outer edge surface of the coupling flange 3. The upper ends of the two deep groove ball bearings 82 are respectively fixed in the aforementioned first gaps 7 and 71 by two shaft retaining rings 83, and the two groups of deep groove ball bearings 82 are separated by the spacer sleeve 81. By setting the bearing spacer sleeve assembly 8, compared with the bearing sleeve fixedly arranged on the outer side of the coupling flange 3, the double-layer structure of the two shaft retaining rings 83 in the bearing spacer sleeve assembly 8 can effectively avoid the risk of the single exhaust bearing seat, the air intake cover and the bearing flying out of the coupling flange and injuring people after the failure of a single shaft retaining ring 83.
[0028] It is worth noting that the aforementioned gas path channel 2 includes a first channel 21 and a second channel 22.

[0033] During the assembly process, first install the valve core 10 with the sealing ring and then assemble it under the coupling flange 3. The coupling flange 3 is welded by the coupling 31 and the flange at the lower end. After infiltrating Loctite 290 at the weld to ensure air tightness, fix the coupling flange 3 on the top of the rotary joint support 1, and assemble the bearing spacer assembly 8, the single exhaust bearing seat 4 and the air inlet cover 5 in sequence. After completing the assembly, introduce 0.2MPa compressed air and the valve core 10 should move flexibly without jamming. After the test, use 0.6MPa air pressure to ensure that there is no air leakage at the sealing points of the rotary joint, and then maintain the pressure at 0.8MPa for 10 minutes. After ensuring that there is no air leakage at the rotary joint, apply an appropriate amount of Loctite 222 and assemble the muffler 6 at the exhaust port.
