[0056] Research has found the shortcomings of the prior art: traditional sealing devices often set a sealing ring in the gap between the outer wall of the transmission shaft and the gear box to prevent the grease in the gear box from overflowing outward. However, the grease in the gear box moves along the transmission shaft to the side of the sealing ring close to the inside of the gear box, causing some of the grease to overflow outward; moreover, the transmission shaft will shake during high-speed rotation. At this time, the traditional sealing ring structure cannot effectively seal the gap between the outer wall of the transmission shaft and the gear box.
[0057] Because how to solve the problem of grease leakage along the outer wall of the transmission shaft to the outside of the gear box is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.
[0058] The defects existing in the above solutions are the results obtained by the inventor after practice and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed by the present invention in this article for the above problems should be the contributions made by the inventor to the present invention during the disclosure process.
[0059] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.
[0060] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0061] The bidirectional oil seal of this embodiment is used in the field of new energy vehicles, and is arranged in the gap between the outer wall of the transmission shaft and the gear box.
[0062] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, some embodiments provide a bidirectional oil seal, including: an end cover 1, which is arranged on the side wall of the gear box; a through hole is opened in the middle of the end cover 1, and the transmission shaft of the gear box passes through the through hole. A sealing guide 2 is arranged on the inner side wall of the end cover 1 and sleeved on the outer wall of the transmission shaft; the sealing guide 2 is a PTFE wear-resistant material with added graphite material, which has a certain elasticity.
[0063] Reference Figure 3 , the sealing strip 3 is arranged on the inner wall of the sealing guide 2 and is suitable for abutting against the outer wall of the transmission shaft; the sealing strip 3 is made of wear-resistant material; wherein, during the rotation of the transmission shaft, the grease in the gear box will move along the outer wall of the transmission shaft toward the end cover 1. In the traditional sealing strip 3, the grease on the outer wall of the transmission shaft will be limited by the sealing strip 3, and will accumulate between the inner wall of the sealing strip 3 and the outer wall of the transmission shaft. With the long-term operation of the transmission shaft, there is a situation where the grease leaks outward through the gap between the transmission shaft and the sealing strip 3.
[0064] In this embodiment, when the transmission shaft rotates to throw the grease toward the inner wall of the sealing guide 2, the grease has a certain kinetic energy when it is thrown out, and the spiral groove 20 on the inner wall of the sealing guide 2 can guide the grease with kinetic energy to flow into the gear box again, thereby preventing the grease from accumulating in the gap between the inner wall of the sealing strip 3 and the transmission shaft. The sealing guide 2 is suitable for guiding the grease to flow away from the end cover 1; when the transmission shaft shakes radially, the sealing strip 3 is squeezed, and the sealing strip 3 is suitable for squeezing the sealing guide 2 to deform, so that the two ends of the sealing guide 2 abut against the outer wall of the transmission shaft.
[0065] Reference Figure 4 Through the cooperation of the sealing guide 2 and the sealing strip 3, the spiral groove 20 opened on the inner wall of the sealing guide 2 can guide the grease thrown to the inner wall of the sealing guide 2 to move into the gear box, thereby avoiding the long-term accumulation of grease between the sealing guide 2 and the transmission shaft; and when the radial shaking is caused by the high-speed rotation of the transmission shaft, the sealing strip 3 is squeezed by the transmission shaft to move in the direction of the sealing guide 2, and the sealing strip 3 squeezes the sealing guide 2 so that the two ends of the sealing guide 2 move toward the outer wall of the transmission shaft at the same time, and the two end walls of the sealing guide 2 and the sealing strip 3 are in contact with the outer wall of the transmission shaft at the same time, further improving the sealing effect of the transmission shaft.
[0066] Reference Figure 4 , the sealing guide 2 is arc-shaped and elastic; the sealing strip 3 is arranged in the middle of the inner wall of the sealing guide 2; when the transmission shaft is not rotating, the inner wall of the sealing strip 3 abuts against the outer wall of the transmission shaft, and a gap is provided between the two ends of the inner wall of the sealing guide 2 and the outer wall of the transmission shaft. Among them, when the transmission shaft rotates at a high speed, the transmission shaft will have a small radial shaking, and the radial shaking of the transmission shaft will squeeze the sealing strip 3, causing it to move in the direction of the sealing guide 2; the sealing strip 3 is squeezed to move in the direction of the sealing guide 2, and the sealing strip 3 squeezes the middle inner wall of the sealing guide 2, so that the two ends of the inner wall of the sealing guide 2 are deformed in the direction of the transmission shaft, and the two ends of the inner wall of the sealing guide 2 are suitable for moving in the direction of the transmission shaft; at this time, the two ends of the inner wall of the sealing guide 2 and the sealing strip 3 abut against the outer wall of the transmission shaft at the same time to form a multi-layer protection, which improves the sealing effect of the sealing guide 2 on the outer wall of the transmission shaft and avoids the grease on the outer wall of the transmission shaft from leaking to the outside of the end cover 1,
[0067] Reference Figure 5, a spiral groove 20 is provided on the inner wall of the sealing guide 2 in the circumferential direction, and the spiral groove 20 is suitable for guiding the grease to flow in the direction away from the end cover 1. The direction of the spiral groove 20 is consistent with the rotation direction of the transmission shaft; the starting point of the spiral groove 20 is located at the inner wall of the sealing guide 2 close to the sealing strip 3, and the end point of the spiral groove 20 is toward the end of the sealing guide 2 away from the end cover 1. The setting of the spiral groove 20 can guide the grease with kinetic energy to flow to the gear box when the transmission shaft rotates and throws the grease to the inner wall of the sealing guide 2, thereby preventing the grease from accumulating between the inner wall of the sealing strip 3 and the outer wall of the transmission shaft, and preventing the grease from leaking outward. When the sealing strip 3 is squeezed to move toward the inner wall of the sealing guide 2, the two ends of the sealing guide 2 are squeezed to deform in the direction of the transmission shaft. At this time, the spiral groove 20 is squeezed to be in an open state, and the opening size of the spiral groove 20 becomes larger. The opening of the spiral groove 20 is enlarged, which can accommodate more grease flowing in per unit time, avoiding the situation where the end point of the spiral groove 20 is squeezed and reduced when the end wall of the sealing guide 2 abuts against the transmission shaft. That is, after the inner end wall of the sealing guide 2 abuts against the transmission shaft, the end point of the spiral groove 20 will not be squeezed by the transmission shaft and the oil outlet will not be reduced, thereby ensuring that the oil outlet can still guide the grease to flow to the gear box.
[0068] Reference Figure 4 The sealing guide 2 is provided with a receiving chamber 21 near the sealing strip 3, and the receiving chamber 21 is suitable for storing grease; the grease is lubricating oil to reduce the friction between the sealing strip 3 and the transmission shaft. The inner wall of the sealing guide 2 is provided with a plurality of oil outlet holes on one side near the spiral groove 20, and the oil outlet holes are connected with the receiving chamber 21; when the sealing strip 3 is squeezed, the grease in the receiving chamber 21 is sprayed toward the outer wall of the transmission shaft through the oil outlet holes. The sealing strip 3 squeezes the receiving chamber 21 so that the grease in the receiving chamber 21 flows outward.
[0069] Reference Figure 2 The outer wall of the sealing guide 2 is provided with a positioning ring 22 in the radial direction, and the side wall of the positioning ring 22 abuts against the inner wall of the end cover 1. The positioning ring 22 is parallel to the inner wall of the end cover 1; the inner wall of the end cover 1 is provided with a plurality of bosses 12 at equal intervals, and the bosses 12 are suitable for limiting the positioning ring 22. The bosses 12 are "L"-shaped, and the bosses 12 are suitable for limiting the positioning ring 22 to improve the stability of the sealing guide 2 fixed to the side wall of the end cover 1.
[0070] Some embodiments provide a bidirectional oil seal, comprising: an end cover 1, which is arranged on the side wall of the gear box; a sealing guide 2, which is arranged on the inner wall of the end cover 1 and is sleeved on the outer wall of the transmission shaft; a sealing strip 3, which is arranged on the inner wall of the sealing guide 2 and is suitable for abutting against the outer wall of the transmission shaft; the sealing guide 2 is arc-shaped and elastic, and the sealing strip 3 is arranged in the middle of the inner wall of the sealing guide 2; a spiral groove 20 is circumferentially provided on the inner wall of the sealing guide 2, and the spiral groove 20 is suitable for guiding the grease to flow in a direction away from the end cover 1; wherein, when the transmission shaft rotates to throw the grease toward the inner wall of the sealing guide 2, the spiral groove 20 is suitable for guiding the grease to flow in a direction away from the end cover 1.
[0071] Reference Figure 2 The direction of the spiral groove 20 is consistent with the rotation direction of the transmission shaft; the starting point of the spiral groove 20 is located on the inner wall of the sealing guide 2 close to the sealing strip 3, and the end point of the spiral groove 20 is toward the end of the sealing guide 2 away from the end cover 1.
[0072] Reference Figure 4 The sealing guide 2 is provided with a receiving cavity 21 near the sealing strip 3, and the receiving cavity 21 is suitable for storing grease; a plurality of oil outlet holes are provided on the inner wall of the sealing guide 2 near the spiral groove 20, and the oil outlet holes are connected with the receiving cavity 21; wherein, when the sealing strip 3 is squeezed, the grease in the receiving cavity 21 is sprayed toward the outer wall of the transmission shaft through the oil outlet holes.
[0073] Reference Figure 4 A positioning ring 22 is radially arranged on the outer wall of the sealing guide 2 , and the side wall of the positioning ring 22 abuts against the inner wall of the end cover 1 .
[0074] Some embodiments provide a method for using an oil seal, the method comprising:
[0075] When the transmission shaft rotates to throw the grease toward the inner wall of the sealing guide 2, the sealing guide 2 is suitable for guiding the grease to flow in the direction away from the end cover 1; when the transmission shaft shakes radially, the sealing strip 3 is squeezed, and the sealing strip 3 is suitable for squeezing the sealing guide 2 to deform so that the two ends of the sealing guide 2 abut against the outer wall of the transmission shaft.
