Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of seal manufacturing, and particularly relates to a highly wear-resistant oil seal and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As a core component in the field of mechanical seals, the oil seal has become a key barrier to ensure the efficient operation of equipment by virtue of its precise structural design and material innovation. It adopts a multi-layer composite structure, consisting of an oil-resistant rubber matrix, a high-strength fiber skeleton (such as polyester cord or aramid fiber), and a special coating (such as PTFE or nanomaterials). Through dynamic lip contact, a triple sealing system is formed: the static sealing surface provides the initial seal, the spring pre-tightening force maintains the contact pressure (compression amount of 0.02 - 0.1 mm), and the hydrodynamic effect generates a secondary oil film barrier, effectively controlling the leakage probability and blocking pollutants such as dust and water vapor.

[0003] Although the existing oil seal materials have improved wear resistance to a certain extent by adding wear-resistant fillers and reinforcing materials, under long-term high-speed operation and high-load conditions, there are still problems such as excessive wear and short service life. In addition, the anti-aging performance and lubrication performance of traditional oil seal materials also need to be improved. Especially in harsh environments such as high temperature, high humidity, and strong ultraviolet rays, the oil seal is prone to aging and failure, resulting in a decline in sealing performance. Therefore, we provide a highly wear-resistant oil seal and a preparation method thereof to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a highly wear-resistant oil seal and a preparation method thereof. By optimizing the material formula and preparation process, the wear resistance, anti-aging property, and lubrication performance of the oil seal are significantly improved, and its service life is extended, which is applicable to high-speed and high-load mechanical equipment.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions.

[0006] The present invention provides a highly wear-resistant oil seal and a preparation method thereof, including the following components: Matrix material: Fluororubber and silicone rubber are blended in a mass ratio of 1:1, and the total content is 60% - 80%; Reinforcing material: Carbon fiber and glass fiber are compounded in a mass ratio of 1:1, and the total content is 10% - 20%; Wear-resistant filler: Molybdenum disulfide and graphite are mixed in a mass ratio of 1:1, and the total content is 5% - 10%; Anti-aging agent: Antioxidant (antioxidant 1010) and ultraviolet absorber (ultraviolet light absorber 329) are added in a mass ratio of 1:1, and the total content is 1% - 3%; Lubricant: Polytetrafluoroethylene micropowder is treated by microcapsule coating technology, the coating wall thickness is 10 - 20 nanometers, and the content is 2% - 5%.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the particle size distribution of the wear-resistant filler satisfies 3 ± 0.5 microns, and ultrasonic dispersion technology is used to ensure its uniform dispersion in the matrix.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the carbon fiber and glass fiber are ultrasonically treated before mixing. The ultrasonic power is 20 kHz, and the treatment time is 10 minutes, so as to form a nano-scale pit structure on the fiber surface. After activation, the shear strength between the fiber and the matrix is increased to 45 N / mm².

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the hardness of the oil seal is 70 - 90 Shore A, and there is no brittle cracking phenomenon at -40°C.

[0010] A preparation method of a highly wear-resistant oil seal includes the following steps: a. Put fluororubber and silicone rubber into a mixer at a ratio of 1:1, and mix at a speed of 30 rpm for 10 - 20 minutes at 80°C - 100°C to form a uniform premix. Through precise temperature control and low-speed mixing, the rubber compatibility is promoted, and the uniformity of the matrix material is improved; b. Add the ultrasonically activated carbon fiber / glass fiber mixture, and continue to mix at a speed of 40 rpm for 5 - 10 minutes until the fibers are completely dispersed (torque fluctuation < 5%). Nano-pits are formed on the surface of the ultrasonically activated fibers, enhancing the bonding force between the fibers and the matrix, and significantly improving the tensile strength; c. Add the surface-modified molybdenum disulfide / graphite mixture, and continue to mix at a speed of 40 rpm for 5 - 10 minutes. Through dynamic shearing, the filler is evenly embedded in the matrix. The surface-modified filler is evenly dispersed, reducing the agglomeration phenomenon, and effectively improving the wear resistance life and anti-wear ability; d. Add the antioxidant / ultraviolet absorber mixture, and continue to mix at a speed of 30 rpm for 3 - 5 minutes. The dual anti-aging system works synergistically to significantly delay the aging degradation of the material under high temperature and ultraviolet light; e. Add the microcapsule-coated polytetrafluoroethylene micropowder, and continue to mix at a speed of 30 rpm for 3 - 5 minutes to ensure that the microcapsules are intact without rupture. The microencapsulated PTFE gradually releases lubricating components during long-term use, reducing the friction coefficient and extending the service life; f. Inject the mixed rubber compound into a mold and form it by a gradient pressure process at 150°C - 180°C: the initial pressure is 5 MPa and the pressure is maintained for 5 minutes, and the final pressure is 15 - 20 MPa and the pressure is maintained for 10 - 15 minutes, and the density reaches 1.2 g / cm³. The gradient pressure process ensures high-density molding of the material, reduces internal voids, and improves the dimensional stability and sealing reliability; g. Adopt two-stage vulcanization: the first-stage vulcanization is maintained at 160°C ± 5°C for 20 - 25 minutes, and the second-stage vulcanization is maintained at 180°C ± 5°C for 10 - 15 minutes. The crosslinking density reaches 80%. The staged vulcanization balances the crosslinking degree of the rubber, avoids embrittlement caused by over-vulcanization, and ensures the comprehensive mechanical properties of the material; h. Precision polish the vulcanized parts (Ra ≤ 0.8μm) to eliminate burrs and surface defects. The ultra-precision surface treatment reduces the leakage risk and ensures the tight contact of the sealing surface and long-term service life; i. Run the prepared oil seal under the conditions of a load of 10N and a rotational speed of 2000rpm for 500 hours. The wear loss is < 0.1mg, and the leakage rate is < 1×10⁻ 6 mbar·L / s under a pressure of 1.5MPa. After running in a 150°C hot air aging oven for 2000 hours, the tensile strength retention rate is > 80%. The extreme working condition test verifies the ultra-low wear and high-temperature stability of the material, meeting the long-term high-load sealing requirements; j. Pack the qualified oil seal products into moisture-proof aluminum-plastic composite bags, with desiccants inside, and perform radiation sterilization after vacuum sealing. The strict packaging process prevents the material from absorbing moisture and oxidizing, and the radiation sterilization ensures no bacteria and dust, extending the product storage period.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the vacuum degree of the mixer in step a is controlled below -0.09MPa to remove volatile components.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the surface of the mold for hot pressing in step f is treated with a titanium nitride coating, and the friction coefficient is reduced to below 0.15.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that in step i, a laser displacement sensor is used to monitor the deformation of the sealing surface during the sealing performance test, and the accuracy reaches 0.1nm.

[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0015] 1. The present invention significantly improves the mechanical properties and extreme environment adaptability of oil seals through the synergistic effects of a fluororubber and silicone rubber composite matrix, a carbon fiber and glass fiber reinforcement system, and molybdenum disulfide and graphite fillers: the high-temperature resistance of fluororubber combined with the low-temperature elasticity of silicone rubber enables the oil seal to maintain stable physical properties within a wide temperature range, breaking through the problem of seal failure caused by temperature changes in traditional materials. The composite reinforcement system of carbon fiber and glass fiber forms a nanoscale surface structure through an ultrasonic treatment process, significantly improving the bonding force between the material and the matrix, thereby enhancing the shear strength and fatigue resistance. The nanoscale compounding of molybdenum disulfide and graphite utilizes their self-lubricating and high-hardness characteristics, greatly reducing the friction coefficient and significantly extending the wear-resistant life compared with traditional materials. The synergistic effects of antioxidants and ultraviolet inhibitors effectively delay the aging process of the material during long-term use, ensuring its long-term stability in complex environments.

[0016] 2. The present invention solves the problems of uneven dispersion and early loss of lubricants in the processing of composite materials through step-by-step mixing, gradient pressure forming, and microcapsule lubrication technology, and has the advantages of efficient production and cost control: the step-by-step mixing strategy ensures the uniform dispersion of each component by precisely controlling the rotation speed and sequence, avoiding fiber breakage or filler agglomeration. The vacuum devolatilization process further removes volatile impurities and improves the forming quality. The gradient pressure hot pressing process reduces internal stress through the reasonable distribution of the initial low pressure and the final pressure, enabling the material density to reach a relatively high level and significantly improving the dimensional stability. The two-stage vulcanization process optimizes the crosslinking density through the scientific matching of temperature and time, taking into account both production efficiency and material properties. The microcapsule coating technology effectively extends the slow-release time of the lubricant, reduces the maintenance frequency, and at the same time reduces material waste during the production process, meeting environmental protection requirements.

[0017] 3. The improved oil seal of the present invention can be widely applied to high-end equipment fields with demanding sealing requirements due to its excellent comprehensive performance. Its leakage rate is extremely low and it can withstand high pressure and severe vibration, meeting the long-term reliable sealing requirements under extreme working conditions. The blend system of fluororubber and silicone rubber reduces the dependence on toxic substances. The reduction of process energy consumption and waste makes it comply with international environmental protection regulations. The surface polishing treatment and dust-proof packaging process further ensure the cleanliness of the product during transportation and storage. Compared with traditional materials, its comprehensive manufacturing cost is lower and its service life is longer, with significant advantages. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
