[0028] In summary, the first area, the second area, the third area, the fourth area and the fifth area in the application form a superimposed combined sealing system, especially the third area, the fourth area and the fifth area are multiple sealing lap joints, effectively solving the problem of slurry leakage of the non-integral sealing plate cut-off sealing seat structure, and at the same time, the sealing seat can block the medium gushing and slurry leakage under high pressure difference, greatly improving the safety of the process of replacing the cutting tool.

[0029] Further, the front filler 20, the rear filler 21, the left filler 4 and the right filler 5 around the first area where the upper sealing plate 1 is located are all isosceles triangle and trapezoidal combination in transverse cross-sectional shape, the filler is a long strip body, wraps the upper sealing plate or the lower sealing plate, and the trapezoidal cross-sectional filler is pressed on the triangular cross-sectional filler, the upper part of the filler is pressed tightly by the pressing plate 3, and the dustproof plate 2 is further arranged on the pressing plate 3; the dustproof plate 2 is formed by vulcanization of an alloy plate 823 and rubber 843.

[0030] Through the above structural design, the triangular and trapezoidal cross-sectional fillers generate wedge tightness when wrapping the upper sealing plate or the lower sealing plate after layered pressure, increase the sealing specific pressure, make the sealing performance more stable, especially after multiple movements of the upper sealing plate and the lower sealing plate, the fillers will not be loose, the sealing effect is good, and the wedge effect is generated. Compared with the rectangular cross-sectional filler, the triangular and trapezoidal fillers have stronger filling performance and better gap supplement.

[0031] Further, the front filler 20, the rear filler 21, the left filler 4 and the right filler 5 around the second area where the lower sealing plate 16 is located are isosceles triangle and trapezoidal combination in shape, the upper part of the filler is pressed tightly by the pressing plate 3, and the dustproof plate 2 is further arranged on the pressing plate, and the dustproof plate 2 is formed by vulcanization of an alloy plate 823 and rubber 843.

[0032] Among the third area front X seal 10, rear X seal 8, left D seal 7, right D seal 9 where the upper sealing plate 1 is located, the length of the front X seal 10 is less than the length of the rear X seal 8, and the length of the front X seal 10 is greater than the width of the upper sealing plate 1; the left D seal 7 and the right D seal 9 are pressed on the front X seal 10 and the rear X seal 8, and the upper sealing plate 1 and the third area are fixed with the front spacer 30 and the rear spacer 40 respectively.

[0033] Through the above structural design, the front X seal in the sealing system is smaller than the rear X seal, and the rear X seal is larger than the upper sealing plate, so that the left D seal and the right D seal are pressed on the rear X seal, and the front X seal avoids the auxiliary sealing hole on the left D seal and the right D seal. Four of them fully wrap the upper sealing plate without gap lap, and combine to form a third area sealing system.
