DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

Therefore, the particular feature, structure, or characteristic can be included in more than one embodiment of the present disclosure, so that these phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

On the contrary, the use of the terms "example", "exemplary", and the like is intended to present the concept in a specific manner.

[0024] The inner ring and the outer ring of the slewing bearing rotate relative to each other. Since the slewing bearing is large in size, the outer ring and the inner ring need to be sealed. However, a suitable sealing ring cannot be found, so the sealing strip is used to seal the outer ring and the inner ring in the related art. The end portions of the sealing strip are connected by glue or the like. However, the inner ring and the outer ring generate friction when rotating, which increases the heat. The increased heat can cause the glue connection performance of the end portions of the sealing strip to decrease, which reduces the sealing effect of the sealing strip.

[0025] And when the inner ring and the outer ring friction causes temperature rise, the sealing strip will expand, causing the sealing strip and the inner ring and the outer ring more closely contact to increase the wear of the sealing strip, and the pressure in the chamber is expanded by heat, which will cause the sealing strip to be washed away, affecting the sealing performance.

[0026] It should be noted that similar reference numbers and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0027] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 At least one disclosed embodiment provides a sealing mechanism for rotary support, comprising: at least one sealing strip 11, and a connecting assembly 12; wherein the sealing mechanism 1 connects the sealing strip 11 head to tail through the connecting assembly 12 to form a gap 29 between the inner ring 21 and the outer ring 22 of the rotary support 2; the connecting assembly 12 comprises: an outer sleeve 121 and a pair of clamping pieces 124; the clamping pieces 124 are slidingly arranged in the outer sleeve 121, and the clamping pieces 124 are arranged close to the corresponding end of the outer sleeve 121; the clamping pieces 124 are adapted to the shape of the inner wall of the outer sleeve 121, the outer wall of the clamping pieces 124 is in contact with the inner wall of the outer sleeve 121, the end of the sealing strip 11 extends into the outer sleeve 121 through the clamping pieces 124, at this time the clamping pieces 124 clamp the sealing strip 11; the clamping pieces 124 are connected by a memory metal 125, and the memory metal 125 is connected with the inner bottom surface of the outer sleeve 121, the memory metal 125 deforms upward when heated to pull the two clamping pieces 124 close and drive the outer sleeve 121 to arch inward, thereby realizing the head-to-tail connection of the ends of the sealing strip 11 to form a seal, avoiding the decline of sealing performance caused by temperature rise.

[0029] In this embodiment, the number of sealing strips 11 can be set according to the size of the rotary support 2, the larger the rotary support 2, the more sealing strips 11 can be used, the ends of adjacent sealing strips 11 are connected by the connecting assembly 12 to ensure that the inner ring 21 and the outer ring 22 of the rotary support 2 are sealed.

[0030] In this embodiment, the size of the inner wall of the clamping piece 124 is slightly smaller than the sealing strip 11, so that when the sealing strip 11 extends into the outer sleeve 121 through the clamping piece 124, the sealing strip 11 is clamped by the clamping piece 124 and is clamped, so that when the memory metal 125 deforms, it can clamp and move the sealing strip 11.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the memory metal 125 is deformed by heat, the clamping member 124 can pull the sealing strip 11 so that the sealing strip 11 is stretched. At this time, when the sealing strip 11 is heated and expanded, the stretched sealing strip 11 expands and contacts and squeezes less toward the inner ring 21 and the outer ring 22 than the non-stretched sealing strip 11, so that the increase in friction at the contact position between the sealing strip 11 and the inner ring 21 and the contact position between the sealing strip 11 and the outer ring 22 will be smaller, thereby reducing the wear of the sealing strip 11.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the memory metal 125 deforms, the side of the protrusion 122 extending into the gap 29 is deformed, and the side of the protrusion 122 extending into the gap 29 is concave, so that the space between the sealed gap 29 and the chamber 28 is increased. The pressure increased by heat in the chamber 28 is reduced due to the increase in space, thereby preventing excessive pressure from breaking the seal.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the outer sleeve 121 includes: a protrusion 122 and a contact portion 123; the protrusion 122 is arranged at the bottom of the contact portion 123, and the protrusion 122 and the contact portion 123 are both hollow and connected; the memory metal 125 is connected to the inner bottom surface of the protrusion 122; the protrusion 122 extends into the gap 29 formed between the inner ring 21 and the outer ring 22 of the slewing bearing 2, and the contact portion 123 contacts the side wall of the inner ring 21 and the end face of the outer ring 22 to seal the gap 29.

[0034] In this embodiment, the protrusion 122 can extend into the gap 29 to fix the outer sleeve 121 , and the contact portion 123 contacts the end surface of the outer ring 22 and the outer wall of the inner ring 21 to better ensure the sealing effect at the outer sleeve 121 .

[0035] In this embodiment, the outer sleeve 121 and the sealing strip 11 can be made of, but not limited to, rubber or the like.

[0036] In this embodiment, the clamping member 124 can be slidably connected to the contact portion 123. For example, a sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the contact portion 123 away from the protrusion 122, and a slider adapted to the sliding groove is provided on the outer wall of the clamping member 124. The slider is located in the sliding groove to guide and limit the movement of the clamping member 124 through the cooperation of the sliding groove and the slider after the memory metal 125 is deformed.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the temperature drops, the memory metal 125 recovers its deformation, driving the clamping member 124 to return to its original position. After the clamping member 124 returns to its original position, the sealing strip 11 is no longer stretched.

[0038] In this embodiment, the sealing strip 11 is embedded in the gap 29 to achieve sealing.

[0046] In the embodiment, when the ball 23 enters the chamber 28 through the through hole 25, the through hole 25 is blocked by the block 27, and then the block 27 is fixed by the pin passing through the pin hole 26 to connect the block 27, so as to prevent the ball 23 from rolling out of the through hole 25.

[0047] In the embodiment, after the installation of the ball 23 is completed, the grease can be injected into the chamber 28 from the oil injection hole 24.

[0048] In an alternative embodiment, when the inner ring 21 and the outer ring 22 rotate and rub to generate heat, the memory metal 125 in the sealing mechanism 1 is heated and arches upward, and the convex part 122 is deformed on one side of the gap 29 to approach the end face of the outer ring 22.

[0049] At least one other disclosed embodiment also provides a working method of the sealing mechanism 1 of the above-mentioned slewing bearing 2, comprising: when the memory metal 125 is heated, it deforms and arches upward to pull the two clamping pieces 124 close and drive the outer sleeve 121 to arch inward.

[0050] In an alternative embodiment, the end of the sealing strip 11 is clamped by the clamping piece 124 when it passes through the clamping piece 124.

[0051] In summary, the sealing mechanism 1 of the slewing bearing 2 comprises: at least one sealing strip 11, and a connecting assembly 12; wherein the sealing mechanism 1 connects the sealing strip 11 end to end through the connecting assembly 12 to form an adaptation to the gap 29 between the inner ring 21 and the outer ring 22 of the slewing bearing 2; the connecting assembly 12 comprises: an outer sleeve 121 and a pair of clamping pieces 124; the clamping pieces 124 are slidingly arranged in the outer sleeve 121, and the clamping pieces 124 are arranged close to the corresponding end of the outer sleeve 121; the clamping pieces 124 are adapted in shape to the inner wall of the outer sleeve 121, the outer wall of the clamping pieces 124 is in contact with the inner wall of the outer sleeve 121, the end of the sealing strip 11 passes through the clamping pieces 124 and extends into the outer sleeve 121, at this time the clamping pieces 124 clamp the sealing strip 11; the clamping pieces 124 are connected by the memory metal 125, and the memory metal 125 is connected to the inner bottom surface of the outer sleeve 121; when the memory metal 125 is heated, it deforms and arches upward to pull the two clamping pieces 124 close and drive the outer sleeve 121 to arch inward, thereby achieving the end-to-end connection of the ends of the sealing strip 11 to form a seal, and avoiding the decline in sealing performance due to temperature rise.
