AI Technical Summary
Existing underwater robot wheels have poor sealing reliability in deep water environments, are susceptible to electrochemical corrosion, and shaft deformation leads to uneven wear of the sealing surface. Inappropriate assembly clearances can cause mud and sand intrusion.
A two-way dynamic sealing barrier is formed by a double-stage back-to-back step seal, which is combined with a floating sealing block to achieve pressure adaptive balance. The material is resistant to electrochemical corrosion. The diameter gradient design is formed by the wheel and axle integrated shaft body, journal, shoulder and racetrack-shaped foot to enhance bending stiffness. The first seal is set back-to-back on the inner side of the large diameter of the bearing sleeve, and the second seal is set back-to-back on the inner ring of the sealing block.
With a leakage rate of less than 0.01 mL/h under a hydrostatic pressure of 60 MPa, it effectively resists deep water pressure and electrochemical corrosion, improves sealing reliability and bending stiffness, and achieves pressure balance of lubricating oil.
