Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of locomotive air dryers, in particular to an air intake device for a locomotive air dryer. Background Art
[0002] After the locomotive has been in use for a period of time, the air intake device of the locomotive air dryer in the prior art will easily bring water and impurities into the short-stroke cylinder to varying degrees as the compressed air entering the dryer contains certain liquid water and impurities as the piston rod of the short-stroke cylinder reciprocates, causing the short-stroke cylinder to become inflexible or stuck, affecting the safe operation of the locomotive and increasing the maintenance time and cost of the dryer. It is particularly important to maintain the air tightness of the air intake device to prevent impurities from damaging the machine parts.
[0003] According to a disclosed locomotive air dryer air intake device (publication number: CN 208229619 U), the protective structure added in the above application is simple and practical, which avoids the short-stroke cylinder piston (extended) rod from being immersed in water and impurities. The air intake device further adds a dustproof seal for the piston (extended) rod on the basis of the original similar air intake device.
[0004] However, during the actual use of the above-mentioned equipment, in order to ensure the air tightness of the air inlet end, a sealing ring is generally installed at the air inlet. When the air inlet encounters an environment with a lot of water and impurities, the air tightness of the ordinary sealing ring is poor due to long-term immersion in water or the influence of fine impurities on the gap of the sealing ring, which affects the overall air tightness of the locomotive dryer air inlet. In view of this, we propose an air intake device for a locomotive air dryer. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an air intake device for a locomotive air dryer to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0009] Preferably, there are several telescopic springs, which are fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the sealing ring in a circular array, so that the sealing ring can be more evenly stressed and the air tightness of the sealing ring can be ensured.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the sealing ring is provided with an annular protrusion, the inner ring is shaped like an arc bowl, and one end of the opening with a small diameter of the inner ring is fixedly mounted on the surface of the annular protrusion of the sealing ring.
[0011] Preferably, the cross section of the outer ring is semicircular, and the cross section of the groove is matched with the outer ring, the connecting ring and the sealing ring, so that the sealing ring can be better sealed inside the groove.
[0012] Preferably, the connection ring is fixedly installed at the center of the outer width of the sealing ring, and the width of the connection ring is smaller than the diameter of the outer ring, so that the outer ring is easily installed inside the groove.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a locomotive air dryer air intake device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. The air intake device of the locomotive air dryer is provided with a fixing mechanism to movably install the sealing ring inside the groove. When the connecting pipe is inserted into the intake pipe and the connecting pipe passes through the sealing ring, the inner ring is squeezed by the connecting pipe so that the inner ring moves toward the outer ring. The telescopic spring connected to the inner ring is pressed by the inner ring, thereby squeezing the sealing ring, so that the outer ring on the sealing ring can be better fixedly installed inside the groove. At the same time, the sealing ring is fixed inside the groove by the pressure of the telescopic spring, which better fixes the sealing ring and improves the air tightness inside the intake pipe.
[0015] 2. The air intake device of the locomotive air dryer is provided with a stabilizing mechanism, and a round bar and a return spring are provided on the inner wall of the inner ring, so that the sealing ring can better fit the outer wall of the connecting pipe. When the connecting pipe shakes, the round bar moves with the connecting pipe, and the return spring stretches and contracts accordingly, so that the round bar can better fit the surface of the connecting pipe. At the same time, the wavy band provided on the round bar increases the friction between the round bar and the connecting pipe, thereby improving the air tightness between the sealing ring and the connecting pipe.

[0022] In one embodiment of the utility model, a sealing ring 302 is movably installed on the inner wall of the intake pipe 2, the curvature of the sealing ring 302 is adapted to the curvature of the intake pipe 2, and the center of the sealing ring 302 does not affect the movement of the connecting pipe inside the intake pipe 2, and the surface of the sealing ring 302 is fixedly connected with a connecting ring 306, and the position of the connecting ring 306 is fixedly installed at the center of the outer width of the sealing ring 302, and the width of the connecting ring 306 is smaller than the diameter of the outer ring 304. The surface of the connecting ring 306 is fixedly connected to the outer ring 304, and the cross-section of the outer ring 304 is semicircular. The cross-section of the groove 301 is The surface shape is compatible with the outer ring 304, the connecting ring 306, and the sealing ring 302. One end of the telescopic spring 305 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sealing ring 302, and the other end of the telescopic spring 305 is fixedly connected to the inner ring 303. There are several telescopic springs 305, and several telescopic springs 305 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sealing ring 302 in a circular array. When the inner ring 303 is squeezed inward by the connecting pipe installation, the inner ring 303 can be evenly squeezed toward the inner wall of the sealing ring 302 through the telescopic spring 305, so that the sealing ring 302 can better fit the groove 301.
[0023] In addition, the stabilizing mechanism 4 includes a round bar 401, and an inner wall of the inner ring 303 is provided with a movable groove 404. The width of the movable groove 404 is adapted to the width of the round bar 401, so that the round bar 401 can be shaken in a small range inside the movable groove 404, so that the round bar 401 can move along the surface of the connecting pipe in a small range, thereby improving the stability of the sealing ring 302. One end of the return spring 403 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the movable groove 404, and the other end of the return spring 403 is fixedly installed on the round bar 401. The number of the return springs 403 is set to be several, and the several return springs 403 are circular.
