Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a deep-sea rotary joint is specifically disclosed, including a fixed joint 1, a first rotary joint 2, a second rotary joint 3 and an end cover 4. The fixed joint 1 is provided with a liquid inlet channel 11, a first fluid channel 12 and an oil storage chamber 13 which are interconnected in sequence. A through hole for installing an oil cup is provided on the side wall of the fixed joint 1, and the through hole is connected with the oil storage chamber 13. One end of the first rotary joint 2 passes through the oil storage chamber 13 and is inserted into the first fluid channel 12, and the other end is screwed with the second rotary joint 3. The two ends of the first rotary joint 2 are respectively arranged in the fixed joint 1 and the second rotary joint 3, so as to cooperate with the fixed joint 1 and the second rotary joint 3 and also play a protective role, effectively preventing seawater from entering the interior of the rotary joint from the connecting ends on both sides, so as to avoid corrosion of the bearing 6 in the oil storage chamber 13 and cause medium pollution;

[0026] A plurality of seals 5 are arranged between the outer wall of the first rotary joint 2 and the first fluid channel 12 of the fixed joint 1. The plurality of seals 5 are all first grid rings. The number of the plurality of seals 5 is at least two and they are arranged at intervals. A plurality of bearings 6 are arranged between the outer wall of the first rotary joint 2 and the inner wall of the oil storage cavity 13. The number of the plurality of bearings 6 is at least two and the plurality of bearings 6 are arranged in parallel. The outer sides of the left and right end bearings 6 after being arranged in parallel are respectively against the first limit column 22 and the second limit column 24.

[0027] The end cover 4 is sleeved on the first rotary joint 2 and is arranged at the end of the fixed joint 1. The inner end surface of the end cover 4 extending into the oil storage cavity 13 is provided with an annular boss 41, and the inner end surface of the annular boss 41 abuts against the rightmost end surface of the bearing 6. The design of the annular boss 41 of the end cover 4 and the first limiting column 22 and the second limiting column 24 can effectively limit the bearing 6 to prevent the bearing 6 from being unable to move synchronously with the first rotary joint 2 during rotation and causing a jam;

[0028] An adjusting gasket 7 is provided between the end cover 4 and the fixed joint 1, and the two are fixed by bolts 8. A second Gly ring 9 is embedded on the outer wall of the end cover 4, and the outer side of the second Gly ring 9 abuts against the inner wall of the oil storage chamber 13. A sealing ring 14 is embedded on the inner wall of the end cover 4. The sealing ring 14 is preferably a Gly ring, and the inner wall of the sealing ring 14 abuts against the outer wall of the first rotary joint 2. The design of the sealing ring 14 between the inner wall of the end cover 4 and the outer wall of the first rotary joint 2 and the second Gly ring 9 between the outer wall of the end cover and the oil storage chamber 13 can effectively prevent seawater from entering the oil storage chamber 13 of the fixed joint 1 from the gap between the end cover 4 and the first rotary joint 2, so as to avoid seawater from corroding several bearings 6 in the oil storage chamber 13, and can also effectively prevent the grease of the bearing 6 from leaking out and polluting the external environment.

[0029] A second fluid channel 21 is provided in the first rotary joint 2, a third fluid channel 31 is provided in the second rotary joint 3, the third fluid channel 31 is connected with the second fluid channel 21 and the first fluid channel 12, the design of the liquid inlet channel 11, the first fluid channel 12, the oil storage chamber 13, the second fluid channel 21 and the third fluid channel 31 can make the fluid flow along the designed channel without being easily deviated, and a plurality of sealing members 5 are provided between the outer wall of the first rotary joint 2 and the first fluid channel 12 of the fixed joint 1, which can further improve the sealing performance in the fixed joint 1 and avoid the problem of corrosion of the bearing 6;

[0030] A first limiting column 22 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the first rotating joint 2 , and a plurality of limiting grooves are provided on the outer wall of the first rotating joint 2 away from the first limiting column 22 , and a second limiting column 24 is correspondingly inserted into each limiting groove.

[0031] The second rotary joint 3 is composed of a matching portion 32 and a connecting portion 33. The matching portion 32 is truncated, and the vertical section of the connecting portion 33 is cross-shaped. The second rotary joint 3 is fixed to the first rotary joint 2 by threads. The second rotary joint 3 is fixed to the first rotary joint 2 by threads, and a rubber ring 10 is arranged between the two. The threads of the second rotary joint 3 and the first rotary joint 2 are reverse threads. The third fluid channel 31 is composed of a main channel 311 and four branch channels 312. The four branch channels 312 form a cross channel. The main channel 311 is a straight channel. The straight channel is arranged in the matching portion 32, and one end is connected to the second fluid channel 21, and the other end is connected to the middle of the cross channel. Four branch channels 312 are arranged in the connecting portion 33, and the outlet of each branch channel 312 is connected to the injection pipe. The design of the second rotary joint 3 can make the fluid enter and exit through the four branch channels 312 in the cross connecting portion 33, and then enter the main channel 311 or be output from the main channel 311, so as to improve the fluidity of the fluid and reduce the problem of seawater infiltration from the connection gap caused by multiple pipe connections.

[0032] The shape design of the third fluid channel 31 can reduce the pressure in the rotary joint by diverting the fluid to prevent the rotary joint parts from bursting due to excessive pressure, thereby improving the durability and safety performance of the rotary joint.

[0033] The workflow of this utility model:

[0034] A high-pressure fluid pipeline is connected to the liquid inlet channel 11 of the fixed joint 1. When working, the high-pressure fluid enters the fixed joint 1 from the high-pressure fluid pipeline, and flows from the first fluid channel 12 to the second fluid channel 21 of the first rotary joint 2, and then enters from the main channel 311 of the third fluid channel 31, and flows from the four branch channels 312 to the injection pipeline, and then flows to the injection device. When the injection end of the injection device injects the high-pressure fluid, it drives the first rotary joint 2 and the second rotary joint 3 to rotate at a high speed. The thread rotation direction of the first rotary joint 2 and the second rotary joint 3 is opposite to the rotation direction, which effectively prevents the first rotary joint 2 and the second rotary joint 3 from loosening, and at the same time, the rubber ring 10 between the second rotary joint 3 and the first rotary joint 2 effectively prevents seawater from penetrating into the rotary joint from the connection between the two.

[0035] The plurality of seals 5 between the first fluid channel 12 of the fixed joint 1 and the first rotary joint 2 can effectively prevent the high-pressure fluid from leaking out from the gap therebetween during the flow process, can ensure that the 50MPa pressure fluid has no leakage, and at the same time can be compatible with the entry of all liquid medium fluids;

[0036] The design of the sealing ring 14 between the inner wall of the end cover 4 and the outer wall of the first rotary joint 2 and the second Gly ring 9 between the outer wall of the end cover and the oil storage chamber 13 can effectively prevent seawater from entering the oil storage chamber 13 of the fixed joint 1 through the gap between the end cover 4 and the first rotary joint 2, so as to avoid seawater from corroding the bearings 6 in the oil storage chamber 13, and can also effectively prevent the grease of the bearings 6 from leaking out and polluting the external environment;

[0037] The utility model effectively improves the sealing performance of the rotary joint through the covering connection mode and the multi-directional sealing mode, can effectively prevent seawater from penetrating into the rotary joint, and can also prevent the problem of pollution caused by grease leakage generated when the bearing rotates.

[0038] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention are still within the scope covered by the present invention.
