In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown, the present utility model provides a double-sided sealed oil seal, which can adapt to complex working conditions, can not only seal the double-sided media by the oil seal, but also meet the different rotation directions of the rotating shaft. The double-sided sealed oil seal is used for sealing the rotating shaft, and includes an annular skeleton 1, two sealing rings 2 and an oil return line 3. The annular skeleton 1 includes an annular support body and a sealing body, and the sealing body is configured to cover the annular support body; the two sealing rings 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the annular skeleton 1, and the outer ring of each sealing ring 2 is connected to the sealing body; the inner ring of the sealing ring 2 protrudes from the inner ring of the annular skeleton 1 and can offset toward both sides of the annular skeleton 1 so as to be able to abut against and seal the rotating shaft inserted into the annular skeleton 1; oil return lines 3 are arranged on the surfaces of the two sealing rings 2 in contact with the rotating shaft, and the oil return lines 3 are coaxially arranged with the sealing rings 2.

[0030] By symmetrically arranging the two sealing rings 2 on both sides of the annular skeleton 1, and the inner ring of the sealing ring 2 protruding from the inner ring of the annular skeleton 1 and being able to offset toward both sides of the annular skeleton 1, such a design can seal different media on both sides of the rotating shaft at the same time. This double-sided sealing function ensures that no matter which side the medium comes from, it can be effectively sealed, thus preventing the mixing or leakage of the medium; by arranging oil return lines 3 coaxial with the sealing rings 2 on the surfaces of the two sealing rings 2 in contact with the rotating shaft, such a design enables the oil seal to adapt to different rotation directions of the rotating shaft, ensuring that the sealing effect can be guaranteed no matter which direction the rotating shaft rotates; by covering the sealing body outside the annular support body, it not only provides additional sealing and protection for the oil seal, but also has good elasticity and buffering ability, can absorb vibration and shock, and reduce the wear on the oil seal. Therefore, this double-sided sealed oil seal can not only achieve efficient sealing of the media on both sides of the rotating shaft, but also adapt to complex working conditions under different rotation directions, showing significant advantages in extending the service life, improving the operation reliability of the equipment, etc.

[0031] As Figure 2 shown, in order to improve the sealing performance of the double-sided sealed oil seal, in some embodiments, the cross-section of the two sealing rings 2 in contact with the rotating shaft is in a shape of an eight-character. Such a design increases the contact area between the sealing ring 2 and the rotating shaft, thereby enhancing the sealing effect, further effectively preventing liquid leakage. At the same time, this design can evenly distribute the stress on the sealing ring 2, reduce local wear, and extend the service life of the sealing ring 2. Further, the sealing ring 2 is made of a flexible material, and the flexible material can closely fit the surface of the rotating shaft to fill in minute surface irregularities or unevenness, thereby achieving higher sealing performance; in addition, during the assembly process, the flexible material sealing ring 2 is not prone to lip turning due to excessive stretching or compression, thereby ensuring that the contact portion between the sealing ring 2 and the rotating shaft can maintain the correct direction and shape, and avoiding affecting the sealing performance. Among them, the flexible material of the sealing ring 2 can be but is not limited to PTFE material, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0032] As Figure 1 shown, in order to improve the liquid return efficiency of the double-sided sealed oil seal, in some embodiments, a plurality of oil return lines 3 are provided. The plurality of oil return lines 3 are arranged at intervals from the outer ring to the inner ring of the sealing ring 2. By arranging the plurality of oil return lines 3 in a concentric circle arrangement from the outer ring to the inner ring of the sealing ring 2, the concentric circle arrangement of the plurality of oil return lines 3 can adapt to different rotation directions of the rotating shaft. Further, by arranging the plurality of oil return lines 3 at uniform intervals from the outer ring to the inner ring of the sealing ring 2, the liquid pressure in the sealing area can be effectively balanced, and the risk of seal failure caused by excessive pressure in a local area can be avoided. It should be noted that the oil return line 3 is a prior art, and the specific principle will not be elaborated here.

[0033] As Figure 2 shown, in order to facilitate the assembly of the double-sided sealed oil seal and the rotating shaft, in some embodiments, the annular support body includes two support portions 11 arranged symmetrically back to back, and the sealing body includes two sealing portions 12 arranged symmetrically. The two sealing portions 12 are respectively configured to conformally cover the two support portions 11. The two sealing portions 12 are connected to form a complete annular skeleton 1 through a detachable connection. The outer rings of the two sealing rings 2 are respectively connected to the two sealing portions 12. Such a design divides the double-sided sealed oil seal structure into two symmetric annular structures. The outer rings of the two sealing rings 2 are respectively connected to the sealing portions 12, allowing the installer to sequentially assemble the disassembled components onto the rotating shaft step by step, reducing the risk of damage to the sealing portion 12 during the assembly process. When a problem occurs in one sealing portion 12, the single-sided component can be replaced or repaired without disassembling the entire oil seal. At the same time, such two detachable and symmetric annular structures are not only convenient for processing during production but also beneficial to the preforming of the sealing ring 2. When preforming the sealing ring 2, multiple oil seals can be placed in the same direction and preformed at one time, which can significantly improve the efficiency of the preforming process, reduce the production time, and increase the production capacity of the production line. By conformally covering the support portion 11 with the sealing portion 12, the sealing portion 12 can better fit the support portion 11, effectively preventing the leakage of oil or other media and ensuring the integrity of the seal. In addition, the outer rings of the two sealing rings 2 are respectively connected to the two sealing portions 12. The larger the contact area between the connection part of the outer ring of the sealing ring 2 and the sealing portion 12, the more stable the connection between the two. Among them, the sealing portion 12 can be made of, but is not limited to, rubber material. If the sealing portion 12 is made of rubber material, then the connection between the sealing ring 2 and the sealing portion 12 can be, but is not limited to, by vulcanization.

[0034] Furthermore, the cross-section of the support portion 11 is L-shaped; this annular structure with an L-shaped cross-section can provide strong support, increase the stability of the support portion 11, effectively resist mechanical stress, and reduce the risk of structural deformation; in addition, the two sides of the L-shaped cross-section can be set to different lengths, and the long sides can be symmetrically arranged back to back, which is convenient for simplifying the alignment process and facilitating the operator's assembly; in the current embodiment, the inner ring of the annular frame 1 is formed on the side of the long side away from the short side.

[0035] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the cross-section of the support portion 11 is L-shaped. This annular structure with an L-shaped cross-section can provide strong support, increase the stability of the support portion 11, effectively resist mechanical stress, and reduce the risk of structural deformation; in addition, the two sides of the L-shaped cross-section can be set to different lengths, and the long sides can be symmetrically arranged back to back, which is convenient for simplifying the alignment process and facilitating the operator's assembly.

[0036] As Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments, an extraction hole 4 is formed on each support portion 11. The extraction hole 4 is located between the inner ring of the sealing ring 2 and the outer ring of the support portion 11. The extraction hole 4 axially penetrates the sealing portion 12 along the annular frame 1. When the sealing ring 2 needs to be replaced or repaired, the operator can pry the extraction hole 4 with a tool to easily remove the sealing portion 12 and the sealing ring 2 from the support portion 11, reducing the difficulty in the disassembly process. Further, a plurality of extraction holes 4 are provided, and the extraction holes 4 are circumferentially spaced along the support portion 11. The circumferentially spaced extraction holes 4 provide multiple extraction points, enabling the operator to select the most convenient position for operation and improving the flexibility of assembly and maintenance.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, in order to prevent the oil seal from shifting, in some embodiments, a static seal protrusion 5 is provided on the side of the sealing portion 12 facing away from the outer ring of the support portion 11. The static seal protrusion 5 is provided around the sealing portion 12. The static seal protrusion 5 is in interference fit with the external device. The static seal protrusion 5 provides frictional force, effectively preventing the oil seal from shifting due to pressure, vibration or other factors during use, thereby keeping the sealing portion 12 in the correct position; on the other hand, the static seal protrusion 5 also realizes the static seal between the oil seal and the external device, improving the sealing performance of the oil seal. Further, a plurality of static seal protrusions 5 are provided, and the plurality of static seal protrusions 5 are axially spaced along the annular frame 1, which can provide a uniform sealing pressure in the entire area where the sealing portion 12 contacts the external device, and more effectively prevent the leakage of oil or other media.

[0038] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, rather than limitations on the implementation manners of the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present utility model. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the claims of the present utility model.
