[0002] At present, the existing spherical sealing rotary joints face many challenges in practical applications. The most prominent problem is that it is extremely inconvenient to add lubricating oil between the ball joint and the sealing structure. During the operation of the rotary joint, continuous friction will occur between the ball joint and the sealing structure. If the lubrication is insufficient, it will accelerate the wear process of the sealing parts, posing a serious threat to their service life. The shortening of the service life of the sealing parts means that they need to be replaced more frequently, which not only greatly increases the maintenance cost of the equipment, but also leads to an extension of the equipment downtime, thereby having an adverse impact on the production efficiency.

[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] The front, rear, left, right, up and down in this embodiment are described with Figure 1 as the reference plane. Please refer to Figures 1-6 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0021] A spherical sealing rotary joint includes a housing A1 and a housing B2. A bolt is installed between the housing A1 and the housing B2. A limit block 11 is clamped and installed in the housing A1. An installation groove 111 is opened on the right surface of the limit block 11. An inner seal block A12 is clamped and installed in the installation groove 111. An axial positioning mechanism 13 is clamped and installed between the limit block 11 and the housing A1. An inner seal block B3 is clamped and installed in the housing B2. A spherical connecting pipe 4 is rotatably installed between the inner seal block B3 and the inner seal block A12. The left end of the spherical connecting pipe 4 penetrates through the inner seal block A12, the limit block 11, the axial positioning mechanism 13 and the housing A1. An oil filling port 21 is penetrated and opened on the upper surface of the housing B2. An L-shaped oil passage 31 is provided in the inner seal block B3. The L-shaped oil passage 31 is communicated with the oil filling port 21. A circulation oil passage 5 communicated with the L-shaped oil passage 31 is provided in the inner seal block A12. A plurality of lubrication ports 51 are penetrated and opened in both the circulation oil passage 5 and the L-shaped oil passage 31;

[0022] Combined with Figure 2As shown, when adding lubricating oil, a syringe or other hole-type injection tool can be used to inject lubricating oil into the L-shaped oil passage 31 through the oil injection port 21. The lubricating oil flows into the circulation oil passage 5 via the L-shaped oil passage 31 and into the lubricating port 51 to contact the right end of the spherical connecting pipe 4. As the spherical connecting pipe 4 rotates, the lubricating oil is evenly smeared on the outer surface of the hinge joint of the spherical connecting pipe 4, playing the role of adding lubricant between the inner sealing block B3 and the inner sealing block A12. The whole adding process is simple and convenient, and it is easier to extend the service life of the inner sealing block B3 and the inner sealing block A12.

[0023] When restricting, to prevent dust from entering the oil injection port 21 and affecting the use effect, as Figure 2 shown, a sealing bolt 22 is screwed and installed in the oil injection port 21. A sealing gasket 221 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the sealing bolt 22. The sealing gasket 221 seals the opening of the L-shaped oil passage 31. The oil injection port 21 can be sealed by the sealing bolt 22. When adding lubricating oil, it can be unscrewed.

[0024] Combined with Figure 3 and Figure 2 shown, the axial positioning mechanism 13 includes an axial positioning bearing 131, a bearing sealing ring A132, and a bearing sealing ring B133. The axial positioning bearing 131 is fixedly installed in the housing A1. The bearing sealing ring A132 is installed between the axial positioning bearing 131 and the inner cavity of the housing A1. The bearing sealing ring B133 is installed between the axial positioning bearing 131 and the limiting block 11. The axial positioning bearing 131 is sleeved on the outer surface of the spherical connecting pipe 4;

[0025] An axial positioning mechanism 13 is arranged in the spherical sealing adapter to enable the spherical connecting pipe 4 to rotate horizontally, avoiding friction on the seal caused by offset rotation. This design can effectively improve the stability and service life of the spherical sealing adapter and reduce the wear of the seal caused by offset rotation.

[0026] To ensure the stability of the limiting block 11, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a plurality of positioning pins 14 are fixedly installed circumferentially and equidistantly in the housing A1. A plurality of positioning grooves 112 are circumferentially and equidistantly formed on the left surface of the limiting block 11. The positioning pins 14 are inserted and installed in the corresponding positioning grooves 112. The limiting block 11 can be restricted by the positioning pins 14 to ensure the overall stability of the adapter.

[0027] Finally, to ensure the sealing effect inside the adapter, during installation, the opposite surfaces between the inner sealing block B3 and the inner sealing block A12 need to be fitted, and the inner side surfaces of the inner sealing block B3 and the inner sealing block A12 need to be fitted with the outer surface of the spherical connecting pipe 4.
