Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of gear pumps, and particularly to a double-sealing-ring oil plug for a gear pump. Background Art

[0002] The oil plug of a gear pump mainly plays the role of draining and replacing oil. The main function of the oil plug is to drain the old or dirty oil in the gear pump so as to replace the lubricating oil. During the long-term operation of the gear pump, the lubricating oil may deteriorate due to oxidation, pollution or wear. At this time, it is necessary to drain the old oil inside through the oil plug and add new lubricating oil to ensure the normal operation of the gear pump and extend its service life.

[0003] In some cases, the gear pump may generate too high pressure due to overload or failure. At this time, the oil plug can also play a role in pressure release to prevent the gear pump from being damaged due to too high pressure.

[0004] Both the convenience during the disassembly and assembly process of the oil plug and the oil sealing degree need to be considered and improved, which are the technical indicators that have been pursued in this field. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a double-sealing-ring oil plug for a gear pump. The design of the double sealing rings has better sealing performance than that of a single sealing ring. The radial thickness of one of the sealing rings is thinner than its axial thickness, so the volume of its radial protrusion is smaller, which is convenient for the entire oil plug column to smoothly enter and exit the oil hole, and reduces the disassembly and assembly resistance while taking into account the oil sealing performance.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the utility model provides a double-sealing-ring oil plug for a gear pump. To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:

[0007] A double-sealing-ring oil plug for a gear pump includes: an oil plug column capable of being assembled with a pump body, and the pump body has an oil hole for accommodating the oil plug column; a sealing ring sleeved on the oil plug column, and the outer wall of the oil plug column has a groove for accommodating the sealing ring. The sealing ring includes a first sealing ring and a second sealing ring arranged coaxially with each other. The cross-sectional contour of the first sealing ring is circular, and the cross-sectional contour of the second sealing ring is elliptical. The major axis of the ellipse is parallel to the axis of the oil plug column, and the depth of the second sealing ring in the oil hole is deeper than the depth of the first sealing ring in the oil hole.

[0008] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solutions are as follows: The oil plug column of the present application can perform basic disassembly and assembly functions, realizing basic oil draining and maintenance functions. In addition, the design of the double seals has better sealing performance than that of a single seal. Secondly, the two seals are not simple existing seals. The front seal is relatively flat, that is, the radial thickness of the second seal is thinner than its axial thickness. Therefore, the volume of the second seal protruding radially is not large, which facilitates the entire oil plug column to enter and exit the oil hole without causing much assembly resistance. On the contrary, the axial dimension of the seal participating in sealing is large, which is a technical detail not possessed by traditional circular cross-section seals. Finally, the pump body and other components can form a gear pump combination as a whole.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the inner diameter of the first seal is larger than the inner diameter of the second seal.

[0010] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solutions are as follows: The oil plug column is a stepped shaft, and different seals adapt to the local diameter values of the oil plug column.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the minor axis of the elliptical cross-section contour of the second seal is smaller than the diameter of the circular cross-section contour of the first seal.

[0012] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solutions are as follows: Ensure that the second seal is relatively thin radially.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the first seal and the second seal are made of rubber or silica gel, and the oil plug column is an integral metal part.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solutions are as follows: The seals are made of flexible and elastic materials.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the groove includes a first groove and a second groove extending circumferentially. The first groove and the second groove are respectively assembled with the first seal and the second seal; there are two internal corners on the inner wall of the second groove, and there is one internal corner on the inner wall of the first groove.

[0016] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solutions are as follows: The groove can provide a designated installation position for the seal to prevent loosening along the axial direction. The shapes of the first groove and the second groove are also different. The second groove has stronger wrapping property to prevent the second seal from touching the inner wall of the oil hole and being taken out.

[0017] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the depth of the second groove is smaller than the minor axis of the elliptical cross-section contour of the second seal, and the width of the second groove is equal to the major axis of the elliptical cross-section contour of the second seal.

[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the second groove just clamps the second sealing ring, but the outer edge of the second sealing ring is also exposed to allow it to elastically seal with the inner wall of the oil hole.

[0019] As a further improvement of the present invention, the included angles of the internal angles are all right angles.

[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the right-angle internal angle has a better limiting effect on the sealing ring.

[0021] As a further improvement of the present invention, the oil plug column has an external thread section, and the external thread section is located between the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring.

[0022] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the external thread section is convenient for thread fixing.

[0023] As a further improvement of the utility model, the oil plug column has an outer hexagonal section, and the outer hexagonal section is located on a side of the first sealing ring away from the second sealing ring.

[0024] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the outer hexagonal section is convenient for turning the oil plug column with a wrench.

[0025] As a further improvement of the utility model, the outer wall of the oil plug column is recessed with a plurality of radial blind holes, which are arranged in a ring array around the axis of the oil plug column, and the radial blind holes are located between the external thread section and the second sealing ring.

The front sealing ring is relatively flat, that is, the radial thickness of the second sealing ring is thinner than its axial thickness. Therefore, the volume of the second sealing ring protruding radially is not large, which facilitates the entire oil plug column to enter and exit the oil hole without causing much assembly resistance. On the contrary, the axial dimension of the sealing ring participating in sealing is large, which is a technical detail not possessed by the traditional sealing ring with a circular cross-section. Finally, the pump body can form a gear pump combination with other components as a whole.
