Due to the needs of manufacturing processes, various working media such as special or even toxic gases, high-purity water, and corrosive liquids often need to be transported. Usually, a rotary joint is used to complete the connection between the static pipeline and the pipeline of the rotating workbench.
[0003] Existing rotary joints are mostly of integral structure, and the transported medium, the number of channels, the flow capacity, etc. cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the working conditions. Moreover, the processing difficulty of the integral structure is relatively large, and there are high requirements for the roundness and cylindricity of the housing and the rotating shaft. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that the transported medium, the number of channels, the flow capacity, etc. of the existing integral rotary joint cannot be flexibly adjusted and the overall processing difficulty is relatively high. The utility model provides a multi-section spliced rotary joint to solve the above problems.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is: a multi-section spliced rotary joint, including a rotating shaft, and a plurality of sealing housings are sleeved and spliced along the axial direction on the rotating shaft. The sealing housing has an installation groove with an open left end and a supporting portion at the bottom of the installation groove;
[0006] Located in the installation groove, a moving ring seat is sleeved on the rotating shaft; moving rings are respectively arranged on both end faces of the moving ring seat, static rings and sealing springs are installed on both end faces of the supporting portion, and the static rings are slidably installed in the supporting portion; for the supporting portion to the left of the moving ring seat, the sealing spring installed on the right end face thereof pushes the static ring to the right, so that the static ring is hermetically attached to the moving ring on the left side of the moving ring seat; for the supporting portion to the right of the moving ring seat, the sealing spring installed on the left end face thereof pushes the static ring to the left, so that the static ring is hermetically attached to the moving ring on the right side of the moving ring seat.

The scope of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model includes additional implementations, where the functions can be executed in a manner that is not in the order shown or discussed, including in a substantially simultaneous manner according to the functions involved or in a reverse order, which should be understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the embodiments of the present utility model belong.
[0019] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, the present utility model provides a multi - joint splicing type rotary joint, which includes a rotating shaft 2. A plurality of sealing shells 3 are sleeved and spliced along the axial direction on the rotating shaft 2. The sealing shell 3 has an installation groove 4 with an open left end and a supporting part 9 located at the bottom of the installation groove 4.
[0020] Located within the installation groove 4, a moving ring seat 5 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 2; moving rings 6 are respectively arranged on both end faces of the moving ring seat 5, and static rings 7 and sealing springs 8 are installed on both end faces of the supporting portion 9, and the static ring 7 is slidably installed in the supporting portion 9; for the supporting portion 9 located to the left of the moving ring seat 5, the sealing spring 8 installed on the right end face thereof pushes the static ring 7 to the right, so that the static ring 7 is sealingly attached to the moving ring 6 on the left side of the moving ring seat 5; for the supporting portion 9 located to the right of the moving ring seat 5, the sealing spring 8 installed on the left end face thereof pushes the static ring 7 to the left, so that the static ring 7 is sealingly attached to the moving ring 6 on the right side of the moving ring seat 5.
[0021] For the multi-section spliced rotary joint of the present application, the rotating shaft 2 adopts an integral structure, and its shaft body part is integrally processed. The housing on the rotating shaft 2 adopts a spliced structure, and several split sealing housings 3 are sequentially sleeved on the rotating shaft 2. Each sealing housing 3 and the components installed therein form a sealing area. Specifically, there is a moving ring seat 5 in the installation groove 4, and static rings 7 are sealingly attached to both the left and right end faces of the moving ring seat 5. Taking one of the sealing housings 3 as an example, to the left of the moving ring seat 5 within the sealing housing 3, the static ring 7 installed on the right end face of the supporting portion 9 of the sealing housing 3 adjacent to the left of this sealing housing 3 is pushed by the sealing spring 8 and fits onto the moving ring 6 on the left side of this moving ring seat 5. Similarly, to the right of this moving ring seat 5, the static ring 7 installed on the left side of the supporting portion 9 of the sealing housing 3 where it is located will fit onto the moving ring 6 on the right side of this moving ring seat 5.
[0022] In this way, dynamic sealing surfaces can be formed on both sides of the moving ring seat 5, and an independent sealing section is formed inside the installation groove 4. Since the number of sealing housings 3 is multiple, the number of such sealing sections can be set according to the needs of the use of the rotary joint 1. In this way, the rotary joint 1 has the ability to convey media in multiple channels.
[0023] In this structure, since the sealing housings 3 are installed in a spliced manner, the problem of low boring machining accuracy of the housing of the existing rotary joint 1 is avoided. There is no need for long-cantilever boring machining. The spliced structure divides the original integral part for machining, which can improve the machining accuracy of components such as the sealing housing 3, the moving ring 6, and the static ring 7. Through high-precision assembly, the manufacturing accuracy of the overall rotary joint 1 is improved, and various surface treatments can be performed on each component, having good sealing performance and service reliability. At the same time, this spliced structure improves the assembly processability of the rotary joint 1, facilitating assembly, disassembly, and maintenance.
[0024] On each of the support portions 9, a secondary flow passage groove 10 is formed by enclosing between the stationary rings 7 on the two end faces thereof; the rotary joint 1 is provided with a main flow passage 11 and a secondary flow passage 12. The main flow passage 11 successively includes a main passage of the rotating shaft 2 of the rotating shaft 2, a radial hole of the rotating shaft, a flow guiding hole of the moving ring seat, an installation groove 4 and a main passage of the housing. The secondary flow passage 12 successively includes a secondary passage of the rotating shaft 2 of the rotating shaft 2, a radial hole of the rotating shaft, the secondary flow passage groove 10 and a secondary passage of the housing.
[0025] The rotary joint 1 can be used for working conditions such as conveying nitrogen, compressed air, negative pressure vacuum, etc. The design of the passage can adopt the above-mentioned compact structure design. A sealed cavity area is formed between the moving ring seat 5 and the stationary rings 7 on both sides. Cooperating with the passages on the rotating shaft 2 and the sealed housing 3 forms the so-called main flow passage 11, which can convey nitrogen, compressed air, etc. with a relatively large flow rate. At the same time, a secondary flow passage groove 10 is also formed between two adjacent stationary rings 7, which also constitutes a sealed cavity area. Cooperating with the passages on the rotating shaft 2 and the sealed housing 3 forms the so-called secondary flow passage 12. Since the flow cross-section of the secondary flow passage 12 is relatively small, it can generally be used for conveying gases with a relatively small flow rate or connecting vacuum tubes or negative pressure tubes. Because the conveyed media are all gases, such a mechanism can be adopted to enable the rotary joint 1 to have more flow passages, improving the conveying capacity and efficiency.
[0026] Between two adjacent sealed housings 3, they are positioned by a positioning step and a positioning hole and fixed by connecting bolts. An end face sealing ring 13 is arranged between two adjacent sealed housings 3. The use of the positioning step and the positioning hole can achieve accurate positioning between the sealed housings 3, and the use of connecting bolts can achieve rapid installation and disassembly of the sealed housings 3, ensuring the overall installation accuracy after the rotary joint 1 is assembled. The end face sealing ring 13 can ensure the formation of a reliable sealed cavity inside and at the same time prevent external water vapor, etc. from entering the passage.
[0027] Bearings 14 are arranged at both ends of the rotating shaft 2, and anti-rotation pins 15 are arranged on the two end faces of the support portion 9. The bearings 14 have high positioning accuracy and centering property. Due to the multi-section splicing structure. Precise positioning with bearings 14 at both ends can ensure the overall installation accuracy of the rotary joint 1 and improve the reliability during use. The anti-rotation pins 15 adopted can ensure that on the one hand, the stationary ring 7 can slide axially to adjust the sealing fit state, and on the other hand, it will not rotate with the moving ring 6 due to the friction force, ensuring reliable sealing.

The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content in the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
