[0002] In the field of manufacturing of hydraulic components, process holes are often made to achieve the connection between different holes, and after the holes are connected, the process hole openings usually need to be blocked.

[0004] However, in this solution, the diameter of the plug is larger than the process hole and uses an interference fit, so the required riveting force is large, and the bending of the forming edge is large, which easily causes the rupture of the riveting edge and affects the sealing effect. At the same time, there is no limit between the plug and the hole, and it is impossible to control whether the plug is in place after riveting, and there may be a gap between the riveting edge and the plug.

For this reason, the utility model provides a sealing plug structure, which can control the plug to be pressed in place after riveting. The plug and the mounting hole adopt a clearance fit, and the bending of the riveting forming edge is smaller, which can avoid the rupture of the riveting edge.

[0006] The utility model further provides a hydraulic component.

The plug and the mounting hole adopt a clearance fit, and the second limiting step makes part of the plug protrude relative to the mounting hole. With the same mounting groove hole structure, when riveting the plug, the bending of the riveting forming edge is smaller, which can avoid the rupture of the riveting edge.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the plug includes: a sealing section and a riveting section, the sealing section and the riveting section are connected to each other, and the outer diameter of the sealing section is smaller than the outer diameter of the riveting section to form the second limiting step between the sealing section and the riveting section.

[0034] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0035] Reference will be made below to Figures 1-7 describe the sealing plug structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention also proposes a hydraulic component.

[0036] Referring to Figures 1-3 as shown, the sealing plug structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a mounting slot hole 10 and a plug 20.

[0037] A mounting hole 11 is provided on the mounting slot hole 10. A first limiting step 12 is provided at one end of the mounting hole 11 in the first direction. At least a part of the plug 20 is fitted in the mounting hole 11. A second limiting step 21 is provided on the side of the plug 20 facing the mounting hole 11. The second limiting step 21 and the first limiting step 12 are in limiting cooperation.

[0038] Specifically, a first limiting step 12 is provided at the upper end of the axial direction of the mounting hole 11. A part of the structure of the plug 20 is fitted in the mounting hole 11. The riveting die 40 above the mounting slot hole 10 performs riveting on the mounting slot hole 10 and the plug 20. Since a second limiting step 21 is provided on the side of the plug 20 facing the mounting hole 11, and the diameter of the second limiting step 21 is greater than the diameter of the mounting hole 11, the second limiting step 21 and the first limiting step 12 are in limiting cooperation, so that the upper end of the plug 20 can be stuck on the first limiting step 12 of the mounting hole 11. The position of the plug 20 can be fixed during the assembly before riveting, and the position of the plug 20 will not move during the riveting process. In this way, the position of the plug 20 after riveting can be controlled to be pressed in place, which is convenient for riveting and prevents gaps between the edge of the riveting and the plug 20.

[0039] Moreover, the plug 20 and the mounting hole 11 adopt a clearance fit. The second limiting step 21 makes a part of the plug 20 protrude relative to the mounting hole 11. For the same structure of the mounting slot hole 10, when the plug 20 is press riveted, the bending of the press riveting forming edge is smaller, which can avoid the rupture of the press riveting edge.

[0040] Thus, by providing the first limiting step 12 and the second limiting step 21, and the second limiting step 21 and the first limiting step 12 are in limiting cooperation, it is possible to control the plug 20 to be pressed in place after press riveting, and prevent a gap between the press riveting edge and the plug 20. The plug 20 and the mounting hole 11 adopt a clearance fit. The second limiting step 21 makes a part of the plug 20 protrude relative to the mounting hole 11. For the same structure of the mounting slot hole 10, when the plug 20 is press riveted, the bending of the press riveting forming edge is smaller, which can avoid the rupture of the press riveting edge.

[0041] Refer to Figure 6 As shown, the plug 20 includes a sealing section 22 and a press riveting section 23. The sealing section 22 and the press riveting section 23 are connected to each other. The outer diameter of the sealing section 22 is smaller than the outer diameter of the press riveting section 23, so as to form the second limiting step 21 between the sealing section 22 and the press riveting section 23. Specifically, the sealing section 22 is the part fitted in the mounting hole 11, and the press riveting section 23 is the part protruding relative to the mounting hole 11. The main stressed part during the press riveting process is the press riveting section 23. Since the outer diameter of the sealing section 22 is smaller than the outer diameter of the press riveting section 23, the diameter difference between the press riveting section 23 and the sealing section 22 forms the second limiting step 21, which is convenient for restricting the position of the press riveting section 23 and facilitating press riveting.

[0042] Wherein, the surface of the second limiting step 21 facing the mounting hole 11 can be a flange surface, which has a good sealing function, presses the plug 20 and the mounting slot hole 10 tightly together, thereby preventing fluid leakage. In addition, the flange can also withstand high-pressure and high-temperature working environments. For some special processes and fluid media, the flange can be made of different materials to meet different requirements. Finally, the flange also has a certain protective function, which can effectively protect pipelines, equipment and valves from external physical and chemical erosion.

[0043] Refer to Figures 4-5As shown, a riveting boss 13 is provided on the mounting slot hole 10. The riveting boss 13 forms a mating groove 14, and the mating groove 14 communicates with the mounting hole 11. The riveting section 23 is located in the mating groove 14, and the riveting boss 13 is attached to the riveting section 23 under the action of the riveting die 40. The riveting boss 13 is provided above the mounting hole 11. The diameter of the mating groove 14 formed by the riveting boss 13 is equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the sealing section 22 of the plug 20. Before riveting, the plug 20 is assembled in the mounting slot hole 10, the sealing section 22 is located in the mounting hole 11, the riveting section 23 is located in the mating groove 14, and the riveting die 40 is arranged above the riveting boss 13. Under the action of the riveting die 40, the riveting boss 13 is gradually attached to the riveting section 23 to complete the riveting of the plug 20.

[0044] Referring to Figure 7 As shown, a protrusion is provided at one end of the riveting section 23 away from the sealing section 22, and the end of the protrusion away from the sealing section 22 forms a riveting plane 231 so as to be attached to the riveting plane 231 after the riveting protrusion is riveted. That is, the riveting plane 231 is the stress part where the riveting die 40 presses down the riveting protrusion.

[0045] Since the thickness of the second limiting step 21 of the plug 20 and the thickness of the riveting boss 13 of the mounting slot hole 10 bear the strength of the riveting die 40, the height from the flange surface of the second limiting step 21 to the riveting surface only needs to be 2 - 3 mm to meet the bursting pressure of relatively high strength. Under the same sealing strength, the required space is smaller than that of the conical plug 20 or the threaded plug 20, and a sealing structure with small space and high pressure resistance can be realized.

[0046] Moreover, the stress area of the riveting flat position is small, and the force required for riveting to be flattened is relatively small, so it can be produced by a small press, reducing the production difficulty and cost. [[ID=,12]]

[0047] Referring to [[ID=,15]] Figure 6 As shown, a riveting inclined surface 232 is formed on the radial outer side of the protrusion on the riveting section 23 so as to be attached to the riveting inclined surface 232 after the riveting protrusion is riveted. In this way, when the riveting die 40 bends the riveting boss 13, the riveting boss 13 first bends along the riveting inclined surface 232 and then fits onto the riveting plane 231. The bending angle of the riveting boss 13 is small, and the edge is not easily broken, and the riveting quality is stable and reliable.

[0048] Referring to Figure 6As shown, the included angle between the riveting inclined plane 232 and the first direction is α, and α satisfies the relation: α > 10°. Herein, the first direction is the axial direction of the mounting slot hole 10. When the mounting slot hole 10 is horizontally placed, it is the vertical direction. That is to say, the included angle between the riveting inclined plane 232 and the first direction needs to be greater than 10°. If the included angle between the riveting inclined plane 232 and the first direction is less than or equal to 10°, the inclination angle of the riveting inclined plane 232 is too large, the bending angle at the riveting plane 231 becomes larger, which easily causes the breakage of the edge of the riveting protrusion, affecting the riveting quality and the sealing effect.

[0049] Referring to Figure 7 As shown, there are at least two protrusions, and the at least two protrusions are spaced apart on the riveting section 23. The at least two protrusions can ensure that there are at least two riveting planes 231, and there is sufficient pressing area during the riveting process to ensure the pressing strength and have good sealing performance. Also, the number of riveting planes 231 can be three, four or more. Increasing the number of riveting planes 231 can improve the riveting strength. In this embodiment, the number of riveting planes 231 is 4. In some other embodiments, the riveting plane 231 can be a strip-shaped riveting plane 231, and the strip-shaped riveting plane 231 extends along the diameter direction of the plug 20, increasing the pressing area and better fixing the plug 20 in the mounting slot hole 10.

[0050] Referring to Figures 1-3 and Figure 6 As shown, the seal plug structure 100 further includes: a seal 30. A limiting groove 221 is provided on the sealing section 22, and the seal 30 is located in the limiting groove 221 and is in interference fit with the inner wall of the mounting hole 11. Specifically, the compression rate of the sealing ring is controlled between 10% - 35% to ensure the sealing strength and convenient installation.

[0051] Wherein, the seal 30 can be a sealing ring, and using a sealing ring for sealing is more efficient and fast during pre-installation.

[0052] Also, there are at least two limiting grooves 221, and the at least two limiting grooves 221 are spaced apart in the first direction of the sealing section 22. There are at least two seals 30, and the at least two seals 30 are respectively arranged in the at least two limiting grooves 221. Since the plug 20 and the mounting hole 11 are in clearance fit, setting multiple limiting grooves 221 and multiple seals 30 can improve the sealing effect between the plug 20 and the mounting hole 11. When one seal 30 fails, the other seals 30 can still function, improving the reliability of the seal plug structure 100.

[0053] The hydraulic component according to the second aspect embodiment of the present utility model includes the seal plug structure 100.

[0054] The sealing plug structure 100 can control the plug 20 after press riveting to be pressed in place and prevent gaps between the edge of the press riveting and the plug 20 by setting the first limiting step 12 and the second limiting step 21, and the second limiting step 21 is in limiting cooperation with the first limiting step 12. The plug 20 and the mounting hole 11 are in clearance fit. The second limiting step 21 makes a part of the plug 20 protrude relative to the mounting hole 11. For the same structure of the mounting slot hole 10, when press riveting the plug 20, the bending of the press riveting forming edge is smaller, which can avoid the rupture of the press riveting edge. The press riveting die 40 makes the press riveting convex edge 13 fit onto the press riveting inclined plane 232 and the press riveting flat plane 231. The height from the flange surface of the second limiting step 21 to the press riveting surface only needs to be 2-3 mm to meet the high-strength bursting pressure. Under the same sealing strength, the required space is smaller compared to the conical plug 20 or the threaded plug 20, and a sealing structure with a small space and high pressure resistance can be realized. Moreover, the stress area of the press riveting flat position is small, and the force required for pressing flat is also relatively small, which can be realized by using a small press to produce, reducing the production difficulty and cost. The seal 30 is in interference fit with the inner wall of the mounting hole 11 to ensure the sealing strength and is convenient for installation.
