Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ship industry parts manufacturing, in particular to a sealing device with a copper gasket for a ship's stern shaft. Background Art

[0002] The copper gasket on the ship's stern shaft is an important component of the ship's tail shaft system. It is mainly used to seal and support the tail shaft and the stern bearing to prevent seawater from corroding the tail shaft. At the same time, it provides necessary lubrication and reduces friction and wear between the tail shaft and the stern bearing. In addition, the copper gasket can also withstand certain axial and radial loads, playing a supporting and positioning role. The copper gasket on the stern shaft of the ship is made of copper alloy material. The copper alloy material can make the copper gasket on the ship's stern shaft have good corrosion resistance, wear resistance and pressure resistance, and can adapt to the harsh working environment of the ship's stern shaft.

[0003] The sealing device used with a ship's stern shaft copper gasket is a specialized device used to seal the ship's stern shaft (tail shaft). Its core function is to establish an effective seal between the stern shaft and the hull to prevent seawater from entering the hull and prevent stern shaft lubricating oil from leaking into the sea. The performance of this sealing device is directly related to the normal operation of the ship and environmental protection. The sealing device used with a ship's stern shaft copper gasket generally uses a sealing ring as a companion.

[0004] At present, the sealing ring used in conjunction with the copper gasket of the ship's stern shaft is generally made of corrosion-resistant rubber materials such as fluororubber (VITON) to ensure good wear resistance and sealing performance of the sealing structure. However, it is difficult to fully and stably buckle the copper gasket surface in all directions based on the corrosion-resistant rubber used as the sealing component. In particular, it is difficult to wrap the copper gasket sideways and provide pre-tightening force, making it difficult to ensure a tight fit between the sealing ring and the copper gasket.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-4 A sealing device with a copper gasket for a ship's stern shaft comprises a fluororubber sealing base ring 1. A buffer ring groove 3 is provided around the fluororubber sealing base ring 1 near the inner ring and near the top surface. A fluororubber fastening contact convex rubber ring 4 is integrally connected to the top surface of the fluororubber sealing base ring 1 near the inner ring. A fastening bundle fluororubber edge sleeve 5 is integrally connected to the top surface of the fluororubber sealing base ring 1 near the outer edge. An accommodating groove 8 is provided inside the fastening bundle fluororubber edge sleeve 5 near the inner ring. A fastening spring ring 9 is provided inside the accommodating groove 8. A prestressed release expansion groove 7 is provided on the outer ring of the fastening bundle fluororubber edge sleeve 5.

[0022] In the present invention, a first stress release slope groove 2 is provided on the top edge of the outer ring of the fluororubber sealing base ring 1. The first stress release slope groove 2 is provided around the outer ring of the fluororubber sealing base ring 1.

[0023] More specifically, by setting a first stress release ramp groove 2 around the outer ring of the fluororubber sealing base ring 1, the outer ring thickness of the fluororubber sealing base ring 1 is smaller than the main body thickness, which can provide better stress release and adaptive deformation during installation.

[0024] In the present invention, a second stress release slope groove 6 is provided on the top edge of the outer ring of the fastening bundle wrapped fluororubber sleeve 5, and the second stress release slope groove 6 is provided around the outer ring of the fastening bundle wrapped fluororubber sleeve 5;

[0025] More specifically, by setting a second stress release slope groove 6 around the outer ring of the fastening bundle wrapped fluororubber sleeve 5, the fastening bundle wrapped fluororubber sleeve 5 can be adaptively deformed when it is buckled to the outer edge of the copper alloy gasket, thereby avoiding fatigue of the structure during long-term use.

[0026] In the present invention, the number of the buffer annular groove 3 and the fluororubber fastening contact convex rubber ring 4 is two, and the two buffer annular grooves 3 are respectively located below the two fluororubber fastening contact convex rubber rings 4, and the two fluororubber fastening contact convex rubber rings 4 are circular ring-shaped structure buckle sleeves with different circular diameters;

[0027] More specifically, by setting two buffer annular grooves 3 respectively below the two fluororubber fastening contact convex rubber rings 4, the two fluororubber fastening contact convex rubber rings 4 can better buffer the depression when contacting the end face of the copper alloy gasket, making the fit tighter.

[0028] In the present invention, the prestress release expansion groove 7 is longitudinally opened through the fastening bundle package fluororubber sleeve 5, and the opening position of the prestress release expansion groove 7 coincides with the opening position of the second stress release ramp groove 6;

[0029] More specifically, by arranging the opening position of the prestress release expansion groove 7 to coincide with the opening position of the second stress release ramp groove 6 and centrally arranging them on the outer ring, the instability of the inner ring of the structure is avoided.

[0030] In the present invention, the opening width of the prestressed release expansion groove 7 near the outer ring of the fastening bundle package fluororubber sleeve 5 is greater than the groove width near the inner side of the fastening bundle package fluororubber sleeve 5, the number of prestressed release expansion grooves 7 is multiple, and the multiple prestressed release expansion grooves 7 are equidistantly distributed around the fastening bundle package fluororubber sleeve 5;

[0031] More specifically, by setting a plurality of prestressed release expansion grooves 7 and distributing them equidistantly along the sleeve 5 around the fastening bundle of fluororubber, the fastening spring ring 9 provides a pre-tightening force, ensuring that when the copper alloy gasket and the sealing ring are tightly fitted, they can better deform and expand according to the deformation of the fastening spring ring 9.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] In application, the copper gasket is buckled into the fastening bundle of fluororubber sleeve 5, and is fastened by the fastening spring ring 9 close to the inner ring inside the fastening bundle of fluororubber sleeve 5 to provide pre-tightening force, and the end face of the copper gasket contacts the fluororubber sealing base ring to provide a sealed end face structure, and the opening of the buffer annular groove 3 and the fluororubber fastening contact convex rubber ring 4 can make the fluororubber fastening contact convex rubber ring 4 collapse and deform after contacting the copper gasket, thereby pressing it more tightly to its end face.
