[0022] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clarify the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention; it is clear that the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. 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.
[0023] The utility model provides Figures 1 to 4 The illustrated embodiment of a one-piece gasket for a heat exchanger comprises a gasket body 1, which is a hollow cylinder to facilitate the passage of bolts. Two side ring grooves 2 are defined on the outer ring of the gasket body 1, one at the top and one at the bottom of the outer ring. An airbag ring 3 is secured within the inner ring of the side ring 2, and a recess 4 is provided within the inner ring of the airbag ring 3.
[0024] A through slot 8 is provided on the gasket body 1 and passes through the upper and lower surfaces of the gasket body 1 . There are multiple through slots 8 , which are evenly distributed around the axis of the gasket body 1 . A separator 9 is integrally formed in the middle section of the through slot 8 .
[0025] Specifically, the bolt passes through the inner ring of the gasket body 1, and then the gasket body 1 is placed in its entirety in the connecting groove, with the outer ring of the gasket body 1 abutting against the inner wall of the connecting groove.
[0026] When the outer diameter of the gasket body 1 is larger than the inner diameter of the connecting groove, the gasket body 1 will be squeezed, and the through groove 8 can provide a certain shrinkage space for the gasket body 1; at the same time, the airbag ring 3 will also be squeezed, and the gas will be squeezed into the recessed portion 4, causing the recessed portion 4 to expand and fit onto the inner wall of the side ring groove 2, thereby preventing the gasket body 1 from being damaged by the bolts and the inner wall of the connecting groove in the connecting groove, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the gasket.
[0027] Furthermore, the separator 9 can be adaptively deformed and separate the through groove 8 without affecting the sealing performance of the gasket body 1 .
[0028] When the outer diameter of the gasket body 1 is smaller than the inner diameter of the connecting groove, the bolt can be rotated a few more turns to squeeze the gasket body 1 through the bolt, thereby squeezing the airbag ring 3. After being squeezed, the airbag ring 3 extends from the inside of the side ring groove 2 and abuts against the inner wall of the connecting groove, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the gasket.
[0029] At the same time, two upper and lower airbag rings 3 are provided on the outer ring of the gasket body 1, which further improves the sealing performance of the gasket.
[0030] By providing structures such as the side ring groove 2 and the airbag ring 3, when the outer diameter of the gasket body 1 is larger than the inner diameter of the connecting groove, the gasket body 1 is prevented from being damaged by the extrusion of the bolts and the inner wall of the connecting groove in the connecting groove, thereby ensuring the use efficiency of the gasket; at the same time, when the outer diameter of the gasket body 1 is smaller than the inner diameter of the connecting groove, the airbag ring 3 is squeezed and extends out from the inside of the side ring groove 2, and abuts against the inner wall of the connecting groove, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the gasket.
[0031] During the manufacturing process, after the gasket body 1 is formed, the airbag ring 3 is clamped into the inside of the side ring groove 2 .
[0032] The through groove 8 can be set to a diamond shape, which can ensure that a certain shrinkage space is provided for the gasket body 1 while ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the gasket.
[0033] The separator 9 includes a first bending portion 10 and a second bending portion 11 , and the first bending portion 10 and the second bending portion 11 are distributed in a V shape.
[0034] When the gasket body 1 is squeezed, the through groove 8 can provide a certain shrinkage space for the gasket body 1 , and at this time, the first bent portion 10 and the second bent portion 11 are close to each other and fit together.
[0035] To enhance friction between the airbag ring 3 and the inner wall of the connecting groove and improve the stability of the gasket during use, bumps 5 are fixedly connected to the outer ring of the airbag ring 3 and are distributed along the height direction of the airbag ring 3. There are multiple bumps 5, and the multiple bumps 5 are distributed in a circular array around the outer ring of the airbag ring 3.
[0036] The upper and lower surfaces of the gasket body 1 are both provided with a face ring groove 6, and the inside of the face ring groove 6 is fixedly connected with a ring piece 7. The ring pieces 7 are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the gasket body 1 to form a whole with the gasket body 1. When the bolts are tightened, the airbag ring 3 can be squeezed through the ring piece 7, thereby increasing the reaction speed of the airbag ring 3 and making the gasket less likely to deform.
