DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, 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.

[0020] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, a combined seal with conductive function includes a conductive oil seal 1, conductive PTFE 2 and a dust lip seal 3. The conductive oil seal 1 is made of a metal skeleton and conductive rubber vulcanized together. An oil seal spring 4 is installed on the inside of the conductive oil seal 1 to compensate for the radial clamping force of the rubber lip. The conductive PTFE 2 is located between the conductive oil seal 1 and the dust lip seal 3. The dust lip seal 3 is located at the outermost side of the seal. The dust lip seal 3 is made of rubber and a metal skeleton vulcanized together to prevent external media from entering the inside.

[0021] In this embodiment, the metal frame includes a first metal frame 5 and a second metal frame 6. The first metal frame 5 is located inside the second metal frame 6. The first metal frame 5 is connected to the conductive oil seal 1, and the second metal frame 6 is connected to the dust lip seal 3. A first positioning rubber layer 9 and a second positioning rubber layer 10 are provided between the first and second metal frames 5 and 6. The front end of the conductive PTFE 2 extends forward, and the rear end is located between the first and second positioning rubber layers 9 and 10. This positioning rubber layer increases friction when pressed together with the PTFE, ensuring a secure PTFE assembly. The extrusion and positioning of the conductive PTFE by the rubber ensures that there is no radial movement in its position, ensuring concentricity and enhancing the sealing effect of the second layer.

[0022] In this embodiment, the conductive PTFE 2 has a conductive function, acts as a seal, and allows current to flow. The front end of the conductive PTFE 2 extends inward at a 30-degree angle, creating an interference fit with the shaft. This provides a good seal, low frictional heat generation, and a low friction coefficient, allowing current to be conducted away. A positioning boss 11 is provided at the rear end of the conductive PTFE 2, which cooperates with the positioning rubber layer to provide a certain positioning function.

[0023] In this embodiment, the inner end of the dust lip seal 3 is provided with a PTFE support 12. The support surface of the PTFE support 12 is an inclined surface that mates with the front end of the conductive PTFE 2. The outer end of the dust lip seal 3 is provided with a dust lip 13 that extends outward at an angle. This lip transitions with the shaft, effectively preventing external media from entering the seal.

[0024] In this embodiment, a spring groove is provided on the inner side of the conductive oil seal 1, and the oil seal spring 4 is connected end to end to form a loop and installed in the spring groove to compensate for the radial clamping force of the rubber lip, making the sealing performance more durable.

[0025] In this embodiment, the conductive oil seal 1 includes an oil seal waist 8 and an oil seal lip 7. The oil seal waist 8 is used to support the lip area to improve the sealing effect. The oil seal lip 7 is molded or cut to ensure shape and size to ensure sealing.

[0026] During the production of this combined seal, adhesive is applied to the contact area between the metal frame and the rubber. The metal frame and rubber are placed in a vulcanizer and vulcanized together under high temperature, high pressure, and sufficient time. PTFE is placed between the two seals and a special pressure roll is used to form a combined seal.

[0027] The above illustrates and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not in any way limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any technical solution obtained by equivalent substitution or other methods falls within the scope of protection of the present invention. Any portion not covered by the present invention is equivalent to or can be implemented using existing technology.
