Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of oil seals, and in particular to an oil seal sleeve for a reducer. Background Art

[0002] An oil seal is usually used between the reducer housing and the reducer output shaft to prevent liquid lubricating oil from leaking out of the housing. However, after the reducer is used for a long time, the oil seal will cause a certain degree of wear on the reducer output shaft, and the liquid lubricating oil inside the reducer will flow out of the reducer housing along the worn area, thereby increasing the maintenance cost. If the reducer output shaft is lightly worn, it can be repaired by repair welding or brush plating. If the reducer output shaft is severely worn, it can only be repaired by replacing the reducer shaft. The cost of this method is too high. At the same time, replacing the reducer shaft requires the reducer to be disassembled and installed as a whole, which is too time-consuming. Utility Model Content

[0029] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-3 ,

[0031] Example 1

[0032] An oil seal for a reducer is provided. The oil seal forms an inner annular abutment surface for contacting the reducer output shaft and an outer annular abutment surface for contacting the oil seal. Both the inner and outer annular abutment surfaces are formed with at least a layer of tungsten steel. The tungsten steel layer is replaced with a tungsten steel layer. The oil seal is made of a rigid material. The tungsten steel layer is added to increase the wear resistance of the oil seal, thereby extending its lifespan.

[0033] Specifically, the inner annular abutment surface and the reducer output shaft form an interference fit. This allows the reducer shaft to rotate with the oil seal sleeve, while also preventing liquid lubricating oil from leaking out from between the inner annular abutment surface and the reducer output shaft. Threaded glue can also be added between the oil seal sleeve and the reducer output shaft to secure the oil seal sleeve to the reducer output shaft. The outer annular abutment surface and the oil seal form an interference fit, preventing liquid lubricating oil from leaking out from between the oil seal and the outer annular abutment surface when the oil seal is installed on the oil seal sleeve.

[0034] One end of the oil seal sleeve forms a guide for inserting the oil seal. The guide can be rounded or chamfered, with chamfers being preferred in this embodiment. The diameter of the portion on the guide is smaller than the diameter of the oil seal sleeve, making it easier for the oil seal to pass through the guide and be installed on the oil seal sleeve during installation without compromising the sealing effect. If the oil seal sleeve lacks a guide, the inner diameter of the oil seal would need to be enlarged before installation on the oil seal sleeve, which could compromise the sealing effect and hinder sealing.

[0035] Reference Figure 4-5

[0036] Example 2

[0037] The difference from Example 1 is that a card groove is formed on the outer annular abutment surface. In this embodiment, the card groove is a V-shaped groove. The card groove is used to install the oil seal. The oil seal sleeve is composed of a first part, a second part and a third part. The first part and the third part are connected by the second part. Specifically, glue is applied to the two ends of the second part and the first part and the third part are glued to the two ends of the second part to form the oil seal sleeve. The second part is made of rubber material, and the first part and the third part are both made of rigid material. A card groove is formed on the second part. A clamping part is formed on the card groove. The clamping part and the card groove are both integrally formed with the second part. The clamping part is used to form an installation chamber in the card groove for installing the oil seal. When the oil seal contacts the outer annular abutment surface, the oil seal deforms and forms a deformation part embedded in the card groove, and the installation chamber is used to clamp the deformation part. The setting of the deformation part is to enable the installation chamber to change in size to a certain extent, so that the size of the installation chamber matches the thickness of the oil seal. When the oil seal is installed in the installation chamber, the size of the installation chamber may be larger than the thickness of the oil seal, resulting in a certain amount of movement space for the oil seal in the installation chamber after the oil seal is installed in the installation chamber. This will make the oil seal lose its sealing properties and cause liquid lubricating oil to leak from the reducer housing. The setting of the deformation part can change the size of the installation chamber, so that the clamping part can press the oil seal tightly, thereby making the sealing effect of the oil seal better after being installed in the installation chamber.

[0038] Specifically, a driving component is also formed in the card slot, and the driving component is used to move the card portion closer to or away from the oil seal, so that the installation chamber formed between the card portion and the card slot becomes larger or smaller. A threaded hole is provided in the card slot. In this embodiment, the driving component is a screw. A screw and an abutment block are provided at the card slot. The screw is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, and the abutment block is fixed to the screw. The abutment block is used to form a card portion. First, the installation chamber is enlarged by turning the bolt. At this time, the oil seal can be easily installed in the installation chamber. Then, the bolt is turned to reduce the installation chamber so that the card portion can be pressed against the oil seal to ensure that the oil seal has a good sealing effect after being installed in the installation chamber. Such an operation method can simplify the process of installing the seal.

[0039] Specifically, a guide chamber is provided between the reducer output shaft and the reducer housing. The guide chamber and the reducer housing are integrally formed. A deep groove ball bearing is housed in the guide chamber. The deep groove ball bearing is used to form a rotational connection between the reducer output shaft and the reducer housing, allowing the reducer output shaft to rotate relative to the reducer housing. The deep groove ball bearing is located at the end of the oil seal sleeve facing away from the reducer output shaft. Rotation of the reducer output shaft drives the oil seal sleeve and the oil seal relative to the deep groove ball bearing, thereby preventing wear of the oil seal on the reducer output shaft.

[0040] Reference Figure 6

[0041] This proposal additionally discloses a reducer shaft. The reducer shaft is made of stainless steel. The reducer shaft includes: a first transmission shaft, a second transmission shaft, and a third transmission shaft. The diameter of the first transmission shaft is larger than that of the second transmission shaft. The first, second, and third transmission shafts are integrally formed. One end of the third transmission shaft matches the diameter of the first transmission shaft, and the other end of the third transmission shaft matches the diameter of the second transmission shaft. An arcuate keyway is formed on the third transmission shaft for connecting to other output devices. When the first transmission shaft is located inside the reducer, the second and third transmission shafts are located outside the reducer housing, with the second transmission shaft serving as the output shaft. When the second transmission shaft is located inside the reducer, the first and third transmission shafts are located outside the reducer housing, with the first transmission shaft serving as the output shaft. The larger diameter of the first transmission shaft enables it to withstand higher loads. The arcuate keyway helps reduce vibration and noise caused by contact between the keyway and the key.
