AI Technical Summary
Existing guide wheel assemblies are prone to dust and mud accumulation inside the floating seal components under harsh working conditions, resulting in reduced O-ring compression, reduced sealing surface pressure, and rust of the floating seal ring, leading to early seal failure.
A dust-proof guide wheel assembly is designed, which adopts a combined sealing structure of cover plate and end cover, including sealing ring, labyrinth seal and floating seal component. The interference fit of the inner hole of the cover plate and the annular labyrinth seal structure prevents dust and mud from entering and enhances the sealing effect.
Effectively prevent dust and mud from entering, avoid early seal failure, and improve the service life and reliability of sealing components.
