[0028] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The mud and water prevention lip 12 and the outer flange 2 are interference fit. Through the interference fit between the mud and water prevention lip 12 and the outer flange 2, a bearing external sealing wall cavity can be formed between the ring body 1 and the outer flange 2, so that the mud blocking effect can be achieved. The grease leakage prevention lip 13 and the outer flange 2 are interference fit. Through the interference fit between the grease leakage prevention lip 13 and the outer flange 2, a bearing internal sealing cavity can be formed between the ring body 1 and the outer flange 2, so that grease inside the bearing can be prevented from leaking. The grease blocking lip 14 and the outer flange 2 are transition fit. Through the transition fit between the grease blocking lip 14 and the outer flange 2, grease can be prevented from overflowing to the outside of the bearing.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3The processing component includes a first processing cavity 15 for facilitating the forming of the mud and water proof lip 12. The first processing cavity 15 is arranged at the gap between the mud and water proof lip 12 and the ring body 1. A second processing cavity 16 for facilitating the forming of the anti-leakage grease lip 13 is arranged at the gap between the anti-leakage grease lip 13 and the anti-leakage grease lip 12. A third processing cavity 17 for sealing the edge of the grease proof lip 14 is arranged at the gap between the grease proof lip 14 and the grease proof lip 13. When producing this device, since multiple groups of processing cavities are on the same side, the ring body 1 can be fixed to the outer wall of the outer flange 2 first and then the multiple groups of lips can be processed, which is more convenient during processing.

[0030] Working principle: Through the mutual cooperation between the mud and water prevention lip 12, the grease leakage prevention lip 13, the grease blocking lip 14 and the outer flange 2, multiple groups of sealing cavities can be formed, which can achieve the effects of mud blocking, leakage prevention and overflow prevention. At the same time, by using the vulcanization process to connect the ring body 1 and the outer flange 2, the gap between the ring body 1 and the outer flange 2 can be further eliminated, so that water can be prevented from entering the connection between the ring body 1 and the outer flange 2, and the overall device has good sealing performance.
