Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to damper technical field, concretely relates to a piston ring type extrusion oil film damper. BACKGROUND

[0002] The piston ring installed in the extrusion oil film damper mainly functions to reduce the leakage of lubricating oil from the oil film and the suction of external air, thereby increasing the damping coefficient of the extrusion oil film damper. After the piston ring is installed into the ring groove, the outer circle of the piston ring is tightly attached to the outer ring of the extrusion oil film damper under the action of its own elasticity, and the piston ring is pushed to the outside of the ring groove and tightly attached to the side wall of the ring groove under the action of oil pressure, achieving a sealing effect. The installation diagram of each piston ring is shown in FIG. Figure 1

[0003] In theory, lubricating oil can only flow out through the gap and oil leakage hole of the piston ring, and external air can only enter the inside of the extrusion oil film damper through the gap and oil leakage hole of the piston ring, and the fluid flow-out or flow-in channel is significantly reduced compared with the open extrusion oil film damper without the piston ring structure, thereby reducing the axial flow of lubricating oil and enabling the lubricating oil to be fully extruded, and in addition, effectively reducing the suction of air and improving the completeness of the oil film.

[0004] In fact, due to the large periodic change of the oil film pressure of the extrusion oil film damper, the relative angle of the gap of the two piston rings will also change, and the piston ring structure will be offset under the rapidly changing oil film pressure, which will lead to sealing failure. These factors will reduce the sealing effect of the piston ring structure and make the damping effect of the damper worse. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
