Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive vacuum pump sealing technology, and relates to the flange sealing structure of automotive brake booster vacuum pump. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive brake booster vacuum pump is connected to the vacuum booster and is used to extract air from the vacuum booster, thereby improving the booster's assist effect. According to the working principle of the vacuum booster, the higher the vacuum level, the better the assist effect. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the booster increases the braking force based on the vacuum pressure, making the braking more sensitive and smooth.

[0003] Each vacuum pump is equipped with a flange sealing ring, installed in the sealing ring groove of its pump body. When the vacuum pump is installed in the engine block, it provides end-face sealing between the vacuum pump and the engine block. Its main function is to ensure the isolation between the inside and outside of the vacuum pump, preventing gas leakage and oil seepage from the end face, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the vacuum pump and a stable vacuum level. The sealing ring, through its sealing performance, prevents excessive pressure differences between the pump's internal pressure and the external environment, preventing gas leakage from the high-pressure area to the low-pressure area, thus protecting the normal operation of the vacuum pump and extending its service life.

[0004] The existing sealing rings are circular, requiring workers to manually adjust them according to the groove shape before installation, which is time-consuming and prone to falling off during transportation, causing customer complaints. Summary of the Invention

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a sealing groove is provided on the flange of the automotive brake booster vacuum pump, and a sealing ring is located in the sealing groove.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the first upper sealing boss, the first lower sealing boss, the second upper sealing boss, and the second lower sealing boss are located in the same vertical direction.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, mounting bosses are provided on both sides of the sealing ring at intervals, the cross-section of the sealing groove is rectangular, and the mounting bosses on both sides are interference fit with the side wall of the sealing groove.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the sealing ring is composed of an arc segment, a straight segment, and a broken line segment.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the two ends of the symmetrically arranged straight line segments are respectively connected to the arc segment and the broken line segment.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the intersection of the straight line segment and the arc segment or the broken line segment is transitioned with rounded corners.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the arc segment is semi-circular.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, mounting bosses are provided on both sides of the middle part of the arc segment and the broken line segment, and four mounting bosses are symmetrically provided on the straight line segment on one side.

[0015] The positive and progressive effects of this application are as follows:
