[0037] Example 1
[0038] A main motor coupling 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, the coupling 1 includes an internal gear sleeve 3 and an external gear sleeve 2 sleeved on the outer circle of the coupling 1, and a sealing structure 4 is provided between the internal gear sleeve 3 and the external gear sleeve 2.
[0039] The sealing structure 4 includes a first sealing structure and a second sealing structure. The first sealing structure includes a sealing strip 41, which is an aluminum alloy strip connected in a ring shape. An annular groove is formed on the outer side of the sealing strip 41 along its length. A fastener 42 is provided in the annular groove. In embodiment 1, the fastener 42 is a clamp. The clamp is pressed against the outer side of the sealing strip 41, so that the sealing strip 41 is fixed on the outer side of the external gear sleeve 2, forming an axial sealing structure 4 on the outer circle of the external gear sleeve 2.
[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the clamp is an adjustable clamp with fastening ears 421 welded to both ends. Bolt holes are provided on the fastening ears 421, and the tightening and loosening of the bolts and nuts form an adjustable fastening ring, thereby adjusting the tightness of the sealing strip 41.
[0041] In another embodiment of this application, the tightness of the fastener can also be adjusted by a clasp.

The lower end of the pressure cap 43 near the outer gear sleeve 2 is a large arc-shaped rounded corner, and there is a gap between it and the outer gear sleeve 2. Since there is axial movement between the inner gear sleeve 3 and the outer gear sleeve 2 when the coupling 1 is in use, the large arc-shaped rounded corner can avoid interference with the rounded corners on both sides of the teeth of the outer gear sleeve 2 when the sealing structure 4 moves axially.
[0045] The pressure ring 44 is a component with a bent portion, which is connected to the pressure cover 43 through the second connector 441. The side wall of the pressure ring 44 fits against the side wall of the sealing strip 41, so that the pressure ring 44 slides above the sealing strip 41. A cavity for accommodating lubricating medium is formed between the pressure ring 44 and the sealing strip 41. A second sealing groove 442 is opened on the side wall of the pressure ring 44. The second sealing groove 442 is located on the mating surface of the pressure ring 44 and the sealing strip 41. An O-ring is provided in the second sealing groove 442, forming a radial sealing structure 4 on the external gear sleeve 2.

[0048] However, the bolt is prone to breakage, so the compression cover 43 is provided with a positioning stop 432, and the compression ring 44 is provided with a positioning ring groove 442, so as to avoid breakage of the bolt due to dynamic shear force.
[0049] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 The lower end of the compression cover 43 is provided with a protruding positioning stop 432, the positioning stop 432 is matched with the inner tooth shaft sleeve 3 in the form of a stop, the positioning stop 432 is in the form of a step, the inner tooth shaft sleeve 3 is limited, and the two ends of the inner tooth shaft sleeve 3 are attached to the compression cover 43.
[0050] The compression ring 44 is provided with a positioning ring groove 442, the positioning ring groove 442 protrudes outward and is perpendicular to the compression cover 43, and the second connecting piece 441 passes through the positioning ring groove 442 to connect the compression ring 44 and the compression cover 43.
[0051] Through the arrangement of the compression cover 43 and the compression ring 44, breakage of the first connecting piece 431 and the second connecting piece 432 due to shear force is avoided when the shaft coupling swings.
[0052] In actual work, the shaft coupling always swings in the axial and radial directions, when the first connecting piece 431 and the second connecting piece 432 are both bolts, the bolt is prone to deformation and breakage under the action of shear force, so the lower end of the compression cover 43 is provided with a positioning stop 432, when the inner tooth shaft sleeve 3 moves relative to the compression cover 43, the force is buffered through the positioning stop 432; the compression ring 44 is provided with a positioning ring groove 442, so that the extended section of the bolt is fixed and strengthened, when axial or radial swinging occurs, the shear force is buffered through the positioning ring groove 442, the structural strength is improved, and the service life is prolonged.
[0053] The present application changes the lip seal into the rectangular cross-section sealing strip 41 structure, the strength is increased, the hoop 42 is locked outside the seal to ensure the axial seal; the sealing strip 41 two sides are locked by the compression ring 44 containing O-ring and the gland 43 to ensure the radial seal; the sealing strip 41 uses the fluorine rubber more resistant to oil and aging oxidation to ensure the sealing quality, the bevel uses 30° adhesive technology to ensure the sufficient adhesive strength; finally, the axial and radial bidirectional sealing structure is formed by the bolt fastening on the inner ring gear, the main motor coupling can continuously work for more than 12 months without oil leakage, the tooth part is fully lubricated, the on-site maintenance replacement frequency is reduced, the labor and spare part cost are reduced, the sealing strip 41 is convenient and simple to replace, and the continuous online use of the main motor coupling is ensured.
[0054] The present application has been described above, and the description is not limited, and the shown in the drawings is only one of the embodiments of the present application, and the actual structure is not limited. Therefore, if the ordinary skilled in the art is inspired, without departing from the creative purpose of the present application, the similar structure and embodiments are not creatively designed, which should belong to the protection scope of the present application.
