[0002] The existing cylinder usually adopts rubber sealing parts at the gland sealing position, and the sealing parts are often affected by high temperature, dust and other environmental factors during use, and are prone to aging, cracking, wear and deformation and other problems. Once the rubber seal fails, dust and other impurities are more likely to enter the cylinder, causing the piston rod and the cylinder body to wear and tear, and the cylinder to leak, thus requiring frequent maintenance or replacement, increasing the maintenance cost and reducing the service life of the equipment.
[0003] Therefore, how to provide a more wear-resistant gland sealing structure that can effectively prevent dust from entering the cylinder and at the same time has good lubrication effect has become a technical problem to be solved in the field. SUMMARY

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a new cylinder gland sealing structure, which comprises:
[0006] A sealing body is pressed and formed by polytetrafluoroethylene copper powder material, is used for replacing traditional rubber seal, and is adapted to the cylinder gland and the piston rod in shape;
[0007] A friction surface is arranged at the inner diameter of the sealing body, contacts the piston rod and forms sealing and dustproof effect;
[0008] An oil storage groove is arranged below the friction surface and is used for storing lubricating oil brought by the piston rod;
[0009] A sealing ring is arranged below the oil storage groove, the inner diameter of the sealing ring is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the friction surface, so that the piston rod can bring the oil in the oil storage groove into the inner side of the gland or the copper sleeve part during retraction, and the cylinder is further lubricated.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] Better wear resistance: polytetrafluoroethylene copper powder material is adopted, which has excellent high-temperature resistance and wear resistance, and can better resist aging problems in high-temperature environment compared with rubber products, prolonging the service life.
[0012] Better dustproof performance: The contact area between the sealing body friction surface and the piston rod is increased, effectively preventing dust and impurities from entering the cylinder and reducing the wear of the piston rod and cylinder.
[0013] Improved lubrication performance: The addition of an oil reservoir under the friction surface can hang the lubricating oil on the piston rod into the reservoir, and then bring the oil to the gland or copper sleeve when the piston rod retracts, enhancing the lubrication of the sealing part and the copper sleeve, and further reducing wear.
[0014] Reduced maintenance cost: Due to longer service life of sealing materials, less wear and tear, and less air leakage, the frequency of repair can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall maintenance cost of the equipment.
[0015] Working principle:
[0016] By establishing a positive pressure environment in the electrolysis control cabinet, using the continuous supply of clean gas, the pressure inside the cabinet is higher than the external atmospheric pressure. Since gas flows from high pressure area to low pressure area, the positive pressure environment effectively prevents the infiltration of external air containing corrosive gases such as ammonia and chlorine into the control cabinet, protecting the internal electrical components from corrosion.
[0017] Technical advantages:
[0018] Significant corrosion prevention effect: The positive pressure protection system fundamentally prevents the entry of corrosive gases, prolonging the service life of electrical components.
[0019] Improved equipment reliability: Reduces equipment failures caused by corrosion, ensuring the continuity and stability of production.
[0020] Simple and feasible structure: The use of airtight structure and positive pressure system is mature and easy to implement.
[0021] Further, the clean gas supply system includes:
[0022] Clean gas source: Provides dry and clean gas;
[0023] Filter and dryer: Set on the gas supply pipeline to filter and dry the gas;
[0024] Flow control device: Including pressure reducing valve, flow meter and solenoid valve, to control the gas pressure and flow entering the electrolysis control cabinet.
[0025] Working principle:
[0026] The gas provided by the clean gas source passes through the filter and dryer to remove impurities and moisture, ensuring the cleanliness of the gas. The flow control device adjusts the pressure and flow of the gas to ensure stable gas supply. Clean and dry gas enters the control cabinet to form a positive pressure and carry away heat.
[0027] Technical advantages:
[0028] High-quality gas supply: filtration and drying processes ensure the cleanliness of the gas, preventing secondary pollution.
[0029] Stable and reliable gas supply: flow control devices ensure stable pressure and flow of the gas supply, maintaining a positive pressure environment.
[0030] Good heat dissipation effect: clean gas also serves as a cooling agent, removing heat from the control cabinet.
[0031] Further, the pressure control device includes:
[0032] Pressure sensor: real-time monitoring of gas pressure in the electrolysis control cabinet;
[0033] Controller: receives signals from the pressure sensor to control the flow control device to adjust the gas supply;
[0034] Alarm device: alerts when pressure is abnormal.
[0035] Working principle:
[0036] The pressure sensor detects the gas pressure in the control cabinet and transmits the data to the controller. The controller automatically adjusts the opening degree of the electromagnetic valve according to the set pressure range, increasing or decreasing the gas supply to maintain a positive pressure in the cabinet. When the pressure exceeds the set range, the alarm device prompts the operator to take action.
[0037] Technical advantages:
[0038] Automatic control: real-time monitoring combined with automatic adjustment ensures that the pressure is maintained within the ideal range.
[0039] High safety: timely alarm in abnormal situations to avoid safety hazards caused by excessive or low pressure.
[0040] Easy to operate: reduces manual intervention, improves system reliability and efficiency.
[0041] Further, the sealing assembly includes a sealing door, a sealing joint, and a sealing strip, which is installed at the door, cable inlet, and pipe interface of the electrolysis control cabinet to ensure the airtightness of the control cabinet.
[0042] Working principle:
[0043] By installing sealing assemblies at all possible leakage points of the control cabinet, gas leakage is prevented. The sealing door uses a sealing strip and locking device, the sealing joint is used for cable and pipe inlets, and the sealing strip is filled in the connection gap to improve the overall sealing performance of the control cabinet.
[0044] Technical advantages:
[0045] Excellent sealing performance: Multiple sealing design ensures good airtightness of the control cabinet, which is the basis for maintaining a positive pressure environment.
[0046] High protection level: Effectively prevents the intrusion of dust, moisture, and corrosive gases, protecting internal equipment.
[0047] High durability: Use of corrosion-resistant materials extends the service life of the sealing assembly.
[0048] Further, the electrolysis control cabinet is equipped with a heat exchanger and an auxiliary heat dissipation device. When clean gas enters the control cabinet, it passes through the heat exchanger, taking away the heat inside the control cabinet.
[0049] Working principle:
[0050] When clean gas enters the control cabinet, it first passes through the heat exchanger and exchanges heat with the heat source inside the control cabinet, absorbing heat. The auxiliary heat dissipation device (such as a heat sink or heat pipe) accelerates the transfer of heat from the electrical components to the gas. The hot gas is discharged under positive pressure, achieving the purpose of cooling.
[0051] Technical advantages:
[0052] High-efficiency heat dissipation: The combination of the heat exchanger and the auxiliary heat dissipation device improves heat dissipation efficiency, ensuring that the equipment works at an appropriate temperature.
[0053] Compact structure: Utilizing the flow of clean gas for heat dissipation eliminates the need for additional cooling systems, saving space.
[0054] Energy-saving and environmentally friendly: Reduces power consumption and lowers energy costs.
[0055] Further, the auxiliary heat dissipation device is a heat sink or heat pipe installed on the electrical components.
[0056] Working principle:
[0057] The heat sink increases the surface area of the electrical components, and the heat pipe uses the principle of evaporation and condensation of liquid to accelerate heat conduction. Both can effectively transfer the heat generated by the electrical components to the surrounding clean gas, working with the heat exchanger to achieve rapid heat dissipation.
[0058] Technical advantages:
[0059] Significant heat dissipation effect: Direct heat dissipation from the heat source improves heat dissipation efficiency.
[0060] Prolong the service life of components: Reduce the working temperature of electrical components and reduce the failure caused by overheating.
[0061] Easy to install: Heat sinks and heat pipes are small in size and easy to install on existing equipment.
[0062] Further, the clean gas is dry clean compressed air or nitrogen.
[0063] Working principle:
[0064] Dry clean compressed air or nitrogen as a gas supply medium, with no corrosion, high stability. Nitrogen also has inert, can further prevent the occurrence of oxidation reaction. Use these gases to maintain a positive pressure environment, to ensure the clean and stable environment in the control cabinet.
[0065] Technical advantages:
[0066] High safety: inert gas such as nitrogen does not support combustion, which improves the safety of the system.
[0067] Anti-oxidation: reduce the oxidation corrosion of oxygen on electrical components.
[0068] Cost control: compressed air is easy to obtain, nitrogen can be selected according to needs, high flexibility.
[0069] Further, the electrolysis control cabinet is also provided with a one-way exhaust valve for discharging excess gas when the internal pressure is too high.
[0070] Working principle:
[0071] When the internal pressure of the control cabinet exceeds the set safety range, the one-way exhaust valve automatically opens to release excess gas, preventing excessive pressure from damaging the control cabinet and internal components. The exhaust valve automatically closes when the pressure returns to normal, continuing to maintain a positive pressure environment.
[0072] Technical advantages:
[0073] Safety protection: prevent equipment damage and safety accidents caused by overpressure.
[0074] Automatic regulation: no manual intervention, the system automatically maintains pressure balance.

[0080] A sealing ring 13 is arranged below the oil storage groove 12 and has an inner diameter slightly larger than that of the friction surface 11.
[0081] In use, the sealing body 1 is tightly attached to the piston rod 3 to achieve dustproof and primary sealing.
