The inflation sealing ring is arranged in the sealing ring groove. The inflation sealing is completed by inflating the sealing ring groove through the inflation nozzle.
[0006] The inflation sealing ring is in dovetail shape. The outer surfaces of both sides are tightly fitted with the sealing ring groove. A recess is arranged in the middle of the upper surface. The lower surface is in contact with the lower fixing part.
[0007] In the inflated state, the middle part of the lower surface of the inflation sealing ring protrudes downward by 3-5 mm.
[0008] The connecting part is in ring structure. The inner wall surface is in contact with the outer surfaces of the upper fixing part and the lower fixing part. The upper part of the connecting part has a protrusion, which is arranged on the upper surface of the upper fixing part and connected with the upper fixing part. The lower part of the connecting part also has a protrusion, and a connecting column is arranged on the protrusion to connect with the lower fixing part.
[0009] The diameter of the through hole on the surface of the upper fastener is 5-10mm.

[0014] Figure 1 This is a front view of an inflatable sealing structure according to the present invention;
[0015] Figure 2 This is a top view of an inflatable sealing structure according to the present invention;
[0016] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the inflatable sealing ring of this utility model before and after inflation. Detailed Implementation
[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0018] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses an inflatable sealing structure for a propellant casting system, comprising an upper fixing member 1, a lower fixing member 2, a connecting member 3, an inflation nozzle 4, an inflatable sealing ring 5, and a sealing ring groove 6. The upper fixing member 1 and the lower fixing member 2 are respectively fixed to the component to be sealed, with the upper fixing member 1 pressing against the lower fixing member 2. The upper fixing member 1 and the lower fixing member 2 are connected by the connecting member 3. The sealing ring groove 6 is located on the lower surface of the upper fixing member 1, and the upper fixing member 1 has a through hole communicating with the sealing ring groove 6. The inflation nozzle 4 is installed in the through hole, and the inflatable sealing ring 5 is located within the sealing ring groove 6. Inflation is performed through the inflation nozzle 4 to fill the sealing ring groove 6, thus completing the seal. The diameter of the through hole is 5-10 mm. The inflatable sealing ring 5 is dovetail-shaped, with its outer surfaces on both sides tightly fitted to the sealing ring groove 6. A groove is provided in the middle of its upper surface, and its lower surface contacts the lower fixing member 2.
[0019] The connector 3 has a ring-shaped structure. Its inner wall surface is in contact with the outer surfaces of the upper fixing member 1 and the lower fixing member 2. The upper part of the connector 3 has a protrusion. The protrusion is located on the upper surface of the upper fixing member 1 and is connected to the upper fixing member 1. The lower part of the connector 3 also has a protrusion. A connecting post is provided on the protrusion and is connected to the lower fixing member 2.
[0020] The working principle is as follows: After the upper fixing part 1 and the lower fixing part 2 are positioned, they are locked together by the connecting part 3. Inflation is then performed through the air inlet 4 into the sealing ring groove 6. The increased pressure inside the sealing ring groove 6 causes the inflated sealing ring 5 to react. The middle part of the inflated sealing ring 5 expands outward by 3-5mm due to the pressure, tightly fitting against the lower fixing part 2, thus achieving a seal. When it is necessary to release the seal, the gas in the sealing ring groove 6 is discharged through the air inlet 4. The expanded part automatically retracts into the sealing ring groove 6, disengaging from the lower fixing part 2, thus releasing the seal. Figure 3 As shown.
[0021] In actual production, a crane is used to position the upper fixing part 1 and the lower fixing part 2. Then, the connecting part 3 is used to lock the upper fixing part 1 and the lower fixing part 2. After locking, the air supply line is connected to the air inlet 4, and compressed air is injected into the sealing ring groove 6 through the air supply line. The compressed air pressure is maintained at 0.6-0.8 MPa. The increased pressure inside the sealing ring groove 6 inflates the sealing ring 5, causing it to fit tightly against the lower fixing part 2, thus achieving a high-efficiency seal. After casting is completed, simply disconnect the air supply line from the air inlet 4. The air inlet 4 will automatically release the high-pressure gas in the sealing ring groove 6, separating it from the lower fixing part 2, thus releasing the seal.
[0022] The above description is only the best specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] The contents not described in detail in this utility model specification are common knowledge to those skilled in the art.
