DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The utility model will be further described in connection with the drawings:

[0019] Refer to the attached Figures 1-3 ​​In this embodiment, a hub oil seal structure includes a support framework 1, an inner oil seal 2 and an outer oil seal 3. The inner oil seal 2 is arranged on the inner side of the support framework 1, and the purpose of the inner oil seal 2 is to seal the lubricating oil in the cavity. The support framework 1 is made of aluminum alloy material, which has strong strength and toughness. The outer oil seal 3 is arranged on the outer side of the support framework 1, and the purpose of the outer oil seal 3 is to seal the impurities such as dust and water outside the cavity. The lower end of the outer oil seal 3 is movably connected with a main lip 7. The lower end of the main lip 7 is fixedly connected with a first secondary lip 8. The lowermost end of the main lip 7 is fixedly connected with a second secondary lip 10. The front end of the second secondary lip 10 is fixedly provided with a fitting groove 11.

[0020] The new oil seal structure increases a second secondary lip 10 on the basis of the original structure. A plurality of annular grooves 12 are arranged on the second secondary lip 10. Grease 5 is injected into a lubricating cavity 13 between the first secondary lip 8 and the second secondary lip 10. The second secondary lip 10 is in an interference state with the shaft of the hub. The grease 5 ensures the lubrication between the rubber main lip 7 and the shaft, reduces wear and heat generation. When the outermost annular groove 12 is worn after a period of use, the other rear annular grooves 12 will be sequentially fitted on the shaft, so that they are always closely fitted together with the shaft, thereby greatly enhancing the protection performance of the oil seal and greatly improving the service life of the oil seal.

[0021] The inner side of the plurality of fitting grooves 11 is movably connected with the annular grooves 12. The front end of the first secondary lip 8 is movably connected with a sealing groove 9. The first secondary lip 8 and the second secondary lip 10 are fixedly provided with the lubricating cavity 13. The lubricating cavity 13 is provided with the grease 5.
