Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gasket technology, specifically a composite shaft gasket. Background Technology
[0002] Shaft shims are key functional components installed between rotating shafts and bearings / housings. They are mainly responsible for force transmission: uniformly distributing axial loads; vibration control: attenuating mechanical vibrations from 20 to 2000 Hz; and clearance compensation. Although small, shaft shims are key factors affecting the reliability, accuracy, and energy efficiency of rotating machinery.
[0003] Existing shaft gaskets have a simple structure and mostly use homogeneous materials (such as pure copper sheets or ordinary rubber). They cannot achieve both wear resistance and cushioning. There are also two-layer composite shaft gaskets, which are prone to delamination during use. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] Furthermore, the composite layer includes a steel wire layer one, a silicone rubber layer one, a silicone rubber layer two, and a steel wire layer two; a silicone rubber layer one and a silicone rubber layer two are disposed between the steel wire layer one and the steel wire layer two.
[0008] Furthermore, the first silicone rubber layer and the second silicone rubber layer adopt a honeycomb structure, and the honeycomb pore size of the first silicone rubber layer is larger than that of the second silicone rubber layer.
[0009] Furthermore, there are four of each of the first and second protrusions, and the cross-sections of the first and second protrusions adopt a fan-shaped structure; the number and shape of the first groove are the same as those of the first protrusion, and the number and shape of the second groove are the same as those of the second protrusion.
[0010] Furthermore, the wear-resistant surface layer, the composite layer, and the bottom layer have openings at their centers. The thickness of the wear-resistant surface layer is 0.1-0.3 mm; the thickness of the composite layer is 0.5-2.0 mm; and the thickness of the bottom layer is 1.0-2.5 mm.
[0011] Furthermore, the surface of the wear-resistant layer is fish-scale shaped, and an oil reservoir is formed on the surface of the wear-resistant layer; a connecting annular groove and a vertical groove are formed on the surface of the wear-resistant layer, and the oil reservoir is connected to the annular groove through the vertical groove.
[0012] Furthermore, the cross-section of the oil storage tank has a small top diameter and a large bottom diameter, and the oil storage tank is arranged in a circular array of four.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model include:
[0014] The composite shaft gasket of this invention has a wear-resistant surface layer, a composite layer and a bottom layer connected by protrusions and grooves, and the layers are further reinforced by welding and other methods. This can increase the torque force between the composite shaft gaskets and prevent the gaskets from delaminating during use.
[0015] The composite layer, consisting of steel wire, two layers of silicone rubber, and steel wire, enhances axial stiffness and radial flexibility, effectively improving impact resistance and vibration suppression. The upper silicone rubber layer absorbs impact energy through the collapse of its large-pore structure, while the lower silicone rubber layer stores energy through elastic deformation using its small-pore structure. The upper silicone rubber layer provides initial contact buffering, while the lower silicone rubber layer provides subsequent load-bearing support. Therefore, the wear resistance and buffering performance of this invention are greatly improved. Attached Figure Description

[0021] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.
[0022] A composite shaft washer, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a wear-resistant surface layer 1, a composite layer 3, and a bottom layer 6. The bottom end of the wear-resistant surface layer 1 protrudes outward to form multiple protrusions 2 arranged in a ring array. The wear-resistant surface layer 1 is exemplarily made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The bottom layer 6 is made of titanium alloy; however, it is not limited to this. The top surface of the composite layer 3 has multiple grooves 4, and the protrusions 2 are adapted to the grooves 4. The bottom surface of the composite layer 3 has multiple protrusions 5, and the top surface of the bottom layer 6 has multiple grooves 7, which are adapted to the protrusions 5. For example, there are four protrusions 2 and 5. The wear-resistant surface layer 1, the composite layer 3, and the bottom layer 6 are connected by the cooperation of the protrusions and grooves, and the layers are further reinforced by welding or other methods. This increases the torque force between the composite shaft gaskets and prevents delamination during use.
[0023] The composite layer 3 includes a steel wire layer 31, a silicone rubber layer 32, a silicone rubber layer 33, and a steel wire layer 34; for example... Figure 3 As shown, a silicone rubber layer 32 and a silicone rubber layer 33 are provided between the first steel wire layer 31 and the second steel wire layer 34.

[0050] IV. Performance Comparison with Single-Layer Structures
[0051] Test Project Pure silicone layer This composite structure Increase Ultimate load capacity 20MPa 85MPa +325% Vibration attenuation rate 40% 75% +88% Temperature stability -30~120℃ -60~250℃ +110% Wear rate <![CDATA[5.2×10 -6 mm 3 / Nm]]> <![CDATA[0.8×10 -6 mm 3 / Nm]]> -85%
[0052] In this invention, the first silicone rubber layer 32 and the second silicone rubber layer 33 adopt a honeycomb structure, and the honeycomb pore size of the first silicone rubber layer 32 is larger than that of the second silicone rubber layer 33. The upper silicone rubber layer 32 absorbs impact energy through the collapse of its large-pore structure (energy absorption rate 60-70%), while the lower silicone rubber layer 33 stores energy through elastic deformation of its small-pore structure (resilience rate > 90%). Combined performance: total energy absorption density reaches 18-25 J / cm³. 3 (40% improvement over uniform structure); Silicone rubber layer 1 32 (pore size 1.5-3mm): compression modulus 1-2MPa, to achieve initial contact buffer; Lower silicone rubber layer 2 33 pore size (0.5-1mm): compression modulus 3-5MPa to provide later load-bearing support.
[0053] Each of the following structures has four protrusions: 2 and 5, and the cross-sections of 2 and 5 are fan-shaped. The number and shape of the first groove 4 are the same as those of the first protrusion 2, and the number and shape of the second groove 7 are the same as those of the second protrusion 5. This increases the contact area during layer-by-layer connection and increases the torque force.
[0054] The wear-resistant surface layer 1, the composite layer 3, and the bottom layer 6 have openings at their centers. The thickness of the wear-resistant surface layer 1 is 0.1-0.3 mm; the thickness of the composite layer 3 is 0.5-2.0 mm; and the thickness of the bottom layer 6 is 1.0-2.5 mm.
[0055] To increase wear resistance, the surface of the wear-resistant surface layer 1 is fish-scale shaped. To achieve good lubrication, oil reservoirs 13 are formed on the surface of the wear-resistant surface layer 1. The surface of the wear-resistant surface layer 1 also has interconnected annular grooves 11 and vertical grooves 12, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the oil storage tank 13 is connected to the annular groove 11 through the vertical groove 12. The cross-section of the oil storage tank 13 has a small top diameter and a large bottom diameter, and four oil storage tanks 13 are arranged in a circular array; the lubricating oil in the oil storage tank 13 lubricates the surface of the gasket through the annular groove 11 and the vertical groove 12.
