Abstract

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the described embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. It is understood that, without conflict, some technical means of the various embodiments described herein can be substituted for or combined with each other.
[0021] In the description of this utility model, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. Therefore, objects specified with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of those objects. Furthermore, the words "one" or "a" do not indicate a quantity limitation, but rather indicate the presence of at least one, while "multiple" indicates at least two.
[0022] In the description of this utility model, references to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" mean that one or more embodiments of the utility model include the specific features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment. Therefore, the phrases "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "other embodiments," "and other embodiments," etc., appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.
[0023] This utility model provides a skeleton oil seal, as shown in the reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the skeleton oil seal 10 includes an annular rubber body 11 and a skeleton 12 embedded inside the rubber body 11. The rubber body 11 has an inner wall surface 111 and an outer wall surface 112 disposed opposite to each other. The inner wall surface 111 is provided with a first sealing lip 113 and a second sealing lip 114. Each sealing lip has a cross-section with a first side, a second side, and a sealing edge. The sealing edge is connected between the first side and the second side. The first side, the second side, and the sealing edge are all inclined to the same side of the axial direction of the skeleton oil seal 10. Taking the first sealing lip 113 as an example, the cross-section of the first sealing lip 113 has a first side 1131, a second side 1132, and a sealing edge 1133. The sealing edge 1133 is connected between the first side 1131 and the second side 1132. The angle A1 between the first side and the central axis of the skeleton oil seal 10 is 70° to 80°, the angle A2 between the second side and the central axis of the skeleton oil seal 10 is 40° to 60°, and the angle A3 between the sealing edge and the central axis of the skeleton oil seal 10 is 15° to 20°.
[0024] The aforementioned skeleton oil seal 10 adopts a double-lip sealing structure, which can effectively block the leakage of internal lubricating medium and prevent the intrusion of external contaminants in application. Each sealing lip has three sides with different included angles to the central axis of the skeleton oil seal 10. The first side, the second side, and the sealing edge are all inclined to the same axial side of the skeleton oil seal 10, and the sealing edge and the central axis of the skeleton oil seal 10 are designed with a small angle. When the skeleton oil seal 10 is interference-fitted onto a shaft or other components, it can reduce frictional torque and reduce assembly difficulty. At the same time, after interference fitting, the sealing edge structure can self-deform, thereby better fitting the shaft or other components, reducing stress concentration, and improving assembly quality and sealing performance.
[0025] In some preferred embodiments, the rubber body 11 further has a first end face 115 and a second end face 116 disposed opposite to each other, the first end face 115 and the second end face 116 being perpendicular to the central axis of the skeleton oil seal 10. An arc-shaped sealing portion 1151 is provided on the first end face 115, the surface of which protrudes beyond the first end face 115. The arc-shaped sealing portion 1151 can be used to tightly fit with other lateral components, enhancing sealing performance.
[0026] In some preferred embodiments, the skeleton 12 has an L-shaped cross-section, which includes a first support 121 and a second support 122 that are perpendicular to each other. The first support 121 is parallel to the outer wall surface 112, and the second support 122 is parallel to the second end face 116, with the side of the second support 122 away from the first end face 115 exposed on the second end face 116. The skeleton 12 provides the necessary support and stability for the skeleton oil seal 10, ensuring that the skeleton oil seal maintains its shape and tension under various operating conditions.
[0027] Furthermore, the connection between the first support 121 and the second support 122 is an arc-shaped corner, which can avoid stress concentration caused by vertical transition and extend the service life of the frame 12.
[0028] Furthermore, the connection between the first sealing lip 113 and the second sealing lip 114 is an arc-shaped corner, which can optimize mechanical properties, avoid stress concentration, thereby preventing fatigue cracking of the rubber material and extending the service life of the skeleton oil seal 10.
[0029] In some preferred embodiments, the included angle A1 between the first side and the central axis of the skeleton oil seal 10 is 78°, the included angle A2 between the second side and the central axis of the skeleton oil seal 10 is 50°, and the included angle A3 between the sealing edge and the central axis of the skeleton oil seal 10 is 18°. This better reduces frictional torque and simplifies assembly; simultaneously, after interference fit, the sealing edge structure can adaptively deform, thereby better fitting the shaft or other components, reducing stress concentration, and improving assembly quality and sealing performance. Of course, this invention is not limited to these embodiments; in other embodiments, the included angles between the first side, the second side, the sealing edge, and the central axis of the skeleton oil seal 10 can also be other suitable angles.
[0030] In some preferred embodiments, the rubber body 11 is made of vulcanized nitrile rubber, which has excellent oil resistance, abrasion resistance, heat resistance and airtightness, which can ensure the reliability of the skeleton oil seal 10 in application and extend the service life of the skeleton oil seal 10.
[0031] Furthermore, the skeleton 12 is made of cold-rolled steel, which has good yield strength and creep resistance, and can provide good support for the skeleton oil seal 10, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the skeleton oil seal 10.
[0032] This utility model's skeleton oil seal adopts a double-lip sealing structure, which can effectively block the leakage of internal lubricating medium and prevent the intrusion of external contaminants. Each sealing lip has three sides with different included angles to the central axis of the skeleton oil seal, and the sealing edge is designed with a small angle to the central axis of the skeleton oil seal. When the skeleton oil seal is interference-fitted onto a shaft or other component, it can reduce frictional torque and simplify assembly. Simultaneously, after interference fitting, the sealing edge structure can self-deform, thereby better fitting the shaft or other component, reducing stress concentration, and improving assembly quality and sealing performance.
[0033] This utility model has been described by the above-described embodiments; however, these embodiments are merely examples for implementing this utility model. It must be noted that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of this utility model. Conversely, any modifications and refinements made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model are within the scope of patent protection of this utility model.
