[0035] Referring to Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a commercial vehicle wheel hub-type oil seal suitable for high load and high speed conditions, including an outer oil seal assembly 2 and an inner oil seal assembly 1.

[0036] See Figure 3 As shown, the inner oil seal assembly 1 includes an inner oil seal skeleton 11 and an inner oil seal rubber body 12. The inner oil seal skeleton 11 has a U-shaped cross-section, including a bottom wall 111. The proximal end of the bottom wall 111 is bent upward to form a first side wall 112, and the distal end of the bottom wall 111 is bent upward to form a second side wall 113. The bottom wall 111, the first side wall 112, and the second side wall 113 form a cavity. The inner surface roughness of the first side wall 112 reaches Ra0.2-Ra0.8 (by turning), and the surface quality meets the requirements of the rotating shaft. Specifically, the upper end of the first side wall 112 is bent inward to form a flange 115. The inner oil seal skeleton 11 is made of high-strength steel SAPH 440 and does not require heat treatment.

[0037] The inner oil seal rubber body 12 is located on the outer side of the first side wall 112, and the inner oil seal rubber body 12 is provided with a first large wave-shaped sealing rib 121 along the circumference for easy installation; specifically, the inner oil seal rubber body 12 is provided with 60-90 equal flanges 122 along the axial direction to increase rotational friction and prevent sliding with the shaft.

[0038] See Figure 4 As shown, the outer oil seal assembly 2 includes an outer oil seal skeleton 21, a first outer oil seal rubber body 22, a second outer oil seal rubber body 23, and a third outer oil seal rubber body 24.

[0039] See Figure 5 As shown, the outer oil seal skeleton 21 includes a first horizontal side 211 located in the cavity. The distal end of the first horizontal side 211 bends upward and extends to form a first vertical side 212. The upper end of the first vertical side 212 extends outward and bends horizontally to form a second horizontal side 213. The distal end of the second horizontal side 213 bends upward and extends to form a second vertical side 214. The upper end of the second vertical side 214 bends outward at an angle to form a sloping side 215. The upper end of the sloping side 215 bends upward to form a third vertical side 216. The height of the third vertical side 216 is higher than that of the first sidewall 112. A guide surface 217 is provided at the upper end of the third vertical side 216 to reduce the springback phenomenon after the oil seal is assembled.

[0040] See Figure 6As shown, the lower outer side of the first outer oil seal rubber body 22 wraps around the proximal end of the first transverse side 211, and the upper inner side of the first outer oil seal rubber body 22 is provided with an oil seal lip 221 for abutting against the inner side of the first sidewall 112. The lower inner side of the first outer oil seal rubber body 22 is provided with a secondary lip 222 for abutting against the inner side of the first sidewall 112, and the inner side of the secondary lip 222 is provided with 6-8 equally spaced protrusions 225 to prevent a vacuum from forming between the main and secondary lips, thus preventing oil leakage caused by pumping oil to the air side. Specifically, the upper outer side of the first outer oil seal rubber body 22 is provided with a limiting groove 224, and an oil seal spring 25 is installed in the limiting groove 224 to provide a permanent radial force to the oil seal lip. The portion of the first outer oil seal rubber body 22 located on the bottom surface of the first transverse side 211 is provided with a first side lip 223.

[0041] The second outer oil seal rubber body 23 covers the outer side wall of the first vertical side 212, and the lower end of the second outer oil seal rubber body 23 extends to the bottom surface of the first horizontal side 211; specifically, the part of the second outer oil seal rubber body 23 located on the bottom surface of the first horizontal side 211 is provided with a second side lip 231, which together with the first side lip 223 forms multiple anti-mud and water lips to improve the resistance to mud and water.

[0042] The third outer oil seal rubber body 24 covers the outer wall of the second vertical side 214 and the bottom surface of the second horizontal side 213. The portion of the third outer oil seal rubber body 24 located on the second vertical side 214 has a second large wave-shaped sealing rib 241 arranged circumferentially for easy installation. Specifically, the portion of the third outer oil seal rubber body 24 located on the bottom surface of the second horizontal side 213 has a retaining groove 242. A sealing ring 4 made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is installed inside the retaining groove 242. Its frictional torque during movement is very small, reducing the influence of axial stress on torque. The sealing ring not only prevents the entry of external mud and sand but also transfers force from the inner oil seal to the outer oil seal to ensure the successful installation of the oil seal assembly. The upper end of the second side wall 113 extends into the retaining groove 242 and abuts against the sealing ring 4. The second outer oil seal rubber body 23 and the third outer oil seal rubber body 24 are an integral structure.

[0043] The sealing lip does not directly contact the shaft surface: This design reduces the machining requirements of the shaft, simplifies the machining process, and reduces the maintenance cost of the equipment; filling the space between the sealing lip and the shaft with grease provides stable sealing performance and reduces friction and energy consumption; no special treatment is required for the rotating shaft or specific opposing interfaces, installation is simple, the sealing lip will not be damaged, it can be used in harsh working environments, and is particularly suitable for high-load and high-speed conditions.

[0044] See Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, it also includes a connecting frame 3. The upper inner side of the first sidewall 112 is provided with a mounting groove 114. The connecting frame 3 includes a horizontal part 31. The proximal end of the horizontal part 31 is inserted into the mounting groove 114, and the distal end of the horizontal part 31 is bent downward and extended to form a vertical part 32.

[0045] The assembly method of this utility model is as follows:

[0046] The inner oil seal rubber body and the inner oil seal skeleton are molded and vulcanized into a whole using a mold, and then machined.

[0047] The outer oil seal rubber body and the outer oil seal skeleton are molded and vulcanized together, followed by two-stage vulcanization, lip cutting, cleaning, and spring fitting.

[0048] After the sealing ring is installed into the outer oil seal assembly, oil is applied, then the inner oil seal assembly and connecting skeleton are installed, and finally all parts are connected together by rolling.
