[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The above-displayed lifting and sealing structure for a fully rotating rudder propeller includes a sealing seat 5 and a lifting shaft 1. The sealing seat 5 is provided with a sealing cavity, which extends vertically through the sealing seat 5. The lifting shaft 1 passes through the sealing cavity, and the lifting shaft 1 and the sealing seat 5 are in sliding engagement.
[0025] A first sealing ring 3, a second sealing ring 4, a guide ring 13, and a third sealing ring 10 are installed between the lifting shaft 1 and the sealing seat 5, arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The first sealing ring 3, the second sealing ring 4, the guide ring 13, and the third sealing ring 10 are installed on the sealing seat 5, and the first sealing ring 3, the second sealing ring 4, the guide ring 13, and the third sealing ring 10 are all in sliding fit with the lifting shaft 1.
[0026] With this configuration, the three sealing rings in the above scheme form a triple sealing barrier between the sealing seat 5 and the lifting shaft 1, which can effectively prevent seawater from entering. The guide ring 13 has two functions: first, to guide the lifting shaft 1; and second, to withstand the thrust generated when the propeller is working, so as to prevent the displacement of the lifting shaft 1 from affecting the sealing effect.
[0027] In this embodiment, the first sealing ring 3, the second sealing ring 4, and the third sealing ring 10 are all Glyd rings. Glyd rings have excellent wear resistance, eliminating the need for frequent replacement or maintenance and reducing maintenance frequency.
[0028] In this embodiment, the guide ring 13 is a split guide ring, and the guide ring 13 is made of copper alloy material; it is corrosion resistant, high temperature resistant, self-lubricating and has good friction performance.
[0029] In this embodiment, the sealing seat 5 is provided with an oil supply and lubrication structure that supplies oil to the sealing ring and the guide ring 13.

The oil cup 2 is mounted on the sealing seat 5, and the oil passage is located on the sealing seat 5. The oil cup 2 and the lubrication groove are connected through the oil passage. The grease stored in the oil cup 2 can enter the lubrication groove through the oil passage. The grease entering the lubrication groove directly contacts the outer wall of the lifting shaft 1, and the grease can also lubricate the sealing ring and guide ring 13 through the gap between the sealing seat 5 and the lifting shaft 1. In this way, by periodically adding grease to the oil cup 2, the sealing performance and durability of the sealing structure can be further improved.
[0031] Preferably, there are two lubrication grooves, both of which are connected to the oil passage; the first lubrication groove is located between the first sealing ring 3 and the second sealing ring 4, and the second sealing groove is located between the guide ring 13 and the third sealing ring 10. This ensures that the guide ring 13 and each sealing ring receive sufficient and effective lubrication, thereby improving the sealing performance and lifespan of the sealing structure.
[0032] In this embodiment, an annular cutting edge 14 is provided below the sealing seat 5, and the lifting shaft 1 extends from the cutting edge 14. When the lifting shaft 1 moves upward, the cutting edge 14 can remove marine deposits from the outer surface of the lifting shaft 1, while preventing the marine deposits from damaging the sealing ring and guide ring 13. This keeps the outer wall of the lifting shaft 1 clean, making the sealing performance of the sealing structure more stable and extending the service life of the sealing structure. More preferably, the cutting edge of the cutting edge 14 is hardened to HRC50 or higher; the cutting edge angle b of the cutting edge 14 is 45°.
[0033] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the sealing cavity in the sealing seat 5 is provided with a first mounting groove, a second mounting groove, a third mounting groove and a fourth mounting groove, which are arranged sequentially from top to bottom, with the fourth mounting groove protruding from the bottom of the sealing seat 5; the first sealing ring 3 is installed in the first mounting groove, the second sealing ring 4 is installed in the second mounting groove, the guide ring 13 is installed in the third mounting groove, the third sealing ring 10 is installed in the fourth mounting groove, the sealing pressure plate 7 is fixed to the bottom of the sealing seat 5 by the first bolt 8, and the sealing pressure plate 7 fixes the third sealing ring 10 in the fourth mounting groove, the lifting shaft 1 passes through the sealing pressure plate 7, and the cutting edge 14 is provided on the sealing pressure plate 7.
[0034] In this embodiment, a connecting portion protrudes from the outer circumferential surface of the sealing seat 5. The bottom of the sealing seat 5 is inserted into the through hole of the base 9. The connecting portion of the sealing seat 5 presses against the base 9. The connecting portion and the base 9 are fixedly connected by a second bolt 12. A washer 11 is fitted on the head of the second bolt, and the head of the second bolt is pressed tightly against the connecting portion by the washer. Furthermore, a fourth sealing ring 6, which is an O-ring, is provided between the connecting portion and the base 9. During operation, the lifting shaft 1 moves up and down. The portion of the lifting shaft 1 below the base 9 extends into the seawater, and the portion of the lifting shaft 1 above the base 9 is the compartment.
