Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic equipment sealing technology, and in particular to a pressure relief sealing device for a large hydraulic cylinder piston rod. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the side cylinder of a 30MN hydraulic press used in the production of large hydraulic cylinders for metal extrusion presses has dimensions of φ320mm / φ220mm×1700mm. In existing metal extrusion press hydraulic cylinders, the cylinder body and piston rod are connected by three PTFE-filled guide strips to bear the cylinder pressure, with two step seals providing sealing. During production, if the guide strips wear out, and the first step seal experiences slight wear, the cylinder pressure is transmitted to the second step seal, which then breaks. This leads to frequent dynamic seal leakage or seepage at the cylinder head. Once hydraulic oil leakage occurs at the cylinder head, the hydraulic press must be shut down for maintenance, affecting or damaging the piston rod. The maintenance is time-consuming, wasteful of energy and media, and pollutes the environment. Furthermore, maintenance requires complex technical methods and a complete set of sealing spare parts, increasing the overall equipment operating cost. In view of these reasons, a pressure-reducing and sealing device for the piston rod of a large hydraulic cylinder is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to solve the problem that the sealing system of hydraulic cylinders in existing metal extrusion presses is prone to sealing failure and leakage due to wear of the guide belt and step seal. It provides a large hydraulic cylinder piston rod pressure reducing and sealing device. Through the double sealing structure design of the inner sealing group and the outer sealing group, combined with the setting of the seepage collection groove and the oil return pressure reducing port, the sealing performance and service life of the hydraulic cylinder are significantly improved.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a large hydraulic cylinder piston rod pressure reducing and sealing device, which comprises: a cylinder body, an O-ring, a cylinder head flange, a gland groove, a V-type combined sealing ring groove, a copper sleeve groove, flange bolts, a piston rod, a dustproof ring, a V-type combined sealing ring, a copper sleeve, an FI guide ring, an adjusting shim, a step seal, gland bolts, a gland, a dustproof groove, a step seal groove, an FI guide groove, an oil seepage collection groove, and an oil return pressure reducing port; a piston rod is installed in the cylinder body, and a piston is installed at the end of the piston rod; a hydraulic chamber is reserved between the cylinder body and the piston rod, and hydraulic oil is installed in the hydraulic chamber; a cylinder head flange is installed in the cylinder mouth of the cylinder body, and the cylinder head flange is divided into two sections, one section of the cylinder head flange is a flange plate, and the other section of the cylinder head flange is a cylinder head inner sleeve; two O-ring grooves are reserved on the outer side of the cylinder head inner sleeve, and an O-ring is installed between the O-ring groove of the cylinder head inner sleeve and the cylinder body; flange bolts are evenly distributed between the flange plate and the cylinder mouth wall of the cylinder body.

[0005] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0006] A piston rod is installed in the cylinder head flange. A gland, a V-shaped combination seal ring, and a copper sleeve are installed between the cylinder head flange and the piston rod, respectively. Three annular grooves are reserved in the stepped segment of the cylinder head flange. The three annular grooves are respectively set as gland grooves, V-shaped combination seal ring grooves, and copper sleeve grooves. A gland is installed in the gland groove, a V-shaped combination seal ring is installed in the V-shaped combination seal ring groove, and a copper sleeve is installed in the copper sleeve groove.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] A piston rod is installed in the gland, and a dustproof ring, a step seal, and an FI guide ring are respectively installed between the gland and the piston rod. A dustproof groove, a step seal groove, an oil seepage collection groove, and an FI guide groove are reserved in sequence on the inner side of the gland. An oil return pressure relief port is reserved through one side of the gland wall and the oil seepage collection groove. A dustproof ring is installed in the dustproof groove, a step seal is installed in the step seal groove, and an FI guide ring is installed in the FI guide groove. Gland screws are evenly distributed between the edge of the gland body and the cylinder head flange. An adjusting shim is installed between one side of the gland and the platform of the gland groove. The V-type combined sealing ring, copper sleeve, and FI guide ring are set as the inner sealing group, the step seal and dustproof ring are set as the outer sealing group, the oil seepage collection groove and the oil return pressure relief port are set as the pressure relief buffer channel, and a return pipe is set between the oil return pressure relief port and the oil tank.

[0009] Working principle: During production, when hydraulic oil is continuously pressurized in the cylinder, it pushes the piston, causing the piston rod to move inward. Simultaneously, the hydraulic oil in the cylinder is sealed by a copper sleeve and a V-shaped combination seal ring. With repeated long-term operation, hydraulic oil adheres to the piston rod surface, forming an oil film. Initially, the friction between the piston rod and the copper sleeve and V-shaped combination seal ring creates a stable, small break-in gap. The oil film on the piston rod compensates for this gap. The oil film reduces friction through lubrication, forming a dynamic seal between the oil film on the piston rod and the gap between the copper sleeve and the V-shaped combination seal ring. This dynamic seal represents a stable sealing state under pressure within the cylinder. The dynamic seal increases the service life of the cylinder by more than 50%.

[0010] When the piston rod operates for a long time, and the frictional clearance between the piston rod and the copper sleeve and V-type combination seal ring wears and expands during the initial operation, it is manually tightened by the pressure cap screw. The FI guide ring squeezes the V-type combination seal ring, and the squeezed V-type combination seal ring expands inward and the inner hole shrinks. The gap between the inner hole of the V-type combination seal ring and the piston rod shrinks, and the oil film of the piston rod and the V-type combination seal ring recombine to form a dynamic seal. The dynamic seal further improves the cylinder service life by more than 30%.

[0011] During long-term operation of the piston rod in the cylinder, when the frictional clearance between the piston rod and the copper sleeve and V-type combined seal ring wears and expands again, the increased gap between the piston rod and the V-type combined seal ring causes oil to leak outwards, preventing the dynamic seal from forming. The leaked oil enters the seepage collection tank for collection and is discharged into the oil tank through the oil return pressure relief port. At the same time, the oil leaking in the cylinder is sealed by the step seal and dust ring of the outer sealing assembly, preventing oil leakage from the gland, and the step seal and dust ring are in a complete sealing state.

[0012] When oil backflow into the oil tank occurs continuously during cylinder operation, the cylinder needs to be shut down for maintenance. During cylinder maintenance, all gland screws on the gland are manually removed, the piston rod and its inner and outer sealing assemblies are manually removed, the copper sleeve and V-shaped combination seal ring are replaced, and the cylinder is restored and repaired on the outside. After cylinder maintenance, the above production operation state is resumed.

[0013] Beneficial Effects: This utility model features a double-seal structure consisting of an inner sealing group and an outer sealing group. It employs a combination of combined sealing and step seals, with an oil leakage collection groove designed between the two seals to protect the outer sealing group of the second seal. A dynamic seal is formed between the oil film on the piston rod and the gap between the copper sleeve and the V-shaped combined sealing ring. This dynamic seal increases the cylinder's service life by over 50%. When the frictional gap between the piston rod and the copper sleeve and V-shaped combined sealing ring wears and widens, manual tightening via the pressure cap screws causes the FI guide ring to compress the V-shaped combined sealing ring. The compressed V-shaped ring's inner hole shrinks, reforming the dynamic seal and further increasing the cylinder's service life by over 30%. When the first V-shaped combined sealing ring leaks or seeps oil, the seepage is collected in the oil leakage collection groove and flows directly back into the oil tank through the oil return pressure relief port. No pressure is generated between the two seals, effectively protecting the step seal of the outer sealing group. The step seal provides continuous sealing, effectively preventing cylinder head leakage, protecting the production environment, increasing the service life of large hydraulic cylinders, and reducing maintenance frequency.
