[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a sealing structure for an oil pump, including an oil pump body 1, a connecting cover 2 provided at the bottom end of the oil pump body 1, a sealing mechanism 3 for increasing sealing between the oil pump body 1 and the connecting cover 2, and a plurality of fastening bolts 4 that penetrate the connecting cover 2 are fixedly connected in a ring array to the outer side wall of the oil pump body 1.
[0027] It should be noted that the annular array of fastening bolts 4 on the outer wall of the oil pump body 1 not only provides uniform clamping force, but also achieves a firm connection between the two by penetrating the connecting cover 2. This connection method not only enhances the overall stability of the sealing structure, but also facilitates subsequent maintenance and disassembly, ensuring the reliability and durability of the oil pump body 1 in long-term use. The sealing mechanism 3 and the fastening bolts 4 form a complementary sealing and fixing system. The sealing mechanism 3 ensures the sealing of the oil pump, while the fastening bolts 4 further consolidate this sealing effect through physical tightening.
[0028] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the sealing mechanism 3 includes a sealing plate 31 disposed between the connecting cover 2 and the oil pump body 1. The end of the sealing plate 31 is integrally formed with a protrusion 311. The ends of the two protrusions 311 are fixedly connected with elastic sealing gaskets 312 that can deform. An upper mounting bracket 32 is fixedly connected inside the oil pump body 1. A lower mounting bracket 33 is fixedly connected to the inner top of the connecting cover 2. Both the upper mounting bracket 32 and the lower mounting bracket 33 have an inner groove 34. The protrusions 311 are inserted into the inner groove 34, and the elastic sealing gaskets 312 are sealed and connected inside the inner groove 34.
[0029] It should be noted that the elastic sealing gasket 312, as a key component in the sealing mechanism 3, is designed with materials that ensure it can deform appropriately under pressure, fitting tightly against the wall of the inner groove 34. This deformation sealing mechanism not only effectively prevents oil leakage but also adapts to the small displacements and vibrations generated by the oil pump under different operating conditions, maintaining the durability and stability of the sealing effect. The protrusion 311 at the end of the sealing plate 31 achieves precise insertion and engagement with the inner groove 34 inside the upper mounting bracket 32 and the lower mounting bracket 33. This not only simplifies the installation process and ensures the accurate installation position of the sealing mechanism 3 but also enhances the overall stability of the sealing structure through physical locking. The tight fit between the protrusion 311 and the inner groove 34 further improves the sealing effect and prevents oil leakage.
[0030] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an oil-blocking protrusion 36 is fixedly connected to the side of the upper mounting bracket 32 opposite to the lower mounting bracket 33. Oil drain grooves 35 that cooperate with the oil-blocking protrusions 36 are provided on both the upper and lower end faces of the sealing plate 31. Adhesive grooves 313 are provided on the side of the upper mounting bracket 32 opposite to the lower mounting bracket 33 and on both the upper and lower end faces of the sealing plate 31 near the protrusion 311. The interior of the adhesive grooves 313 is filled with sealant to increase the sealing performance.
[0031] It should be noted that the oil-blocking protrusion 36 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the upper mounting bracket 32 and the lower mounting bracket 33, forming a clever cooperation with the oil drain grooves 35 opened on the upper and lower end faces of the sealing plate 31. When the oil pump is running, if a small amount of oil seeps into the vicinity of the sealing mechanism 3, the oil-blocking protrusion 36 can effectively block the direct leakage path of the oil, while the oil drain groove 35 provides a channel to guide the oil out, avoiding the accumulation of oil between the sealing plate 31 and the mounting bracket, thereby reducing the risk of oil leakage. The sealant is filled in the glue grooves 313 opened on the opposite side of the upper mounting bracket 32 and the lower mounting bracket 33 and on the upper and lower end faces of the sealing plate 31 near the protrusion 311. This design further improves the sealing performance of the sealing mechanism 3.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fastening bolt 4 passes through the end face of the sealing plate 31 and the connecting cover 2, and several fastening nuts 5 are provided at the bottom of the connecting cover 2, which are threadedly connected to the fastening bolt 4. The inner diameter of the sealing plate 31 is the same as the inner diameter of the upper mounting bracket 32 and the lower mounting bracket 33, and the outer diameter of the sealing plate 31 is the same as the end face size of the connecting cover 2.
[0033] It should be noted that the fastening bolt 4 passes through the sealing plate 31 and the connecting cover 2, and is threadedly connected to the fastening nut 5 located at the bottom of the connecting cover 2. This not only ensures a tight fit between the sealing plate 31, the connecting cover 2 and the oil pump body 1, but also enhances the stability of the entire sealing structure through a physical locking mechanism. During the operation of the oil pump, the fastening bolt 4 and the fastening nut 5 can effectively resist the loosening tendency caused by vibration and impact, and maintain the durability of the sealing effect.
[0034] Working Principle: Between the oil pump body 1 and the connecting cover 2, the sealing mechanism 3 aims to fundamentally solve the problem of oil leakage, thereby extending the service life of the oil pump body 1. This seal is achieved by inserting an elastic sealing gasket 312 and a protruding block 311 into two inner grooves 34. When the elastic sealing gasket 312 enters the inner groove 34, its material properties allow it to deform appropriately, tightly adhering to the wall of the inner groove 34, effectively preventing oil penetration. Furthermore, to further enhance the sealing effect, adhesive grooves 313 are formed on the opposite sides of the upper mounting bracket 32 and lower mounting bracket 33, as well as on the upper and lower end faces of the sealing plate 31 near the protruding block 311. These grooves are filled with sealant. After curing, the sealant forms a tough and elastic sealing layer, further tightly connecting the sealing plate 31 to the upper mounting bracket 32 and lower mounting bracket 33, thus improving sealing performance. This design also enhances the structural connectivity, ensuring the stability and reliability of the oil pump during operation. The oil-blocking protrusions 36 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the upper mounting bracket 32 and the lower mounting bracket 33, respectively. The upper and lower end faces of the sealing plate 31 are provided with oil drain grooves 35 that cooperate with the oil-blocking protrusions 36. When the sealing plate 31 covers the top of the oil-blocking protrusions 36 on the lower mounting bracket 33 and connects with the oil-blocking protrusions 36 at the lower end of the upper mounting bracket 32, the three form a tight contact. Since both the oil-blocking protrusions 36 and the oil drain grooves 35 adopt a trapezoidal design, this structure not only increases the contact area and improves the sealing effect, but also effectively blocks the seepage path of the oil. Even if a small amount of oil seeps into this area, it will be blocked by the barrier formed by the oil-blocking protrusions 36 and the oil drain grooves 35, and guided to a safe area through the oil drain grooves 35, thus avoiding oil leakage and ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the oil pump.
