Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to an oil film bearing sealing device, concretely relates to an oil film bearing axial module combination multi-lip sealing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Bearing is an important part in contemporary mechanical equipment, its main function is to support the mechanical rotating body, reduce the friction coefficient in its movement process, and ensure its rotation precision. Like the function of conventional bearings, the oil film bearings used at both ends of the support roller of the rolling mill of the hot rolling line of the steel rolling mill can provide strong supporting force for the support roller and ensure that the roller can rotate efficiently and stably in the bearing seat. The normal work of the oil film bearing cannot be separated from a good lubrication environment. In addition to a reliable lubrication system, a good sealing device is also needed. The role of the sealing device is to prevent the lubricating oil in the bearing seat from leaking and to prevent external cooling water and iron oxide scale and other impurities from entering the bearing seat. Because the working environment of the rolling mill is very harsh, in addition to bearing heavy load and impact, a large amount of cooling water and iron oxide scale and other impurities also seriously threaten the safe operation of the oil film bearing. Therefore, the sealing device of the rolling mill oil film bearing plays a very important role in protecting the normal work of the oil film bearing.

[0003] The sealing device of the rolling mill oil film bearing in the prior art is arranged between the roller neck of the roller and the bearing seat and mainly consists of a sealing cover 1', a water seal 2', an aluminum ring 3', and a multi-limb sealing ring 4'. The sealing cover 1' is installed on the bearing seat 5', the water seal 2' is fixed relative to the bearing seat 5' and is installed on the sealing cover 1', the rubber lip of the water seal 2' is in contact with the end face of the roller 6' and moves relative to the end face, forming a dynamic sealing water prevention line. The multi-limb sealing ring 4' is sleeved on the conical surface of the roller neck of the roller 6' and rotates in the bushing 8' of the oil film bearing together with the roller under the axial positioning of the conical sleeve 7' of the oil film bearing and the aluminum ring 3'. At this time, the oil sealing lip 42' at the end of the oil sealing limb 41' of the multi-limb sealing ring 4' is in contact with the inner hole surface of the sealing cover 1', forming a dynamic sealing oil prevention line, and the water sealing lip 44' at the end of the water sealing limb 43' is in contact with the inner hole surface of the sealing cover 1', forming a dynamic sealing water prevention line. In addition, there is a partition plate 11' in the middle of the inner hole of the sealing cover 1', which separates the oil sealing limb 41' and the water sealing limb 43' on both sides of the partition plate.

[0004] The above-mentioned sealing device of the rolling mill oil film bearing has had a history of application for decades. With the continuous improvement of the technology of the rolling mill oil film bearing, the technical requirements for the sealing device are also getting higher and higher. The traditional multi-limb sealing structure has exposed many problems in actual application.

[0005] First, the multi-limb sealing ring is a rubber sealing ring with a complex cross-section shape, and after being extruded by the aluminum ring, the cone sleeve, the steel belt and the roll neck, the posture of the multi-limb sealing ring has great uncertainty, and the static sealing and dynamic sealing are easily failed, thereby affecting the sealing performance.

[0006] Second, the oil sealing lip and the water sealing lip of the multi-limb sealing ring only form one dynamic sealing oil prevention line and one dynamic sealing water prevention line in contact with the inner hole surface of the sealing cover, and the oil leakage and water ingress often occur in the complex working environment of the rolling mill.

[0007] Third, since there is a partition plate in the inner hole of the sealing cover, the oil sealing limb and the water sealing limb of the multi-limb sealing ring are separated on both sides of the partition plate, and the purpose is to divide the space into an oil sealing area and a water sealing area, and in fact, when the oil leaks or the water enters, the partition plate does not effectively block, and the installation of the multi-limb sealing ring is inconvenient, and the axial movement range of the sealing ring is limited. Technical problems solved by the utility model

[0008] The utility model solves the technical problems of providing an oil film bearing axial module combined multi-lip sealing device, which has a relatively stable posture during installation and use, and can obtain better sealing effect.

[0010] As an improvement to this utility model, the right side of the annular rubber sealing module A is vulcanized with an annular metal skeleton A, and metal positioning pins A are evenly distributed and fixed on the annular metal skeleton A. Correspondingly, the left side of the annular rubber sealing module B is evenly distributed and fixed with a metal sleeve B, and the right side is vulcanized with an annular metal skeleton B, and metal positioning pins B are evenly distributed and fixed on the annular metal skeleton B. Metal positioning pins C are evenly distributed and screwed onto the left annular surface of the conical sleeve. The right part of the metal positioning pin C is a stud screwed into the left annular surface of the conical sleeve, and the left part is an approximately frustum-shaped positioning section with positioning holes inside. The right side of the annular rubber sealing module C is vulcanized with an annular metal skeleton C, and positioning holes that match the shape of the left positioning section of the metal positioning pin C are evenly distributed and opened on the annular rubber sealing module C. Each positioning hole passes through the metal skeleton C. When the annular rubber sealing modules A, B, and C are arranged sequentially from left to right, the positioning segments of the left side of the metal positioning pins C, which are evenly spaced on the left annular surface of the cone sleeve, can be inserted into the positioning holes on the corresponding annular rubber sealing module C. The metal positioning pins B, which are evenly spaced on the right side of the annular rubber sealing module B, can be inserted into the positioning holes on the left side of the corresponding metal positioning pins C. The metal positioning pins A, which are evenly spaced on the right side of the annular rubber sealing module A, can be inserted into the metal sleeve B on the left side of the corresponding annular rubber sealing module B.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial technical effects: First, the inner surface of the sealing cover is an annular cylindrical surface, eliminating the need for a partition structure. This allows the annular rubber sealing device to better adapt to the axial movement of the roll. The annular rubber sealing device consists of annular rubber sealing module A, annular rubber sealing module B, and annular rubber sealing module C arranged sequentially from left to right. The structure of each rubber sealing module is significantly simplified compared to the multi-limb sealing ring structure in the prior art, making installation more convenient. Furthermore, the annular rubber sealing modules A, B, and C are axially positioned and connected without requiring... The steel band tightening significantly reduces the deformation of the rubber sealing module and better maintains its inherent posture, thus achieving a better sealing effect.

Thirdly, the axial positioning connection between annular rubber sealing modules A, B, and C in this invention is mainly achieved through the axial connection between the positioning pin and the hole, resulting in a simple structure and convenient installation.
