Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sealing component testing technology, specifically to a lip seal static pressure resistance testing device. Background Technology

[0002] In pumps transporting various liquid media, pressure-resistant lip seals are typically used for dynamic media sealing at the power input end. If the seal fails, media leakage will not only reduce the transport pressure but also cause short circuits, motor damage, or shutdowns due to media flowing into the drive motor. Therefore, the sealing performance of the lip seal under high pressure is a crucial factor affecting the pump's function, service life, and reliability.

[0003] The sealing performance of lip seals under high pressure is highly dependent on their structural parameters. In addition to theoretical calculations, finished product testing is necessary to verify the correctness of the structural design, whether it meets technical requirements and target values. Currently, finished product testing is conducted directly on the delivery pump, which is time-consuming, costly, and results in slow feedback, often hindering the optimization and improvement of the structure in the short term.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a hydrostatic pressure testing device for lip seals that has a short testing cycle, low cost, and timely feedback of results. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hydrostatic pressure resistance test device for lip seals, so as to at least solve the problems of long cycle, high cost and slow feedback of current hydrostatic pressure resistance tests for lip seals.

[0016] Furthermore, the fastener is a screw, which is screwed into the threaded through hole and the threaded hole from top to bottom.

[0031] Example:

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a hydrostatic pressure resistance test device for lip seals, which is suitable for pressure resistance testing of lip seals 3. The device has a short test cycle, requires few resources, and is simple and easy to operate. The device includes an upper mold 1 and a lower mold 2. After the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are fitted together, a medium cavity 5 is formed inside. The lower mold 2 is connected to an external pressure medium source. The lip seal 3 is installed on the lower mold 2, and the lower end of the upper mold 1 is inserted into the inner diameter hole of the lip seal 3. The upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are fixed by a fixing component.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the upper mold 1 is inverted convex shape, and its lower end is the sealing shaft 4. The size and surface quality of the sealing shaft 4 are consistent with the actual mating shaft of the lip seal 3. After the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are fitted together, the sealing shaft 4 is inserted into the inner diameter hole of the lip seal 3, simulating the actual mating shaft of the lip seal 3.

[0034] Preferably, the diameter of the sealing shaft 4 is 12mm.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the lower mold 2 is concave and matches the inverted convex shape of the upper mold 1. The upper longitudinal section of the cavity inside the concave lower mold 2 is an inverted trapezoid, and the middle longitudinal section of the cavity is a rectangle. The lower part of the cavity is used to install the lip seal 3. The length of the bottom surface of the inverted trapezoid is the same as the length of the rectangle. Furthermore, the cavity of the inverted trapezoidal part of the lower mold 2 fits into the upper mold 1, so that the middle cavity forms the medium cavity 5.

[0036] In this embodiment, an oil seal mounting hole is provided in the lower part of the cavity of the lower mold 2. The size and surface quality of the oil seal mounting hole are consistent with the actual oil seal mounting hole. The oil seal mounting hole is used to install the lip seal 3 and is connected to the medium cavity 5.

[0037] Preferably, the diameter of the oil seal mounting hole is 22mm.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, after the lip seal 3 is installed in the oil seal mounting hole, the opening of the lip seal 3 faces the upper mold 1. Preferably, the inner diameter of the lip seal 3 is 12mm, the outer diameter is 22mm, and the height is 7mm.

[0039] A mounting groove is provided at the contact point between the upper end face of the lower mold 2 and the upper mold 1. The mounting groove is generally circular. In this embodiment, the longitudinal section of the mounting groove is rectangular. A sealing ring 6 is placed in the mounting groove. Figure 5 As shown, the sealing ring 6 is circular, and the longitudinal section of the sealing ring 6 is circular. The diameter of the sealing ring 6 is greater than the depth of the mounting groove and less than the width of the mounting groove, so that after the upper mold 1 closes, the sealing ring 6 is squeezed to fill the mounting groove and ensure the sealing performance.

[0040] Preferably, the sealing ring 6 has an inner diameter of 90mm, a wire diameter of 3.55mm, a mounting groove width of 4.8mm, a depth of 2.9mm, and an inner diameter of 90mm.

[0041] Specifically, a medium input pipe 8 is provided on one side of the lower mold 2. The medium input pipe 8 extends from the outer side wall of the lower mold 2 to the inner side wall and is connected to the medium cavity 5. The medium input pipe 8 is connected to an external pressure medium source, thereby delivering the pressure medium to the medium cavity 5.

[0042] The pressure medium is selected from air, lubricating oil, fuel oil, and hydraulic oil, and is the same as the actual medium used. The pressure of the pressure medium is adjusted by the pressure medium source.

[0043] In this embodiment, the upper mold 1 has six threaded through holes 9. In other embodiments, the number of screw through holes 9 may also be five, and is not limited thereto. Preferably, the diameter of the threaded through holes 9 is 6mm.

[0044] The lower mold 2 has six threaded holes 10 corresponding to the threaded through holes 9. The threaded holes 10 are located above the medium input pipe 8 and outside the sealing ring 6. Preferably, the diameter of the threaded holes 10 is M5.

[0045] In this embodiment, the fixing component is screw 7. Screw 7 is screwed into threaded through hole 9 and threaded hole 10 from top to bottom to fix upper mold 1 and lower mold 2. Preferably, screw 7 is an M5 screw.

[0046] In this embodiment, the upper outer edge of the upper mold 1 and the bottom edge of the lower sealing shaft 4 are both chamfered, and the upper and lower outer edges of the lower mold 2 are both chamfered.

[0047] In this embodiment, both the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are made of metal.

[0048] The experimental process in this embodiment is as follows:

[0049] Install the test piece lip seal 3 into the oil seal mounting hole of the lower mold 2, and place the sealing ring 6 into the mounting groove of the lower mold 2;

[0050] Assemble the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2. Insert the sealing shaft 4 of the upper mold 1 into the inner diameter hole of the lip seal 3. Screw the screw 7 into the threaded through hole 9 and the threaded hole 10 to connect the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2. Do not tighten the screw 7 yet, leaving a gap of 0.5mm.

[0051] Next, connect the medium input pipe 8 of the lower mold 2 to the pressure medium source, remove the air from the medium cavity 5, and then tighten the screw 7.

[0052] Adjust the medium pressure in stages from low to high (0 to 0.8 MPa), and maintain the pressure for 10 minutes in each stage. By adjusting the medium pressure and maintaining the pressure for a certain period of time, observe whether there is medium leakage or oil seal rubber extrusion at the sealing shaft 4 to test the pressure bearing capacity of the lip seal 3.

[0053] Record the test conditions and test data. After the test is completed, depressurize and disassemble the lip seal 3, check its appearance and dimensions, and issue a test report.

[0054] The above-described specific examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Those skilled in the art can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the concept of this invention.
