[0023] 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.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a lubricating oil sealing device for the output end of a diesel engine crankshaft, including a housing 1. A circular groove 11 is opened on one side of the housing 1, and an oil slinger 2 is inserted into the circular groove 11. Multiple circular teeth 21 are uniformly fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the oil slinger 2 in an annular shape. Multiple slots 22 are uniformly opened on one side of the oil slinger 2 in an annular shape, and a guide rib 23 is fixedly connected in the middle of the slot 22. The adjacent circular teeth 21 improve the efficiency of converting the kinetic energy of the lubricating oil into heat energy (the circular teeth 21 break the lubricating oil into droplets, and the thin liquid film formed on the surface of the circular teeth 21 increases the heat dissipation coefficient, avoids lubricating oil failure due to the decrease in viscosity at high temperature, and reduces the thermal efficiency decay caused by poor heat dissipation), destroys the fluid boundary layer, promotes turbulence formation, reduces the residence time of the lubricating oil, and reduces leakage. The slots 22 increase the lubricating oil return speed, and the setting of the guide rib 23 enhances the swirling speed. Through the synergistic effect of fluid dynamics optimization and energy dissipation mechanism, the sealing performance is further improved.

[0026] Example 2:

[0027] Please see Figure 1-3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The slot 22 is an inclined arc surface. The outer edge of the slot 22 is thicker near the oil slinger 2. The cross-section of the guide rib 23 is triangular. The slot 22 is set to form a "low-high" pressure gradient by using centrifugal force, which increases the return speed of the lubricating oil. The triangular cross-sectional shape of the guide rib 23 can improve the swirling intensity.

[0028] A circular hole 14 is provided through the center of the circular groove 11. A sealing ring 3 is fixedly connected inside the circular hole 14. A connecting ring 4 is movably connected to the inner wall of the sealing ring 3. A limit ring 41 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting ring 4. The limit ring 41 contacts the inner wall of the oil slinger 2. The sealing ring 3, the connecting ring 4, and the limit ring 41 are all elastic. The elastic deformation of the limit ring 41, the connecting ring 4, and the sealing ring 3 compensates for the thermal expansion of the crankshaft, so that the gap change can be completely absorbed. After the residual lubricating oil comes into contact with the limit ring 41, the connecting ring 4, and the sealing ring 3, zero leakage is achieved through static sealing and dynamic compensation.

[0029] A connecting strip 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting ring 41. An insertion hole 24 is opened on one side of the top of the oil slinger 2. A snap-fit ​​bracket 5 is provided on the top of the housing 1. The snap-fit ​​bracket 5 is elastic. A cylindrical rod 51 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​bracket 5. The cylindrical rod 51 passes through the connecting strip 42 and is inserted into the insertion hole 24. The snap-fit ​​bracket 5 and the cylindrical rod 51 can fix the oil slinger 2, the connecting ring 4 and the limiting ring 41 to the housing 1. When in use, the snap-fit ​​bracket 5 and the cylindrical rod 51 can be removed for use.

[0030] A connecting groove 12 is provided on one side of the housing 1, and the connecting groove 12 is connected to the circular groove 11; after the lubricating oil enters the circular groove 11, it flows into the oil storage structure from the connecting groove 12 to realize the recovery of the lubricating oil.

[0031] The housing 1 has three through holes 13 on both sides; the housing 1 can be installed at the place of use by using bolts through the mounting holes 13.

[0032] Example 3:

[0033] Please see Figure 1-3This is the third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the above two embodiments. If the sealing device is required, the entire device is taken to the place of use, and the snap-fit ​​bracket 5 and cylindrical rod 51 fix the device. When the sealing device needs to be installed at the crankshaft output or other positions, the snap-fit ​​bracket 5 and cylindrical rod 51 are removed from the housing 1, and then the housing 1 is installed. The housing 1 is installed to the place of use by bolts passing through the mounting holes 13, and then the housing 1 is further fixed by other components. During the use of the sealing device, after the lubricating oil at the output end enters the circular groove 11, the adjacent circular teeth 21 improve the efficiency of converting the kinetic energy of the lubricating oil into heat energy, destroy the lubricating oil boundary layer, promote turbulence formation, reduce the residence time of the lubricating oil, and thus reduce leakage. The slot 22 uses centrifugal force to form a "low-high" pressure gradient, which increases the lubricating oil return speed. The triangular cross-sectional shape of the guide rib 23 can enhance the swirling intensity. The swirling enhancement design of the guide rib 23 achieves further improvement in sealing performance through the synergistic effect of fluid dynamics optimization and energy dissipation mechanism. The elastic deformation of the limiting ring 41, connecting ring 4, and sealing ring 3 compensates for the thermal expansion of the crankshaft, allowing the clearance change to be completely absorbed. After the residual lubricating oil comes into contact with the limiting ring 41, connecting ring 4, and sealing ring 3, the residual energy is eliminated through static sealing and dynamic compensation, achieving zero leakage. After the lubricating oil enters the circular groove 11, it flows into the oil storage structure from the connecting groove 12, realizing the recovery of lubricating oil. In this utility model, the circular teeth 21 convert the kinetic energy of the lubricating oil into heat energy, consuming most of the leakage energy. The slot 22 and the guide ridge 23 utilize centrifugal force and increase the swirling intensity to further reduce the leakage. Then, through the static sealing and dynamic compensation of the connecting ring 4, limiting ring 41, and sealing ring 3, the residual energy is eliminated, achieving zero leakage. Through the cooperation of the components, a three-level sealing barrier is achieved, significantly improving the sealing performance of the device, extending the service life of the equipment, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
