[0027] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, an oil seal with a self-limiting function is provided. The oil seal has a sealing part 3 and a limiting shoulder 4. The oil seal includes a rubber body 1 and a skeleton 2 disposed within the rubber body 1. The rubber body 1 has a sealing part 3 and a limiting flange 11. The sealing part 3 is used to seal between the outer sealing object 5 and the inner sealing object (not shown in the figure). The limiting flange 11 is disposed on the outer periphery of the sealing part 3. The skeleton 2 includes a limiting cross plate 231, which is disposed within the limiting flange 11. The limiting shoulder 4 includes the limiting flange 11 and the limiting cross plate 231. The limiting shoulder 4 is used to abut and limit the end face 51 of the outer sealing object 5.

[0028] In this utility model, the oil seal is provided with a limiting shoulder 4. When the oil seal is pressed into the cavity of the outer sealing object 5, when the limiting shoulder 4 is pressed to the end face 51 of the outer sealing object 5, it indicates that the oil seal has reached the required depth, and the oil seal can be judged to be installed in place. There is no need to use a separate testing tool to measure whether the pressing depth of the oil seal is qualified. While ensuring installation accuracy, the installation process can be simplified and the installation efficiency can be improved. In addition, the frame 2 is provided with a limiting cross plate 231 located inside the limiting shoulder 4, which can improve the strength of the limiting shoulder 4, making the limiting shoulder 4 less prone to deformation and improving the installation limiting accuracy.

[0029] In some specific embodiments, the lower side of the limiting shoulder 4 includes at least a portion of the lower side of the limiting cross plate 231, and the lower side of the limiting cross plate 231 can directly abut against the end face 51 of the outer sealing object 5.

[0030] During press-fitting, the lower side of the rigid limiting plate 231 directly abuts against the end face 51 of the outer sealing object 5, ensuring a rigid contact between the limiting shoulder 4 and the end face 51 of the outer sealing object 5. This guarantees the relative dimensions of the limiting shoulder 4 and the outer sealing object 5, improving the limiting and positioning accuracy of the oil seal. If the lower side of the limiting plate 231 uses a limiting flange 11 to contact the outer sealing object 5, the limiting flange 11, being made of elastic material, may compress under varying press-fitting forces, causing a change in the relative position of the limiting shoulder 4 and the outer sealing object 5, thus reducing the limiting and positioning accuracy of the limiting shoulder 4.

[0031] Specifically, the limiting flange 11 is provided on the upper side and outer periphery of the limiting horizontal plate 231, and can wrap the limiting horizontal plate 231 on the upper side and outer periphery.

[0032] In some specific embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The frame 2 includes a vertical plate 21, a first horizontal plate 22, and a second horizontal plate 23. The first horizontal plate 22 is located on the upper side of the vertical plate 21 and extends laterally toward the middle of the oil seal. The second horizontal plate 23 is located on the upper side of the vertical plate 21 and the second horizontal plate 23. The side of the second horizontal plate 23 near the middle of the oil seal is connected to the side of the first horizontal plate 22 near the middle of the oil seal. The second horizontal plate 23 includes a limiting horizontal plate 231, which is located on the side of the second horizontal plate 23 away from the middle of the oil seal and extends to the outside of the vertical plate 21. The sides of the vertical plate 21, the first horizontal plate 22, and the second horizontal plate 23 away from the limiting horizontal plate 231 are located inside the sealing part 3.

[0033] Since the sealing part 3 of the oil seal will be heated and generate pressure during operation, the skeleton 2 in this utility model includes a first horizontal plate 22 and a second horizontal plate 23. The first horizontal plate 22 and the second horizontal plate 23 arranged vertically can obtain high structural strength, improve the compressive strength of the sealing part 3, reduce the deformation of the oil seal caused by pressure during operation, and ensure the sealing performance of the oil seal. At the same time, the second horizontal plate 23 can extend into a limiting horizontal plate 231, which makes the structure more reasonable.

[0034] Furthermore, the vertical plate 21 and the first horizontal plate 22 are provided with a first bending structure 24, and the first horizontal plate 22 and the second horizontal plate 23 are provided with a second bending structure 25. The vertical plate 21, the first horizontal plate 22 and the second horizontal plate 23 of the frame 2 are integrally bent and formed, which simplifies the processing of the frame 2.

[0035] Furthermore, the sealing part 3 includes an outer sealing body 31 disposed on the outer side and an inner sealing body 32 disposed on the inner side. The outer side of the outer sealing body 31 is used to abut and seal with the outer sealing object 5, and the inner side of the inner sealing body 32 is used to abut and seal with the inner sealing object. The upper side of the outer sealing body 31 is connected to the upper side of the inner sealing body 32. The vertical plate 21 is disposed inside the outer sealing body 31, and the connection part of the first horizontal plate 22 and the second horizontal plate 23 is disposed inside the connection part of the outer sealing body 31 and the inner sealing body 32.

[0036] During operation, the connection between the outer sealing body 31 and the inner sealing body 32 is subject to greater heat. Therefore, the connection between the first horizontal plate 22 and the second horizontal plate 23 is located within the connection between the outer sealing body 31 and the inner sealing body 32. This can improve the structural strength of this location, reduce deformation during operation, and better ensure sealing performance.

[0037] In other embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4 The cross-sectional shape of the skeleton 2 can be T-shaped, which can also realize the limiting function of the limiting plate 231.

[0038] In some specific embodiments, the inner sealing body 32 is provided with an upper sealing lip 321 and a lower sealing lip 323 on its inner side. The upper sealing lip 321 and the lower sealing lip 323 abut against the inner sealing object to improve the sealing performance.

[0039] On the other hand, refer to Figure 3 A sealing structure having the aforementioned self-limiting oil seal, the sealing structure further includes an outer sealing object 5, a sealing part 3 disposed in the cavity of the outer sealing object 5, and a limiting shoulder 4 abutting against the end face 51 of the outer sealing object 5.

[0040] By using the aforementioned self-limiting oil seal, the installation process can be simplified and installation efficiency improved when the oil seal needs to be press-fitted into the cavity of the outer sealing object 5.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
