AI Technical Summary
In the use of existing multi-lip oil seals, the sliding connection between the outer and inner oil seals leads to wear, increasing the risk of grease leakage, especially when the housing or oil seal machining precision is low.
A multi-lip differential oil seal was designed, which adopts an air chamber structure filled with an air bladder ring and carbon dioxide gas. When the temperature of the inner oil seal rises, the air bladder ring expands and drives the secondary lip to tightly fit the rotating shaft, thereby improving the sealing performance and reducing the risk of leakage.
The expansion of the air bladder ring enhances the sealing performance of the oil seal, reduces the risk of grease leakage, and extends the service life of the oil seal.

[0009] The inside of outer oil seal is embedded with framework, and the cross section of the framework is T-shaped structure.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical scheme:
[0011] One side of inner oil seal is equipped with installation groove, and the inner side wall of installation groove is provided with tight hoop groove, and tight hoop spring is clamped in the inside of tight hoop groove.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] The inner wall of the inner oil seal is fixedly connected to a main lip, which is located on one side of the secondary lip.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] The inner wall of the inner oil seal is fixedly connected to a dustproof lip, which is located on the other side of the secondary lip.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0017] Both the main lip and the secondary lip are made of fluororubber, and their contact surfaces are coated with a PTFE wear-resistant coating.
[0018] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] Compared with existing technologies, this multi-lip differential oil seal, by setting up an air bladder ring, a secondary lip, and an air chamber, allows the temperature of the inner oil seal to rise, which is then transferred to the air bladder ring. This causes the carbon dioxide gas inside the air bladder ring to expand due to the heat, which in turn causes the air bladder ring to expand. The air bladder ring then causes the secondary lip to fit tightly against the rotating shaft, improving sealing performance and reducing the risk of grease leakage. Attached Figure Description
