Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sealing gasket technology, and in particular to a composite anti-fatigue sealing gasket. Background Technology

[0002] In various types of mechanical equipment, gaskets play a crucial role in preventing fluid leakage and isolating external impurities. However, traditional gaskets are prone to fatigue damage during long-term use, especially under harsh conditions such as dynamic loads, frequent vibrations, or high temperatures and pressures. This leads to decreased sealing performance and fluid leakage. This not only affects the normal operation of the equipment but can also cause safety hazards and economic losses.

[0003] Although some anti-fatigue gaskets on the market have made certain improvements in materials or structures, they still have problems such as insufficient fatigue resistance and unstable sealing effect. Some gaskets use only a single material, which makes it difficult to meet the requirements of high strength and good elasticity at the same time. Some gaskets have unreasonable structural designs, which cannot effectively disperse stress, leading to local stress concentration and accelerating the fatigue damage of the gaskets.

The reinforcing ribs can enhance the structural strength of the intermediate buffer layer, prevent it from deforming during long-term pressure and vibration, and further improve the fatigue resistance of the sealing gasket body.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The positioning protrusion is hemispherical in shape. It can play a positioning role during installation, ensuring accurate alignment between the sealing gasket body and the sealing surface, and improving the sealing effect.

[0027] 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.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a composite anti-fatigue sealing gasket, including a sealing gasket body 1, the sealing gasket body 1 including an upper sealing layer 2 and a lower sealing layer 5, the outer wall of the upper sealing layer 2 is provided with a plurality of flow guide grooves 3, the inner ring of the lower sealing layer 5 is provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions 6, and a buffer layer 4 is provided between the upper sealing layer 2 and the lower sealing layer 5.

[0029] The upper sealing layer 2 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). PTFE has excellent chemical stability, a low coefficient of friction, and good self-lubricating properties, effectively preventing fluid leakage, reducing friction between the sealing gasket body 1 and the sealing surface, and extending the service life of the sealing gasket body 1. The lower sealing layer 5 is made of nitrile rubber (NBR). NBR has good oil resistance and wear resistance, and can withstand certain pressure and temperature, providing basic sealing performance and mechanical strength for the sealing gasket body 1. The buffer layer 4 is made of polyurethane foam. Polyurethane foam has excellent elasticity and cushioning properties, effectively preventing fluid leakage. The system absorbs and disperses dynamic loads and vibration energy, reduces stress concentration, and improves the fatigue resistance of the sealing gasket body 1. The internal connection of the buffer layer 4 is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs made of aramid fiber in a mesh-like distribution. The reinforcing ribs can enhance the structural strength of the intermediate buffer layer 4 and prevent it from deforming during long-term pressure and vibration. At the same time, it further improves the fatigue resistance of the sealing gasket body 1. The positioning protrusion 6 is hemispherical in shape. The positioning protrusion 6 can play a positioning role during installation to ensure accurate alignment between the sealing gasket body 1 and the sealing surface and improve the sealing effect. The upper sealing layer 2, the buffer layer 4 and the lower sealing layer 5 are connected by adhesive.

[0030] Working Principle: When the gasket is in operation, the upper sealing layer 2 first contacts the sealing surface. Since the upper sealing layer 2 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which has excellent self-lubricating properties and chemical stability, it effectively reduces friction with the sealing surface, lowers wear, and thus extends the service life of the gasket. Simultaneously, several sets of guide grooves 3 on the outer wall of the upper sealing layer 2 guide the flow direction of the medium, preventing the formation of localized high pressure or eddies on the gasket surface, reducing scouring and erosion, and further improving the gasket's fatigue resistance. The lower sealing layer 5 is made of nitrile rubber, which has good oil resistance and elasticity. Several sets of hemispherical positioning protrusions 6 connected to the inner ring of the lower sealing layer 5 precisely match the positioning grooves on the sealing surface during installation, providing positioning and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the gasket installation, preventing seal failure due to installation deviations. At the same time, the elasticity of nitrile rubber allows the lower sealing layer 5 to tightly adhere to the sealing surface, forming a good sealing effect. The buffer layer 4, located between the upper sealing layer 2 and the lower sealing layer 5, is made of polyurethane foam and possesses excellent cushioning properties. When the gasket is subjected to external pressure or vibration, the buffer layer 4 absorbs and disperses this energy, reducing the direct impact of pressure or vibration on the upper sealing layer 2 and the lower sealing layer 5, and preventing fatigue damage to the gasket due to excessive pressure or vibration. Furthermore, multiple mesh-distributed aramid fiber reinforcing ribs within the buffer layer 4 further enhance its structural strength, enabling it to better withstand external forces and helping to maintain the overall shape stability of the gasket. The upper sealing layer 2, buffer layer 4, and lower sealing layer 5 are connected by an adhesive, ensuring a tight bond between the layers to form a unified whole that works together to provide a seal. During operation, the materials in each layer work synergistically, fully utilizing their respective advantages to ensure both the sealing performance and fatigue resistance of the gasket, enabling this composite fatigue-resistant gasket to operate stably and reliably under various complex working conditions.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
