[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be arbitrarily combined with each other.
[0040] like Figures 1-6 The present invention is illustrated in an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment discloses an emergency sealing structure for a rotary nozzle, including a retaining ring 1. The retaining ring 1 can be coaxially connected to the flange at the bottom of the rotary nozzle by multiple limiting screws. A receiving ring groove 2 is provided at the outer edge of the lower surface of the retaining ring 1, and the receiving ring groove 2 is arranged along the circumference of the retaining ring 1.
[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, an emergency sealing ring 3 is movably disposed in the receiving ring groove 2, and the emergency sealing ring 3 is made of elastic material. Meanwhile, a control unit 4 is movably connected to the bottom of the retaining ring 1. The control unit 4 is used to control the emergency sealing ring 3 to expand radially and to make the outer side wall of the emergency sealing ring 3 tightly abut against the inner side wall of the rotary nozzle housing, so as to achieve emergency sealing of the rotary nozzle.
[0042] The emergency sealing structure of the rotary nozzle in this embodiment can achieve rapid emergency sealing of the rotary nozzle without replacing the nozzle's seals. It is easy to operate, significantly reduces downtime and operational risks, improves operational efficiency, and the emergency sealing structure can be reused, thereby reducing costs.
[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the emergency sealing ring 3 is made of a high-temperature and corrosion-resistant elastic material (such as fluororubber, silicone rubber, or neoprene rubber) to ensure its performance. The outer wall of the emergency sealing ring 3 is vulcanized to form multiple annular sealing flanges (not shown in the figure), and these flanges can form a multi-stage seal with the inner wall of the nozzle housing to ensure a good sealing effect. Simultaneously, the outer diameter of the expanded emergency sealing ring 3 is 0.5%-1.5% larger than the inner diameter of the nozzle housing to ensure an interference fit, thereby improving the sealing effect.
[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the control unit 4 includes a support ring 41, a control ring 42, and a guide part 43. The support ring 41 is movably connected to the bottom of the retaining ring 1. The control ring 42 is coaxially fixed to the outer edge of the upper surface of the control ring 42, and the control ring 42 forms a vertical sliding fit with the receiving ring groove 2. The guide part 43 is disposed between the control ring 42 and the emergency sealing ring 3. When the control ring 42 moves upward and transmits force to the guide part 43, the emergency sealing ring 3 can expand radially under the action of the guide part 43.
[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the guide portion 43 includes a guide ring 431 coaxially fixedly connected to the inner edge of the upper surface of the control ring 42, and the outer wall of the guide ring 431 is provided with a first guide slope 432. The guide portion 43 also includes a plurality of arc-shaped guide strips 433, which are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the retaining ring 1, and the plurality of guide strips 433 respectively abut against the inner sidewall of the emergency sealing ring 3. At the same time, each guide strip 433 is provided with a second guide slope 434, and the plurality of second guide slopes 434 respectively fit and abut against the first guide slope 432.
[0046] When the support ring 41 drives the control ring 42 to move vertically upward, the force along the axial direction of the emergency sealing ring 3 is converted into a radial force under the action of the first guide slope 432 and the second guide slope 434. This causes the emergency sealing ring 3 to expand radially under the action of multiple guide bars 433 and to press tightly against the inner wall of the spray nozzle housing.
[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the emergency sealing ring 3 is provided with multiple limiting step grooves 5, and multiple guide strips 433 are respectively tightly embedded in the corresponding limiting step grooves 5 to improve the connection stability between the emergency sealing ring 3 and the guide strips 433, thereby ensuring the stable transmission of force.
[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the inner wall of the emergency sealing ring 3 is provided with a limiting inclined surface 435. The limiting inclined surface 435 is flush with the second guide inclined surface 434 and closely abuts against the first guide inclined surface 432, further improving the guiding effect, thereby ensuring that the emergency sealing ring 3 can expand smoothly and achieve stable sealing.
[0049] In this embodiment, the inclination angles of the first guide slope 432, the second guide slope 434, and the limiting slope 435 are 15°-30° respectively, to ensure stable force transmission.
[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, multiple positioning plates 6 are fixedly connected at equal intervals along the inner sidewall of the control ring 42, and multiple positioning grooves 7 are provided on the lower surface of the retaining ring 1. The multiple positioning plates 6 are vertically slidably engaged with the corresponding positioning grooves 7, and the multiple positioning plates 6 are movably connected to the retaining ring 1 by fastening screws 8.
[0051] In this embodiment, the nut of the fastening screw 8 is provided with a hexagonal head or hydraulic interface (not shown in the figure) for use with an external manual wrench or hydraulic wrench, so that the operator can control the fastening screw 8 to adjust quickly.
[0052] The emergency sealing structure of the rotary nozzle in this embodiment is used as follows:
[0053] The emergency sealing structure is installed at the bottom flange of the nozzle. When the streamline seal of the nozzle fails, a manual or hydraulic wrench is used to control the rotation of the fastening screw 8, causing the support ring 41 and control ring 42 to move upward. At this time, under the action of the guide part 43, the axial thrust is converted into radial expansion force, causing the emergency sealing ring 3 to expand radially, so that the emergency sealing ring 3 and the inner wall of the nozzle housing are tightly fitted together, thereby achieving an emergency seal for the nozzle. Subsequently, the sealing effect is confirmed by pressure testing equipment. If the standard is met, operation is resumed. After the nozzle malfunction is resolved, a manual or hydraulic wrench is used to control the reverse rotation of the fastening screw 8, releasing the expansion force of the emergency sealing ring 3, so that all components return to their initial state.
[0054] As can be seen from the above process, this emergency sealing structure can achieve rapid emergency sealing of the rotary nozzle. It is easy to operate, requiring no disassembly of the rotary nozzle body or replacement of seals, and can complete the sealing operation in a short time, significantly reducing downtime and operational risks, and improving operational efficiency. Furthermore, this emergency sealing structure is reusable, thereby reducing costs and achieving efficient resource utilization.
