Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rotary joint technology, specifically to a six-way rotary joint. Background Technology

[0002] In many industrial sectors, such as metallurgy, power generation, and chemical engineering, it is often necessary to transfer various fluid media, such as hydraulic oil, compressed air, and lubricating oil, between rotating and stationary components. Rotary joints, as a key basic component, play a crucial role in such applications.

[0003] Traditional rotary joints typically have a limited number of channels and a relatively simple structure, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern industry for multi-channel, high-precision, and high-reliability transmission. In complex operating conditions, such as multi-point lubrication systems and multi-channel hydraulic control systems in large machinery, it is necessary to transmit multiple different media simultaneously, requiring rotary joints to possess excellent sealing performance, rotational stability, and a long service life.

[0004] Furthermore, some existing rotary joints are prone to leakage and wear during long-term use, affecting the normal operation of equipment and production efficiency, while also increasing maintenance costs and safety risks. Therefore, developing a new type of multi-channel, high-performance rotary joint is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0033] like Figures 8 to 9 As shown, the stator assembly 2 includes a fixed shaft 21 rotatably assembled with the inner wall of the rotating body 11. The right end of the fixed shaft 21 is flush with the right end of the rotating body 11, and the left end of the fixed shaft 21 protrudes from the left end of the rotating body 11.

Six oil passages 23 are provided inside the fixed shaft 21. The two ends of the oil passages 23 are connected to each stator welding straight connector 22 and each annular oil groove 13 in a corresponding manner.

[0034] Specifically, the inner wall of the rotating body 11 is provided with a number of annular sealing grooves 14 spaced apart along the axial direction. The annular sealing grooves 14 are located on both sides of each annular oil groove 13, and a shaft rotary square ring 5 is provided in the annular sealing groove 14. The shaft rotary square ring 5 is located between the rotating body 11 and the fixed shaft 21 to achieve sealing.

[0035] The inner walls of the rotating body 11 are provided with bearing ring grooves 15 along the circumferential direction at both ends. Deep groove ball bearings 6 are installed inside the bearing ring grooves 15. The deep groove ball bearings 6 are located between the rotating body 11 and the fixed shaft 21 to support the rotation of the rotating body 11.

[0036] The inner wall of the rotating body 11 has circumferentially formed end annular sealing grooves 16 at both ends. These end annular sealing grooves 16 are located inside the bearing annular groove 15 on the same side. An O-ring 8 and a sealing retainer 9 are disposed within each end annular sealing groove 16. The O-ring 8 and sealing retainer 9 are located between the rotating body 11 and the fixed shaft 21, with the sealing retainer 9 located outside the O-ring 8.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0041] When the six-way rotary joint is in operation, the rotating body 11 rotates together with the rotating parts of the equipment, while the stator assembly 2 remains stationary. The medium enters the oil passage 23 from the stator welded straight joint 22, and then flows out through the annular oil groove 13 and the rotor welded straight joint 12, realizing the transfer of the medium between the rotating and stationary parts. The shaft uses a rotary square ring 5, O-ring 8, and sealing retainer ring 9 to effectively prevent medium leakage, and the deep groove ball bearing 6 ensures the stable rotation of the rotating body 11.
