[0033] 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.
[0034] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a mechanical seal that is easy to maintain, including a flange 1. A seal 2 is detachably installed in the middle of the flange 1. The seal 2 is a sealing material for existing hydraulic equipment and can be used to seal the hydraulic equipment laterally. A connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the seal 2. The connecting plate 3 mainly supports the connecting block 4. The block 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 3. The inner wall of the block 4 is provided with a limit mechanism. A guide rod 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the block 4. The guide rod 7 allows the L plate 5 to move laterally without deviation of the movement trajectory. A limit groove 9 is opened in the inner wall of the flange 1. A positioning component is provided at the top of the flange 1.
[0035] The limiting mechanism includes an L-plate 5, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the insert block 4. The insert block 4 has a slot corresponding to the L-plate 5, which allows the L-plate 5 to move along the inner wall of the insert block 4. The right end of the L-plate 5 is elastically connected to the insert block 4 through a return spring 6. A positioning block 8 is slidably connected to the top of the L-plate 5. The positioning block 8 and the L-plate 5 are slidable. When the positioning block 8 coincides with the opening on the insert block 4, it can move.
[0036] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The positioning assembly includes a positioning rod 10, which is fixedly connected to the top of the flange 1. The top of the positioning rod 10 is round, which allows the top of the positioning rod 10 to slide more smoothly into the conical opening 11. The outer wall of the positioning rod 10 is fitted with the conical opening 11. Guided by the conical surface of the conical opening 11, it can automatically slide into the accurate position for quick positioning. A fixing block 12 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the flange 1. The fixing block 12 is mainly connected to the lower half of the sealing element 2 to ensure the installation position of the sealing element 2 and also to play a positioning role. There are two sets of positioning rods 10, which are symmetrically arranged on the top of the flange 1.
[0037] A tapered opening 11 is formed at the bottom end of the connecting plate 3, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the conical opening 11 is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. A sealing element 2 is inserted into the outer wall of the fixing block 12. The sealing element 2 has a corresponding groove on the fixing block 12, which allows the groove to overlap with the fixing block 12 to play a role in positioning and support.
[0038] Reference Figures 3-5The right end of L-plate 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the return spring 6. When L-plate 5 moves to the right, it will compress the return spring 6. When resetting, the elastic force of the return spring 6 will bring L-plate 5 back to its original position. The other end of the return spring 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the right end of the insert block 4. L-plate 5 is inserted into the inner wall of the limiting groove 9. L-plate 5 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rod 7. The positioning block 8 is snapped into the inner wall of the insert block 4. The insert block 4 has an opening so that the positioning block 8 can be snapped into the insert block 4. The bottom end of the connecting plate 3 is in contact with the top end of the flange 1. The insert block 4 is inserted into the top end of the flange 1. The flange 1 has a slot corresponding to the insert block 4 so that it can be inserted.
[0039] Working principle: Firstly, when quick disassembly and assembly of seal 2 is required, simply move the positioning block 8 to the right, moving the L-plate 5 to the right and compressing the return spring 6, causing the L-plate 5 to separate from the groove of the limiting groove 9. Then, when the openings of the positioning block 8 and the insert block 4 overlap, move the positioning block 8 backward to allow the opening of the insert block 4 to engage with the positioning block 8. Using the positioning block 8 to block the opening of the insert block 4, the L-plate 5 remains separated from the limiting groove 9. Then, separate the L-plate 5 from the groove of the limiting groove 9 on the other sets of insert blocks 4. Finally, move the entire seal 2 upward, allowing... The tapered opening 11 on the connecting plate 3 can be separated from the positioning rod 10. When installation is required, simply insert the tapered opening 11 on the connecting plate 3 into the positioning rod 10 from top to bottom. Use the arc surface of the tapered opening 11 to quickly position it with the positioning rod 10, and let the insert block 4 be inserted into the flange 1. After the insertion is completed, move the positioning blocks 8 forward one by one to separate the opening of the positioning block 8 from the insertion block 4. Since there is no obstruction from the positioning block 8, the reverse elastic force of the return spring 6 will move the L plate 5 and the positioning block 8 to the left to reset, allowing the L plate 5 to be inserted into the inner wall of the limiting groove 9 to complete the disassembly and assembly process.
[0040] 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.
