Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elastic sealing gasket technology, and in particular to an EPDM rubber elastic sealing gasket. Background Technology

[0002] According to Chinese Patent No. CN215108935U, a EPDM rubber sealing gasket for pipe segment sealing includes two sets of sealing gasket bodies. Each set of sealing gasket bodies has a hydrophilic rubber strip embedded in it, and grooves adapted to the hydrophilic rubber strips are also formed on both sets of sealing gasket bodies for sealing. An inclined surface is formed on the sealing end face of each sealing gasket body. An inner core is fitted inside each hydrophilic rubber strip, and grooves are formed on the inner surface of the inner core or the inner surface of the hydrophilic rubber strip in contact with the inner core. A water inlet hole is provided on one side of each hydrophilic rubber strip. This EPDM rubber sealing gasket for pipe segment sealing, by embedding a hydrophilic rubber strip in the sealing gasket body, allows some water to be introduced from the outside into the inside, causing the hydrophilic rubber strip to expand from the inside. Due to the action of the inner core, it generates a reaction force radially outward, thus better fitting the groove. This reaction force is the same as the radial force of the groove, both being positive pressure, resulting in better sealing and improved sealing effect.

[0003] The aforementioned comparative documents and existing technologies have the following technical problems: Existing ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber is copolymerized from ethylene, propylene, and a small amount of diene. It has excellent resistance to ultraviolet radiation and acid and alkali corrosion, and can be exposed to harsh environments for a long time without aging. It has a low material density and can be filled with a high proportion of additives, reducing costs while ensuring elasticity. Its elastic deformation range is large, which can effectively fill sealing gaps and support multiple working temperatures. It is used for subway and tunnel segment splicing, and the composite structure prevents water seepage and adapts to segment displacement during construction. However, it will age and crack under long-term compression, and the cracks cannot be detected in time. Problems can only be discovered when they occur, which can lead to some hidden dangers that need to be dealt with in a timely manner. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a ternary propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber elastic sealing gasket.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an EPDM rubber elastic sealing gasket, comprising a sealing gasket body, a boss on the top of the sealing gasket body, a circular absorption groove inside the boss, a rectangular absorption groove at the top of the sealing gasket body, a hexagonal absorption groove at the bottom of the rectangular absorption groove, a first functional hole at the bottom of the hexagonal absorption groove, and a second functional hole at the bottom of the first functional hole.

[0006] Preferably, the outer top of the two protrusions on both sides of the top of the sealing gasket body is chamfered, and a groove of the same size as the protrusion is provided between the protrusions.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom end of the hexagonal absorption groove is provided with an internal groove, the inside of the internal groove is provided with a repair capsule, and the two ends of the internal groove are provided with sealing gaskets.

[0008] Preferably, the interior of the first functional hole is provided with conductive rubber, and the interior of the conductive rubber is provided with an optical fiber sensor.

[0009] Preferably, the interior of the second functional hole is provided with water-swellable rubber, and the water-swellable rubber is in the shape of a trapezoid.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom end of the sealing gasket body is provided with a groove, and the inside of the groove is provided with a wear-resistant strip, which is embedded in the groove and closely attached to the groove.

[0011] Preferably, the surface of the sealing gasket body is provided with a high cross-linking density layer formed by peroxide vulcanization, and the core is provided with a sulfur vulcanization layer.

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] In this invention, a boss, a circular absorption groove, a rectangular absorption groove, and a hexagonal absorption groove are used. The boss, circular absorption groove, rectangular absorption groove, and hexagonal absorption groove at the top of the sealing gasket body form a multi-layer buffer and stress dispersion structure, which can effectively absorb mechanical vibration and impact energy. At the same time, it compensates for local gaps or offsets of the sealing surface through elastic deformation, which significantly improves the sealing stability. Furthermore, the boss, circular absorption groove, rectangular absorption groove, and hexagonal absorption groove are all branched and not on a parallel line, which can better buffer and disperse stress.

[0014] This invention employs a repair capsule, conductive rubber, water-swellable rubber, and a fiber optic sensor. The built-in repair capsule at the bottom of the hexagonal absorption groove can release repair material when the sealing gasket is damaged. Combined with the conductive rubber and fiber optic sensor in the first functional hole, it can monitor the sealing status in real time and report abnormal deformation or leakage, extending service life and reducing maintenance costs. The second functional hole uses trapezoidal water-swellable rubber, which expands in volume after contact with water to fill the gaps on the contact surface. Combined with the acid, alkali, and salt water resistance properties of EPDM rubber itself, it achieves dual waterproof and chemical corrosion resistance, making it suitable for complex working environments.

[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Specific Implementation Example 1:

A groove of the same size as the boss 2 is provided between the bosses 2. A circular absorption groove 3 is provided inside the boss 2. A rectangular absorption groove 4 is provided at the top of the sealing gasket body 1. A hexagonal absorption groove 5 is provided at the bottom of the rectangular absorption groove 4. An internal groove 501 is provided at the bottom of the hexagonal absorption groove 5. A repair capsule 502 is provided inside the internal groove 501. Sealing gasket blocks are provided at both ends of the internal groove 501. A first functional hole 6 is provided at the bottom of the hexagonal absorption groove 5. Conductive rubber 601 is provided inside the first functional hole 6. An optical fiber sensor 602 is provided inside the conductive rubber 601. A second functional hole 602 is provided at the bottom of the first functional hole 6. The second functional hole 7 has a water-swellable rubber 701 inside, which is shaped like a trapezoid. The bottom end of the sealing gasket body 1 has a groove, and the inside of the groove has a wear-resistant strip 8. The wear-resistant strip 8 is embedded in the groove and fits tightly between the groove. It uses a repair capsule 502, conductive rubber 601, water-swellable rubber 701 and fiber optic sensor 602. The built-in repair capsule 502 at the bottom of the hexagonal absorption groove 5 can release repair material when the sealing gasket is damaged. In conjunction with the conductive rubber 601 and fiber optic sensor 602 in the first functional hole 6, the sealing status can be monitored in real time and abnormal deformation or leakage can be reported, which can extend the service life and reduce maintenance costs. The second functional hole 7 uses a trapezoidal water-swellable rubber 701, which expands in volume after contact with water to fill the gaps on the contact surface. Combined with the acid, alkali and salt water resistance of EPDM rubber itself, it achieves double waterproof and chemical corrosion resistance, which is suitable for complex working environments. Specific Implementation Example 2:

[0026] Reference Figure 1 Ring-shaped neodymium iron boron magnets are pre-embedded at the edge of the sealing gasket, arranged in an alternating N / S pole distribution pattern. The spacing between adjacent magnets is optimized through finite element simulation to ensure uniform magnetic field strength distribution. The magnets are embedded in the middle layer of the sealing gasket, and the outer layer is covered with a EPDM rubber protective layer to avoid direct contact with external media that could lead to corrosion or detachment. A hot-pressing molding process is used to simultaneously vulcanize the magnets and EPDM rubber. The coupling agent KH550 is used to enhance the bonding strength between the magnets and the rubber interface. The surface of the magnets is pre-coated with a graphene-modified layer to reduce the coefficient of friction and prevent the magnets from sticking to the metal surface of the pipe segment during assembly.

[0027] In summary:

[0028] 1. By employing bosses 2, circular absorption grooves 3, rectangular absorption grooves 4, and hexagonal absorption grooves 5, a multi-layer buffer and stress dispersion structure is formed, which can effectively absorb mechanical vibration and impact energy. At the same time, it can significantly improve sealing stability by compensating for local gaps or offsets of the sealing surface through elastic deformation.

[0029] 2. By employing a repair capsule 502, conductive rubber 601, water-swellable rubber 701, and fiber optic sensor 602, the repair capsule 502 can release repair material when the sealing gasket is damaged. Combined with the conductive rubber 601 and fiber optic sensor 602, the sealing status can be monitored in real time and abnormal deformation or leakage can be reported, extending service life and reducing maintenance costs. The trapezoidal water-swellable rubber 701 expands upon contact with water to fill gaps in the contact surface, achieving dual waterproofing and chemical corrosion resistance.
