[0002] Bearings are essential components of modern machinery, primarily used to support rotating mechanical parts. Most bearings operate in complex environments, making the sealing structure on the bearing's side an indispensable part. The quality of this sealing determines the bearing's lifespan. To produce high-quality bearings, companies continuously improve the design of the sealing structure to enhance its reliability, leading to this case study. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the needs of the prior art and provide a waterproof and dustproof combined sealing structure. This utility model embeds the sealing element into the dustproof cover to form a structural whole. The outer dustproof cover forms the first layer of dustproof and water-blocking effect. The sealing elements cooperate with each other on the inner side of the dustproof cover to form a third seal, thereby further improving the dustproof and waterproof performance. This utility model achieves superior performance to traditional sealing structures through a tiered sealing method.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A waterproof and dustproof combined sealing structure includes a sealing element and a dust cover. The dust cover is open on one side and has a C-shaped cross-sectional space. The sealing element is embedded in the C-shaped cross-sectional space. The sealing element has a lip that protrudes from the dust cover and a foot that forms a sealing connection within the C-shaped cross-sectional space.
[0006] Furthermore, the seal includes a metal skeleton and a sealing body, the sealing body being made of rubber material, the sealing body covering and connected to the outside of the metal skeleton, and the sealing body extending from the top of the metal skeleton to form a lip.
[0007] Furthermore, the sealing body extends downward to form a lip, the lip having a V-shaped cross-section, the bottom of the lip being a first sealing part, and the side of the lip being a second sealing part. The first sealing part is in contact with the bottom of the C-shaped cross-section space, and the second sealing part is in contact with the side wall of the C-shaped cross-section space.
[0008] Furthermore, a groove is formed in the center of the lip foot, and a coiled spring is installed in the groove.

[0015] 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.
[0016] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The illustrated waterproof and dustproof combined sealing structure includes a seal 1 and a dust cover 2. The dust cover 2 is open on one side, and a C-shaped cross-sectional space 21 is formed inside the dust cover 2. The seal 1 is embedded in the C-shaped cross-sectional space 21 and is inserted from the open end of the dust cover 2. Both the seal 1 and the dust cover 2 are annular components, and when connected, they form a complete sealing structure, which is then directly installed onto the bearing product. The seal 1 has a lip 11, which protrudes from the dust cover 2. Figure 2As shown, a groove is provided on the inner wall of the outer ring of the bearing. After the lip 11 is deformed, it is inserted into the groove. A sealing structure installation area is provided on the outer wall of the inner ring of the bearing. The dust cover 2 of this utility model includes an inner ring body 23. The dust cover 2 is connected to the outer wall of the inner ring of the bearing (generally a tight fit connection) through the inner ring body 23. The dust cover 2 of this utility model plays the role of the first-level dustproof and waterproof effect. The sealing element 1 of this utility model is provided with a lip foot 14. The lip foot 14 forms a sealing connection effect in the C-shaped cross-section space 21 to ensure the overall dustproof and waterproof performance of the sealing structure.
[0017] like Figure 2 As shown, the seal 1 includes a metal frame 12 and a sealing body 13. The metal frame 12 provides a certain rigidity to the seal 1. The sealing body 13 is made of rubber and covers and connects to the outside of the metal frame 12. The sealing body 13 extends from the top of the metal frame 12 to form a lip 11, which is the outer ring of the seal 1. The part of the sealing body 13 that is within the metal frame 12 is the body of the seal 1. The sealing body 13 extends downward to form a lip foot 14, which is the inner ring of the seal 1. In this invention, the lip foot 14 is designed with a V-shaped cross-section. The bottom of the lip foot 14 is set as a first sealing part 142 (that is, the bottom tip of the V-shape), and the side of the lip foot 14 is provided with a second sealing part 143 (that is, the outer hook of the lip foot 14). The first sealing part 142 is in contact with the bottom of the C-shaped cross-section space 21, and the second sealing part 143 is in contact with the side wall of the C-shaped cross-section space 21. Two sealing parts are formed by the first sealing part 142 and the second sealing part 143. The dust cover 2 has an outer ring 22, the side end of which abuts against the waist of the sealing body 13, thus providing a first layer of sealing. In this invention, the dust cover 2 serves as the primary dust and water barrier. For mud and water to enter the bearing, it must first pass through the C-shaped cross-section space 21. However, within this C-shaped cross-section space 21, the invention employs a three-tiered seal from top to bottom. The first tier is the contact between the side end of the outer ring 22 and the waist of the sealing body 13; the second tier is the second sealing part 143 of the lip 14; and the third tier is the first sealing part 142 of the lip 14. Compared to traditional sealing structures, this three-tiered seal within a small space significantly improves sealing reliability and enhances the dust and water resistance of the sealing structure. Based on actual testing, the sealing effect is at least 60% better than traditional single-layer sealing components. This invention is suitable for bearings used in harsh environments and can significantly extend the service life of bearings.
[0018] To improve sealing reliability, such as Figure 2As shown, this utility model has a groove 141 in the center of the lip foot 14, and a coil spring 15 is installed in the groove 141. The sealing member 1 is a ring-shaped product, and the groove 141 forms a groove ring. The coil spring 15 is embedded in the groove 141. Due to the limited space in the groove 141, the coil spring 15 is compressed to form an outward tension. The outward tension formed by the coil spring 15 can force the first sealing part 142 and the second sealing part 143 to form a continuous and stable contact with the inner wall of the C-shaped cross-section space 21, so as to ensure the reliability and continuity of the sealing effect.
[0019] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
