Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sealing devices for automotive rubber hose joints, and in particular to a sealing device for automotive rubber hose joints. Background Technology

[0002] Rubber oil hose fittings are crucial connecting components in automotive oil systems. They ensure the stability and safety of oil flow, guaranteeing the normal operation of critical components such as the engine. Rubber oil hose fittings effectively resist oil corrosion, temperature changes, and high-pressure environments, ensuring leak-proof oil lines and thus improving the overall performance and safety of the vehicle.

[0003] Traditional rubber hose fitting sealing devices typically consist of a sealing ring, a fastening device, and connecting components. The sealing ring prevents oil leakage, the fastening device ensures the joint is securely installed, and the connecting components effectively connect the hose to other components to ensure the integrity of the oil circuit.

[0004] Traditional rubber hose fittings are prone to loosening, primarily because their sealing devices rely on external pressure to maintain a tight seal. However, under high temperature, high pressure, or prolonged use, the fittings and seals experience fatigue or material aging, leading to a decrease in tightening effectiveness. This makes hose fittings susceptible to loosening or leakage, affecting normal vehicle operation and potentially causing fires or other safety hazards. Furthermore, poor sealing also leads to oil loss, impacting engine lubrication and overall performance. Utility Model Content

[0032] 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.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-4 One embodiment of this utility model provides: a sealing device for a rubber oil pipe joint in automobiles, comprising:

[0034] The connector body 1 has a columnar connecting part 11 at one end. The outer surface of the connecting part 11 is provided with a limiting protrusion ring 12, an external thread 13, and an anti-detachment protrusion 14 in sequence.

[0035] The sealing ring 2 is fitted onto the connecting part 11. Its inner side is provided with an elastic sealing lip 21, and its outer side is provided with an annular limiting groove 22 that engages with the limiting protrusion ring 12 and an outer inclined surface 23.

[0036] The fastening sleeve 3 is connected to the external thread 13 via the internal thread 31, and its end is provided with a tapered pressing surface 32 that fits against the outer inclined surface 23;

[0037] The connecting part 11 is provided with an oil reservoir 15. The elastic sealing lip 21 is made of silicone rubber or fluororubber and has a lip-shaped cross section. It fits tightly with the outer surface of the rubber oil pipe. The fitting angle between the conical pressing surface 32 and the outer inclined surface 23 is 15°-30° to ensure that the sealing ring 2 is evenly compressed. The anti-detachment ridges 14 are distributed circumferentially along the connector body 1 and engage with the anti-detachment groove at the end of the rubber oil pipe. The oil reservoir 15 is filled with grease to reduce the friction between the sealing ring 2 and the rubber oil pipe. The outer surface of the fastening sleeve 3 is provided with anti-slip knurling 33 for easy manual or tool operation. The height of the limiting ridge 12 is greater than the depth of the annular limiting groove 22 to form an interference fit and prevent the sealing ring 2 from loosening radially. The elastic sealing lip 21 and the outer surface of the rubber oil pipe adopt an interference fit design to ensure sealing performance under high temperature and high pressure environments.

[0038] Working principle: During assembly, the columnar connecting part 11 of the connector body 1 is inserted into the rubber oil tube. The anti-detachment ridge 14 engages with the anti-detachment groove on the inner wall of the oil tube to form an initial mechanical fixation to prevent axial detachment. The sealing ring 2 is fitted onto the connecting part 11, and its annular limiting groove 22 is interference-fitted with the limiting convex ring 12 of the connector body. The height of the limiting convex ring is greater than the depth of the annular limiting groove to achieve radial positioning and prevent loosening. Subsequently, the internal thread 31 of the fastening sleeve 3 is screwed into the external thread 13 of the connector body. The conical pressing surface 32 at the end of the fastening sleeve presses against the outer inclined surface 23 of the sealing ring, converting the axial tightening force into the radial force of the sealing ring. The expansion force causes the elastic sealing lip 21 on the inner side of the sealing ring to fit tightly against the outer surface of the rubber oil pipe to form the main seal. At the same time, the grease in the oil reservoir 15 forms a lubricating film between the sealing lip and the surface of the oil pipe, which reduces friction and fills the micro gaps to assist in sealing. Under high pressure, the elastic sealing lip deforms adaptively due to the medium pressure, increasing the contact stress to ensure the reliability of dynamic sealing. The interference fit between the limiting convex ring and the annular limiting groove further restricts the radial loosening of the sealing ring, while the anti-slip knurling 33 on the outer surface of the fastening sleeve makes it easy to apply sufficient pre-tightening force manually or with tools, ensuring that the overall structure continues to seal stably under high temperature and high pressure.

[0039] 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.
