Abstract
Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic and pneumatic transmission technology, and specifically to a high-speed rotary joint. Background technology:
[0002] A rotary joint is a sealed connection device that enables media transfer between static and dynamic rotating systems. Its core function is to maintain stable fluid (gas / liquid) transfer under relative motion. Simply put, a rotary joint consists of a rotating component (rotor) and a stationary component (stator). The rotor rotates with the equipment, and the stator is connected to a fixed pipeline. The sealing function of the rotary joint is particularly important; a good seal is essential to prevent media leakage.
[0003] Currently available rotary joints typically use internal sealing rings to isolate each air passage or oil passage. For example, Chinese utility model patent application CN202597969U discloses a high-speed rotary joint, which includes: an upper housing, a lower housing, a bearing, a connector, a stationary ring, a rotating ring, a metal bellows, a soft graphite ring, and a sealing anti-rotation ring. The end section of the upper housing is connected and fixed to the beginning section of the lower housing, and the middle section of the connector is rotatably mounted on the end section of the inner hole of the lower housing via a bearing. It features a simple structure, good sealing performance, and high pressure resistance.
[0004] However, the existing sealing mechanism of rotary joints is achieved by sealing an anti-rotation ring (i.e., a sealing ring). In order to achieve a sealing effect, the sealing ring usually adopts an interference fit with the two mating parts. Therefore, when the two mating parts move relative to each other, a lot of frictional resistance will be generated. This not only affects the rotation speed of the rotary joint, but also the sealing ring is usually made of plastic and cannot withstand high temperatures. When the rotating shaft rotates at high speed, the sealing ring is prone to premature aging and heat deformation, which affects the sealing effect and further limits the rotation speed of the rotary joint.
[0005] In view of the above, the inventors propose the following technical solution. Utility Model Content:
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a high-speed rotary joint.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a high-speed rotary joint, comprising: an oil distribution sleeve, an oil distribution shaft passing through the oil distribution sleeve, several bushings axially sleeved on the oil distribution shaft, and a rotary bearing disposed between the oil distribution sleeve and the oil distribution shaft. A fitting clearance is provided between the oil distribution sleeve and the bushings, and multiple sets of sealing elements are also provided between the oil distribution sleeve and the bushings. Several axially spaced oil guide ring grooves are provided between the bushings and the oil distribution sleeve. The oil distribution sleeve has multiple first radial oil holes extending radially and independently communicating with each of the oil guide ring grooves. The bushings have multiple second radial oil holes extending radially and independently communicating with each of the oil guide ring grooves. The oil distribution shaft has multiple axially extending axial oil holes with ends independently communicating with each oil guide ring groove. A smooth ceramic coating is also provided between the oil distribution shaft and the bushings.
[0008] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the bushing includes a first bushing, a second bushing, a third bushing, and a fourth bushing arranged axially on the oil distribution shaft.
[0009] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the oil guide ring groove includes a first ring groove disposed on the first bushing, a second ring groove disposed on the second bushing, a third ring groove disposed on the third bushing, and a fourth ring groove disposed on the fourth bushing.
[0010] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the sealing element includes at least two sealing rings that are sleeved on the bushing and spaced apart along the axial direction.
[0011] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the first radial oil hole includes a first radial hole, a second radial hole, a third radial hole, and a fourth radial hole distributed on the oil distribution sleeve.
[0012] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the second radial oil hole includes a fifth diaphragm hole disposed on the first bushing, a sixth diaphragm hole disposed on the second bushing, a seventh diaphragm hole disposed on the third bushing, and an eighth diaphragm hole disposed on the fourth bushing.
[0013] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the axial oil hole includes a first shaft hole, a second shaft hole, a third shaft hole, and a fourth shaft hole distributed on the oil distribution shaft.
[0014] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the first diameter hole is connected to the first annular groove, the second diameter hole is connected to the second annular groove, the third diameter hole is connected to the third annular groove, and the fourth diameter hole is connected to the fourth annular groove; the first shaft hole is connected to the fifth diameter hole, the second shaft hole is connected to the sixth diameter hole, the third shaft hole is connected to the seventh diameter hole, and the fourth shaft hole is connected to the eighth diameter hole.
[0015] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the rotating bearing includes a first bearing and a second bearing located at both ends of the oil distribution sleeve and the oil distribution shaft, respectively.
[0016] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the lower end of the oil distribution sleeve is also provided with a lower end cap; the inner wall of the oil distribution sleeve is provided with multiple grooves for accommodating the sealing ring.
[0017] After adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: In this utility model, a smooth ceramic coating is set between the oil distribution shaft and the bushing to replace the traditional sealing ring. Utilizing the high strength and high heat resistance of ceramics, the problem of premature aging and heat deformation affecting the sealing effect of plastic sealing rings is effectively avoided, effectively improving the heat resistance and sealing performance of the structure, making it suitable for widespread application in various rotary joint structures. Secondly, the smooth ceramic coating reduces the resistance between the bushing and the oil distribution shaft, greatly increasing the rotational speed of the rotary joint and expanding its adaptability. Furthermore, compared with existing structures, this utility model has a fitting gap between the oil distribution sleeve and the bushing, and multiple sets of seals fill this gap to achieve a fixed assembly between the oil distribution sleeve and the bushing. The seals do not contact the oil distribution shaft and are not affected by high temperatures, meaning the rotary joint can withstand higher temperatures. For example, a traditional sealing ring can withstand 200°C, while the ceramic coating seal can withstand 400°C without affecting the rotational speed of the rotary joint. Attached image description:

A fitting clearance 4 is provided between the oil distribution sleeve 1 and the bushings 3, and multiple sets of seals are also provided between the oil distribution sleeve 1 and the bushings 3. Several axially spaced oil guide ring grooves 11 are provided between the bushings 3 and the oil distribution sleeve 1.

A smooth ceramic coating 201 is also provided between the oil distribution shaft 2 and the bushings 3.
[0025] In this invention, a smooth ceramic coating 201 is applied between the oil distribution shaft 2 and the bushing 3 to replace the traditional sealing ring. Utilizing the high strength and heat resistance of ceramics, this effectively avoids the premature aging and heat deformation issues associated with plastic sealing rings, thus improving the structure's heat resistance and sealing performance.

The upper gasket 300 and the upper end cover 400 are installed at the upper end of the oil distribution sleeve 1, and the lower gasket 600 is installed at the lower end of the oil distribution sleeve 1.
