Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rotary joints, specifically relating to a leak-proof rotary joint with pressure relief function. Background Technology

[0002] Rotary joints are commonly used in liquid transportation. Existing rotary joints typically include a base and a connector, with the connector rotating relative to the base. A bearing is located between the connector and the base. Patent CN219606333U discloses a rotary joint for fluid transportation, comprising a first end cap, a central sleeve, and a second end cap, movably connected from right to left. An inner rolling ring and an outer rolling ring are sequentially fitted onto the outer side of the central sleeve from the inside out. The right end of the inner rolling ring is fixed to the first end cap with a fixing screw, and the left end of the outer rolling ring is fixed to the second end cap with a fixing screw. In existing rotary joints, during fluid transportation, there is mutual wear between the sealing dynamic ring and the sealing stationary ring. The fluid flows between the sealing dynamic ring and the sealing stationary ring under pressure, and the fluid pressure accumulates within the closed cavity. This fluid pressure causes the fluid to flow outwards from the inside of the bearing end cap along the bearing clearance, squeezing out the lubricating oil from the bearing. Long-term use can lead to dry friction due to insufficient lubrication in the bearing, and external contamination from oil stains, thus affecting the overall service life of the rotary joint. Therefore, a leak-proof rotary joint with pressure relief function needs to be designed to overcome the above difficulties. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention addresses the problems existing in the prior art by designing a leak-proof rotary joint with pressure relief function. The invention includes a pressure relief valve in the sealed cavity to automatically regulate the internal pressure of the cavity; a leak-proof component is installed at the opening end of the rotary seat to prevent fluid overflow; and mutual wear between the sealing stationary ring and the sealing rotating ring is reduced by limiting the position of the sealing stationary ring.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a leak-proof rotary joint with pressure relief function, comprising a rotary seat, a rotary joint body rotatably connected thereto on the rotary seat, a sealing assembly between the rotary seat and the rotary joint body, the sealing assembly comprising a sealing rotating ring, a sealing stationary ring and a compression spring, the sealing rotating ring and the sealing stationary ring being arranged adjacent to each other, the compression spring abutting against the sealing stationary ring; a sealing cavity is provided between the rotary seat and the rotary joint body, a pressure relief hole is provided between the sealing cavity and the rotary seat, a pressure relief valve communicating with the pressure relief hole is provided on the rotary seat; a leak-proof assembly is provided at the open end of the rotary seat, the leak-proof assembly comprising a labyrinth bearing end cap, an axial seal and a radial seal.

[0005] Preferably, a pair of bearing bodies are provided between the rotary joint body and the rotary seat, with the two bearing bodies arranged side by side, one above the other; the bottom of the sealing ring abuts against the top of the rotary joint body, one end of the compression spring abuts against the step of the rotary seat, and the other end of the compression spring abuts against the step of the sealing ring.

[0006] Preferably, a labyrinth bearing end cap is fixedly installed at the open end of the rotating seat, and the labyrinth bearing end cap is fixedly connected to the rotating seat by fasteners; the labyrinth bearing end cap is fitted with the bearing body below, and a retaining spring is installed on the rotating joint body, and the retaining spring is fitted with the bearing body above.

[0007] By setting a labyrinth-type bearing end cap, the bearing body is axially limited. By setting a retaining ring, the rotary joint body is axially limited. In this way, the rotary joint body and the bearing body can be firmly installed in the rotary seat.

[0008] Preferably, the sealing assembly further includes a guide post and a hole sealing ring; the sealing stationary ring is disposed in the rotating seat body, the sealing moving ring is disposed adjacent to the sealing stationary ring, a hole sealing ring is provided between the sealing stationary ring and the rotating seat body to seal both, and a guide post is fixedly installed on the sealing stationary ring.
