Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of self-lubricating rotary shaft lip seal technology, specifically a self-lubricating rotary shaft lip seal assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Rotary shaft lip seals are a common sealing element used in rotating machinery. They mainly consist of a skeleton and an elastic sealing lip, and are usually installed in bearing housings or machine body bores, mating with the surface of the rotating shaft.
[0003] During long-term operation, existing rotary shaft lip seal structures generate continuous friction between the lip and the shaft. This friction not only causes the temperature of the sealing area to rise rapidly, but also causes the sealing material to gradually age, harden, or even crack due to the combined effects of heat and friction, thus significantly reducing the sealing effect and overall service life.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a self-lubricating rotating shaft lip seal assembly to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-lubricating rotating shaft lip sealing assembly to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] Preferably, the sealing lip is made of fluororubber, and the interior of the sealing lip is filled with graphite and PTFE micro powder.
[0008] Preferably, the connecting ring is fixed between the first heat-conducting ring and the connecting post, and the thickness of the connecting ring is less than the thickness of the first heat-conducting ring and the connecting post.
[0009] Preferably, the reinforcing rib is made of copper and has an L-shaped cross-section, and is fixedly attached to the bottom of the groove.
[0010] Preferably, the second heat-conducting ring is annular in shape, and the plurality of connecting posts and the second heat-conducting ring are both made of copper, and the second heat-conducting ring is fixed inside the sealing lip block and located on one side of the inner wall of the sealing lip block.
[0011] Preferably, the first heat-conducting ring is annular in shape, and the bottom of the first heat-conducting ring is in contact with the bottom of the cooling groove, and both sides of the first heat-conducting ring are in contact with both sides of the cooling groove, and the top of the inner lip protrudes from the inner wall of the sealing lip block.
[0012] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0013] This invention utilizes a composite heat transfer structure consisting of a heat-conducting ring, connecting column, and reinforcing ribs inside the sealing lip block. This allows heat generated on the inner wall of the sealing lip block to be efficiently transferred to the silicone oil in the cooling tank, achieving rapid heat dissipation and significantly improving the cooling efficiency of the sealing structure.
