Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sealing structures, and more specifically to a spring-reinforced metal sealing structure resistant to ultra-high pressure. Background Technology

[0002] To improve the sealing effect after flange connection, sealing rings are usually installed between the two flanges, with their upper and lower sides contacting each other. The clamping force of the flanges compresses the sealing rings, thus achieving a seal. However, when the pressure is too high, the sealing rings, due to their inherent characteristics, can expand and deform, and may even break due to the pressure, thereby reducing the sealing effect. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, to further improve the sealing effect, C-shaped sealing rings with metal structures are often selected in this field, and a metal spring ring is placed inside the cavity of the C-shaped sealing ring. The elasticity of the spring ring increases the stress-bearing capacity of the C-shaped sealing ring, thereby improving the stress-bearing capacity of the sealing structure. How to further improve the stress-bearing capacity of the sealing structure on this basis, so that the sealing structure can withstand higher pressure, is an important research direction in this field.

[0013] As a second preferred embodiment, the upper wedge portion and the lower wedge portion are formed by arranging a number of wedge-shaped truncated cones at the same intervals in a circular ring.

[0014] As a third preferred embodiment, the wedge-shaped portion and the lower wedge-shaped portion are formed by arranging several wedge-shaped arc truncated cones at the same intervals in a circular ring.

[0046] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, a spring-reinforced metal sealing structure resistant to ultra-high pressure includes a lower flange 200 and an upper flange 300 that cooperate with each other, a fixing bolt and nut structure 400 for fixing the lower flange 200 and the upper flange 300, and a sealing part 100 disposed between the lower flange 200 and the upper flange 300; the sealing part 100 is composed of a C-shaped sealing ring 110 and a spring ring 120 disposed within the C-shaped sealing ring 110, the C-shaped sealing ring 110 is provided with a wedge-shaped part, and the upper flange 300 is provided with a wedge-shaped groove that cooperates with the wedge-shaped part.

[0049] The C-type sealing ring 110 consists of a sealing ring body 111 and a wedge-shaped portion disposed on the outer side wall of the sealing ring body 111.

[0050] The wedge-shaped portion is the upper wedge-shaped portion 112 disposed on the top of the sealing ring body 111.

[0051] The lower flange 200 consists of a lower flange body 201 and a groove 202 for providing the sealing part 100;

[0052] The upper flange 200 consists of an upper flange body 301 and a mating groove 302 that mates with the groove 202;

[0053] The wedge groove is a lower wedge groove 203 provided in the groove 202 and / or an upper wedge groove 303 provided in the mating groove 302.

[0054] The upper wedge groove 303 cooperates with the upper wedge portion 112.

[0055] The upper wedge-shaped portion 112 is a ring disposed on the outer side of the sealing ring body 111.

[0056] Since the upper wedge can extend into the upper wedge groove during use, the upper flange can provide an inward reaction force when the sealing part is subjected to an outward force. Compared with the existing static friction force, the upper limit of this reaction force is higher, thus improving the product's stress resistance.

[0057] Example 2

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the only difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the lower flange 200 is provided with a wedge-shaped groove that mates with the wedge-shaped part.

[0059] The wedge-shaped portion is a lower wedge-shaped portion 113 located at the bottom of the sealing ring body 111.

[0060] The lower wedge groove 203 cooperates with the lower wedge portion 113.

[0061] The lower wedge-shaped portion 113 is a ring disposed on the outer side of the sealing ring body 111.

[0062] Because the lower wedge can extend into the lower wedge groove during use, the lower flange can provide an inward reaction force when the sealing part is subjected to an outward force. Compared with the existing static friction force, the upper limit of this reaction force is higher, thus improving the product's stress resistance.

[0063] Example 3

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, the only difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that both the lower flange 200 and the upper flange 300 are provided with wedge-shaped grooves that cooperate with the wedge-shaped part.

[0065] The wedge-shaped portion consists of an upper wedge-shaped portion 112 located at the top of the sealing ring body 111 and a lower wedge-shaped portion 113 located at the bottom of the sealing ring body 111.

[0066] The lower wedge groove 203 cooperates with the lower wedge portion 113, and the upper wedge groove 303 cooperates with the upper wedge portion 112.

[0067] Both the upper wedge-shaped portion 112 and the lower wedge-shaped portion 113 are circular rings disposed on the outer side of the sealing ring body 111.

[0068] Example 4

[0069] like Figure 6 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiments 1-3 is that the cross-sections of the upper wedge portion 112 and the lower wedge portion 113 are wedge-shaped.

[0070] Example 5

[0071] like Figure 7As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 4 is that the upper wedge portion 112 and the lower wedge portion 113 are formed by arranging a number of wedge-shaped truncated cones at the same interval into a ring.

[0072] Example 6

[0073] like Figure 8 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 4 is that the wedge-shaped portion 112 and the lower wedge-shaped portion 113 are arranged in a ring by a number of arc-shaped truncated sections with the same spacing.

[0074] Example 7

[0075] like Figures 9-11 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiments 4-6 is that the upper wedge portion 112 and the lower wedge portion 113 are both two concentric rings disposed on the outer side of the sealing ring body 111.

[0076] Compared to a single-ring design, two concentric rings can further increase the product's maximum stress capacity.

[0077] Example 8

[0078] like Figures 12-14 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 7 is that the upper wedge groove 303 and the lower wedge groove 203 are annular grooves, frustum-shaped grooves or arc-shaped grooves that cooperate with the upper wedge part 112 and the lower wedge part 113.

[0079] The depth of the annular groove, frustum-shaped groove, or arc-shaped groove needs to be slightly greater than the height of the upper and lower wedges to avoid the reaction force generated after the internal air is compressed, which would prevent the upper and lower wedges from fully entering the upper and lower wedge grooves.

[0080] It should be noted that all features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in all methods or processes disclosed, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.

[0081] Furthermore, the specific embodiments described above are exemplary. Those skilled in the art can devise various solutions inspired by the disclosure of this utility model, and these solutions all fall within the scope of this utility model and its protection. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model specification and its drawings are illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
