The above sealing method relies on only a sealing ring, and the sealing strength is not high. Therefore, a sealing structure for the connection surface of the ship's scavenging air box is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0037] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0038] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-3The diagram illustrates a sealing structure for a ship's scavenging air box connection surface, comprising: a connecting panel 1; multiple connecting holes arranged in a circular array on the front side of the connecting panel 1; a connecting pipe 2 disposed on the front side of the connecting panel 1; a connecting flange 3 fixedly fitted onto the outer wall of the connecting pipe 2, the number and size of the holes on the connecting flange 3 corresponding one-to-one with the multiple connecting holes; multiple connecting bolts 4 passing through the holes on the connecting flange 3 and threadedly connected to the inner wall of the corresponding connecting holes; an inner sealing mechanism 5 disposed on the back side of the connecting flange 3, used to achieve a double-layer stepped seal and increase sealing strength; and an outer sealing mechanism 6 disposed on the outside of the connecting flange 3, used to further increase sealing strength.

[0039] The inner sealing mechanism 5 includes: an annular stepped groove, which is formed on the front of the connecting panel 1; a stepped ring 51, which is fixedly connected to the back of the connecting flange 3 and movably sleeved within the inner cavity of the annular stepped groove; an inner sealing ring 1 52 and an inner sealing ring 2 53, both of which are disposed within the inner cavity of the annular stepped groove, with the inner sealing ring 1 52 being larger than the inner sealing ring 2 53, and both being used to increase the sealing strength; and a limiting ring 54, which is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the annular stepped groove, and is used to limit the position of the inner sealing ring 2 53 within the annular stepped groove, preventing the inner sealing ring 2 53 from moving randomly and improving the ease of operation.

[0040] The external sealing mechanism 6 includes: an annular groove, which is formed on the front side of the connecting panel 1, and the inner diameter of the annular groove is the same as the outer diameter of the connecting flange 3; a fixed outer ring 61, which is fixedly connected to the front side of the connecting panel 1, and the inner wall of the fixed outer ring 61 has evenly distributed internal threads; an assembly inner ring 62, which has evenly distributed external threads on its outer wall, and the outer wall of the assembly inner ring 62 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed outer ring 61; and an external sealing ring 63, which is fixedly connected to the back side of the assembly inner ring 62.

The outer diameter and inner diameter of the outer sealing ring 63 are both smaller than the inner ring 62 of the assembly. The outer wall of the connecting flange 3 is provided with a chamfer to facilitate the outer sealing ring 63 to be fitted onto the outer side of the connecting flange 3.

The outer walls of the multiple force-applying plates 64 are provided with evenly distributed anti-slip textures to increase the friction between the plates and the palms of the workers.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] When connecting the ship's scavenging air box and the connecting pipe 2, firstly, the inner sealing ring 1 52 and the inner sealing ring 2 53 are placed flat into the annular stepped groove. During this process, the inner sealing ring 2 53 must be located inside the limiting ring 54. Then, the connection can be made through the connecting flange 3 and multiple connecting bolts 4. As the connecting bolts 4 are tightened, the sealing strength will increase. After all the connecting bolts 4 are tightened, the inner ring 62 and the fixed outer ring 61 are connected by threads through the force plate 64. In this step, the outer sealing ring 63 faces the annular groove. As the inner ring 62 gradually enters the fixed outer ring 61, the outer sealing ring 63 will gradually fit into the gap between the inner wall of the annular groove and the outer wall of the connecting flange 3, which further increases the sealing strength between the ship's scavenging air box connecting panel 1 and the connecting flange 3.

[0043] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
