常规的单唇或双唇密封圈存在明显不足:其单一或少量密封唇结构难以有效阻挡磨蚀性泥砂的渐进侵入,易导致内部润滑脂污染和密封件早期磨损;同时,现有组合式密封圈的密封唇布局往往缺乏优化的梯度密封与动态冗余设计,难以兼顾高效防外部侵入与内部润滑保持的双重要求;此外,部分密封圈依赖螺栓压紧的轴向固定方式在设备振动下易发生窜动,引发密封唇偏磨失效;而暴露在最外侧的密封唇也常因直接承受泥水冲击而加速磨损

The first sealing lip forms a gap with the sealing ring cover, effectively blocking the initial intrusion of large particles of mud and sludge. The second sealing lip maintains a non-contact gap with the sealing ring cover, using hydrodynamic effects to block and guide some mud and sand to flow back outward, significantly reducing the burden and direct impact on subsequent sealing lips. The third, fourth, and fifth sealing lips on the inner side are tightly fitted to the inner surface of the sealing ring cover with increasing interference fit, forming multiple dynamic sealing barriers, intercepting fine impurities step by step, completely blocking the infiltration path of pollutants, and improving the sealing reliability in harsh environments such as mud, sand, and dust.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sealing ring technology, and in particular to a novel combined sealing ring structure. Background Technology
[0002] In heavy-duty applications such as automotive bearings, construction machinery, and mining equipment, rotary shaft seals are frequently exposed to harsh conditions rich in mud, sand, and dust, posing a significant challenge to seal reliability. Conventional single-lip or double-lip seals have obvious shortcomings: their single or limited lip structure is insufficient to effectively prevent the gradual intrusion of abrasive mud and sand, easily leading to internal grease contamination and premature seal wear; simultaneously, the lip layout of existing composite seals often lacks optimized gradient sealing and dynamic redundancy design, making it difficult to simultaneously meet the dual requirements of efficient external intrusion prevention and internal lubrication maintenance; furthermore, some seals relying on bolt-tightening axial fixing are prone to shifting under equipment vibration, causing uneven lip wear failure; and the outermost lip exposed is often subjected to accelerated wear due to direct impact from mud and water. Although existing technologies employ multi-lip or snap-fit positioning improvements, they still do not systematically solve the comprehensive problems of multi-stage mud and sand interception, low-friction gradient sealing fit, and resistance to axial displacement. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of combined sealing ring structure with stronger mud and sand classification and blocking capabilities, optimized interference gradient design, and stable axial positioning function to meet the high requirements for sealing performance and service life under extreme working conditions. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a new type of combined sealing ring structure that can prevent the dust cover from shifting under load, thereby interfering with or jamming the retainer and causing it to fail.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: a novel combined sealing ring structure is provided, including: a metal skeleton, a sealing ring rubber layer, a sealing ring cover, a sealing ring cover rubber layer, a first sealing lip, a second sealing lip, a third sealing lip, a fourth sealing lip, and a fifth sealing lip; the sealing ring rubber layer is vulcanized and coated on the metal skeleton; the first sealing lip, the second sealing lip, the third sealing lip, the fourth sealing lip, and the fifth sealing lip are sequentially arranged on the sealing ring rubber layer; the first sealing lip is located on the outside of the sealing ring cover and forms a clearance fit with the sealing ring cover to reduce the entry of mud and sludge; the second sealing lip, the third sealing lip, the fourth sealing lip, and the fifth sealing lip are located on the inside of the sealing ring cover; the end of the sealing ring cover that contacts the flange is provided with a locking part; a groove or protrusion is provided at the corresponding position on the flange; the locking part and the groove are interference-fitted, and the axial positioning of the sealing ring cover is achieved through the interference fit between the locking part and the groove; the locking part abuts against the protrusion to prevent axial displacement of the sealing ring cover; the sealing ring cover rubber layer is vulcanized and wrapped on the outside of the sealing ring cover.
[0005] Furthermore, the second sealing lip does not contact the sealing ring cover, and is used to block the direct impact of external mud, water, and sand, and to allow some of the mud, water, and sand to flow back out.
[0006] Furthermore, the third sealing lip is interference-fitted with the inner surface of the sealing ring cover, with an interference amount of 0.3-0.6mm.
[0007] Furthermore, the fourth sealing lip is interference-fitted with the inner surface of the sealing ring cover, with an interference amount of 0.4-0.8mm.
[0008] Furthermore, the fifth sealing lip is interference-fitted with the inner surface of the sealing ring cover, with an interference amount of 0.1-0.2mm.
[0009] Furthermore, grease is filled between the third and fourth sealing lips, and between the fourth and fifth sealing lips.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] (1) This utility model achieves gradient sealing through the synergistic design of five sealing lips. The first sealing lip forms a gap with the sealing ring cover, effectively blocking the initial intrusion of large particles of mud and sludge. The second sealing lip maintains a non-contact gap with the sealing ring cover, using hydrodynamic effects to block and guide some mud and sand to flow back outward, significantly reducing the burden and direct impact on subsequent sealing lips. The third, fourth, and fifth sealing lips on the inner side are tightly fitted to the inner surface of the sealing ring cover with increasing interference fit, forming multiple dynamic sealing barriers, intercepting fine impurities step by step, completely blocking the infiltration path of pollutants, and improving the sealing reliability in harsh environments such as mud, sand, and dust.
[0012] (2) The locking part at the end of the sealing ring cover of this utility model is connected to the groove on the flange by an interference fit. This rigid snap-fit structure provides precise and firm axial positioning for the entire sealing assembly, fundamentally eliminating the risk of axial movement of the sealing ring cover relative to the flange during equipment operation, ensuring the stability of the working position of each sealing lip, and preventing failure due to uneven wear caused by displacement.
[0013] (3) The interference fit of the three inner sealing lips of the sealing ring cover of this utility model adopts a gradient design from strong to weak, which significantly reduces the overall contact pressure and frictional resistance between the sealing lips and the sealing ring cover while ensuring effective sealing. At the same time, the space between the third and fourth lips and the fourth and fifth lips is filled with lubricating grease, which further reduces lip friction, improves lubrication, and assists in sealing. This design effectively avoids local overheating and abnormal wear, and significantly extends the service life of the sealing ring. Attached Figure Description
