[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example
[0019] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 This embodiment of an assemblable protective sealing mechanism for a sliding bearing includes a wheel rocker arm 1, a sliding bearing 2, a spindle 3, and a composite sealing assembly. The upper end of the wheel rocker arm 1 is provided with a countersunk hole 4, and an inner hole 6 is provided inside the countersunk hole 4. The spindle 3 and the sliding bearing 2 are coaxially disposed in the inner hole 6. A first flange 7 is provided at the upper end of the sliding bearing 2, and a second flange 8 is provided at the upper end of the spindle 3. The first flange 7 and the second flange 8 are axially fitted and corresponding. The composite sealing assembly includes a main sealing ring 9 and a secondary sealing ring 13. The composite sealing assembly is disposed in the inner hole 6, and a groove 5 is provided in the inner hole 6. The secondary sealing ring 13 is disposed in the groove 5. The outer diameter of the main sealing ring 9 is adapted to the outer diameter of the second flange 8. The main sealing ring 9 and the secondary sealing ring 13 are axially offset in the inner hole 6. A buffer layer is provided between the outer side of the main sealing ring 9 and the inner wall of the inner hole 6. The spindle 3 and the sliding bearing 2 are coaxially installed in the inner hole 6. The component positioning is achieved by the axial fit of the first flange 7 and the second flange 8. The composite sealing assembly is deployed in the inner hole 6. The secondary sealing ring 13 is embedded in the dedicated groove 5. The outer diameter of the main sealing ring 9 is matched with that of the second flange 8. At this time, the main sealing ring 9 and the secondary sealing ring 13 are axially misaligned to form two seals. The buffer layer on the outside of the main sealing ring 9 fills the gap between it and the side wall of the inner hole 6, forming an integrated structure of sealing and buffering.
[0020] Among them, the main sealing ring 9 has an arc-shaped inner groove 10, which fits into the outer edge of the second flange 8, and the side wall of the main sealing ring 9 has a buffer groove 11 for embedding a buffer layer. The main sealing ring 9 is precisely fitted with the outer edge of the second flange 8 through the arc-shaped inner groove 10, forming a sealing surface for the contact between the second flange 8 and the main sealing ring 9. The clamping force of its fitting structure can enhance the sealing fit. At the same time, the buffer groove 11 on the side wall of the main sealing ring 9 provides a dedicated installation space for the buffer layer, ensuring that the buffer layer is tightly fitted with the main sealing ring 9 and the side wall of the inner hole 6, and preventing the buffer layer from shifting or falling off.
[0021] Among them, the main sealing ring 9 is made of fluororubber, and the buffer layer is made of elastic polyurethane. By utilizing the high elasticity, wear resistance, high and low temperature resistance, and media corrosion resistance of fluororubber, the integrity of the sealing surface of the main sealing ring 9 is ensured in the contact and vibration environment. The elastic polyurethane material selected for the buffer layer has excellent elastic recovery performance and anti-compression deformation ability, which can absorb the vibration energy generated by the relative movement of the wheel rocker arm 1 and the spindle 3 and convert it into its own elastic deformation, thereby reducing the hard impact on the main sealing ring 9.
[0022] Among them, the secondary sealing ring 13 is a metal spring energy storage sealing ring. The inner side of the secondary sealing ring 13 is in contact with the outer side wall of the spindle 3, and the outer side of the secondary sealing ring 13 abuts against the inner wall of the groove 5. The metal spring energy storage seal ring has a built-in metal spring that can provide continuous pre-tightening force, so that the inner side of the secondary sealing ring 13 is always tightly attached to the outer wall of the mandrel 3, and its outer side is rigidly in contact with the inner wall of the groove 5 to form a second seal. When the main sealing ring 9 has a small leak, the secondary sealing ring 13 can compensate for the gap through the pre-tightening force and block the leakage channel.
[0023] Among them, a plurality of fastening bolts 12 are provided between the second flange 8 and the first flange 7, and the second flange 8 is connected to the first flange 7 by the plurality of fastening bolts 12; The second flange 8 and the first flange 7 are connected by multiple fastening bolts 12. The axial preload of the multiple fastening bolts 12 makes the second flange 8 and the first flange 7 fit tightly together, eliminating the gap between the mating surfaces.
[0024] Among them, multiple fastening bolts 12 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the first flange 7 and the second flange 8, with a number of no less than 4, and the included angle between adjacent fastening bolts 12 is equal. The equal included angle of adjacent fastening bolts 12 ensures that the preload on the mating surfaces of the first flange 7 and the second flange 8 is evenly distributed, avoiding deformation of the first flange 7 and the second flange 8 caused by local stress concentration, and ensuring that the first flange 7 and the second flange 8 are in parallel fit without warping gaps.
[0025] The inner wall of the arc-shaped inner groove 10 is provided with anti-slip texture, and the depth of the groove 5 is adapted to the thickness of the secondary sealing ring 13. The anti-slip texture in the arc-shaped inner groove 10 can enhance the stability of the second flange 8 fitting in the main sealing ring 9 and prevent relative sliding. At the same time, the depth of the groove 5 is matched with the thickness of the secondary sealing ring 13 to ensure that the secondary sealing ring 13 is flush with the inner wall of the inner hole 6 after installation, without affecting the assembly and sealing effect of the main sealing ring 9.
[0026] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: In use, the sliding bearing 2 and the spindle 3 are coaxially installed into the inner hole 6 of the wheel rocker arm 1, so that the first flange 7 and the second flange 8 are axially fitted. The connection between the two is ensured by fastening bolts 12. Then, the elastic polyurethane buffer layer is embedded in the buffer groove 11 of the main sealing ring 9, and the main sealing ring 9 is sleeved on the outside of the second flange 8, so that the arc-shaped inner groove 10 fits with the edge of the second flange 8, completing the first sealing assembly. Finally, the secondary sealing ring 13 is embedded in the groove 5 of the inner hole 6, so that it fits tightly with the outer side of the spindle 3 and the inner sidewall of the secondary sealing ring 13 to form the second seal, which effectively improves the sealing reliability under high pressure and vibration conditions and reduces the risk of leakage.
[0027] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods. As long as they can achieve their beneficial effects, they can be implemented. Therefore, this embodiment will not elaborate on their specific structural composition and working principle.
[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
