Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid metal bearing sealing technology, and in particular to a liquid bearing sealing fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid metal bearings, also known as liquid bearings, typically consist of a shaft, a bushing, and liquid metal filling the gap between the shaft and the bushing. To prevent leakage of the liquid metal, sealing rings and connecting rings are installed at both ends of the bushing for sealing connection.

[0003] Reference Figure 1 The sealing ring 1 typically includes a first cylindrical body 2 with an open bottom. The opening at the bottom of the first cylindrical body 2 is smaller than the opening at the top. The transition ring 3 typically includes a second cylindrical body 4 at the top and a flange 5 integrally formed with the bottom of the second cylindrical body 4 and turned outward. The inner wall of the first cylindrical body 2 is provided with a stepped groove. The end of the second cylindrical body 2 abuts against the stepped groove. The first cylindrical body 2 and the second cylindrical body 2 are connected into a whole by extrusion, and the flange 5 is stamped into a corresponding shape.

[0004] The sealing performance of the seal ring and transition ring assembly is crucial to ensuring the bearing does not leak oil. Gaps in the assembly can lead to liquid leakage, affecting the bearing's lifespan. Existing assembly fixtures suffer from insufficient positioning accuracy and uncontrollable pressing force, resulting in excessive gaps between the seal ring and transition ring (visible gaps to the naked eye) and a high defect rate. Furthermore, the lack of a clear preliminary inspection structure necessitates additional inspection processes, impacting production efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a sealing fixture that combines precise positioning, controllable pressing, and preliminary testing functions to improve the assembly quality and efficiency of liquid bearing sealing components. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a liquid bearing sealing fixture.

[0007] The liquid bearing sealing fixture provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A liquid bearing sealing fixture includes an insert mounted on a base. The insert has a forming groove. A sealing ring and a transition ring are sequentially installed within the forming groove. A stepped groove is formed on the inner wall of the sealing ring. The transition ring abuts against the stepped groove. The end of the transition ring away from the sealing ring protrudes outside the forming groove and forms an outwardly expanding flange. A limiting cylinder is fitted onto the insert to limit the radial displacement of the bottom flange of the transition ring. An inner contour mandrel is slidably disposed within the limiting cylinder. A power source is externally connected to the inner contour mandrel. The inner contour mandrel is inserted into the forming groove, compressing the sealing ring and the transition ring into a single unit, while simultaneously causing the flange to be stamped into a specified shape in conjunction with the insert.

[0008] Furthermore, the inner contour mandrel includes a guide post with a larger diameter and a stamping post integrally formed at the end of the guide post. The guide post is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting cylinder. A stepped surface is formed between the stamping post and the guide post. The stepped surface is adapted to the end face of the insert and is used for extrusion flanging.

[0009] Furthermore, the insert is provided with at least two positioning pins, and the inner contour spindle is provided with positioning pin holes for passing through the corresponding positioning pins.

[0010] Furthermore, the insert has a through hole for connecting a corresponding positioning pin, and the positioning pin is inserted into the corresponding through hole and movably connected to the through hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the positioning pin has a diameter of 8mm, a length of 40mm, and a fitting clearance of 0.01-0.02mm with the positioning hole of the adapter ring.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the limiting cylinder is clearance-fitted with the outer diameter of the adapter ring, with a clearance value of 0.03-0.05 mm.

[0013] Furthermore, the power source driving the movement of the inner contour mandrel is a servo press.

[0014] Furthermore, the servo press is equipped with a pressure sensor for real-time monitoring of the pressure value during the pressing process. Furthermore, the top end of the inner contour mandrel is provided with a guide cone surface with a cone angle of 30°-45°.

[0015] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: the sealing ring and the transition ring are installed in the forming groove, the power source acts on the inner contour mandrel to move into the forming groove, the inner contour mandrel cooperates with the insert, on the one hand, the sealing ring and the transition ring are stamped into one piece, on the other hand, the flange is stamped into a specified shape by the inner contour mandrel and the end face of the insert, the positioning pin plays a positioning role, and the limiting cylinder is used to limit the radial displacement of the flange, thereby improving the accuracy of the formed part.
