Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of seal structures of servo motors, and particularly to a guide sleeve seal structure and a servo motor of a servo motor.
Background Art
[0002] Conventional seal forms of servo motors mainly include static seals and dynamic seals. A static seal refers to a seal that prevents leakage of a medium when the seal position is in a relatively static state. A dynamic seal refers to a seal that prevents leakage of a medium when the seal position is in a relatively moving state. Currently, as shown in FIG. 1, the guide sleeve of a 660MW servo motor uses two stepped seals. Furthermore, the servo motor disclosed in the utility model with the publication number CN210978044U is provided with two stepped seals for sealing the guide sleeve. Specifically, it includes a housing and a piston rod fitted in the housing. A first mounting hole is provided at the first side end of the housing. The connection end of the piston rod extends from the first mounting hole and is coaxially connected to the valve stem. A first seal ring and a second seal ring are provided between the inner wall of the first mounting hole and the piston rod. An annular oil groove is provided on the contact surface between the inner wall of the first mounting hole and the piston rod, and the annular oil groove is located between the first seal ring and the second seal ring.
[0003] The seal form of the guide sleeve of the above servo motor has the following defects.
[0004] The stepped seal can only be installed in a deformed state and cannot maintain its original sealing performance, and oil leakage and oil seepage may occur during operation.
Summary of the Invention
Means for Solving the Problems
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a guide sleeve seal structure and a servo motor for a servo motor, which overcome the drawbacks in the prior art that the guide sleeve of the servo motor is sealed only by two step seals, and the step seals can only be installed in a deformed state, unable to maintain the original sealing performance, resulting in oil leakage and oil seepage during operation.
[0006] The object of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions.
[0007] A guide sleeve seal structure for a servo motor, comprising a guide sleeve body of the servo motor, a USH seal ring, a first step seal and a second step seal. The inside of the guide sleeve body is a hollow structure, which is provided with a first seal groove, a second seal groove, and a third seal groove in sequence. The USH seal ring is located in the first seal groove, the first step seal is located in the second seal groove, and the second step seal is located in the third seal groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the first seal groove is located in the middle of the guide sleeve body.
[0009] Furthermore, an annular oil groove is provided at one end of the guide sleeve body, and an oil groove pipeline is connected to the annular oil groove. One end of the oil groove pipeline is connected to the annular oil groove, and the other end penetrates to the outside of the guide sleeve body.
[0010] Furthermore, the second seal groove and the third seal groove are respectively located on both sides of the annular oil groove.
[0011] Furthermore, the second seal groove and the third seal groove have the same size.
[0012] Furthermore, the width of the first seal groove is larger than the sum of the widths of the second seal groove and the third seal groove.
[0013] Furthermore, the USH seal ring is made of polyurethane.
[0014] Furthermore, a piston rod of a servo motor is attached inside the guide sleeve body, and the USH seal ring, the first step seal, and the second step seal are all shrink-fitted onto the piston rod.
[0015] Furthermore, the edges of the first seal groove, the second seal groove, and the third seal groove are all rounded.
[0016] The present invention further provides a servo motor including the guide sleeve seal structure of the servo motor as described above.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages. (1) The present invention improves the seal structure of the guide sleeve of the servo motor. In addition to the original two step seals, a USH ring is added for sealing. The material commonly used for the USH ring is polyurethane, which has high hardness and wear resistance, can withstand frequent friction, and is not easily damaged. The USH ring has excellent elasticity and resilience, tightly adheres to the seal surface to effectively prevent leakage, and can provide a highly reliable seal regardless of static or dynamic sealing. (2) In the operating environment of the servo motor, it is necessary to effectively seal the internal oil. There is a certain possibility of oil leaching and oil leakage in the original two seal rings. The three seal rings are equivalent to adding one seal defense line, further improving the seal performance of the seal components, preventing oil leakage and leaching, and reducing oil loss in the system. In actual operation, the three-seal-ring system can maintain an excellent seal effect even under more severe operating conditions (such as high temperature, high pressure, and impurities in the oil), and can reduce the amount of oil leakage due to poor sealing. The reduction of leakage stabilizes the hydraulic pressure inside the servo motor, ensures the normal operation of the servo motor, and improves the reliability and stability of the entire system. (3) In this invention, the positions of the three seal rings are also optimized. Regarding the leakage problem of the annular oil groove, two stepped seals are arranged on both sides of the annular oil groove to improve the sealing effect of the annular oil groove. The USH seal ring (2) is arranged in the middle of the guide sleeve. By increasing the thickness and width, it adheres to the sealing surface, realizing the sealing and leakage prevention of the main body, and overall exerting an excellent sealing effect.

[0026] As shown in Figure 2, this embodiment provides a guide sleeve seal structure for a servo motor. The guide sleeve seal structure includes a guide sleeve body 1 of the servo motor, a USH seal ring 2, a first step seal 3, and a second step seal 4. The inside of the guide sleeve body 1 has a hollow structure, and a first seal groove, a second seal groove, and a third seal groove are provided in sequence. The USH seal ring 2 is located in the first seal groove, the first step seal 3 is located in the second seal groove, and the second step seal 4 is located in the third seal groove.
[0027] Preferably, an annular oil groove 5 is provided at one end of the guide sleeve body 1. An oil groove pipeline 6 is connected to the annular oil groove 5. One end of the oil groove pipeline 6 is connected to the annular oil groove 5, and the other end penetrates to the outside of the guide sleeve body 1.
[0028] Preferably, the second seal groove and the third seal groove are respectively located on both sides of the annular oil groove 5. Regarding the leakage problem of the annular oil groove, two step seals are installed on both sides of the annular oil groove to improve the sealing effect of the annular oil groove.
[0029] Preferably, the second seal groove and the third seal groove have the same size to ensure a balanced sealing effect on both sides of the annular oil groove 5.
[0030] Preferably, the first seal groove is located in the middle of the guide sleeve body 1, and the width of the first seal groove is larger than the sum of the widths of the second seal groove and the third seal groove.
