Description

rotary joint

[0001] The present invention relates to a rotary joint that allows fluid to flow between the interior of a fixed body and the interior of a rotating body that rotates relative to the fixed body.

[0002] A rotary joint is a connecting device that connects a fixed body and a rotating body that rotates relative to the fixed body, and supplies or discharges fluids such as coolant or cutting oil to the rotating body.

[0003] For example, it is used to supply heat media such as steam, hot water, and hot oil for heating to rotating drums, cylinders, etc., and refrigerants such as water, ammonia, and freon for cooling, or to supply compressed air or operating oil to rotating devices such as clutches and brakes that operate with fluids.

[0004] Rotary joints can be used in military radar systems to connect and rotate the radar.

[0005] The cooling medium for cooling the radar system has a circulating structure in which it cools the upper rotating body and then flows back into the lower non-rotating body.

[0006] Recently, as radar performance has improved, higher output and efficiency have been required, and water-cooling devices have to be applied to ensure sufficient cooling effect, and the cooling water is circulated at a high pressure (e.g., approximately 10 bar or more).

[0007] Accordingly, a leak-free supply and recovery of cooling water between the rotating body and the stationary body of the rotary joint used for radar rotation is required.

[0008] Additionally, wear on the surface of the fixture that comes into contact with the sealing portion of the rotary joint during radar operation may result in a shortened radar operating time. Therefore, there is a need to improve the wear resistance of the fixture, and a structure that facilitates rapid maintenance is required.

[0128] Coating layer (20)

[0129] Below, the coating layer (20) is described.

[0130] As shown in FIGS. 8, 10, 12 and 13, a coating layer (20) may be provided on the outer surface of a fixture (100) made of aluminum material.

[0131] The coating layer (20) may be provided on the outer surface of the upper fixture (100a) that comes into contact with the first sealing portion (400), the second sealing portion (500), and the third sealing portion (600) of the upper fixture (100a).

[0132] In more detail, the coating layer (20) may be provided on the outer surface of the first protrusion (111) that comes into contact with the first sealing portion (400) in the upper fixture (100a), the outer surface of the first protrusion (112) that comes into contact with the second sealing portion (500) in the upper fixture (100a), and the outer surface of the third protrusion (113) that comes into contact with the third sealing portion (600) in the upper fixture (100a).

[0133] The coating layer (20) can be formed by coating the surface of the outer surface of the upper fixture (100a), i.e., the fixture (100) made of aluminum, with an amorphous powder.

[0134] Amorphous powder can be made of powder of a material with high hardness, such as iron (Fe), molybdenum (Mo), or chromium (Cr).

[0135] It is preferable that the coating layer (20) have a high hardness characteristic of having a surface hardness of HRC 60 or higher.

[0136] As shown in Fig. 15, the coating layer (20) can be provided inside a coating groove (30) formed on the surface of the fixed body (100) made of aluminum material.

[0137] The process of forming a coating layer (20) inside the coaching home (30) is as follows.

[0138] First, a coating groove (30) is formed physically or chemically on the surface of the outer surface of the fixture (100) (or upper fixture (100a)).

[0139] After this, amorphous powder is applied to the inside of the coating groove (30) to form a coating layer (20). The coating layer (20) thus formed protrudes outward from the surface of the fixture (100) (or upper fixture (100a)).

[0140] After this, the coating layer (20) protruding outward from the surface of the fixture (100) (or the upper fixture (100a)) is polished to the surface height of the fixture (100) (or the upper fixture (100a)). The thickness of the polished coating layer (20) can be formed to be the same as the depth of the coating groove (30). Therefore, both the area where the coating layer (20) is not formed and the area where the coating layer (20) is formed can be made flat.

[0141] As above, by forming the coating layer (20) inside the coating groove (30), the coating layer (20) is firmly formed inside the coating groove (30), so that the coating layer (20) can be prevented from falling off.

[0142] As described above, since a coating layer (20) having high hardness is formed and provided on the outer surface of the fixture (100) (or upper fixture (100a)) that comes into contact with the first sealing portion (400), the second sealing portion (500), and the third sealing portion (600), the wear resistance of the outer surface of the fixture (100) (or upper fixture (100a)) can be improved depending on the use of the rotary joint (10).

[0143] For example, when a rotary joint (10) is used in a radar system, if a coating layer (20) is provided on the outer surface of the fixture (100) (or the upper fixture (100a)), wear of the portion in contact with the first to third sealing parts (400, 500, 600) is prevented, thereby increasing the operating time of the radar, thereby increasing the efficiency of the radar system.

[0182] As the first-second spring (425) is inserted into the first-second spring groove (423), the elastic force of the first-second spring (425) causes the first-second rib (424) to press inward. Accordingly, contact between the inner surface of the first-second rib (424) and the outer surface of the upper fixture (100a) can be continuously maintained.

Accordingly, the wear resistance of the outer surface of the first protrusion (111) is improved, extending the life of the rotary joint (10), and the sealing of the first sealing portion (400) is firmly maintained, thereby preventing fluid leakage.

[0224] The second sealing part installation space (372) is formed by the space between the inner surface of the center of the rotating body (200) and the outer surface of the second protrusion (112) of the upper fixed body (100a).

[0225] The second sealing part installation space (372) is located between the lower part of the first chamber (351) and the upper part of the second chamber (352).

[0226] A second sealing part (500) is inserted and placed in the second sealing part installation space (372).

[0227] The second sealing part (500) is coupled to the rotating body (200) by the second-1 holder (571) and the second-2 holder (572).

A second-2 holder (572) coupled to the rotating body, a second-2 spacer (582) interposed between the second-2 holder (572) and the second-2 sealing member (520), a second-1 spring groove (513) having a shape sunken downward from the upper surface of the second-1 sealing member (510), a second-2 spring groove (523) having a shape sunken upward from the lower surface of the second-2 sealing member (520), a second-1 rib (514) having a shape protruding upward from the upper portion of the second-1 sealing member (510) and located on the inner side of the second-1 spring groove (513), and a second-2 spacer (582) having a shape protruding downward from the lower portion of the second-2 sealing member (520) and located on the inner side of the second-2 spring groove (523) It can be configured to include a second-2 rib (524) and a second-1, 2-2 spring (515, 525) inserted into each of the second-1, 2-2 spring grooves (513, 523) to press the second-1, 2-2 ribs (514, 524) inwardly, respectively.

[0229] The second-first sealing member (510) is located at the lower portion of the first-first spacer (481) and the upper portion of the second-first bending prevention ring (540). That is, the second-first sealing member (510) is interposed between the lower portion of the first-first spacer (481) and the upper portion of the second-first bending prevention ring (540).

[0230] A 2-1 O-ring (512) is provided on the outside of the 2-1 sealing member (510).

[0231] The 2-1 O-ring (512) is inserted into the 2-1 O-ring groove (511) which is provided to be open in an outward direction on the outside of the 2-1 sealing member (510).

[0232] The outer surface of the 2-1 O-ring (512) contacts the inner surface of the rotating body (200).

[0233] The 2-1 O-ring (512) has a ring shape.

[0234] The 2-1 O-ring (512) can be made of a material with high flexibility and high sealing properties, such as rubber or silicone.

[0235] A 2-1 spring groove (513) is provided on the inner side of the 2-1 sealing member (510).

[0236] The 2-1 spring groove (513) has a shape that is sunken downward from the upper surface of the 1-1 sealing member (410). Therefore, the 2-1 spring groove (513) is open upward.

[0237] A second-1 rib (514) is provided on the inner side of the second-1 spring home (513).

[0238] The 2-1 rib (514) is cut by the 2-1 spring groove (513) and has a shape that protrudes upward from the 2-1 sealing member (510).

[0239] The inner surface of the 2nd-1 rib (514) contacts the outer surface of the fixed body (100), i.e., the upper fixed body (100a).

[0240] The 2-1 spring (515) is inserted into the 2-1 spring groove (513).

[0241] The 2nd-1 spring (515) has a ring spring shape in which circular rings with elasticity are connected in a ring shape.

[0242] As the second-1 spring (515) is inserted into the second-1 spring groove (513), the elastic force of the second-1 spring (515) causes the second-1 rib (514) to press inward. Accordingly, contact between the inner surface of the second-1 rib (514) and the outer surface of the upper fixture (100a) can be continuously maintained.

[0243] The second-2 sealing member (520) is located at the lower portion of the second-1 bending prevention ring (540) and the upper portion of the second-2 spacer (582). That is, the second-2 sealing member (520) is interposed between the lower portion of the second-1 bending prevention ring (540) and the upper portion of the second-2 spacer (582).

[0244] A second-second O-ring (522) is provided on the outside of the second-second sealing member (520).

[0245] The second-2 O-ring (522) is inserted into the second-2 O-ring groove (521) which is provided to be open in an outward direction on the outside of the second-2 sealing member (520).

[0246] The outer surface of the 2nd O-ring (522) contacts the inner surface of the rotor (200).

[0247] The 2-2 O-ring (522) has a ring shape.

[0248] The second-second O-ring (522) can be made of a material with high flexibility and high sealing properties, such as rubber or silicone.

[0249] A second-second spring groove (523) is provided on the inner side of the second-second sealing member (520).

[0250] The second-second spring groove (523) has a shape that is sunken upward from the lower surface of the second-second sealing member (520). Therefore, the second-second spring groove (523) is open downward.

[0251] A second-second rib (524) is provided on the inner side of the second-second spring home (523).

[0252] The 2nd-2 rib (524) is cut by the 2nd-2 spring groove (523) and has a shape that protrudes downward from the 2nd-2 sealing member (520).

[0253] The inner surface of the second-second rib (524) contacts the outer surface of the fixed body (100), i.e., the upper fixed body (100a).

[0254] The second-second spring (525) is inserted into the second-second spring groove (523).

[0255] The 2nd-2 spring (525) has a ring spring shape in which circular rings with elasticity are connected in a ring shape.

[0256] As the second-2 spring (525) is inserted into the second-2 spring groove (523), the elastic force of the second-2 spring (525) causes the second-2 rib (524) to press inward. Accordingly, contact between the inner surface of the second-2 rib (524) and the outer surface of the upper fixture (100a) can be continuously maintained.

[0257] It is preferable that there be a minus tolerance between the inner surface of the 2-1, 2-2 sealing members (510, 520) and the outer surface of the fixture (100), i.e., the upper fixture (100a). This is so that the inner surface of the 2-1, 2-2 sealing members (510, 520), i.e., the inner surface of each of the 2-1, 2-2 ribs (514, 524), always contacts the outer surface of the upper fixture (100a). Accordingly, the sealing of the rotating body (200) and the fixed body (100) is firmly achieved by the 2-1 and 2-2 sealing members (510, 520), and through this, the fluid flowing in the first chamber (351) and the second chamber (352) is prevented from leaking into the lower part of the first chamber (351) and the upper part of the second chamber (352), i.e., the second sealing member installation space (372).

[0258] The 2-1 and 2-2 sealing members (510, 520) may be made of a composite material of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and glass fiber.

[0259] It is desirable that the 2-1 and 2-2 sealing members (510, 520) have high hardness characteristics of HRC 60 or higher.

[0260] As described above, a coating groove (30) is formed on the outer surface of the fixture (100) (or the upper fixture (100a)), i.e., the outer surface of the second protrusion (112), and as the coating layer (20) is formed in the coating groove (30), the hardness of the outer surface of the second protrusion (112) that comes into contact with the inner surfaces of the 2-1, 2-2 ribs (514, 524) can be improved. Accordingly, the wear resistance of the outer surface of the second protrusion (112) is improved, extending the life of the rotary joint (10), and the sealing of the second sealing portion (500) is maintained firmly, thereby preventing fluid leakage.

[0261] The 2-1 bending prevention ring (540) is interposed between the lower part of the 2-1 sealing member (510) and the upper part of the 2-2 sealing member (520) and has the function of preventing bending (i.e., bending) of the 2-1 sealing member (510) and the 2-2 sealing member (520).

[0262] In detail, even if the pressure inside the first chamber (351) and the second chamber (352) increases due to the fluid flowing inside the first chamber (351) and the second chamber (352), the 2-1 bending prevention ring (540) is interposed between the 2-1 sealing member (510) and the 2-2 sealing member (520) and comes into contact with the lower surface of the 2-1 sealing member (510) and the upper surface of the 2-2 sealing member (520) to support the 2-1 and 2-2 sealing members (510, 520), so that bending of the 2-1 sealing member (510) and the 2-2 sealing member (520) can be prevented.

[0263] The second-first bending prevention ring (540) has an overall ring shape.

[0264] The 2-1 bending prevention ring (540) has a cross-section that is inclined downwardly as the outer side of the upper surface goes outward.

[0265] The second-first bending prevention ring (540) may be made of a high-hardness steel material.

[0266] The 2-1 holder (571) is placed on the upper part of the 2-1 spacer (581).

[0267] The inner side of the rotating body (200) is provided with a 2-1 holder groove (not shown in the drawing) that is sunken in the outward direction.

[0268] The 2-1 holder home is located at a position corresponding to the upper portion of the 2nd sealing part installation space (372).

[0269] The outer side of the 2-1 holder (571) is inserted into the 2-1 holder groove, and the 2-1 holder (571) and the rotating body (200) are combined.

[0270] The 2nd-2 holder (572) is placed at the bottom of the 2nd-2 spacer (582).

[0271] The inner side of the rotating body (200) is provided with a second-second holder groove (not shown in the drawing) that is sunken in the outward direction.

[0272] The 2-2 holder home is provided at the bottom of the 2-1 holder home.

[0273] The 2nd-2 holder home is located at a position corresponding to the lower part of the 2nd sealing part installation space (372).

[0274] The outer side of the 2nd-2 holder (572) is inserted into the 2nd-2 holder groove, and the 2nd-2 holder (572) and the rotating body (200) are combined.

[0275] The 2-1, 2-2 holders (571, 572) are each inserted into the 2-1, 2-2 holder grooves, respectively, so that the 2-1, 2-2 holders (571, 572) are fixedly connected to the rotating body, and the 2-1, 2-2 sealing members (510, 520), the 2-1 bending prevention ring (540), and the 2-1, 2-2 spacers (581, 582) are interposed between the 2-1, 2-2 holders (571, 572), so that the 2nd sealing member (500) is fixedly connected to the rotating body by being pressed up and down by the 2-1, 2-2 holders (571, 572).

[0276] The 2-1, 2-2 holders (571, 572) may have a ring-shaped plate spring shape. Accordingly, the 2-1, 2-2 holders (571, 572) have elasticity in the vertical direction. Accordingly, even if the 2-1, 2-2 holders (571, 572) press the second sealing portion (500) vertically, the 2-1 sealing member (510) and the 2-2 sealing member (520) can be prevented from being damaged by the elasticity of the 2-1, 2-2 holders (571, 572).

[0277] The 2-1 and 2-2 holders (571, 572) can be made of a high-hardness steel material.

[0278] The 2-1 spacer (581) is interposed between the lower part of the 2-1 holder (571) and the upper part of the 2-1 sealing member (510).

[0279] The 2-1 spacer (581) prevents the 2-1 sealing member (510) and the 2-1 holder (571) from making direct contact, thereby preventing the 2-1 sealing member (510) from being damaged by the pressing force of the 2-1 holder (571).

[0280] The 2nd-2 spacer (582) is interposed between the upper part of the 2nd-2 holder (572) and the lower part of the 2nd-2 sealing member (520).

[0281] The 2-2 spacer (582) prevents the 2-2 sealing member (520) and the 2-2 holder (572) from making direct contact, thereby preventing the 2-2 sealing member (520) from being damaged by the pressing force of the 2-2 holder (572).

[0282] The 2-1 spacer (581) and the 2-2 spacer (582) may be made of a high-hardness steel material.

[0283] The second-first spring home (513) is opened in the upper direction of the second sealing portion (500) where the first chamber (351) is located. Accordingly, the second-first spring (515) is exposed in the upper direction of the second sealing portion (500) where the first chamber (351) is located.

[0284] The second-second spring home (523) is opened toward the lower side of the second sealing portion (500) where the second chamber (352) is located. Accordingly, the second-second spring (525) is exposed toward the lower side of the second sealing portion (500) where the second chamber (352) is located.

[0285] As above, the 2-1 spring home (513) and the 2-2 spring home (523) are opened in different directions, and the 2-1 spring (515) and the 2-2 spring (525) are exposed in different directions.

[0286] The second-first rib (514) protrudes upward from the second sealing portion (500) where the first chamber (351) is located, and the second-second rib (524) protrudes downward from the second sealing portion (500) where the second chamber (352) is located.

[0287] As above, the 2nd-1 rib (514) and the 2nd-2 rib (524) protrude in different directions.

[0288] By the shape of the second sealing portion (500) as described above, even if the pressure of the fluid flowing through the first chamber (351) and the second chamber (352) increases when the rotating body (200) rotates, the fluid can be prevented from leaking in the upward or downward direction. It is preferable that the second sealing portion (500) have high sealing properties so that the sealing can be maintained even at a pressure of about 10 bar or more.

[0339] As the third-third spring (635) is inserted into the third-third spring groove (633), the elastic force of the third-third spring (635) causes the third-third rib (634) to press inward. Accordingly, contact between the inner surface of the third-third rib (634) and the outer surface of the upper fixture (100a) can be continuously maintained.

[0340] It is preferable that there be a minus tolerance between the inner surface of the 3-1 to 3-3 sealing members (610, 620, 630) and the outer surface of the fixture (100), i.e., the upper fixture (100a). This is so that the inner surface of the 3-1 to 3-3 sealing members (610, 620, 630), i.e., the inner surface of each of the 3-1 to 3-3 ribs (614, 624, 634), always contacts the outer surface of the upper fixture (100a). Accordingly, the sealing of the rotating body (200) and the fixed body (100) is firmly achieved by the 3-1 to 3-3 sealing members (610, 620, 630), and through this, the fluid flowing in the second chamber (352) is prevented from leaking into the lower part of the second chamber (352), i.e., the third sealing member installation space (373).

[0341] The 3-1 to 3-3 sealing members (610, 620, 630) may be made of a composite material of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and glass fiber.

[0342] It is preferable that the 3-1 to 3-3 sealing members (610, 620, 630) have a high hardness characteristic of HRC 60 or higher.

[0343] As described above, a coating groove (30) is formed on the outer surface of the fixture (100) (or the upper fixture (100a)), i.e., the outer surface of the third protrusion (113), and as the coating layer (20) is formed in the coating groove (30), the hardness of the outer surface of the third protrusion (113) that comes into contact with the inner surfaces of the third-1 to third-3 ribs (614, 624, 634) can be improved. Accordingly, the wear resistance of the outer surface of the third protrusion (113) is improved, extending the life of the rotary joint (10), and the sealing of the third sealing portion (600) is firmly maintained, thereby preventing fluid leakage.

[0344] The 3-1 bending prevention ring (640) is interposed between the lower part of the 3-1 sealing member (610) and the upper part of the 3-2 sealing member (320) and has the function of preventing bending (i.e., bending) of the 3-1 sealing member (610) and the 3-2 sealing member (320).

[0345] In detail, even if the pressure inside the second chamber (352) increases due to the fluid flowing inside the second chamber (352), the 3-1 bending prevention ring (640) is interposed between the 3-1 sealing member (610) and the 3-2 sealing member (320) and comes into contact with the lower surface of the 3-1 sealing member (610) and the upper surface of the 3-2 sealing member (320) to support the 3-1 and 3-2 sealing members (610, 620), so that bending of the 3-1 sealing member (610) and the 3-2 sealing member (320) can be prevented.

[0346] The third-second bending prevention ring (650) is interposed between the lower part of the third-second sealing member (320) and the upper part of the third-third sealing member (330) and has the function of preventing bending (i.e., bending) of the third-second sealing member (320) and the third-third sealing member (330).

[0347] In detail, even if the pressure inside the second chamber (352) increases due to the fluid flowing inside the second chamber (352), the third-second bending prevention ring (650) is interposed between the third-second sealing member (320) and the third-third sealing member (330) and comes into contact with the lower surface of the third-second sealing member (320) and the upper surface of the third-third sealing member (330) to support the third-second and third-third sealing members (620, 630), so that bending of the third-second sealing member (320) and the third-third sealing member (330) can be prevented.

[0348] The 3-1 and 3-2 bending prevention rings (640, 650) have an overall ring shape.

[0349] The 3-1, 3-2 bending prevention ring (640, 650) has a cross-section that is inclined downwardly as the outer side of the upper surface goes outward.

[0350] The 3-1 and 3-2 bending prevention rings (640, 650) may be made of a high-hardness steel material.

[0351] The 3-1 holder (671) is placed on the upper part of the 3-1 spacer (681).

[0352] The inner side of the rotating body (200) is provided with a 3-1 holder groove (not shown in the drawing) that is sunken in the outward direction.

[0353] The 3-1 holder home is located at a position corresponding to the upper part of the 3rd sealing part installation space (373).

[0354] The outer side of the 3-1 holder (671) is inserted into the 3-1 holder groove, and the 3-1 holder (671) and the rotating body (200) are combined.

[0355] The 3-2 holder (672) is placed at the bottom of the 3-2 spacer (682).

[0356] The inner side of the rotating body (200) is provided with a 3-2 holder groove (not shown in the drawing) that is sunken in the outward direction.

[0357] The 3-2 holder home is provided at the bottom of the 3-1 holder home.

[0358] The 3-2 holder home is located at a position corresponding to the lower part of the 2nd sealing part installation space (372).

[0359] The outer side of the 3-2 holder (672) is inserted into the 3-2 holder groove, and the 3-2 holder (672) and the rotating body (200) are combined.

[0360] The 3-1 and 3-2 holders (671, 672) are each inserted into the 3-1 and 3-2 holder grooves, respectively, so that the 3-1 and 3-2 holders (671, 672) are fixedly connected to the rotating body, and the 3-1 to 3-3 sealing members (610, 620, 630), the 3-1 and 3-2 bending prevention rings (640, 650), and the 3-1 and 3-2 spacers (681, 682) are interposed between the 3-1 and 3-2 holders (671, 672), so that the 3rd sealing member (600) is fixedly connected to the rotating body by being pressed up and down by the 3-1 and 3-2 holders (671, 672).

[0361] The 3-1 and 3-2 holders (671 and 672) may have a ring-shaped plate spring shape. Accordingly, the 3-1 and 3-2 holders (671 and 672) have elasticity in the vertical direction. Accordingly, even if the 3-1 and 3-2 holders (671 and 672) press the 3rd sealing member (600) vertically, the 3-1 sealing member (610) and the 3-3 sealing member (330) can be prevented from being damaged by the elasticity of the 3-1 and 3-2 holders (671 and 672).

[0362] The 3-1 and 3-2 holders (671, 672) can be made of a high-hardness steel material.

[0363] The 3-1 spacer (681) is interposed between the lower part of the 3-1 holder (671) and the upper part of the 3-1 sealing member (610).

[0364] The 3-1 spacer (681) prevents the 3-1 sealing member (610) and the 3-1 holder (671) from making direct contact, thereby preventing the 3-1 sealing member (610) from being damaged by the pressing force of the 3-1 holder (671).

[0365] The 3-2 spacer (682) is interposed between the upper part of the 3-2 holder (672) and the lower part of the 3-3 sealing member (330).

[0366] The 3-2 spacer (682) prevents the 3-3 sealing member (330) and the 3-2 holder (672) from making direct contact, thereby preventing the 3-3 sealing member (630) from being damaged by the pressing force of the 3-2 holder (672).

[0367] The 3-1 spacer (681) and the 3-2 spacer (682) may be made of a high-hardness suspension material.

[0368] The third-first drain groove (641) and the third-second drain groove (651) are each provided on one side of the third-first bending prevention ring (640) and the third-second bending prevention ring, respectively. In the present invention, the third-first drain groove (641) and the third-second drain groove (651) are each provided on the left side of the third-first bending prevention ring (640) and the third-second bending prevention ring, respectively.

[0369] The 3-1 drain groove (641) and the 3-2 drain groove (651) are connected to the 2nd drain hole (712) which is provided to penetrate from the inside of the rotating body (200) toward the outside of the rotating body (200).

[0370] The third-1 to third-3 spring grooves (613, 623, 633) are opened in the upper direction of the third sealing portion (600) where the second chamber (352) is located. Accordingly, the third-1 to third-3 springs (615, 625, 635) are exposed in the upper direction of the third sealing portion (600) where the second chamber (352) is located.

[0371] As above, the 3-1 to 3-3 spring grooves (613, 623, 633) are opened in the same direction, and the 3-1 to 3-3 springs (615, 625, 635) are exposed in the same direction.

[0372] The 3rd-1 to 3rd-3rd ribs (614, 624, 634) protrude upward from the 3rd sealing portion (600) where the 2nd chamber (352) is located.

[0373] As above, the 3-1 to 3-3 ribs (614, 624, 634) protrude in the same direction.

[0374] By the shape of the third sealing portion (600) as described above, even if the pressure of the fluid flowing in the second chamber (352) increases when the rotating body (200) rotates, the fluid can be prevented from leaking upward. It is preferable that the third sealing portion (600) have high sealing properties so that the sealing can be maintained even at a pressure of about 10 bar or more.

[0375] Fluid drain section

[0376] The rotary joint (10) of the present invention can be constructed including a fluid drain portion, as shown in FIGS. 1, 4 to 6, 8, 12, and 13, and the fluid drain portion can be configured including first to third drain holes (711, 712, 713) and first and second drain paths (731, 732).

[0377] The first drain hole (711) is provided on the inside of the rotating body (200) so as to be in communication with one side of the first sealing part installation space (371). More specifically, the first drain hole (711) is provided on the inside of the left side of the rotating body (200) at a position corresponding to the first sealing part installation space (371) so as to be in communication with the outside of the first sealing part installation space (371).

[0378] The second drain hole (712) is provided on the inside of the rotating body (200) so as to be in communication with one side of the second sealing part installation space (372). More specifically, the second drain hole (712) is provided on the inside of the left side of the rotating body (200) at a position corresponding to the third sealing part installation space (373) so as to be in communication with the outside of the third sealing part installation space (373).

[0379] The first drain euro (731) connects the first drain hole (711) and the second drain hole (712).

[0380] The first drain euro (731) is provided on the left side of the rotating body (200).

[0381] The first drain euro (731) is protected by a pipe and exposed to the outside.

[0382] The third drain hole (713) is provided on the outside of the fixture (100) so as to be in communication with the third sealing part installation space (373). More specifically, the third drain hole (713) is provided on the front outside of the fixture (100) at a position corresponding to the third sealing part installation space (373) so as to be in communication with the third sealing part installation space (373).

[0383] The third drain hole (713) is formed to penetrate from the outside to the inside of the fixture (100) and extend to penetrate from the top to the bottom.

[0384] The second drain euro (732) is connected to the third drain hole (713) on one side.

[0385] The second drain urea (732) is provided in front of the fixture (100), i.e., the lower fixture (100b).

[0386] The second drain euro (732) is protected by a pipe and exposed to the outside.

[0387] The second drain euro (732) is connected to an external fluid recovery unit (not shown) on the other side, so that the third drain hole (713) can be connected to the external fluid recovery unit.

[0388] The first to third drain grooves (441, 451, 461) are connected to the first drain hole (711).

[0389] The 3-1 and 3-2 drain grooves (641, 651) are connected to the 2nd and 3rd drain holes (712, 713).

[0390] The fluid leaked from the first chamber (351) to the first sealing portion installation space (371) flows through the first-1 to first-3 drain grooves (441, 451, 461) to the first drain hole (711), the first drain path (731), and the second drain hole (712). Thereafter, the leaked fluid flows to the external fluid recovery unit through the third drain hole (713) and the second drain path (732), so that the leaked fluid can be recovered.

[0391] The fluid leaked from the second chamber (352) to the third sealing portion installation space (373) flows through the third-1, 3-2 drain grooves (641, 651) to the second drain hole (712), the third drain hole (713), and the second drain path (732) to the external fluid recovery unit, so that the leaked fluid can be recovered.

[0392] As described above, since the fluid drain section is provided, the fluid leaked into the first sealing section installation space (371) and the third sealing section installation space (373) can be easily recovered to the external fluid recovery section, thereby preventing the fluid from leaking into the hollow (105) and other locations.

[0393] First slope (111a) and second slope (112a)

[0394] The rotary joint (10) of the present invention may be configured to further include a first inclined portion (111a) and a second inclined portion (112a), as shown in FIGS. 8 and 10.

[0395] The first inclined portion (111a) may be provided on the upper surface of the first protrusion (111) of the upper fixed body (100a), i.e., the fixed body (100) located at the upper portion of the first chamber (351).

[0396] The first inclined portion (111a) is formed to slope inwardly as it increases upward from the upper surface of the first protrusion (111).

[0397] The second slope (112a) may be provided on the upper surface of the second protrusion (112) of the upper fixture (100a), i.e., the fixture (100) located at the lower portion of the first chamber (351).

[0398] The second inclined portion (112a) is formed to slope inwardly as it increases upward from the upper surface of the second protrusion (112).

[0399] The first slope part (111a) and the second slope part (112a) have a function of preventing damage to the first sealing part (400) and the second sealing part (500) when the fixed body (100) is inserted into the rotating body (200) and the fixed body (100) is connected.

[0400] To explain in detail, when the rotating body (200) and the fixed body (100) are combined, the rotating body (200) is turned upside down while the first sealing part (400), the second sealing part (500), and the third sealing part (600) are combined on the inside of the rotating body (200), and then the fixed body (100) is inserted into the inside of the rotating body (200).

[0401] The fixed body (100) is inserted into the inner hollow of the rotating body (200) in the order of the first protrusion (111), the second protrusion (112), and the third protrusion (113).

[0402] When the fixture (100) is inserted, the first to third ribs (414, 424, 434) of the first sealing portion (400) and the second to second ribs (524) of the second sealing portion (500) protrude in the opposite direction to the direction in which the fixture (100) is inserted (i.e., upward with respect to the upside-down rotating body (200).

[0403] In addition, as described above, in order to increase the sealing property, the inner surface of the first to first-third ribs (414, 424, 434) and the second to second ribs (524) and the outer surface of the fixture (100) have a minus tolerance, so that when the fixture (100) is inserted, the upper surface of the first protrusion (111) and the second protrusion (112) come into contact with the second-second rib (524) and the first to first-third ribs (414, 424, 434), and the second-second rib (524) and the first to first-third ribs (414, 424, 434) may be damaged.

[0404] Accordingly, the first inclined portion (111a) prevents the second-second rib (524) and the first-first to first-third ribs (414, 424, 434) from directly contacting the upper surface of the first protrusion (111) when the upper fixed body (100a) is inserted into the inner hollow of the rotating body (200), thereby preventing damage to the second-second rib (524) and the first-first to first-third ribs (414, 424, 434).

[0405] In addition, the second slope (112a) prevents the second-second rib (524) from directly contacting the upper surface of the second protrusion (112) when the upper fixed body (100a) is inserted into the inner hollow of the rotating body (200), thereby preventing damage to the second-second rib (524).

[0406] First and second air vent passages (171, 172) and first to third temperature sensors (181, 182, 183)

[0407] The rotary joint (10) of the present invention may be configured to further include first and second air vent channels (171, 172) and first to third temperature sensors (181, 182, 183), as shown in FIG. 3.

[0408] The first air vent euro (171) is connected to the upper part of the first chamber (351) and is provided in the fixture (100) to discharge air from the first chamber (351).

[0409] More specifically, the first air vent passage (171) is formed to penetrate vertically from the upper portion of the first chamber (351) toward the upper fixture (100a), and then is bent inwardly to penetrate left and right into the inner portion of the upper fixture (100a). Accordingly, the first air vent passage (171) is connected to the hollow portion (105) provided on the inner portion of the upper fixture (100a).

[0410] The first air vent euro (171) has the function of discharging air from the air pocket existing in the upper part of the first chamber (351) to the outside of the rotary joint (10) through the hollow (105).

[0411] The second air vent euro (172) is connected to the upper part of the second chamber (352) and is provided in the fixture (100) to discharge air from the second chamber (352).

[0412] More specifically, the second air vent passage (172) is formed to penetrate vertically from the upper portion of the second chamber (352) toward the upper fixture (100a), and then is bent inwardly to penetrate left and right into the inner portion of the upper fixture (100a). Accordingly, the second air vent passage (172) is connected to the hollow portion (105) provided on the inner portion of the upper fixture (100a).

[0413] The second air vent euro (172) has the function of discharging air from the air pocket existing in the upper part of the second chamber (352) to the outside of the rotary joint (10) through the hollow (105).

[0414] The second air vent passage (172) is arranged below the first air vent passage (171).

[0415] The first temperature sensor (181) may be provided inside the first protrusion (111) of the fixture (100) to measure the temperature of the first sealing portion (400).

[0416] The first temperature sensor (181) is located at a position corresponding to the first sealing portion installation space (371) and can measure the temperature of the first sealing portion (400).

[0417] The second temperature sensor (182) may be provided inside the second protrusion (112) of the fixture (100) to measure the temperature of the second sealing portion (500).

[0418] The second temperature sensor (182) is located at a position corresponding to the second sealing part installation space (372) and can measure the temperature of the second sealing part (500).

[0419] The third temperature sensor (183) may be provided inside the third protrusion (113) of the fixture (100) to measure the temperature of the third sealing portion (600).

[0420] The third temperature sensor (183) is located at a position corresponding to the third sealing part installation space (373) and can measure the temperature of the third sealing part (600).

[0421] The first to third temperature sensors (181, 182, 183) are connected to a control unit (not shown), and the temperature measured by the first to third temperature sensors (181, 182, 183) can be monitored through the control unit.

[0422] The wires connected to each of the first to third temperature sensors (181, 182, 183) can be connected to the control unit and other electrical devices through the hollow (105).

[0423] As described above, the first to third temperature sensors (181, 182, 183) measure the temperature of the first to third sealing parts (600), thereby monitoring the status of the first to third sealing parts (600) of the rotary joint (10), and through this, it is possible to easily determine whether the first to third sealing parts (600) need to be replaced or are damaged.

[0424] As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, but it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications or variations may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the following claims.
