Press-Fit Multi-Ring Seal Assembly Without Joining Lines

The seal is divided into multiple independent rings (first seal ring, second seal ring, third seal ring) that can be manufactured separately using simple punching processes, then assembled together. Each ring maintains its structural integrity while the segmented design eliminates the need for complex guidance principles in individual components.

The seal rings are designed to nest within each other through press-fit connections, with the first seal ring fitting into the second, and the second fitting into the third. This nested arrangement provides stable positioning and pressure-bearing capability without requiring complex tongue-and-groove guidance structures.

The component boundaries are pre-formed with perpendicular edges during the punching process, creating ready-to-assemble components with built-in alignment features. This preliminary formation of precise boundaries eliminates the need for subsequent costly machining operations to achieve fitting precision.

The perpendicular component boundaries formed by punching automatically provide the guidance and alignment needed for precise assembly. The geometry of the punched edges themselves serves the dual function of defining component limits and enabling precise fitting, without requiring additional guidance features or processing.

Multiple punched rings are combined through press-fit assembly to form a complete seal structure. The merging of these simple circular components creates a closed, continuous sealing structure that eliminates the need for joining lines, welds, or adhesives that would compromise sealing integrity.

The seal structure maintains homogeneous material properties throughout, using the same punching and press-fit process for all components. This homogeneous construction approach ensures uniform sealing characteristics without introducing heterogeneous joining methods that would create weak points or leakage paths.
