Abstract

The rotary joint connecting the upper and lower structures of construction machinery and special vehicles transmits hydraulic pressure as the shaft and housing rotate, and multiple seals are assembled to prevent oil leakage into the oil flow channel. Because the seal material is rigid and difficult to assemble, we sought a method to assemble it after cutting. The shapes of the cutting surface are L-shaped and / shaped, and the leakage standard when hydraulic pressure is applied is the contact pressure generated on the cutting surface. The structure and material of the seal are composed of a double elastomer, and nonlinear contact structural analysis is performed when only the high-rigidity PE material is cut. Studies have shown that the shorter the cutting length, the better the leakage prevention and the higher the possibility of leakage to the bottom surface where NBR and PE come into contact rather than the top surface where the PE and the housing come into contact.

건설기계와 특장차의 상부와 하부 구조를 연결하는 로터리 조인트는 축과 하우징이 회전하면서 유압을 전달하는데 오일의 유로에 누유를 방지하기 위해 여러 개의 시일이 조립된다. 시일재료는 강성이 커서 조립에 어려움이 있기 때문에 자른 후 조립하는 방법을 모색하였다. 절단면의 모양은 L형과 /형으로 하였고 유압이 작용할 때 누유 기준은 절단면에 발생하는 접촉압력으로 하였다. 시일의 구조와 재료는 이중 탄성중합체로 구성되며 강성이 큰 PE 재질만 절단한 경우에 대하여 비선형 접촉 구조해석을 수행하였다. 연구결과 절단 길이가 짧을수록 누유 방지에 유리하며 PE와 하우징이 접촉하는 윗면보다 NBR과 PE가 접촉하는 아랫면으로 누유될 가능성이 큰 것으로 나타났다.
