Abstract

The effects of different structural parameters on the sealing performance of self-tightening metal U-shaped seal rings were studied. A two-dimensional axisymmetric model of a self-tightening U-shaped seal ring was established using finite element software. The influence of structural parameters such as side wall thickness, bottom wall thickness and boss radius on the sealing performance of the seal ring was analyzed by the control variable method. The results show that as the thickness of the side wall increases, the stress shows a downward parabolic trend, which is the smallest at 0.55 to 0.65 mm; as the bottom wall thickness increases, the stress first increases steadily, and then decreases slowly after 0.8 to 0.9 mm; When the inclination angle is from 0 to 9 °, the sealing ring can obtain better sealing performance. The results have guiding significance for the design, optimization and application of subsequent seal ring structures.
