Research into the Design and Test Method of Large Diameter Sealing Assembly
The design and test method of a large-diameter sealing assembly of a single-point mooring power slip ring is explored.The selection process of pan plug sealing ring is described and com-pared.The form of bearing self-sealing structure is improved,and the sealing ring and the mount-ing bearing base are designed separately,then the pan plug seals are installed by using pressing sleeve technology,which greatly reduces the assembly difficulty and failure risk.The sealing as-sembly can be used as a stand-alone module to maintain or replace in later maintenance.A set of special test fixtures is designed to verify the reliability and life of sealing components,and the test methods and procedures are briefly described,which provides a reference for the design,assembly and testing of similar large diameter sealing structures.
