GE Quick Connect and Seal V1 · 模型 120979

Proposed to use 2 established machine design techniques but adapt them to suit the rectangular configuration of this problem. 1; O-Ring and Dovetail grove system. 2; Internal Circlip technique. Both of these have been used on circular shafts for very high pressure hydraulic applications in industry. They have an advantage of both being self retained once assembled and get progressively better when put under pressure. . 1; Seal Ring (O-Ring) - the BLACK item in model images. The O-Ring has been guided to swing in a larger radius as it approaches the edge of the rectangular block, it then falls over this curved edge at an angle that causes the seal to travel forward and turn downwards. It mirrors this sequence to come back under the block. According to the manufacturers guidelines using the dovetail groove recommended tolerances, this seal will perform far in excess of the challenge specification if the cavity housing does not distort under the 3 bar pressure. The seal will also deliver -1bar vacuum. I will scan and upload the data sheets later. . 2; Retaining Clip - The WHITE item in the last model image. The clip is made to retain the block by being inserted into a groove in the Cavity housing. The face of this groove is angled to cause the block to tighten the clip as pressure increases. This clip will be in two halves and inserted from the front. As the clip is distributing the force caused by the pressure build up across the total cross sectional area of the cavity housing, total failure of the housing would have to occur for the block to disengage. (The material for the clip can be chosen to withstand the shearing force across the clips full length, for example it could be metal!!) To complete this calculation for the maximum force, the data for the material used in the cavity needs to be inputed but it would seem at first glance to be extremely high, far in excess of 3 bar on the blocks surface. This fixture is removable if required. . ********* This is a work in progress ************ . To do. a; Submit the relevant data sheets. b; Obtain data for the materials used in the cavity housing. c; Install a spring stop to position the block (brick) at the required location. This will probably be a rubber strip to allow the clip to engage with the groove. d;Split the block along the Dovetail to allow moulding in two parts. These will be glued together before inserting the seal. e; etc..... *************** Updated 24t...
