According to the embodiment of the application, the first sealing lip 21 is in interference fit with the dust cover 1, so that the risk that impurities, silt and the like in the external environment enter the second sealing lip 22 through the gap between the dust cover 1 and the oil seal 2 can be effectively reduced, the sealing effect of the speed reducer is improved, the risk that the second sealing lip 22 is damaged outside is reduced, and the reliable protection effect on the second sealing lip 22 is achieved.
Optionally, the dust cover 1 includes an outer ring and an inner ring forming the first through hole, and the dust cover 1 further includes a bending portion disposed between the outer ring and the inner ring, the bending portion includes a first bending ring 11, a second bending ring 12, and a straight ring 13 between the first bending ring 11 and the second bending ring 12, an axis of the straight ring 13 is parallel to an axis of the half shaft 3, and the first sealing lip 21 is in interference fit with an inner wall of the straight ring 13.
In this embodiment, the bent portions provided on the inner ring and the outer ring are configured to be in contact with the first seal lip 21, thereby realizing seal protection. Specifically, the bending portion includes a first bending ring 11, a second bending ring 12, and a straight ring 13 between the first bending ring 11 and the second bending ring 12, where the axis of the straight ring 13 is parallel to the axis of the half shaft 3. The first bending ring 11 and the second bending ring 12 refer to rings with bending on the inner wall, and as shown in fig. 1 to 2, the opening directions of the first bending ring 11 and the second bending ring 12 can be opposite. The first sealing lip 21 is in interference fit with the inner wall of the straight ring 13, the straight ring 13 refers to a ring with no bending on the inner wall, and the length of the inner wall of the straight ring 13 can be longer. The related parts of the main reducer have dimensional tolerance and assembly tolerance in the axial direction of the half shaft 3, and the length of the inner wall of the straight ring 13 is longer, so that the first sealing lip 21 can still be in interference fit with the inner wall of the straight ring 13 under the limit tolerance, but not with the inner wall of the first bending ring 11 or the second bending ring 12.
According to the embodiment of the application, the first sealing lip 21 is matched with the straight ring 13 of the bending part instead of the bending ring, so that the contact fit interference of the dust cover 1 and the first sealing lip 21 is beneficial to meeting the design requirement, and the consistency and stability of the fit state are further ensured.
Optionally, the straight ring 13 is a straight ring 13 with equal inner diameter.
The straight coils 13 are straight coils 13 with equal inner diameters, that is, the inner diameter dimensions of the straight coils 13 are the same in the axial direction. Through this setting, at dust cover 1 and the relative friction in-process of operation of oil blanket 2, can remain interference fit throughout, maintain sealing performance.
