摘要: O型橡胶密封圈是航空航天密封机构中一个重要的零部件, 由于其服役工况条件复杂, 极易出现密封失效进而影响机构系统的正常运行。本文针对O型密封圈的选型及动密封失效问题, 基于ABAQUS建立了O型橡胶密封圈的二维轴对称模型, 分析了不同橡胶材料O型密封圈在往复运动时的应力变化, 探究了压缩率、摩擦因数、介质压力对其密封性能的影响, 并对其在往复运动中的失效形式和失效位置进行了预判。研究表明, 相比于三元乙丙橡胶和氟橡胶, 相同条件下丁腈橡胶密封圈密封性能较好; 预压缩的过程中, O型橡胶密封圈被压缩而发生变形呈鼓形, 最大Von Mises应力出现在密封圈与密封凹槽和活塞轴接触位置。往复运动过程中, 随着压缩率、摩擦因数和介质压力的增大, O型橡胶密封圈的最大Von Mises应力和最大接触应力都随之增大; 当行程结束时, 其最大Von Mises应力值达到一个峰值, 且摩擦因数越大, 峰值越大; 最大Von Mises应力和接触应力都会随着介质压力的增大而增大, 在活塞拐角处较容易发生应力集中现象。本研究可为O型橡胶密封圈的材料选择及动密封的参数调控提供理论依据。Abstract: The O-ring seal is an important component in aerospace seal structures, and its operating conditions are complex, which easily leads to seal failure and affects the normal operation of the system. This paper focuses on the selection and dynamic sealing failure of O-ring seals, and establishes a two-dimensional axisymmetric model of O-ring rubber seal based on ABAQUS to analyze the stress changes of different rubber material O-ring seals during reciprocating motion, and explore the effects of compression rate, friction coefficient, and medium pressure on the sealing performance, and predict the failure mode and location during reciprocating motion. The research shows that compared with Ethylene-Propylene-Diene monomer rubber and fluorous rubber, nitrile rubber O-ring seals have better sealing performance under the same conditions. During the precompression process, the O-ring rubber seal is compressed and deformed into a drum shape, and the maximum Von Mises stress appears at the contact position of the seal ring, the sealing groove, and the piston shaft. During reciprocating motion, the maximum Von Mises stress and maximum contact stress of O-ring rubber seals both increase with the increase of compression rate, friction coefficient and medium pressure; when the stroke ends, its maximum Von Mises stress value reaches a peak, and the peak value increases with the increase of friction coefficient; the maximum Von Mises stress and contact stress both increase with the increase of medium pressure, and stress concentration is prone to occur at the piston corner. This study can provide theoretical basis for material selection and dynamic sealing parameter control of O-ring rubber seals.
