Abstract

In the present invention, while a rotary shaft is stationary or rotating at a low speed, a lip part is brought into pressure contact with a contact surface provided on a housing to seal between the rotary shaft on the leading end side of a device and the housing, and the lip part is separated from the contact surface to release the sealing when the rotary shaft rotates at a prescribed rotation speed exceeding the low-speed rotation or higher. The present invention comprises a deformation reduction member that limits deformation of the lip part while the rotary shaft is rotating. The housing is provided with an outer-diameter-side flow path through which air sucked into the device from the outside flows in the device, and the outer-diameter-side flow path is provided with an outer-diameter-side spiral passage. An air discharge path for discharging air from the leading end side of the device is in communication with the outer-diameter-side flow path, and a sealing device is disposed in the air discharge path. In addition to the centrifugal force of the rotary shaft in rotation, the air flowing through the outer-diameter-side flow path acts at the time when the lip part of the sealing device is separated from the contact surface.

Abstract

According to the present invention, while a rotating shaft is stationary or rotating at a low speed, a lip portion is in pressure contact with a contact surface provided on a housing, forming a seal between the rotating shaft on a device tip side and the housing, and when the rotating shaft is at or above a predetermined rotational speed exceeding the low-speed rotation, the lip portion separates from the contact surface as a result of a centrifugal force associated with the rotating shaft, thereby releasing the seal. A deformation suppressing member is provided to limit deformation of the lip portion during the rotation of the rotating shaft. A lid member is provided with a blade for sucking in external air and feeding the air into the housing under pressure, and the housing is provided with an outer diameter-side passage path through which the air sucked into the device from the outside by the rotation of the lid member flows through the device. An air discharge path for discharging air at least from the tip end side of the device communicates with the outer diameter-side passage path, and a sealing device is disposed in the air discharge path. When the lip portion of the sealing device separates from the contact surface, the air pressure of the air flowing through the outer diameter-side passage path acts in addition to the centrifugal force during the rotation of the rotating shaft.

Abstract

While a rotary shaft is stationary or rotating at a low speed, a lip part is brought into pressure contact with a contact surface provided to a housing to seal between the housing and the rotary shaft on the device-distal-end side, and while the rotary shaft is rotating at least at a prescribed rotation speed exceeding the low speed, the lip part is separated from the contact surface by centrifugal force associated with the rotary shaft to release the sealing. The present invention comprises a deformation suppression member that limits deformation of a lip part during rotation of a rotary shaft. The rotary shaft is provided with an impeller that suctions external air and force-feeds the air into a housing. The housing is provided with an outside-diameter-side passage path through which the air suctioned into the device from the outside by the rotation of the impeller flows within the device. An air discharge path via which air is discharged at least from the device-distal-end side communicates with the outside-diameter-side passage path, and a sealing device is disposed in the air discharge path. When the lip part of the sealing device is separated from the contact surface, the air pressure of the air flowing through the outside-diameter-side passage path acts in addition to the centrifugal force during the rotation of the rotary shaft.

Abstract

Provided is a sealing device for sealing a fluid passage for fluid ejection provided at an axial end portion of a housing for rotatably supporting a rotary shaft. A sealing member having a lip part that closes the fluid passage when the rotary shaft is in a stationary state and that opens the fluid passage when the rotary shaft is rotating is included. Due to at least one of the centrifugal force from rotation of the rotary shaft and the pressing force of a fluid, the lip part is separated from a pressure contact part where the lip part is brought into pressure contact with the housing, thereby opening the fluid passage and allowing the fluid to be ejected from both axial end portions of the housing. The sealing member includes a body part composed of a ring member, and the ring-shaped lip part continuously provided from the body part via a circumferential recessed groove. The lip part is received in the circumferential recessed groove of the sealing member, and a deformation suppression ring for preventing excessive deformation from the pressure contact part when the rotary shaft is rotated is fitted with the sealing member.

Abstract

This reverse input blocking clutch has an input member to which torque is input, an output member from which torque is output, a first brake member and second brake member which are capable of reciprocating motion in the radial direction, and a stationary member which is disposed radially outward from the first brake member and second brake member. The present invention comprises a separating movement mechanism for moving the first brake member and second brake member in a direction separating from the stationary member using the input of torque to the input member, and a transmission mechanism for transmitting the torque input to the input member to the output member in a state in which the first brake member and second brake member are separated from the stationary member. Reverse input of torque to the output member causes the first brake member and second brake member to move in directions separating from one another in the radial direction, and the transmission of the torque from the output member to the input member is blocked.
