摘要: 磁性液体密封作为一种新型密封方式,具有零泄漏、高可靠性、寿命长等优点,然而由于磁性液体密封结构的特殊性,密封间隙内磁性液体在失效过程中产生的泄漏通道难以观测。针对此问题,理论推导了毛细管中磁性液体密封破裂时泄漏通道的位置与形状,建立了毛细管中的磁性液体密封实验系统,设计了泄漏通道的可视化光路系统,通过实验证明了通道的位置出现在毛细管的几何中心处,且其横截面的几何形状为长轴平行于磁场方向的类椭圆形,进一步拓展了磁性液体密封的机理研究内容。

Abstract: Magnetic fluid seal is a new type of sealing method that offer several advantages, including “zero” leakage, high reliability, and long life. However, due to the particular structure of magnetic fluid seals, it can be difficult to observe the leakage path generated in in the sealing gap during the sealing failure process. And this results in incomplete research on the mechanism of magnetic fluid seal. To conduct a visualization research on leakage path of magnetic fluid seal, the location and shape of the leakage path resulting from a ruptured magnetic fluid seal in a capillary tube can be determined through theoretical derivation. A visual structure is designed based on the magnetic fluid seal experimental system in a capillary tube and relative experiments are conducted to confirm this theory. The results showed that the leakage path is situated at the geometric center of the capillary tube. The cross-section of the path is similar to an ellipse, with its long axis parallel to the direction of the magnetic fields.

Key words: magnetic fluid, seal, leakage path, visualization of seal
