Abstract: The efficiency-reinforcement design framework for hydraulic reciprocating seal is proposed, and the function attributes analysis model for reciprocating seal system is built. Through analyzing the components, functions and attributes of elastomeric hydraulic reciprocating seal system, the attributes that influence seal efficiency-reinforcement are identified. By eliminating the function attributes that lead to seal leakage and seal failure, and/or by improving the function attributes that are insufficient in seal, the efficiency-reinforcement design concept can be obtained. A new seal efficiency-reinforcement design solution is also present using this method.

Abstract: An energy-saving design for hydraulic cylinder reciprocating seal is proposed in this paper to improve using efficiency of seal, and reduce environmental pollution and energy consumption caused by oil leakage. HOQ of QFD is utilized to translate customer requirements into technical design requirements controlled by environmental factors, and the conflicts between technical requirements are obtained. TRIZ theory is used to resolve the conflicts, and gets energy-saving design solutions. The energy consumption compare between before and after improving seal is presented to illustrate the validation of the methods.

Abstract: The dynamic seal mechanism of hydrodynamic reciprocating sealing is discussed. TRIZ S-Field model and standard solutions is proposed. The reliability and effectivity S-Field models of hydrodynamic reciprocating sealing are constructed according to typical hydrodynamic reciprocating sealing configuration shapes, such as O-ring sealing, Y-ring sealing and polymer sealing. The leakage and failure problems solutions of hydrodynamic reciprocating sealing as well as their configuration realization are studied based on TRIZ S-Field analysis and standard solutions, which offer powerful theoretic guides for efficiency-reinforcement technology of hydrodynamic reciprocating sealing.

Abstract: The efficiency reinforcement technologies of sealing is important for improving sealing’s reliability and effectivity which result in zero leakage. Technology evolution of TRIZ can be used to forecast the future technology in products. These future technologies can guide a designer along the right direction of developing a new product. In this paper, the efficiency-reinforcement principle of hydrodynamic reciprocating sealing is discussed, technology evolution of TRIZ is integrated with the efficiency reinforcement design of hydrodynamic reciprocating sealing element to predict its future structure state. A new cross section shape of reciprocating sealing element corresponding to the predicted structure state is presented. The computational model of the new reciprocating seal element is established with ANSYS, and its stress, strain and pressure distribution are also analyzed. The results demonstrated that the presented seal elemente outperforms the old O-ring seal in efficiency reinforcement capacity.

Abstract: Many solution tools TRIZ provided, such as innovative principles, technology evolution, have been widely used for product innovative design in last decade. The key using TRIZ to improve design is the correct definition and solving of technical problems. However, it’s difficult for engineers to discover the inherent problems of product, especially for complex engineering systems. Therefore, this paper proposes a whole process model for product systematical innovation design, whose objective is to obtain ideal solution and whose technical method is to analyze and solve conflicts. This model integrates the definition, analysis of problems from top to bottom, with the resolving of problems from bottom to top, and will contribute to a systematic and operable process for problems definition, analysis, resolving. A practical application of this work is also presented.
