In order to explore the related factors affecting the leakage characteristics of the combined elastic metal seal, the working principle and leakage characteristics of the combined elastic metal seal were theoretically analyzed, a combined elastic metal seal leakage characteristics experiment platform was designed and built to explore the factors affecting the leakage characteristics of the combined elastic metal seal, and the structure of the combined elastic metal seal was optimized according to the influencing factors. The optimized structure was further verified by experiments. The results showed that the leakage of the combined elastic metal seal increased with the increase of compression and chamber pressure. The calculation of engine characteristic curve showed that the internal flow field of the combined elastic metal seal changed obviously at the pressure ratio of 1.5—2.0, and gradually became stable after the pressure ratio of 2.0. Based on the experimental results of the original structure, the combined elastic metal seal structure can be optimized by improving the elastic potential energy of the elastic sheet and the gap between the pin and the U-shaped groove. The optimized structure was improved from the width of the elastic sheet, the thickness of the sealing sheet and the contact point between the pin and the U-shaped groove. The optimized leakage was reduced by 29.87% and the optimized effective flow area was reduced by 22.98% compared with the initial experimental results, indicating that the optimized combined elastic metal can significantly reduce the leakage and achieve better sealing effect.
