Problems solved by technology

This kind of elastic element torsion bar still has the disadvantages of complex structure, heavy maintenance workload, and low fatigue life.
In addition, U.S. Patents US4232563 and US4435097 respectively disclose a tapered-cylindrical combined rubber-metal laminated bearing and a tapered rubber-metal laminated elastic bearing. Bearings of this structure can only bear compressive loads and torsional loads. load, but not shimmy loads

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technology of controlling internal moving / vibrating elastomer members in mechanical systems and the like and relates to a spherical elastic bearing for a helicopter rotor wing and a molding method thereof. The bearing comprises two rigid members, wherein one end face of the first rigid member has a central concave spherical face, and a bolt through hole for fixed connection with a paddle component of the rotor wing of the helicopter is formed on a lateral face of the first rigid member; one end face of the second rigid member has a central convex spherical face which is concentric with the central concave spherical face of the first rigid member, and a mounting hole for fixed connection with a central member of a paddle hub of the helicopter rotor wing is formed on a lateral side of the second rigid member; and a rigid spherical spacer is arranged between the two rigid members, the spherical centre of the rigid spherical spacer is the same as the central concave spherical face of the first rigid member, a through hole is formed in the centre of the rigid spherical spacer, and an elastic material is filled between the rigid spherical spacer and the first rigid member and between the rigid spherical spacer and the second rigid member. The spherical elastic bearing needs no lubricant, and the service life of the spherical elastic bearing is 5 to 10 times as long as the traditional bearing, and the structure is relatively simple.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the elastic component technology for controlling internal motion / vibration of a mechanical system and the like, and relates to a spherical elastic bearing for a helicopter rotor and a forming method thereof. Background technique [0002] The helicopter rotor system is composed of blades and hubs. The traditional articulated (also known as fully articulated) rotor hub realizes the flapping, shimmy and pitch-changing motions of the blades by setting flapping hinges, shimmy hinges and pitch-variable hinges on the hub. Thrust bearings are used in the axial hinge to bear the centrifugal force and achieve variable pitch motion. Traditional thrust bearings use anti-friction metal bearings, which have always had disadvantages such as fast wear, short life, need for lubricants and uneven distribution of lubricants, and difficult maintenance and overhaul. [0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional metal bearings, US ...
