Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bearings, and in particular to a double-inner-ring double-row angular contact ball bearing. Background Art

[0002] Bearings are a vital, fundamental component in modern machinery. Double-row angular contact ball bearings are typically designed in a back-to-back or face-to-face arrangement, resulting in high rigidity and the ability to withstand bidirectional axial loads and a certain amount of tipping torque. This design provides similar performance to two single-row angular contact ball bearings arranged back-to-back, but with a narrower overall width, saving installation space.

[0003] However, due to the small contact angle of double-row angular contact ball bearings in existing technology, their radial and axial load capacity is limited. The seal rings are typically assembled using a plug-in design, which can easily damage the edges during assembly. The assembled structure is relatively independent and has low strength. Furthermore, current double-row angular contact ball bearings are typically designed with only a single inner ring, enabling only unidirectional rotation and failing to meet the requirement for simultaneous bidirectional rotation of the inner ring.

[0028] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and those skilled in the art may conceive of other obvious variations.

[0029] like Figures 1-8 A double inner ring double row angular contact ball bearing shown in FIG, comprises an outer ring 1, two inner rings 2 are arranged on the inner side of the outer ring 1, a retaining frame 4 is provided between the inner ring 2 and the outer ring 1, a plurality of balls 3 arranged in an annular array are slidably embedded on the surface of the retaining frame 4, the surfaces of the balls 3 are in contact with the inner wall of the outer ring 1 and the outer surface of the inner ring 2, sealing rings 7 are slidably embedded on the sides of the two inner rings 2 away from each other, limiting grooves 8 are respectively provided on the two side ports of the outer ring 1, the outer edge of the sealing ring 7 is embedded in the inner side of the limiting groove 8, an annular groove 11 is provided on the inner wall of the limiting groove 8, the edge of the sealing ring 7 is connected to the limiting column 12 through a pop-up mechanism, a plurality of insertion rods 22 slide through the two sealing rings 7 together, one end of the insertion rod 22 is fixedly connected to a fixing screw head 21, the other end of the insertion rod 22 is threadedly sleeved with a locking nut 23, and the insertion rod 22 slides through the two retaining frames 4;

[0030] When the locking nut 23 is tightened, the locking nut 23 and the fixing screw head 21 respectively cause the ejection mechanism to push the limiting post 12 to be inserted into the inner side of the annular groove 11 .

[0031] The side surface of the inner ring 2 is provided with a groove 9, and the inner edge of the sealing ring 7 is provided with a snap-in portion 10, which slides into the inner side of the groove 9. This design makes the assembly process between the sealing ring 7 and the inner ring 2 more accurate and convenient.

[0032] Two first grooves 5 are defined on the inner wall of the outer ring 1. Second grooves 6 are defined on the adjacent outer surfaces of the two inner rings 2. The balls 3 fit between the first and second grooves 5, 6. The first and second grooves 5, 6 serve as guides, facilitating assembly of the retainer 4 and the balls 3, ensuring more stable rolling motion of the balls 3 during use.

[0033] The adjacent sides of the two retainers 4 are respectively provided with a plurality of rolling grooves 27, and the balls 3 slide into the inner sides of the rolling grooves 27. The main function of the retainers 4 is to limit the relative position of the balls 3 and prevent the adjacent spacing of the balls 3 from being too small and hindering the rotation.

[0034] The ejection mechanism includes a socket 13 formed on the inner side of the sealing ring 7. An inner sliding opening 14 is formed on the side of the socket 13 closest to the ball bearing 3, and an outer sliding opening 18 is formed on the side of the socket 13 away from the ball bearing 3. A limiting post 12 slides into the inner side of the socket 13. An angled block 19 and a sliding plate 17 are fixedly connected to the two side surfaces of the limiting post 12. The angled block 19 slides into the inner side of the outer sliding opening 18, and the sliding plate 17 slides into the inner side of the inner sliding opening 14. An elastic mechanism is provided on the upper surface of the sliding plate 17. The limiting post 12 snaps into the inner side of the annular groove 11 to limit the position of the sealing ring 7, preventing the outer edge of the sealing ring 7 from disengaging from the groove 9 and improving the stability of the sealing ring 7 assembly.

[0035] The elastic mechanism includes a mounting base 15 fixedly connected to the end of the inner sliding opening 14 away from the sliding plate 17. A compression spring 16 is fixedly connected between the mounting base 15 and the sliding plate 17. The elastic force of the compression spring 16 causes the retaining post 12 to retract inside the insertion hole 13 when the sealing ring 7 is not assembled, without interfering with the sealing ring 7's edge insertion into the retaining groove 8.

[0036] The adjacent surfaces of the fixing screw head 21 and the locking nut 23 are each fixedly connected to a limit plate 24. A notch 20 is formed on the outer surface of the bevel block 19, and the edge of the limit plate 24 engages the inner side of the notch 20. The design of the limit plate 24 makes the contact and pushing process with the bevel block 19 smoother, and the design of the notch 20 makes the limit plate 24 more stable after being engaged, improving assembly stability.

[0037] The outer surface of the outer ring 1 is provided with an outer groove 25. During use, the outer ring 1 can cooperate with the positioning components (such as positioning rings, retaining rings, etc.) on the bearing housing.

[0038] The outer surface of the retainer 4 is provided with a plurality of limiting holes 26, and the insertion rod 22 is slidably inserted into the inner side of the limiting hole 26. This method of insertion and assembly is simple, can help the two retainers 4 synchronize, and improve the operation stability of the two retainers 4.

[0039] During the assembly process, after the inner ring 2, the retaining frame 4 and the ball 3 are installed, the sealing ring 7 is assembled, the snap-in portion 10 of the sealing ring 7 on one side is snapped into the groove 9, and the insertion rod 22 is inserted. The insertion rod 22 will push the bevel block 19, so that the bevel block 19 moves and will not hinder the entry of the insertion rod 22. Then the insertion rod 22 passes through the limiting holes 26 on the two retaining frames 4, and then the sealing ring 7 on the other side is sleeved on the surface of the insertion rod 22. At this time, it is necessary to push the bevel block 19 on this side so as not to interfere with the passage of the insertion rod 22. After that, the locking nut 23 is screwed on. After tightening, the limit plates on both sides are 24 push the bevel block 19 respectively, so that the bevel block 19 slides along the inner side of the outer sliding mouth 18, and the sliding plate 17 slides along the inner side of the inner sliding mouth 14, squeezing the compression spring 16. At this time, the end of the limit column 12 will be inserted into the inner side of the annular groove 11, achieving the limiting effect to prevent the sealing ring 7 from detaching. After that, the above-mentioned insertion steps of the insertion rod 22 are repeated to position the insertion rods 22 at the remaining positions. Therefore, during the entire assembly process, no auxiliary tools such as cylindrical tools and lubricating oil are required for assembly, the operation is simpler, and the edge damage of the sealing ring 7 is less likely to occur.

[0040] Since two inner rings 2 are provided, the requirement of the inner ring 2 to realize bidirectional rotation simultaneously can be met, thereby effectively improving the application range of the bearing.

[0041] During use, the two retainers 4 and the seal ring 7 form a relatively integrated structure, effectively improving structural strength. Compared with traditional double-row angular contact ball bearings, this design significantly increases the bearing's axial load capacity, reduces the load borne by individual rolling elements and raceways, reduces the risk of fatigue failure, and extends the bearing's service life. At the same time, this design enhances the bearing's ability to withstand both axial and radial loads, resolving the difficulty of using traditional double-row angular contact ball bearings in complex operating conditions.
