[0024] In order to make the structure and function of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] See attached Figure 1-4 As shown, a cylindrical roller bearing cage includes an oil groove structure, an oil line structure, a cage seat 5 and a cage cover; a plurality of oil groove structures are arranged on the end cover of the cage cover; the cage seat 5 and the cage cover are assembled to form a plurality of pockets; the oil groove structure is located on both sides of the end faces of the pockets; the two circumferential side walls of the pockets are cylindrical surfaces; an oil line structure is arranged on the cage beam of the cage seat 5.

[0026] Furthermore, the oil groove structure is arranged on the outer peripheral surfaces of the cage seat 5 and the cage cover 4 .

[0027] Furthermore, another oil groove structure is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the cage seat 5 and the cage cover 4 .

[0028] Furthermore, the oil groove structure includes an axial oil groove 1 6 and an axial oil groove 2 7; the axial oil groove 1 6 and the axial oil groove 2 7 are the same; the axial oil groove 1 6 is arranged on the end cover of the retaining frame seat 5; the axial oil groove 2 7 is arranged on the end cover of the retaining frame cover 4; the axial oil groove 1 6 and the axial oil groove 2 7 are arranged on the same horizontal line.

[0029] It should be noted that the axial oil groove 1 6 and the axial oil groove 2 7 are arranged on the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the retaining frame, so that the lubricating oil flows into the pocket from the axial direction of the rolling element 3, lubricates the axial direction of the rolling element 3, enhances the lubricity of the axial direction of the rolling element 3 and the retaining frame, and finally improves the operating speed of the cylindrical roller bearing.

[0030] Furthermore, the oil line structure is arranged on the outer diameter surface of the retaining frame beam.

[0031] Furthermore, another oil line structure is arranged on the inner diameter surface of the retaining frame beam.

[0032] Furthermore, the oil line structure includes one radial oil line groove 8 or two radial oil line grooves 8 .

[0033] It should be noted that the radial oil line grooves 8 are arranged on the inner and outer diameter surfaces of the cage beam, so that the lubricating oil flows into the pockets from the radial direction of the rolling element 3, lubricates the rolling element 3 in the radial direction, enhances the radial lubricity of the rolling element 3 and the cage, and ultimately improves the operating speed of the cylindrical roller bearing.

[0034] Furthermore, it also includes a weight-reducing groove 9; the weight-reducing groove 9 is arranged on the retaining frame beam; the oil line structure is a radial oil line groove 8; a weight-reducing groove 9 is arranged between the radial oil line groove 8 and the end cover of the retaining frame seat 5; a weight-reducing groove 9 is arranged between the radial oil line groove 8 and the end cover of the retaining frame cover 4.

[0035] Furthermore, it also includes a weight-reducing groove 9; the weight-reducing groove 9 is arranged on the retaining frame beam; the oil line structure is two radial oil line grooves 8; a weight-reducing groove 9 is arranged between the two radial oil line grooves 8; a weight-reducing groove 9 is arranged between one radial oil line groove 8 and the end cover of the retaining frame seat 5; a weight-reducing groove 9 is arranged between the other radial oil line groove 8 and the end cover of the retaining frame cover 4.

[0036] It should be noted that the setting of the weight-reducing groove reduces the weight of the cage while ensuring its mechanical strength, and improves the heat dissipation capacity of the cage, thus saving processing raw materials.

[0037] A cylindrical roller bearing comprises a bearing outer ring 1, a bearing inner ring 2, rolling elements 3 and a cylindrical roller bearing retainer; the bearing inner ring 2 is arranged in the bearing outer ring 1; the cylindrical roller bearing retainer is arranged between the bearing inner ring 2 and the bearing outer ring 1; a plurality of rolling elements 3 are evenly assembled in the pockets of the cylindrical roller bearing retainer; the outer circle of one side of the rolling element 3 is assembled in the raceway of the bearing outer ring 1; the other side of the rolling element 3 is assembled in the raceway of the bearing inner ring 2; a guiding gap is arranged between the cylindrical roller bearing retainer and the rib of the bearing outer ring 1.

[0038] It should be noted that the axial oil grooves (axial oil groove 1 6 and axial oil groove 2 7) and the radial oil line grooves 8 allow the lubricating oil to circulate between each other, thereby reducing the friction between the outer diameter of the cage and the outer ring rib and enhancing the lubrication effect.

[0039] Since the cylindrical roller bearing adopts a machined copper cage, the axial oil grooves (axial oil groove 1 6 and axial oil groove 2 7) can only be set on both sides of the pocket end face. If they are set on both sides of the upper end face of the cage beam, the material strength here will be weakened, affecting the service life of the cylindrical roller bearing.

[0040] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are illustrative and cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention. Ordinary technicians in the field can change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention.
