[0023] 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 described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0024] See attached Figure 1-6 , an I-type thrust cylindrical roller 6 bearing isolation block, comprising a pillar 1, a first crossbeam 4 and a second crossbeam 5; the pillar 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped, comprising a set of opposite end faces, a set of opposite large side faces 2 and a set of opposite small side faces 3; the set of opposite large side faces 2 is provided with an arc-shaped groove matching the cylindrical roller 6; one end of the pillar 1 is vertically connected to the first crossbeam 4, both ends of the first crossbeam 4 protrude from the pillar 1, the two ends of the first crossbeam 4 are flat, the surface connecting the first crossbeam 4 and the pillar 1 is flat, and the side of the first crossbeam 4 is flat to the pillar 1 The small side surface 3 of the pillar 1 is flat; the other end of the pillar 1 is vertically connected to the second crossbeam 5, both ends of the second crossbeam 5 protrude from the pillar 1, both ends of the second crossbeam 5 are flat, the surface where the second crossbeam 5 is connected to the pillar 1 is flat, and the side surface of the second crossbeam 5 is flat with the small side surface 3 of the pillar 1; the pillar 1, the first crossbeam 4 and the second crossbeam 5 constitute an I-shaped structure; the I-shaped isolation block has a smooth surface, no burrs, uniform color, no pores inside, and no looseness; the external dimensions of a single I-shaped isolation block are small, which reduces the processing difficulty and processing equipment requirements.
[0025] The arc-shaped groove between two adjacent isolation blocks forms a pocket for accommodating the cylindrical roller 6. The diameter of the contact point between the arc-shaped groove and the circumferential surface of the cylindrical roller 6 is larger than the diameter of the cylindrical roller 6. The I-type thrust cylindrical roller 6 bearing isolation block is in line contact with the cylindrical roller 6; the two adjacent isolation blocks are combined into a pocket, and the cylindrical roller 6 moves up and down in the pocket, and during the movement, it makes two line contacts with the pillar 1, with the contact point 7; the I-type isolation block plays the role of guiding and fixing the roller movement; the gap between two adjacent I-type isolation blocks can also accommodate more grease.
[0026] There are several I-shaped thrust cylindrical roller 6 bearing isolation blocks, and the several I-shaped thrust cylindrical roller 6 bearing isolation blocks form a complete retaining frame. Several first beams 4 form a complete outer beam, and there is a gap between two adjacent first beams 4. The total value of all gaps is less than the diameter of a cylindrical roller 6; several second beams 5 form a complete inner beam, and there is a gap between two adjacent second beams 5. The total value of all gaps is less than the diameter of a cylindrical roller 6; the maximum value of the total gap of the isolation block is less than the diameter of a single cylindrical roller 6 to prevent the roller from falling out; an I-shaped isolation block is installed between every two rolling bodies, rather than an integral retaining frame, to avoid excessive deformation of the retaining frame and cause breakage when the bearing load is too large.
[0027] The first crossbeam 4 is provided with a chamfer, and the second crossbeam 5 is provided with a chamfer; the chamfers help to improve the efficiency of grease entering the cage and more fully lubricate the rollers.
[0028] The material of the I-type thrust cylindrical roller 6 bearing isolation block is polyoxymethylene resin; it has a long service life and is fatigue-resistant.
[0029] The number of the cylindrical rollers 6 is the same as the number of the isolation blocks, and the cylindrical rollers 6 and the isolation blocks are arranged at intervals.
[0030] The assembly method of the I-type thrust cylindrical roller bearing isolation block is as follows:
[0031] Step 1: Place the inner ring flat on the ground with the end face of the inner ring touching the ground;
[0032] Step 2: Place the cylindrical roller 6 and the I-type thrust cylindrical roller 6 bearing isolation blocks one by one on the inner ring raceway;
[0033] Step 3: The last two cylindrical rollers 6 and the I-type thrust cylindrical roller 6 bearing isolation block are installed on the inner ring raceway at the same time;
[0034] Step 4: Put the outer ring on the outside of the cylindrical roller 6 and the I-type thrust cylindrical roller 6 bearing isolation block.
[0035] The basic dimensions of the spacer block are determined based on the roller diameter, length, and other dimensions, as well as the thrust raceway dimensions of the three-row cylindrical roller bearing. The thickness of the spacer block's working area is determined by determining the spacing between the large and small ends of the rolling elements in a uniformly distributed state, based on the location and number of the bearing's rolling elements.
[0036] When it is necessary to assemble a cylindrical roller with a diameter of 55mm and a length of 55mm, the diameter of the isolation block's support at the contact point with the cylindrical roller is 55.4mm, the width of the large side of the support is 40mm (error 0.15mm), and the support height is 56.66mm; the length of the first beam is 64.0964mm, and the total gap value between several first beams is less than 55mm; the length of the second beam is 60.9299mm, and the total gap value between several second beams is less than 55mm.
[0037] This application can improve material utilization, reduce processing difficulty, improve processing efficiency, and reduce batch production costs. At the same time, it can reduce rolling element wear, reduce the risk of bearing failure, and increase bearing service life.
[0038] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present application. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present application are still within the scope covered by the present application.
