[0002] The bearing used in a motor is a part that supports the shaft. It can guide the rotation of the shaft and can also bear the components idling on the shaft. A motor bearing, also known as an electric motor bearing or a motor bearing, is a special bearing specifically applied to an electric motor or a motor. The motor bearing uses smooth metal balls or rollers and lubricated inner and outer ring metal surfaces to reduce friction. These balls or rollers "carry" the load and support the motor spindle, enabling the motor (rotor) to rotate smoothly.

[0003] However, currently, the bearings of motors have relatively high requirements for the adhesion, working life, and working temperature of grease or lubricating oil. Otherwise, faults such as bearing wear and shaft jamming will occur. And the prices of such grease or lubricating oil are usually relatively high. Summary of the Invention

[0062] The end face of the thrust disk 210 is coated with a polytetrafluoroethylene anti-wear coating.

[0063] See Figure 1 , the present invention also provides a motor, and a motor assembly 400 is disposed in the middle, or on the left or right side of a pair of the parallel bearings; the motor assembly 400 includes a stator magnetic pole and a coil 401 sleeved on the rotating shaft 100, and a magnetic core 101 is disposed on the shaft section of the rotating shaft 100 located inside the stator magnetic pole and the coil 401.

[0067] In specific applications, a pair of parallel bearings are disposed on the rotating shaft 100. See Figure 14 , when the rotating shaft 100 rotates, it drives the inner ring of the rotating shaft bearing 1 to rotate, and the outer ring of the rotating shaft bearing 1 or the outer ring of the outermost intermediate bearing 6 in the middle rotates under the action of an air bearing or an oil film floating ring bearing. Moreover, the rotational speeds of multiple parallel bearings on the same rotating shaft will be adaptively adjusted according to the force to achieve the effect of synchronous rotation.

[0068] First embodiment of the parallel bearing

[0069] The rotating shaft bearing 1 is a ball bearing, and the stator bearing 2 is an air bearing.

[0070] See Figure 10 , in this embodiment, the parallel bearing includes a rotating shaft bearing 1 and a stator bearing 2. The rotating shaft bearing 1 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 100, and the stator bearing 2 is sleeved outside the rotating shaft bearing 1 and maintains a certain gap with the outer wall of the rotating shaft bearing 1.

[0071] The air bearing is in a ring-shaped cylindrical shape, and at least one annular groove is provided on its outer wall parallel to the end face. A damper is nested in the annular groove. The damper is an annular rubber ring 21, and the top of the rubber ring 21 protrudes from the outer wall of the air bearing.

[0072] See Figure 15 、 16, 17, 18, a plurality of bumps 22 are arranged around the annular end face of the air bearing along the axial direction and evenly distributed. An anti-rotation end cover 5 is arranged at one end of the air bearing where the bumps 22 are provided. Anti-rotation holes 51 corresponding to the bumps 22 are arranged on the anti-rotation end cover 5. The bumps 22 are embedded in the anti-rotation holes 51, and the anti-rotation end cover 5 is fixed to the end face of the stator 4 by screws.

[0073] Further, a cross-shaped hole is arranged on the anti-rotation end cover 5, including four anti-rotation holes 51 that are perpendicularly and mutually connected. The bumps 22 are correspondingly arranged as four, and each bump 22 is respectively embedded in each anti-rotation hole 51. Screw holes 52 are arranged between adjacent two anti-rotation holes 51. Screw hole one 41 is arranged on the end face of the stator 4. After the screw holes 52 and the screw hole one 41 are aligned, they are fastened with screws.

[0074] Parallel bearing Embodiment Two

[0075] See Figure 11 , the parallel bearing further includes at least one intermediate bearing 6. The intermediate bearing 6 is a contact bearing. The intermediate bearing 6 is sleeved between the shaft bearing 1 and the stator bearing 2, and a gap is left between the stator bearing 2 and the intermediate bearing 6.

[0076] The intermediate bearing 6 is a ball bearing.

[0077] Specifically, the parallel bearing includes a shaft bearing 1, a stator bearing 2, and an intermediate bearing 6.

[0078] This embodiment is based on Embodiment One. An intermediate bearing 6 (or multiple intermediate bearings 6 are sleeved in sequence and each intermediate bearing 6 is coaxial) is sleeved on the shaft bearing 1. The stator bearing 2 is sleeved outside the outermost intermediate bearing 6 and a certain gap is maintained with the outer wall of the outermost intermediate bearing 6.

[0079] Parallel bearing Embodiment Three

[0080] Further, the ball bearing, roller bearing, ceramic bearing or polytetrafluoroethylene bearing is single-layer, double-layer or multi-layer. The ball bearing or roller bearing of the shaft bearing 1 in Embodiment One and Embodiment Two of the present invention can be an integral multi-layer bearing, and the ball layer or roller layer is arranged in multiple layers. See Figure 12 . The multi-layer ball bearing or roller bearing includes an inner ring, an intermediate ring and an outer ring that are nested with each other. Between the inner ring and the intermediate ring, and between the intermediate ring and the outer ring, balls or rollers are respectively embedded.

[0081] Parallel bearing Embodiment Four

[0082] When the rotating shaft bearing 1 of the present invention is a angular contact ball bearing, since the inner ring of the bearing is fixed on the rotating shaft 100, relative displacement will occur between the outer ring, the cage and the balls. Generally speaking, it means that the balls inside the bearing are too loose and appropriate treatment measures need to be taken.

[0083] See Figure 13 , the rotating shaft bearing 1 is a pair of angular contact ball bearings arranged oppositely, and a preloading spring is arranged between the outer rings of the two angular contact ball bearings; both ends of the preloading spring are respectively fixed at the ends of the outer rings of the two angular contact ball bearings.

[0084] By adjusting the preloading force of the spring, the balls and the cage can be made to approach or separate from each other, that is, the internal friction of the bearing can be increased or decreased, so as to achieve the purpose of the friction force applicable to the required working conditions.

[0085] Further, the surface of the shaft section of the rotating shaft 100 sleeved inside the rotating shaft bearing is coated with a polytetrafluoroethylene anti-wear coating.

[0086] Further, the stator bearing 2 is fixed to the stator 4 by one of key connection, pin connection, dowel pin connection, and bolt connection.

[0087] Further, the rotating shaft bearing 1 is a ball bearing, a roller bearing, a ceramic bearing or a polytetrafluoroethylene bearing.

[0088] Further, the stator bearing 2 is an air bearing, an oil film floating ring bearing or a tilting pad bearing.

[0089] Further, the ball bearing, roller bearing, ceramic bearing or polytetrafluoroethylene bearing can be single-row, double-row or multi-row.

[0090] Although the specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is not a limitation to the protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that based on the technical solutions of the present invention, various modifications or deformations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative labor are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
