Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of centrifuge maintenance, and in particular to an adjustable dummy shaft for bearing bush measurement and a measuring method. Background Art

[0002] Measuring the clearance of bearings is a key step in the maintenance process of centrifuges. With the development of technology, the bearings used in new units are mostly tilting bearings. Currently, the most commonly used measurement method is the false shaft method, but the current measurement method is not very accurate.

[0003] Problems:

[0004] 1. The dummy shaft method requires re-processing of the dummy shaft. Currently, there are many centrifugal units with many shaft diameter specifications, and many dummy shaft specifications need to be prepared;

[0005] 2. The processing cost of the fake shaft is relatively high, and the subsequent storage and maintenance are more troublesome.

[0006] 3. The use of stepped shaft dummy shaft also has problems such as complex processing technology, low measurement accuracy and small measurement range. If the accuracy needs to be improved, the number of steps in an interval will be large and the length of the dummy shaft to be processed will be very long. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the above-mentioned background technology and to provide an adjustable dummy shaft and a measuring method for bearing measurement, which have the characteristics of simple process, few specifications, low cost and simple subsequent maintenance.

[0009] In the above technical solution, the angle α between the outer wall of the male shaft and the axis is ≤1°.

[0010] In the above technical solution, a polygonal handle is provided at the end of the male shaft with a larger axial cross-section.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the shaft sleeve is composed of four shaft blocks of the same size and shape.

[0012] The present invention also provides a measurement method for bearing shells, which has the following steps: step 1, surround the male shaft with multiple shaft blocks to form a coaxially arranged male shaft and shaft sleeve, and thread the adjusting nut with the screw; step 2, insert the false shaft formed by the shaft blocks, male shaft, screw and adjusting nut into the bearing shell ring formed by the bearing shell; step 3, rotate the adjusting nut toward one side of the male shaft to cause relative displacement between the shaft block and the male shaft, and the outer diameter of the shaft sleeve continues to increase until the outer wall of the shaft sleeve abuts against the inner wall of the bearing shell ring. The inner diameter of the bearing shell ring can be obtained by measuring the outer diameter of the shaft sleeve at this time.

[0013] In the above technical solution, before step one, the inner diameters A of multiple bearing rings within a certain range are used as a measurement interval to produce a dummy shaft that meets the specifications.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the difference between the maximum inner diameter and the minimum inner diameter of the bearing ring in the measurement interval is 5 mm.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the angle α between the outer wall of the male shaft and the axis is ≤1°.

[0016] In the above technical solution, a polygonal handle is provided at the end of the male shaft with a larger axial cross-section.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the shaft sleeve is composed of four shaft blocks of the same size and shape.

[0018] The present invention provides an adjustable dummy shaft and measurement method for bearing measurement, which has the following beneficial effects: since the mating surfaces of the male shaft and the shaft block are conical surfaces, the shaft block can slide relative to the male shaft under the push of the adjusting nut and the screw, and the outer diameter of the sleeve can be increased or decreased during the sliding, thereby achieving the purpose of outer diameter adjustment, thereby realizing the adjustable performance of the shaft diameter and accurately measuring the bearing clearance.
