Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bearing assembly, and in particular relates to a single-slit radial spherical bearing expansion device. Background Art
[0002] The single-slit radial spherical plain bearing is mainly composed of the inner ring and the outer ring of the bearing. Through the sliding contact between the outer spherical surface of the inner ring and the inner spherical surface of the outer ring, it has a high dynamic and static load. When assembling the two, the outer ring is opened manually or by a hydraulic press through a manual rotating pressing device, and a piece of paper of suitable thickness is stuffed into the gap of the outer ring. Then the inner ring is manually placed into the outer ring, and then the paper is taken out to complete the assembly of the inner and outer rings. The characteristics of this assembly method are: large human factors, low efficiency, and it is difficult to find the gap accurately. For thin-walled radial spherical plain bearings, the scrap rate of the outer ring is very high, the outer ring is prone to cracking during the opening process, causing danger, and the size of the gap is difficult to control.

[0019] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, a single-slit radial spherical bearing expansion device includes a power device 1, a stand 2, a fixing plate 3, a ball head push rod 4 and a fixing seat 5. The top of the stand 2 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 3, and the upper part of the fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 5; Figure 2As shown, the fixing seat 5 is provided with holes A and B from top to bottom, hole A is used to position the inner ring 7 of the radial spherical plain bearing, hole B is used to position the outer ring 6 of the radial spherical plain bearing, and the width of hole A is smaller than the width of hole B, and the height of hole B is greater than the height of the outer ring 6 of the radial spherical plain bearing; the fixing seat 5 below hole B is set to be hollow for placing the ball head push rod 4, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, a spherical guide is provided at the top of the ball head push rod 4, and the spherical guide of the ball head push rod 4 extends into the hole B, and the diameter of the spherical guide is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the outer ring 6 of the radial spherical bearing, and a groove is provided at the top of the spherical guide, and the size of the groove is slightly larger than the end size of the inner ring 7 of the radial spherical bearing; after the bottom end of the ball head push rod 4 passes through the fixed plate 3, it is fixedly connected to the power device 1, and the power device 1 is fixed under the fixed plate 3; specifically, in this embodiment, the power device 1 can be a cylinder or an oil cylinder, and the output rod of the cylinder or the oil cylinder is connected to the bottom end of the ball head push rod 4 through a thread.
[0021] The single-slit radial spherical bearing expansion device of the present invention is simple to operate and use, has precise product processing, and a safe and stable working process. The specific process is as follows;
[0022] The radial spherical bearing outer ring 6 is placed into the hole B from one side of the fixing seat 5. After it contacts with the ball head push rod 4, the spherical guide of the ball head push rod 4 automatically clamps the radial spherical bearing outer ring 6 to fix the position of the radial spherical bearing outer ring 6; start the power device 1, and the power device 1 pushes the ball head push rod 4 upward. When the radial spherical bearing outer ring 6 contacts with the bottom end of the hole A of the fixing seat 5, the position of the radial spherical bearing outer ring 6 is locked. The ball head push rod 4 continues to slowly advance into the inner part of the radial spherical bearing outer ring 6 under the push of the power device 1, thereby enlarging the gap of the outer ring. Since the ball head push rod 4 is pushed in by the ball head, the radial spherical bearing outer ring 6 will not be subjected to uneven force and cause collapse; when the gap of the radial spherical bearing outer ring 6 is expanded, the radial spherical bearing inner ring 7 is placed into the radial spherical bearing outer ring 6 from the hole A of the fixing seat 5. Since the spherical guide is provided with a groove, the radial spherical bearing inner ring 7 is restricted from continuing to move downward, but just assembled with the radial spherical bearing outer ring 6. After the inner ring is placed, control the power device 1 to return to its original position, and the assembled product ( Figure 4 ) is taken out from the side of the fixing seat 5. In order to ensure safety, the fixing seat 5 is closed except for the notch for putting in and taking out the product, thereby ensuring safety during the working process.
[0023] The embodiments are preferred implementations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned implementations. Any obvious improvements, substitutions or modifications that can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essential content of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
