AI Technical Summary
The existing hydrodynamic air thrust bearing requires two spot welding processes during assembly, resulting in low assembly efficiency, warping deformation, unstable dimensional tolerances, and high processing costs. Furthermore, the base plate cannot be used interchangeably for both structural types.
The base plate is integrally stamped with a raised boss and the supporting corrugated foil is snapped together, eliminating the spot welding process. The supporting corrugated foil and the top foil are pre-tightened together. The base plate is designed with cooling grooves to accommodate two structural forms, simplifying the process and reducing costs.
It improves assembly efficiency and finished product qualification rate, avoids warping and deformation, reduces processing costs, and makes the base plate universal in both structures, thereby enhancing product stability and economy.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air bearing, in particular to a bottom plate universal air dynamic pressure bearing. BACKGROUND
[0002] The air bearing is a self-acting dynamic pressure air bearing using air as a lubricating medium. Compared with the traditional high-speed bearing, the air bearing has the advantages of simple structure, high speed, low friction power consumption, high and low temperature resistance, good stability and convenient maintenance, and has broad application prospects in the field of high-speed rotating machinery. At present, the air bearing has been widely used in the field of hydrogen fuel cell centrifugal air compressor.
[0003] The dynamic pressure air thrust bearing uses the compression effect of the wedge-shaped air film between the top foil and the thrust disc to generate axial bearing force. For example, a patent application with the title of "Thrust foil dynamic pressure air bearing with thick top foil structure" with the publication number CN108286567A mainly includes a bottom plate, a gasket, a support wave foil and a top foil. First, the gasket is a separate component. The gasket is connected to the bottom plate and the top foil through spot welding. The disadvantage is that two spot welding processes are required at the gasket, which not only reduces the assembly efficiency, but also has high and complex process requirements. The positioning and welding of each gasket have strict requirements, and the processing precision is high. Any slight mistake can easily cause warping deformation, affecting the flatness of the entire bottom plate and top foil, even forming a defective product that cannot be used, wasting materials and increasing costs. A plurality of welding points are arranged on the contact surface of the top foil and the thrust disc, which reduces the flatness and smoothness of the top foil. Second, the support wave foil is connected to the bottom plate through spot welding. Multiple welding can easily cause unstable size tolerance, which greatly reduces the product qualification rate. In addition, the current air dynamic pressure bearing includes left-handed and right-handed structure forms. The main difference between the two is the installation direction of the support wave foil. However, the current bottom plate cannot be used in both structure forms, and two sets of molds need to be set up for processing, which increases the processing cost.
[0004] In summary, the above-mentioned problems in the dynamic pressure air thrust bearing have become a technical problem that needs to be solved in the industry. SUMMARY
