Description
Technical Field:
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of guiding and driving, and particularly to a rolling bearing unit and a manufacturing method thereof. The rolling bearing unit is used for guiding and driving a sliding table, and a typical representative thereof is an integrated beam-rail linear motor. Background Art:
[0002] In the processing and manufacturing industry, with the increase in labor costs and the progress of science and technology, automated processing equipment has been increasingly favored by people, and linear motor products have been widely used in the field of automation.
[0003] A linear motor is a transmission device that directly converts electrical energy into mechanical energy of linear motion by expanding a closed magnetic field into an open magnetic field without any intermediate conversion mechanism. Simply put, a linear motor is an expanded rotary servo motor. For a rotating induction motor, imagine cutting it along the radial direction and unfolding the stator and rotor circumferences into a straight line, and this will obtain the simplest iron-core linear induction motor.
[0004] As an important part of a linear motor, a Chinese patent application with the publication number CN111917272A discloses a linear motor sliding table. The sliding table mainly consists of a slide rail and a slide seat. A flat linear motor stator is integrated on the slide rail, and a flat linear motor mover is integrated on the slide seat. The slide seat reciprocates on the slide rail through the electromagnetic force between the mover and the stator. There is a slide seat body on the slide seat. The slide seat body is of an n-shaped groove structure. A slide seat body raceway is designed at a position opposite to the raceway of the slide rail body on the outer side of the slide seat body. A number of steel balls are provided between the slide seat body raceway and the slide rail body raceway. Two through holes are designed at positions opposite to the slide seat body raceway inside both sides of the slide seat body. Slide seat body threaded holes are provided at both ends of the slide seat body. The slide seat body is connected to a steel ball reversing device through the slide seat body threaded holes, and the steel balls make infinite cyclic rolling between the slide seat body raceway, the steel ball reversing device, and the through holes.
[0005] That is to say, the slide body and the two steel ball reversing devices respectively arranged on both sides of the slide body serve as a base, and the base cooperates with a plurality of steel balls to form a rolling bearing unit. Therefore, the base of the rolling bearing unit in the above linear motor slide adopts a simple three-section structure of front, middle and rear, wherein the slide body located in the middle is provided with a through hole and the slide body raceway located on the outside, and the through hole is designed in parallel with the slide body raceway, and the two steel ball reversing devices are both provided with a C-shaped or U-shaped reverse rotation hole for the steel balls to pass through, and thereby realize reverse operation (i.e., turning from the through hole to the slide body raceway). The above rolling bearing unit has a complex structure and a large number of parts, especially the front, middle and rear three sections of raceways and the bearing surface, which are objectively difficult to process and have limited precision improvement, and are not convenient to install, especially in that it is extremely troublesome to set a C-shaped or U-shaped reverse rotation hole in the steel ball reversing device, so the structure also has limited processing precision and increases the production cost of the rolling bearing unit.

[0058] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
[0059] As shown in Figure 1-7 Figure, there is a rolling bearing unit, which is used for guiding the driving of a slide table. A typical example is used to manufacture a beam-rail integrated linear motor.
[0060] The rolling bearing unit includes a base body 1 and a plurality of rolling elements 2 disposed within the base body 1 and capable of rolling along a circumferential groove cavity 100 within the base body 1. One side of the circumferential groove cavity 100 has a window 200 capable of accommodating a partial exposure of the rolling element 2. Among them, the plurality of rolling elements 2 form a rolling element chain to rotate / roll within the circumferential groove cavity 100, and a part of the rolling element 2 is exposed outside the window 200 to form a rollable contact with an object, thereby reducing friction and improving the running speed and smoothness.
[0061] The base body 1 is composed of an upper base body 11 and a lower base body 12 that are fixedly joined together up and down. That is, the base body 1 in the present invention is a two-piece structure, namely the upper base body 11 and the lower base body 12, and the upper base body 11 and the lower base body 12 are fixedly joined together up and down and locked by screws 10 to form a complete base body, which has few parts, a simple structure, convenient installation, and low cost.
[0062] Furthermore, the base body 1 is formed by the upper base body 11 and the lower base body 12 which are fixedly combined up and down. Its greater advantage is that it is convenient to design the swirl cavity 100, especially convenient to design the internal details of the swirl cavity such as the force-bearing contact section, oil groove, dirt groove, hardened force-bearing area, wear reduction and noise elimination, etc. Specifically, the surfaces of the upper base body 11 and the lower base body 12 that are butted are respectively provided with a first swirl groove body 111 and a second swirl groove body 121 with a semi-circular cross-section. After the first swirl groove body 111 and the second swirl groove body 121 are butted, the oval-shaped swirl cavity 100 is formed; and the first opening 112 on one side of the first swirl groove body 111 and the second opening 122 on one side of the second swirl groove body 121 are butted to form the window 200. Among them, the first swirl groove body 111 has a semi-circular cross-section and is oval-shaped as a whole, so that the first swirl groove body 111 can be directly arranged on the lower end surface of the upper base body 11, and its design / arrangement is very simple. Similarly, the second swirl groove body 121 has a semi-circular cross-section and is oval-shaped as a whole, so that the second swirl groove body 121 can be directly arranged on the upper end surface of the lower base body 12, and its design / arrangement is very simple. So that after the upper base body 11 and the lower base body 12 are fixedly combined in an up-and-down butting manner later, an oval-shaped swirl cavity 100 is formed, and the cross-section of the swirl cavity 100 is circular. To sum up, the structure of the base body 1 in the present invention is simple. It is only a two-piece structure, with few parts, easy to process, convenient to assemble, and low in cost. In addition, since the base body 1 is composed of the upper base body 11 and the lower base body 12 which are fixedly combined up and down, it is convenient to design the swirl cavity 100 and the window 200, which can further reduce the production cost and simplify the production process, making the present invention have extremely strong market competitiveness.
[0063] The structures, shapes and sizes of the upper base body 11 and the lower base body 12 are the same, and they are of a symmetrical structure, making the base body 1 in the present invention only one kind of part, namely the upper base body 11 or the lower base body 12. That is, the upper base body 11 and the lower base body 12 can be used interchangeably, which is convenient for replacement and use, so that the production of the present invention is more simple and the cost is lower. Only one set of molds needs to be opened to make the upper base body 11 or the lower base body 12, and it is more convenient to use, with stronger market competitiveness.
[0064] One side of the base body 1 is also provided with a first anti-slip guide portion 101 and a second anti-slip guide portion 102 protruding outward, and the first anti-slip guide portion 101 and the second anti-slip guide portion 102 are distributed on both sides of the window 200. The cross-sections of the first anti-slip guide portion 101 and the second anti-slip guide portion 102 are both semicircular, and the outer surface of the portion of the rolling body 2 after passing through the window 200 also protrudes outside the first anti-slip guide portion 101 and the second anti-slip guide portion 102. When the rolling body 2 is installed in the slide rail groove, the first anti-slip guide portion 101 and the second anti-slip guide portion 102 will not contact the inner wall of the slide rail groove. Only when the entire rolling bearing unit is subjected to excessive force, the first anti-slip guide portion 101 and the second anti-slip guide portion 102 may contact the inner wall of the slide rail groove, thereby enhancing the bearing capacity and preventing derailment.
[0065] The upper substrate 11 and the lower substrate 12 can be made of different materials, as follows:
[0066] The first type: the upper substrate 11 and the lower substrate 12 are both integrally formed of metal or metal oxide material. Preferably, the upper substrate 11 and the lower substrate 12 are both made of stainless steel.
[0067] In order to reduce the large noise generated by the rolling body 2 in the whirlpool groove cavity 100, the present invention provides a polymer functional layer 3 for silencing and noise reduction on the inner wall of the whirlpool groove cavity 100, and the rolling body 2 is in contact with the polymer functional layer 3. Since the polymer functional layer 3 is a non-rigid material and a soft layer, the rolling body 2 and the polymer functional layer 3 are in rolling contact, so that the function of silencing and noise reduction can be effectively achieved. Among them, the design of the polymer functional layer 3 does not affect the normal use of the window 200, that is, the polymer functional layer 3 will not cover or block the window 200, ensuring the normal use of the window 200.
[0068] At present, polymer composite materials include many types such as plastics, rubber, fiber, film, adhesive and coating, among which plastic, synthetic rubber and synthetic fiber are called the three major modern polymer composite materials. They are light in texture, rich in raw materials, easy to process, good in performance and widely used, so their development speed has greatly surpassed the three traditional basic materials.
[0069] The polymer functional layer 3 is a coating, i.e., a polymer composite coating, which is coated on the inner wall of the whirlpool trough cavity 100. Alternatively, the polymer functional layer 3 is a pipe, i.e., a polymer composite pipe, which is embedded and fixed on the inner wall of the whirlpool trough cavity 100. The pipe is C-shaped, and a gap is formed at the position corresponding to the window 200. Figure 13As shown, the pipe fitting includes an upper half tube body 301 and a lower half tube body 302 formed by dividing in half, and the upper half tube body 301 and the lower half tube body 302 are respectively embedded and fixed in the first gyroscopic trough body 111 and the second gyroscopic trough body 121. When the upper substrate 11 and the lower substrate 12 are fixed together in an up-down manner, the upper half tube body and the lower half tube body are docked to form a complete pipe fitting. Of course, the pipe fitting can also be an integrated structure. This embodiment is a preferred embodiment, and the scheme adopted is that the polymer functional layer 3 is a coating, which is applied to the inner wall of the gyroscopic trough cavity 100. It is simple to set up, and the structure is more stable and not easy to fall off. Among them, the thickness of the coating is 0.01-1mm.
[0070] The second type: the upper substrate 11 and the lower substrate 12 are integrally formed of a polymer composite material, so that the upper substrate 11 and the lower substrate 12 themselves have the effect of silencing and reducing noise, so that there is no need to add the above-mentioned polymer functional layer to the inner wall of the vortex groove cavity 100.
[0071] In order to ensure the strength of the gyratory groove cavity 100 at the window 200, it is avoided that the rolling body 2 is squeezed and cracked due to contact with the outside.
[0072] A hard inlaid shell 1010 is provided at the first opening 112 of the first gyratory trough 111 and at the second opening 122 of the second gyratory trough 121. Figure 14 As shown, the load surface of the hard inlaid shell 1010 is smoothly connected with the first gyroscopic groove body 111 and the second gyroscopic groove body 121, and the strength of the entire window 200 can be increased, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of extrusion and cracking caused by the contact between the rolling body 2 and the outside world, and improving the service life of the product. Wherein, the hard inlaid shell 1010 is integrally formed of metal or metal oxide material. Preferably, the hard inlaid shell 1010 is made of stainless steel. Furthermore, the hard inlaid shell 1010 is made of high-hardness stainless steel, which has greater strength and longer service life.
[0073] In order to prevent the rolling body 2 from falling out of the swirling groove cavity 100, the following design is also made: the first swirling groove body 111 is formed with a first lip body 110 at the edge of the first opening 112, and correspondingly, the second swirling groove body 121 is formed with a second lip body 120 at the edge of the second opening 122, the second lip body 120 is placed below the first lip body 110, and the first lip body 110 and the second lip body 120 cooperate to constrain the rolling body 2 to rotate in the swirling groove cavity 100. Among them, the distance between the second lip body 120 and the first lip body 110 is smaller than the diameter of the rolling body 2, so that the rolling body 2 can be effectively prevented from accidentally falling out and the rolling body 2 can be constrained to rotate in the swirling groove cavity 100.
[0074] The rolling body 2 is integrally formed of metal or metal oxide material. Preferably, the rolling body 2 is made of stainless steel, such as a steel ball or a stainless steel cylinder.
[0075] There is a spacer 4 between the rolling elements 2, which separates the rolling elements 2 to avoid direct contact between the rolling elements 2, thereby reducing the collision friction between the rolling elements, reducing wear, maintaining accuracy and reducing noise. The spacer 4 is a flexible noise reduction segmentation chain structure, i.e., a retainer, combined with Figure 12 As shown, the isolating member 4 has a plurality of connected frames, each of which has a spherical cavity, and the spherical rolling body 2 is placed in the spherical cavity and can move in the spherical cavity, and the rolling body 2 partially protrudes out of the frame. Figure 11 As shown, the rolling body 2 is a cylindrical body, which is rotatably installed inside the flexible noise reduction segmentation chain structure through a rotating shaft. The cylindrical rolling body partially protrudes outside the flexible noise reduction segmentation chain structure to contact the inner wall of the spiral groove cavity 100.

One side of the swirling groove cavity 100 has a window 200 that can accommodate a partial exposure of the rolling element 2. The base body 1 is composed of an upper base body 11, a middle base body 13, and a lower base body 12 that are sequentially butted and fixed together from top to bottom.

It has few parts, is easy to process, convenient to assemble, low in cost, and has two layers of rolling elements, thereby forming a stable rolling support to ensure more stable operation. Additionally, since it is composed of the upper base body 11, the middle base body 13, and the lower base body 12 that are sequentially butted and fixed together from top to bottom, it is convenient to design the swirling groove cavity 100 and the window 200, which can further reduce the manufacturing cost and simplify the manufacturing process, making the present invention highly competitive in the market.
[0100] The rolling bearing unit of the present invention may also be the following third structure.
[0101] In combination with Figure 18-24As shown, the rolling bearing unit includes a base body 1 and a plurality of rolling elements 2 disposed within the base body 1 and capable of rolling along a swirling groove cavity 100 within the base body 1. The base body 1 is composed of a left base body 14 and a right base body 15 that are fixed together by left-right mating. A ring-shaped and L-shaped swirling groove cavity 100 is formed between the left base body 14 and the right base body 15. At the lower end of the mating surface of the left base body 14 and the right base body 15, a convex seat 142 that protrudes outward and is trapezoidal is formed. The right base body 15 is provided with a fifth opening 152 that penetrates the front and rear end faces. The convex seat 142 is embedded in the fifth opening 152 and exposed on the front end face of the right base body 15. The swirling groove cavity 100 also communicates with the front end face of the convex seat 142, so that a number of rolling elements 2 are exposed on the front end face of the convex seat 142, and all the rolling elements 2 form a non-coplanar rolling chain.
[0102] The structure of the above base body 1 is simple, being a two-piece left-right stacking / mating structure. It has few parts, is easy to process, convenient to assemble, low in cost, and has two layers of rolling elements, thus forming a stable rolling support to ensure more stable operation. In addition, since it is composed of a left base body 14 and a right base body 15 that are sequentially fixed together by left-right mating, it is convenient to design the swirling groove cavity 100, which can further reduce the manufacturing cost and simplify the manufacturing process, making the present invention highly competitive in the market. In addition, since the convex seat 142 of the left base body 14 is embedded in the fifth opening 152 of the right base body 15 and exposed on the front end face of the right base body 15, the swirling groove cavity 100 is ring-shaped and L-shaped, that is, a non-coplanar ring structure, and thereby all the rolling elements 2 installed in the swirling groove cavity 100 form a non-coplanar rolling chain, and a number of rolling elements 2 are exposed on the front end face of the convex seat 142, that is, exposed on the front end face of the right base body 15. Combining Figure 24 As shown, the rolling bearing unit 1000 of this structure can be installed on both sides of the sliding table 51. Later, the two rolling bearing units 1000 are respectively placed outside both sides of the rail beam 52. The rolling elements 2 exposed on the front end face of the right base body 15 of the rolling bearing unit 1000 are partially embedded in the rail grooves 521 on both sides of the rail beam 52 to complete the assembly. And the width of this assembly structure becomes smaller, and the assembly structure is stable and has great strength, with stronger load-bearing capacity, and can be applied to optimize linear motor application scenarios, such as reducing the height of the entire linear motor. On both sides of the front end face of the right base body 15, guiding convex portions 153 corresponding to the first horizontal grooves 1414 are formed. The guiding convex portions 153 and the rolling elements 2 exposed on the front end face of the convex seat 142 are on the same straight line. The guiding convex portions 153 generally do not contact the inner wall of the rail groove 521. Only when the entire rolling bearing unit is subjected to excessive force, the guiding convex portions 153 may contact the inner wall of the slide rail groove, thereby enhancing the load-bearing capacity and preventing derailment.
[0103] The specific structure is as follows: the butting surfaces of the left base 14 and the right base 15 are respectively provided with a third gyroscopic groove body 141 and a fourth gyroscopic groove body 151 with semicircular cross-sections. The third gyroscopic groove body 141 and the fourth gyroscopic groove body 151 are both open structures, which are easy to open / manufacture.
[0104] The third gyroscopic groove body 141 includes a first C-shaped groove 1411 formed on the surface where the left base 14 and the right base 15 are connected, a first inclined groove 1412 and a second inclined groove 1413 connected to both ends of the first C-shaped groove 1411 and respectively on the two sides of the convex seat 142, and a first horizontal groove 1414 connected between the first inclined groove 1412 and the second inclined groove 1413 and distributed on the front end surface of the convex seat 142; the fourth gyroscopic groove body 151 includes a second C-shaped groove 1511 formed on the surface where the right base 15 and the left base 14 are connected, The third inclined groove 1512 and the fourth inclined groove 1513 are at both ends of the second C-shaped groove 1511 and connected to the fifth opening 152; the first C-shaped groove 1411, the first inclined groove 1412 and the second inclined groove 1413 are respectively connected to the second C-shaped groove 1511, the third inclined groove 1512 and the fourth inclined groove 1513, and the third inclined groove 1512 and the fourth inclined groove 1513 are respectively connected to both ends of the first horizontal groove 1414, and the boss 142 is exposed in the fifth opening 152, so as to form an L-shaped annular spiral groove cavity 100.
[0105] The upper and lower edges of the first horizontal groove 1414 are both formed with a third lip 1415 , and the third lip 1520 can wrap the rolling body 2 to prevent the rolling body 2 from escaping from the first horizontal groove 1414 , that is, to prevent the rolling body 2 from escaping from the base 1 .
[0106] Of course, the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made according to the structure, characteristics and principles described in the patent application scope of the present invention should be included in the patent application scope of the present invention.
