Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an oil supply ring, and particularly to an under-ring oil supply ring for a high-speed rolling bearing. It belongs to the field of rolling bearing lubrication. Background Art

[0002] High-speed and high-precision rolling bearings are one of the key components in the field of high-speed transmission. The linear velocity of the inner ring of this rolling bearing is generally above 100 m / s, and it is widely used in many transmission fields such as transmission, aviation, navigation, metallurgy, fluid transportation, and oil production.

[0003] Due to the relatively large linear velocity between the inner ring and the rolling elements during the operation of high-speed and high-precision rolling bearings, a large amount of heat is generated. Although the ring-side oil injection structure can supply sufficient lubricating oil to the bearing, since the oil supply position does not directly act on the position between the bearing rolling elements and the bearing inner ring, it will cause insufficient oil supply efficiency, resulting in too high a temperature rise of the rolling bearing, seriously affecting the bearing life and the smooth operation of the rotor.

[0004] In summary, the existing ring-side oil injection structure has the problem of insufficient oil supply efficiency, which causes too high a temperature rise of the rolling bearing, resulting in affecting the bearing life and the smooth operation of the rotor. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the existing ring-side oil injection structure has insufficient oil supply efficiency, which causes too high a temperature rise of the rolling bearing, resulting in affecting the bearing life and the smooth operation of the rotor. Furthermore, an under-ring oil supply ring for a high-speed rolling bearing is provided.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is: An under-ring oil supply ring for a high-speed rolling bearing includes an oil slinger body 1. On the outer circumferential surface of the oil slinger body 1, a plurality of axial oil supply grooves 5 are machined along its axial direction. On each axial oil supply groove 5, a radial oil inlet hole 2 is opened towards the axial direction of the oil slinger body 1 to achieve sufficient oil supply to n high-speed rolling bearings 9; on the outer circumferential radial direction of the oil slinger body 1, a plurality of circular oil guiding grooves 4 are opened to achieve uniform oil supply to n high-speed rolling bearings 9, where n ≤ 3.

[0007] Further, the axial oil supply groove 5 is a long strip-shaped oil supply groove.

[0008] Further, the number of the axial oil supply grooves 5 is 6 - 10.

[0009] Further, the number of the axial oil supply grooves 5 is 8.

[0010] Further, n = 1 or 2.

[0011] Further, an external thread 15 is machined on one side of the oil slinger body 1, and an oil collecting ring 3 is machined on the other side of the oil slinger body 1.

[0012] Further, the outer diameter of the oil slinger ring body 1 is smaller than that of the oil collecting ring 3.

[0013] Further, a bevel surface 16 is machined at the connection between the oil collecting ring 3 and the radial oil inlet hole 2, and the angle between the bevel surface 16 and the axis of the oil slinger ring body 1 is 45° - 60°.

[0014] Further, the angle between the bevel surface 16 and the axis of the oil slinger ring body 1 is 45°.

[0015] Further, the number of the oil guiding grooves 4 is three.

[0016] The present invention has the following effects compared with the prior art:

[0017] According to the relevant requirements of the oil supply flow rate under the bearing ring, the present invention sets an oil collecting ring structure at the oil injection position of the nozzle under the ring to ensure that sufficient lubricating oil enters the bearing. Under the action of the centrifugal force of the rotor, the lubricating oil enters the oil guiding grooves and the axial oil supply grooves along the circumferential direction of the inner sleeve of the bearing installation through a number of radial oil inlet holes, and then enters the oil injection holes under the bearing ring to achieve the purpose of oil supply under the bearing ring.

[0018] In addition, through the setting of the oil guiding grooves, the present invention can ensure accurate alignment with the oil inlet of the high-speed rolling bearing, ensure uniform oil supply to the high-speed rolling bearing, and at the same time, the axial oil supply groove realizes sufficient oil supply to the high-speed rolling bearing, thereby increasing the oil supply efficiency of the lubricating oil. After ensuring uniform oil supply and sufficient oil supply, the overheating of the rolling bearing is avoided, and the bearing life and the running stability of the rotor are improved.
