Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical seals, and particularly to a sealed bearing housing for a spray working condition. Background Art
[0002] A bearing housing is a box part that plays a role in supporting and lubricating bearings. At the same time, it bears the axial and radial forces generated during the operation of the equipment. In equipment with a rotating shaft or roller, the rotating shaft and roller are generally supported by bearings and rotated, and the bearings are installed in the bearing housing, and the bearing housing is filled with lubricating oil. During the working process, the lubricating oil lubricates the bearings and internal gears, so it is necessary to fully ensure the sealing performance of the bearing housing.
[0003] The bearing housing is usually sealed in the following two ways: oil seal and labyrinth seal. However, for bearing housings, gearboxes or speed reducers located within the spraying range of cooling media (such as emulsion, rolling oil, water, etc.) in rolling mills, cleaning devices, etc., the above two sealing methods are not ideal. Due to the strong corrosiveness of the cooling medium, the oil seal is prone to aging and has a short service life. The labyrinth seal has high requirements for the accuracy of machining and assembly, while the on-site working environment is usually relatively harsh, with severe vibration, which is likely to cause wear of the labyrinth seal, thereby reducing the sealing effect of the labyrinth seal. Neither the oil seal nor the labyrinth seal can fully seal and protect the bearing housing, and the cooling medium is likely to enter the bearing housing, resulting in a decline in the performance of the lubricating oil, leading to lack of lubrication or poor lubrication of the gears and bearings, thereby reducing the service life of the gears and bearings. During the subsequent use process, it is necessary to frequently replace parts, which severely restricts the operating efficiency of the equipment.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a bearing housing with good sealing performance, long service life, and little influence from environmental factors. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a sealed bearing housing for a spray working condition, aiming to solve the problems that the existing bearing housing is prone to seal failure, the external cooling medium is likely to enter the bearing housing, causing a decline in the performance of the lubricating oil, and resulting in the failure of the bearings and gears due to poor lubrication.
[0006] The present invention solves the above technical problems through the following technical means:
[0007] A sealed bearing housing for a spraying operation, comprising a housing body, a bearing and a roller installed on one side of the housing body. The roller is rotatably connected to the bearing. A gear is provided at one end of the roller extending into the housing body through the bearing. A gland is arranged on the upper side of the housing body. The gland is detachably connected to the housing body. The lower side of the gland cooperates with the housing body and the bearing. A sealing rubber ring is provided between the gland and the housing body. An upper sealing groove is formed on the side of the gland facing the roller, and a lower sealing groove corresponding to the upper sealing groove is formed on the side of the housing body facing the roller. The same sealing ring is arranged in the upper sealing groove and the lower sealing groove. Threaded holes are formed on the circumferential side of the sealing ring. The sealing ring is fixedly connected to the roller by screws. An annular intercepting plate is arranged on the circumferential side of the end of the sealing ring away from the roller. An inwardly inclined intercepting protrusion is arranged on the side of the outer edge of the annular intercepting plate facing the roller.
[0008] Further, the sealing ring is composed of two semi-circular sealing sub-rings, and the two sealing sub-rings can enclose a complete sealing ring. The threaded holes are formed in the middle of the sealing sub-rings.
[0009] Such a structural design facilitates the installation, replacement and maintenance of the sealing ring, and can avoid the need to pull out the bearing for installation when replacing the skeleton oil seal, making the operation more convenient.
[0010] Further, the sealing ring is in interference fit with the roller.
[0011] Such a structural design can prevent external cooling medium from flowing into the gap between the inner hole of the sealing ring and the roller.
[0012] Further, the sealing ring is made of metal material.
[0013] Such a structural design can effectively prevent the emulsion from corroding the sealing ring, thereby improving the service life of the sealing ring and the sealed bearing housing.
[0014] Further, a baffle is provided at one end of the upper side of the gland close to the roller.
[0015] Such a structural design can block part of the cooling medium through the baffle, thereby reducing the contact between the cooling medium and the sealing ring and the upper and lower sealing grooves.
[0016] Further, the upper sealing groove is provided with a small inwardly inclined chamfer; the lower sealing groove is provided with a large outwardly inclined chamfer, and the angle of the large outwardly inclined chamfer is 45°.
[0017] Such a structural design has better sealing effect and lower requirement for installation accuracy; the external cooling medium is not easy to enter the upper and lower sealing grooves, and the cooling medium entering the upper and lower sealing grooves is not easy to stay and will be quickly discharged.
[0018] Further, a pin is provided on the upper side of the box body, and a limiting hole is opened at a position corresponding to the pin on the lower side of the gland.
[0019] With such a structural design, it can be guided by the pin, reducing the installation difficulty and ensuring the installation accuracy. At the same time, when the gland is installed, it can prevent the gland from damaging the sealing ring.
[0020] Beneficial effects:
[0021] 1. The sealed bearing box for spray working conditions of the present invention is provided with a gland, an upper sealing groove, a lower sealing groove, a sealing ring, a threaded hole, an annular intercepting plate, a sealing sub-ring and a baffle, which can effectively prevent external cooling medium from entering the inside of the bearing box, and will not cause the reduction or emulsification of the lubricating oil performance. It can fully lubricate and maintain the bearings and gears, thereby improving the service life of the bearings and gears, reducing the equipment failure time, and improving the equipment operation efficiency; at the same time, the sealing ring of the sealed bearing box of the present invention is made of metal material, which can effectively prevent emulsion corrosion and has a longer service life.
[0022] 2. Compared with oil seals and labyrinth seals, the sealed bearing box for spray working conditions of the present invention is more convenient for installation and maintenance. The sealing ring can be replaced without pulling out the bearing, greatly improving the maintenance efficiency of the equipment. The present invention can completely replace oil seals and labyrinth seals, solving the problems that oil seals are easily corroded and aged by cooling medium, and labyrinth seals require high precision and are not suitable for harsh places with large vibrations.
