Abnormal wear of the retainer may cause the retainer to break, thereby causing the bearing to fail; and abnormal wear of the retainer is accompanied by abnormal increase of heat and iron filings and abrasive particles inside the bearing, thereby increasing the wear of the bearing rollers and raceways and reducing the service life.

The lower end of the inner side link assembly is connected with the connecting ring 1-4 on the inner side surface of the inner baffle 1-2, and the lower end of the outer side link assembly is provided with the second roller 2-6, which is arranged in the guide raceway 1-1-1 on the outer side surface of the outer baffle 1-1.

[0054] The spring assembly 2-4 comprises a spring and an adjusting stud, and the upper end of the inner side link assembly and the outer side link assembly is provided with a threaded hole. The two ends of the spring are connected with the adjusting studs, and the two adjusting studs at the two ends are connected with the two threaded holes respectively.

[0055] In the inner side link assembly and the outer side link assembly, one of them is provided with a threaded hole in the middle part, and the other is provided with a counterbore hole. After the middle screw rod is installed in the counterbore hole, it is connected with the threaded hole. By screwing the middle screw rod, the distance between the inner side link assembly and the outer side link assembly can be adjusted. Therefore, the distance between the inner side link assembly and the outer side link assembly can be flexibly adjusted according to the thickness of the outer baffle and the inner baffle. By screwing the adjusting stud to change the compression amount of the spring and thus the spring force, the reaction force generated by the clamping of the inner side link assembly and the outer side link assembly on the outer baffle and the inner baffle can be balanced.

In the embodiment, the motor is a speed-reducing motor, an encoder is built-in to feedback the angular displacement of the motor shaft, and the motor speed is indirectly obtained by combining time.

[0060] Referring to Figure 7 , the monitoring assembly 4 includes a photosensitive sensor 4-1, a plurality of photosensitive sensors 4-1 are arranged on the inner baffle 1-2 along the circumferential direction, and the photosensitive sensors 4-1 are arranged one-to-one with the rollers in the retainer; the roller 6 is embedded with a fluorescent block 6-1 along the generatrix direction, and the monitoring end of the photosensitive sensor 4-1 is aligned with the roller 6, and the rotation number of the roller is recorded by the photosensitive sensor. The cooperation of the fluorescent block and the photosensitive sensor can accurately record the rotation number of the roller, and the rotation difference between the rollers can be obtained by comparing the recording data of each photosensitive sensor.

[0061] Further, the inner baffle 1-2 is provided with a tapered wedge hole, and the photosensitive sensor 4-1 is arranged in the tapered wedge hole through a mounting block 4-2. The tapered wedge hole can realize self-tightening of the mounting block 4-2 on the inner baffle and realize quick alignment of the mounting block. Preferably, the mounting block 4-2 is provided with a stop edge 4-2-1 distributed on both sides of the roller (i.e. both sides in the roller axis direction) at one end close to the roller, so as to prevent the photosensitive sensor from receiving light from the fluorescent block on the adjacent roller and causing false counting. The mounting block 4-2 is provided with a dismounting threaded hole 4-2-2 at one end away from the roller, and the mounting block can be taken out of the tapered wedge hole by screwing a screw into the dismounting threaded hole and knocking the screw.

[0062] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 , the monitoring assembly 4 further comprises a proximity switch 4-3, a torque sensor 4-4, a noise sensor 4-5 and a vibration sensor 4-6.

The noise sensor and the vibration sensor are arranged on the surface of the cage and can be flexibly adjusted according to actual conditions in addition to the mounting positions shown in Figure 8 . The proximity switch 4-3 is arranged on the inner side of the outer baffle 1-1 and is used to limit the movement stroke of the inner baffle. Specifically, the proximity switch is arranged at both ends of the inner side of the outer baffle.

[0063] Preferably, the first roller and the second roller in the embodiment are both bearings.

[0064] The embodiment further provides a method for monitoring the movement state of the cage by using the above monitoring device, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0065] When the driving assembly drives the inner baffle, the cage and the roller to move at a uniform speed, the torque sensor value is the running friction torque of the monitoring device. Therefore, a qualified cage is taken as a sample, is put into the monitoring device to perform movement simulation, and the motor output torque m1 and the motor speed n1 during uniform movement are obtained. The test cage is put into the monitoring device to perform movement simulation, and the motor output torque m2 at the motor speed n1 is obtained. If m2 exceeds 110% of m1, it is considered that the movement state of the test cage is abnormal. Similarly, vibration and noise data can also be compared to assist in analyzing the movement state.

[0066] The encoder feedback motor shaft speed is V1 (rad / s); the worm gear (i.e., transmission group) transmission ratio is k1, and the gear rack transmission ratio is k2; the inner side surface outer diameter of the inner baffle in contact with the roller is R1 (mm), and the roller radius is R2 (mm);

[0067] The rack speed is:

[0068] V2 (rad / s) = k1 * k2 * V1;

[0069] The inner baffle is rigidly connected with the rack, and the speeds of the two are equal, so the linear speed of the inner side surface of the inner baffle in contact with the roller is:

[0070] V3 (mm / s) = 2 * π * R1 * V2;

[0071] The theoretical speed of the roller is:

[0072]

[0073] The theoretical signal frequency of the photosensitive sensor is (persons skilled in the art know that the calculation of the theoretical signal frequency is related to the structure of the device, and the expression of the theoretical signal frequency of the device of different structures and different transmission modes will be different, but the theoretical signal frequency is always equal to the theoretical speed of the roller):

[0074] f (Hz) = n;

[0075] By comparing the actual acquisition signal frequency of the photosensitive sensor with the theoretical signal frequency, if the actual acquisition signal frequency is lower than 95% of the theoretical signal frequency, the roller corresponding to the photosensitive sensor is considered to be a cage hole stuck roller.

[0076] By comparing the actual acquisition signal frequencies of different photosensitive sensors at the same time, the positions of the test cage with relatively poor quality in each cage hole are obtained (here, the quality refers to whether the cage hole will be stuck with the roller, and if the roller rotates smoothly, the quality is considered to be good, and if one or more rollers rotate worse than the other rollers of the test cage, the quality of the one or more cage holes is considered to be poor).

[0077] If the motor output torque, vibration and noise of the test cage exceed 110% of the motor output torque, vibration and noise of the sample cage under uniform motion at the same speed, but the actual acquisition signal frequency of the photosensitive sensor is more than 95% of the theoretical signal frequency, it is considered that the arc or / and the leg of the side surface of the test cage is unqualified.

[0078] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
