[0002] The power battery winding machine is a lithium battery manufacturing equipment used to wind the diaphragm and the pole piece into a bare battery cell. The power battery winding machine is composed of many components and devices, and the most important component is the winding head. The winding head not only integrates the winding needle, station change, winding needle rotation, winding needle extension and other mechanisms, but also cooperates with the adhesive tape mechanism, unloading mechanism and other actions to complete various processes. Therefore, the winding head is the most important component that directly affects the battery cell forming. In order to ensure the smoothness of the winding head winding the battery cell, the winding head needs a bearing to provide continuous and stable rotation. The number of balls in the traditional lithium battery winding head ball bearing is constant. Since the lithium battery winding head needs to bear a small radial pressure, too many balls can easily cause the lithium battery winding head to rotate not light enough. Moreover, although the ball bearing ensures the stable rotation of the lithium battery winding head, the lithium battery winding head is prone to swing and slide when the battery cell is wound, which can easily cause the disadvantage of eccentric rotation of the ball bearing due to swinging and sliding.

On the inner ring outer wall B13 of the inner ring B9, a plurality of arc blocks B8 are arranged at intervals, one side of which is flush with one end face of the inner ring B9 and the other side protrudes from the other end face of the inner ring B9. A ball socket B12 is arranged on the outer edge of each arc block B8, and a spherical roller B11 capable of rolling is arranged in each ball socket B12. After the spherical roller A5 is installed in the ball socket A3, the outer diameter of the spherical roller B11 after being installed in the ball socket B12 is the same. The other end face of the inner ring A1 is adjacent to the other end face of the inner ring B9. The plurality of arc blocks B8 are arranged at intervals, and the outer diameter of the spherical roller A5 after being installed in the ball socket A3 is the same as that of the spherical roller B11 after being installed in the ball socket B12. The other end face of the inner ring A1 is adjacent to the other end face of the inner ring B9.
