Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hydraulically lubricated bearings for rolling mills, and specifically relates to a method for preventing axial movement and loosening of oil film bearings. Background Technology

[0002] Modern large-scale rolling mills, especially large continuous plate and strip rolling mills with automatic control over plate shape and thickness, mostly use oil film bearings. Those used as work roll bearings or support roll bearings in rolling mills are called rolling mill oil film bearings. Rolling mill oil film bearings are typically low-speed heavy-load, medium-speed medium-load, or heavy-load bearings. Generally, the axial positioning of oil film bearings is achieved through hydraulic devices, such as… Figure 1 As shown, the locking structure (composed of a screw ring and a nut) is used to achieve axial positioning of the oil film bearing. The locking force is achieved through the pressure value of the hydraulic device. Since the pressure value of the oil film bearing pressing device is related to many factors, insufficient preload during locking can lead to loosening of the threads during bearing operation. Furthermore, during the operation of the oil film bearing, the locking structure and the support roller rely on the contact of petals for positioning. Vibration during the rolling process of the support roller can cause axial movement of the support roller. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention aims to solve the problem of axial movement of the support roll during the rolling process.

[0004] The present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for preventing axial movement and loosening of an oil film bearing, wherein a damping structure is added between the tapered sleeve and the tapered sleeve ring of the oil film bearing, and the damping structure consists of compression springs evenly distributed around the axis of the tapered sleeve on the contact end face of the tapered sleeve and the tapered sleeve ring.

[0005] Furthermore, the axial load of the oil film bearing is calculated, and the parameters of the compression spring, wire diameter, distribution circle, compression amount, and number are determined based on the axial load of the oil film bearing.

[0006] The axial load of the oil film bearing is calculated using the following algebraic formula:

[0007]

[0008] Where f is the coefficient of friction between the rollers;

[0009] P - Rolling force, in tons;

[0010] K-coefficient,

[0011] L - Length of the contact area between the work roll and the support roll, in mm;

[0012] M - The limit displacement at half the width of the contact area between the work roll and the support roll;

[0013] υ - Roll morphology coefficient;

[0014] θ - the crossing angle between the work roll and the support roll, in radians (rad).

[0015] The total damping load generated by the compression spring is F 总 =0.45F b ~0.55F b .

[0016] Furthermore, the total damping load generated by the compression spring is 0.5%-1% of the total rolling force.

[0017] Furthermore, the compression spring is confined within the countersunk hole on the end face of the tapered sleeve, and the surface of the tapered sleeve ring that contacts the compression spring is a plane.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0019] This invention provides a method for preventing axial movement and loosening of oil film bearings. A spring damping structure is added between the tapered sleeve and the tapered ring of the oil film bearing. Based on the actual operating conditions of the bearing and its specifications, the required number of springs, free height, and the number and depth of damping holes for the damping connection between the tapered sleeve and the tapered ring are determined. When the bearing is axially positioned, it can be determined whether sufficient preload is generated (by checking the distance between the end faces of the nut and the ring to determine if the damping connection is fully effective), thereby achieving the anti-loosening effect of the locking structure.

[0028] like Figures 2-5 As shown: A method for preventing axial movement and loosening of an oil film bearing is to add a damping structure between the tapered sleeve and the tapered sleeve ring of the oil film bearing. The damping structure consists of compression springs evenly distributed around the axis of the tapered sleeve on the contact end face of the tapered sleeve and the tapered sleeve ring.

[0029] Calculate the axial load of the oil film bearing, and determine the parameters of the compression spring, wire diameter, distribution circle, compression amount, and number of springs based on the axial load of the oil film bearing.

[0030] The axial load of the oil film bearing is calculated using the following algebraic formula:
