TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a kind of water-lubricated bearings, in particular to a kind of permanent magnet water-lubricated bearings with staggered structure double eccentric cylinder composite bearing bush. BACKGROUND
[0002] Water-lubricated bearings are a kind of high-performance bearings that use high molecular materials to replace traditional metal materials as the working interface of transmission components and use natural water to replace mineral oil as the lubricating medium of transmission system. Because of its advantages of resource conservation, environmental friendliness, simple assembly, safety and reliability, it is widely used in many engineering machinery and ship equipment transmission systems. However, water-lubricated bearings often operate under harsh conditions of low speed and heavy load. At the same time, due to the low viscosity of natural water, the water film has low carrying capacity, and it is easy to form boundary or mixed lubrication state. The contact area between the bearing and the shaft increases, the tribological performance deteriorates, the friction and wear intensify, and friction self-excited vibration is easily induced. Therefore, reducing the contact pressure and friction and wear of water-lubricated bearings is very important for improving their service performance and stable operation for a long time.
[0003] Over the years, to solve the above problems, researchers have conducted a large number of studies on the structure design of water-lubricated bearings, the selection of water-lubricated bearing bush materials, and surface texturing to reduce the friction and wear and vibration and noise of water-lubricated bearings and achieve reliable operation of water-lubricated bearings. From the existing patents, the patent entitled "Permanent magnet auxiliary support type water-lubricated bearing and marine transportation equipment" (publication number: CN210461399U) designs a permanent magnet water-lubricated bearing based on magnetic support technology to replace the traditional water-lubricated bearing, which reduces the contact pressure, friction and vibration and wear rate under the same bearing capacity, while the partial contact ensures the lateral stiffness and the stability of the shafting. The patent entitled "High-load polymer-based water-lubricated modified material and its preparation method" (publication number: CN116120566A) selects a high polymer material as the water-lubricated bearing bush material and modifies the material to optimize the tribological performance to reduce the friction coefficient and wear rate. The patent entitled "Bearing bush with functionally graded biomimetic textured surface and water-lubricated bearing" (publication number: CN212297292U) applies surface texturing on the surface of the water-lubricated bearing bush to enhance the dynamic pressure effect and reduce the friction. The patent entitled "Double-layer vibration reduction type tilting pad radial sliding bearing" (publication number: CN213176474U) adopts a double-layer material structure design for the radial sliding bearing to enhance the liquid film bearing stiffness and increase the ability to absorb vibration energy, with excellent vibration reduction and noise reduction characteristics. In the literature entitled "Self-adaptive water-lubricated stern bearing tribology and dynamics performance analysis", Ma Jun et al. proposed a new type of water-lubricated stern bearing structure with self-adaptive performance, mainly composed of a bearing bush, an elastic element and a damping alloy. The self-adaptive structure of the stern bearing can make the bearing evenly loaded, improve the bearing lubrication state, reduce the bearing wear, and improve the bearing operation life and optimize the vibration transmission characteristics. The patent entitled "Water-lubricated stern bearing device with high bearing capacity and vibration reduction" (publication number: CN113404778A) adds a damping structure in the bearing bush to generate a larger damping to form energy dissipation and achieve the purpose of reducing bearing vibration. From the above research and patents, the main measures to design a water-lubricated bearing with low friction and wear, long service life and stable service include: 1) based on magnetic support technology, reduce the stress on the bearing bush; 2) use modified high polymer materials instead of traditional rubber materials to reduce the possibility of friction and vibration; 3) strengthen the dynamic pressure effect through micro-texture to reduce the contact pressure and friction; 4) use elastic elements to reduce the unevenness of axial load and wear caused by shaft bending; 5) increase the damping structure to improve the vibration isolation capacity of the bearing bush material and reduce vibration. The above patents or literature often only improve from a single aspect, and these measures integrated into the permanent magnet water-lubricated bearing face many design challenges. For example, the new type of modified high polymer material designed for water-lubricated bearings has the advantages of low friction and low wear, but such materials often have a higher elastic modulus than traditional rubber bearing bushes by more than one order of magnitude, and the increase in support stiffness leads to poor vibration stability.The patent with the patent name of end face gradually expanding multi-layer composite water lubrication bearing (publication number: CN113202859A) is used to solve this problem, adopts a composite bearing bush structure, the inner surface adopts a polymer material to reduce friction vibration, and the outer structure adopts a rubber layer support to improve the eccentric load and vibration reduction performance of the bearing. However, the concentric multi-layer cylindrical bearing bush design increases the air gap between the permanent magnet structure and the bearing bush, which can reduce the magnetic force and increase the total load of the bearing bush. In addition, the patent with the patent name of a vibration reduction and noise reduction water lubrication bearing (publication number: CN206144989U) adopts a surface texture pit which can lose the dynamic pressure enhancement effect due to surface wear during actual service. Therefore, a new type of permanent magnet water lubrication bearing is needed, which can simultaneously meet the requirements of magnetic force, low friction vibration, low friction wear, high vibration isolation performance and high eccentric load capacity.

[0048] Furthermore, the inner bearing 7 is made of polymer material or polymer modified material, including PEEK, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, nylon, and ferropolymer; the outer bearing 8 is made of rubber or polyurethane material.
[0049] Furthermore, the interlaced structure 9 of the inner bearing bush 7 is distributed on the outer surface of the bearing bearing area, and the inner surface is directly rubbed against the shaft; the inner surface of the outer bearing bush 8 is provided with an interlaced structure 9 corresponding to the outer surface of the inner bearing bush 7, and the outer surface is in close contact with the inner surface of the bearing housing 1.
[0050] Furthermore, the bearing end cap 4 is fixed to the end face of the bearing housing 1 by screws 6.

[0055] The functions and roles of some structures in this invention are as follows:
[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the presence of the permanent magnet unit and the guarantee of the range of radian angle values can provide an upward magnetic force, reduce the load of the rotating shaft on the water-lubricated bearing, improve the lubrication condition, and reduce the friction and wear of the water-lubricated bearing.
[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, the dimensions of the double eccentric cylinder composite bearing 5 meet the following requirements. The relationship ensures the double-layer eccentric cylinder structure; satisfies The relationship ensures that the thickness of the thinnest part of the double eccentric cylinder composite bearing 5 is less than a certain value, thereby obtaining sufficient magnetic force; satisfying The formula ensures that the thickness of the inner bearing shell 7 is not less than the thickness of the outer bearing shell 8, thereby enhancing the strength of the water-lubricated bearing. The double eccentric cylinder composite bearing shell 5 is installed inside the bearing housing 1. The design of the double eccentric cylinder structure can reduce the air gap between the permanent magnet unit and the double eccentric cylinder composite bearing shell 5, increase the magnetic force, and thus reduce the load on the water-lubricated bearing, thereby reducing the friction and wear of the water-lubricated bearing.
[0058] like Figures 4-7 As shown, the interlaced structure 9 is a rectangular tooth structure, symmetrical about the vertical centerline of the bearing housing 1. The arc angle β of the interlaced structure 9 ranges from 10° to 45°, ensuring that the interlaced structure 9 is located in the contact area between the shaft and the bearing, i.e., the load-bearing area of the water-lubricated bearing. The interlaced structure 9 of the inner bearing bush 7 is located on the outer surface of the load-bearing area, and the interlaced structure 9 of the outer bearing bush 8 is located on the inner surface corresponding to the interlaced structure 9 of the inner bearing bush 7. The shape, orientation, size, and positional relationships of the interlaced structure 9 shown in the attached figures are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the interlaced structure must have a specific shape, orientation, and size, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention.
[0059] like Figures 4-7 As shown, the inner bearing shell 7 and the outer bearing shell 8 are bonded together to form a double eccentric cylindrical composite bearing shell 5. When the shaft-bearing system is in operation, the inner bearing shell 7, through friction with the shaft, can improve the tribological performance of the bearing, reduce friction and wear, and increase the bearing life. The outer bearing shell 8 adapts to changes in the shaft, improves its resistance to eccentric loads, and plays a role in buffering and vibration reduction. At the same time, due to the different material properties of the inner bearing shell 7 and the outer bearing shell 8 and the presence of the staggered structure 9, the differences in local surface deformation form alternating liquid film gaps, which can improve the lubrication state between the shaft and the bearing shell, promote the generation of hydrodynamic lubrication, thereby enhancing the hydrodynamic effect and reducing the friction, wear, vibration, and noise of water-lubricated bearings.
