Detailed Implementation
[0038] Exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote elements that have the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, they are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.
[0039] This invention provides a magnetic fluid dual suspension bearing and a control system, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a magnetic fluid dual suspension bearing system structure includes an axial sensing unit 1, a first axial balancing unit 2, a first radial bearing unit 3, a first radial sensing unit 4, a rotating shaft 5, a second radial sensing unit 6, a second radial bearing unit 7, a second axial balancing unit 8, a cage 9, and a power unit 10.
[0040] The first axial balancing unit 2 and the second axial balancing unit 8 in this application replace the traditional thrust plate structure, avoiding damage such as shaft warping caused by temperature rise and deformation of the traditional thrust plate. They use two electromagnetic forces of adjustable magnitude in opposite directions to balance the axial force.
[0041] The axial sensing unit 1 is designed to sense the deviation of the axial displacement of the rotating shaft and input it to the control system to adjust the axial balancing force, which is a supporting design for balancing the axial force.
[0042] The first radial bearing unit 3 and the second radial bearing unit 7 provide radial support and prevent falling.
[0043] The first coil 304 or the second coil 704 is energized to generate a magnetic field, which causes the first stator 305 or the second stator 705 to generate an electromagnetic force with the first magnetic sleeve 301 or the second magnetic sleeve 701. The electromagnetic force causes the rotating shaft and the workpiece fixed on it to levitate, and the connected power unit causes the rotating shaft and the workpiece fixed on it to rotate.
[0044] The eight oil ports are located on the eight magnetic poles, which are the stator columns of the first and second stators, enabling the hydraulic system to enter and exit oil. The oil flows through the magnetic sleeve to form an oil film, supporting the rotating shaft.
[0045] The first coil 304 and the second coil 704 on the first radial bearing unit 3 and the second radial bearing unit 7 are energized to generate a magnetic field, which causes the stator column and the magnetic sleeve to generate electromagnetic force; oil flows in from the stator column and flows through the first magnetic sleeve 301 and the second magnetic sleeve 701, thereby generating static pressure support force, making the device work more stably.
[0046] The first anti-drop permanent magnet support 306 or the second anti-drop permanent magnet support 706 generates a repulsive force with the first anti-drop permanent magnet ring 303 or the second anti-drop permanent magnet ring 703, providing partial support force for the rotating shaft. When the electromagnetic support or hydrostatic support is damaged, the design of the first anti-drop permanent magnet support 306 or the second anti-drop permanent magnet support 706 and the first anti-drop permanent magnet ring 303 or the second anti-drop permanent magnet ring 703 can provide buffer force and adjustment time, ensuring that the rotating shaft does not fall during electromagnetic or hydrostatic adjustment.
[0047] The first radial sensing unit 4 and the second radial sensing unit 6 are designed to sense the deviation of the radial displacement of the rotating shaft and input it to the control system to adjust the radial balancing force, which is a supporting design for balancing the radial force.
