[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0037] The air bearing, top foil support assembly and assembly method thereof provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0038] The inventors have discovered that a plurality of circular holes are provided on the mounting piece in the related art, and the plurality of circular holes are spaced apart along the extension direction of the mounting piece, and the support spring is screwed into each circular hole by spiral twisting, which makes installation difficult.

[0039] like Figures 3 to 8As shown, the embodiment of the present application discloses a top foil support assembly, including a mounting member 100 and a support spring 200. The mounting member 100 is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves 110, and the plurality of mounting grooves 110 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the mounting member 100. The mounting groove 110 includes a mounting section 111 and an insertion section 112 that are relatively bent and connected, and the insertion section 112 extends to the edge of the mounting member 100 at one end away from the mounting section 111. Optionally, the angle between the depth direction of the mounting section 111 and the depth direction of the insertion section 112 may be a right angle, an obtuse angle, or an acute angle, which is not limited in the present application. Here, the angle between the depth direction of the mounting section 111 and the depth direction of the insertion section 112 is the bending angle of the mounting groove 110; the support spring 200 may be made of a shape memory alloy, or the support spring 200 may not be made of a shape memory alloy, which is not limited in the present application.

[0040] The support spring 200 is used to support the top foil 300. The support spring 200 includes a plurality of circles of support units 210 connected in sequence. A circle of support units 210 is installed in each mounting section 111, and the support unit 210 can pass through the corresponding insertion section 112 and enter the corresponding mounting section 111. Here, the corresponding insertion section 112 refers to the insertion section 112 connected to the mounting section 111 where the support unit 210 is located. Specifically, a circle extending from the end of the support spring 200 along the extension direction of the support spring 200 is the first circle of support units 210, and a circle extending from the end of the first circle of support units 210 along the extension direction of the support spring 200 is the second circle of support units 210. By analogy, the support spring 200 of the embodiment of the present application has a plurality of circles of support units 210. Optionally, the number of circles of the support unit 210 can be the same as the number of the mounting slots 110, in which case each support unit 210 is installed in each mounting slot 110; or, the number of circles of the support unit 210 can be more than the number of the mounting slots 110, in which case some support units 210 are not installed in the mounting slots 110.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the mounting member 100 is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves 110 spaced apart along its own extension direction, the mounting groove 110 includes a mounting section 111 and an insertion section 112 that are relatively bent and connected, the insertion section 112 extending to the edge of the mounting member 100 at one end away from the mounting section 111, that is, the insertion section 112 passes through the mounting member 100 at one end away from the mounting section 111, when installing the support spring 200, one of the support spring 200 and the mounting member 100 can be controlled to move toward the direction approaching the other, so that the support unit 210 of the support spring 200 passes through the corresponding insertion section 112, at this time, the position of the support spring 200 corresponds to the opening of the mounting section 111, and then one of the support spring 200 and the mounting member 100 is controlled to move along the extension direction of the mounting member 100, so that the support unit 210 contacts the inner wall of the corresponding insertion section 112, and the installation of the support spring 200 is completed. It can be seen that after adopting the structure of the embodiment of the present application, the installation of the support spring 200 can be completed by only moving the support spring 200 or the mounting member 100, without the need to install the support spring 200 by spiral twisting, which can reduce the difficulty of installing the support spring 200 on the mounting member 100.

[0042] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 6 There are multiple mounting members 100, each mounting member 100 is provided with a corresponding support spring 200, the mounting section 111 has an opening connected to the insertion section 112 and a first inner wall 101 opposite to the opening, and two adjacent mounting members 100 are arranged in opposite directions so that the openings of the mounting sections 111 of the two adjacent mounting members 100 face opposite directions. Figure 6 Taking the perspective shown as an example, the openings of the mounting sections 111 of two adjacent mounting members 100 are oriented in opposite directions, which means that, of the two adjacent mounting members 100, the opening of the mounting section 111 of one mounting member 100 faces upward, and the opening of the mounting section 111 of the other mounting member 100 faces downward.

[0043] Two adjacent support springs 200 cross and contact each other, and any one support spring 200 keeps the adjacent support spring 200 in contact with the first inner wall 101 of the corresponding mounting section 111 , thereby preventing the support spring 200 from jumping along the extension direction of the mounting section 111 .

[0044] In this embodiment, the support unit 210 of the support spring 200 contacts the first inner wall 101 of the corresponding mounting groove 110, so the support spring 200 cooperates with the mounting member 100 in the first direction, where the first direction is the direction extending from the support unit 210 to the corresponding first inner wall 101, and the first direction is parallel to the extension direction of the mounting member 100; and the two adjacent support springs 200 of this embodiment intersect, that is, in the extension direction of the mounting member 100, the two adjacent support units 210 overlap, and in the two adjacent support springs 200, part of the support unit 210 of one of the support springs 200 extends into To between two adjacent circles of support units 210 of another support spring 200, and contact with the support unit 210 of another support spring 200, and because the two adjacent mounting members 100 are arranged in opposite directions, the support unit 210 of another support spring 200 cooperates with the mounting member 100 in the upper limit position in the opposite direction of the first direction, and the two adjacent support springs 200 also cooperate in the upper limit position in the opposite direction of the first direction, so as to achieve the purpose of "any one support spring 200 makes the adjacent support spring 200 keep in contact with the first inner wall 101 of the corresponding mounting section 111", thereby preventing the support spring 200 from jumping along the extension direction of the mounting section 111. It can be seen that this embodiment uses the mounting member 100 with the support spring 200 installed and the adjacent support spring 200 to limit the support spring 200, and prevents the support spring 200 from jumping along the extension direction of the mounting member 100, without adding other limiting structures, which can simplify the structure of the top foil support assembly.

[0045] For example, Figure 6 The leftmost mounting member 100 and support spring 200 are taken as an example for explanation. The leftmost support spring 200 is hung in the mounting groove 110 of the mounting member 100. The leftmost support spring 200 cooperates with the mounting member 100 in the upper limit position in the vertical downward direction, and the support spring 200 located on the right side of the support spring 200 cooperates with the corresponding mounting member 100 in the upper limit position in the vertical upward direction. Therefore, the leftmost support spring 200 cooperates with the support spring 200 located on its right side in the upper limit position in the vertical upward direction, so that the leftmost support spring 200 can be prevented from jumping along the extension direction of the mounting section 111.

[0046] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 6, the rotation directions of two adjacent support springs 200 are opposite, and each circle support unit 210 of any support spring 200 is in corresponding contact with each circle support unit 210 of the adjacent support spring 200. In this embodiment, the rotation directions of two adjacent support springs 200 are opposite, which can increase the contact area between the two adjacent support springs 200, thereby improving the limiting stability between the two adjacent support springs 200, so as to further prevent the support spring 200 from jumping along the axial direction of the mounting member 100. Of course, the rotation directions of two adjacent support springs 200 can also be the same, and this application is not limited to this.

[0047] Generally speaking, the support spring 200 is made of a shape memory alloy, so that after the support spring 200 is energized, the support spring 200 will stretch along its own extension direction, so that the support spring 200 expands and deforms in the radial direction, so as to improve the support strength of the support spring 200 on the top foil 300. In order to make the support spring 200 expand and deform better in the radial direction, in an optional embodiment, the two ends of the support spring 200 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the mounting member 100. In this embodiment, the two ends of the support spring 200 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the mounting member 100, and when the support spring 200 stretches along its own extension direction, the two ends of the support spring 200 can be prevented from jumping along the extension direction of the support spring 200, that is, the support spring 200 is prevented from stretching in the axial direction, so that the support spring 200 can be better expanded and deformed in the radial direction.

[0048] Since the size of the support spring 200 changes when the support spring 200 expands and deforms in the radial direction, in order to enable the mounting section 111 to adapt to the size change of the support spring 200 in the process of radial expansion and deformation, in an optional embodiment, refer to Figures 4 to 5 , the groove width of the installation section 111 is greater than the groove width of the insertion section 112. In this embodiment, the groove width of the installation section 111 is Figure 5 The slot width of the insertion section 112 is d1. Figure 5 In d2, the groove width of the mounting section 111 is greater than the groove width of the insertion section 112, that is, the groove width of the mounting section 111 is larger, and there is a gap between the support unit 210 and the side wall of the mounting section 111 after being installed to the mounting section 111, so that the mounting section 111 can adapt to the dimensional change of the support spring 200 during the radial expansion and deformation process, which not only prevents the support spring 200 from being damaged, but also enables the support spring 200 to expand and deform radially into a preset shape.

[0049] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 3, the portion of the support unit 210 corresponding to the mounting section 111 is completely located in the mounting section 111, that is, the groove depth of the mounting section 111 is relatively large, and the portion of the support unit 210 installed in the mounting section 111 does not protrude from the mounting section 111, which can increase the contact area between the support unit 210 and the inner wall of the mounting section 111, thereby increasing the limiting area of ​​the inner wall of the mounting section 111 on the support unit 210, preventing the support spring 200 from escaping from the mounting section 111 during radial deformation, so that the support spring 200 is stably installed in the mounting section 111 to stably support the top foil 300. Of course, the portion of the support unit 210 installed in the mounting section 111 may also protrude from the mounting section 111, and this is not limited in the present application.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the mounting section 111 has an opening connected to the insertion section 112 and a first inner wall 101 opposite to the opening, the first inner wall 101 is in contact with the corresponding support unit 210, and the first inner wall 101 extends along the extension direction of the corresponding support unit 210, and the support unit 210 corresponding to the first inner wall 101 is: the support unit 210 in contact with the first inner wall 101. In this embodiment, the first inner wall 101 extends along the extension direction of the corresponding support unit 210, that is, the first inner wall 101 extends along the spiral direction, and the rotation direction of the first inner wall 101 is the same as the rotation direction of the corresponding support unit 210, which can make the contact between the first inner wall 101 and the corresponding support unit 210 a line contact, so as to eliminate the gap between the first inner wall 101 and the corresponding support unit 210 when there is a point contact between the two, which can make the first inner wall 101 and the corresponding support unit 210 in better contact, thereby improving the limiting stability between the first inner wall 101 and the corresponding support unit 210, so as to further prevent the support spring 200 from jumping along the extension direction of the mounting member 100.

[0051] For further examples, see Figure 5 The longitudinal length of the mounting member 100 is greater than the groove width of the mounting section 111. Here, the longitudinal length of the mounting member 100 is d3, which allows the first inner wall 101 to have a larger extension length in the extension direction of the corresponding support unit 210, so as to increase the contact area between the first inner wall 101 and the corresponding support unit 210, and further improve the limiting stability between the first inner wall 101 and the corresponding support unit 210, so as to further prevent the support spring 200 from jumping along the extension direction of the mounting member 100.

[0052] like Figure 1 to Figure 2As shown, the embodiment of the present application also discloses an air bearing, including the top foil support assembly described in any of the above embodiments. After adopting the structure of the embodiment of the present application, the support spring 200 can be installed by only moving the support spring 200 or the mounting member 100, without the need to install the support spring 200 by spiral twisting, which can reduce the difficulty of installing the support spring 200 on the mounting member 100.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the air bearing further comprises a bearing housing 400, the bearing housing 400 comprises a shell body 410 and an end cover 420, the end cover 420 is detachably arranged at one end of the shell body 410, the number of mounting members 100 is multiple, each mounting member 100 is correspondingly provided with a support spring 200, and the multiple mounting members 100 are all arranged in the shell body 410, for example, the multiple mounting members 100 can be distributed along the circumferential direction of the shell body 410. Optionally, the end cover 420 and the shell body 410 can be detachably connected by threaded connection, screw connection, clamping, etc.; the number of the end cover 420 can be one or two, when the number of the end cover 420 is one, the shell body 410 is a cylindrical member with one end closed and the other end open, when the number of the end cover 420 is two, the shell body 410 is a cylindrical member with both ends open, and the end cover 420 is respectively connected to both ends of the shell body 410.

[0054] The mounting section 111 has an opening connected to the insertion section 112. Two adjacent mounting members 100 are arranged in opposite directions so that the openings of the mounting sections 111 of the two adjacent mounting members 100 face in opposite directions. The mounting section 111 has a first inner wall 101 opposite to the opening. Figure 6 Taking the perspective shown as an example, the openings of the mounting sections 111 of two adjacent mounting members 100 are oriented in opposite directions, which means that, of the two adjacent mounting members 100, the opening of the mounting section 111 of one mounting member 100 faces upward, and the opening of the mounting section 111 of the other mounting member 100 faces downward.

[0055] Two adjacent support springs 200 intersect, and the end cover 420 can press at least part of the mounting member 100 to make any two adjacent support springs 200 abut against each other, and any one support spring 200 keeps the adjacent support spring 200 abutting against the first inner wall 101 of the corresponding mounting section 111 .

[0056] The specific installation process is as follows, please refer to Figure 8, first assemble each support spring 200 onto each mounting piece 100, then assemble each mounting piece 100 into the shell body 410, and set two adjacent mounting pieces 100 in opposite directions, so that two adjacent support springs 200 cross and contact each other, and any one support spring 200 can make the adjacent support spring 200 keep in contact with the first inner wall 101 of the corresponding mounting section 111, at this time, the height of some mounting pieces 100 is higher than the height of another part of the mounting pieces 100, and when the end cover 420 is installed to one end of the shell body 410, the end cover 420 will contact the mounting piece 100, so when the end cover 420 is installed to one end of the shell body 410, it will squeeze the mounting piece 100 with the highest height, so that this part of the mounting piece 100 and the corresponding support spring 200 move downward, and the support spring When moving downward, 200 will squeeze the adjacent support springs 200, so that the purpose of abutting the two adjacent support springs 200 can be achieved, and the abutment of the two adjacent support springs 200 can generate elastic abutting pressure between the two adjacent support springs 200. Therefore, any one of the support springs 200 can make the adjacent support springs 200 keep abutting against the first inner wall 101 of the corresponding mounting section 111. That is to say, after the support spring 200 contacts the first inner wall 101 of the mounting section 111, the support spring 200 moves a distance along the extension direction of the mounting member 100, so that a abutting pressure extending along the extension direction of the mounting member 100 is generated between the two adjacent support springs 200, which can further prevent the support spring 200 from jumping along the extension direction of the mounting member 100.

[0057] Furthermore, the shell body 410 is provided with a plurality of grooves, each groove extending along the axial direction of the shell body 410 , and each mounting member 100 is respectively disposed in each groove.

[0058] The embodiment of the present application further discloses a method for assembling a top foil support assembly, which is used to assemble the top foil support assembly described in any of the above embodiments, comprising:

[0059] S100 , obtaining the mounting member 100 and the supporting spring 200 .

[0060] S200, controlling one of the support spring 200 and the mounting member 100 to move toward the other, so that the support unit 210 of the support spring 200 passes through the corresponding insertion section 112. Specifically, when the support unit 210 of the support spring 200 passes through the corresponding insertion section 112, the position of the support spring 200 corresponds to the opening of the mounting section 111.

[0061] S300, controlling one of the support spring 200 and the mounting member 100 to move along the extension direction of the mounting member 100, so that the support unit 210 contacts the inner wall of the corresponding insertion section 112, thereby completing the installation of the support spring 200.

[0062] It can be seen that the embodiment of the present application only needs to move the support spring 200 or the mounting member 100 to complete the installation of the support spring 200, without the need to install the support spring 200 by spiral twisting, which can reduce the difficulty of installing the support spring 200 on the mounting member 100.
