Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of bearing retainers, and in particular relates to a plastic-coated spherical bearing isolation block. Background Art

[0002] Slewing bearing is a special structure bearing that can bear large axial load, radial load and overturning moment and other total loads at the same time. It is widely used in engineering machinery, transportation machinery, wind power generation machinery and other fields. Slewing bearing can usually include inner ring and outer ring, steel ball rolling body and isolation block. The steel ball rolling body and isolation block are alternately arranged in the arc raceway formed by the outer ring and the inner ring. The two ends of the isolation block are made into concave spherical surfaces to adapt to the rolling body, that is, the steel ball. Plastic isolation blocks are widely used in various occasions due to their advantages such as light weight, easy processing, corrosion resistance, cost-effectiveness, shock resistance and moisture resistance. However, the impact load under complex working conditions during the operation of the bearing will have a great impact on the reliability and service life of the plastic isolation block, which may cause the isolation block to deform or even break. At the same time, in order to ensure the flexible rotation of the product, a certain gap should be ensured between the isolation block and the steel ball. The isolation blocks are separate individuals, and their positions relative to each other are constantly changing during movement. The deformation of the plastic isolation block due to impact may cause the circumferential gap between the spherical rolling elements to continue to increase, causing the isolation block to fall out or flip over, affecting the normal operation of the bearing. It can be seen that the existing technology needs to be further improved and enhanced. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention provides a plastic-coated spherical bearing isolation block to solve the problems of low strength and short service life of existing bearing isolation blocks made of plastic materials. A plastic-coated spherical bearing isolation block is developed, which combines a metal reinforcement and an isolation block design with a polymer plastic shell, and can significantly improve the strength, load-bearing capacity and service life of the isolation block.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A plastic-coated spherical bearing isolation block comprises an isolation block body, both end faces of the isolation block body are concave spherical faces, the isolation block body comprises a metal reinforcement member at the core and a polymer plastic shell wrapping the metal reinforcement member, so as to enhance the strength and load-bearing capacity of the isolation block and extend the service life of the isolation block.

[0006] The plastic-coated spherical bearing isolation block of the present application can significantly improve the compressive resistance and stability of the entire isolation block by placing a metal reinforcement in the core of the isolation block. The metal reinforcement in the core is an important guarantee for the strength of the isolation block. Since the metal has excellent mechanical properties and strength, it can effectively resist external pressure and impact, and the polymer plastic shell not only has good toughness and elasticity, but also can resist certain impacts and vibrations. It can tightly wrap the metal reinforcement inside to form an integral structure, thereby enhancing the bearing capacity of the isolation block. In addition, the polymer plastic shell also has certain wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which can extend the service life of the isolation block. This isolation block design combining metal reinforcement and polymer plastic shell can significantly improve the strength, bearing capacity and service life of the isolation block. Compared with plastic material isolation blocks, they can well meet the use requirements in various complex environments and improve the stability and reliability of bearings.

[0007] In a preferred implementation, the metal reinforcement comprises a metal ring, the opening diameters of both ends of the metal ring gradually decrease toward the center, and a metal sheet is provided at the minimum diameter of the metal ring.

[0008] The openings at both ends of the metal ring gradually decrease in diameter toward the center, forming a cone-like structure. This design can more effectively disperse and withstand forces from all directions. The metal sheet is set at the smallest diameter of the metal ring to further enhance the strength of the isolation block. The metal sheet not only provides additional support, but also forms an integral part with the metal ring to resist external pressure and impact.

[0009] In a preferred implementation, the diameter of the metal ring is greater than or equal to the diameter of the concave spherical surface.

[0010] When the diameter of the metal ring is greater than or equal to the diameter of the concave spherical surface of the polymer plastic, the metal ring can better support and fix the polymer plastic part. This design makes the entire isolation block structure more stable and less prone to deformation or displacement, thereby improving the overall stability of the isolation block.

[0011] In a preferred implementation, the metal sheet is arched to enhance the support capability for the concave spherical surface.

[0012] The design of the arched metal sheet can more effectively disperse the pressure from the concave spherical surface. The arched structure itself has excellent compressive resistance. It can evenly distribute the force to the entire metal sheet instead of concentrating it on a certain point or area. This characteristic of dispersing force makes the isolation block more stable when under pressure, reducing the risk of deformation or damage caused by excessive local pressure. In addition, as part of the metal reinforcement, the arched design of the metal sheet not only enhances the support capacity of the concave spherical surface, but also improves the rigidity of the entire isolation block structure.

[0013] In a preferred implementation, the metal sheet is magnetic, and the two metal sheets provided in the metal ring have the same magnetic properties.

[0014] The magnetic interaction between metal sheets of the same magnetic properties can be regarded as an inherent supporting force within the isolation block, which enhances the overall structural rigidity of the isolation block.

[0015] In a preferred implementation, the metal sheets provided in adjacent isolation blocks in the bearing have opposite or identical magnetic properties to ensure a gap between the isolation blocks and the rolling elements.

[0016] When the metal sheets have the same magnetic properties, they will generate a mutually repelling magnetic force, which helps to keep the relative position between the isolation blocks stable and reduce deformation and gap increase caused by impact. When the metal sheets have opposite magnetic properties, they will generate a mutually attractive magnetic force, which can also stabilize the position of the isolation blocks.

[0017] In a preferred implementation, the metal sheet is provided with a first through hole at the center and a plurality of second through holes around the center, and the isolation block formed by the metal reinforcement wrapped with polymer plastic is provided with a first oil channel and a second oil channel connecting the two concave spherical surfaces.

[0018] The first oil channel and the second oil channel arranged at the center of the isolation block and around the center can reduce the contact area between the ball and the isolation block and reduce friction. The lubricating oil can enter the contact area between the ball and the isolation block more directly and effectively to achieve deep lubrication. In the process of flowing through the first oil channel and the second oil channel, the lubricating oil can take away part of the heat generated by friction and solve the problem of heat and wear.

[0019] In a preferred implementation, an oil storage space is enclosed between the two metal sheets and the metal ring.

[0020] The oil storage space design enclosed by the two metal sheets and the metal ring allows more lubricating oil to be stored inside the isolation block. This not only ensures that the bearing has sufficient lubricating oil supply during long-term operation, but also reduces the degradation of lubricating performance and increased wear caused by insufficient lubricating oil.

[0021] In a preferred implementation, the metal ring is provided with a third through hole connected to the oil storage space, and the isolation block formed by the metal reinforcement wrapped with the polymer plastic is correspondingly provided with a third oil channel connected to the oil storage space.

[0022] Since the metal ring design itself has sufficient strength and stability, the third through hole on the metal ring will not have a significant impact on the overall strength of the isolation block. The third through hole and the third oil channel enable the lubricating oil in the oil storage space to flow smoothly to the parts that need lubrication. During the movement of the bearing, the lubricating oil can be continuously thrown out from the oil storage space through the third through hole and the third oil channel or enter the oil storage space from the third oil channel, ensuring that the concave spherical surface and other key parts are always fully lubricated. At the same time, the opening of the third oil channel improves the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0023] In a preferred implementation, the concave spherical surface of the isolation block body is provided with an oil groove, and a plurality of oil grooves are arranged around the first oil channel.

[0024] A plurality of oil grooves are arranged around the first oil channel, which can further reduce friction and improve lubrication between the rolling ball and the isolation block. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In the following, only some exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and descriptions are considered to be exemplary and non-restrictive in nature.

[0034] The present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0035] The specific plans adopted are:

[0036] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a plastic-coated spherical bearing isolation block, including an isolation block body, both end surfaces of the isolation block body are concave spherical surfaces 20, the isolation block body includes a core metal reinforcement 1 and a polymer plastic shell 2 that wraps the metal reinforcement 1, so as to enhance the strength and load-bearing capacity of the isolation block and extend the service life of the isolation block.

[0037] The plastic-coated spherical bearing isolation block of the present application can significantly improve the compressive resistance and stability of the entire isolation block by placing the metal reinforcement 1 in the core of the isolation block. The metal reinforcement 1 in the core is an important guarantee for the strength of the isolation block. Since the metal has excellent mechanical properties and strength, it can effectively resist external pressure and impact, and the polymer plastic shell 2 not only has good toughness and elasticity, but also can resist certain impacts and vibrations. It can tightly wrap the metal reinforcement 1 inside to form an integral structure, thereby enhancing the bearing capacity of the isolation block. In addition, the polymer plastic shell 2 also has certain wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which can extend the service life of the isolation block. This isolation block design combining the metal reinforcement 1 and the polymer plastic shell 2 can significantly improve the strength, bearing capacity and service life of the isolation block. Compared with plastic material isolation blocks, they can well meet the use requirements in various complex environments and improve the stability and reliability of bearings.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the metal reinforcement 1 includes a metal ring 10 , the opening diameters of both ends of the metal ring 10 gradually decrease toward the center, and a metal sheet 11 is provided at the minimum diameter of the metal ring 10 .

[0039] The caliber of the openings at both ends of the metal ring 10 gradually decreases toward the center, forming a cone-like structure. This design can more effectively disperse and withstand forces from all directions. When subjected to external pressure, the conical structure can evenly disperse the force to the entire metal ring 10, rather than concentrating it at a certain point or area, thereby improving the bearing capacity of the isolation block. The metal sheet 11 is arranged at the minimum caliber of the metal ring 10 to further enhance the strength of the isolation block. The metal sheet 11 can not only provide additional support, but also form an integral body with the metal ring 10 to jointly resist external pressure and impact. This design makes the isolation block more stable and reliable when subjected to high loads, and is suitable for occasions that need to withstand high loads and impacts.

[0040] As a preferred example of this implementation, the diameter of the metal ring 10 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the concave spherical surface 20 .

[0041] When the diameter of the metal ring 10 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the polymer plastic concave spherical surface 20, the metal ring 10 can better support and fix the polymer plastic part. This design makes the entire isolation block structure more stable and less prone to deformation or displacement, thereby improving the overall stability of the isolation block. A larger diameter of the metal ring 10 means that the cross-sectional area of ​​the metal part is larger, so it has higher bending and torsion resistance. The increased contact area between the metal ring 10 and the polymer plastic concave spherical surface 20 helps to distribute stress more evenly. This can reduce stress concentration, reduce the risk of damage caused by excessive local pressure, and improve the durability of the isolation block. When subjected to external pressure or impact, the larger metal ring 10 can more effectively disperse the force, improve the bearing capacity of the isolation block, and reduce the risk of damage.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the metal sheet 11 is arched to enhance the support capability of the concave spherical surface 20 .

[0043] The design of the arched metal sheet 11 can more effectively disperse the pressure from the concave spherical surface 20. The arched structure itself has excellent compressive resistance. It can evenly distribute the force to the entire metal sheet 11, rather than concentrating it at a certain point or area. This characteristic of dispersing force makes the isolation block more stable when under pressure, reducing the risk of deformation or damage caused by excessive local pressure. In addition, as part of the metal reinforcement 1, the arched design of the metal sheet 11 not only enhances the support capacity of the concave spherical surface 20, but also improves the rigidity of the entire isolation block structure. This rigid structure can better resist external shocks and vibrations, ensuring the stability and durability of the isolation block in harsh environments.

[0044] As a preferred example of this implementation, the metal sheet 11 is magnetic, and the two metal sheets 11 provided in the metal ring 10 have the same magnetic properties.

[0045] The magnetic interaction between the metal sheets 11 of the same magnetic properties can be regarded as an internal supporting force in the isolation block, which enhances the overall structural rigidity of the isolation block. This enables the isolation block to resist greater deformation when subjected to external forces, and the magnetic interaction helps to evenly distribute stress between the metal sheets 11, avoiding stress concentration. Evenly distributed stress can reduce permanent deformation caused by excessive local pressure, thereby facilitating the recovery of the isolation block after deformation.

[0046] Furthermore, the metal sheets 11 provided on adjacent isolation blocks in the bearing have opposite or identical magnetic properties to ensure a gap between the isolation blocks and the rolling elements.

[0047] As separate entities in the bearing, the relative positions of the spacers will change continuously during the movement of the bearing. When the plastic spacers are deformed by impact, their relative positions may change, causing the circumferential clearance between the spherical rolling elements to increase continuously. This increase in clearance may not only cause the spacers to fall out or flip over during movement, but may also affect the rolling efficiency and stability of the bearing, and even cause bearing failure.

[0048] In order to solve this problem, the metal sheets 11 set in adjacent isolation blocks in the bearing are designed to have opposite or same magnetic properties, and the rolling elements and inner and outer rings are made of non-magnetic materials. When the metal sheets 11 have the same magnetic properties, they will generate mutually repelling magnetic forces, which will help to maintain the relative position between the isolation blocks stable and reduce deformation and gap increase caused by impact. When the metal sheets 11 have opposite magnetic properties, they will generate mutually attractive magnetic forces, which can also stabilize the position of the isolation blocks.

[0049] By properly setting the magnetism of the metal sheet 11, it is possible to ensure that the gap between the isolation block and the rolling element remains stable and does not increase continuously due to impact or load changes. This can prevent the isolation block from falling out or turning over, and can also improve the rolling efficiency and stability of the bearing, ensuring the normal operation of the bearing.

[0050] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, a first through hole 110 is provided at the center of the metal sheet 11 and a plurality of second through holes 111 are provided around the center. The isolation block formed by the polymer plastic wrapped by the metal reinforcement 1 is provided with a first oil channel 22 and a second oil channel 23 connecting the two concave spherical surfaces 20.

[0051] The first oil channel 22 and the second oil channel 23 arranged at the center of the isolation block and around the center can reduce the contact area between the ball and the isolation block and reduce friction. The lubricating oil can enter the contact area between the ball and the isolation block more directly and effectively to achieve deep lubrication. In the process of flowing through the first oil channel 22 and the second oil channel 23, the lubricating oil can take away part of the heat generated by friction and solve the problem of heat and wear.

[0052] Furthermore, the concave spherical surface 20 of the isolation block body is provided with an oil groove 21, that is, a recessed groove arranged on the concave spherical surface 20, and a plurality of oil grooves 21 are arranged around the first oil channel 22, which can further reduce friction and improve lubrication between the ball and the isolation block.

[0053] As a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, an oil storage space 12 is formed between the two metal sheets 11 and the metal ring 10 .

[0054] The design of the oil storage space 12 enclosed between the two metal sheets 11 and the metal ring 10 allows more lubricating oil to be stored inside the isolation block. This not only ensures that the bearing has sufficient lubricating oil supply during long-term operation, but also reduces the degradation of lubricating performance and increased wear caused by insufficient lubricating oil. Specifically, during the movement of the bearing, the lubricating oil will be thrown out of the oil storage space 12 by the centrifugal force and supplied to the concave spherical surface 20 and other parts that need lubrication from the first oil channel 22 or the second oil channel 23. In this way, even under high-speed operation or high-load working conditions, the bearing can maintain a good lubrication state and reduce friction and wear.

[0055] Furthermore, the metal ring 10 is provided with a third through hole 100 connected to the oil storage space 12 , and the isolation block formed by the metal reinforcement 1 wrapped with polymer plastic is correspondingly provided with a third oil passage 24 connected to the oil storage space 12 .

[0056] The provision of the third through hole 100 and the third oil channel 24 enables the lubricating oil in the oil storage space 12 to flow smoothly to the parts that need lubrication. During the movement of the bearing, the lubricating oil can be continuously thrown out from the oil storage space 12 through the third through hole 100 and the third oil channel 24 or enter the oil storage space 12 from the third oil channel 24, ensuring that the concave spherical surface 20 and other key parts are always fully lubricated. At the same time, the opening of the third oil channel 24 improves the heat dissipation efficiency. The lubricating oil can take away more heat during the circulation process, which helps to reduce the operating temperature of the bearing. Since the design of the metal ring 10 itself has sufficient strength and stability, the opening of the third through hole 100 on the metal ring 10 will not have a significant impact on the overall strength of the isolation block. At the same time, the wrapping structure of the metal reinforcement 1 and the polymer plastic further enhances the strength and durability of the isolation block.

[0057] Anything not described in the present invention can be achieved by adopting or drawing on existing technologies.

[0058] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of various changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
